I opened a peer review for Valence populism while you were away. I received feedback from two users, but knowing that you're a polsci and have experience in writing similar articles, I would appreciate if you could leave some helpful comments on the article's talk page. I intend to nominate it for FAC. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 14:12, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

@Thebiguglyalien: Did you accidentally skip over this? If you do not plan on leaving some feedback, let me know so that I could nominate the article for FAC. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm probably not going to get to this. I don't really use the peer review process. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 17:11, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

We have worked together many times, and I've seen you in a bunch of places. How are you doing? Wikieditor662 (talk) 02:16, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I'm doing pretty well, on Wikipedia and in general. Took a much needed break from Wikipedia a couple months ago and now I'm working on a bunch of projects. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 02:40, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Glad to hear you've enjoyed your break! What projects are you working on? And do you think I could invite you to another project? Wikieditor662 (talk) 02:46, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

This year I've been trying to fix the merger system and get some of the old merge proposals addressed, clean up the backlog at Category:Wikipedia neutral point of view disputes, get in good article reviews so I'm reviewing more than I'm nominating, and write the articles about the calendar years of the 2000s (I've finished with 2001, 2002, and 2003). As well as whatever other articles that catch my eye to work on. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 02:53, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Well, best of luck with that. Do you think you can take on a little more? Wikieditor662 (talk) 03:09, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

What are we working on? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 03:21, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Well, there's a project I've been building, would you like to help out? Wikieditor662 (talk) 03:42, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

My impression of this is that it's essentially restating already existing policies. It would need to bring something to the table that isn't already provided by any of the existing discussion areas. You might also want to look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Democracy if you haven't already, which covered some ground adjacent to this but seems inactive now. I'm not really a WikiProject person so others might have more insight. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 05:09, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

If I understood correctly, in my conversation with whatamidoing I was informed that uniqueness is not a requirement to start a project, as long as enough members are on board. Still, I've been looking into this, and am actively working on making sure this stays distinctive. Wikieditor662 (talk) 05:18, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

So, would you like to join? You don't have to do much if you don't want to, even just signing up would help us out a lot. Wikieditor662 (talk) 19:41, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

I'm not convinced that the project is going to add to anything that isn't already being attempted elsewhere. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 20:08, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

It's not just about what the plan is but who is doing such... change becomes far more effective with multiple people trying to reach the same goals. We could improve Wikipedia far more if we work together rather than alone. Wikieditor662 (talk) 21:54, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.

Hey, happy new year! I hope you are doing well and having a lovely week. I am a bit confused as to why you closed this as it's only been 5 days since your review and you're meant to give reviewers 7 days. Also, if you go to the article history, I had said in an edit that I was making GA changes. I just had planned to finish it in early January as I was occupied with other tasks. I thought I had commented on the review but J realised I must have forgotten to press submit, but a curtsey ping would have been nice. I am just disappointed as there are meant to be 7 days given to be addressed but only 5 were given with no warning and I had really hoped to finish my changes today/tomorrow and get it to GA, so I am really upset. Is there any chance you could please reopen it for another day or two in good faith to allow me to finish my changes please? DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 06:51, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

This wasn't a hold, it was a quickfail. The article was plagiarized and needed a full rewrite. I left it open in case you wanted to rewrite the article immediately and not have to go through renomination, but I see this only had the effect of stringing it along. In the future I'll try to avoid keeping reviews in a limbo state like this and either put a full review on hold or quickfail immediately. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 15:58, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Just a note: having a lot of quotes is not plagiarism. You are making it seem like I copy and pasted it from another source when in reality this isn't the case. I understand your reasoning but your words hurt as it makes it seem like I just stole someone else's work when the isn't the case, I spent days writing the article. I wish you could have given me a chance to finish my changes. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 17:53, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, my grandpa is the former Chamberlain of the presidency of Egypt during both the presidency of Sadat and Mubarak. He has gotten 25 distinctions from all over the world and was very well known in Egypt, he would be away from the press because that’s how he was.

Mostafa Ahmed Nour, Wikipedia articles are summaries of what's written in secondary sources, such as the press. To make an article about someone, you'll have to find sources like that.

Hey! I am a editor who is currently working on the Quicksilver article (Quicksilver (Marvel Comics)), and I was wondering if you could give me a few pointers as to what I should change. I was actually recommended here from User:Pokelego999 and I've been trying to mimic your Iron Man article. I'm also working on the Moon Knight article however since that is a much larger task I want to get this one done with. I've also been debating potentially merging Peter Maximoff (article) with Quicksilver as was done with the Peacemaker article but I'm unsnure ModlordD (talk) 02:09, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

In my opinion, publication history is the most important section of a comic book character's article, since it details how the character was used and lets the article describe the character's history in an out-of-universe perspective, instead of having their history be described as a character biography. So I start by finding sources that detail how Marvel used the character. I've found the most luck with a mix of overview articles, books, and Marvel handbooks. Other sections like themes and supporting characters will often develop naturally while collecting info from these sources. Then I'll find individual reviews to cover other major series or one-shots so there are no big gaps in the history. Iron Man#References and Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)#References are probably the ones where I went the most in-depth, if you want to see examples of what kind of sources I've used. As far as a merge, I'd say it's not top priority but will probably need to be done eventually. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 02:36, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your information! I have started working heavily on the publication history for Quicksilver, you can see it now. BTW, since I added the template for the construction thing, I thought maybe now would be a good time to merge the Pietro Maximoff article into the main one. I know you said it isn't top priority but seeing as the template is there and the other article presumably won't be getting anymore major edits since the character will likely not be returning in any other Marvel project, I think its fair ModlordD (talk) 22:59, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

