Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution

edit

Lovely article. I'd like to nominate it for WP:DYK. What do you think? BorgQueen (talk) 21:58, 4 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello BorgQueen,
Thank you for your comment and proposal. Certainly, please do! If there is a need for further improvement of the article, I would also be happy to help. Jason Lagos (talk) 11:09, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Great! As for the hook, how about: ... that the Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution in Brussels is surmounted by an allegorical figure of Liberty inscribing the days of 23, 24, 25 and 26 September 1830 in her golden book? BorgQueen (talk) 11:52, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
It sounds good to me! Jason Lagos (talk) 11:55, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
OK, I'll be nominating soon. (Sorry I got distracted a bit, hence the delay.) BorgQueen (talk) 03:07, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Done.   BorgQueen (talk) 21:34, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution

edit

On 8 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution is surmounted by a statue of Liberty (pictured) inscribing the days of 23, 24, 25 and 26 September 1830 in a book? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Invitation to join New pages patrol

edit
 

Hello Jason Lagos!

  • The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
  • We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
  • Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
  • Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
  • If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Portal:Brussels

edit

Hi @Jason Lagos,

I think it could be useful to create a portal of all thing Brussels a bit like Portal:London (There used to be one but it was deleted as it was abandoned early on and was missing a lot of stuff). This is quite a big job and I was wondering if you could help me with this endeavor. As I see you are quite active on the Brussels side of Wikipedia.

Don't hesitate to asked me more questions of you have them.

Have a nice day,

JhowieNitnek. Jhowie_Nitnek (talk) 19:58, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi again Jhowie and thanks for your proposal. Although I would be more than happy to support your efforts, I would be cautious about attempting this. Not only is portal creation a big endeavour, as you mentioned, but Wikipedia is actually quite strict about portal maintenance and traffic. In short, the creation of portals should be limited to topics that will garner significant interest and dedicated maintainers, to prevent their removal. I can only imagine that the failure to meet those requirements was the reason why the old Brussels portal was abandoned and merged into Portal:Belgium. Wishing you a good night, too!
