Hello Jishara, nice to meet you. Is it possible to change to german language? Stur wie ein Esel (talk) 19:38, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Hey Stur wie ein Esel! There is, of course, a German Wikipedia at [de.wikipedia.org], and I'm sure they'd love to have your contributions. However, we'd also love to have you here to help out with pages and such.

If you were asking about if our mentoring convo can be in German, I don't speak German, unfortunately. However, if you'd prefer messaging me in German rather than English, I could run it through google translate and respond in English, if that's okay with you. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 20:21, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Why can't I edit some particular pages?

Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.

Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?

Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.

How do I create an article?

See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.

How do I create citations?

1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?

A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

... to WP:QAI! Thank you for dedicated reviewing! Today I was rather busy with Irene Butter, so didn't get to the singer as planned, - always hoping for the next day. If you have articles to be reviewed, place them on top of the project talk. Ohuan, listed there, would profit from another review. Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:55, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

Sounds great, I'll take a look though I'm admittedly inexperienced with FAs so far. Thank you for your great work on singers, by the way (Cotrubas and Mignon Dunn, among others). Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 20:27, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! - I find FA reviewing much easier than GA reviewing because you can just comment on what you like, without being responsible for the whole thing. I have reviewed FAs for more than ten years, but started GA reviewing only last year, because I felt I'm not able to do justice to the prose. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:41, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

Fair enough! I'm personally the other way, I feel a lot more comfy with GAs. though maybe that's just something that'll change with time, this was my first ever FA review. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 19:44, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

Precious

dedicated reviewing

Thank you for quality articles about influential people such as Sydney Towle, Jomana Alrashid, Alexis Nikole Nelson and Ms. Rachel, for new article about women, for bringing articles to DYK and ITN, for quality reviewing with a personal helpful touch, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 3049 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:44, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

• @Gerda Arendt: omg thank you so much! that is so nice of you I appreciate it a lot, esp from an editor I really admire - and I'm glad you find my reviews helpful! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 13:54, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

  Thank you, glad as well! - Women: today Irene Butter (don't miss the short video in her story and article), yesterday Tabea Zimmermann for her 60th (I was in the audience for that concert in 2023, long video), and some day Ileana Cotrubaș again, whose article became GA today as you know best ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:52, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

  Ooh fantastic! Thanks for letting me know of these, and those are great videos. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 16:03, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

  Congrats: 4 GAs in 2 days! - I write a one-sentence story every day (look under the image of leaves), and it usually comes with a video, - enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:20, 11 October 2026 (UTC)

  OO thank you for letting me know. Today's story is quite nice. I'm looking forward to seeing tomorrow's! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 13:55, 11 October 2026 (UTC)

  Dear expert in GA reviewing, I may have made a mistake yesterday, wanting to close a GA review for Irmin Schmidt. I didn't know about a reviewer tool, so did manually what the instructions say: Close the discussion, change the talk page to template GA, and add it to the GAs. I made a mistake with the date in the template GA, and think that may have caused the bot to not pick it up: no icon, no credit to the nominator. Can I do those manually, and if yes, how? Anything else I might be missing? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:32, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

  @Gerda Arendt: Hey Gerda, I think the thing that's missing that might have got the bot to not pick it up is that you missed swapping the article's class from Start to GA (also on the talk page) - I made that swap for you, and once that's done it should hopefully work. I'll take a check back at the article in about an hour and see if it's updated after that, and if not i'll figure things out from there. I'd also softly recommend you pick up the GANReviewTool it really streamlines all this. Sound good? Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 18:48, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

  BTW today's story is awesome. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 18:49, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

  Thank you, and now that I know the tool I think I'll try to use it ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:57, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

  Thank you for giving the credit. Now it's still in the list of nominations, and the page is protected. Would can we do? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:27, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

  I'd say just putting a message in the talk page, maybe? They're generally pretty quick about fixing errors if informed. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 12:59, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

thank you, and resolved! - I nominated Gott soll allein mein Herze haben, BWV 169, - the 300th anniversary (per calendar date) is on 20 October, and I'd like it as good as can be until then ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:43, 15 October 2026 (UTC)

