Hello. Saw you edited the page. This seems an obviously mainspace worthy article by an editor who hasn't edited for a few months. Artworks are usually deemed notable with only one museum source and this one, owned and exhibited by the U.S. House of Representatives, has such notability as well as the prominence carried by exhibition in the U.S. Congress. The draft reviews rejected it twice so I'm ready to just do a copy/paste bold move to mainspace with an explanatory note. Any ideas? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would do a move to preserve the history. It is clearly notable, but not really much written about it. Keith D (talk) 23:59, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yes, clearly notable as the U.S. Capitol's main painting of Lincoln. Have moved it and added it to the Capitol complex navbox as well. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:16, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration
An arbitration case has been opened to look into "the intersection of managing conflict of interest editing with the harassment (outing) policy".
Miscellaneous
Editors are invited to sign up for The Core Contest, an initiative running from April 15 to May 31, which aims to improve vital and other core articles on Wikipedia.
Hello there! Interested in having a chat with fellow Wikipedians? There's a meetup in Leeds on Saturday 4th May 2024, at the Tiled Hall Café at Leeds Central Library.
You're receiving this one-off message as you're either a member of WikiProject Yorkshire, you've expressed an interest in a previous Leeds meetup years ago, or (for about 4 of you), we've met :)
I plan to organise more in future, so if you'd like to be notified next time, please say so over on the meetup page.
Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) – spread the word! Hope to see you there.
Welcome to the one hundred and ninty second WikiProject Yorkshire monthly newsletter.
Thanks to the contributions of our many members and supporters, WP:YORKS has become a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 19,208 last month to 19,275 on 8 April 2024). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 221 is ahead of WP:GM who have 90. WP:YORKS also has the lead in FAs at 93 while WP:GM has 65 out of a total number of 5,047 articles.
Currently we have seventy six Yorkshire featured articles:
The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The April 2024 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations on the project talk page.
The project is subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis.
Monitoring is essential Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
Moves Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.
Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button below...

Hi Keith, thank you for your edit. I'm new to wikipedia, could you explain to me what I'm messing up with my citations and how to fix it? Thank you!

@Mcwillaa: Hello, the problem was the format of a date in one of the references that had 2014-11, yyyy-nn, is not a valid format and needs converting to November 2014. See MOS:DATE for details on valid date formats.
The other changes are general fixes that simplify the code. If you need to use a reference more than once you can name one instance by using <ref name="fred">, then for the other instances just use <ref name="fred" /> rather than fill in all the details again. Hope this helps. Keith D (talk) 22:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Keith. I see your edits popping up on my watchlist regularly and normally agree with them. But I'm not sure about this one. Is "BBC Sport" a work? I'd have used Template:cite web for this one, with the "publisher=" parameter rather than "work=". But this is my own interpretation and it's entirely possible I've missed a guideline somewhere. Genuine question. Dave.Dunford (talk) 11:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think there was some discussion at the football project on this, and they concluded it should be italics. I tend to use |work= as it is easier to type, but probably should be |website=. Also as a news source it should use {{cite news}} though often has {{cite web}} by various cite completion tools. Citation bot changes things this way.

Hello. I would like to let you know that I reverted your recent edit on First Turkic Khaganate as it did not appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, please let me know on my talk page. Thank you for your patience. GOLDIEM J (talk) 17:39, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
