94th Academy Awards FL Draft Update

Hi there,

Thank you for adding info regarding both the Will Smith-Chris Rock altercation and the controversy regarding the relegated tech awards. They were well written and concise unlike. I made a few adjustments myself. Notably, I've added another paragraph under Ceremony information describing COVID-19 health and safety protocols enacted during the ceremony (the third paragraph, FYI). I also added a sentence mentioning the moment of silence for Ukraine at the end of the In Memoriam section similar to the sentence describing the moment of silence for 9/11 victims during the 74th Academy Awards. Now, my only concern is what to do about the Oscars Fan Favorite and Cheer Moment (fake) award. While it was not an actual award, it was part of the festivies (sort of). I'm not sure how it should be addressed within the article. If you are willing to take a stab at it, feel free to do so (unless you feel it's unnecessary to mention it).

Also, there is a dispute about winners markup. Joeyconnick, thinks that there should not be a double dagger indicating winners since he claims its redundant due to it being listed first, but back when I did earlier Oscar ceremonies, I was told their had to be a markup for winners listed in tables other than bold and listed first due to Manual of Style standards and accessibility concerns for visually impaired readers. I really don't want to get into an edit war, but I want this list promoted to FL.

Anyways, I'm surprised we were able to report on this very tumultuous ceremony in a fairly neutral and objective manner. Thanks for your help. As always, the draft is listed under User:Birdienest81/sandbox thirty-three.

--Birdienest81talk 11:35, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

@Birdienest81: Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into the other sections later. For the daggers, I think they are necessary because some years may have ties, so the first film listed wouldn't be the only winner. Even if a year doesn't have a tie, the dagger should still be there so a reader using a screen reader would know there wasn't a tie. RunningTiger123 (talk) 12:11, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

@Birdienest81: I've finished some more revisions, including adding a short-ish paragraph for the "Oscars Fan Favorite" and updating some sources. At this point, I'm pretty happy with where it's at, but I don't know how you're feeling about it. Feel free to keep making tweaks to it until you're happy. RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

@RunningTiger123:: Actually, it looks perfect. I'm honestly fine with how it looks since it covers all the basic and important information of this awards annal. I'll probably just add alt captions to the photos and double check for grammatical or spelling. My only concern is how to convinve Joeyconnick to not mess with the double daggers since it's supposed to be there for Accessibility purposes.

Oh, I'll probably take a look at your most recent FLC for the 59th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards by at least tomorrow. Also, if you have any questions or if you need me to look up citations for the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, feel free to give me a ping.

74th Primetime Emmys host and venue info

Hi there,

With the announcement that Saturday Night Live comedian Kenan Thompson was selected to host this year's Primetime Emmy ceremony, I found some more information that may expound the response for Kenan himself and also more conformation that the ceremony will return to the Microsoft Theater (at least for now).

• One from the Los Angeles Times
• Another one from Deadline Hollywood
• One from Variety. It reads, "The 2022 Emmys will be a bit of a further return to form, with the show inside the Microsoft Theatre for the first time in three years."
• One that is the official press release from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Hope this helps.

74th Primetime Emmys (Main Ceremony and Creative) and 94th Academy Awards FLC

Hi there,

I've gotten more articles about last night's Creative Arts Emmy Awards and the Main Ceremony scheduled for next week. This time it's regarding COVID-19 protocols. According to this article, proof of negative COVID test is required for all attendees and production crew. Futhermore, there will be 94 tables on the main area closest to the stage to enforce social distancing due to showbiz guild protocols (similar to this year's Oscars). No masks are required for attendees, but production crew must wear one (Ironically, there was supposedly a masking rule at the Oscars for attendees sitting on the mezzanine in the back and those sitting on the balconies on the side, but apparently according to this photo authorized by AMPAS, no one in the mezzazine or balcony is wearing one—see top left of photo. Oh, well. I’m personally don’t wear masks since I got vaccinated unless required to and tend to avoid said places unless necessary like the doctor).

Oh, also, the 94th Oscars lost all three categories it was nominated for at the Creative Arts Emmys. I don't know how you want to address that. I'm not sure where I can find an article proving it. The official Television Academy list "The Oscars" for all nominations for every show since 2013. So it mucks up the count for each individual ceremony since 2013.

