@Girth Summit: Thanks for the goat. I had a stressful 2020, but I'm definitely glad to be back. How have you been lately? Clovermoss (talk) 22:32, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Clovermoss, my 2020 sucked, big time. I lost a close family member, and my job, to the virus, and to top it all off our dog died. In summary: an absolutely shit year. Sorry to hear that it was stressful for you too - so many people suffered, and are still suffereing, we've just got to keep trying to move forward: I have a new job (longer commute, but it's a nice drive), and we filled the dog-shaped hole in our lives with a little puppy in December, who is now a cuddly, clumsy, joyful girl. So yeah - we are where we are. Right now, trying to make it through to the end of term - looking forward to a summer break! Girth Summit _(blether) 22:45, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Clovermoss! Here is the June 2021 issue of

Wikipedia News

• The IRC channels used for Wikipedia have changed, you can read more on it here. While TWW was aware of this in the last issue, we decided to wait and publish this in this issue, when the issue is not as new any more, and more information has been developed.
• There was quick interruption in editing on Wikipedia, that was to test server switching should an emergency happen, more details can be found here.

Hi Abryn. I'm sorry I never got back to you. I don't think I'm interested at this time, but I'll consider it in the future. Thanks for checking in and asking. Clovermoss (talk) 16:04, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi CM! It's nice to see your name on my watchlist again! FYI that new user help thing we talked about way back when at User talk:Clovermoss/Archive 4#Editor retention, typo trivia has now turned into {{help button}}, thought you'd like to know (and thanks for your help in inspiring it). Anyway, glad you're back and happy editing! Levivich 18:58, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

@Levivich: Thank you for letting me know. I can't believe I actually inspired this, it looks great. Happy editing to you, too. Clovermoss (talk) 19:05, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello Clovermoss -- With the goal of helping to progress the WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) women’s rights-themed GA nomination goal for 2021, I’m proposing that WiG hold a special editathon event in the fall (maybe October/November?). I can assist with logistics, but I need to know how much interest/support there might be from WiG participants first. Please let me know what you think in the talk page conversation! All the best, Alanna the Brave (talk) 01:52, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Alanna the Brave. Thanks for letting me know. I mainly see WiG as an aspirational thing that I want to eventually be a more active part of. I have never really participated in an editathon before and I have limited experience with the GA process. I joined WiG because I wanted to work on getting Katherine Hughes (activist) to GA. I'll probrably get back to trying to work on that goal sometime soon. I looked at the talk page conversation, and I'm not sure that there's much I could to do help, at least at this time. Maybe I'll change my mind once I feel like I have a better grip on the GA process. I noticed that the goal seems to be to improve women's rights-related articles. I started Women's Franchise Act, but it could still be improved. I remember having a hard time with digital sources, but there's likely more info out there in physical sources like books. Clovermoss (talk) 16:26, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

If you're interested in simply participating in this editathon (as opposed to helping organize it), that's totally welcome -- I'm envisioning this event as being helpful for editors who want to learn more about the GA process and criteria. We may have a few more experienced GA editors act as general mentors (answering questions, giving quick article assessments, etc). What kind of resources/support would you find most useful in gaining a better grip on the GA process? Any suggestions you have would be great. Alanna the Brave (talk) 17:14, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Alanna the Brave Yes, I'd be more interested in participating rather than organized the editathon. I recently got hired for full time work though, so I might not be as available as I might want to be in the future. I'll be sure to let you know either way before then. The mentorship part sounds like one of the more helpful resources. Clovermoss (talk) 17:41, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Sounds good -- we can touch base again later. And congrats on the job! Alanna the Brave (talk) 18:31, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

I appreciate your support and trust in my recent run for admin. I very much appreciate your compliment; I find being kind, responsive and collegial on Wikipedia works better than other strategies. I've had an interesting first few weeks and am learning a lot by being able to better watch (through tools) what admins do. Please call on me if you see making an error, or if you just need help. Thanks again. BusterD (talk) 17:32, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

The article Katherine Hughes (activist) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Katherine Hughes (activist) for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Buidhe -- Buidhe (talk) 01:41, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
