Signups open for The Core Contest

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—will take place this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24.

If you wish to start or stop receiving news about The Core Contest, please add or remove yourself from the delivery list.

Please review my article about William Jay Schieffelin

Hello members of WikiProject Biography,

I would like to get your opinion on how best to structure my article about William Jay Schieffelin.

In my opinion, the article is unconventionally, but appropriately structured. Therefore, I like the article and would prefer to leave it as it is.

But I am also open to your suggestions for improvement and could change the article.

So, check out my article!

Thanks, and best regards, Michael MichaelScheufele (talk) 10:21, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Problems with New User

Hey everyone, I've run into some issues with a new user over at Taylor Hagler who is convinced that biographical information shouldn't be included in the infobox. I've already reverted once and left a note at their talk page but I'd like to avoid an edit war if at all possible -- I'm concerned that things are headed in that direction. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction regarding next steps? SmackJam (talk) 00:26, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
