On 5 April 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article NBACentel, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that after an NBA Twitter parody page posted a fake report of Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers promising to take coaching "seriously", their performance improved during the 2024–25 season? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/NBACentel. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, NBACentel), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello mentor, I would like to know what app or platform editors use to revert specific edits of vandals. --GreatCmsrNgubane (talk) 06:08, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

RedWarn/Ultraviolet and Twinkle are some good options. Lupin's anti-vandal tool works too, but it's quite old, and its creator has left Wikipedia a long time ago, so it might crash at any time. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 11:34, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Killing of Arul Carasala is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Killing of Arul Carasala until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

On 9 April 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Murphy (bald eagle), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a bald eagle went viral for incubating a rock? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Murphy (bald eagle). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Murphy (bald eagle)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

[1] this is not someone who is ever likely to make constructive contributions in this topic area. (t · c) buidhe 22:21, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Buidhe, yeah I realized that after I posted that reply. I ended up scrolling through their contributions, and they have a blatant Armenian genocide denialist/Turk ultranationalist POV-pushing agenda. I now have the gut feeling to bring this to ANI at this point, as they are clearly wasting people's time with their nonsense. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 22:39, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i need to add an image to wikipedia templates. how can i do it? canyou just tell me a bit. i have to edit a living people profile. --Tdkbond (talk) 21:59, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you explain notability to me? What makes a person notable? Is it just meaning they need to have a page about them, or is it relevancy to the information, or what? Thank you! --Moxxerella (talk) 22:10, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notability means that a topic is eligible for a Wikipedia article. It means that said topic has in-depth coverage from reputable sources (e.g. newspapers of record, academic journals, books published by university presses, etc). 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 22:39, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello how do I upload traditional music? --Gweskada Tapshak Inuwa (talk) 23:51, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For one, make sure the recording(s) and composition(s) are free to use and not restricted by copyright; then upload the file to Wikimedia Commons. If you need to add a fair use sample, make sure it follows the non-free content guidelines. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 21:40, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On 14 April 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Detention of Mahmoud Khalil, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the detention of Mahmoud Khalil raises constitutional questions similar to a 1945 court case? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Detention of Mahmoud Khalil. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Detention of Mahmoud Khalil), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Hey I saw you made a new FAQ on Fractal... did else something happen? I really did write with the presumption that his real name was common knowledge for how quickly I saw it on Google. I still feel awful that he thinks he was doxxed, that was never ever the point. How would Wikipedia feel if I just removed his name all together? I've never had to deal with something like this before but I want to know what you think. Very Respectfully, Johnson524 00:45, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Johnson524, no, nothing happened. I just wanted to explain the matter in case a bunch of angry readers come to the talk page. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 01:03, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

• BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
• Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
• History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
• Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hi LunaEclipse, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! _signed, Rosguill ^talk 18:29, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. i need to know, how to make a bilingual page. i just need to create another language, but same page which is in English. --Tdkbond (talk) 11:00, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LunaEclipse! While browsing Wikipedia I found a biographical article I thought was largely written by the subject. It seems the account they use has also inserted themselves into other pages as well (ex. notable alumni), although all the edits made are regarding themselves. Is this something I should report or edit? --RubberDuckiesRAwesome (talk) 03:07, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

RubberDuckiesRAwesome, yes. The conflict of interest noticeboard is the right venue. If the editor hasn't been active in a while, it would be best to try rewriting the promotional parts of the article. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 08:36, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Rosa the sea otter.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:13, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
