DYK for Booming Ben
[edit]On 7 February 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Booming Ben, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the death of the heath hen Booming Ben marked the first time that biologists observed the extinction of a species firsthand? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Booming Ben. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Booming Ben), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

Hi! I saw that you rated the article Chlorurus frontalis as Start last year. Can you please reassess it, because I think it fulfills all the B class article criteria. Thank you! TrueMoriarty Talk | Contribs 15:12, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, TrueMoriarty! At present, I do not think Chlorurus frontalis meets the B-class article criteria. Based on content, I believe it still qualifies as Start-class (maybe C-class). I'd be fine with you requesting a third opinion, though. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 19:25, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – February 2026
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2026).
- Due to the result of a recent motion, a rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may impose an expanded topic ban on Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs, if an editor's Arab-Israeli conflict topic ban is determined to be insufficient to prevent disruption. At least one diff per area expanded into should be cited.

Hello Significa liberdade!
[edit]How are you doing? A page created by me, named "Anthwal" was recently deleted by you. It had recent history, and a bit of very common and accepted folklore. I even provided citations wherever I could, and added comments while editing as well. I am unable to understand the reason for it's deletion. Could you please let me know? Thanks!
Regards, Anurag Anurag Anthwal (talk) 05:04, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, Anurag Anthwal! Thank you for reaching out with your concern. The page was deleted because Wikipedia has special rules surrounding castes in India. Per these rules, which you were informed of in August, people who have fewer than 500 edits on the English Wikipedia cannot edit topics related to castes in India. This is to address ongoing edit disputes in this topic area. Because you have fewer than 500 edits, you are unable to edit in this topic area, which is why this article was deleted. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any further questions. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 07:43, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
How to improve my self
[edit]How to improve myself to contribute in Wikipedia? RifatHasan25 (talk) 19:08, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
- My first piece of advice would be to refrain from using an LLM, such as ChatGPT, at all when contributing to Wikipedia. LLMs are known to produce inaccurate information. Furthermore, as a new editor, creating new articles is one of the most challenging tasks you can take on. I would suggest reviewing Wikipedia's guide to getting started, as well as the task list, which provides many tasks and the skill level required. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 20:46, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
Suggestion needed
[edit]Kindly help me by assisting. I have three doubts regarding NPP review.
First: An article on WP:GEOLAND, I feel census data is necessary to prove it as populated area. And the burden should be on creator. Am I wrong here?
Second: Even if a politician is notable per WP:NPOL is single sourced articles are acceptable to mark as reviewed?
Third: If I am interested to remove non-RS and add RS references, and if I do and someone reverts my edits, what should I do? Can I mark as unreviewed or send to new pages feed? I see there is no rule that NPP can't expand, update an unreviewed article. SatnaamIN (talk) 07:17, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for reaching out, SaTnamZIN! Here are my initial thoughts:
- I am not as familiar with GEOLAND requirements as with others. To my knowledge, census data is not necessary, though census data is satisfactory to established notability. Beyond that, I'm uncertain.
- Generally, I mark politicians who meet NPOL as reviewed even if they only have a single source, though I will tag with {{BLP one source}} (unless it's not a BLP, where {{one source}} is adequate). However, I will always check the source to ensure it verifies the claim and will usually do a quick Google search to see if other sources exist. In my mind, the goal of NPP is to check is new articles are suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia -- not to check perfection. If someone clearly meets NPOL, that aligns with the goal. A maintenance tag will help make sure additional sources are added. That said, if you want to add additional sources first, please do so!
- This third point has two questions, so I'll treat it as two points. I would treat this change (reverting an edit) like any other reversion, with some caveats. First, I would check the edit history to see when the reversion was made and by whom. Sometimes, an editor (especially new editors) will be working on an article and run into an edit conflict, which overwrites the changes you made. In this case, I would just manually restore my changes (not revert, just add back the sources). Outside of this, I would bring up the issue to the editor in question either on the article's talk page or the user's talk page, depending on what makes the most sense. Calmly and kindly state that you recently replaced non-RS with RS, which was reverted, then ask if there was a reason for this. Come into this openminded and with good faith. A lot of times, the issue can be resolved quickly. If this change was shortly after you marked it as reviewed, I would follow-through on the conversation first, rather than mark it as unreviewed -- unless you don't care to bother with it or you want a second opinion. If you think the article no longer deserves to be marked as reviewed, you can mark it as unreviewed.
- NPPers can absolutely improve articles. I do it a lot! Especially when I find an article in my subject area that could use work. If nothing else, I can add a few reliable sources before marking as reviewed. The overarching goal is to have a valuable encyclopedic resource, and NPP plays a big role in that!
- These thoughts are my own and do not necessarily represent those of the NPP community as a whole. I'd be happy to hear from others if there are any talk page stalkers out there interested in responding. :) If you have any follow-up questions, comments, and/or concerns, let me know.

