Hey Kaizenify! Would you be okay with me nominating this article for a WP:Did you know section? I think the article is a really cool start, and I feel like it deserves some attention. Jlevi (talk) 03:33, 30 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jlevi; why not, please go ahead. Thank you. Kaizenify (talk) 03:36, 30 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

... that Nigerian climate activist Adenike Oladosu organizes with Fridays for Future to confront the flooding, drought, and extreme heat causing crop failures and swelling refugee camps? ^[1]

Comment: This is my first nomination! Please ping me if I need to modify anything. Thank you!

Created by Kaizenify (talk) and Jlevi (talk). Nominated by Jlevi (talk) at 03:56, 30 January 2020 (UTC).Reply

New enough; long enough; no QPQ required. Sufficiently referenced. I've done a lot of copy-editing to get this into shape (to the extent that I'm not far off being a co-editor rather than a reviewer). I have concerns about the photo used in the article and nominated that for deletion. There is too much close paraphrasing from the Greenpeace source and that will have to be addressed before this goes any further; Jlevi I suggest you attend to this (as nominator). I note that half the sources use "Oladosu" as the given name and I've put a query in with the subject via Twitter mail. I've removed the birth date from the article as it wasn't in the source given; that (and the fact that we've got a middle name) makes me believe that she is known to the article creator, and that Oladosu is in fact her family name.

Just confirming that I've heard back from the subject and we've got the naming correct. Schwede 66 21:03, 10 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Close paraphrasing has not been attended to by the nominator or the article creator. Schwede 66 17:46, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Time to nuke this. Schwede 66 20:04, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Schwede66: Looks like they were never notified on their talk page. Their first notification was today from @BlueMoonset:. Let's give them a few days to see if they look at this. — Maile (talk) 20:15, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Maile, is notifications via ping insufficient? Schwede 66 20:40, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Some users have their notification turned off in Preferences. And sometimes the pings don't work like they're supposed to. I just use the notification template in the "Description" above. — Maile (talk) 20:49, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Gosh, you learn something new every day. I know what stops pings from working (and I make sure that I edit accordingly). But I didn't know that you can turn notifications off. Thanks for bringing that to my attentions. Schwede 66 22:31, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Yeah, I didn't get the ping. Feel free to kill this nomination. In the future, I'll only nominate something I'm actually invested in. Thank you so much for your help fixing up the page, Schwede66, and sorry for the trouble. Jlevi (talk) 22:27, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