Anyways, if you can ask more folks to review the FLC for the 2022 Oscars, that would be swell. In the meantime, hope these nuggets help with the writing for the 74th Primetime Emmys.

List of accolades received by CODA (2021 film) FLC and 74th Primetime Emmy Awards suggestions/advice/help

Hi there,

I was wondering if you could proofread List of accolades received by CODA (2021 film) for featured list promotion? I would appreciate the feedback.

Also, do you need me to research anything or add something to the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards so that it will be ready for a featured list candidacy? I will gladly look up information for you. If you want, you may credit me as co-nominator in the event you nominate the list for featured list nomination. I don't plan to nominate anything myself until maybe November.

--Birdienest81talk 20:47, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

@Birdienest81: Since I did some work on the CODA list before its promotion and it seems to be doing okay at the moment, I'm going to stay away from reviewing it for the time being – while not strictly disallowed, I think it's best for reviews to come from uninvolved users. (And don't worry about nominating it without me, I'd forgotten about it for a while.) As to the Emmys article, I'm waiting to get a little further from the event before pursuing FLC, just so it's sure to be stable. I'll probably start with the Creative Arts ceremony once I have time since it's more straightforward. RunningTiger123 (talk) 03:32, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Full names of characters on Award nominations

Hi, as the names of characters on Award ceremonies must use full names of characters. Examples: Ruby "Rue" Bennett and Siobhan "Shiv" Roy, both HBO characters. CastJared (talk) 07:08, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@CastJared: Why do those articles have to use full names? Is there some sort of policy or guideline to support that? If not, I would argue it is more important to stick with what the sources state. Otherwise, how would we ensure that any one name is "correct"? (For instance, is Nicholas Braun's character on Succession Greg Hirsch, Gregory Hirsch, or Gregory "Greg" Hirsch? Without a source to specify otherwise, any of those is a "correct" full name.) RunningTiger123 (talk) 14:16, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Update: Per WP:BRD, I have reverted the pages to how they were before the changes started. RunningTiger123 (talk) 14:45, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

I didn't realize that I saw that on their TV series articles, "Succession" and "Euphoria", which they have characters' full names with nicknames used. CastJared (talk) 15:09, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@CastJared: Isn't that essentially citing another Wikipedia article? That's generally discouraged since there is no good way to ensure reliability (see WP:CIRCULAR). RunningTiger123 (talk) 15:13, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

95th Academy Awards and potential "In the News..."/Featured List status

Hi there,

As you probably heard the 95th Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled to air this upcoming Sunday night. One of the potential issues I am concerned with if the article will be good enough to be posted on the Main Page's "In the News..." section. At the moment, the article for the 2023 broadcast is littered with facts/trivia that is mostly uncited with reliable sources. I try to trim down on such facts that can be proven with reliable sources and try to keep that section tight and focused as possible. For example, I try to avoid facts that say "X person/film is the 16th overall person/film to achieve this distinction" unless the achievement has not occurred in a considerable amount of time. Also, the Andrea Riseborough nomination section seems bloated and appears to not be objective/neutral point of view. I tend to avoid "controversies" based on "snubs" because feedback from previous ceremony lists I have nominated for featured list status have indicated to make sure the article is maintaining a neutral point of view since there will always be people who complain that their favorite(s) got unfairly "snubbed." Also, I don't want the page to sound like a gossip article. So that's my dilemma at the moment.

In preparation, I've been working on a potential FLC-ready version of the awards on this sandbox page. I hope to one day transfer the content onto the actual article when it's ready. I usually wait until around July so as not to get into an edit war. If you have any advice regarding the articles, you can ping me back or reply below. I'll see if I can review the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards for featured list promotion around next week when I have more time. Thanks.

--Birdienest81talk 02:14, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

@Birdienest81: Thanks for the heads up – I tagged a bunch of the trivia as "citation needed" a few weeks ago in the hopes that either (a) sources would be added or (b) the trivia would be removed. I can take a look this evening and try to parse it down. RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:43, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

@Birdienest81: Okay, I've trimmed some of the fat from the trivia section. Some of the trivia could probably be trimmed further, but the key thing is that everything is sourced now (which is key for ITN). As to the Riseborough controversy, it doesn't actually seem too bad – there's probably some trimming that could also be done there, but I think it merits some discussion because it dominated Oscars talk for a while.

74th Primetime Emmy Awards FLC and other stuff I'm up to...

