Thank you today for 2015 Trophée Éric Bompard, introduced: "The 2015 Trophée Éric Bompard would have been just another figure skating competition were it not interrupted by the November 2015 Paris attacks."! - Thank you also for more quality content! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:43, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

I woke up to a Bach cantata, GA by an editor's first review, and it was the first time that I was involved (a bit) in a pictured ITN blurb. More pics of buildings by him on my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:40, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

	This is for your help on my first-ever GAN review! Thank you so much for that. I've been nervous to do this, but I think it went quite well. S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits) 22:48, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much! These are the articles that I currently have up for FL/FA consideration if you are so inclined:

• Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Norwegian Figure Skating Championships/archive1
• Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final/archive1 (nearing two months in queue)
• Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/German Figure Skating Championships/archive1
• Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships/archive2

They’re a little simpler, because they don’t depend on one reviewer, but a consensus of reviews. Thank you so much if you’re able to help! Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:21, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

No problem, I'll see what I can do here to help. _{S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits)} 23:28, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

User:SignedInteger: Make sure you log all of your work on your WikiCup page! Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:39, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I'm assuming this is only for things from this year or when you signed up, as such I only included my one GAN review that I did after signing up (the other one is still on-going, but it'll go fine too, I'm sure!) _{S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits)} 21:42, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Anything from 2026. Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:48, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Then I'll add my other review. Thanks! Hopefully my other GANs can get reviewed sooner rather than later but I'd rather encourage nominators with no reviews to just...review whatever interests them. I only mention that because those three GANs would obviously help here once they get reviewed and hopefully pass said review. That, and I'll be starting to encourage nominators with 0 reviews to try their hand at reviewing if they want to. Again, thanks. _{S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits)} 21:51, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Ich entschuldige mich. Du hast Recht; ich sollte am ersten Mal mich besser erklären. Dies ist für mich ein sehr schlechtes Jahr. Unser Gesundheitssystem hier in den USA ist wirklich verbrochen und das hat für mich viele Probleme mit meiner Stimmung und meinen Emotionen produziert. Ich sage das nicht wie eine Ausrede, sondern nur eine Erläuterung. Ich hatte entschieden, weniger auf Wikipedia jetzt zu tun – ich hatte einige ausstehende Projekte in FAC, FLC, und GAN, die für mich wichtig waren – und wenig anderes. Die Resultate waren klar nicht sehr gut. Ich hoffe, besser in der Zukunft zu tun. Ich möchte mindestens diese ausstehende Projekte fertig machen.

Ich habe gesehen, das du in Deutschland wohnst. Ich bin Deutschlehrer hier in den USA und habe wenige Chancen, Deutsch mit jemandem anderen zu sprechen. Ich hoffe, mein Deutsch war gut genug. Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:09, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Hallo Bgsu98, alles gut, kein Problem. Das Gesundheitssystem der USA ist hier quasi als das andere Extrem gegenüber Norwegen/Schweden/... ein Begriff. Kapitalismus in seiner extremsten Form; jeder versichert sich selbst oder stirbt. Vielleicht nicht ganz so klischeehaft extrem, aber ich höre von Amerikanern und in Berichten über die Zustände in den USA, beispielsweise aufgrund der Fentanylkrise, häufig Negatives über fehlende gesetzliche Krankenkassen und fehlende Pflichtversicherung darin.

Dein Deutsch ist sehr gut verständlich und fast vollständig korrekt; ich würde "am ersten Mal" durch "erst einmal" ersetzen und manche Deutsche bestehen darauf, man könne sich nicht selbst (aktiv) entschuldigen, sondern nur um Entschuldigung bitten. Im Englischen kenne ich diese Unterscheidung / diese Haarspalterei nicht. Das Wort "verbrochen" drückt gut verständlich aus, was gemeint ist, würde aber vermutlich eher durch "kaputt" (umgangssprachlich) oder "unbrauchbar"/"eine Katastrophe" ersetzt werden. Den bei deinem Text korrekten Halbgeviertstrich kennen viele bei uns nicht als Begriff und setzen stattdessen (fälschlicherweise) Bindestriche, das ist bei uns möglicherweise verbreiteter als im Englischen, wo es den schönen Begriff "en dash" gibt.

