Congrats! I have the page watchlisted and have appreciated the steady improvements this month. It's wild how Darger created so much and kept it all to himself. I just had someone send me a photo after they did a nice katsudon for dinner and cannot imagine someone putting so much work into art so inherently private.

A very helpful FA reviewer

[edit]

FYI: There is a very helpful reviewer at FAC, MSIncccc, that has reviewed several of my nominations, and always has fine suggestions. I visited their WP home page and noticed they had written this: "The following are some of the goals I hope to achieve before I leave school: ... Receiving a thank button click from UndercoverClassicist, Wehwalt, and Generalissima by virtue of my work. They are among my inspirations." I thought that was kind of cool, and so I'm notifying you of their wish. Of course, you already got pinged when they wrote it ... so you can do what you wish with this reminder.

Thank you today for Algemeyne Entsiklopedye, "about a twelve-volume Yiddish encyclopedia that was published over more than thirty years, during which time most of its audience and many of its editors were killed in the Holocaust, and the project transformed from a fairly typical general-purpose encyclopedia to a memorial to prior Jewish life and culture. I'll note that this article relies quite heavily on one author—Barry Trachtenberg—as he is the only scholar to do extensive scholarly analysis of the text; were it not for him, this article would be little more than a stub."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:43, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the 2026 WikiCup!

[edit]

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2026 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here, and a bot will set up your submissions page within one day, ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2026 WikiCup, the highest-ranking contestants will receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. This is the same scoring system that we had last year. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants are no longer eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).

Avi Loeb entry in WP:RSP

[edit]

Hi, first of all thank you for closing the Avi Loeb RfC at WP:RSN. I've added him to the perennial source list (WP:RSP/X due to overflow) and wanted your two cents about whether the entry accurately summarized your close.

In a 2026 RfC, there was general consensus among editors that Avi Loeb is not a reliable source, nor a subject matter expert within the meaning of WP:SPS, on topics including UFOs, xenobiology, galactic astronomy, aeronautics, and system astronomy. Editors noted his frequent false claims, misuse of the peer-review process and failure to retract claims in the face of disconfirmatory evidence. A minority of editors felt that his work in these fields was usable, especially his peer-reviewed output. There was no consensus about Loeb's reliability as a source on high-redshift astrophysics and cosmology.

Thank you today for The Ladies' Journal, introduced as "a particularly long-running women's magazine in early 20th century China. The May Fourth Movement turned this typical women's magazine featuring housekeeping tips and low-brow romance stories into a surprisingly radical periodical espousing feminism and free love, all under the editorship of a guy who had never written about women's issues in his life but got really really invested in them from this job. He got booted from the job in 1925 after making a special issue on 'new sexual morality', which attracted a lot of negative attention for its endorsement of polyamory. After this, The Ladies' Journal went back to being a pretty normal women's magazine, while Zhang went off and founded one of the Commercial Press's biggest competitors, Kaiming."! - thank you also for more featured content! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:59, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the ping, but...

[edit]

I'm recusing myself from reviewing. Ever since my last failed FAC, I've decided to boycott the FAC process, for I find the standards demanded for "high quality sources", especially for topics which might not have wider coverage, to be unrealistic. However, I can only wish you the best in getting that article to FA; it would be interesting to see such a topic on the main page (as TFA) one day.Maybe, one day, an article covering a subject in modern day Singapore would pass.--ZKang123 (talk · contribs) 09:08, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
