Draft for Panasonic Camera

edit

Hi Vacant0, I saw that you are in WP:Photography and have a lot of experience here on Wikipedia. I am new to the platform, and I was hoping you would be willing to help me with a draft for Panasonic at User:LRGino/Panasonic Lumix S1II draft. I think the draft covers all the relevant facts and is in line with the articles for similar cameras. However, because I have a conflict of interest, I understand that I should get additional input or that a neutral editor should move the draft to main space. I'd appreciate you reviewing and cleaning up where you see fit. Thanks for your time. PanaTony (talk) 09:35, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

The draft looks okay to me, though I'd focus on adding a reception section too. I bet that there are some camera reviews out there. Feel free to ping me once you do this and I'll move the article to mainspace. Vacant0 (talk contribs) 13:21, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks so much for the advice. I added a "Reception" section. If it looks good now, I really appreciate you moving it to mainspace. Best PanaTony (talk) 10:49, 11 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your work! I've moved the article to mainspace. Cheers, Vacant0 (talk contribs) 11:22, 13 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi Vacant0. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and your time. I've worked on a number of other Panasonic cameras that don't have an article yet, incorporating all of the feedback that you've given to me into those articles. If you could take a look, I would be grateful. I look forward to feedback and to, hopefully, getting these into mainspace as well.

Good job, Tony. I'll take a look at these articles next week as I'm going to be busy for the rest of this week. Vacant0 (talk contribs) 10:14, 14 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi Vacant0, I hope things have calmed down for you. If you have any questions or suggestions for me about any of the other drafts, let me know. I really appreciate your time on this. Best, PanaTony (talk) 09:33, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
@PanaTony: I've moved all of the drafts to the mainspace. Good job. Vacant0 (talk contribs) 11:12, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Vacant0! There are three more cameras that I noticed don't have articles. I am planning to work on them next, and I hope you won't mind if I send them your way when I am done. I've really appreciated your expertise and support for a new editor. PanaTony (talk) 11:05, 28 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi Vacant0! I hope you are doing well. These are the last of the articles I've been working on. I would really appreciate your feedback and help getting these into mainspace.

Hi Tony. I did not forget about this. I'll take a look at this soon. Vacant0 (talk contribs) 13:59, 11 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
I finally got a good photo of the LUMIX S1IIE, and I added it to my draft! I'm sure you've been very busy, but I wanted to give you the update in case you had a chance to check out those last three drafts. My thanks, PanaTony (talk) 09:18, 29 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!

Please be marge to DC-S1M2 Article

edit

Hi, thank you for your contributions to the new articles on the Lumix S series. However, since the article titles differed from those in other language versions and on Commons, I have standardized them to match the Commons category names. Also, please merge the articles for the DC-S1RM2 and DC-S1M2ES into the DC-S1M2 article. In the English version, for instance, the S5M2X is included within the S5M2 article from the start. Although the three S1M2 models differ in release dates and EXIF ​​data, Panasonic officially treats them as a single model. Best regards. 昼落ち(Hiru-ochi)talk 00:47, 1 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi @昼落ち:. I suggest opening a merge discussion over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Photography to get more feedback from other editors. While I'd support this, I think it's important to see what others think. If there is no opposition to this, I'll merge the articles. Cheers, Vacant0 (talk contribs) 16:16, 1 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Kreni-Promeni

edit

On 16 July 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kreni-Promeni, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Kreni-Promeni activists put up a billboard in Belgrade with attached cotton lungs that gradually darkened as they absorbed polluted air? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kreni-Promeni. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (Kreni-Promeni), 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.
