Even though I have been convinced by the justification you made in the edit, and as such I won't try to revert it, I must point out that the 2nd place round took up nearly half of the whole game, and 2 and a half episodes of the season. I would say that counts as pretty darn prominent.

But then it is true that Mengeringhausen hardly shows up in the show at all, it isn't even namedropped in the video itself. That alone convinced me to accept your edit. But I hope you see where I'm coming from disputing the other part of your argument even though I agree with the conclusion. Cascadiawank (talk) 16:23, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

While it is important (and the length and depth of the prose summary reflects that), it isn't as critical as was previously represented by the photo prominance and caption length. Cerebral726 (talk) 16:34, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Great work on The Anthropocene Reviewed! I thought you might have some interest in joining the Podcasting Wikiproject and contributing to some of the articles in Category:Science podcasts. TipsyElephant (talk) 16:03, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the invite! I'll take a look, see how I can contribute. Cerebral726 (talk) 16:21, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

I see you reverted my edit on Swansea University . I do deem Lando Norris' visit significant especially given this visit was the start of his road to 2025 F1 title.--Stephen C Taylor (talk) 16:26, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Perhaps it is relevant to Lando's article (I even doubt that), but it is clearly not relevant to the history of the university. Feel free to start a discussion, I am going to remove it per WP:STATUSQUO. Cerebral726 (talk) 16:27, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi!

I'd like to know why the screenshot I uploaded of Amy Muller on Abolish Everything! constitutes a copyright violation (and, preferably, why, by contrast, the screenshot of Mike Downie was kosher). I'm not disputing the tagging for deletion itself, I'm more than happy to defer to the better judgement of a more experienced editor such as yourself, but I would like to know how you came to this conclusion and what I did wrong, so that I may avoid making similar mistakes in the future.

Thanks in advance! Cascadiawank (talk) 19:19, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

The relevant policy is here, but going to the two sources, the Downie photo was takne from this video, which states it is "Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)" in the description. The video you took your screenshot from did not have any CC license and is a copyright violation. Cerebral726 (talk) 12:43, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Ah, I see. That makes perfect sense, thank you. Cascadiawank (talk) 12:46, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

On 3 June 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Eagle Creek Park, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that an old gravel pit in Eagle Creek Park in Indiana is now part of an Important Bird Area? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Eagle Creek Park. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Eagle Creek Park), 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 nominate it.

September 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
On 1 September 2026, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin at a particularly important time for NPP. The backlog has now passed 30,000 unreviewed articles, a level that has been described in current NPP discussions as exceptionally high and potentially difficult to overcome through normal reviewing alone. Backlog drives are one of the few measures that have historically produced a noticeable reduction in the backlog, so the participation of as many active patrollers as possible will matter this month. If you can review during September, please make articles your priority. Every article that is reviewed is a meaningful reduction in the backlog. With the queue at its current size, even a relatively small increase in the number of articles each patroller reviews can add up to a substantial difference over the course of the month. This is a hybrid drive, so redirect reviewing is still included. Redirects can be a useful way for newer patrollers to get comfortable with NPP and can help people build up to reviewing articles. However, the main goal of this drive is to tackle the article backlog, and experienced patrollers are particularly encouraged to spend as much of their available reviewing time on articles as they can. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. If you have been thinking about doing more NPP, this is an especially good month to jump in. Whether you can review a few pages or hundreds, every review helps. And if you are already an active patroller, please consider whether you can put in some additional time during September to help bring the backlog back under control. Interested in taking part?

• ToBeFree

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, the good article criteria have been amended to add accessibility requirements.
• Following an RfC, late signatures added to administrator recall petitions after 720 hours from opening are reverted or struck and do not count towards the threshold, even if the petition has not yet been formally closed.
• The post-May 2026 administrator elections RfCs concluded with consensus for election monitors to curate blatantly inappropriate questions after posting, and to remove or merge true duplicates, clearly marking merged questions. Calls for candidates will include advisory guidance that users with less than one year’s experience or 5,000 edits generally lack a realistic chance of success.

Technical news

• Interface administrators no longer need to specify the ResourceLoader option in the definitions for gadgets on MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition as gadgets are always loaded through ResourceLoader. (T298199)
• The list=abusefilters API module now supports formatversion=2 and includes breaking changes to its responses. In particular, the actions property is now a JSON array rather than a string, regardless of the format version. Maintainers of user scripts and other code using this module should check compatibility and update their code as needed. (T435828)

Arbitration
