You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Medjed), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!

More than a cameo[edit]

I saw your edit removing that Marceline appears in the "Simon Petrikov" episode of "Fionna and Cake", saying "removing the "Simon Petrikov" bit (that's just a cameo that doesn't need to be covered here)." On the one hand I can agree in the sense that the text you removed doesn't need to be added. On the other hand, it makes sense to include it, in the new text I just added to the Marceline the Vampire Queen page. I don't know if there are any articles on it, but I distinctly remember Marcy appearing in "The Winter King" as well (she was a creation of the Winter King in that world). So, I would have have to say that it makes sense to include it on the page. Her appearances in the series go beyond a cameo in one episode. Historyday01 (talk) 18:53, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think your addition is better phrased, as it explicitly states that she appears in the series, but only sporadically. Upon reflection, given that this is a new series (technically), I'd think this is probably worth mentioning.--Gen. Quon[Talk] 17:16, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to say that short. As you may know from the infobox on my user page, I sang with many choirs, one of them was The Master Singers of Westchester, conducted by Les Robinson Hadsell. We became friends, and she asked me what I'd do for Thanksgiving, and I said nothing special (we Germans don't have that tradition), and she said she was invited by Ruth and Mike and would ask if she could bring me along. The answer was yes. Croton-on-Hudson had one community service for all, and the rabbi gave the sermon in the Catholic church that year. I loved all of it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:51, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The article Uber Geek has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No significant coverage or reliable sources seem to exist

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Mentoring for FA[edit]

Hey I saw your post at mentioning for FA. I recently got an article I wrote to a GA and was hoping to atleast nominate it for FA. I was looking over the criteria and noticed the mentor thing. So would you be willing to assist me? The article is Beebo the God of War. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant: Sure thing! I'd be happy to help. To begin with, what all would you like out of the experience? I know that some people want overall tips, whereas others would prefer exhaustive feedback about the article itself, etc. I'm happy to help in any way that I can, but I want to check first!--Gen.

What ever you think would be helpful but if I had to pick, the second one. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:03, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@OlifanofmrTennant: First off, super sorry about the delay. Life kinda hit me like a train this last week and a half, and I haven't had a ton of time to focus on Wikipedia. Hopefully things will be a bit slower now! OK, I'll take a look at the article, make some comments, and then we can go from there. If it's easier, we can also communicate via email, as I often am better at responding there.--Gen. Quon[Talk] 18:54, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries take your time, I;ll be eagerly awaiting. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:54, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@OlifanofmrTennant: OK, so here are some of my preliminary thoughts on this page:
  • Your sourcing looks solid; I'll try to delve into the individual citations here in a bit, but I'm impressed with the look of your inline citations. (In many of this site's articles, they're a mess!)
  • The plot summary is quite large compared to the production and reception sections. IMHO, cutting down the summary and expanding the latter two would make this a bit more balanced, per other FAs.
  • Similarly, I'm a sucker for production info, and while the article briefly mentions the production process, more information about the writing, filming, directing, editing, etc. would enhance readers' understanding of the episode's development. Is there any info about Beebo's creation? Given the character's impact, that seems like a great way to expand the article.
  • In a lot of FAs about television episodes, there is a section that looks at themes explored, etc. Providing this sort of analysis—if it exists—would making the article more substantial.
  • I know that the "Christmas special" is discussed in the article for the show itself, but it might be worthwhile to include that section in the "Beebo the God of War" article, too. You could probably use the exact same text, alongside the {{Template:Copied}} template.
  • Personally, I believe the "Critical response" section can be improved upon by organizing the section by thematic elements, rather than just listing reviews one after the other. (For a GA, I think this approach is fine, but for an FA, you want to weave it all into a narrative, so to speak.)
I'll try to take a deeper dive into everything here in a bit! Let me know if you have any questions about the points I raise; I'm more than happy to expand upon any of them, or give you some tips and tricks about how to proceed.--Gen. Quon[Talk] 15:13, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Where would the Christmas special section go? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:35, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@OlifanofmrTennant: My instinct is to put it in its own section at the very end of the page, before "Notes".--Gen. Quon[Talk] 18:43, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have added information on the Christmas special. I'll begin putting together a an analysis section. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:36, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
