Thank you
[edit]Sincere thank you for your work on Kim Chwajin; he really deserved a great article and you delivered. If I can make a suggestion, Hong Beom-do is also very important and is in dire need of a rewrite. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 18:58, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for saying that! I'll definitely add Hong to the list, but it may have to wait, as I'm focused on a bunch of different other stuff. --Grnrchst (talk) 19:06, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Grapesurgeon: Do you think the article on Kim Chwajin would be ready for a good article nomination? I can't seem to find much else on him in the English language (and I can't read Korean). --Grnrchst (talk) 10:19, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- Yea. I think it's plenty good enough for a GA; useful to broad audiences. I will say it's missing a good chunk of possible info that's probably only in the Korean language, but it's nothing that prevents the current article from being useful enough to most non-Koreans. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 17:12, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Grapesurgeon: Would you be able to add some Korean sources about him to the further reading?--Grnrchst (talk) 17:13, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- Ok, will get to soon! grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 17:15, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

General references in stub articles
[edit]In single-sentence stubs like Anarchism (Woodcock book) with a full References section, any of those references can verify the book's topic, author, and release year, which is to say that those are General References. The {{no footnotes}}
template is not necessary as there is no ambiguity over how the one-sentence article is sourced. Wanted to leave a note as you appear to be adding this template to a number of articles. czar 03:34, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Czar: Ach, thanks for pointing that out. These single-sentence book stubs were the main ones I wasn't super sure about tagging, but wanted to somehow highlight that they need expansion. I can go back and remove those if they were inappropriate. --Grnrchst (talk) 07:45, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- No worries, just wanted to flag it for going forward. Re: need for expansion, usually just the stub template itself (and the article's clearly short length) is enough to indicate, with cleanup templates being more for policy issues. czar 12:38, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- Ok got it, I'll keep note of that. By the way, apologies for the incoming wave of issues that'll be hitting our cleanup tracker on Tuesday. I figured it best for us in the long run if I went through our stub and start-class articles to see which ones are still in need of citations, but it might be a bit hectic in the short-term. --Grnrchst (talk) 14:00, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Gaetano Bresci scheduled for TFA
[edit]This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 29 July 2025. Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 2025, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/July 2025.

I also suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from two days before it appears on the Main Page. Thanks, and congratulations on your work! SchroCat (talk) 15:15, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
Food for thought
[edit]One reason you may want to be careful about applying {{Too long}}
unsupervised—I've seen new users apparently asked to help out by the mobile app mercilessly chop half of an article out because of such banners, with others coming later to paper the evidence over, leaving future readers puzzled why there's only half of an article to read. Remsense 🌈 论 11:19, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
- This drive by tagging is disruptive editing - I note that you are currently tagging 1-2 articles a minute, which obviously means that no consideration is being given to the actual content of articles. Please stop this. Nick-D (talk) 11:25, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

