On 28 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lorrane Oliveira, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lorrane Oliveira. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Lorrane Oliveira), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Pan American Games talk pages

[edit]

I saw your recent edits to the Pan American Games men's gymnastics talk pages for 2023, specifically the addition of the Multi-sport events project. I found that curious as the pages are for gymnastics-specific events and not the games as a whole. I'd love to learn why you felt the need to add these out of curiosity. When I edited them, or in some cases created them, I followed the lead of the most recent Olympics men's gymnastics event talk pages from 2024 which do not include the Multi-sport events projects on them. I would imagine there must appear to be some discrepancy that I'm not understanding. Thanks for any insight you might provide! GauchoDude (talk) 16:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GauchoDude: The Multi-sport events project covers all non-Olympic events including Pan American Games, Commonwealth Games, etc. This also includes all the sports/results pages for these non-Olympic events. Thanks for asking! -Riley1012 (talk) 19:48, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Riley1012: Understood, that makes more sense. Why would the Olympics not also fall under this same umbrella? GauchoDude (talk) 14:41, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@GauchoDude: Not sure, I think this project split off from the Olympics one. -Riley1012 (talk) 18:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024

[edit]

Hello Riley1012:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Grnrchst (talk) & Alanna the Brave (talk)
