The Notorious B.I.G. nominated at FAR

I have nominated The Notorious B.I.G. for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:48, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject African diaspora:

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!

Michael Eric Dyson

Hello there. I am editing regarding the article on Michael Eric Dyson. I noticed some trivia about Dyson and Nancy Mace that was not sourced well, so I removed it. It was added back in with some more questionable sourcing - a Mediaite article and a youtube video. I think that according to Wikipedia policy, both of those sources are problematic, especially when no one else is reporting on the Mace/Dyson alleged interaction. I think it's too trivial to include in an encyclopedia. Please look for yourself, thank you. Oliver Phile (talk) 16:58, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I looked at what you removed, and I would say the removal is justified, per WP:BLPGOSSIP and WP:GRAPEVINE, at the very minimum. Historyday01 (talk) 22:31, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Oliver Phile, thank you for clearing that mess. Would you also fancy finding sources to fill the {{citation needed}} tags? Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 21:25, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
