Kia ora Yvanblog, Thank you so much for coming along to the meetup today. It was great to see you. I hope you'll join us again. You don't need to even introduce yourself if you feel anxious about it. We're really happy to have people just hanging out and responding by chat if this makes you more comfortable. You'll get to know us and see we are really friendly and very happy to help editors learn new stuff. If you have any questions or you need any help - just reach out on my talk page.

Thanks for your participation in our online meetup. I hope you found something of interest. If you are happy to do so, please add a short summary of your recent work to the "round table" section of the notes here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Meetup/Aotearoa_New_Zealand_Online/40#Round_table_for_participants . Of course this is entirely up to you. I hope you will be able to join the monthly online meetup again. In the meantime, you are welcome to contact me, or others who were online today, for assistance. As I said during the meeting, we welcome different forms of contribution to the work of the Wikimedia movement, and really appreciate those who put time into incremental improvements of Wikipedia articles.

It was nice to meet you at the Aotearoa Meetup today. Just wanted to mention that I'm in Christchurch regularly and am likely to organise a Wikimedian meetup over summer, to which you're of course invited. — Giantflightlessbirds ( talk) 09:27, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
(erm) Hi, I heard your comment yesterday about asking whether you should change the image of an article. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle. If you think a change should be made, be bold and change it. If someone disagrees, they may revert it, but then you can use a talk page to discuss why you think the change should be made. In short, if you think a change should be made, you don't need to ask for permission. — Panamitsu (talk) Please ping on reply 22:45, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing.

An article you recently created,
Opihi College, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede 66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi there. I noticed you recently reverting some edits like this and this. After doing so, it's important you add a comment on the user's talk page. New editors aren't necessarily going to know how to view the edit summary of your reversion. By placing a comment on their talk page (such as {{ Welcomeunsourced}}), you encourage them to read up on our policies, instead of simply getting frustrated their edits were removed and re-adding them. Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 22:11, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Similarly, it's important you place warnings on user pages after reverting their (possibly) vandal edits. By using multiple levels of warnings, other editors can keep track of how many times users have made unconstructive edits. Generally, after the user has received four warnings, they are then reported to WP:AIV. Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 22:15, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi Yvanyblog. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY 10:49, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
I moved the article and closed the deletion discussion that you had started on Draft:Bakhit Khamis. Your comment of "Should be moved to draft space." should have resulted in simply moving the article to the draft space if you did not feel it was ready for the main space. thank you for looking at it.

Hello, Yvanyblog,
Please do not bring articles to AFD if you believe they should be draftified. This is also noted in the message above this one. Draftifying is an action that can be done without engaging in a week-long debate about it. Just abide by WP:DRAFTIFY and use a tool like User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft. Thank you. Liz Read!

Hi,
Just a quick note to let you know I reverted your edit at " Cycling". The journal article cited in the reference is freely available online, and the pagination (101651) is as given in the ref.
Best wishes, Jean-de-Nivelle ( talk) 22:36, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
The version of the article that you reverted to is not neutral. It outright calls Koreans, as a whole, chauvinistic, racist, and xenophobic. It then tries to back its claims by bringing up heavily biased articles.
In truth, I believe that this article itself should be removed, as not only this notion of "ethnic nationalism" is no longer prevalent, but also very flawed (The term minjok is nothing but a Koreanized version of the Chinese word minzu and the Japanese word Minzoku. It refers to a "people", rather than a race).
However, nobody seems to have at least tried to make a vote in the form of a "talk" on removing it. Therefore, I believed that the least action possible to achieve even the tiniest bit of justice for this article, is to delete and edit the biased parts of it. That is why I did the undos.
Also I noticed that the user who kept trying to keep the biased article have somehow undone my talks to you, and deleted the whole discussion on the neutrality of that article. How is that even possible?

Hello, thank you for reaching out. As you mentioned, you removed a number of my edits in which I credit Sofia 'Sofi' Lee as the person who coined the term Frutiger Aero, with the reason of lack of citation.

Regarding the edit I made to Atomic Blonde, I changed the link in the word spy to go to the espionage page. Before, the link sent the reader to the page for the 2015 film Spy, which has nothing to do with Atomic Blonde (at least as far as I can tell). The link to espionage is not necessary, but I don't see why it links to Spy. 98.110.171.165 ( talk) 01:53, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
I see that you quite often watch my contributions, and I have to say that it is not the most pleasant experience for me. May I ask why you are doing this?
Here are some examples:
your recent edits to your draft space seem to be made solely to increase your edit count..." as I was creating the Index of September 11 attacks articles. @ Schwede66: (sorry to bring you into this), but does this look like I'm trying to artificially increase my edit count?
