Odyssey and the arts

Hey!—Hope all is well with you. I don't know if you recall, but we had talked about fixing up the citation formatting on the Odyssey page; I went ahead and did so, though there is a little clean up left that I will get to soon. If you have any spare time, the citations for Reece and Mayor need page numbers.

I see you've been less actively lately, but I have a proposition for you! I was thinking about taking a formal stab The arts article; I've already added a bit to it in the past, and wondered if you might want to work on the literary arts section? It's a VIT1 article, and I would do the performing arts section, and then ask another editor (perhaps Johnbod) to do the visual arts section. I have quite a few pending projects at the moment, and given your inactivity, I was thinking (if you're interested) we might start this in a few months? Thought I'd throw it out there.

I will take the silence as a note that you are otherwise occupied. Best – Aza24 (talk) 00:01, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

@Aza24: Hi, Aza. Apologies - didn't see this at the time. I unfortunately don't have the time I used to, but it isn't just about time. Wikipedia used to be a seasonal itch for me: on holiday from university, I'd miss engaging intellectually and used editing as a way to get that. Work, unfortunately, scratches the same itch, and I've now graduated and work full time, so the "Wikipedia energy" is just taken up elsewhere. I hope one day, when I've progressed in my career, I'll get back to editing, but for now I am essentially retired. — ImaginesTigers (talk∙contribs) 16:46, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Ah, totally understandable. Your earlier contributions are already a formidable legacy, though I do hope you'll find to time in the future to return. Take care. – Aza24 (talk) 18:06, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

@Aza24: Goodbye for now, not forever :) — ImaginesTigers (talk∙contribs) 19:12, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Augustus

Hello! I reverted your edit to Augustus because you actually introduced a grammatical error, coupling "a" ~ a singular article ~ with "networks" ~ a plural noun. Happy days ~ Lindsay^Hello 12:37, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

@LindsayH: Thanks for noticing. I don't really think a talk message was necessary for this... — ImaginesTigers (talk∙contribs) 13:12, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

No, i agree; i only put it because i use Twinkle to revert, it automatically opens the talk page to edit, and i was partway in before i really noticed you're not a newbie who needed an explanation & encouragement. Nice to meet you, though. Happy days ~ Lindsay^Hello 08:28, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Signups open for The Core Contest

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—will take place this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24.

The Core Contest winners announced

The winners of the 2023 The Core Contest are announced 🎉. We had an amazing set of improvements this year, and the judges (Femke, Aza24 and Casliber) would like to thank everybody who joined and congratulate the winners.

• First place goes to Buidhe for improving The Holocaust; very core, highly relevant; their work on bringing geographical balance to the article puts the topic in a whole different light. We also commend improvements to sourcing and prose
• A close second place goes to Phlsph7 for improving Education from an unstructured jumble into a well-sourced piece of instruction
• Third prize goes to Johnbod for improving Donatello, a near five-fold expansion with great sourcing and fantastic imagery
• A tie for fourth place goes to Thebiguglyalien for improving Crime, for a strong improvement in sourcing
• A tie for fifth place goes to Sammielh for International law, improved by converting contextless listicles into a proper sourced prose