- Of course! You know, of all the social/rhetorical arts one could master on Wikipedia, maintenance tagging may be the most subtle of them all, and with potentially great rewards too. Remsense 🌈 论 11:31, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Remsense: Do you have any recommendations or know of any essays/guidelines for this? I want to make sure what I'm doing is always for the long-term benefit of the article and really don't want to be disruptive. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:37, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
- A good rule of thumb—which has literally never failed me, come to think of it, so maybe it's just a rule!—is to ask on a relevant WikiProject or the Village pump before doing anything more intrusive than typo fixes across a large number of articles that exist outside the ambit you would otherwise typically be working in. That is, WP:MEATBOTTING is just as carefully done as regular botting.
- (Tangential maybe, but my Wikipedia neuroses generally revolve around fear of "good" articles getting significantly worse with no one noticing and it becoming a stratum in the edit history impossible to easily excise—so much of my philosophy revolves around how to best prevent specifically that from happening to articles I arbitrarily decided I care about.)Remsense 🌈 论 11:48, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Centro Iberico
[edit]Hiya, I was just gearing up to do a rollback of ManfredHugh's edits on Centro Iberico when I saw your edit. It is indeed close paraphrasing :( Same prob as at Squatting in England and Wales. We are in discussion on the talk page there, but I don't think they are getting the point :( How are you thinking to proceed? Mujinga (talk) 11:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Mujinga: Honestly I don't think I would have noticed if they didn't incorrectly call Émilienne Morin by Durruti's surname (which was copied from Meltzer and Ruff word-for-word). If this is a recurring problem and they don't seem receptive to being called in on it, then it may be worth taking the issue to administrators' noticeboard. I hope that's not necessary, but it depends on how deep the problem is. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:53, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply, it's def heading that way unfortunately Mujinga (talk) 11:57, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
Thank you
[edit]Thanks for organizing the May GA Challenge, and for your help on Gentlemen & Players, which eventually made it to a GA! I'm now working on Emily Bronte: I've already had some help from Spookyaki in identifying things to work on, but I don't want to keep asking them for help, as I'm sure they have their own projects. I'm still pretty new to this, so if you know of anyone who wouldn't mind mentoring me on how best to bring articles up to GA status, I'd be very grateful. ArthurTheGardener (talk) 09:08, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- @ArthurTheGardener: Congratulations on your first GA! Awesome to hear you're working on Emily Bronte, so best of luck in improving that article. LEvalyn has done quite a bit of work on improving articles on literary subjects to GA, so it might be worth asking them. You can also ask on Women in Green's talk page to see if anyone else can help. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:15, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you, Grnrchst: I really appreciate your advice. 15:07, 16 June 2025 (UTC) ArthurTheGardener (talk) 15:07, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- Brontë would be great to have as a GA! I’m happy to help if you have questions or want a second set of eyes. Good luck! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 17:30, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you so much, LEvalyn: I've done a fair bit of work on the Emily Bronte page, and I'd really appreciate some guidance on how to proceed further. (Some of the notes are a bit confusing, and I've been wondering if they are really needed). ArthurTheGardener (talk) 06:34, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
- @ArthurTheGardener, the answer to that question, regardless of the article, is almost always "they are not needed". -- asilvering (talk) 06:41, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
- I have a tendency to spawn notes when I realise something is getting off-topic for the article but I can't bear to cut it... and it's often a mercy for someone else to fully delete them. I don't think I'd keep any of the notes currently at Emily Bronte, and I'd probably also delete that entire odd section about the story of her and her dog! As a more general piece of advice, you might find it helpful to take a look at the ODNB biography of her (you can access the ODNB with the Wikipedia Library) when trying to gauge which details are WP:DUE and which are not -- that's often where I look. Also, in future you should probably ask me questions on my own talk page, to avoid filling up Grnrchst's notifications :) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 07:06, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Possible nomination to good article
[edit]Hey Gren, I saw an article that you created: Natalia Landsberg. From a cursory look at its sources and prose, I think it is around Good Article level, so you should consider nominating it for good article, thanks! Easternsahara (talk) 23:15, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Easternsahara: Hey, I'm glad to hear you think so! Honestly, I hadn't considered nominating this for GA when writing it, as I tend to be rather selective of what I nominate due to the glacially slow pace of the reviewing process. But if you think it might meet the criteria, I can add it to my list of good article candidates. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:10, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Class War
[edit]On 28 June 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Class War, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

- @Mujinga: It was something I thought was so weird I just fell into a research hole about it. It was also not uncommon for 1930s Spain. Francisco Franco's brother Ramón was a left-wing activist and a Freemason; his cousin Ricardo was executed at the outbreak of the civil due to his Republican sympathies. --Grnrchst (talk) 14:29, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
- Plus Ramon was a "pioneer of aviation"! Another interesting read, although not very well sourced that one. Speaking of plus, Plus Ultra is a great name for a plane slash conspiracy theory :) Mujinga (talk) 08:13, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

