DYK for Sailor Moon (North American live-action adaptation)
On 9 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sailor Moon (North American live-action adaptation), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that there were two failed attempts to adapt Sailor Moon into a Western live-action series? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sailor Moon (North American live-action adaptation). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Sailor Moon (North American live-action adaptation)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Perhaps you'd be interested
In reviewing my FAC at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Venus in fiction/archive1, which is apparently not of interest to regular FAC contributors and is about to expire due to a lack of comments? I am unsure who may be interested in this topic, but I thought of you first :) Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:49, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- I'll take a look! I don't think I've participated in a FA before or if I have, it's been an extremely long time, but no better time to start! ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 17:07, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
Question
In a routine check of my deleted contributions I an article that got the axe a while back. It was apparently done via request for undeletion on G13 grounds - which is fine, articles for the most part deserve a second chance at life - however what caught my attention was the requesting account. The requesting account was BiochemistryMajor2016, while a previous version I had tagged and seen deleted on copyvio grounds came on site again when CCFT Historian published the article. If you look at the contributions between the two I see both seem interested in this particular person, and both versions of the article use the same imageamd when I take a closer look at CCFT Historian and BiochemistryMajor2016, the latter made the unblock request but the former claims the first edit for creation according to the logs, both accounts it seems are claiming this as their first article, which could suggest foul play. I'm concerned about copyright, but right now I'm interested in whether or not you think you may have socks here or if i'm just being paranoid? TomStar81 (Talk) 09:49, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- (PS: I never thought TokyoGirl was insensitive, I personally rather liked it, but I understand the reason for the change. Distabce sometimes does us good :) TomStar81 (Talk) 09:49, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- There's a decent possibility it could be the same person, however I will note that BiochemistryMajor2016 last edited in 2020 and CCFT Historian started this year. It's possible that they may have forgotten the PW for the previous account. If you think that there's good reason to suspect that the other relatively new accounts editing the page are the same editor, you could bring that up to SPA. I'll try to weigh in on the discussion to help explain guidelines and so on to the users, as well as weed through the sourcing.

Adding Article - Nastik Nation
I had added an article under the name 'Nastik Nation' , which was removed by you. This organization is an affiliate of Atheist Alliance International. If you think it now has reached the notability benchmark, would you please consider adding it back? Please update me your views on this. Thanks. KannanSivaram (talk) 00:36, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
- I would recommend creating a new draft at WP:AfC with sourcing to establish notability, then running it through that process. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 14:19, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, ReaderofthePack!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:36, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

