I must say that I am surprised, because Suriname articles get no coverage whatsoever in the international media except for a very notable individual. Thanks for your help, because it is a nice article now. KittenKlub (talk) 19:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for quality articles about elections around the Caribbean such as 1974 Vincentian general election and 2020 Belizean general election, for Meenakshi Pahuja and Bernard Fils-Aimé, for highlighting persons who recently died, for adding images such as Jutta Lampe's, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

births/deaths

Thanks for your edit to update the births and deaths for January 26. I'm afraid I could only use Bessie Coleman. Henry Briggs (mathematician) has too many paragraph without citations, and the "Death" section of Khorloogiin Choibalsan (the very reason he's being featured) lacks any references. I've tagged both articles, making them ineligible. Please don't let this discourage you, however. I always appreciate the assistance in finding new articles. One other note for future reference: please do not delete the previous year's articles. Instead, please move them to the staging area so that they can be used again later. Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 19:20, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you are familiar with both the ITN and DYK processes. Just keep in mind that articles selected for OTD should be of similar quality, although I think we let you get away with more {{cn}} tags at OTD than the other two. Thanks again. —howcheng {chat} 19:22, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lord make us strong

Herr, mach uns stark, can we please talk about the hook, instead of just making changes to an approved version? I have been criticised for unhooky hooks, and now I had something quite unusual, and we loose it? - I haven't heard of a hymn initiated by a composer wanting a certain melody, - please bring that fact back, in whatever wording. Also, define "hymn repertoire", please, and for songs it might be a simple "repertory", I guess. The hymn didn't enter the repertory, sadly. It's there, it's great, but not frequently sung. - In general, I like your work on hooks, don't forget ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:59, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My sincerest apologies, Gerda! I had gotten a bit carried away with the guidelines (N10 specifically) on my first time at the prep area. I have restored the hook to your original version. No offence intended to Mr. Zimmermann either :) Joofjoof (talk) 10:32, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DYK Prep 1 pringle tug

Hi Joofjoof, I noticed you promoted a number of hooks to the prep areas. I was looking at prep one, specifically Template:Did you know nominations/Robert C. Pringle (tug), and thought it to be particularly uninteresting compared to the others, especially for an image slot. I was wondering if you might switch it (I was looking at Template:Did you know nominations/Thomas Ashburton Picken earlier and it has a nice image) and we could request new hooks for the Pringle nomination. Interested in your thoughts. Best, CMD (talk) 08:03, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chipmunkdavis, that sounds like a fair suggestion: the Pringle image looks deserving of a feature, so catchier hooks would be welcome. I'll reopen its nom; feel free to add a new one in its place.Joofjoof (talk) 08:29, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, apparently another one has already been added. CMD (talk) 11:28, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this. It's been bothering me for a few days—ever since I saw you'd created a bio for Eden—that I couldn't remember the name of the CFCA.

Dance

I just completed nl:dans in Suriname today, which was actually a quite time consuming one :-) When talking about dances one seems to be distracted quickly by thinking about music instead. So I really needed to focus and to keep on the trail of dances. I've got some articles on Surinam dance(ers) left to write in the coming week(s), which may change the article still a bit. But if you like the subject, this may be a good tip for giving an English language counterpart as well, after about some weeks. But please always don't do so if don't you feel this is a good subject for you. In fact, I just wanted to share someone that Wikipedia has this one now too Take care and best regards, Ymnes (talk) 20:38, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ymnes, this article looks very nice! It will be a good companion to Music of Suriname, showing the roots of these music styles. I will keep it in my watchlist. All the best, Joofjoof (talk) 09:59, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I had some possible additions, but I think it's o.k. by now. I wish you a nice weekend Joofjoof! Ymnes (talk) 19:39, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Today, I still found some minor things, I'm sorry :-) Ymnes (talk) 21:18, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, Ymnes! I can change it :) Could you add a reference for the Chinese section too? Joofjoof (talk) 21:47, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good to read! When the Chinese section is concerned, I wrote what I know. I can't find a source that exactly describes it, but I didn't want to have the article without it. Ymnes (talk) 22:32, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we weren't lucky with DYK, however thank you very much with the English version of Dance in Suriname! Take care, Ymnes (talk) 22:16, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome Ymnes! Fear not, our DYK nomination is still open; getting a review takes time. Joofjoof (talk) 06:00, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flooding

Hoi Joofjoof, how are you doing? I would like to mention that I have written nl:Overstromingen in Suriname 2022 (flooding in Suriname) today. Maybe it is interesting to you. The cause is La Niña, I read in my sources. There was a mention too that there were floodings in more countries, but I'm not sure about that. Just in case. Have a nice day! Ymnes (talk) 16:00, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hoi Ymnes, I am well, thanks! This is an important article - I have translated it here: March 2022 Suriname flooding. Hopefully it will subside soon. Joofjoof (talk) 12:11, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Man camp

Hi Joofjoof, I noticed you flagged the article Man camp for bias toward North America. I'm mostly familiar with this term being used for resource extraction projects in USA and Canada, but I'm sure there are similar terms and similar issues related to projects elsewhere. If you can point me toward relevant sources covering resource extraction on other continents, I'd love to check them out. In English or Spanish is fine. Thanks, Larataguera (talk) 01:37, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the tag for now. this is going through the DYK process. Add it back on, if you must, after it gets through DYK. --evrik ^(talk) 22:43, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Larataguera, I put the flag initially due to community conflict with resource-extraction camps also occurring in other places, especially the garimpeiros in South America [1][2]. This may become a separate article (with further research). Joofjoof (talk) 00:19, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Joofjoof. These are interesting sources. I don't think they could go into the article on Man camps, because they don't use that term--although it's obviously a related topic. I think these could go into Mining in Brazil to start. And then maybe you're right about another article eventually. Anyway, I still haven't seen the term 'man camp' used outside North America, though I suppose it might be. Thanks for sharing! Larataguera (talk) 21:16, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

Thanks for the Nauru pictures

@Joofjoof: Hello. Thanks for all the pictures of Nauruan MPs! I noticed you also nominated the section on the 2023 presidential election I wrote. Thanks for that too, even if it seems like that's not gaining traction.

I truly appreciate your efforts to improve coverage of Nauru on Wikipedia. Its been a pet project of mine for a while, and its nice to see new faces in the Nauru Wikipedia-sphere. Any more free-use pictures you could find of Nauruan politicians in Taiwan would be greatly appreciated. I'm especially thankful for your picture of Gabrissa Hartman. It was a thorn in my side that we didn't have a picture of such a notable Nauruan person. RoundSquare (talk) 16:56, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