It's looking really good already! If needed, I can help provide relevant excerpts from some sources if you're unable to access them. WP:IAACCESS can get you a lot through the Internet Archive, as can the Wikipedia Library if you haven't accessed that yet. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:03, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! I've tried finding official Marvel handbooks for some info but I can't find any I can access ModlordD (talk) 02:53, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Internet Archive has a few, and the Marvel Wiki has lists of every handbook the character is mentioned in, but most of them cover more or less the same details. Marvel Encyclopedia (2019) is unrestricted. There are a few other handbooks hosted on Internet Archive (, ), but you'll need to follow the instructions at WP:IAACCESS to access their full contents. I suggest doing a full text search on the handbooks or checking their indexes, as other characters' entries sometimes mention the character in other contexts. While searching, I also happened to find he's mentioned several times in The Avengers and philosophy. Wizard magazine is free on IA and has several hits for Quicksilver. Magazines like this require a little more work to find anything useful, but they might be worth flipping through if you use everything else and still feel more is needed. TwoMorrows publications are valuable bit more difficult to find. I'm aware of two that have a few paragraphs about Quicksilver; I've sent you the relevant text by email since we can't paste large passages of copyrighted sources here (note that if you reply to the email it will send from the email address linked to your account, so don't reply if you don't want anyone knowing your email address or what name is attached to it).

nearing finishing up any other possible edit I could add to this page. What should I do about the merger with Peter Maximoff? No one has seemed to respond to the discussion ModlordD (talk) 01:21, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Merge proposals don't get nearly as much attention as they need (you can view open ones at Wikipedia:Proposed article mergers if you ever want to weigh in).

Sketpick, it looks like Aerodrome isn't considered reliable for Wikipedia's purposes. When you're unsure about whether a source is reliable, the reliable sources noticeboard is a good place to ask. I checked the noticeboard's archives and there was a discussion a few years ago that determined it's unreliable because it's self-published without any sort of editorial oversight.

The Internet Archive has a library that allows you to borrow a lot of books (but for most of them you first have to follow the process at WP:IAACCESS). Once you have 500 edits, you'll have access to the Wikipedia Library which has huge collections of resources. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:15, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

I'll refer it

All the same, any reliable websites for this topic? Sketpick (talk) 09:20, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi. I had a company create a page for my friend musician Roland Vazquez. I then edited it a lot and added to it. Now I want to create a page for each of his recordings so we can link to them from his page. I can code the pages ok, but I need help being able to make a new page myself. If not that, then perhaps someone can create the pages for me using the coding I supply? (I hope this all makes sense.) --Phil --Philkd (talk) 19:48, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Philkd, make sure you read all of Wikipedia's conflict of interest rules (including that if you're getting any compensation for this, you have to declare it on your user page). Wikipedia volunteers are very skeptical of people who might be using Wikipedia for promotional purposes. Also be very wary of companies offering to create Wikipedia articles. Most of them are scams, and they have no power to keep the article if it doesn't meet Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines—articles only qualify to be on Wikipedia if there's significant independent coverage of the subject in reliable sources (like news coverage or in-depth reviews that the subject had no involvement with). To create a page, you can use the article wizard tool, which will let you submit it for approval. But recordings are even harder to include, as every individual recording will need significant independent coverage on its own. Also be aware that any content that doesn't correspond to a citation has a high probability of being removed. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:11, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

I have added to my user page. I am not getting paid. The recordings pages will be bare-boned, without editorial comment. Thanks for your response. Philkd (talk) 20:23, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi! Small question. If I accidentally hit enter and submit an edit while still writing out the summary, I can just undo it and then resubmit it with the proper summary, right? Asking because I just did that. Or is there a warrant out for my arrest? Thank you in advance. --Mmyronov (talk) 19:57, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Mmyronov, you're good, you didn't even get put on any government lists! In the future, you can use a dummy edit if you need to put a new edit summary in the history. Alternatively, you can make a post on the article's talk page if a more in-depth explanation of your edits would be helpful and you have any concerns about how to best implement them.

Thanks! Cheers. Mmyronov (talk) 05:43, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi there I haven't intended to pick fights with anyone!Take a look at my edits. I wrote a groveling apology to User:Drmies for superfan-gate on the Safechuck v. MJJ Productions and asked them to give me article feedback on tlak page. INow did I maybe say "you impartial editors" yesterday? Yes. Is that a little sassy if you know i dont think some are impartial? Perhaps. But that isnt "picking a fight"! I didn't call anyone a superfan. Have dropped the S word from my vocabulary both "superfan" and "single-issue editor." If I do get banned, I implore you if you have energy, time and inclination to read over the substance here at some point. Bhdshoes2 (talk) 23:09, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

I've replied at the corresponding AN discussion. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:36, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, i have submitted a draft for a biography article. How and where do I disclose my connection/relation to the subject? --Sravan (talk) 08:07, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

Sravan, the page Wikipedia:Conflict of interest has all of the details. The most important thing is that if you're in any way getting paid or otherwise compensated by the subject, then it needs to be mentioned somewhere at the page User:Sravan. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 18:04, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

	Thank you for all of your hard work on closing proposed merger discussions and moving them on to the next step! I got burnt out from the process and the never ending cycle, it is surely no small feat to keep up with the maintenance. ~ oklopfer (💬) 01:09, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! I rather enjoy tackling the backlog, though I admit a lot of it is just pinging the proposer. Hopefully we'll have it to the point where there are rarely any more than a month old. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:25, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
