Organising Feminism and Folklore[change source]

Hello Community Organizers,

Thank you for organising Feminism and Folklore writing competition on your wiki. We congratulate you in joining and celebrating our cultural heritage and promoting gender equality on Wikipedia.

To encourage boost for the contributions of the participants, we're offering prizes for Feminism and Folklore local prizes. Each Wikipedia will have three local winners:

First Prize: $15 USD
Second Prize: $10 USD
Best Jury Article: $5 USD

All this will be in gift voucher format only. Kindly inform your local community regarding these prizes and post them on the local project page

The Best Jury Article will be chosen by the jury based on how unique the article is aligned with the theme. The jury will review all submissions and decide the winner together, making sure it's fair. These articles will also be featured on our social media handles.

We're also providing internet and childcare support to the first 50 organizers and Jury members for who request for it. Remember, only 50 organizers will get this support, and it's given on a first-come, first-served basis. The registration form will close after 50 registrations, and the deadline is March 15, 2024. This support is optional and not compulsory, so if you're interested, fill out the form here.

Each organizer/jury who gets support will receive $30 USD in gift voucher format, even if they're involved in more than one wiki. No dual support will be provided if you have signed up in more than one language. This support is meant to appreciate your volunteer support for the contest.

We also invite all organizers and jury members to join us for office hours on Saturday, March 2, 2024. This session will help you understand the jury process for both contests and give you a chance to ask questions. More details are on meta page.

Let's celebrate our different cultures and work towards gender equality on Wikipedia!

Best regards,

Rockpeterson

Jenadriyah[change source]

Hey, Just noticed that you rejected Jenadriyah citing not simple english but wasn't it already at borderline when you have a review? Some of the other articles written by me are far more complex I think, but this one I don't understand...

Anyways it was fun and really helpful to participate in the contest, you were kinda helpful in making my simple english better. Cheers! -- 💌Ayesha46 (talk) 00:47, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen you and Cyber both get better at writing in simple English as the contest went on. I have raised the issue on the project talk page. Haoreima is the lead on the contest this year. He and I will talk about what to do with articles that are kind of complex but have nothing else wrong with them. Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:50, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Thanks ✨ 💌Ayesha46 (talk) 00:51, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Conversations[change source]

Hey Froggie! I have no issue with you bringing up issues with me on my talk instead of going straight to WP:ST. It saves us both a lot of trouble and a resolution can easily be reached. I am sure you understand that from our time together editing. As long as a valid point is made and proven, I have no problem stopping. You brought up a good point and provided proof, so I will stop doing that going forward. I am a pretty amicable person, as are you from what I know of you and we have never had issues with each other. So again, feel free to bring it directly to me either on IRC or my TP before putting it out for everyone. For what you posted on the article tp, it was confusing, but the post on ST was better written and understandable. Thanks and edit well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 02:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1) I genuinely wanted to get the opinions of the rest of the community because it is not for certain that I am right about this. Maybe there is some advantage to adding even an off ISBN that I don't know about.

2) I am not used to people reacting the way you are reacting right now. Darkfrog24 (talk) 03:12, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For 2 it’s understandable. It’s only because of what happened to me on en wiki where a certain user (then many more joined) who instead of talking to me took me straight to the admin board which ended in me being banned. Many stewards do not agree with them but it is what it is.

For the ISBNs, this can provide more insight w:Wikipedia:ISBN Thanks and edit well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 03:36, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just because someone on en.wiki weaponized the disciplinary system doesn't mean you should automatically obey anyone who raises questions about your choices. You're not an underling. I deliberately didn't use your username at Simple Talk. I phrased it almost as neutrally as I would for an RfC. I want other editors here to say whether they think it's right to add ISBNs like that. The community might decide you were doing the right thing. Darkfrog24 (talk) 12:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand and I am sorry you took it that way. I will do my best going forward. There was a better way to phrase it without even mentioning some of the stuff, but I do get your point. I did run into an article where they did include the ISBNs but the cites themselves were messed up. Those are the ones I like. But you do have a very valid point.

PS it was not just one person, it was about 35 editors. But that is behind me.

BTW, what article won? Thanks and edit well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 12:27, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't do anything wrong. I'm just worried about the state of the project.

"What article won"? Are we talking about the F&F contest? The way that works is that one of the judges (just Haoreima and myself this year) votes "accept" or "don't accept" on each article. Each "accept" is worth one point. The contestant with the most points wins SEWP's branch of the contest. We can vote "don't accept" for any reason related to the contest, such as "This article has been deleted and is no longer on SEWP" or "This article is not about feminism or folklore" (both real examples). Darkfrog24 (talk) 12:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Maybe (if a guy is allowed) I can help next year :)

It is perfectly understandable. I get where you are coming from, and again, has very great validity. Thanks and edit well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 12:43, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. F&F runs project-wide, so you can sign up to help on any Wikipedia in which you're competent with the language. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:12, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well I am on it, until they add a redneck wiki and a california wiki :) I failed spanish 3x in highschool and 2x in college. Language is not a strong suit of mine. However, I do have translate which is pretty good for copy vio checks and comparing the article to match requirements. Thanks and edit well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 13:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BTW[change source]

I am down to 34 articles left to link to wikidata and I found a great script that automates it for you so all you have to do is pick the right one and click submit. That cat is also good for new pages, especially for QD since there is nothing to link them to. I have done a fair share of QDs and redirects. If you want to hop in and help for a bit. Total Backlog Annihilation. Lee did a few yesterday morning, so I think with your help and then myself getting done what I am doing then diving back in, we can complete the first one. :)

I also love the name because that is the goal after all. Thanks and edit well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 13:00, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feminism: Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen[change source]

Hello,

as you have perhaps seen I have brought over Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen. I have also started to simplify it. But the tools don't like me. Would you be helping simplify it, so that certain sections get from univerity-level language to a language a 7-8year old can understand? - Ideally without leaving out information.

There are also two DYK hooks in the queue, about the article, so help would defiiintely be appreciated
