Precious anniversary

Precious

Two years!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:55, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Oh wow, two years already?! Time flies. How have you been? I'm afraid I haven't been as active on Wikipedia as I used to be, but luckily I've found many other hobbies to keep me busy offline. :-) Edge3 (talk) 10:05, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Illinois Freedom of Information Act

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Illinois Freedom of Information Act 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 Shushugah -- Shushugah (talk) 21:42, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Illinois Freedom of Information Act

The article Illinois Freedom of Information Act you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Illinois Freedom of Information Act for comments about the article, and Talk:Illinois Freedom of Information Act/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Mother Parish of the Apostle Santiago

You're good at this, I will offer joint author credit if you can help with the sourcing issue on this nomination Template:Did you know nominations/Mother Parish of the Apostle Santiago (Los Realejos). I have just been too busy to go back through all the Spanish language sources. --evrik ^(talk) 00:12, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

@Evrik: Thanks for the compliment! I'm not sure if I'll have time to look at that article in time for the Special Occasion request. At this point I'm just trying to make sure your seven approved hooks are ready to go. Edge3 (talk) 00:18, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

• Template:Did_you_know/Preparation_area_7 is now open ... So ... :-) --evrik ^(talk) 21:26, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

These exist:

{{Did you know nominations/Berenguela Tower}}

{{Did you know nominations/Elene Lete}} -Spanish Women's soccer, already approved.

--evrik ^(talk) 03:21, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

• @Evrik: I promoted the soccer hook. If there's anything else that needs to be done, I can try to take a look tomorrow. Do you want to keep the lighthouse as an image hook, or would you rather have everything in one set? If the latter, let me know which image you prefer.

I'm going to bed. Good night! Edge3 (talk) 03:36, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

• One set would be fine, but whatever. :-) Berenguela Tower is approved --evrik ^(talk) 14:47, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

I was thinking ... since Template:Did you know/Preparation area 4, is complete ... I may not want to wake any more sleeping dogs ... but ...

How does this sound:

• ... that when the Feast of Saint James falls on a Sunday, that year is designated a Jacobean Holy Year, with the Holy Door (pictured) at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is unblocked for all to enter, and the Berenguela Tower's lantern lit as a lighthouse to guide pilgrims to the cathedral?
• ... that when the Feast of Saint James falls on a Sunday, that year is designated a Jacobean Holy Year, with the Berenguela Tower's lantern lit as a lighthouse to guide pilgrims to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, and the Holy Door (pictured) at the cathedral unblocked for all to enter?

You could move Way of the Lighthouses into the newly opened spot. Thoughts? --evrik ^(talk) 16:40, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

@Evrik: Berenguela Tower was nominated separately, so I'm not sure how the bot would handle credits for a combined hook. Also, you can post your requests to WT:DYK since that's where we're coordinating all of the special occasion requests. Edge3 (talk) 17:48, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

my story today

Thank you for assembling the miraculous DYK set around Santiago on his day, - I did my modest share with my story today, describing what I just experienced, pictured. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:40, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: The work was all orchestrated by @Evrik! I was happy to help out.

Coincidentally, this article about the Way of St. James just popped up on my news feed this morning, in time for World Youth Day 2023. Edge3 (talk) 15:05, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you both, by the comments made over at DYK, you'd think I'd set someone's house on fire. :-) --evrik ^(talk) 15:11, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

I came to say that I thanked you first ;) - but that it takes someone bold to support the orchestration. I set a house on fire twice here, once when a hook I had approved, ... that "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today"? appeared on Easter Sunday (and they wanted to desysop the admin who had promoted it), and when I suggested that an infobox - not wanted for Richard Wagner - could stay on his talk (which wasn't even my idea). I know the feeling. (Listening to his Parsifal, broadcast from Bayreuth) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:20, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the support. I'm not going to sweat this. I think we should do more of this. --evrik ^(talk) 15:36, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

That's good! - Today Jahrhundertring, and I'm listening now to Götterdämmerung from the Bayreuth Festival, - the image (of a woman who can't believe what she has to see) features also on the article talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:13, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks again

Hey, I wanted to thank you again for your contributions and insight with the Scottish Prayer Book (1637) DYK. I had multiple friends in Edinburgh today who I got to talk to and share the fact with. If you're interested in a comedic version of what the DYK described, I post this video on my social medias as something of an annual tradition. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 06:10, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Pbritti: It was my pleasure to help you! I LOVE that video! Thanks so much for sharing it. I like that version of the story better ;-)

