FAC tidying

Hello! Touching base because I find myself with a little bit more time on my hands than I’ve had recently and wondered if there was anything I might lend a hand on as you finalize myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome for FAC. I haven’t been involved in the process before and I’d be curious to learn even just about the routine parts—happy to pitch in with things like ref formatting if that still needs doing. Maybe it’s really already all set but just in case I thought I’d inquire whether there was still help I could offer! Innisfree987 (talk) 08:14, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Innisfree :). Thanks for the offer! I think consistent ref formatting is done, but I have quite a poor eye for it, so would appreciate another pair of eyes. Over the last couple of months, I've been able to reduce the number of citations, removing lower-quality ones, which should make the job easier. English is not my first language; some others have done in-detail prose commenting, but nobody has gone over the new management section, so some feedback on the prose there would also be welcome.

I hope to nominate later this month, and hoping to get opinions at Wikipedia:Peer review/Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome/archive1 on whether it's ready. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great, I’ll have a look over both of those! Thanks for the suggestions, and for your remarkable, steady work on this! I’ve really learned a lot for my own editing from the example. Innisfree987 (talk) 08:43, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

		The Reviewer Barnstar
		Given all you have been doing at WP:GA, WP:FA and WP:TCC, this barnstar is long overdue. Keep up the great work! Phlsph7 (talk) 15:51, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Hope you didn't mind me going a bit overboard on the ethics review. Fingers crossed it'll attract some more reviewers soon. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found your ideas on making the article more accessible quite helpful! It's better to be too detailed than too brief, especially with an article of this scope. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:03, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your sig

Just wanted to drop you a note to say that I love your sig with the little birdy, but I was a bit concerned at first, because on some screens it looks like somebody took a small bite out of their backside, and I was about to call PETA. :) Viriditas (talk) 23:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Shame on the nefarious browser that would mangle the little bird like that. I can assure you that our two little zebrafinches have an intact backside, and are being treated like the kings they are :). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:12, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Unrest (2017 film)

On 18 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Unrest (2017 film), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jennifer Brea directed an Academy Award–shortlisted documentary while bedbound from ME/CFS? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Unrest (2017 film). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Unrest (2017 film)), 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.

Happy Adminship Anniversary!

Congratulations

On your hard work and well deserved achievement. [1] Graham Beards (talk) 19:59, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And thank you for your help :). Couldn't have done it without support of people much more familiar with medical literature. Now back editing energy articles, which is going much faster. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:01, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
