Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas ↗


You are invited to participate in the '''Destubathon of the Americas ↗''', a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ <span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span> 17:37, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :File:Robert LuPone.jpg ↗


48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

A tag has been placed on :File:Robert LuPone.jpg ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because it is a non-free file ↗ from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press ↗, Getty Images ↗), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines ↗, please add the appropriate non-free use tag ↗ and rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. <!-- Template:Db-badfairuse-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> 999<span style="white-space: nowrap;color: white;text-shadow:0 0 .25em #F0F,0 0 .6em #F0F;">REAL 💬 ⬆ ↗</span> 18:05, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 2026 ↗, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/August 2026 ↗. Please keep an eye on that page, as notifications of copy edits to or queries about the draft blurb may be posted there.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :I'm Telling the Truth but I'm Lying ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
Thank you.<!-- User:Zackmann08/uw/Unknown-params-warning --> '''<span style="color:#00d5ff !important">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94 !important">mann</span>''' (<sup>Talk to me ↗</sup>/<sub><span style="color:orange !important">What I been doing</span> ↗</sub>) 20:03, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Nathaniel Weyl.png


35px|text-top|left|⚠|link= ↗ Thanks for uploading ''':File:Nathaniel Weyl.png ↗'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use ↗. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media ↗).

Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-orphaned non-free use-notice --> --B-bot (talk) 17:30, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

TFA



{{User QAIbox

Thank you today for The Path to Rome ↗, introduced: "One of my great intellectual weaknesses is that I love the works of Hilaire Belloc, a cantankerous and shamelessly partisan curmudgeon, oft-criticized for his lack of fact checking, oft-lauded for his incisive attacks on Whig history, but maybe best known for his (possibly negative) influence on G. K. Chesterton. This book contrasts with his main body of work in that it is an absolute delight and filled to the gills with joy. Describing his 1901 pilgrimage on foot from the town of Toul to the Vatican, newer reprints of this book have subtitled it "A Portrait of Western Europe Before the World Wars" and for good reason. The tale also contains poetry, "enchanted cigarettes", praise of windows, horse slapping, verbal abuse, arguments with an imagined reader, divine intervention, imprisonment, and a perilous fight against a midsummer blizzard. This book was my "trench companion" during some difficult years of my life and I am pleased to make this my second FAC" Enjoy your second TFA day, and the third is around the corner! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:19, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