Hi there,

As promised, I have reviewed the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards for featured list promotion. Also, thank you for slightly keeping an eye on 95th Academy Awards. I plan to cleanup the list over the next few months before submitting it for FLC on July 18. I am waiting for the list to become stable as to not instigate an edit war and also so I can gather the necessary information to completely report about the ceremony and the awards. I might consider also submitting accolades lists for the following:

List	Target date for FLC submission
2022 Winter Olympics medal table	March 27, 2023
List of accolades received by Dune (2021 film)	May 4, 2023
95th Academy Awards	July 18, 2023
List of accolades received by Everything Everywhere All at Once	September 18, 2023
List of accolades received by Parasite	October 13, 2023
List of accolades received by The Revenant	November 27, 2023
54th Academy Awards	February 3, 2024
50th Academy Awards	February 24, 2024
1996 Summer Olympics medal table	March 25, 2024
55th Academy Awards	May 21, 2024
96th Academy Awards	July 29, 2024
57th Academy Awards	February 6, 2025

Of course everything is subject to change. So that's what I have been planning so far.

96th Academy Awards

Hi there again,

I forgot. Somebody has started the article for 96th Academy Awards, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has not yet announced the date yet for those awards even though they had already announced some rule changes regarding nominees and diversity/inclusion standards since June 2020. Should that article be deleted until the Academy has officially announced a date for the ceremony?

--Birdienest81talk 06:12, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

@Birdienest81: The current article is weak since the information is already covered at Academy Award for Best Picture, but deletion is probably a bit extreme; a redirect is preferable, so the current content can easily be restored later. I'll adjust the page shortly. RunningTiger123 (talk) 16:25, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

96th Academy Awards date for 2024 and other things

Hi there,

It was announced that the 96th Academy Awards will be televised on March 10, 2024, with the corresponding nominations announced on January 23. Is it possible to restore the article from the redirect now that the dates have been revealed?

Also, if you have time, could you rewrite the Andrea Risenborough controversy section for the 95th Academy Awards since you think it still should be addressed? I will give you credit when the list gets nominated for featured list status. I plan to start doing more improvements to the ceremony list in June.

--Birdienest81talk 07:57, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

@Birdienest81: Sorry for the delay, I recently updated the section to trim some unnecessary words/details. Is there a sandbox where you're working on the full article's updates? I'd be happy to look over that as well if you want. RunningTiger123 (talk) 20:00, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

@RunningTiger123: Hi there,

I apologize for being so late to respond to you given when you commented it was close to me and my mom's birthday. Also, I had involved in a car accident with someone rear-ending me. So I had to do business with the insurance company and body shop.

As promised, I have made one comment on your FLC nomination of List of awards and nominations received by Modern Family. Good job.

In regards to the 95th Academy Awards and its upcoming FLC (aiming for July 18), I have been making changes to the article over at User:Birdienest81/sandbox twenty-eight. I was wondering if you could copyedit or make revisions to the Andrea Riseborough nominations controversy section since I feel that you are better equipped to handle this type of situation. Also feel free to make any corrections if you see any.

I'm thinking of also doing a 9/11 related FLC by suprucing up an article given that the anniversary falls on Monday and I feel that the FLC on that day should be related to that event.

Online Safety Act

Hi. You have made a number of edits to this article - once to suggest OR and once to delete content. I'm assuming good faith, and asking that you discuss any further edits on the talk page first before making any further edits. The issue here is simple but unusual. This article page - up until 26th October related to the Online Safety Bill - draft legislation. This article was well source. However, on the 26th, according to sources, the Bill received royal assent, making it current law, ie an Act. Normally when this is the came the text of the Act is published on leglasation.gov.uk at the same time as royal assent. For some reason - unknown - this has not happened. Similarly, on Wikipedia articles, when the articles relates to an Act there's always an external link and/or citations to the text of the Act. In this case, there has resulted in a situaiton where an article about the Online Safety Act is actually very thinly and inadequately supported by sources, since nearly all the sources relate to the draft Bill. The sources that do relate to the Act do so only in a thin and passing manner and only repeat the Government press release announcement. This source is flawed since is does not provide any evidence of the text of the Act. This is a highly unusual situation where a potential front page Wiki article is underpinned almost entirely by a Government announcement, and no substance. I would image that this situtation would be short lived and that the text of the Act will be published shortly. Until then, however, I think it would be prudent to keep this clarification paragraph. Otherwise, the Wikipedia article would not only be inaccurate, but could lead to Wikipedia looking less than encyclopaedic and impartial if the situation turns out not to be short lived for any reason. I will reprint this on the article's talk page, please do discuss further. Thanks for your understanding. Tonyinman (talk) 22:19, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