Do your friends in Edinburg know about the DYK hook? If so, I think it's pretty cool that you share it. I don't often share my Wikipedia work with my friends; sometimes I wonder if I should. Edge3 (talk) 00:42, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm glad you liked the video! I almost always share when I've created a new article. I've found a small group of people on a few different sites who enjoy the same subjects I do (Colorado and liturgical history) and even met a handful people that I've helped become Wikipedia editors; my work on Hermann Heuvers was a collaboration with one of those people! The next article I made, Joseph Anciaux, was a suggestion from an online friend who felt he deserved more than just a short article in Walloon. I hope to see you around, and please feel welcome to ask me to do anything you need help with here on the project! ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:53, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

@Pbritti That's awesome! I've shared my work on Illinois Freedom of Information Act and Dan Cronin in the past, but only to friends who share the same political interests that I do. Other than that, I find that my work on Wikipedia isn't exactly the best conversation starter. We have a very niche hobby. :-P To give you an idea, my offline hobbies include exercise, going to the beach, and hanging out at the dance floor. Not sure how my on-wiki life will fit in, lol.

DYK for Jamie Kalven

On 4 August 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jamie Kalven, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Chicago journalist Jamie Kalven (pictured) has amassed a database of nearly 250,000 allegations against police officers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jamie Kalven. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jamie Kalven), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

		By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this special, very exclusive award created just for we few, we happy few, this band of brothers, who have shed sweat, tears and probably blood, in order to be able to proudly claim "I too have taken an article to Featured status". Gog the Mild (talk) 19:35, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

@Gog the Mild How kind of you! Thanks so much – that was fun! I think you can expect to see me again at FAC at some point in the future. :-) Edge3 (talk) 21:05, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Good. I hope you don't leave it too long. (I like the look of City of Champaign v. Madigan.) Gog the Mild (talk) 21:16, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

@Gog the Mild What an interesting suggestion. I felt that City of Champaign v. Madigan and Illinois Public Access Opinion 16-006 were rather short to warrant FA status. Of course, I used every reference I could find, so I really can't expand the articles further. I am of the opinion that FAs usually have a certain degree of complexity or depth in the topic, but maybe I misunderstand the underlying philosophy behind FAs. But if you feel differently, I could consider submitting them at FAC. Edge3 (talk) 21:30, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't usually pay attention to article length other than overly long ones. But Madigan at 1,850 words compares well with one which stuck in my memory from 2022 - Pronunciation of GIF with 1,895 words; which had 1,742 words when nominated. I don't recall GIF getting any grief over its brevity. I have queried another editor to see if there have been shorter recent noms. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:53, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Mike Christie has volunteered Battle Birds (1,275 words) and Science Fiction Adventures (1956 magazine) (1,175), both promoted last year. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:10, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Very helpful! Thanks for the feedback. Edge3 (talk) 23:42, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

We were tempting fate. Lokrume helmet fragment is currently at FAC and is 474 words long. . Gog the Mild (talk) 17:17, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations, and thank you today for Jamie Kalven, introduced: "Jamie Kalven never intended to be known as a "guerrilla journalist" in Chicago. He was initially planning to become a foreign correspondent in Asia, but the sudden death of his father, a legal scholar at the University of Chicago, set him on a path towards writing about freedom of speech, public housing, and civil liberties issues. His reporting helped uncover police misconduct surrounding the murder of Laquan McDonald by an officer, and he founded a non-profit that has catalogued nearly 250,000 other allegations against police officers. One of his lawsuits, Kalven v. City of Chicago, became a landmark decision involving the public records statute in Illinois." --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:00, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, about "an Illinois court case interpreting the state’s public records law. After a city council meeting in Champaign, Illinois, during which public officials were sending private messages on their personal electronic devices, a journalist asked for copies of those communications. The city denied the request, and the case worked its way through administrative review and the courts. The Illinois Appellate Court ordered the release of the records, and the decision was the first in Illinois to hold that private messages were subject to public disclosure."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:27, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Chicago Meetup for Wikidata Day

Hello! This is User:Luiysia (IRL name is Kelly). My main interests are fashion, music, literature, and history. I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing and I found that there has been very little activity from the Chicago Wikipedia user group since 2020.

I'd like to host a casual meetup in Chicago to celebrate Wikidata Day on Saturday, October 26.

Proposed location is Engine Coffee in the Wicker Park/West Town area, at 11AM.

Here is the official meetup page, where you can add yourself as an attendee.
