Great, I am ready to do the job, any specific instructions for the comments to be given to you, and where can I send them to you? Also what mistakes should I immediately correct?
It would be best practise to leave all comments (meaning stuff along the lines of "This section is hard to understand/seems poorly explained/needs more citations/etc.") on the Allbirds talk page.
My pressing concern is about the public reception section. If it looks fine/not under- or over-detailed, let me know. Immediate corrections would be for citation errors (dead links and missing information) and typos. Ornov GangulyTALK16:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All fine. Just so you know, I do plan on putting this out for GA nomination by October though. That's not a deadline for you, because it would probably take months to clear there anyway, but just a statement of plans. Ornov GangulyTALK14:28, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for the in-depth work. You've really gone into the weeds. Go ahead and post it to the Allbirds page. I'll get started on it right away. Ornov GangulyTALK14:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the delay with the Barnstar. I've had a hectic week irl and it slipped my mind. Thank you so much again for your help with the article. Ornov GangulyTALK14:54, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I was thinking of making a day late nomination of Musa al-Gharbi for DYK sometime later tonight when I have the time. Please feel free to work on it. Maybe you have some hook ideas? Thriley (talk) 22:41, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Thriley. I have a few suggestions, but I have no experience with DYKs yet. I just think that we'd veer too closely towards promotion by talking about his recent life.
Did you know ...that in 2014, a then University of Arizona instructor Musa al-Gharbi was rejected from the school's PhD program due to a Twitter dispute regarding an article he wrote, calling the United States "a greater threat to peace and stability in the Middle East than ISIS"?
You are invited to Foundation and Friends' Free Culture Friday at Prime Produce on Friday, November 22. This event will feature a reception with Wikimedia Foundation staff in the afternoon, followed by a more informal salon and game night, utilizing Prime Produce's vast collection of board games. No experience of anything at all is required. All are welcome!
You are also invited to Wikicurious: Capturing the Moment, the third event of the beginner-focused Wikicurious series, at Jefferson Market Library on Tuesday, November 26, in collaboration with WikiPortraits and AfroCROWD. All are welcome to attend, especially those interested in photography or contributing to Wikimedia Commons. We will explore the art of capturing the moment through photography and learn the basics of Wikimedia Commons, and (weather-permitting) we are also planning a photo walk, so bring your camera (or use your smartphone)!
Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Hello Oganguly, may you be surrounded by peace, success and happiness on this seasonal occasion. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Sending you heartfelt and warm greetings for Christmas and New Year 2025. Happy editing, Abishe (talk) 04:21, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On 26 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Musa al-Gharbi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Musa al-Gharbi argues that "symbolic capitalists" support social justice movements to amass social currency? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Musa al-Gharbi. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Musa al-Gharbi), 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.
The special focus this year will be the launch of our "400 Neighborhoods" campaign for the city's 400th anniversary and WikiProject New York City/400 Task Force.
We'll also have a lightning talks session and you're invited to sign up for one, though space is somewhat limited.