Ganz streng genommen ist es, glaube ich, "jemand anderem" (häufig) oder "jemandem anderem" (selten); warum das so ist, kann ich leider nicht erklären ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:57, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

ToBeFree: Ich benutze oft Verben mit "ver-", ein Extrem zu erklären. Zum Beispiel, "Die Welt verbrennt.", "Mein Herz ist verfroren.", "Das Gesundheitssystem der USA ist total verbrochen." Vielleicht sind diese Verben nicht genau "korrekt", aber das Extrem ist was wichtig ist. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:05, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Ah, ich verstehe :) Das ist gut nachvollziehbar. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:08, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Die Formulierung "im Eimer" gibt es auch noch! Das Gesundheitssystem ist total im Eimer. Aber diese Formulierung impliziert eigentlich, dass es früher einmal besser war. ;) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:09, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

As in, "Mülleimer"? 😂 Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:10, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Ja ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:10, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Ja, das ist wo wir jetzt in den USA sind: in einem großen, verbrennenden Mülleimer. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:12, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Ja, du hast Recht. "Jemand" ist das Pronomen; "ander" ist das Adverb. Nur wußte ich, das Dativ zu benutzen. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:09, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Pronomen, Adverb ... das ist mir zu hoch. 👍 ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:12, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Request reason:

I apologize for my conduct over the last few months. 2026 has been terrible for me; I don't offer that as an excuse, just an explanation. I had already intended to scale back my Wikipedia editing to focus almost exclusively on the projects currently pending at FAC, FLC, and GAN; and to avoid current events. I promise to do better in the future. Bgsu98 (Talk) 04:11, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Okay, thank you and no worries. I currently can't write a detailed reply but the appeal is fine and it would be wrong to keep you blocked for the next hours just because I can't reply in detail immediately. Welcome back. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 10:45, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, can you explain why you brought back Scott Hamilton's comments? Malinin's recent results, together with Lipinski's remarks, are sufficient to establish him as the presumptive favorite. Pizzigs (talk) 19:12, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

His results have nothing to do with the over-the-top, heaping praise and exaltations he received coming into the Olympics. That's why it's in appears before the results. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:14, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Yes, and that information belongs to his individual article, perhaps in relation to his subsequent collapse in the free skate and the impact of expectations on his performance. Why is it on the tournament page? Pizzigs (talk) 19:19, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Quotes can be trimmed to summarize that multiple sports commentators considered him an overwhelming favorite without giving undue weight to specific opinions. Pizzigs (talk) 19:24, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Fine, go ahead and revert it; I won't change it back. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:35, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

I shortened Hamilton's quote. The praise for Malinin wasn't his fault, so we shouldn't add to any unnecessary negativity. Pizzigs (talk) 19:58, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

I have submitted the men's, dance, and team articles to GA. I put too much work into them to abandon them at this point, but I won't be touching the pairs, women's, or the overall articles. Bgsu98 (Talk) 20:57, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

• 2025 CS Lombardia Trophy:
  

When you recently edited this article you added sfn/harv cite errors. Ref #11 is incomplete, it uses an sfn cite - {{Sfn|International Skating Union|2024|p=82}} - but there isn't a complete cite book/cite web etc for the sfn cite to target or link to. When you add the complete citation, the article will no longer be in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors.

• 2025 CS Nebelhorn Trophy:
  

When you recently edited this article you added sfn/harv cite errors. Refs #18, 19, 20 & 22 are throwing cite errors because the Sfn cites of {{Sfn|S&P/ID|2024|page numbers}} are missing the complete citation for "S&P/ID". As soon as the complete citation is added, the article will no longer be in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors.

