FAC
[edit]I take it you're going to wait some months before getting narwhal to FAC. I definitely would like to see some more cetacean FAs and have some on my radar, but I'm gonna work on some non-mammals before then. All I can say is to look though every single line and make sure it is supported by the next cite. You can also look at this book. Good luck. LittleJerry (talk) 22:11, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think it will take up to 9 months for narwhal to be seen at FAC again. In the interim, I'll continue working with GANs and carry out my other tasks here. I bought that 2014 book last month, so I'll be giving it more attention. I also note that you say you wanna work on non-mammal articles; if that includes ostrich, cassowary, skink, giant squid, great white shark or mudskippers--please let me know.

- As of right now, my next planned FAC project is clownfish. I have been thinking about GWS more recently, but that article is already well built. I think you should aim for six months. LittleJerry (talk) 22:57, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Good choice on clownfish; seems like a reasonable animal to go for. About narwhal, I don't think 6 months will align perfectly with my calendar, as I have something big planned for February. Other than that, I think you should try to push great white shark to FA, at least before the end of the decade. Wolverine XI (talk to me) 13:39, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Another thing you can do is look at old FAs at WP:URFA/2020. You could review them or declare them "Satisfactory" (three of these takes them off the list) All of my pre-2015 articles are there like giraffe and elephant. LittleJerry (talk) 22:58, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Say less; I'll check it out later today. Wolverine XI (talk to me) 05:10, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- On second thought, LittleJerry, I don't think I have the right to review articles in this list and declare them "Satisfactory". I think that should be left to the editors who know what to expect from an FA, which, quite frankly, doesn't include me. Maybe after I promote a few articles, I'll have the confidence to help with the backlog, but until then, it's a no from me. Wolverine XI (talk to me) 22:41, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Narwhal article
[edit]Great to see that you're attempting to improve Narwhal to FA status (I might assist if I have time because I'm working on getting an Earth science topic to FT). However, you reverted one of my edits that unpiped inappropriately piped links.
From MOS:NOPIPE, a MOS page:As per WP:NOTBROKEN and § Link specificity above, do not use a piped link where it is possible to use a redirected term that fits well within the scope of the text.
We want direct links not redirects.
I strongly suggest you read the linked guidelines, as well as the reasons not to bypass a redirect on WP:NOTBROKEN. Also, who's "we"? Does not violate MOS at all.
Wrong. They are a violation of MOS guidelines per the quote from the MOS subpage I linked and the text I quoted, as the purpose of those piped links is to bypass helpful redirects.
Also, If you disagree, ask me on my talk page instead of reverting.
You did not do this. Instead, you reverted with an incorrect objection and told me to discuss it on your talk page before reverting, which I'm only doing because you do not understand why they should be unpiped and I follow WP:1RR. I kindly ask you to not do it again in the future. ZZZ'S 23:24, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Zzzs: I read the guideline pages, and I see that you have a point, but I still don't agree with the Linnaeus redirect link. The other links you altered seemed reasonable nonetheless. Wolverine XI (talk to me) 03:29, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Alright then. I'll restore the edit, but I won't change the Linnaeus piped link. ZZZ'S 04:31, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- No problem. Wolverine XI (talk to me) 05:13, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Alright then. I'll restore the edit, but I won't change the Linnaeus piped link. ZZZ'S 04:31, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
