TFA[edit]

Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:39, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for improving articles in May! - Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear (imagine: five composers linked whose music was banned by the Nazis!) and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations to editor of the week! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to Wikipedia:Did_you_know/Supplementary_guidelines?[edit]

I see you redirected this; can you explain? Are they no longer valid? Can you point to where this was decided? (Also asked at Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know/Guidelines#What_happened_to_Wikipedia:Did_you_know/Supplementary_guidelines? before I thought to ask you directly.) --GRuban (talk) 21:00, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Explained there. Thank you! --GRuban (talk) 14:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editor of the Week[edit]

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Ixtal submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate theleekycauldron to be a repeat Editor of the Week recipient for her continued work at DYK, excellent article work, friendliness towards newbies and veterans alike, and especially their February interest in spearheading the RfA process at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review; a restart of a much-needed further discussion, with others, to reform the process. I know they have previously received this award but it has been over 12 months and her achievements in the interim really do merit recognition on their own. Since then they have managed to create three FAs which are all both entertaining and amusing. They are a constant font of good advice. Seconded by Gog the Mild.

Oh, what a lovely thing!! @Ixtal and Gog the Mild: thank you so much :) honestly, I need my FAs to be entertaining, I can't sit through 3000 words of it otherwise. :P theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 18:49, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder how the two day discussion period would hold up[edit]

under an existing admin reconfirmation. For somebody the community has already approved. I was thinking of myself. I've held the mop for three years. Never been disciplined in my career. Would you co-nominate me? Let's see if User:Drmies wants to stir up the crap he started when he nommed me the first time. Would I pass? BusterD (talk) 16:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BusterD: I think that'd be a really interesting test! If you'd like to make it binding, i might suggest resigning your tools and maybe even waiving right of resysop, just to make sure the RfA is considered procedurally valid, since the RRfA procedure doesn't exist yet.

I'm not at all against nominating you – and if I were, I would still write a very strong support – but perhaps a reconfirmation RfA would be better served with a self-nomination. Outside nominators make sense for a candidate that needs help standing on their own two legs, but former admins at RfA (see Floq 2) usually self-nom. I think you'd pass pretty handily, although of course there's no telling with RfA. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 18:27, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a new RfA listed now. Let's talk to Drmies first and wait for a moment of slack. Worst that happens, I don't pass and I can return to pagespace again. BusterD (talk) 19:33, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a solid plan :) [I was mulling standing for reconfirmation myself, but to test out the admin elections process!] theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:39, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