The problem with a certain sockpuppeteer
Hello, ReaderofthePack. I'm back again after months of inactivity. After I logged in with a computer than runs Windows 11 (due to the fact that Windows 7 had its support ended by 2023 and I used to edit with a computer that runs the latter one) and reverted the skin to Vector Legacy (because Vector (2022) as Wikipedia's default skin makes me uncomfortable when reading texts and attempting to search anything), I want to inform you about a sockpuppeteer.
I remember that I was less active in Wikipedia because I was busy. One day, an user that is a fan of both Amphibia and Jurassic Park merely added a template claiming that it is written from a fan's point of view and submitted my draft again, only to have this unexpected submission declined. In response, I had sent a message in this user's talk page where I asked for explanations. Despite receiving my message, the user disregarded my advices and continued to attempt to turn drafts into live articles without taking any considerations, as well as uploading copyright files to excess. As a result, the user's contributions proved to be their undoing by being blocked.
After this user was blocked, the user became a sockpuppeter in order to resume their attempt to turn drafts into live articles, regardless of their conditions. Yesterday, the user used an IP address to unexplainably remove text that indicated when the short film André appeared was released. This turns out to be my last straw, as I didn't hesitate to denounce this sockpuppeteer's actions by complaining about its behaviour.
I don't think that blocking this IP address is sufficient to stop this once for all. It is important to revert the sockpuppets' edits to the last revision prior to this. In addition, the sockpuppeteer deserves a topic ban. What do you think of this situation?--André the Android(talk) 18:20, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi! I'll try and take a look at this later, but I'm also admittedly not on as much lately either. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 21:39, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- @ReaderofthePack: I understand your situation, but an admin has already blocked said IP address and I am taking in consideration about reverting the edit myself, as nobody has vowed to undo this revision. After reverting this edit, I will attempt to improve the draft by either replacing "The Graphics Group" with "Lucasfilm Computer Graphics" or adding an URL of an archived snapshot of the official The Pixar Touch web page (due to the fact that most of the content is redirected to a page about the namesake book from the author's official web).
- Although the rare André & Wally B. image that showed how the "teardrop" shape is created hasn't been archived at all, I still have a copy of this file and I think I might upload it once the draft becomes a live article in the near future. Besides, there is a page of investigations about this user and their sockpuppets where any admin can inform everyone about any potential sockpuppet. So, I'll take care of looking for any potential sockpuppet of this user to inform you.--André the Android(talk) 18:46, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- I can move this to your userspace - when you're ready you can move it back to the AfC space - that may deter vandals. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 17:32, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- I've moved it to User:André the Android/André (Pixar character). ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 17:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- @ReaderofthePack: I initially thought it wasn't neccesary to move the draft to its former title but, as I see that you made this justification in both this section and the edit summary of each move, I'm glad that you move the draft for its safety.
- Aside of this safety measure for drafts, have you read the draft? I said that I find the "fan's point of view" template being tagged on it questionable because I don't see more content noticeably considered fancruft aside of the mention of a cancelled fan animated series that had its teaser trailer removed for unknown reasons. Therefore, I need to let me know if there are more issues in the draft. If there are no content that is considered fancruft in the draft, then it's possible to remove said template for not meeting the criteria.
- By the by, I noticed that there is an IP address that not only edits pages related to this article about a particular Amphibia character, but also has recreated a draft about Melody, a character from The Little Mermaid II, and resumed editing drafts related to Jurassic Park. I deduced that this IP address is a sockpuppet by said sockmaster, and it seems that this sockmaster will have their own "Long-term abuse" report sooner or later. What do you think of what I have said?--André the Android(talk) 12:11, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter
So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
- Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
- Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
- FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
- TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
- Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.
The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, Trainsandotherthings, Lee Vilenski, Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, SounderBruce, Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Can His Article Be Reinstated Or Soon?
- Hey. I know this was CCFT's article, but I also contributed to it. It's "Matthew Kenslow." I know he's getting closer to having a wikipedia page if not satisfied aready. He is now verified on Instagram with over 1 million followers and 80 thousand on Youtube. How much more notable do you need to be??? Plus he's back in the news. Check these recent stories out but know this isn't everything (see below #3):
- https://kslnewsradio.com/1996562/awareness-and-acceptance-for-those-with-autism/
- https://scrippsnews.com/stories/spotlighting-the-spectrum-autism-representation-on-tv/
- He was on ABC7 Los Angeles but I only found it on his Youtube channel. If it'll help reinstate this article, type "ON ABC7 LOS ANGELES NEWS | CDC Says Prevalence of Autism is Increasing | Early Intervention is Key" on his channel.
- I managed to find more articles of him on yahoo, insider, bloomberg, digital journal, market watch and much more but I know you'd might say that's all fluff so I'm not including those. He also got on a couple small podcasts but you might not consider those either but I have a link saved if you want.
- I hope he satisfied the requirements or at least is close. I still keep a close eye on Matthew's influence. If it was up to me I would reinstate him due to how much influence and coverage he got since last year.

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter
The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:
- Iazyges (1040) with three FAs on Byzantine emperors, and lots of bonus points.
- Unlimitedlead (847), with three FAs on ancient history, one GA and nine reviews.
- Epicgenius (636), a WikiCup veteran, with one FA on the New Amsterdam Theatre, four GAs and eleven DYKs
- BennyOnTheLoose (553), a seasoned competitor, with one FA on snooker, six GAs and seven reviews.

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
Women in Red 8th Anniversary | |
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

Hi! You reviewed Venus in fiction when it was at WP:FAC last year (Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Venus in fiction/archive1). It has now been nominated again, see Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Venus in fiction/archive2. If you are interested in weighing in on the new FAC, your input would be appreciated.
