Hey, I've deleted this redirect as it was a cross-namespace redirect not permitted by WP:R2. The U: prefix does not actually put a page in the user namespace. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:34, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for letting me know! User:Thatoneweirdwikier | Oh, Toodles! 17:47, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Hey there! You may remember me from your recent failed FAC for The Now Now where I suggested that you add a song-by-song composition section to the page. Incidentally, I was looking through some of my old files recently and happened to find a rough draft of a section like this for that exact article (admittedly with some tracks missing) that I started working on some time before the FAC; you can check it out here. Hope this helps you in your efforts. Philroc (c) 12:44, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

That's amazing – thanks very much! User:Thatoneweirdwikier | Conversations and Contributions 12:50, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to thank you for all of your contributions to "Hollaback Girl". It's the final song from L.A.M.B. to become GA status on Wikipedia so it's nice to see. I noticed you have plans to renominate Wikipedia:Featured topics/Love. Angel. Music. Baby. and I am here to ask you if you wouldn't mind joint-nominating it. I helped bring articles like "Harajuku Girls", "The Real Thing", "Serious", and "Long Way to Go" to GA status and I would love to assist in the next step. Let me know and once again, thanks for your contributions. Carbrera (talk) 21:37, 21 June 2020 (UTC).

Thanks for asking, but I've already nominated it. However, I can put you down as a nominator, if you wish. User:Thatoneweirdwikier | Conversations and Contributions 04:29, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

I would appreciate that. Carbrera (talk) 12:51, 22 June 2020 (UTC).

Hello:

Thank you for your copy edit of the article "Lovely (Billie Eilish and Khalid song)" requested at the Guild of Copy Editors.

While your edits improved the article there were still problems with its wording, the way the sentences flowed, verb tense and punctuation. The song's tempo also needed clarification. I invite you to have a look at the article's edit history to see the additional changes I made during my edits. I'm sure you would have caught these issues if you had worked more slowly. According to the time stamps you spent eight minutes working on the article. This is simply not enough time to do the article justice.

Before you undertake a copy edit of another GOCE request you might find it helpful to review these pages which provide useful information:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simplified_Manual_of_Style

If you have any questions while you're editing, I'd be happy to try to answer them.

Thanks for the extra notes. This was my first GOCE copyedit in a while so I think I was a bit rusty. User:Thatoneweirdwikier | Conversations and Contributions 14:05, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You can't restore the nonsense content. Don't do that. 107.77.189.39 (talk) 18:50, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

I reverted your edits because you removed someone else's stuff off of their talk page. That is why I gave you this warning. User:Thatoneweirdwikier | Conversations and Contributions 19:01, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
• The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
• Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

On 3 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hollaback Girl, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Gwen Stefani's song "Hollaback Girl" was the first single ever to sell more digital downloads than CDs? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hollaback Girl. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Hollaback Girl), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello, Thatoneweirdwikier. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for The Now Now at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:55, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

You need to put |A-Class=current after the class=GA field to get the bot to pick up your nomination.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 10:40, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

• I have done that. User:Thatoneweirdwikier | Conversations and Contributions 14:11, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
