Re: Fisheries in the Philippines

edit

Thanks for the review at DYK! It means a lot because I partly joined the DCWC to try and force myself to finish that draft, and I thought it may have been too late. Originally I was going to write an article on fisheries management areas as I find it interesting as a topic (see my request for a map here which sadly no-one was able to do). However, I noticed the distinct lack of articles on fisheries for the Philippines or Indonesia (the other country I know of with FMAs), so I thought I may as well make one of those articles. Sadly, sources begot sources and the article got too long and the scope kept creeping and we are where we are. I've never made a good topic; I don't know how to evaluate whether this is every article you would expect from a topic on Philippine fisheries. I am generally quite hesitant to nominate GAs, and the sub-articles started as holding pens for overflowing information so may still need work. I know I wouldn't consider the Aquaculture article a GA, and would also have to take another look at Commercial fisheries. If you have thoughts from the perspective of someone who hasn't had their brain turned to mush by this topic for months, I'd of course welcome them. CMD (talk) 08:36, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I do always also say the criteria are lenient, but perhaps I also don't treat my own work the same way. The second opinion is really quite helpful though, I will keep it in mind. Recreational fishing does exist, perhaps mostly as tourism, but it's not going to be a big thing on its own as for the vast majority of people anyone recreationally fishing would eat or sell the resulting fish anyway. However, there is definitely enough out there to have a dedicated article on illegal fishing, I suspect there would be for most countries. Further, while I haven't looked into it specifically, I suspect you could really get into the weeds and have articles on the tuna fisheries, the sardine fisheries, and specific species farming if you wanted. For example, I WP:REDYESed genetically improved farmed tilapia, itself a subset of wider tilapia farming. So I'm not sure where the boundary lies in GT between the actual articles and the possible articles. CMD (talk) 01:32, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
CMD From what I have seen the line for GT is where the components parts provide a overview of the whole topic. There's way more you could say add to Wikipedia:Good topics/Macedonia (ancient kingdom), Wikipedia:Featured topics/Everglades, or Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Han dynasty, but they give an overview of the topic collectively from a bunch of different angles under the main article. I don't think specific species fisheries would be needed, since they'd be given some coverage across all the articles. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 01:53, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

DCWC closing update

edit

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points,     Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions;     BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months,     Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three,   BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)!   Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

Thank you for high quality content all around! - My story today is about a composer and choir conductor, listen to his Lamento. - My story on 13 October was about a Bach cantata. As this place works, it's on the Main page now because of the date (but Bach wrote it for the 20th Sunday, not the Tuesday after the 21st Sunday after Trinity). I sort of like it because today is the birth date of my grandfather who loved and grew dahlias like those pictured. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:27, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your WikiCup submission: Template:Did you know nominations/Wing Sam Chinn

edit

Hi Generalissima, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Template:Did you know nominations/Wing Sam Chinn for DYK points, but unfortunately it is not eligible for DYK points because it was nominated to DYK as a newly promoted GA. Had you nominated the page to DYK when it was first created/expanded, the article would've been eligible for DYK points.

I know this can be disappointing, but Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Did you know? states that only newly created or expanded DYKs are eligible for DYK points. The rules specifically exclude DYK submissions from receiving points if their appearance on DYK is solely because the article was a newly promoted GA.

Thank you today for the article, written in collaboration and introduced: "Ah, the United States commemorative half dollars. By the 1930s, these were getting much less special as every nonprofit in the country seemingly tried to fundraise through one of them. The Texas commemorative half is famed for its absurdly intricate reverse design, which is a great example of the pitfalls of coin design by committee. I initially planned to bring this up to FA by my lonesome, but Wehwalt took an interest to it and added a bunch of contemporary newspaper sources, so now it's a co-nomination! Hope you enjoy the read."! - Congratulations also to the unbelievable array of qality articles you touched recently, resulting in a third place in the WikiCup! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:10, 15 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

You recently recommended a reference format that includes things like "{{harvid|StreetNapieralaJanssens|2015}}" and "Street, Martin; Napierala, Hannes; Janssens, Luc."

Vaguely threatening userpage message.

Reward board

Hey, are the reward board offers you made for keel-billed toucan and great currasow still active? If they are I'd like to try my hand at getting one (or maybe even both) of them to FA. AryKun (talk) 19:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

AryKun Yup! :) Knock yourself out, that'd be real fun (and if you do both of them, easier to ship for me, lol) Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 19:58, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you today for Bonn–Oberkassel dog, about "one of the oldest known examples of a domestic dog that modern archaeology is pretty sure about. We've found more late Paleolithic dogs since it was discovered in the 1910s, but what's most important about this little pup is the evidence of early veterinary care, and how ancient humans cared for this creature, seemingly out of compassion alone."! - Thank you especially for bringing compassion into play. Best wishes for the season; - click on story and music over the days to coma and see if there's something for you, - Bach alone wrote three Christmas cantatas for the 1724 season, in focus this year. Today, however, Sigrid Kehl on the Main page. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:20, 23 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
