I left a message for you at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 06:31, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

You're Welcome! Any thing you would like to add? Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 17:14, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, you're very kind :) this actually came about at an appropriate (?) time since I was feeling a bit down since I've been harassed off-wiki due to my edits. Anyway, just pointing out that I'm actually female :P it's fine though lol jolielover♥talk 17:27, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I saw your thread about this and wanted to express my support as well! I obviously can't say I completely understand how you feel, but I've found myself in a similar situation in the past where some off wiki people tried to bait random folks as "not your personal army" against my edits. Solaire the knight (talk) 23:46, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you :) sorry to hear that, hope you're fine now jolielover♥talk 03:42, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi! Not to bombard your talk page with comments like this but I also saw your thread and I want you to know that you have a ton of us behind you. I don't know where some people get the notion that their "righteous fury" is a free pass to harass others and brigade articles, but they certainly aren't gonna win.

Arbitration

• Due to the result of a recent motion, a rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may impose an expanded topic ban on Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs, if an editor's Arab-Israeli conflict topic ban is determined to be insufficient to prevent disruption. At least one diff per area expanded into should be cited.

This discussion has been disrupted by block evasion, ban evasion, or sockpuppetry from the following user: ~2026-10855-47 (talk · contribs · block log · spi) Their comments should be excluded from assessments of consensus.

Hi there! I've seen your deletion nominations on several fictional characters which reminded me of pages I've come across recently. This one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Du-sik and this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Ji-pyeong. At first it gave the impression of a well written page but as I read through it, it just gave excessive amount of intricate detail that are not encyclopedic and better off in fanwikis. They are also both created by one user who also exclusively contributed to the page. I think they also fail WP:GNG and WP:NCHARACTER which you cited in your deletion nominations. They just look like fan pages to me and better merged to the actor's page or the pages of the series/film they appear in. Hope you can look at it. Thank you. ~2026-10855-47 (talk) 05:01, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi there! Thanks for letting me know, but I don't think I'm capable of evaluating the notability of those articles. I do not know Korean and am not very familiar with Korean sources and culture; I would definitely struggle with a WP:BEFORE check. The characters I nominated for deletion are from an English show I am more familiar with, and can more easily do a WP:BEFORE check for. If you consider the articles as failing WP:GNG and WP:NCHARACTER you can boldly start deletion discussions yourself, or if you want more editors inputs, leave this message on the talk pages of relevant Wikiprojects, like WP:Wikiproject Korea. Thank you! jolielover♥talk 05:58, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, Jolielover, and thanks for volunteering at the Teahouse. I noticed this statement in your reply to a user question about citing a book that does not appear online, here:

Yes, it's absolutely fine. You have to use the {{Cite book}} template...

Colin already replied at the Teahouse about this, but I just wanted to mention it here as well. The first sentence is correct; the second one is not. You do not have to use any template when fulfilling the WP:Verifiability requirements for inline citations. Any format is okay, including plain text. Templates may be advisable, for a number of reasons, but are never required. WP:TEMPLATEREFS says: "The use of citation templates is neither encouraged nor discouraged". Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 11:16, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

On 23 February 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Heat Waves (fan fiction), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that tribute videos, fan art, and memes have been made about a gay fan fiction about Minecraft YouTubers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Heat Waves (fan fiction). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Heat Waves (fan fiction)), 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.

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!

• The May 2026 administrator elections are set to proceed.
• We plan to use the following schedule:
  • April 29–May 5: Candidate sign-up
  • May 8–May 12: Discussion phase
  • May 13–May 19: SecurePoll voting phase
• If you have any questions, concerns, or thoughts before we get started, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:04, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Candidates.

Here is the schedule:

• April 29 – May 5: Call for candidates
• May 8–12: Discussion phase
• May 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

• The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
• Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for admin elections candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
• The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
• The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
• Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

The second round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 28 April. As a reminder for contestants who just joined or are unaware of recent changes to our round-points system, good article nomination reviews now receive 10 points, an increase from 5 points in the previous year, as per a consensus at WT:CUP. 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 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.

Round 2 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points; nine scored over 500; and fourteen scored over 300. The top seven contestants had at least one featured article (two of them with two apiece). The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• MCE89 (submissions) with 1,333 points, mainly from good and featured articles about Australian people and geography
• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,169 points, mainly from good and featured articles related to shipping ethics controversy in fanfiction, waterways, and Gu Yanwu
• Bgsu98 (submissions) with 1,149 points, mainly from good articles, featured articles, and featured lists about figure skating, along with many article reviews and two good topics
• Olliefant (submissions) with 830 points, mainly from good and featured articles about television shows, episodes and media, along with nearly four dozen good and featured article reviews
• Gommeh (submissions) with 827 points, mainly from good and featured articles related to Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 12 featured articles, 13 featured lists, 2 featured-topic articles, 106 good articles, 22 good-topic articles and more than 40 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 3 In the News articles, and they have conducted over 200 reviews. The tournament points table has been updated.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. 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.

However, they may be heard by the Committee if COIVRTers disagree on the interpretation of the evidence or believe ArbCom would be better suited to hear the appeal. Administrators are also advised that loosening or lifting such blocks without the consent of someone with access to the queue or ArbCom can be grounds for desysopping.
• Per a recent motion, restrictions issued directly by the Committee may now be enforced with blocks which work exactly like contentious topic blocks.
• The arbitration case Maghreb has been closed.
