Dutch CFS article

[edit]

Hi Femke. I saw that your mother language is Dutch and was wondering if you good give any advice on updating the Dutch article on 'chronischevermoeidheidssyndroom'. It's quite a mess and has not been updated in a long time. I've tried to make a case of changing the title to ME/CFS instead of CFS on the talk page but because I'm new to Wikipedia, other editors were suspicious of me and disapproved my suggestion. I'm now slowly trying to update the content of the CFS page but I suspect I might run into similar issues (skepticism of other editors towards me as a new member who is trying to rewrite most of the content on the page). Any help or advice from a experienced Wikipedia editor like yourself would be very much appreciated. Best wishes, --Odobert (talk) 19:17, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great work there :). With 3 people in favour and 2 against, it's likely that the suggested merge will fail on the Dutch Wikipedia, unless there are more people joining the discussion. It can be frustrating, but it's a normal part of editing that people may not agree all the time.
So far, your updates to the CVS page seem to be able to stick. The best way forward is to continue to be slow, and give people the opportunity to react to what you've written. If you edit in small batches, people may revert one or two edits while leaving most of your updates be.
One thing that can bring out "mentoring mode" from other people, is working towards the Dutch equivalent of a featured article, a nl:WP:etalage article. The standards on the Dutch Wikipedia are less strict than here, and it's a fun process. First you get a peer review, and then others will vote whether it meets the high standards. But it will require some time investment. Another thing you may want to do to avoid Wikipedia:BITEY behaviour from experienced editors is edit a bit in other topics. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, much appreciated. Odobert (talk) 14:08, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Chronotropic incompetence

[edit]

On 7 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chronotropic incompetence, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that many people with heart failure, diabetes, or ME/CFS cannot raise their heart rates sufficiently during exercise? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chronotropic incompetence. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Chronotropic incompetence), 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.

TCC things

[edit]

Hi Femke, I've started a Wikipedia:The Core Contest/Preparations for future years. Figured it would be good to have all the planning in one page, and for future judges. Feel free to add anything that looks missing; there's probably few things I'm going to add, but the basics are there already.

Also, I was planning to make a short FAQ page for the contest. I'm finding that we're repeatedly asked the same handful of questions: what is core/is this core enough; can/how I withdraw; can I enter more than one article; work with multiple people; etc. Let me know if you think of any others.

I've been meaning to do this all for a while, and figured it would be good to have it ready well before next year. Aza24 (talk) 04:14, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FAC tidying

[edit]

Hello! Touching base because I find myself with a little bit more time on my hands than I’ve had recently and wondered if there was anything I might lend a hand on as you finalize myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome for FAC. I haven’t been involved in the process before and I’d be curious to learn even just about the routine parts—happy to pitch in with things like ref formatting if that still needs doing. Maybe it’s really already all set but just in case I thought I’d inquire whether there was still help I could offer! Innisfree987 (talk) 08:14, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Innisfree :). Thanks for the offer! I think consistent ref formatting is done, but I have quite a poor eye for it, so would appreciate another pair of eyes. Over the last couple of months, I've been able to reduce the number of citations, removing lower-quality ones, which should make the job easier. English is not my first language; some others have done in-detail prose commenting, but nobody has gone over the new management section, so some feedback on the prose there would also be welcome.
I hope to nominate later this month, and hoping to get opinions at Wikipedia:Peer review/Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome/archive1 on whether it's ready. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great, I’ll have a look over both of those! Thanks for the suggestions, and for your remarkable, steady work on this! I’ve really learned a lot for my own editing from the example. Innisfree987 (talk) 08:43, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Reviewer Barnstar
Given all you have been doing at WP:GA, WP:FA and WP:TCC, this barnstar is long overdue. Keep up the great work! Phlsph7 (talk) 15:51, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Hope you didn't mind me going a bit overboard on the ethics review. Fingers crossed it'll attract some more reviewers soon. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I found your ideas on making the article more accessible quite helpful! It's better to be too detailed than too brief, especially with an article of this scope. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:03, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your sig

[edit]

Just wanted to drop you a note to say that I love your sig with the little birdy, but I was a bit concerned at first, because on some screens it looks like somebody took a small bite out of their backside, and I was about to call PETA. :) Viriditas (talk) 23:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Shame on the nefarious browser that would mangle the little bird like that. I can assure you that our two little zebrafinches have an intact backside, and are being treated like the kings they are :). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:12, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
