The article Cherry-throated tanager you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Cherry-throated tanager for comments about the article, and Talk:Cherry-throated tanager/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Giganotosaurus. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Bowler the Carmine | talk 20:43, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bowler the Carmine: I was reverting vandalism by a new account that so far has done nothing but vandalism. You could leave that message on their talk page but I'm not sure it will have any effect. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 20:51, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the type of obvious vandalism exempt from the policy against edit warring. If there is persistent disruptive behavior from a user, WP:ANI is the place to go; reverting number changes without providing any explanation or starting a discussion isn't an option. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:06, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, that makes sense. I've never been involved with WP:ANI, and I surely should figure out how that works. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 21:22, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

January 2025 GAN Backlog Drive
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for good article nomination reviews will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number, length, and age of nominations reviewed. Each article review will earn 1 point; for each 90 days an article has been in the backlog, an additional half-point is awarded; one extra point will be awarded for every 2500 total reviewed words. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.
If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Thank you today for Cherry-throated tanager, introduced as "One of the word's most endangered birds, with currently only 20 individuals known. I was able to get permission to use three photographs; previously we didn't had a single one."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:22, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 21:27, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I have a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who became GA yesterday, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:13, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jens Lallensack. I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 03:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I just completed it. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 01:56, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Hortalotarsus you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Simongraham -- Simongraham (talk) 06:24, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article Hortalotarsus you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Hortalotarsus and Talk:Hortalotarsus/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Hello. I honestly don't know what to do next. I made some changes but don't know if they are good enough. LittleJerry (talk) 22:35, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to leave it hanging there, it is just that checking stuff against the sources just takes a lot of time. Will try to have another go over the weekend. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 00:18, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

how about after Roy and Dudley are finished? LittleJerry (talk) 16:26, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be able to spotcheck before the next FAC? LittleJerry (talk) 01:19, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am very busy at the moment and therefore can't commit to anything. Let me know when the article is ready, and I will see if I can free some time. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 09:57, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi you've reviewed two of my good article nominations before: Owha and Paora. Since you seem to be interested in animals and birds I was wondering if you'd like to participate in the peer review of the article because I'd like it to become a featured article. I'm also looking for a mentor for this. But I understand that you may not be interested, or may be too busy, so no worries if you aren't interested. Thanks. ―Panamitsu (talk) 05:10, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Panamitsu: article looks very good, I can only see two minor issues:

• "leave nice messages for him", you could remove the "nice" as it does not add anything and is not very encyclopedic
• vets – you should spell it out, not all readers are natives.

I would say just nominate it and see how it goes – I can't predict it, but it is a small article, so you would be able to make larger changes within time frame if any are needed. Maybe you will be asked to remove some details in the "costs" section that maybe sound a bit promotional, but in that case, it's easy to do. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 11:27, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! ―Panamitsu (talk) 21:50, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, @Panamitsu:. I had a closer look now – I left you comments on the Peer Review page. After you are confident that they have been resolved, just nominate at FAC I would say. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 00:13, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! I'll go through this feedback and then make sure the article matches all the article again (which will take a while) then should submit once I'm ready. ―Panamitsu (talk) 01:26, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
