Did you notice this Paddy's Day main page article? ww2censor (talk) 16:14, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

: No, I had not seen that - well now! Thanks! Great that the work of last year enabled it to remain at FA - maybe ahead of 17.3 we see if any further tweaks or illustration would improve it. SeoR (talk) 21:29, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello SeoR,

You mentioned on the page [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hiro_(motorcycles) Draft:Hiro (motorcycles)], that if I add One solid independent industry reference it would be approved. However, it's very difficult to find such an online reference. I added a few more references, and the best thing I can find is this article of the [https://www.pressreader.com/uk/classic-trial/20151001/282084865626784 magazine Classic Trial (1 Oct 2015)]. If I add that would it be sufficient? The article has enough references imo and pages about Hiro (motorcycles) are already approved on other language Wikis. -Artanisen (talk) 08:37, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

: Thanks for that {{u|Artanisen}}, and it might do. The reference does not have to be online, and for that topic, would quite likely be in a book reviewing the motorcycle world of the period. However, Classic Trial was well-established, so let me have a look. This is not a question of doubt about the facts - just about sufficient sourcing that the article is not promptly challenged on launch (this happened to another draft I cleared recently).

Hello SeoR, so I added the citation needed tag to TCD article, and split whole article into smaller paragraphs for easier read. Also putted citation needed tags in places that needs it. Could start inviting Dublin based editors to see if they can help? SeanBeans1981 (talk) 00:49, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

:Hello, {{U|SeanBeans1981}}! Great work ongoing, I see. I was going to do the invitation a while back, but then I thought that it would be easier if the article was prepped a bit more, to be clear about the gaps. And as it happened, my work saw me offline much more than I hoped (and than I used to be, but this is a thing that began in 2024, and unexpectedly continued to grow), so I felt it might be best to wait until I would be around to be active myself too. I am now back, and yes, will do a call out. SeoR (talk) 11:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

::Yes thank you, we will try our best efforts :) SeanBeans1981 (talk) 09:40, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

::: Hello again, {{U|SeanBeans1981}}, and I came here first, as it was my last Wiki-moment before I found myself in hospital with heart issues; my longest absence in more than half a decade, but I have no doubt I will see much good work done. I will be catching up over the next couple of days. SeoR (talk) 23:18, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

::::Hi SeoR, praying for full recovery and good health :) Yes we are making improvements and making some progress SeanBeans1981 (talk) 05:11, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

You are invited to participate in The European Destubathon in April. Almost $3000 in Amazon voucher prizes which can be used to buy books for content, though it can also be treated as an editathon if you're not interested in competing! Minimum content to be added to each article just to ensure that they're over a stub, though longer expansions also welcome. Entries at the end of the contest will be tipped into the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and European Challenge. Previous contests were really enjoyable and I'm hoping this one will be too! Sign up if interested. Thanks! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:22, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
