If you seek wisdom, you have likely come to the wrong place, but I will do my best.
If you come with insults or put-downs, at least make them clever.
If I haven't replied in 48 hours, either I forgot or I assumed you didn't want a reply.
I review good article nominations on request, but only if it's about a country where I've never done a review before (see the last column in my articles per country) and if you've reviewed more articles than you've nominated.

I agree. Hopefully, this means that more comic book characters (and characters in general) will be nominated for FACs in the future.

Congrats on getting Iron Man to FA status! You have done an amazing job with it, and it's so nice to finally have another comics character article besides Anarky that has FA status. I agree with Aoba in hoping that Iron Man's success helps prompt the reworking and promotion of other character articles in the future. I also hope that my nitpicky comments didn't get too annoying. I really wanted the article to succeed and be promoted to FA, but I also wanted to ensure I did an actual review of its content, rather than half-assing it, and help make it better.

With 608 points, Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!
In addition to his spot in the top three, BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.
The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...
We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

Congratulations on the new FAC and appearance soon, but today we thank you for Iron Man, introduced: "When engineering genius Tony Stark was kidnapped and forced to build a weapon, he turned the tables on his kidnappers by designing a powered suit of armor and fighting his way out. With this new armor, he pledged to fight evil as the superhero Iron Man! First created by Marvel Comics in 1963, Iron Man has since become one of the company's most popular characters, in no small part because of his central role in Marvel's films. In the 60 years since Iron Man was first created, the character has appeared in countless comic book stories and other media, commenting on issues like Cold War politics, alcoholism, and technological progress."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:29, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241020062900","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241020062900-Edith_Roosevelt_scheduled_for_TFA","replies":[]}}-->

I don't care enough to challenge the close, but I wanted to a) thank you for closing it b) point out I don't think there's a consensus. There's no real policy compelling policy argument to include and MOS:USEPROSE should apply. Many of the exclude votes touched on the confusing nature of the graph and how prose would be better. That wasn't mentioned in your summary and those arguments should have received more weight than the simple "I want it" votes that ignored the issues with the graph. Thanks for pointing out the bludgeoning issues that are inherent with articles like that, but I feel you've missed the mark on this one. Thanks for your time.

When I was getting into reviewing GANs my main activity for a while was reading the reviews of GANs as they passed/failed. I learnt a lot from the process, in particular the practice of editors performing an independent search for sources when they suspected a failure of 3a, but also the habit of separating reviewing the criteria from suggestions and what a spot check could look like. I saw your comment on WT:GAN about your how to review guide gathering dust and was curious how feasible/ideal you thought integrating exemplar reviews would be. Perhaps in a gamified way, "reviewing the reviews" to see what they're missing.

This is something that the community has endorsed (Wikipedia talk:Good Article proposal drive 2023#Proposal 4: Proposed model reviews and Wikipedia:Exceptional reviews), but actually deciding on how to find the reviews has not worked. I've also considered adding some review examples to the reviewing guide, but I encountered the same problem where there are so many different ways to approach a review and so many different circumstances that it's hard to define what a model example is.

Hello,
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
The centre-right commonly supports ideas such as [[small government]], [[law and order (politics)|law and order]], [[freedom of religion]], and strong [[national security]]. It has historically stood in opposition to [[radical politics]], [[redistributive policies]], [[multiculturalism]], [[immigration]], and [[LGBT]] acceptance. Economically, the centre-right supports [[free market]]s and the [[social market economy]], with [[market liberalism]] and [[neoliberalism]] being common centre-right economic positions. It typically seeks to preserve the cultural and socioeconomic ''[[status quo]]'' and believes that changes should be [[gradualism|implemented gradually]].

In the Right wing wiki there's nothong about lgbt or immigration, why if the centre right that is more moderate has to have that clause. And why you don't search abput left wing homophobia. Ypu are only trying to impose your opinion. If there's information about democratic politicians in the USA opposing LGBT rights, or social democrats and socialists with homophobe trends, I acept what you're saying, but there's not. It's only a clause traying to show the centre right people as the devil. Totally biased.

