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).

DYK for Letterpress (video game)
On 15 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Letterpress (video game), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while developing the sound effects for Letterpress, Loren Brichter spit in his microphone? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Letterpress (video game). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Letterpress (video game)), 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 suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey! I've noticed you closed the nomination above, but it doesn't seem to be closed for a valid reason. The review was started on 20 December and you posted a single suggestion on 1 January. Then on 23 January, it was suddenly closed as fail for the nominator being inactive for 7 days. But you barely even had started reviewing the article yet. The nominator wasn't even pinged or anything. These closes should only happen when the nomination is put on hold (so after the review is done) and the nominator fails to respond in a timely manner, but they had nothing to respond to begin with. I believe this close should be clarified. Skyshiftertalk 04:30, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Bruh. I'm gonna trout myself for that. Self-trout TWOrantulaTM (enter the web) 04:54, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- The point isn't to ping the nominator, but rather the reason the review was failed for, as I explained above. It is invalid to close a nomination for the nominator being inactive when you haven't even finished your review. If you just wanted to stop reviewing, you could've stated so instead.

I initially thought of posting the failed nomination directly at WT:GAN, but wanted to try to resolve with you directly first. Skyshiftertalk 00:07, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for participating in this backlog drive! Just wanted to let you know that the review page is for editors to review references added by other editors. As in, a reviewer will randomly select an edit from a random editor to review, rather than you posting your edit there. The reviewed edits will then go under the reviewer's section. I've reviewed the 4 edits you posted there as an example. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thanks! ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 02:32, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Ohhhhh I thought it was like the WikiCup where you add everything you've done. Did not know that. Thanks, TWOrantulaTM (enter the web) 02:34, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Welcome to the drive!
Welcome, welcome, welcome TrademarkedTWOrantula! I'm glad that you are joining the drive! Please, have a cup of WikiTea, and go cite some articles.

If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

Nomination of Beretta 9000 for deletion
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beretta 9000 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.Chris Troutman (talk) 19:10, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- TrademarkedTWOrantula, I wanted to emphasize my sorrow at screwing you out of the point you deservedly earned for adding a source to the article. I PROD'd the thing with the idea that by the time the PROD expired, the month would be over and you'd have that point. Sadly, someone reverted my PROD so I had to defend my honor in that regard. I had reviewed your citation so hopefully you will be recompensated although the entry may drop from your log before then. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:29, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's aight man. I have a ton of articles I'm glad that they're referenced. We all make mistakes. TWOrantulaTM (enter the web) 02:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for February 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Angels in the Infield, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page McFarland. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 06:08, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
WikiCup 2024 March newsletter
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
- Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
- Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
- AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
- Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
- MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
- Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 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!
