The article Ukuthwasa you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Ukuthwasa for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

@Sawyer-mcdonell thanks for the review. I will amend the article. I hope you do not mind if I tag you after I fix it, just to recheck. If you have more observations please include them. I understand your issues with using words like "journey" and "traditional practice" put I do not think I can change that as I do not want to upheld one view especially after South Africa adopted the Traditional Health Practitioners Act 35 of 2004 but I understand the sentiment. I also understand the contested sources used for the ritual part but whether the pratices is wrong or right, these sources converge when describing the event. FuzzyMagma (talk) 08:29, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to give more feedback when the article has improved - I understand the motivation to not want to uphold one view of the phenomenon, but I think then that the multiple perspectives need to be explained more fully, using academic sources. sawyer * he/they * talk 20:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Czarking0 thank you very much for reviewing the article, and its been a pleasure working with you. Take care FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:24, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, I am going to take a little break from Sudanese topics because I like to keep it diverse but I will probably review another of your articles in the future as you are a great contributor to the Sudan project. The materials science stuff is a little over my head but thanks for your work there too Czarking0 (talk) 15:01, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you change the Jazz template to look more like this?

Could you also add this template to the page for Electro swing?

Hey fuzzy , their is a guy on the kingdom of Kush talk page, he seems angry with a historically sound edit that I and others contributed to, the conversation between him and me has become childish, can you moderate it or erase it ? thanks brother Jedorton (talk) 15:04, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok I understand I won't attack other editors Jedorton (talk) 14:28, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing that. FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:29, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By amend you mean removing my negative comments on the kingdom of Kush/talk/Noba board ? if so I can do that Jedorton (talk) 14:47, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello FuzzyMagma,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Very nice work @Ldm1954. I will read it in details ASAP. If you feel like nominating the article to a GA, please do and I will review it by the end of April.

PS: it is really intimidating to review the work of someone with your in-depth knowledge about the topic.

Thanks for all your suggestions, most of which I have incorporated. I just moved it to main space, and will add some links. I want to wait a week before doing a GA nomination, but I do think that is appropriate. Ldm1954 (talk) 00:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence that starts with “Vik Sohonie, founder …” is about the album. I can create an article or make a clear subsection for the album if the will make it easier to spot FuzzyMagma (talk) 08:44, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free cover art (album covers, book covers, video game box covers, etc.) is generally OK to use per Wikipedia's non-free content use policy when the cover art is being used for primary identification purposes in the main infobox or at the top of a stand-alone article about the work the cover art represents. That's why you often find non-free book covers being used in stand-alone articles about books, non-free album covers being used in stand-alone articles about albums and non-free video game box covers being used in stand-alone articles about video games. Trying to use non-free cover art in other ways or in other articles tends to be much much harder to justify and is pretty much never allowed unless there is sourced critical commentary relevant encyclopedically to readers somewhere in the article that significantly improves the reader's understanding of article content about the cover to such a degree that omitting the cover art from the article would be detrimental to that understanding. That might seem like a high hurdle, but how relevant policy has been applied over the years to such non-free content. This is one of the reasons why you seldom see non-free book covers in articles about the authors, non-free album covers in articles about bands, non-free video game box covers in articles about video game companies/designers. Moreover, pretty much anytime you do find such files being used in such articles, they've usually been added in good faith but they're almost always not compliant with relevant policy.

In this particular case, the album the cover art represents is mentioned by name only twice in the article and one of those mentions is in the file's caption. (Btw, you might want to check the spelling of the album's name in the caption because it's different from the spelling of the name in the body of the article.) There might be content about the album in the body of the article, but none it is (or at least seems to be) about the album's cover itself. In other words, take out the image and read the article; if there's basically no or very little loss in understanding about what's written about the album, there's probably no valid justification for using the cover art.

If you feel the article satisfies

WP:MCQ to see what other's might think. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

I definitely do not think you assessed the situation incorrectly. I just thought my argument can hold water given that half of the article is about the album (not necessarily the album cover itself but that is also true for most album pages here).

I can find some exceptions where there is an album cover in an musician wikipage, as I saw some album pages being merged after a discussion. BUT that is beside the point, so if you still think - based on your excellent experience - that this album cover doesn’t meet the requirements for a free-use, then I will revert my edit and put the PROD back. I still see that it serves many purposes as it shows the artist, links its style with different cultural aspects; it’s really powerful but maybe I am biased. FuzzyMagma (talk) 20:20, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Often when people merge stand-alone articles about albums into other articles, very little if any consideration is given to the use of non-free content and how it's affected by the merge. Most users just seem to incorrectly assume that the content is OK to use because it's already be approved for use. Many don't even bother to update the content's non-free use rationale to reflect the new article when the content is now being used and the way it's now being used. So, while I'm sure you've seen cases of album covers being used in articles about bands/musicians, most of these are probably not policy compliant and just haven't been noticed yet. Moreover, non-free content use is, in principle, suppossed to be assessed on a case-by-case basis as explained in

WP:FFD to see whether you (or anyone else) can establish a consensus in favor of its use in the article. I will, however, ask an administrator who works with non-free content a lot to take a look and see if there's another way. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

Hello, here's a talk with lots of interesting material for one or more articles. On my side, there's too much to do right now, but this sounds just like your kind of subject. Tarek Elhadd has many publications at https://search.worldcat.org/de/search?q=au=%22ELHADD%2C%20TARIK%22 😉 And here is his talk on video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7oIEXI04VUc&t=991s&pp=2AHfB5ACAQ%3D%3D&noapp=1 Cheers, Munfarid1 (talk) 14:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
