Alice of Champagne

I am thinking of nominating Alice of Champagne for FA. As you were a major contributor, would you mind if I indicated you as a co-nominator? Borsoka (talk) 00:42, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear Borsoka and Serial Number 54129: many, many thanks for the kind words you left for me at the Alice nomination page. (It is so lovely seeing the golden star on her bio!) Lately, and for some time up to my hiatus, I have found it stressful to deal with editors whose strength of opinion is vastly disproportionate to their contribution to the main space/article content. But I have been editing for over half of my life now (rather scary a thing to write) and the itchiness to go back to it cannot be helped. You might see me devoting more time to other topics, however. Thank you both! Surtsicna (talk) 22:37, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

I am really glad you are back. I was worrying about you. :) Borsoka (talk) 01:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha

Hello @Surtsicna, you might recall that you made a number of suggestions to improve the article Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha a few months ago. The article is now going through an FA review. I was wondering if you might be interested in leaving some comments or supporting the nomination. Llewee (talk) 13:11, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry I was not around to help out more, Llewee. The article looks beautiful with its golden star! Surtsicna (talk) 08:26, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes I am very proud of it Llewee (talk) 10:28, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Welcome back and request to collaborate

Dear Surtsicna,

I hope that this message finds you well. I noticed that you had recently edited some pages on my watchlist. Consequently, I wanted to take this opportunity to formally welcome you back to Wikipedia. Please know that I have always appreciated and respected your insight, and your hiatus did not go unnoticed.

Also, I saw this comment of yours on Marie Antoinette's talk page. That piqued my interest because I have also found the ahnentafels presented on various articles to be quite confusing.

If I may ask, are you still interested in revising how royal genealogy is presented on Wikipedia? If so, I would be happy to work together with you to improve that presentation across articles. That being said, if you are not interested, I understand.

Sincerely,

AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 03:13, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, AndrewPeterT. Thank you for your kind words. I am happy to be back and do still care about if/how we present genealogy. Surtsicna (talk) 08:01, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Perugia's limia

On 30 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Perugia's limia, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that dominant males of Perugia's limia (species pictured) may be so preoccupied with fighting each other that the females end up mating with the subordinate males? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Perugia's limia. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Perugia's limia), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Proposed deletion of Kingdom of Macedonia (proposal)

The article Kingdom of Macedonia (proposal) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability of this article. No reliable, secondary, independent sources can be found on this topic and this idea seems to be only an ephemeral short-lived proposal, if any.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A barnstar for you!

		The Fishy Barnstar
		For your recent work on livebearers. They've been very educational! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 06:14, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

That's very sweet, GreenLipstickLesbian! (I still cannot get over how hilarious your user name is.) There is much more to come. I am genuinely surprised at how underdeveloped our species articles still are. Surtsicna (talk) 16:18, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