Fantastic, that's one of my favorite cantatas! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 21:20, 15 October 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the efficient review! - Women on the main page: Martina Arroyo (I wanted a blurb for her but didn't succeed) and Marjorie Tallchief 100. I told the principal author of Arroyo that she could have a DYK if her article became GA, - no response. I wonder if I could nominate, but it's many sources that I don't know. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:34, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

No problem, I'm glad we were able to get it done in time! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 20:38, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

It really looks better! I just looked at Pictures at an Exhibition, for interest in the piece, and dropped the continued speakers for "listen" - I bet people know how to play them without that image. Different aspect: if we have a pic specifically related to a composition, it's a better lead image than the composer. (Often we don't have any.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:26, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

Very good point, I'll keep that in mind! I really like the piece too, looking forward to working with nominator to get it to GA. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 15:36, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

more women: Jacqueline Van Quaille (created yesterday, and thank you for adding!), Hilkka Kinnunen, died at 101, and Sofia Gubaidulina who would have been 95 today - the story is about the first, the video a love duet, and you can watch the whole piece on youtube --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:17, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

OO i'll take a look! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 14:28, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

I brought more music to the main page ;) - check out my story: Rossini was in Wildbad, and began to compose again. A short video] shows how his music is kept alive there by a festival at historic places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:06, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

OO that's very interesting thanks for letting me know. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 16:16, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the review for BWV 19. I'm, fine, just returning from rehearsal. - I'll respond there later, perhaps tomorrow. You will have noticed that the article is different, with a contributor who insists that ref style is not changed, no headers for movements, Mincham as key source ... - it's a bit difficult, and I don't want to put that in the review, - diplomacy ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:35, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

makes sense! I hope your rehearsal went well, and thanks for letting me know. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 21:42, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

It went well, rehearsing for Advent, all Renaissance, will write a few articles about the music. Machet die Tore weit is on the program, but I will have to change that article, now that I know the original, and not only the popular shorter and simpler version some arranger made ;) - This is how the cantata looked in 2011. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:47, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

That's very exciting, I can't wait to see them. As for the cantata, it's definitely much different! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 22:09, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

We have a history, as I was just reminded when I checked Rossini's talk archives, - with some distance in time, it even made me smile. DYK that for a while, she created articles about Bach cantatas? BWV 120a, - looking at that article's early history made me smile even more. - Now I'll turn to BWV 98, and will be back for 19 once nominated, hopefully tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:29, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

Fantastic, let me know when you get a chance. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 22:41, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

Not yet, sorry. While the other cantata was mostly done (and the nomination even sooner which I had forgotten) I encountered another RD article, and when searching for sources found that the article was basically copied from the subject's website (as the other "sources" had also done). Sigh. I reworded for a while, then took a break, will take more break and then see ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:48, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Sounds good, I hope it goes well! Kudos as always for your hard work. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 15:58, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

René Jacobs 80 today! - I had a vaccination yesterday, and am a bit schlapp today. I'll turn to Bach after this birthday round and a walk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:16, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

Congrats on the vaccine, and I hope you feel better soon! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 15:20, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

Question from HowToButDontDo (17:06, 10 October 2026)

