Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

On 29 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article So American, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that "So American" is considered the first love song in Olivia Rodrigo's discography by critics? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/So American. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, So American), 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.

Congratulations! Epicgenius (talk) 16:57, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Looks like the final round was extremely tough.--NØ 20:01, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey nice work on this. Regarding the DYK nom, I wanted to review it, but honestly none of the hooks stand out as interesting to me. It doesn't sound like you want to add more content or create new hooks, but if there's something you can do to add other hooks, I would consider reviewing it. Viriditas (talk) 21:34, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just go ahead and review it and make a note. Viriditas (talk) 21:58, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Viriditas (talk) 22:51, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, MaranoFan. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "To the Moon".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 09:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
