Glossary of sumo

Hi Civil! First of all, thanks for your contribution on shikona ! I also saw that you've been working on improving the Glossary of sumo terms. Just a heads-up : don't put too much effort into it, since NicheSports and I are currently working on promoting it to FL status ;) I mentioned this a while back on the WP:SUMO talk page, but you might not have joined the project yet. You're welcome to participate and help proofread in my sandbox if you'd like. Right now, I'm working on limiting the damage caused by WP:PEIS :S Cheers ! - OtharLuin (talk) 11:39, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice! Looks like you've already done all the improvements I was doing to the main article. I'll double check if any of the references I found can be added to your sandbox version.

What is FL status? Civilbeard (talk) 00:25, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

It will be my pleasure, do as you like :)

FL stands for Featured List. You can find details about this quality status on the dedicated page : WP:FL. It's nothing more than the highest quality standard for a list on Wikipedia. It's my first time working on this level of quality. - OtharLuin (talk) 06:13, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions. Feel free to further improve your accepted article.

Future articles

• Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without submitting a draft for review. However, you may continue submitting drafts to Articles for creation if you prefer.

• Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

Next steps

• Find other Wikipedia articles related to your topic and add links pointing to the new article. This helps readers find it.
• Group the article with similar subjects by adding relevant categories.
• You may consider nominating a fact from the article within the next 7 days to appear on the Main Page's Did you know section.
• Wikipedia is a work in progress. You can continue to expand and improve the new article.
• The new article will become eligible to be indexed on search engines once patrolled or after 90 days; search engines may take time to reflect this.
• For friendly peer support regarding editing, sourcing, or policies, visit the Teahouse, a question and answer hub for new editors.

Thanks again, and happy editing!
