You may be eligible to vote in the U4C election
I am contacting you because you previously voted in elections related to the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). You may be eligible to vote in the current U4C election, which is open now and closes on 2 June 2026. You can find out more about the candidates and the election on the election page on Meta, and from there you can access the vote itself. Your participation in these elections is important to the governance of Wikimedia communities, and your time spent learning about the candidates and voting is appreciated.

Julien Thoulet DYK?
Great work on Julien Thoulet! Would you be interested in nominating it for Did You Know so it can appear in a France themed set on Bastille Day? Best, Thriley (talk) 23:22, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks, I stay away from most things with complex procedures and hoop-jumping including DYK, GA, and FA. If someone else wants to do it, I am happy to help. Shyamal (talk) 01:27, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
- I understand. The process can be tiring. I'll set up the nomination. Feel free to suggest any hooks. There are several I'm seeing in the article right now. Thriley (talk) 15:12, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
- Any hooks you would like to suggest? Happy to offer up whatever you like or you can just add them to the nomination. Thriley (talk) 16:30, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

DYK for Julien Thoulet
On 4 August 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Julien Thoulet, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that French oceanographer Julien Thoulet felt that the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans would "tend towards perfection" but would "never be completed"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Julien Thoulet. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (Julien Thoulet), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.
