Adoption

[edit]

Hello! Would you be open to discussing possible adoption? I also have a (big) interest in tornadoes (especially after going through a tornado outbreak myself :P) and I think overall you are a cool person who could provide valuable mentorship. Thank you, FarmerUpbeat (talk) 00:12, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure!! It's almost tornado season, so perfect time to ask. Do you have any off-the-bat questions? :) EF5 00:13, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, what would the best way to communicate be? FarmerUpbeat (talk) 01:05, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd prefer on-wiki, if that's fine. It's nothing personal, it's just that Wikipedia is the website I have access the most to throughout the day (and I've had at least one questionable experience with talking off-wiki). :D — EF5 01:09, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

August thanks

[edit]

Thank you for improving article quality in August, with a story about a singer -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:17, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Check out my talk for an Independence day, or: the pic of Oksana Lyniv was taken on 24 August. There's listening and reading in today's story, and I like both. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:26, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: thank you! YSOU and Lyniv were interesting reads, specifically the "quarantine concert". I rarely know of classical music outside of Mozart and the other well-known people, but maybe I should take a deeper dive one day. EF5 19:54, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just being open for different styles might be a good idea ;) - On top of my talk: birthday of a great violinist and Requiem for a great friend. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerda Arendt: indeed! I think of my music interests as "chaotic" - delta blues, moroccan gnawa, hyperpop, mallsoft, etc... all over the place. EF5 16:18, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Assistance

[edit]

Hey EF5! I saw your edit summary where you mentioned you would be willing to help out. If you meant specifically regarding Draft:United States Congress hearings on Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, then I could use someone going through the entire background section (on Helene, Milton, and Controversy/Misinformation sections), to make sure details are not too long, too short, irrelevant, or even if relevant background information is missing. Also maybe some basic deep-search Google checks to find additional secondary reliable sources (such as this NBC News article) that mention or cover any of the four Congressional hearings would be useful.

If you meant Draft:Influence of severe weather on American politics in general, then I would honestly say pick any of the weather events (section headers) listed on the draft and just start looking for sources. I'm trying to add background detail on every weather event mentioned as well, prior to mentioning the political stuff. Example is Draft:Influence of severe weather on American politics#1992 presidential election, which has a full background paragraph of Hurricane Andrew itself, prior to the paragraph on the political impacts from Andrew.

I do not know if you are truly interested in the politics-aspect, but if you aren't, then a lot of the "meteorological synopsis"-style information is needed throughout the draft. If you wanted to help out, that would probably be the biggest help; just getting the meteorological details down first, then I could go through and get the political information down. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 16:00, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@WeatherWriter: Although I don't show it through my editing, I do have a pretty big interest in politics. I'll be able to help once the Greensburg FAC clears up, as that's what I'm putting all my focus on as it's likely to pass. EF5 14:43, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2025 September newsletter

[edit]

The fourth round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 29 August. The penultimate round saw three contestants score more than 800 points:

Everyone who competed in Round 4 will advance to Round 5 unless they have withdrawn. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far, while the full scores for Round 4 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 9 featured articles, 12 featured lists, 98 good articles, 9 good topic articles, more than 150 reviews, nearly 100 did you know articles, and 18 in the news articles.

In advance of the fifth and final round, the judges would like to thank every contestant for their hard work. As a reminder, any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed in Round 5. In addition, note that Round 5 will end on 31 October at 23:59 UTC. Awards at the end of Round 5 will be distributed based on who has the most tournament points over all five rounds, and special awards will be distributed based on high performance in particular areas of content creation (e.g., most featured articles in a single round).

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 – Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), Frostly (talk · contribs), Guerillero (talk · contribs) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) – are reachable on their talk pages.

  • Researching historical women writers who used pseudonyms requires careful investigation across multiple sources, as many women adopted pen names to avoid gender bias and judgment (e.g., being labeled a bluestocking) and, ultimately, to get published.
