Citation placement
editHi! Thank so much for all the citations you have been adding - it is super helpful! Just a reminder that per the Manual of Style, inline citations at the end of the sentence should go after the period, not before it. I have corrected a few of these but please try to keep an eye out for it in the future. Thanks again and happy citing! Best, Kazamzam (talk) 16:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ack, thank you for letting me know, and for working to fix it! Fluorescent Jellyfish (talk) 22:09, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
marking edits as minor
edit
Hi Fluorescent Jellyfish! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. DoctorMatt (talk) 20:33, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know! :) Fluorescent Jellyfish (talk) 22:08, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
Women in Red
editHi there, Fluorescent Jellyfish, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you are interested in improving our coverage of historical women. I see you have suddenly become very active, creating no less than five new articles in just one day. You've done a pretty good job on Naunakhte but there might be a case for merging it with Will of Naunakhte. When creating further biographies you might find it useful to look through our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

he doesn't think the walrus is a real source
editI'm under the impression that it is rather well-respected, no? Elinruby (talk) 13:12, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed it is. Fluorescent Jellyfish (talk) 19:11, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Here are some other sources, too (as I did that reversion at like 4 in the morning, and now I have time to be more in-depth).
- So, one of the authors of the article he used as a source (the one from C2C) is Tom Flanagan. Tom Flanagan is a well-known Residential School apologist.
- For instance this article describes him as:
- "Tom Flanagan, a former adviser to Stephen Harper and a long-time critic of Indigenous rights who has described residential schools as a “visionary program.”"
- Here's another article discussing Tom Flanagan as part of the general far-right conspiracy to deny Residential School atrocities.
- And here is an article from the CBC discussing Tom Flanagan's book (which is a massive piece of residential school denialism and allegedly *genocide denialism*). The article focused on the reasons and circumstances around the book being denounced by Quesnel city council. (that's also a good article for or info re: the situation, particularly the UN's funding recommendations)
- Where is he commenting that he doesn't think the Walrus is a real source? I'm primarily on mobile right now, and can't seem to locate where he's commenting. Fluorescent Jellyfish (talk) 19:35, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- It is an edit summary somewhere in this madness. I will try to find it. Another problem, which I can't do anything about right now and would like to note here if you don't mind: Talk:2021_Canadian_church_burnings. I am pretty overdue on some other stuff Elinruby (talk) 12:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

DCWC closing update
editThe 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, 
Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; 
BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, 
Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!
In addition to his spot in the top three, BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! 
Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.
The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...
We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.
