Thank you today for Leroy Chollet, on his centenary, introduced: "I first read about Leroy Chollet in a local newspaper that mentioned him as an African American basketball player who played in the Whites-only inaugural NBA Finals because he did not tell anybody that he was Black. That sounded a bit off, so I googled him but didn't find much. The Wikipedia article was a stub. As I read about the guy, I expanded his article." - Successfully so, thank you! Enjoy your second TFA day!

expansion to quality

Thank you for quality articles such as Leroy Chollet, Roswell incident, Piri Reis, Flying saucer and more, for the essay How do folks read Wikipedia?, for photos and graphics, for an informative user page with a great lead image, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

@Gerda Arendt Thanks for the kind words and recognition. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 03:34, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! - On Ravel's birthday, we also think of a conductor and five more composers ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:55, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I could have written five stories off the main page, and chose Sofia Gubaidulina. I find the TFA also interesting, and two DYK, and a birthday OTD. How about you? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:25, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're prolific. I think I would not often be wrong if I just assume any composer article on here will have your edits in the history. You're asking what on the main page do I see as interesting or like a good story? If so, it's not exactly like that for me, but thanks all the same, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 02:14, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm prolific, and wrote some articles about composers, but some I don't touch, they are in the firm hands of users who made them FA before I even was here ;) (like Ravel) - I didn't ask about your interests, just gave you mine. - Today, 300 years of Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1! We sang works for (mostly) double choir by Pachelbel, Johann Christoph Bach, Kuhnau/Bach, Gounod and Rheinberger! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:30, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On 6 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Flying saucer, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a National Guard pilot died while pursuing a reported flying saucer in 1948? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Flying saucer. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Flying saucer), 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 suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Senior, I want to make a portal named Tibet, but have a fear it may be deleted or not appropriate in Wikipedia, can you tell me it will be accepted or not in Wikipedia

Thanks for attention 獅眠洞 (talk) 16:13, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@獅眠洞, Portal:Tibet was previously deleted at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Tibet in part for being unmaintained. If do you create the portal, I would not expect to get many folks to step up and help maintain it, which would make it vulnerable to deletion. If you want to personally maintain it, I think it's unlikely to be deleted while you are maintaining it. If you're asking for my personal opinion, it would probably be more worthwhile to work on the Tibet article and any Tibet articles that interest you. Also, you'd probably get a more informed response if you ask at Portal talk:Asia or approached one of the editors who maintain Portal:Asia. Good luck, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 22:08, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please update the page Wikipedia:Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/January 2025 so that I can tally up your total points? Thanks! IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 18:38, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IntentionallyDense, thanks for the reminder. I've updated the page; I only did the one review. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 21:59, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Night you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of ZKevinTheCat -- ZKevinTheCat (talk) 15:43, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article Night you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article needs changes or clarifications to meet the good article criteria. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Night and Talk:Night/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of ZKevinTheCat -- ZKevinTheCat (talk) 17:05, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did you see my request for a relist at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Satoshi Osaki? GNG was not met there, and even the keep vote that came after my request acknowledged that we only had one suitable source and not multiple and was making an IAR case. I think this one remained undetermined, and it was certainly not a keep. I wouldn't have objected to a no consensus close, but I would have much rather seen a relist to see if the matter could have been put beyond doubt. Would you be willing to revisit this please? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:52, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sirfurboy, Hi, I'm on my mobile account, right now. The close is reverted, Rjjiii (ii) (talk) 12:54, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to find someone who feels confident to upload a photo from an old newspaper and I think I've seen you do it before. I want to publish my rewrite and really want to include a photo. Are you able to do that for me? I started to look at the WMC instructions and backed out as it was asking me questions I didn't have a clue what to say. The article is Jotham Johnson and the photo is here [https://www.newspapers.com/article/bryan-college-station-eagle-jotham-johns/171312401/] with all the specifics that you would need. I'm still asking around, so if it gets done before you get to it, I still would appreciate you having looked into it. Thanks, Susan Sgerbic (talk) 20:52, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And if you could pretty please show me how to do it I would be grateful! Sgerbic (talk) 00:36, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case you were interested, I'm about to start my next rewrite and it is this man .... who also (hint hint) does not have an image on WMC, ... but look, what a nice image I just found of him here ... wonder if this can be used [https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1525/aa.1966.68.5.02a00090] Sgerbic (talk) 00:39, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sgerbic Hey, thanks for reaching out. I probably won't get much free time until the weekend. As far as how to do it, do you mean making the image file or uploading it the commons? Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 01:10, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uploading it to commons, I can't figure it out. Sgerbic (talk) 03:11, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sgerbic I just edit conflicted with you. The commons is a nightmare in terms of user interface. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 03:12, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if this was your hang up, but for whatever reason, the upload wizard refused to go forward with the public domain template, so I checked the "I don't know option" and fixed it after the file was up. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 03:16, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When I rule the world, the first thing to go will be whatever WMC is. For something that deals with visuals, it's all text instructions. Just nuts! I upload my own work all the time, but when it isn't my work or its something unusual, my brain goes blank ... blanker than usual that is.Sgerbic (talk) 04:57, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sgerbic hey, I lied, I just uploaded it at File:Jotham Johnson.jpg. As far as the process to get an image file from public domain content:

1. I just do a screenshot (with the Print Screen key),
2. paste that in an image editing program, and
3. crop out extra bits. Pinta and Paint.net both have pretty straightforward "crop to selection" tools so you can just select an area from the screenshot.

