Hi, I see you're interested in Medieval history, would you possibly be interested in a taskforce on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 20:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

TFA

Thank you today for Jersey Act, introduced (in 2010): "I am nominating this for featured article because... it's not a bishop! Or a horse! Actually, it's horse related. Although one of the more obscure episodes in Thoroughbred history, it details an attempt by the English Thoroughbred breeding establishment to ensure the "purity" of their breed. However, it never really worked as they intended, and eventually was repealed. Although it's popularly known as an "Act" it was never actually legislation, just a rule for the registration of horses, not enforced by any governmental authority. It's been copyedited by Malleus, who also graciously helped with the English research on the subject. Photos should be good, as I took one and the other is from 1857! Malleus should be considered a co-nom."! - I miss Eric. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:08, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Greetings, can I ask for a bit of help with assessing certain popcultural sources in this FAC? I am wondering if they meet the "high-quality" prong. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:56, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

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