• 2025 CS Nepela Memorial & 2025 CS Trialeti Trophy:
  

Same with these 2 articles. Sfn cites missing their target complete citations.

If you install User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors.js - complete explanation etc. found at User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors - on your common.js page you'll be able to see sfn/harv cite errors in Preview etc.

The first round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As some of you may have noticed, good article nomination reviews now receive 10 points, an increase from 5 points in the previous year, as per a consensus at WT:CUP. This point increase has been retroactively applied to all good article reviews for which competitors have claimed points in this round. Peer reviews, which continue to be worth 5 points, are now listed in the same section as featured article candidate reviews, rather than with good article reviews. Everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.

Round 1 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 300 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• Bgsu98 (submissions) with 1,467 round points, largely gained from 1 featured article, 5 featured lists, 15 good articles, and 42 FAC and GAN reviews;
• Olliefant (submissions) with 1,246 round points, largely from 4 featured lists, 9 good articles, 2 featured topic articles, 4 did you know articles, and 75 FAC and GAN reviews;
• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, largely from 3 featured articles, 6 good articles, and 5 did you know articles;
• MCE89 (submissions) with 848 round points, largely from 1 featured article, 8 good articles, 1 did you know article, and 32 FAC and GAN reviews; and
• Rollinginhisgrave (submissions) with 838 round points, largely from 1 featured article, 8 good articles, 1 did you know article, and 14 FAC, GAN, and peer reviews.

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 7 featured articles, 16 featured lists, 2 featured-topic articles, 168 good articles, 13 good-topic articles and more than 50 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 14 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 700 reviews. The tournament points table will be updated within the next few days.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hi, I remembered that you closed GA reassessment of BB/Ang3l before. The same nominator (zzz plant) also opened GAR in Songs for You, and most people agreed that there's no more issues to be fixed. However, the nominator is ignoring their nudges and still not closing the GAR page. So I wanna ask you what should I do in this situation; is it possible to close this GA reassessment by myself? Camilasdandelions (✉️) 02:22, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

I was a bit surprised to see the previous GAR closed without any further copyright input besides mine and yours, and I didn't see anything in the instructions indicating the nominator is required to close the discussion- I have not been attempting to ignore nudges; I just think a third opinion (besides the GAR initiator and the main author) can be helpful. As for this particular article, I believe a closer inspection for CLOP is warranted but I do not object if a third party wants to close it. Zzz plant (talk) 02:40, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi. You asked in Finnish Wikipedia about Finnish Figure Skating champions in December 1986 and December 1989. I found them in the Finnish sport year books. Editing that spesific English Wikipedia article seems to be too painful for me, so I include the results and the sources here:

December 13th and 14th 1986 in Tampere:

• Men: 1. Oula Jääskeläinen, 2. Jari Kauppi. No other competitors.
• Women: 1. Tiia-Riikka Pietikäinen, 2. Elise Ahonen, 3. Elina Hänninen.
• Pairs: No competitors.
• Ice Dance: 1. Susanna Peltola / Petri Kokko, 2. Susanna Rahkamo / Kim Jacobsson. No other competitors.

• Source: Siukonen, Markku; Ahola, Matti (1987). Urheilun vuosikirja 8 (in Finnish). Gummerus. p. 264. ISBN 978-951-20-2930-3.

December 9th and 10th 1989 in Tampere:

• Men: 1. Jari Kauppi, 2. Marko Kuukasjärvi. No other competitors.
• Women: 1. Meri Karvosenoja, 2. Mari Niskanen, 3. Merja Heikkinen.
• Pairs: No competitors.
• Ice Dance: 1. Susanna Rahkamo / Petri Kokko, 2. Katri Uski / Juha Sasi. No other competitors.