Mentors - the freshmakor! You have the misfortune of having been assigned my mentor! I would address you by your username, except this "Ask your mentor" dialog/editor is blocking the area where your identifier is displayed and I forgot what it was. At last, I have created a Wikipedia account after ignoring the plethora of calls to action that have proliferated across the various pages of this repository for countless years, and now I am exhausted. It would appear my blossoming career as a Wiki editor has senesced, withered, crumbled and washed away with the dry rasping winds. Thank goodness I managed to add a source to an uncited section and now all is right and well across the land. I had some stupid issues with the arXiv template mostly because it didn't contain the parameter I needed to add the crucial 'et al.' and I didn't feel like publishing a citation with a debquizitillion x 10^15 authors or something. Just in time, I learned about the pencil button and viewed the source thus finding an elusive route to editing the template shortcode directly and added a display-authors=etal parameter so narrowly dodged certain disaster. If you feel called to confirm that my minor edits did not rupture any spleens or introduce a fissure into the planet's core, the page in question is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llama_(language_model) and I added what is currently reference # 59 under 'Fine Tuning'. I didn't write the section, I was reading the article and saw that the uncited paragraphs were in dire jeopardy. I can't take credit for finding a single source containing all the info in that section. That task was delegated to a Gemini 3.6 Flash-Lite model AI browser implementation which located the sacred publication that shall preserve 'Fine Tuning' until the Wikipedias stretched infinitely thin burp into the darkness in fading glitters, long after the last fires have smoldered and succumbed to the cold eventualities of data drift. Thanks looking forward to working with you! --HowToButDontDo (talk) 17:06, 10 October 2026 (UTC)

@HowToButDontDo: Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for adding the source! I'm looking forward to working with you too. Great sourcefind - of course make sure to doublecheck all the sources Gemini finds to confirm they say what it claims, but sounds like you're doing that already. Let me know if you need any help or guidance in figuring out what you want to do! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 17:29, 11 October 2026 (UTC)

Strong recommendation

In a situation like this, you shouldn't just revert the person in question. You should leave a personal message on their talk page, explaining why we can't simply take their word for it, emphasizing that we can use their information if they provide proper sources, and offering to help. DS (talk) 20:07, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

Hi @DragonflySixtyseven: Good point, but that wasn't my revert. I'll keep that in mind for future use, though. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 20:09, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

This one was. DS (talk) 20:13, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

Makes sense - I actually didn't realize that was a revert. I'll make sure to keep an eye out for that in the future, though. Thanks for letting me know. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 20:16, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

Draft: Park Siwoo

Hi, Jishara

Based on you feedback, I have gone through the draft again but I am not sure if I missed anything that needs improvement. Could you please take another look at it again? I'd really appreciate your guidance. Syuclover (talk) 04:59, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

@Syuclover: there's one uncited line (Starlight Boys) and there's also some editorializing. also the numbers about The Prosecutor's Proposal are off, specifically it hit the charts between 7 and 8 and not just at the end. In general, too, can you confirm that none of the text in the article was generated or altered by a LLM? Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 13:15, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

I have revised the draft based on your suggestions. Regarding the use of LLM, I wrote the article myself based on the sources and none was generated by LLM. Thank you for your feedback! Syuclover (talk) 17:08, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

Question from Oscar Leigh (13:14, 18 October 2026)

Hi Jishara! I’d really love your input on a draft I’m working on: Draft:Michael Bullock (writer). An editor flagged a possible conflict of interest (I disclosed it on my user page and the draft’s talk page) and some broken references, which I’ve since fixed. Would you be able to take a look and let me know if it’s ready for mainspace, or if anything else needs work before I submit it? Thank u so much! --Oscar Leigh (talk) 13:14, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

@Oscar Leigh: I think your article is interesting. The question is notability - I don't see any articles focused on Bullock in your source list. The other question is LLM use. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 13:44, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

@Jishara: thank you! As he is a writer I aim for WP:AUTHOR/WP:CREATIVE criterion 3 rather than GNG alone. He’s co-created or edited several books that have each received multiple independent reviews (WWD, LA Blade and NYT on the Peter Berlin book; The Paris Review and Poetry Project Newsletter on I Could Not Believe It; The Guardian on Fire Island Art). Regarding the LLM question: I’ve used one for technical formatting of references, nothing beyond that, all facts and sources were researched through my university library’s database access (Gale, via the CRAI at Universitat de Barcelona) and verified by me manually. --Oscar Leigh (talk) ~~~~ Oscar Leigh (talk) 15:32, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

I did also have a quick question for you though. DaniloDaysOfOurLives, who's participating in the contest, reviewed my article El Daña and passed it on October 10 (page: Talk:El Daña/GA1), but didn't update its status on the contest page from hold to closed/passed. they seem to have been pretty much entirely offline since then and mentioned to me in Talk:Max Hovey/GA1 they're not feeling well, so I'm not sure whether they'll be back on before the contest's end.

