Hi, I really think the IP should be blocked for longer than a week, given that their disruption follows immediately after the one-week block imposed by me on March 21. I would do it for a month. Any objection to my increasing the block?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:54, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

@Bbb23: you're quite right; the block log as displayed on twinkle was bugging out, I think, leading me to believe the previous was for a day. I've done it myself. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:00, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Thanks much.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:20, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey Vanamonde, following up from our previous discussion, I'm hoping to get this article to FAC sometime soon as I have a bit more time on my hands. If you'd like to leave some comments for improvement before that, now would be a great time to do so! Let me know if you'd prefer I open a PR to facilitate the discussion. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:10, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder...it's been on my to-do list, but as you may have seen I've not been terribly active. I'll try to take a look in the next week or so...Best, Vanamonde93 (talk) 18:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Firstly, congratulations on the promotion of "The Day Before the Revolution" below! Thanks for your copyedits on the article last week. As I mentioned earlier, I finally have some time to conceivably take on an FAC, and I've taken out a couple of sources from the local library in preparation. Is there any last things you'd like me to take another look at before the nomination? If not, I aim to get started on it as soon as possible. Let me know what you think. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:04, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
@TechnoSquirrel69: I looked through the article the other day, and my congratulations to you on some very thorough research. My immediate impression was very positive. There were a meagre handful of sources which I would like to skim through, if it's okay with you, and I'd go over the prose. I've been largely away from Wikipedia this week, but I expect to be more active beginning Friday. I hope that is not too late for you. If it is, I won't hold it against you if you'd like to proceed with the nomination, but if you're willing to be (even more) patient, I'd appreciate the chance, as it's such an interesting subject. Vanamonde93 (talk) 21:23, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
No problem! I am admittedly quite eager to get started, but I would also be grateful for any help you're willing to provide, and this weekend shouldn't be too late at all. Also, I forgot to mention this earlier, but let me know if you'd like me to email pictures of any of the offline sources; I have a few physical copies, and some others I can access e-books of through my library. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Much appreciated, and I will. I recognize eagerness, certainly! And I'm sorry it's taken me this long, I never seem to have the time I used to. Vanamonde93 (talk) 21:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
The nomination is now live! I understand if you feel you weren't able to address as many things on the article as you might've liked, but I invite to you leave comments on the candidate! I'll do my best to take on any improvements you feel it needs. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:33, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
I understand, and I apologize for taking this long. I don't really feel I can be a dispassionate reviewer at FAC, but I'll be watching with interest. Ironically this weak I will probably have some time to go through my sources, and if I find things to add I'll do so: but perhaps I won't. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
You have nothing to apologize for — I appreciate any contributions you're able to make to the article, whichever way you'd feel is best! TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time

Hello Vanamonde93:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

@Alanna the Brave: Thanks for asking...I may be, but I've been extremely busy IRL and I don't want to make promises I cannot keep. So it may be best not to list me among the willing reviewers at the moment, apologies. Vanamonde93 (talk) 19:58, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Here's the data you asked for. I haven't done any validation on this other than checking one record to see if it matched reality, so you might look at a couple more before having faith in it; I have to head out for the evening shortly so was a bit short of time. I'm curious as to what you're planning to use this for?

Thanks very much! Primarily, as a list to search through adminship candidates. If an editor is on this list, has a clean block log, and has some maintenance experience, there's a good chance they'd make a strong candidate. It needs more vetting than that, of course, but I suspect this will be a stronger starting point than most. I specifically wanted first-timers, though, because old hands have probably already been looked at, and are either unwilling or unsuitable. Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:07, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Rowling

Hi Vanamonde, I know that you have little time for J.K Rowling (and probably want to have nothing to do with it) but after having it off my watchlist for a few weeks I looked in tonight to find that the criticism section has been hollowed out. I've reverted but can't spend time on the talk page (and honestly am not one of the main contribs/authors) and so am dumping this here, to be blunt. Feel free to ignore. Hope all is well, Victoria (tk) 02:20, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

@Victoriaearle: Thanks for the note...I haven't had the time or stamina to engage with the transgender views debate. I'm not happy with these removals, though, and I'd missed them in the flurry of other edits, so thank you for bringing them to my attention (I have also made a further revert). I don't know if I can engage in extensive discussion about them, but I will attempt to stop by. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:03, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Ah, I missed the edit to the reception section. I hear you regarding not having time of stamina. I really only barely have energy for another article that needs work at the moment. Once I'm done there, I'll put Rowling back on watch, but don't want the distraction until later. All that said, in my view the literary criticism section is worth keeping. Be well, Victoria (tk) 21:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
I quite understand. I'm hopeful the literary discussion will be constructive. Vanamonde93 (talk) 00:21, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Citizenship Amendment Act

Hello, I would like to specify that I added Zoroastrians instead of Parsis as not all Zoroastrians are Parsis (I understand that is what Zoroastrians are called in India as well as a specific group of Zoroastrians in India). Firekong1 (talk) 14:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

@Firekong1: I'm well aware of the distinction, but Wikipedia is written based on reliable sources say, not what editors believe to be true. The text currently in the article - which says that the CAA applies to Parsis - is supported by multiple sources. Do you have a source saying that the law distinguishes between Parsis and Zoroastrians? That it gives eligibility to Zoroastrians but not to non-Zoroastrian Parsis? Until you find such a source, we can't change the text. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
No, but I thought to made the distinction just in case as not all Zoroastrians are Parsis. Firekong1 (talk) 18:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
That would be reasonable to do elsewhere, but on Wikipedia you do need a source. Vanamonde93 (talk) 00:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
