Rehese Giffard

Dear Ealdgyth. Thank you very much for the the Barnstar of Diligence, only my 2nd barnstar, which I have probably not merited, as I found afterwards that I have forgotten about the misplaced "Use British English" and "Use dmy dates" templates that appear below the References section in the article but should, according to MOS:LAYOUT, appear above the Infobox. Please quickly correct this before somebody sees it. I am sorry that I still had to bother you with such a request after the passing of the GA. With many thanks for your kindness and best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 07:07, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Battle of Shiloh

Hello Ealdgyth—I want to simply get your opinion on the Battle of Shiloh. This article at one time was a Featured Article, but it has been demoted to C-Class. I plan to upgrade it to Good Article. I have five source books sitting on my desk right now. The article currently gets over 30,000 views (yes, 30,000) per month. My plan, like I did with the Battle of the Wilderness, is to complete the replacement article in a sandbox—then let people from WikiProject Military history look it over before I replace a vital article with so many views. It seems to me that the current article is "bloated" with way too much detail, but the argument against removing some of the bloat is the huge number of views. I definitely think the two maps under Background and plans are awful, some of the sketches do not add anything, and the Honors and commemoration section does not belong. Those have to go, in my opinion. (I have already started working on the article in my sandbox2, but I need to go back and replace some of the citations that use the Official Record instead of a source book.) What do you think about the extra detail currently in the Battle of Shiloh article? TwoScars (talk) 16:04, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 July newsletter

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  • Zulu (International Code of Signals) BennyOnTheLoose, with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
  • Kingdom of Scotland Bloom6132, with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
  • Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Father O'Flynn

Hi, I'm popping up here in the understanding that you dabble in horses and horseracing here. I'm writing up an article for Gordon Chesney Wilson, an army officer who owned Father O'Flynn, the winner of the 1892 Grand National. I don't have much on either the horse or the backstory of Wilson's ownership of it, and wonder if you might know of any good sources that might discuss it?
