FAC tidying
[edit]Hello! Touching base because I find myself with a little bit more time on my hands than I’ve had recently and wondered if there was anything I might lend a hand on as you finalize myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome for FAC. I haven’t been involved in the process before and I’d be curious to learn even just about the routine parts—happy to pitch in with things like ref formatting if that still needs doing. Maybe it’s really already all set but just in case I thought I’d inquire whether there was still help I could offer! Innisfree987 (talk) 08:14, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Innisfree :). Thanks for the offer! I think consistent ref formatting is done, but I have quite a poor eye for it, so would appreciate another pair of eyes. Over the last couple of months, I've been able to reduce the number of citations, removing lower-quality ones, which should make the job easier. English is not my first language; some others have done in-detail prose commenting, but nobody has gone over the new management section, so some feedback on the prose there would also be welcome.
- I hope to nominate later this month, and hoping to get opinions at Wikipedia:Peer review/Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome/archive1 on whether it's ready. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Great, I’ll have a look over both of those! Thanks for the suggestions, and for your remarkable, steady work on this! I’ve really learned a lot for my own editing from the example. Innisfree987 (talk) 08:43, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!
[edit]The Reviewer Barnstar | ||
Given all you have been doing at WP:GA, WP:FA and WP:TCC, this barnstar is long overdue. Keep up the great work! Phlsph7 (talk) 15:51, 16 July 2024 (UTC) |
- Thanks! Hope you didn't mind me going a bit overboard on the ethics review. Fingers crossed it'll attract some more reviewers soon. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I found your ideas on making the article more accessible quite helpful! It's better to be too detailed than too brief, especially with an article of this scope. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:03, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Your sig
[edit]Just wanted to drop you a note to say that I love your sig with the little birdy, but I was a bit concerned at first, because on some screens it looks like somebody took a small bite out of their backside, and I was about to call PETA. :) Viriditas (talk) 23:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Shame on the nefarious browser that would mangle the little bird like that. I can assure you that our two little zebrafinches have an intact backside, and are being treated like the kings they are :). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:12, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]On 18 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Unrest (2017 film), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jennifer Brea directed an Academy Award–shortlisted documentary while bedbound from ME/CFS?

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Unrest (2017 film)), 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
[edit]On your hard work and well deserved achievement. [1] Graham Beards (talk) 19:59, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- And thank you for your help :). Couldn't have done it without support of people much more familiar with medical literature. Now back editing energy articles, which is going much faster. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:01, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Promotion of Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
[edit]- Popping by to say congratulations and thank you for this! It’s so wonderful that a difficult topic is now a source of such high-quality information. Are you thinking of nominating it? I think having it on Main Page now that it’s so good would be a real service! I also wanted to say thank you for such a great intro to FAC—I had really had only limited experience with featured articles until now and learned so much from watching you progress this entry. Really appreciate the contribution across the board! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks :). For noncontroversial articles, or those where the main author has more of a background in the topic at hand, the road to FAC is usually (much) shorter. So if you plan on bringing an article to FAC, it might be much easier.
- I'm torn between nominating now and waiting for May 12 next year. I've missed the opportunity to nominate for October Invisible Disabilities Week, which takes places at the end of October. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, May is a good idea too! Thanks for the perspective on FAC, that makes sense and is definitely a bit less daunting, ha. Innisfree987 (talk) 21:19, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, and it was wonderful accomplishment for all the years that the article was batted back-and-forth with all the controversies. I especially appreciated the editors were able to talk out their differences and compromise to come to consensus. Without your direction and reputation and for being fair and patient that would not have happened IMO. Ward20 (talk) 23:31, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to the club
[edit]The Featured Article Medal | ||
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".

The admin mob
[edit]Was this a typo or a sly comment on RfA? CMD (talk) 09:34, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- That was indeed a typo :). I blame final-obstruent devoicing (p and b are pronounced the same at the end of a word in Dutch, and my brain sometimes gets confused in English). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 11:47, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's never good to put your brain in English. CMD (talk) 13:36, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
