Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help towards making the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:14, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
DYK for James I. Hopkins Jr.
On 10 February 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article James I. Hopkins Jr., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/James I. Hopkins, Jr.. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, James I.

Hi, Bytefish
Thanks for your edits on 1974 Dunedin earthquake. You commented on the one edit "move refs to end of sentence". I saw your edit on the 1974 Dunedin earthquake article. As a friendly neighbor, I just wanted to confirm that you are aware that inline references they should be adjacent to the nearest punctuation, not necessarily at the end of a sentence as per WP:CITEFOOT. This maintains referential locality as it keeps refs "close to the material it supports". Some editors get in the habit of moving all refs to the end of sentences but this can do more harm than good.
