Really good TFA blurb! Hope you're doing well. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:29, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, absent a bit of bronchitis. Hope you are too! Wehwalt (talk) 18:31, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks. Back from my ski season in one piece. Getting ready for Ko-Ko in Buxton. -- Ssilvers (talk) 06:47, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I am mentoring for FAC. I've worked hard on the Sarah Geronimo article. Do you mind checking on the article? Also, if there are issues needed to be addressed before FAC nomination, please mention it here/ ScarletViolet (talk • contribs) 03:57, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I'm not able to offer mentorship at the present time. I really don't have the time, but once the article is at FAC, I'll give it a review if I can.--Wehwalt (talk) 04:02, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

today's story has a pic of a woman holding her cat, a DYK of 5 years ago - the recent pics show 2 orange tip butterflies --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:26, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for improving articles in May! - Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:52, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you felt like giving this article the once over with a view toward taking it Fa, I would be truly grateful. Also, I have a question. When something in one section of an article is mentioned in another section, should it be referenced somehow? How? The investiture controversy is mentioned in the early Middle Ages but not actually discussed until the high Middle Ages. Thank you! Hope you have been well! Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:42, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a very worthy project, but I could only advise on grammar and such. Regrettably, due to personal issues, I'm not taking on any time commitments at present. If you get it to FAC, I will be glad to review it but I can't take on any mentorship or article development at present. Wehwalt (talk) 00:57, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Wehwalt, I would like to have a talk with you, keep in mind that this portrait was taken in sometime in the 1930's, colored portraits were rare, if not nonexistent until the 1960's. I thought that colorizing the portrait of Sen. William Borah (R-ID) would appeal to Wikipedia users as much as it would with viewers, can you give me an explanation why you reverted this? I would like to know what the rules are. Dtrosho (talk) 20:43, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also want to know if there is a right way to colorize photos from the work of other people and entities, and upload them into Wikipedia? Dtrosho (talk) 20:49, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest reading the essay here. I don't think copyright is the main issue, as you colored it yourself. I think the issue is that without sources as to the colors, there's an element of speculation. If it's all proper per the rules, I have no personal objection. Wehwalt (talk) 20:55, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks for that info. Dtrosho (talk) 17:38, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Wehwalt how are you I would like to have a talk with you if you Can help to create notable topic about Translator and journalist , you can see the news on google + here in English and has a multiple coverage .

Thanks for your time Editorinusa (talk) 14:21, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not really a topic I could help you with and I see you've gotten good advice elsewhere so I'll just wish you good luck. Wehwalt (talk) 14:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay can you check this article please and move it to Draft I am working on adding the sources Editorinusa (talk) 15:00, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and good to come by. On the Apollo 13 page, you mentioned that the template includes the link. Problem is that navboxes are not seen on mobile, which is up to 60% of views now, so information on templates is fine in See also sections. The 'Missions to the Moon' page picks up well over 1,000 views a day, so it is both an established way of chronicling the missions and a popular page. As for beyond, Musk is working on that. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:11, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, why do we need a link to there from the one mission (not counting the Earth orbit ones) that didn't even enter lunar orbit? I'm also dubious about see alsos from articles to lists. I'm not sure what it really accomplishes. Wehwalt (talk) 15:39, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was a failed mission but it did circumnavigate the Moon. You may be surprised how many new views adding lists to See also accomplishes, there are many success stories. One of my favorites is List of photographs considered the most important, which really took off when I added the list to See also's. There are dozens of success stories like that one that I've been involved in (some with as many new views). My rule of thumb is to check if adding the list adds 20 views a day, and some add hundreds. The major increases usually attract new editors who greatly improve the pages. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:29, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story is about the TFA, by sadly missed Vami_IV. Thank you for scheduling it! In my support in 2018, I hoped to do justice to Schloss Köthen next - which I will begin today, finally, promised. Its Bachsaal was pictured to begin the year. For more related thoughts and music, look on my talk for 1 June. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wehwalt I listed Catherine, Princess of Wales at FAC last month. The nomination has progressed with the Image review, and comments left by two other editors have been addressed. Knowing of your vast experience at FAC, I thought you could provide valuable suggestions to improve the article's quality. Your comments would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to your response. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 05:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to get to it but it may not be immediate. Congrats at the attempt with such an important article. Wehwalt (talk) 12:52, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wehwalt Will you be leaving comments anytime this week or by mid-June? If yes, I would be happy to address your concerns. If not, thanks for your time and response. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 12:58, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I would think so. This is a busy week but if I don't have time this week it will be next. Wehwalt (talk) 17:58, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
