Talia Mae Bettcher Draft

edit

Hi Myles, my name is Daniel (he/him). I'll be working on the Talia Mae Bettcher draft you submitted. Thank you for your contributions, I hope that I can help to establish notability and add reliable secondary sources. Full disclosure, I am working on behalf of Dr. Bettcher as a grad student and Trans Studies Fellow at CSULA. This is my first time working on an article so please feel free to leave me any feedback and I apologize in advance if I make any mistakes! TS Philosopher Daniel (talk) 00:08, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Daniel. I moved the article on Talia Mae Bettcher, written by User:OnyekeEjike to a draft because it entirely relied on works that Bettcher was directly connected to. I appreciate you working on this article. If you can find references that establish notability under any of the criteria for Wikipedia:Notability (academics) you should do well. -- Reconrabbit (talk) 01:50, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Question from U1ajl5xge2 (21:42, 26 June 2026)

edit

Hey! I would really appreciate some help looking over and critiquing the article Hopton, Derbyshire, if possible. I think I've edited and made it the best it could be, but I'm worried that since I've spent so much time on it, I might be blind to any flaws. I'm specifically worried on if it's too long, or if the detail in it isn't relevant to the village itself. --U1ajl5xge2 (talk) 21:42, 26 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello @U1ajl5xge2, I think you've put together an excellent article here. I don't see any part as being "overly detailed", but geographic regions aren't my specialty - I've only written a brief bit on Lake Oscawana, which has a much shorter history of occupation and little to review historically. Article length is broadly limited by WP:PAGESIZE, which stipulates that an article should be trimmed or split once it reaches about 10,000 words. Hopton, Derbyshire is well below that limit, as it barely reaches 3,000 words. If you are looking for a more detailed review, you are welcome to submit the article to Good Article nominations, though I'm sure the first thing they would note upon seeing it is that a couple sentences that are otherwise obvious could use footnotes (Hopton was a part of the East Midlands constituency, Bus routes that serve Hopton include the 110 and 111 to Ashbourne and Matlock, The school uses the Gell family crest as its logo...). -- Reconrabbit (talk) 22:10, 27 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

WikiCup 2026 July newsletter

edit

The third round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 28 June at 23:59 (UTC). As a reminder, good article nomination reviews now receive 10 points, while 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 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.

Round 3 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points; eight scored over 500; and thirteen scored over 300. The top three 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 1567 points, mainly from good and featured articles about Australian people and geography, as well as some article reviews
  • Ohio Bgsu98 (submissions) with 1547 points, mainly from good articles, featured articles, featured lists, and a good topic about figure skating, along with 20 article reviews
  • Reconrabbit (submissions) with 1004 points, mainly from a high-multiplier featured article on European rabbit and several good articles, DYKs, and reviews
  • A.Cython (submissions) with 1004 points, mainly from good articles about warfare, along with 22 article reviews
  • Generalissima (submissions) with 859 points, mainly from good and featured articles about rivers and East Asian topics

The full scores for round 3 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 12 featured articles, 12 featured lists, 7 featured-topic articles, 117 good articles, 74 good-topic articles and more than 30 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 13 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 180 reviews. The tournament points table has been updated.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed in Round 4. 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!

Re: A warning/threat of Wikipedia action

edit

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question, and your feedback is duly noted. I asked for an admin because (the threat of) admin power was being invoked.

I have a follow-up question. My understanding of WP:ARBINFO is that it's a last resort in the dispute process. Without going into too much background, Petextrodon said they would take things to arbitration even though they haven't used my talk page or WP:ANI for any issues with my conduct. I want to clarify: they can skip steps in the process and go straight to arbitration? SinhalaLion (talk) 17:01, 6 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

You are correct that arbitration is the last resort in dispute resolution.
They have discussed their problems with your editing at the talk page of the article in question. If you are aware that you are in a contentious topic area and make edits that go against consensus, then a case may be made at WP:AE. Here, it is much more structured than WP:ANI, and restrictions are placed on editors if it is necessary based on editing behaviour. A full arbitration case is not needed. At this page in particular, it is not as clear what the restrictions are besides WP:ECR (doesn't apply to you or the person who disputes your edits, since you are both extended-confirmed), so they would have to prove you are making edits that go against consensus to have action taken. Same goes for you, against them.
At this point it seems premature for anyone to go to noticeboards unless they have more proof than I am aware of. See how all the sections at WP:AE have a lot of links to diffs with information on how they violate existing restrictions? -- Reconrabbit (talk) 17:38, 6 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Peter Orszag

edit

Hi Reconrabbit, thanks again for your help a few months back on Peter R. Orszag's article. My recent request; Talk:Peter R. Orszag#Suggested additions was declined by a different editor. I'd appreciate a second review here — if you think the section is appropriate, it would be great if you could create it. Alternatively, I'm happy to draft a shorter version. I look forward to your thoughts either way. Thanks! Fvfnyc (talk) 01:40, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

I have to agree with Spintendo here. Orszag's membership of any one of these organizations as an advisor or trustee would be undue detail to include in this article, as there is no indication that any of these positions are on their own notable besides 'advisor to the National Academy of Medicine'. If there were articles detailing his involvement with, say, the Carnegie Endowment, then perhaps it would be worth including, but just having his name on a list of committee members is not particularly useful for a reader (what does it mean that he's a trustee or advisor? what did he advise or endow to this organization that got him on this board?). -- Reconrabbit (talk) 13:42, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Question from RaidenVolt (00:02, 16 July 2026)

edit

Hi! Noticed that some articles include references but without specific page numbers. Some of them don't even have a link where you can verify the source. Another thing is that some references don't really confirm the the statements or claims made. What could we do in this case. I don't want to get into an editing war; I just want to point out a poorly sourced or edited article and, if possible, provide accurate references, citations, etc. --RaidenVolt (talk) 00:02, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello @RaidenVolt! It's good that you are looking out for this. A first step to take, if you want to encourage editors to fix an identified problem, is to add maintenance templates to an article in-line where appropriate. In the first case, you can use {{Page number needed}}. In the second case, try {{Full citation needed}} In the third case, the best to use is {{Failed verification}}. Of course, if the information is particularly problematic, you can remove the text entirely and describe your reasoning for why it should be removed (or replaced with better-referenced material) in the edit summary. -- Reconrabbit (talk) 12:08, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Neglected (film)

edit

Hi Reconrabbit, I notice that you removed the LLMPROD on this article. 40% of the remaining text is still the problem editor's (checked with mw:Who Wrote That? and I'm wondering how confident you are that all claims have been checked against sources. In my painful experience with this particular case (see WP:AINB § User:Global Donald) there are a lot of subtle sourcing errors--the sources exist but don't say what they're claimed to say.

If you're confident, let me know and I can mark it as resolved. M kuhner (talk) 06:01, 20 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I'm confident that this article does not have text-source integrity issues. The announcement date matches up, and the premise is consistent between the article and Deadline's report. Financing information is accurate per https://www.joblo.com/the-neglected/ and the early script-writing info matches Toronto Film School's blog. Same source confirms it was shot in December 2024 at Clinton, MI. All of the Release information is accurate as well. -- Reconrabbit (talk) 12:01, 20 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
