Thnx@DYK_Queen .. FuzzyMagma (talk) 08:44, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your translation. Btw I've added the {{translated page}} template to the article talk page. BorgQueen (talk) 08:46, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

didn’t know such template exist. I will use it - when necessary- going forward and also will apply it to where I previously constructed an article based on translation FuzzyMagma (talk) 08:49, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is currently the third most clicked DYK hook of this month. Congratulations! BorgQueen (talk) 03:55, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, as you know, I have copyedited your article on Sara Gadalla Gubara, and learned more about her achievements. As I met her during my time in Khartoum and attended the public screenings of her father's digitised films, I am very pleased about your great efforts (as usual) of researching this article. As I don't read Arabic fluently, I often overlook Arabic sources for articles on Sudanese or other topics relating to the Arab world and appreciate your references to let people know that there are such sources, too, besides others in English. - Of course, it's not always easy to find good sources in Arabic, as Arab media often don't give much importance to thorough cultural journalism. ): And here's a minor comment: WP infoboxes are not meant to carry national flags. Looking forward to more cooperation on Sudanese articles. Munfarid1 (talk) 11:06, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Munfarid1 thanks alot. Truly appreciate your kind words, especially because it’s from someone who I really admire. No more flags, I learned that the hard way. I was doing that because Arabic Wikipedia includes flags in the infobox automatically. FuzzyMagma (talk) 14:42, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Munfarid1 thnx for the invitation to collaborate on a new article but I’m trying to improve these articles to a GA status until the end of April. After that I’m happy to work on that/your new project. Can I be a little bit selfish and ask for your help bring these articles to GA. The article list:

Currently nominated: Abdel Halim Mohamed (copy edit), El Hadi Ahmed El Sheikh, Sarah Gadallah Gubara, Mohamed Hamad Satti, Marianne Bachmeier (if you can watch some of the interviews or documentaries which are in german to improve the article further)

To peer review (almost ready .. improve lede and copy edit): Mansour Haseeb, Mafeje Affair (can go to FA if someone summarised this), Mohamed El-Amin Ahmed El-Tom, El Sheikh Mahgoub Gaafar, Werner Pinzner,

Previously Failed: Albert Rakoto Ratsimamanga (copy edit), Archie Mafeje (still writing a section about personality) FuzzyMagma (talk) 07:02, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Impressed by your many projects, I understand your current priorities. I myself don't have a lot of time for editing these days, but I will try my best to add whatever I can to your articles. Of course, I will start with the videos in German on Marianne Bachmeier and whatever I can find on Werner Pinzner, even though they are strange characters...Good luck with the GA nominations, as they can be very time consuming... ;) Munfarid1 (talk) 19:12, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Munfarid1 many thanks for your support. I know with your help and expertise, we can get these articles over the GA line. You wrote about far serious topics and got your work to a GA status which to be admired FuzzyMagma (talk) 21:15, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On 28 February 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Eva Siracká, which you created. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Indefensible (talk) 17:18, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

		The Science Barnstar
		Hereby I award you the Science Barnstar for Electron backscatter diffraction. Impressive article! BorgQueen (talk) 12:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

thanks ♡ FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:31, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you're willing, you're welcome to work on Irradiation at some point. It's an important topic yet the article is in a horrible state. BorgQueen (talk) 12:43, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BorgQueen I might know some people who I can entice to share their literature review about irradiation effect on inorganic materials but irradiation itslef will be beyond my expertise. The EBSD article was based on my own PhD literature review as it takes months of focus work to write a coherent literature review.

There are already literature review competitions [1][2] which I am try to literally infiltrate to point them toward contributing to Wikipedia as these literature reviews are reviewed by experts .. but but but for some reason there is a huge disconnect between scientist and Wikipedia.

This might not be the place, but I believe Wikipedia can setup a similar literature review competition for PhD students (which I can easily find the fund for) which will surely help the scientific content on Wikipedia. What do you think? FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Well, the word fund alone is a red signal as the Wikipedia community very much frowns upon any amount of money involved, in any way, for any purpose. BorgQueen (talk) 13:07, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BorgQueen fund for the prize and ceremony. PhD student already do the work as part of their PhD and an acknowledgement won't be missed. But the appeal (and risk) here is using Wikipedia name to get free labour from a community that does free labour already but for scientific journals that actually earn money from that free labour.

For me the scientific community work ethic and Wikipedia are surely aligned at least when it comes to accessible publications and freedom of knowledge. I think I am asking you (as a well versed admin) to tell me if there is a value to the idea, what can be improved, and how to move it forward? FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:18, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the fund is for a prize, the prize is still an indirect payment. Paid editing isn't banned on Wikipedia so long as they properly disclose it, as per Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. But I'm probably not the best person to ask about this subject. I suppose Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) might a good place to start a discussion on that.

But please stop placing the Talk Header template inside the WikiProject banner shell. It's not a WikiProject... lol. BorgQueen (talk) 21:01, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lol .. I will stop doing that. I’m a practical learner so I sadly I learn from my mistakes. Thanks alot for the Barnstar ❤️ FuzzyMagma (talk) 21:20, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I note that neither of the people you asked for a third opinion have responded, so I have added a request to the Third Opinion page to see if there is a possibility for a response there. 84.92.90.18 (talk) 17:08, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