Draftification
[edit]In the future, please do not draftify any pages that I create such as ÖBB Long Schlieren. That article was unfinished and does need more references (which I plan to add) but it’s not like it is too lacking in context to be a stub, or would fail a WP:BEFORE web search due to insufficient coverage existing; in my opinion the latter point matters more than the sourcing initially present in the article when dealing with something like a train, or especially an inherently notable topic like a town or species, as opposed to a BLP or company article with a sub-household-name claim of notability in the text. I don’t personally use draftification at all (apart from one time when I moved a WIP translation that hadn’t even been started); I’d like to think I’ve been here long enough to know my way around notability but if I ever do end up creating a page on a non-notable subject I’d rather have it be taken to AFD.

Thanks for uploading File:Maizy Chen’s Last Chance.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. thejiujiangdragon (TJD) TALK/CONTRIBS 22:41, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

[edit]The first round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As some of you may have noticed, good article nomination reviews now receive 10 points, an increase from 5 points in the previous year, as per a consensus at WT:CUP. This point increase has been retroactively applied to all good article reviews for which competitors have claimed points in this round. Peer reviews, which continue to be worth 5 points, are now listed in the same section as featured article candidate reviews, rather than with good article reviews. Everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.
Round 1 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 300 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:
Bgsu98 (submissions) with 1,467 round points, largely gained from 1 featured article, 5 featured lists, 15 good articles, and 42 FAC and GAN reviews;
Olliefant (submissions) with 1,246 round points, largely from 4 featured lists, 9 good articles, 2 featured topic articles, 4 did you know articles, and 75 FAC and GAN reviews;
Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, largely from 3 featured articles, 6 good articles, and 5 did you know articles;
MCE89 (submissions) with 848 round points, largely from 1 featured article, 8 good articles, 1 did you know article, and 32 FAC and GAN reviews; and
Rollinginhisgrave (submissions) with 838 round points, largely from 1 featured article, 8 good articles, 1 did you know article, and 14 FAC, GAN, and peer reviews.
The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 7 featured articles, 16 featured lists, 2 featured-topic articles, 168 good articles, 13 good-topic articles and more than 50 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 14 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 700 reviews. The tournament points table will be updated within the next few days.
Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Advice on photos for disability-related articles
[edit]Hi, I'm ThirteenStandardJupiters, I found your page on the Disability Wikiproject. I am a new Wikipedia/Wikidata editor so forgive me if I am missing anything obvious. I was inspired by the group Positive Exposure to look into changing the photos on disability-related articles to make them more person-centered rather than the very clinical and outdated images found on many articles (especially ones about rare diseases). However, I'm not sure how to find more suitable pictures that fall under Wikipedia's licensing guidelines. Do you have any advice? ThirteenStandardJupiters (talk) 00:07, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hi there, ThirteenStandardJupiters, and thank you for reaching out! I don't do much work with uploading images (aside from book covers), so I'm not as familiar with all the ins and outs of the licensing guidelines. I'll see if I can find someone who is a bit more experienced in that area. In the meantime, I recommend reviewing Wikipedia's Image Use Policy. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 17:17, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
- @ThirteenStandardJupiters Images must allow commercial use and modification. This generally means you're looking for a Creative Commons license like "CC BY-SA", or something less restrictive (fewer letters) like "CC BY". CC licenses with "NC" or "ND" are not allowed. Alternatively, the image could be really old or made by the US government, which would put it in the public domain.
- You can search for images on Wikimedia Commons, which is where most images used on Wikipedia are hosted. Alternatively, you can use another image search engine, like Flickr [1], DuckDuckGo, or Google Images, and then upload what you find to Wikimedia Commons. In each of these search engines you can filter by copyright license: On Flickr, there is a dropdown that says "Any license", which you can change to "Commercial use & mods allowed". DuckDuckGo is similar. On Google, it's under "Tools" > "Usage rights" > "Creative Commons licenses", though you'll still have to check whether it's the right kind of Creative Commons license. Some YouTube videos are also freely licensed, so frames downloaded from those are also allowed.
- Wikimedia Commons also has lists of sources for free images at c:Commons:Free media resources, such as c:Commons:Free media resources/Photography. I'm not sure how helpful these are, but you can take a look.
- If you find a really great image that isn't free, you can contact the creator to ask if they're willing to license the image for use on Wikipedia; this may require the help of the Volunteer Response Team.
