Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.
Thank you!
Hannah Clover
[edit]Hi CR, I was advised to visit WP:DRV, but since you were the closer of the AfD discussion, could you agree with me and delete the current redirect at Hannah Clover, so that the incoming draft I was about to accept, Draft:Hannah Clover, can make its way through? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:30, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Vanderwaalforces: I deleted the redirect so you may technically proceed with the move. Let me know when this is done so I can merge in the old revisions.
- Upon quick examination of the draft, the existence of new sources rules out re-redirection under WP:CSD#G4. I have not researched other sources to conclusively determine whether Hannah is notable now, however. Another editor is free to re-nominate at AfD if they believe she is not notable.

- Thanks for tending to it. I have moved it now, just letting you know for the revmerge. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:44, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi ComplexRational, I've run into an issue with that article. Unfortunately, with the deletion–restoration merge, some of the (previously-deleted) redirect revisions are shuffled in with the new draft revisions. In that light, in my opinion the current state of affairs is untenable: either the overlapping revisions should be redeleted (so effectively there would only be a partial restoration of the previous article/redirect), or all of the previously-G6ed page should be deleted (so only the article created in draftspace on 4 April and its corresponding revisions should stay). You may find WP:PV helpful.
Given that you did the merge, I'll leave it up to you; if you need help sorting through the revisions, I'm also happy to do any deletions or restorations as necessary. Thanks, Sdrqaz (talk) 00:23, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Sdrqaz: I had missed this – thanks for bringing it to my attention. I found the two problematic revisions and re-deleted them, so the page history is now continuous. Complex/Rational 01:58, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

 You are invited to Foundation and Friends' Free Culture Friday at Prime Produce on Friday, April 11. This event will feature a reception with Wikimedia Foundation staff in the afternoon, followed by a more informal salon, hackathon, and game night, utilizing Prime Produce's vast collection of board games. This replaces WikiWednesday Salon this month. No experience of anything at all is required. All are welcome!

[edit]The TASCA '25 program looks interesting. :) Double sharp (talk) 14:07, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- (P.S. You might also like this paper theoretically studying 164Pb.) Double sharp (talk) 14:12, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Double sharp: Thanks for sharing! For many of the conference topics, there are already preprints or publications available, though page 10 of the TASCA program states that 257Sg was studied yet I can't find anything else online indicating that isotope was discovered. Any thoughts on that? Complex/Rational 20:47, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Can't find anything either. Perhaps we have a paper to look forward to. :) Double sharp (talk) 21:19, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- It seems that the study regarding 164Pb is not entirely a new idea: I found this article "On the mass surface and the properties of nuclides close to hypothetical doubly magic lead-164" (2001). Table 2 and Table 3 list decay energies of nuclei close to 164Pb, for example the Qα-value of 164Pb is calculated as (5.04 ± 0.20) MeV or 1.29 MeV, while the Qα-value of 168Po is given as (14.03 ± 1.05) MeV or 16.35 MeV. (Yes I am very much more interested in 168Po. Well a Qα-value of 16.35 MeV may result in an alpha half-life as short as about 10－20 s ~ 10－19 s, but that's still longer than the half-life of 5He). :) 129.104.244.68 (talk) 03:03, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Blitz: 14 editors signed up for our February Copy Editing Blitz. 10 claimed at least one copy-edit and copy-edited 46,749 words in 18 articles. Barnstars awarded are here. Drive: 47 editors signed up for our March Backlog Elimination Drive. 28 claimed at least one copy-edit and copy-edited 479,172 words in 207 articles. Barnstars awarded are here. Blitz: Sign up for our April Copy Editing Blitz, which runs from 13 to 19 April. Barnstars will be awarded here. Progress report: As of 9:45, 12 April 2024 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 89 requests since 1 January 2024, and the backlog stands at 2,264 articles. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Dhtwiki, IQR, Miniapolis, Mox Eden and WikiEditor5678910.
