A barnstar for you!

		The Spoken Barnstar
		Thank you for recording a new spoken recording for the Earth article. A great contribution for Earth Day, and it must have been a lot of work, given the length and quality of the article. Ganesha811 (talk) 13:46, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder

Hi, I noticed you are listed as contributing a spoken article for Moon on Wikipedia:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia/Currently recording. This is a reminder as it's been over two weeks. --JJLiu112 (talk) 06:45, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reminder! Progress with that is pretty slow, as there were a bunch of mistakes and mispronunciations and random noises in the original recording, but I'm still working on it. I'll do a bit more over the next few days, and hopefully get it finished. :) Thrownfootfalls (talk) 10:30, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Signups open for The Core Contest

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—will take place this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24.

If you wish to start or stop receiving news about The Core Contest, please add or remove yourself from the delivery list.

You're great!

Well done on some great audio recordings! Just out of interest, can you see how many times they are listened to? Our2050World 🌏 (talk) 19:07, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much! If there's a way to check, I'm afraid I don't know it. Thrownfootfalls (talk) 14:43, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could you do one for the net zero article - might not be now as I think it might have some refinement (quite new). Also I wasn't trying to warm you up with my complement -it's sincere! Our2050World 🌏 (talk) 16:17, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Core Contest winners announced

The winners of the 2023 The Core Contest are announced 🎉. We had an amazing set of improvements this year, and the judges (Femke, Aza24 and Casliber) would like to thank everybody who joined and congratulate the winners.

First place goes to Buidhe for improving The Holocaust; very core, highly relevant; their work on bringing geographical balance to the article puts the topic in a whole different light. We also commend improvements to sourcing and prose
A close second place goes to Phlsph7 for improving Education from an unstructured jumble into a well-sourced piece of instruction
Third prize goes to Johnbod for improving Donatello, a near five-fold expansion with great sourcing and fantastic imagery
A tie for fourth place goes to Thebiguglyalien for improving Crime, for a strong improvement in sourcing
A tie for fifth place goes to Sammielh for International law, improved by converting contextless listicles into a proper sourced prose

An Article Spoken Request

Saw some of your Wiki Spoken contributions, most notably the Antartica article wanted to ask if you could possibly go beyond out of your way to contribute to the Haile Selassie I article which is very large in size. I believe if such a task is completed may get the article featured status but i need your help, Thank you very much. CtasACT (talk) 20:55, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
