Precious

[edit]

cozy games

Thank you for quality articles such as Midland Main Line upgrade, A9 dualling project, Jubilee Bridge (Tay) and Cozy game, for quality reviewing and DYK work including promoting, for appreciating the work of others, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2986 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:57, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Gerda Arendt for this prize!! I'm currently planning to improve some articles (mostly cosy video games) such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Beaulieu Park railway station, Fae Farm, My Time at Sandrock, UKCA marking, Tiny Glade to GA (ACNH to FA). I was surprised to see the cozy game article being made by someone else and I nominated that for DYK just in time (seeing as that's my first DYK nomination), though I created its own category. It seems odd that I have interests in transport and video game topics, as well as working at DYK (and a little at AfC). And I've reviewed three GA articles, seeing as my first GA review, is impressive on its own, but even more so when its a first. Even better that I only have 4000 edits and been editing since end of 2023! My A9 dualling project article is almost 50k bytes and I think I spent hours on editing/improving that article alone. I knew Reverosie would get an award (and I've given her a barnstar), but I didn't expect to receive one myself immediately after her receiving an EOTW!!

Thank you! What you did for her actually prompted it ;) - If you want to do another GA review: I always have some open ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations Juniper!!!!! You are extremely deserving of something like this, and your work on articles about cozy games is amazing. You've been nothing but kind to me, so seeing that you're getting your flowers makes me incredibly happy. I'm so happy for you!! ‍🌷Reverosie🌷★talk★ 16:52, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Reverosie Thank you very much Rosie!!! I think this is our best day yet! JuniperChill (talk) 21:36, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thank you very much for the flowers Gerda!! JuniperChill (talk) 23:44, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Did you notice the moth, in an unusual position? (They normally show the bright colour only when flying.) - If you'd like to receive flowers every month you are active, join WP:QAI ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:31, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

welcome! - Check out my talk for an Independence day, or: the pic of Oksana Lyniv was taken on 24 August. There's listening and reading in today's story, and I like both. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:23, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Not for EU

[edit]

On 4 September 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Not for EU, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a major UK retail CEO criticised the "Not for EU" label as "bureaucratic madness"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Not for EU. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Not for EU), 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.

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Ibrahim Abubakr

[edit]

Hi there, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia! I wanted to let you know I've declined your G11 speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Ibrahim Abubakr because the draft does not read as unambiguously promotional. Let me know if you have any questions. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:19, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok. Guess I should have thought twice before applying CSD. Maybe its too short to be G11. JuniperChill (talk) 10:48, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jenni's Quesadillas (nom)

[edit]

hey! no harm, no foul, but in general, if a reviewer proposes an entirely new hook (one that introduces new facts), it should be reviewed by someone who isn't the nominator before promotion :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 20:31, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

got it @Theleekycauldron:. I haven't been promoting hooks for a while and didn't realise I should wait for the hook to be reviewed by another reviewer. JuniperChill (talk) 20:57, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thank you - John Rutter 80 today! I sang his major choral works with four choirs, and many of his uplifting anthems, 13 DYK? I watched him explain his Magnificat in person in 1998, and now see it on Youtube: he wore the same outfit. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:10, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration

  • After a motion, arbitration enforcement page protections no longer need to be logged in the AELOG. A bot now automatically posts protections at WP:AELOG/P. To facilitate this bot, protection summaries must include a link to the relevant CT page (e.g. [[WP:CT/BLP]]), and you will receive talk page reminders if you forget to specify the contentious topic but otherwise indicate it is an AE action.