User:Lax: Thank you so much for your help! I will update that promptly! Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:40, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi again! I made a correction to the results of ice dance 1987 . The yearbook had mixed up the two Susannas, but in Helsingin Sanomat I found the story that makes the obvious pairs clear: Rahkamo and Kokko were together in the season 1986/87 like they were already in the season before, and they won the Finnish Championship in December 1986. Also the story about Susanna Peltola tells that she has only one Finnish championship in ice dance, and Suomen Taitoluisteluliitto lists the champions correctly . Lax (talk) 07:41, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

@Lax Thank you for that! I thought it looked odd, but it's not unheard of for pairs (especially in ice dance) to switch through partners! 😂 Anyway, I had already searched through Helsingin Sanomat and couldn't find results for those two years! Bgsu98 (Talk) 07:50, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

Congratulations, and thank you today for 2025 World Figure Skating Championships, introduced as "the most recent event, and I was lucky enough to attend in person.

Hello. First of all thank you for your hard work on figure skating related content. It is very impressive.

I urge you to check out MOS:GEOLINK where it states

• Paris, France (Paris]], France)

Wamalotpark (talk) 06:51, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

And I urge you to recognize that nowhere is [[Paris, France]] prohibited, since France is not linked. Bgsu98 (Talk) 06:52, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

[[Paris]], France is preferred as it links only under "Paris", there is no "France" in the article's title. Wamalotpark (talk) 06:53, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Any major article uses the [[Paris]], France, style. The only exception I have seen are articles that you work on. It would be preferred to match other high quality articles. Wamalotpark (talk) 06:54, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Not only that, it follows the manual of style more closely, allows readers to understand the links they are clicking easier (cities that are major vs smaller and need state/country disambiguation), and allows for linking of countries that do not exist anymore such as West Germany after say, Berlin, which is allowed. Wamalotpark (talk) 06:57, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

I think we can work together to make these articles better, and more consistent with the manual of style. How bout it? Wamalotpark (talk) 07:05, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

I think you should consider self-reverting this GAR closure - a cursory check of the article history shows that extensive work has been ongoing to rectify the identified issues, including a number of substantive edits in the 24 hours before your closure.

Congratulations, Bgsu98! The list you nominated, Slovak Figure Skating Championships, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best lists on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list. Keep up the great work! Cheers, PresN (talk) via FACBot (talk) 11:25, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

User:PresN: Thank you! I have to say, this was a surprise... much sooner than I'd expected! Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:47, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi there, I have an FAC open right now that could possibly be archived this week due to a lack of reviews. I know you're active on the television side of WP as well as good/featured content so if you have a moment over the next few days, I would appreciate a review. No worries if you don't have the time or aren't interested. Thank you, TheDoctorWho (talk) 19:23, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

User:TheDoctorWho: You know I would be happy to! Bgsu98 (Talk) 20:51, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

User:TheDoctorWho: I have the following up for review as well if you are so inclined: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Figure skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Women's singles/archive1, Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Austrian Figure Skating Championships/archive1, and Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Polish Figure Skating Championships/archive1.

Re the removed message: You did in fact just review a list for this series 😅, I cranked that out and nominated it shortly after I opened the FAC. I will try to get to your featured noms sometime over the next ~three days (the grind never stops grinding). TheDoctorWho (talk) 23:17, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

I've reverted the notifications on Esculenta's talkpage, they're automatic notices but this feels like WP:GRAVEDANCING for someone who isn't even fully blocked. Regarding the noms, I would steer away from conscience-related rationales. While such arguments have been made in many of the llm-related discussions, they were not as far as I remember deciding factors in the resulting closure notes, and it seems likely the community was more easily unified behind the issues with content. CMD (talk) 03:09, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

I certainly have no objection to removing those notices. I don’t think there is a way I could have processed the GARs without them being generated. I only submitted the first 12 even though there are a lot. The community can decide what to do with them, and since I opened the GARs, I won’t be the one to close them (whatever the outcome).
