 * Happy New Year to you too, ! God, I can't believe it's been almost a year since we interacted. I hope we get to work together this year! Pamzeis (talk) 12:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Me too! Although to be fair, I've had kind of a strange year. Right now I'm planning to build up some AT / Fionna and Cake pages so that should be fun. BuySomeApples (talk) 12:38, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Admittedly, I haven't seen any of Adventure Time, but it sounds really fun :) Not really sure what's in it for me this year since it's gonna be pretty busy 'cuz of exams, but I'm hoping to work on more GAs or even FAs. BTW, feel free to drop by at anytime if you want a review or something, or even just to chat! Pamzeis (talk) 13:22, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You should watch it sometime! The first few seasons are easy to pick up and put down, and it doesn't get lore-heavy until midway through. I'll definitely pop by to chat sometime, and I'll probably see you on an MLP page every now and then. BuySomeApples (talk) 17:23, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I've told myself that I wouldn't watch anything super long TV shows until the summer (when I have more time) 'cuz I get addicted to watching stuff really easily (like, I'll watch it for eight hours a day). But maybe I'll have a look at some point, though. I'll definitely tell you what I think if I do. Pamzeis (talk) 05:47, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I respect that, sometimes I have to take media breaks to get anything done. I look forward to hearing what you think if you do ever get around to it! BuySomeApples (talk) 12:49, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Feedback
Hey Pamzeis. Hope all is well and Happy New Year. Not sure how busy you are these days and if you're still active in the FAC review space. Thought I'd ask, since your last nomination was a BLP of Mckenna Grace. I was wondering if you have time to provide some feedback on my current FAC. It's a short one (probably shorter than Mckenna's), so hopefully wont be too long to review. Totally understand though if things are busier IRL. Have a good one. Pseud 14 (talk) 19:09, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hiya, . Thanks for the request—the article looks really interesting (earning critical acclaim for her performance as the toilet cleaner is the most unexpected thing I've read in an FAC nom statement thus far)! I might be able to have a look, but I'm not the most free person ATM and have a bit to catch up IRL (if ya couldn't tell, I'm really good at procrastinating). Any review would probably have to come a few weeks from now and I'm not sure if the article would still be at FAC by then. If the article is still there, I will probably take a look, but I can't make any promises, unfortunately. I'm really sorry for not being able to review, but please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any reviews in the future! Good luck with the article! Pamzeis (talk) 13:36, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey no worries at all and thanks. Been a few months since I was on FAC too, so trying to get my rhythm back and recall whose reviewed my work before :), all the best! And hope to see you back soon whenever you're ready. Pseud 14 (talk) 16:32, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Shaylee Mansfield
The article Shaylee Mansfield you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Shaylee Mansfield for comments about the article, and Talk:Shaylee Mansfield/GA2 for the nomination. Well done!

February 2024
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Paige Niemann. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You have continued to remove maintenance templates while also appearing to add promotional content, e.g. removing content directly about Neimann and presenting it as if the source is not directly discussing Neimann, and appear to have used a false edit summary . Beccaynr (talk) 06:11, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * However, I reviewed the source more closely, and have edited the text slightly into a compromise version. However, the repeated removal of the maintenance templates without addressing the Fan POV and promotional issues continues to seem problematic. Beccaynr (talk) 06:18, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hiya, ! As I explained in my edit summary, I removed the maintenance tags because I believed the issues were not applicable (i.e. it was not written from a fan POV or promotional), and was not trying to be "disruptive" or "problematic". I'm not sure what content that I added that rings as "promotional" to you? If there are any bits where you feel that it's still promotional or anything, you could point them out and I could try to fix them. Thanks! Pamzeis (talk) 03:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Pamzeis, thank you for following up, and I apologize for my frustrated reaction to the removals of the templates - from my view, even this removal had not adequately addressed an ongoing issue of relying on mostly interview-based coverage from several years ago to present Neimann as she promotes herself and has been promoted in low-quality, sensationalized coverage. From my view, the article still seemed to mimic some of the sensational coverage (e.g. "Niemann stated that she was told she resembled" ... "TikTok users dubbed her Grande's doppelgänger" ... "Niemann dresses and styles herself similar to Grande"), and then concludes by noting coverage of the OnlyFans account. I think it is particularly challenging to develop this article with the available sources - the sources tend toward sensationalism, and we don't seem to have a lot to balance it, and negative coverage isn't particularly helpful, especially for a mostly low-profile person.However, I think your edits preceding the removal of the templates were an improvement, and I overreacted to noticing the removal of the templates again (while it was late for me and I was distracted, basically exactly what WP:SLEEPY cautions against), and the article has since continued to improve with further edits and the addition of context. I am still concerned about this article from a general WP:BLP standpoint, and whether negative coverage about Neimann should really be helping justify the existence of a standalone article, but for now, I think the article has developed into a more balanced, neutral, and sourced article and I do not plan to restore the templates.

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to, 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 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!