The sources that you are listimg are personal opinions, they are only seeing one side, ask those people what they know about left wing homophobia. LGBT acceptance is not an ideological issue, stop trying to show the right as the devil, and the left as the angels, because the sources that you are saying are only trying to criticize one side, and not to improve the left amd the mistakes they have. Homophobes and transphobes and traditional people are both rightwingers and leftwingers. The wiki has to be independent, not left wing biased.

Thank you today for Edith Roosevelt, introduced as "a lifelong companion to President Theodore Roosevelt, from childhood until Theodore's death. Shying from the spotlight as her husband became increasingly famous, she found herself thrown into the role of first lady over a matter of days when Theodore unexpectedly became president of the United States. As first lady, she ruled Washington's social life with an iron fist, holding meetings with the wives of Theodore's cabinetmembers to determine when and how they were to hold events—and who they weren't allowed to invite. Edith took charge of the White House's first major renovation, and she was the first of the first ladies to hire her own employee. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:06, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241119090600","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241119090600-TFA","replies":[]}}-->
Excellent point, and well made. I've often thought whenever the cry of "we need more admins" goes up that quality rather than quantity might be a useful watchword.

Please withdraw that comment. I have not "kicked" any dogs, but your wording accuses me of doing that very thing. I get that we disagree on the value that Graham87 brings to the project; that's fine. Your perspective is likely to prevail. On the other hand, berating those with whom you disagree is exactly the behaviour on the part of the candidate with which you take issue.
I was asked why I don't often participate at RFA a while ago. You are why, or at least the type of comment you made to me is why. The reason RFA is failing is exactly these kinds of comments, whether they are directed to opposers or supporters. None of you had any reason at all to comment in any way about my vote. You were just doing it to be nasty. It does not reflect well on any of you as editors, and seriously makes me wonder how you behave with newbies, yourselves. (No, I'm not going to go digging through your contributions.) You are obviously a talented editor. We both know you don't have any reason to be uncivil toward me. My vote wasn't even worth a comment, and you know it.
I hope you will take on board that newbies are far more likely to see the way you treat others than they will how any given admin treats others. You're much more prolific than am I (yes, most of my work is in areas away from content), and you encounter many more people in a typical editing day. I hope that you will consider why you consider civility so important, and why it is more beneficial to you, and to the project, that you model the behaviour you expect of fellow Wikipedians.

I'm really not sure how I'm supposed to respond to this. You cast your vote to overlook one of the most vile, repulsive patterns of behavior ever directed toward newbies on this site by an admin. You chose to stand by an admin who routinely blocks newbies and tells them they're not welcome here because they're still learning the Manual of Style. You threw your support toward an admin who once found a newbie, blocked them, rolled back their hundreds of edits, called them incompetent, removed talk page access, and removed email access because they were copyediting too quickly and he got a bad vibe. And then hardly a few hours later, you have the nerve to leave a three-paragraph lecture on my talk page about setting a good example for newbies because I used a common analogy to refer to said behavior. You were the scolder in this scenario, by the way, not the kicker. Otherwise the analogy doesn't make sense.

Right-wing politics has historically opposed social acceptance of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people, but the European centre-right has come to support protections on the basis of sexual orientation.[54] Some centre-right groups have taken the position that gay marriage and adoption by gay couples are an extension of the traditional nuclear family.[55] Such support has not been widely extended to transgender people.[56]

You are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to tworeferrals to WP:ARCA. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:
First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.
Second, the evidence phasehas been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC).

Hi - I reviewed the Black Widow article, and I think it definitely passes. I gave some brief suggestions at the end of my review but I don't think they are required now. I don't fully understand the process of how to list it as a Good Article for all to see, though. If you let me know the next steps, I can do that.

On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for good article nomination reviews will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog.
Barnstars will be awarded based on the number, length, and age of nominations reviewed.
Each article review will earn 1 point; for each 90 days an article has been in the backlog, an additional half-point is awarded; one extra point will be awarded for every 2500 total reviewed words.
