New editor wanting a look at a draft law article

Hi voorts! I'm a new user mentor and I've got a mentee on my talk asking for a check over a draft law article. I don't feel confident enough in my knowledge of the area to be able to help much with their submission – would you mind taking a look over Draft:Praeterintention? Or I could ask the WikiProject if you prefer, just not sure how best to proceed with their question. Thanks! Perfect4th (talk) 04:19, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

This draft was discussed (briefly) at WikiProject Law recently. Unfortunately, as you noted in your response to your mentee, it's still highly technical. It's unfortunate that your mentee believes that simplifying it further means giving the user wrong information. Notwithstanding that Wikipedia is for a general audience, even I as a practicing attorney am having trouble understanding what praeterintention means after reading that draft. I'm not sure there's much else to tell this editor other than what you've already said about providing context/summary style. Best, voorts (talk/contributions) 13:43, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Promotion of Costello's

Congratulations, Voorts! The article you nominated, Costello's, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, David Fuchs (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:05, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Costello's

On 28 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Costello's, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ernest Hemingway broke a cane over John O'Hara's head in Costello's, an Irish bar in New York City? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Costello's. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Costello's), 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.

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for letting me know about the necessary changes to RfC:_Trump_infobox_photo. It really helped me understand the formatting Wikipedia requires. If there's anything else I can learn, please let me know. Goodtiming8871 (talk) 09:30, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Thoughts

I apologise for cutting across your proposal to vote on blocking yesterday. I understand why you suggested it, and I must admit I was close to considering it. I just felt we might avoid alienating what otherwise appeared to be to be a useful editor. There is no guarantee that I am correct, of course. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:54, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

No need to apologize. The discussion was closed without action. I hope you are correct about this editor, but like Fastily, my spidey senses were tingling. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:03, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

WP:ROPE is always a wondrous thing 😇 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 11:40, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
