DYK for Grid energy storage
[edit]
On 4 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Grid energy storage, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that energy on the grid can be stored in sand or salt? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Grid energy storage. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Grid energy storage), 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.

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
Administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
Thanks for your recent work on Air pollution
[edit]A quick (but more extensive) thanks for your bold revisions to this article. I've been greatly frustrated with it for a long while, especially the abundance of flaky material and citations that don't meet WP:MEDRS. It needed exactly this kind of bold treatment - so thanks again! 45154james (talk) 16:12, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. I was looking for an article with poor readability, as I'm trying to draft some text about this in WP:MTAU (or somewhere else). Trying to figure out what I do when I rewrite a text to be understandable. Apparently, one of the key things I do I do is replacing all the unreadable text cited to unreliable sources with more concise text.
- I'm quite surprised how poorly that article is writing. It gets almost as many reads as climate change, but it's an utter mess in structure and sources. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Request for GA review help
[edit]Hello Femke,
I'm conducting my first GA review, and as a listed mentor at WP:GAMENTOR, I was wondering if you could quickly check my review just to ensure I've done it correctly? It's at Talk:WLOK/GA1. I'm quite confident that the article is an easy pass, but I've held off on formally promoting it for now. No worries if you aren't up for it—I can pick another mentor. Thanks, Giraffer (talk) 00:00, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Happy to have a look User:Giraffer. I'll try to make some time after work today. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:52, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for your help! I added a couple more suggestions which have now been addressed as well. Are you happy for me to close the review? Giraffer (talk) 19:19, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, great work! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:25, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

RE Copyvio. Subject text was rewritten and submitted. Tried to avoid Frontiers per your sugs, but they appear to be more interested in sharing ALS investigative progress than any USA sources. No alternative easily found. TomStonehunter (talk) 21:39, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hello TomStonehunter. Thanks for your new edit!
- I imagine nobody has ever shown you how to find sources that meet WP:MEDRS more easily? The two main criteria for medical papers is that (a) it should be a review and (b) it should have been published in the last 5 years. Pubmed allows you to constrain searches to this completely, for instance see this query for ALS risk factors. You should see I've ticked "meta-analysis", "review" and "systemic review" in the options. In your recent edit, you added a small primary study to ALS. As small studies usually show larger effects (f.i. due to publication bias) or random results (due to their small statistical power]), these studies shouldn't be cited on Wikipedia. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:21, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- Good knowledge. Thankful and appreciative for your assists. Now (bad news) just discovered that the surviving citation had content that mentioned both ALS and MS. ALS' first use of this cite was appropriate; the second use, not. The OR\CI info needs pulled; it applied to MS not ALS. I will fix ALS and put a future MS update on my do-do list. I apologize for pulling you into this vortex whilst I spun in circles. TomStonehunter (talk) 16:17, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