Question from Robrob gaming (17:52, 19 October 2026)

how do I make a vaild Wikipedia page that won't get taken down? --Robrob gaming (talk) 17:52, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

Generally, the easiest way to start an article, @Robrob gaming:, is for your first to create it as a draft and submit it through WP:Articles for creation. Articles should have multiple independent (not published by the subject), reliable sources with significant coverage. I'm happy to look over your draft of your first article if you'd like!

Discographies

Hi Jishara, just wanna let you know discography sections generally don't need citations. They are assumed to be sourced within the article, the separate discography article, the articles on the albums, etc. NRP (talk) 19:52, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for letting me know. I've been going off of it as being sourced in the article if they're all listed in the body. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 19:57, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

That makes sense. Some artists have a separate discography article where they are sourced so citing them are also not necessary in those instances (from my understanding). Just wanted to let you know, thanks for all the excellent GA reviews! NRP (talk) 20:04, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

Draft:JBOY (artist) – rewritten

I've now rewritten the whole draft myself. The sources and citation formatting are from the earlier version. An AI assistant only helped me put the citations back in the right places and fix small formatting as im not experienced enough to know how to do this. Also apologies for any human error in my writing as i am dyslexic — Preceding unsigned comment added by JBOYARTIST (talk • contribs) 14:46, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

@JBOYARTIST: Hey there! Thanks for rewriting the draft. Unfortunately I'm not sure you meet notability - do you happen to have profiles or similarly focused articles on you? Local coverage is fine. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 20:10, 22 October 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at this and offering to help. I’ve found a 2014 article by Matthew A. Eller in the Pace Intellectual Property, Sports & Entertainment Law Forum. It discusses my work Very Little Helper on pages 408–409 and returns to it in the copyright analysis on pages 432–436:

https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/pipself/vol4/iss2/5/

There’s also a short Flavorwire piece from 2010:

https://www.flavorwire.com/123677/pic-of-the-day-a-banksysimpsons-parody

I realise these are both about the 2010 work. Would these sources help address the notability concern? JBOYARTIST (talk) 13:23, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

The problem might be that it helps to establish your artwork's notability but less so your own, and I'm not sure you have multiple pieces of art that are notable. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 13:25, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

DCWC closing update

Three weeks ago, the 2026 Developing Countries WikiContest came to a close! After three months of competition, we have our winners. OpalYosutebito (submissions) comes in third with 525 points earned from a large series of good articles about pandas. Vestrian24Bio (submissions), with an immense number of submissions relating to cricket, comes in second with 1040 points. And our runner-up from last year makes their way to the top of the podium: Simongraham (submissions) takes gold with 1065 points, coming from another round of good articles about African jumping spiders!

The award for the most countries covered goes, once again, to Simongraham (submissions) who submitted articles under 30 flags! Vestrian24Bio (submissions) tops the chart for the most quality articles (23 good articles). Kisseran (submissions) and OpalYosutebito (submissions) tie for the award for most submissions under a single country; both made 14 submissions related to China. The award for most submissions related to women goes to GreenLipstickLesbian (submissions) with 12 biographies about women. We also have a tie for the most reviews! Both Dragonhawk12 (submissions) and Simongraham (submissions) submitted 23 reviews each for the category!

Multiple DCWC records were also broken! Simongraham (submissions) set the new record for the most total points, with 1100. Vestrian24Bio (submissions) set two inaugural records, earning the contest's first featured and good topics. GreenLipstickLesbian (submissions) submitted 29 In the news entries, 12 more than the previous record.

Among the participants' contributions were six FAs, five FLs, 132 GAs, and a number of DYKs, ITNs, and reviews of every kind—far more than last year! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed to a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year, and we look forward to seeing your contributions again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page or ask one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), Generalissima (talk · contribs), Magentic Manifestations (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

A Southeast Asian Ribbon for you!