About your DCWC submission
[edit]Hey Grnrchst! Thanks for taking part in the Developing Countries WikiContest. This is about your submission of Kwŏnŏphoe's GAN review, which you submitted under both the North Korean and Russian flags. I could not verify any obvious associations with North Korea in the article text (the organization's army was succeeded by the South Korean government), so I've accepted it under Russia for now, which does not apply the 1.5× multiplier for "least developed" countries. If I'm missing something, I'd be happy to reconsider the decision. In the future, for scoring purposes, please submit articles under just one flag. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:24, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- @TechnoSquirrel69: Its largest factions were from Hamgyong and Pyongyang, and its inaugural president and vice president were both from the north. --Grnrchst (talk) 07:37, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, let me check in with the other DCWC coordinators for a second opinion. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 07:51, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- On my end, I feel like it's acceptable to be considered as North Korean though the article is quite centered on Korean diaspora within Russia. Considering it has some substantial connections with the nation, I'll be okay with it. Arconning (talk) 10:41, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- That makes sense to me; I'll go ahead and accept it under North Korea then. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 09:18, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Spain and the World
[edit]I would be extremely grateful for your advice about the statuses of the three categories that have been assigned to the article of Anarchist Collectives, Anarchist newspapers and Anarchist periodicals published in the United Kingdom. For two reaons I don't think that any of these categories are valid. First, the impetus for the creation of Spain and the World was, commendably, Italian anti-fascism in London, which I think merits more acknowledgement. (I've emailed Stephania Rampello, one of the authors I cited in the hope that she might be able to enlighten me about this.) Second, Spain and the World described itself as being an Anti-fascist journal and not an anarchist one. I'm very pleased that (by default), you seem to me to have accepted Spain and the World for the project because I perceive that (properly edited) it fills a gap in the pre-history of anarchism in the UK. However, I don't consider that my perception makes Spain and the World the product of an anarchist collective, an anarchist newspaper or an anarchist periodical. I hope that this request isn't too onerous. John Desmond (talk) 18:58, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- @John Desmond: Not onerous at all! If you don't think the article belongs in these categories, then per our guidelines on categorisation, you can be bold and remove them. If someone reverts it, then you can open a discussion about it with them. Best of luck with building this article further! --Grnrchst (talk) 19:07, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

- @Zanahary: Holding is just a way of marking a review to allow time for the issues to be addressed (see WP:GAN/I#HOLD), it's not a bad thing. --Grnrchst (talk) 16:57, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
- Sure, but the nominal seven-day deadline concerns me. If that’s not in effect, then I have no concerns. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 16:58, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Zanahary: The seven day thing is more of a guideline than a hard deadline. Don't worry, it takes an exceptional amount of time inactive before I feel the need to close a review that's been on hold (most recent case was after months of it being open, without any progress from the nominator). --Grnrchst (talk) 17:01, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

- I was not made aware of certain changes made after the nomination, such as the space after the parentheses in section titles. Looking at the edit history, it seems to be a script-related mistake. Do not accuse me of making changes I didn't make.
- Per WP:RSP, there is no source I included that is not reliable. While it might be preferable to use general articles, quickfailing based on the use of live posts is near-sighted.
- I was vague on details either because no information exists or because it would veer into intricate and useless details.
It would have been useful for me to address these points in your review. Instead, you quickfailed and closed it on false assumptions, including reference style at one point; it is acceptable that the "full title of the BBC article" is in the citation, it is acceptable that the article omits certain details as long as it is "broad in its coverage", and it is acceptable that each event, including dinners and tours, that Trump partook in was mentioned. The good article criteria is not the featured article criteria. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 22:11, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
- 1. I never accused you.
- 2. It's near-sighted to use live reactions. I was asking for enduring coverage.
- 3. Maybe that's the problem.
- I quick-failed it because I thought it was a long way off GA criteria and I stand by that. --Grnrchst (talk) 22:20, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
- Perhaps it wasn't wise to get personal and say "Did you not see these?" then. I don't see who else you were talking to there. I am in my right to formally dispute this. This isn't an "I thought" matter, this is an objective matter. Thank you for the limited notes you did give. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 22:31, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
- Feel free to dispute it however you like. --Grnrchst (talk) 22:34, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you today for Gaetano Bresci, introduced: "Gaetano Bresci was the notorious assassin of the Italian king Umberto I. He was arguably one of the most consequential assassins of the early 20th century, inspiring adoration from members of the anarchist movement and instilling fear in state officials. I first learned about him when I saw his name graffiti'd on a wall in my city, which made me interested enough in his story to write this biography."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:25, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