For the license, do {{PD-US-expired|country=US}} pre-1930. For 1930 to 1977 search the newspaper (not just the page) for a copyright notice and then do {{PD-US-no notice}}. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 03:12, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! But as for everything after 3. it was just gobbly-gook language. I can do 1, 2, 3 just fine but the rest is just frighting. I'll give these instructions to someone in my group who might be able to explain. But THANK YOU! And Jotham thanks you ... even though he is dead. Sgerbic (talk) 03:22, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Rjjiii,

I see from your User talk page that you have closed deletion discussions before but I only encountered your closures today. I just wanted to encourage you to thoroughly review Wikipedia:Non-admin closure so you have a good idea of which discussions are appropriate for non-admin closures and which ones are better left for an admin to handle. You do not want to take on close calls or your closure might be challenged at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Don't hesitate to come to me or another regular closer if any questions arise for you about relisting or regular closures. Thank you for your help! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:56, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reaching out, @Liz. Do you see one of the recent closures as a close call?

I am shocked by the result of the deletion of Mr Gallastegui's article. It is pretty clear he does not meet the notability criteria for musicians, yet it was kept.

1. Multiple independent publications – ✅ yes

2. Chart success – ❌ no recordings by Mr Gallastegui

3. Record certification – ❌ no recordings by Mr Gallastegui

4. Tour coverage – ❌ no tours by Mr Gallastegui

5. Multiple albums on notable labels – ❌ no recordings by Mr Gallastegui

6. Ensemble or membership – ❌ only amateur-level orchestras listed and workshops

7. Representative of a style or scene – ❌ no

8. Major music awards – ❌ none

9. Competition wins – ❌ none

10. Notable media work – ❌ none

11. National radio/TV rotation – ❌ Music placed in rotation by a major national network.

12. Featured broadcast subject – ❌ no TV appearances.

This entry should not exist. The entries are about minor merits. Not every musician with a mention on a paper deserves an article on Wikipedia. Thank you.Theclassicalmusicwriter (talk) 13:05, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can request other editors to check the closure at Wikipedia:Deletion review. In this case, the other 5 editors !voted to keep the article unanimously, and point one above would support their position. Do you have a mentor (some editors are assigned them) or just an editor that you would trust? If so, I'd suggest reaching out to them, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 19:57, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rjjiii, I have been following the discussion, I agree with your close, but I think it is possible that a detailed Wikipedia:Source assessment might question notability. If Theclassicalmusicwriter did that, would you be prepared to consider reopening the nomination?

Theclassicalmusicwriter, I would advise against Deletion review, as I think that the close was correct based on the responses to the nomination, see WP:DRVPURPOSE. TSventon (talk) 17:32, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TSventon, Thanks for reaching out. Yes, I would be okay with that. I may have some days in the next week or so where I am not available, so feel free to reopen on my behalf if I don't respond. If they plan to stick around, I think it would be a better idea to renominate it for deletion in 6 months or so. That would give everyone time to move on from the interpersonal conflicts around the recent nomination and so then the discussion could focus more on the subject of the article. Right now, I imagine there is a good chance that few people would participate even after adding the source assessment table, but a much higher chance on a renomination that begins with source assessment rather than the dispute.

Otherwise, you may be able to find a version of Wikipedia in your language at the Wikipedia home page and write the article there.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Minguela and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hello, Rjjiii! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:47, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Headbomb: I seem to have accidentally wasted your time here. Typically, I copy text directly between Wikipedias, even leaving broken templates, so that the attribution is as clear as possible. For example, I am working on Draft:Qasr Bshir now, and previously started Kitab-ı Bahriye in a similar way.

Some of the documentation about draft space talks about how editors never stumble onto other editors' drafts, so I was surprised to see Draft:Minguela reviewed and edited when it is (as you noticed) not at all ready.

