- Man, I don't know what is going on at the Internet archive.--Bddpaux (talk) 19:36, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
Let's re-calibrate just a bit
So, internet archive saves are acting SUPER WONKY, so let's pivot to a pinch of gatwicking to make this sane, if possible. As of my time (12:59pm in Texas) the top source (9:53AM Texas time today) lists all fires as contained. Doing my best here.--Bddpaux (talk) 18:00, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Done and submitted. A hair shorter than I'd hoped. Don't know how to link the photo back to the Commons page.--Bddpaux (talk) 18:16, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Are you in Texas? Do you have any photos, please? This could refresh this a bit? Gryllida (talk) 02:40, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Make lead

I appear to require assistance to put it as lead article. I am a bit busy right now to go through the Wikinews:Make lead process. Once this is done, I can approve the edits. Thanks and regards, -- Gryllida (talk) 22:44, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

┌───────────────────┘
Just a quick note—the link correction wasn’t sighted at the time it was made after publication, though it could’ve been done then to have the update show up immediately in the published version. I've gone ahead and sighted it now, even though we're past the 24-hour mark, since archive conventions permit typo fixes (this one just needed a capital "F" in Fire).
@Gryllida, Bddpaux: Also, the tool User:Asked42/LeadManager has streamlined the lede shuffle process—it's user-friendly, lets you adjust all five leads at once, and is well-documented. Big thanks again to Asked42 for that one! —Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Reviewer) 15:00, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Awesome; I will try to add it to gadgets listed in Preferences. Gryllida (talk) 10:15, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
