@Grnrchst It's been quite some time since you reviewed my DYK nomination for a hook related to the above article. Well, I did ping the DYK admins but its still not been sent to the Preparation Area for appearing on the Main Page. Meanwhile, I have replaced the phrase you suggested with "was" as per your advice. Hoping to hear from you soon. Regards MSincccc (talk) 03:14, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- @MSincccc: Thanks for changing it. As for it getting into prep, just be patient. The admins have a lot of nominations to sort through, they'll get to yours (and mine) eventually. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:23, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Grnrchst It's been nearly two weeks since the article's hook was nominated for DYK. Apart from pinging the DYK admins, is there anything else we can do, or do we simply have to continue waiting? My concern isn't just about the time elapsed, but also the possibility of the nomination being overlooked. Looking forward to knowing from you. Regards MSincccc (talk) 08:02, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @MSincccc: The nomination is currently in the approved section, so it's not been overlooked. If you check the section, you'll see the admins have a lot of nominations to go through and your nomination hasn't been waiting that long in the grand scheme of things. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Gren's weekly update (5 April 2024)
Hey there everyone. Thought it might be interesting to try my hand at doing weekly updates about my work here, so I can better keep track of my progress and so anyone that's interested can read what I've worked on.
As Monday was April Fool's Day, I decided to make a fool of myself and put far too much time into researching the subject of killing baby Hitler. I remembered this public debate taking off some years back and was surprised to see just how much ethical and theoretical discussion it has generated, not only in public-facing websites and magazines, but in scholarly books and journals as well. I might make this an annual tradition going forward, depending on how many silly subjects have received significant coverage.
On Tuesday, I expanded the article on Gustave Lefrançais, whose short stub article had come to my attention due to an ongoing GA review on Joseph Déjacque. He was quite the interesting figure in early anarchist and socialist history.
On Wednesday, as part of Women in Red's S & T alphabet run: I wrote an article about Armenian academic Seta Kabranian-Melkonian, who I knew about tangentially from my past research on the First Nagorno-Karabakh War; I also wrote about Soledad Real, a Catalan communist that was active throughout the Francoist dictatorship, even after they had her imprisoned.
On Thursday, I expanded the article on José Pellicer Gandía, one of the leaders of the famous Iron Column that fought the Spanish Nationalists from Valencia to Aragon. It was rather sad to read about the way he died, having actually received clemency but without the authorities caring to enact it. An awful recurrent event during the Francoist regime.
On Friday, I wrote an article about Nelly Trumel, also for WiR's S & T run. Trumel managed to liberate herself from an abusive domesticity to become an active participant in France's feminist movement, both in her work for anarchist radio and as a painter, which symbolised her philosophy. She also liked potatoes, so she's in my good books for that alone.
Throughout the week, I've also been working through the above-mentioned review on Joseph Déjacque, I completed my own review of "Zombie" by The Cranberries (one of my favourite Grunge songs) and I have just opened a review on Iveta Radičová, Slovakia's first woman prime minister. Next week I'll be doing more work on writing articles about women, trying to tighten up some of my B-class articles that are close to GA and compiling sources for an upcoming major rework of the article on Voltairine de Cleyre.
All the best to you, both this week and the next, dear reader. See you next Friday. <3 --Grnrchst (talk) 15:26, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Gren's weekly update (12 April 2024)
This week I was very focused on improving our coverage of people that have been the Secretary General of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo, which is work I will probably continue into the near future.
On Monday, for International Romani Day, I expanded our articles on: Helios Gómez, a Calé artist that designed many of the CNT's famous propaganda posters; and Mariano R. Vázquez, who led the CNT through the Spanish Civil War. It was interesting to read about these figures, how they influenced and were influenced by the events of their time, and how their Romani identity affected how they were seen and presented themselves. Unfortunately, I was unsurprised to see that some of Vázquez's closest colleagues treated him with such racist hostility. I hope to do more work on Romani revolutionary figures in the future, I'll put a pin in my calendar for next year!
