Re: Taki

Why did you tag that for notability? The reception section's the one part of the article that's fine and establishes her notability quite well.-- Kung Fu Man (talk) 13:55, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

That is actually a good question. I don't know what I was thinking. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:57, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
It's all good. I think the only SC article with issues on notability that's left is Siegfried/Nightmare, but that's more a Siegfried problem.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 13:59, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

May 2023

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Can you please stop snooping around my talk page and other articles I've edited? Thank you. BrickMaster02 (talk) 21:02, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Snooping around your talk page? I did not. It is not even in my watchlist. We just happen to have overlapping interests, and I went to your talk page to inform you about the minor edit policy. While there, I happened to participate in one other discussion, to inform you of precedent. The only reason I even went to your talk page in the first place is because you edited a page I like, and marked the wrong edit minor. This is not "disruptive" in the slightest. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:06, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
Also, after removing my polite message informing you of the minor edit policy, you proceeded to incorrectly mark another edit as minor, before accusing me of snooping. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:09, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Why am I blocked?

@Hadal: I am not a vandalism-only account. I was trying to be good. What did I do wrong? QuicoleJR (talk) 21:28, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

@Hadal: Also, why did you start at indefinite, and not leave a talk page message? While I'm not perfect, I don't think this counts as vandalism-only. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:30, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
My apologies. I had a few too many tabs open, and I mistook a content dispute for something else. I won't involve myself further. Carry on.--Hadal (talk) 21:30, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
Ok, that's fine. Thanks for unblocking me. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:33, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for taking my brain fart with grace. It seems BrickMaster02 reported you at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism and that's probably what tripped me up. I have to step away for other real-life demands anyway, but on the face of it I don't think this was a proper use of this noticeboard. I'll leave a note on their page. --Hadal (talk) 21:37, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:

Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, Chicago PCN02WPS, and London AirshipJungleman29.

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Featured content

I've finished it up. Have a look over, if ye would? I'll probably set up the next featured content soon. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 22:03, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Looks mostly good, but what does "binning-est" mean? QuicoleJR (talk) 22:21, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Bin as in putting it in the basket? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 10:51, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Ah. I see. Makes sense now. QuicoleJR (talk) 11:10, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Hopefully it does to others. Feel free to redo the poem if you have an idea. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 12:18, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Next featured content for the next one. I need to grab anything that passes in the next 6 hours or so, but, well.... that's not a big deal. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 17:46, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Got it. I will start on it soon. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:48, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Pretty clear we're going to have to reshuffle things a bit: A few too many similar things right next to each other, and, of course, the "find the illustratable article" thing. If you see a good illustration, just move that article to the top and put the illustration in. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 17:54, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
OK. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:57, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Kitaria Fables

Hi my friend, I hope you are fine. My point was that it looks odd (IMHO) to add the metacritic rating like that in the lead. Of course I saw it below, where it's correctly placed. Anyway, your call. I won't mind. Best wishes, BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 15:30, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

That is a fair point. I'm just not sure how else to summarize the reception in the lead. QuicoleJR (talk) 15:34, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Bandini

Hi Quicole - I would like to ask a favour. Can you sense check my rewrite on Bandini Automobili. I think it has enough to use as the basis to delete the Bandini s.p. 1000 article and a couple of other similar ones - Bandini GT and Bandini Saloncino. I checked out the origin to these and found all of them look suspiciously like they are directly connected to the Bandini family or museum. They are also direct translations of similarly unreferenced articles on the Italian Wiki. I plan to tidy up the Ilario Bandini article next. NealeWellington (talk) 11:22, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Looks quite a bit better, but it still sounds a bit promotional. For example, this paragraph:
Founded in 1946 in Bandini’s hometown Forlì, the first Bandini used a modified Fiat 1100 engine, the body was made from hand hammered aluminium and the chassis was a modified Fiat 1100 Bandini had managed to high from the Germans during World War 2. Following on from this Bandini made the 1100 Sport and the 1100 Siluro. It was the Siluro that gave them their first race victory in the Giro dell'Umbria (not to be confused with the bicycle race of the same name). The chassis for these were built from aviation-grade tubular steel.
That paragraph alone includes several instances of promotional wording, such as "aviation-grade", "managed to high from", etc. The article has certainly been improved, I'm just saying it still needs a lot of work. QuicoleJR (talk) 15:35, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
Thanks - I see a couple of other editors have joined in so hopefully we can get it to more encyclopedic NealeWellington (talk) 01:02, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