In the future, is there a template, like {{Under construction}}, that you would recommend adding to a draft when it is still in rough shape? I know there is always a backlog at NPP, and I don't want to pile onto it by accident. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 15:04, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that I've templated you. I was just doing maintenance in Category:CS1 errors: invisible characters and stumbled upon the untranslated draft, which is 99%+ of the time some confused noob submission. I didn't realize it was an intentional work-in-progress. I suppose the best way to mark it would be with a {{Being translated}}. {{Under construction}} also works I suppose, though it's much less clear, since all drafts are presumed in constructions. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:27, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks, I didn't know {{Being translated}} existed. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 15:32, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thanks for your recent participation in AfD. I would like to hear your thoughts about the process. Please check this survey if you are willing to respond.Czarking0 (talk) 02:21, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Czarking0, good luck on the survey but I will likely pass. I don't want to answer in a way that comes across like I am calling out another editor or that discourages anybody from participation in controversial AfDs. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 02:34, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! As a follow up is your pass related to this specific article or you would not like to answer these types of questions for any AFD? Czarking0 (talk) 02:38, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's both. The DePaço article is a tense subject, and survey questions ask about specific other editors. It can be hard to get nuance across in a text-only survey. As an example, Anomie (who I'll ping since I'm talking about them) directly disagreed with me. So that would be my factual and objective answer to question 7. However, it could be easy to misread that answer as some kind of negative criticism. In fact, my view is that I appreciate everyone participating in a difficult discussion, and I appreciated Anomie taking the time to read and respond thoughtfully.

		By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this special, very exclusive award created just for we few, we happy few, this band of brothers, who have shed sweat, tears and probably blood, in order to be able to proudly claim "I too have taken an article to Featured status".

Two, right? - We spoke about a 300-years-old Bach Cantata in March, - today's main page offers one 299 years old ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:02, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

300 years ago: another one, Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild, BWV 79, on the occasion for which it was written, Reformation Day - it's not only Halloween today. You are invited to the peer reviews for another candidate. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:47, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On 28 October 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Qasr Bshir, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that archaeologists studying Qasr Bshir used smoke signals, mirrors, and torches to test how messages traveled between Roman frontier forts? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Qasr Bshir. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Qasr Bshir), 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.

Congratulations Rjjiii! You deserve it. Fade258 (talk) 01:46, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! Make the mop proud! CREditzWiki (yap) | (things i apparently did) 02:13, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I really appreciate all the kind words! And thanks for the Monobook tip; I now have new buttons in all the menus. The shirt's not that bad; I once received a Freddy Krueger shirt (with the red and green stripes) as a Christmas gift. Also, I have a discord account for Wikipedia but never use it; I'll go ahead and connect that for when I run into questions. I'll read through the manual too.

Thanks again to everybody, and especially to both of my nominators, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 04:12, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You did it! You mustered up the courage and took the leap, and you are now the English Wikipedia's newest administrator. This bronze chariot fitting was once part of a great machine that represented the most advanced technology of its time, just as we are all small but important parts of the machinery of this encyclopedia, the greatest repository of knowledge humanity has ever created. If you ever feel overwhelmed, remember that we are all here, ready to answer your questions, fix your mistakes, and stand by your side when the going gets tough. And, finally, you should be immensely proud of what you have accomplished, both this week and over your illustrious Wikipedia career. We win theeeeese!!! Toadspike [Talk] 21:41, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! And it looks like I will get to hand this off soon, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 04:13, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't been watching Rfa lately, so didn't even know you were up for it, or I would've put in a good word, but looks like you didn't need my help, so congrats! Mathglot (talk) 08:32, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As Toadspike proved a few weeks ago, the wielder of the baton gets a super-power for an unspecified while: you can see the entire pedia afresh. Like suddenly having blinders removed. You are going to see things the rest of us take for granted. Your fresh eyes bring a fresh and innocent insight which you should feel free to share when your spidey senses are triggered. Don't stop being highly motivated and competent, but you're mopping because we trust your judgement. Let that wash over you for a time. BusterD (talk) 19:14, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Don't wish any kind of superpower on me right now. I've been having a string of bad luck and am sure to get one of those cursed ones. Like, where you get super strength but it's only because you have gorilla arms and then you can never find any clothing or jewelry that fits. Or where you can shoot laser beams out of your throat but they burn up all of your teeth.

I appreciate the thoughts though and the faith you have in me. I'll take the advice into consideration minus superpowers. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 20:41, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help in elevating and promoting Batman Returns to Featured Article status. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 22:52, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the proofreading. I've revised the tone of the section you mentioned. Could you please let me know if the overall tone is now all right? Thanks a lot. EleniXDD※Talk 11:25, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello EleniXDD, when I was moving a prep set to queue for the main page, I bumped this article down to set 4 which is still on track to reach the main page around November 10. I won't have time to do an in-depth review on the article, but if you need more feedback, you might ask at WP:NPOVN or WT:DYK. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 20:31, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for telling me where to find more feedback EleniXDD※Talk 02:00, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Rjjiii. I want to thank you for your message at the Teahouse. It is hard for me to understand many things and that is why I need help. I will read the link you sent me and I was thinking if you can send me some more links. I think we can work together to make me a better user.