On Tuesday and Wednesday, I spent a lot of time finding images of the various secretaries general of the CNT and filling out the list a bit more so we have a place to build our information base. I also expanded the article on Manuel Andreu from stub, so now we have a decent amount more info on the CNT's second sec-gen. It was fascinating to read about how the CNT was affected by and reorganised after its time in clandestinity, as well as how Andreu shifted over time from syndicalism to Catalan nationalism.
On Thursday, I wrote an article about Manuel Adame, who was apparently the sec-gen of the CNT in 1923 (will need to find more sources about this to confirm for certain). As with a lot of people that ended up in the Communist Party of Spain, his story was one of a spectacular rise and a dramatic fall; he was purged after he broke the party line. Throughout his life, he maintained a persistent dedication to trade unionism, in spite of any changes in his ideology or political party.
On Friday, I wrote an article about the Ush Zhuz, a very interesting Kazakh political party that blended Pan-Turkism and Pan-Islamism together with anarchism and socialism. I hadn't been exposed to a left-wing spin on Pan-Turkism before, but this party promoted it as a means to resist nationalism and unite Central Asia across ethnic lines. Their vision of a federal Central Asian republic didn't go as they appear to have hoped, as Stalin's nationalities commissariat divided the region up with borders that persist until this day and many of its members were killed during the Great Purge. I also continued my work on articles about Mariano Vázquez and Carlo Cafiero, which I nominate for GA soon.
Throughout the week I've also been continuing my reviews of GA articles and improving my GA nom of Joseph Déjacque, which I hope will be finished soon. Next week I'll be working on the article about Voltairine de Cleyre, probably doing more about the CNT sec-gens and attempting to contribute more to this month's Women in Red creations. Take care dear reader, have a wonderful weekend. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:47, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Gren's weekly update (19 April 2024)
Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well. This week my work has been a bit all o'er the place, so I'll be doing a topic-by-topic breakdown instead of a day-by-day one.
This week I began my work expanding the article on Voltairine de Cleyre. For some reason I researching things non-linearly, so I've started with her early and later life and am moving inwards from there. I also came across a lot of information about her family and friends, so expect new or expanded articles on them too over the coming month. This week, as I was looking at her early life, I ended up creating articles about her father Hector De Claire, mother Harriet De Claire and sister Adelaide D. Thayer. I'm looking forward to researching more about her, although I have to see, reading her biography has made me quite sad. De Cleyre was a troubled person that went through so much, both physically and emotionally. I hope I'll be able to communicate the full extent of her life well in the article as it expands.
Continuing on this months' Women in Red edit-a-thon, I have written an article about Dení Prieto Stock, a revolutionary woman who died fighting for the FLN during the Mexican dirty war. I also translated the Spanish Wikipedia articles on Sara Socas and Erika Dos Santos, originally authored by Zapipedia. I recently had the pleasure of seeing these two play live in concert, so I was more than happy to get articles about them both up on the English wiki. If you ever get the chance, do check out their music, I highly recommend it.
Returning to my work on the Spanish anarchists, this week I've come close to completing the article on Mariano R. Vázquez, which I think will be ready for GA with a bit of copy editing and after checking some other sources for more information. I also expanded the article about Ricardo Sanz García from stub, which was interesting, as I know so much about the Durruti Column and the Aragon front in broad strokes, but still know little about the finer details. I will probably expand this article more in the future, so stay tuned for more info on the man.
I also finally brought the article on Joseph Déjacque to good article status, thanks to the kind and helpful review by asilvering. There's a lot to be found in the biography of the founder of political libertarianism, and I hope I've done a good job communicating that. That's another vital article at GA status, go team! Next week, I plan to continue my work in each of these subject areas, working more on De Cleyre's biography, maybe expanding another article about a CNT leader and I'll be looking to write a series of articles about the Subbotina sisters. Best wishes to you this weekend, as always, dear reader. --Grnrchst (talk) 14:48, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Congrats on the GA! I enjoyed reviewing it. -- asilvering (talk) 15:09, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