@Tonyinman: If the situation is indeed so unusual, it would be covered in secondary sources. We should not try to draw conclusions about whether this is unusual. I ultimately removed the paragraph because it was inappropriate synthesis – pointing out the lack of publication in a primary source and pointing to a different primary source relating to when publication should occur to conclude on your own that something is unusual is basically the definition of inappropriate synthesis. I'll leave a message on the article talk page for others to weigh in. RunningTiger123 (talk) 23:12, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Noted. However, be aware that, in the event that this is unsual, the edit history is public - as it should be. Tonyinman (talk) 23:42, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

@Tonyinman: What do you mean by the edit history is public - as it should be? That comes across as intimidating to me. If I'm wrong and other sources point it out as unusual then I'll fully support a mention of that – no need to cast aspersions. RunningTiger123 (talk) 00:00, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Upcoming projects

Hi there,

I had taken a break due to other commitments, but I am ready to slowly return to editing and improving lists on Wikipedia. Right now I am planning to submit 54th Academy Awards for FLC on February 3, as I have completed overhauling that article. Meanwhile, I need help with 50th Academy Awards, because I am wondering how to parse down the section regarding the controversy surrounding Vanessa Redgrave's Oscar acceptance speech. You can view the improvements I am making to the ceremony article in this sandbox. If you feel like you can rewrite that entire section, you make take a stab at it.

Also, the 96th Academy Awards is coming up. I am also planning to turn it into an featured list in July. Can you help me maintain that article so that it may be posted in the "In the news" section of the Main Page after the ceremony has concluded? Again, I would greatly appreciate your help. I will give you credit for both the 50th and 96th ceremonies when nominated if you can help out.

Meanwhile this is my tentative work schedule which is subject to change.

List	Target date for FLC submission
54th Academy Awards	February 3, 2024
50th Academy Awards	February 24, 2024
1996 Summer Olympics medal table	March 25, 2024
55th Academy Awards	May 21, 2024
96th Academy Awards	July 29, 2024
List of accolades received by Oppenheimer (film)	circa September 11, 2024
57th Academy Awards	February 6, 2025

There are also other lists/articles I am considering improving down the road:

• 2020 World Series
• Cillian Murphy on stage and screen
• Matthew Stafford
• List of Los Angeles Rams starting quarterbacks
• Squirtle
• Super Bowl LVI

So that is what I'm planning to do. Hope you can help me first with the 50th Academy Awards.

@Birdienest81: I'd be happy to look over some of those lists, particularly the 50th Academy Awards. I don't want to overcommit to anything right now because I'd like to focus on the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards once that list stabilizes after Monday, but I'll see where I can help.

@RunningTiger123: That's totally fine. In fact, I am willing to help you a little bit on improving the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards in terms of facts, reviews, and other important info. Bear in mind, I have some computer issue and may not respond swiftly.

54th Academy Awards FLC and help with 75th Primetime Emmy Awards

Hi there,

I was wondering if you could proofread the 54th Academy Awards for featured list consideration? I would appreciate the help. Also, I could help you with finishing up the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards for featured list consideration down the road. I could help you find reviews and other facts about the winners.

Renominated Critical Role (campaign two) to FLC

I couldn't find any guidance on pinging reviewers from old nominations but I wanted to let you know that I renominated Critical Role (campaign two) to FLC. In the last round, I didn't have time to incorporate all your suggestions before the nomination closed. The major outstanding concern (plural verbs) was mostly addressed by another editor & I just fixed the ones they missed that were on your list. If you have time to take a look at the new nomination, that would be awesome. Thanks! Sariel Xilo (talk) 22:39, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

• Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
• Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
• Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
• Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
• Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
• Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
• Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
• Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
• Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
• Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
• Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
• Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
• Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
• Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
• Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
• Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
• Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

DYK for William Lambdin Prather

On 21 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article William Lambdin Prather, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that William Lambdin Prather introduced the phrase "the eyes of Texas are upon you", which was incorporated into the school song of the University of Texas at Austin?
