My hero
editJust wanted to say thank you for creating the Moo Deng page. You are doing God's work <3 Rojo Rosa (talk) 08:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you :) Di (they-them) (talk) 12:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Howdy! Based on your work on Frutiger Aero I thought you might be interested in Health Goth. After creating a stub for it, I saw that there was a previously existing article that was deleted years ago for supposed notability concerns. I've added content from that article. I will likely add some more but it needs a bit of editing and link fixing- some of the cites are now dead links. There also appears to be some more recent write-ups that will be useful for expansion. I'm going to try to get it all done in the next 24 - 48 hours so it can be nominated for DYK, specifically to run on Halloween. I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment so even the lightest help would be wonderful. All the best, Thriley (talk) 20:30, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Thriley: This looks interesting, I'll be happy to help how I can! Di (they-them) (talk) 20:33, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Wasn't sure this would be ok for DYK as it was mostly old material. Nominated another article for Halloween instead. Thriley (talk) 20:28, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

DCWC closing update
editThe 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!
In addition to his spot in the top three, BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.
The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...
We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.
If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page or ask one of the coordinators: Ixtal (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

Apologies for the POV tag I added to the Thulasendrapuram article. I was doing my regular random article checks, and my initial thoughts after a quick skim read were "this is an article about an Indian village, so why is there a disproportionate amount dedicated to Kamala Harris?" My natural reaction to seeing content with political ties is to analyse it from a politics perspective, which is why I originally added the NPOV tag. After seeing your revert and giving the article another read, I realised the tag wasn't actually necessary.
It simply seemed biased to me by merit of politics, but being the hometown of a presidential candidate is as good a reason as any to be considered notable/significant, and you did a good job of keeping actual politics out of the article itself. Sirocco745 (talk) 03:11, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Out of the Blue SLC.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Out of the Blue SLC.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука13 15:07, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