Southeast Asian Ribbon

Dear Jishara, Thank you for your GA review of Manohara Odelia Pinot, you did such an amazing job as a GA reviewer. Me and Ada highly appreciate your desire to help this BLP, which also documents a major Southeast Asian controversy, reach GA status. You are not just a reviewer, but also a key player and feedback provider. As such, I am delighted to give you this personalized award! I myself dropped into this discussion since I first interacted with Ada. They had a great GA, especially for DYK, which I nominated it for. As such, I honor them personally with great heart and soul, and I want to help them as much as possible. I saw this GA nomination on hold and wanted to join/chime in, not just as a Wikipedian, but also from my personal feelings. I was heartbroken after seeing what Manohara went through, and I am happy we all worked together to bring her biography to Good Article status! Thanks for seeing (and recognizing) our mutual passion/desire in bringing her biography to GA. You certainly helped me to an extent I can barely describe, treating me like a co-nominator (even though I wasn't, just someone chiming in)! Cheers, Unsurprising, and feel free to tell me something! 📝 👥 14:55, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

How I find active GA reviews

Dear Jishara,

If you are wondering how I find active GA reviews, I'll tell you here. Of course, I navigate to the Good article nominations list. The active reviews display a "discuss review" button, so I search for it with an easy way: just search for "discuss ", with the space, as the only other mentions of the word "discuss" are in other words, so they do not have the ending space. I also can (and do) search for certain users, like I did to find Gerda's active nomination, which you just so happened to be reviewing.

I might pull up at all your active reviews like this! :D

Cheers, ☯️🐉🐼 Unsurprising 🐼🐉☯️: nice to meet you! 📝 👥 01:13, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

Hey there, The amazing red bigfoot. You're in luck, there absolutely are! Take a look at these three wikiprojects (a type of group of Wikipedians): Paleontology, Animals, and Biology! As for what to keep an eye out for, one thing I recommend new Wikipedians to start with is (if you feel comfortable in your English) prose edits. You could also start by expanding an existing article by adding 1 new citation. The projects can also help you find your way.

I could also find you an article to get started on in one of those fields - let me know! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 21:58, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

Question from The amazing red bigfoot (20:43, 3 November 2026)

I would like an article to help edit, though I am not confident in my abilities. (If it’s not a bother of course) --The amazing red bigfoot (talk) 20:43, 3 November 2026 (UTC)

@The amazing red bigfoot: absolutely! Since you're interested in animals, how'd you feel about the Slender treeshrew? It's currently a two-sentence article, so a lot of room to expand and update! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 21:00, 3 November 2026 (UTC)

Alright, I’ll look it up. The amazing red bigfoot (talk) 21:01, 3 November 2026 (UTC)

November music

story · music · places

November begins with a Bach cantata that ends with a love duet (see story) in which he invites to the wedding and she quotes a bridal song. - Judith Blegen was on the same page until recently, and I hope to see Marisa Manchado there soon. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:47, 3 November 2026 (UTC)

Very interesting! Thanks for the recommendation, and I wish you luck with Manchado. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 21:06, 3 November 2026 (UTC)

Hello

Hello, thank you for reviewing the Trypophobia article. Although it didn't meet the Good article criteria, I appreciate you reviewing it . There is an unfortunate amount of edit wars on the Trypophobia wikipedia article, mostly due to the lotus pod seed image since that can trigger trypophobia, so people will remove it, or replace it with a less triggering image, although there was already a discussion about the image being removed or kept. And yes, the article does have a few problems with it, but i believe that it has had problems for the past years. It was worth a try getting it to Good article criteria, but i appreciate you reviewing it, have a good day/night/arvo (arvo is the Australian way of saying afternoon) . (I apologise about my bad grammar, and wording) @Jishara: 1Ink (talk) 20:46, 4 November 2026 (UTC)

@1Ink: Don't worry, it's on hold, not a fail - you've got time to make the updates! When you make the updates, ping me on the GA review page, and I'll do a follow-up assessment. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 20:52, 4 November 2026 (UTC)

Okay, thank you . @Jishara: 1Ink (talk) 20:54, 4 November 2026 (UTC)
