Warning: There is an on-going scam targeting people who would like Wikipedia to have an article about them. See this scam warning for detailed information. No ethical Wikipedia editor or administrator will offer to create an article for money. If you've been scammed please send details to paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org to help others who could be future victims of this scam. |
 | This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.I've got things going on in my life right now that mean I'm going to be focussing on the fun, stress-reducing aspects of this hobby for a while and actively trying to avoid anything complicated, depressing, demanding, or stressful. If you ping me or leave a message and I don't respond, and then you see I've in the meantime created an entire article about an Asian chili sauce, that's why. |
| Admins: If you think an admin action I've taken recently is wrong or unhelpful, or one I've taken in the past is no longer useful, go ahead and undo or change it without feeling like you have to talk to me first. An explanation in the edit summary is always helpful, but I trust your judgement. |
Gourmand Cookbook Award
 | This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
I came across this award reviewing a draft and it appears to be a notable award mentioned in several articles. Thought you might be interested in creating an article. See also es:Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. S0091 (talk) 16:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hm, it has an entry in 8 language wikis. Definitely seems worth investigating, thanks! Valereee (talk) 17:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Re: El Nino
Yes, I think it makes sense to make a draft for the likely upcoming El Nino. There might only be predictions, but that will be useful for a future article. Do you know where to find ENSO forecasts, and how to set up a draft article? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:14, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- Hey, Hurricanehink! I've drafted hundreds of articles, but not in weather. If you can point me in the right directions, much appreciated! Valereee (talk) 22:23, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- And I'm bumbling around w/re finding ENSO forecasts, pointers also appreciated. :D Valereee (talk) 22:23, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- For background, maybe mention that 2026 started with neutral ENSO conditions, and what that means. @Jason Rees: anything you wanna add? Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 23:35, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- I think we need to take a couple of steps back and figure out how we present ENSO (ie: El Niño & La Niña) content best. Personally, I am not sure we need specific articles about ENSO events, since the impacts of the event manifest themselves through other means, such as droughts in Australia/Indonesia and increased/decreased tropical cyclone activity in various parts of the world. Jason Rees (talk) 22:23, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
- That's a great point. Valereee, what about adding the info about ENSO conditions/forecasts for the year to Weather of 2026? Check out Weather_of_2021#Global_conditions. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:29, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Hey there, I hoped you got my message. I saw you published 2026–2027 El Niño event, but I redirected it to Weather of 2026, where the same information can be found. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:53, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- I'd figured that was fine until we started filling out the rest of it, but it can wait until we do! Valereee (talk) 18:54, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for putting the info in the Weather of 2026 article though, that's a good start! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:34, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Updates for editors
- The Reader Experience team is conducting an experiment to show the reading lists feature, which is still in development, to logged-out mobile readers to test whether it encourages account creation at a higher rate compared to the watchstar button. The experiment was launched on May 18th on German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu wikis, and it will run for a month.
- The Wikimedia Apps team released Phase 1 of the redesigned Home Feed to the Android Beta app. The new Home Feed includes a refreshed "Community" tab and a personalized "For You" tab featuring daily updated reading recommendations. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve content discovery and create more engaging learning experiences in the Wikipedia apps.
View all 18 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where images could fail to load for some suggested edits on Special:Homepage, leaving the thumbnail stuck in a loading state, has now been fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
