I really appreciate it. I was feeling a bit confused and sad after that - I genuinely am only trying to learn policy rules / guidelines. No, thank you! Abs145 (talk) 22:00, 10 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

This is a great article. Came here to build this page, but realised a stellar job had already been done! Not indexing on Google for some reason (yet). BridgeBoy1980 (talk) 13:57, 22 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

noticed the google issue, too...

But thanks so much! There's still not a lot of 'citable' / WP standard citations on him yet. Abs145 (talk) 20:55, 22 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'll add it to my watch-list and collab with you on it where I can. See you around! BridgeBoy1980 (talk) 10:54, 23 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hey Abs145, thank you again for volunteering for the coordinator role. After discussing it with the rest of the team, we've decided to go with other candidates, who we'll announce in an update later this month. Good news, though: that leaves you open to signing up as a participant! Let me know if you have any questions. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:04, 14 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, please always use Preview, and avoid using nowiki unless you really need to, and are sure it's being used correctly. I've fixed Economy of Rwanda, where the broken nowiki was damaging the infobox. Thank you, Jessicapierce (talk) 16:16, 30 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

The 2026 Developing Countries WikiContest has been running for a month now, so let's check in with the competition so far!

As of the time of writing, our top contestants are:

1. Vanderwaalforces (submissions) ahead of the pack with 715 points, with two FAs and many GAs on the monarchs of the Kingdom of Benin;
2. Simongraham (submissions) with 291 points, mostly with GAs on jumping spiders, alongside various GAN and FAC reviews;
3. Jaguarnik (submissions) with 240 points, mostly from an FA on the 1945 film Ivan the Terrible;
4. Grnrchst (submissions) with 215 points, mostly from GAs on anarchist history in various countries, alongside many GA reviews, and;
6. Vestrian24Bio (submissions) tied for 4th with 215 points, with an FL and four GAs on Indian cricket!

These competitors are in the lead, but if past experience is any indication, big shake-ups might still await us in the contest. If you're looking for a way to boost your position, we got a table of review requests from fellow participants—you can rack up a lot of points through reviews, and it might just convince others to review your own nominations! You can also look through the eligible reviews page to find other articles to review, with highlights for articles eligible for the 1.5× multiplier. The coordinators would like to thank Jaguarnik (submissions) for his work to keep this page up to date.

Thank you so much for all your work in the contest so far, dear participants, and keep on the good fight against systemic bias on our wiki! Have any questions?
