We will also focus on the Wikimedia NYC Strategic Plan, our Financial Report, and Annual and Monthly event teams for the coming year.

  • Voting will be both online, via emailed ballots from the ElectionBuddy service, and in-person.

  • For additional information, please consult the Election FAQ.

Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024

 

Hello Voorts:

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

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! 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 31 countries (or broader international articles) 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!

DYK for Fan wiki

On 13 September 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fan wiki, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that some fan wikis document fan fiction? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fan wiki. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Fan wiki), 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 barnstar for you!

  The Original Barnstar
For creating and bringing the fan wiki article to Good Article status (and also promoting it to DYK). That was a really well written article on an important aspect of internet culture. Keep up the good work! Spirit of Eagle (talk) 01:27, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

About closing Admin Recall Phase 2

Thank you very much, both you and User:Queen of Hearts for closing the Admin Recall Phase 2. At the rate everyone was skipping closing that one, I was genuinely concerned we might not get it closed at all, or at least for another few months. Thanks both of you for taking on this one.

I do have a further request/question. The further steps from this process are a bit unclear. In my personal opinion, all of these closes combined may be enough to establish consensus for Recall to be implemented as is, but there are editors who would prefer a final up-down vote after Phase 2 closed. There was further discussion on Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/2024_review#Administrator_recall,_phase_II, which was effectively derailed by the strong opinions and the fact that everyone there was pretty much involved.

I believe the best way to resolve this is by the closer(s) of Phase 2. Would either/both of you be willing to weigh in on this? It'd help us not be deadlocked on future steps for this. Soni (talk) 05:41, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
