T301928)My extraordinarily high opinion of you and your WP work briefly plummeted :) I was genuinely really confused, haha... I'm considering either Romantic music or Concerto for the TCC (if I do enter at all this time)... any thoughts? Both are barely C class, and the massive list in concerto is especially worrying—it will probably have to be moved, or removed in its entirety! I thought about Symphony, but it seems to be in readable shape at least. Aza24 ( talk) 06:39, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello back. Do you have any question about editing Wikipedia? Happy to help! Femke ( talk) 17:00, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
Heya! A while back you declined my AfC for Irene Goergens.I added some more references since then, and a tiny bit of content (there isn't much else to add) and was wondering if you would be willing to reconsider it now? P.S. I hope you had a good holiday Medarduss ( talk) 15:07, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello Femkemilene, I've got a question. Reading IPCC Sixth Assessment Report I saw the Table "Shared Socioeconomic Pathways in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report [26]" ( Template:AR6 SSP table), which also gives a likelyhood of the given SSPs. However, as far as I knw, the IPCC doesn't state the likelyhood, and if I understand it correctly, the likelyhood is taken from source [27], a comment by Housefather and Peters. I find it deeply troubling that in this article findings from the IPCC and informed guesses in comments are mixed up, especially since I fear most readers don't understand at all, that the likelyhood isn't taken from the IPCC, but from a mere comment. In my opinion, this should be deleted, as it is missleading. The entry is about AR6, not some comment published two years ago. What do you think? Unfortunately I am not that deep in the AR6 that I could change that myself. Greetings, Andol ( talk) 14:24, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello Femke. Upon returning to Wikipedia after a long break, I found that two years ago you had reverted a minor edit of mine. I had removed the funny mention of Greta Thunberg being "distantly related" to Arrhenius. My intent was that of bettering Wikipedia, in this specific case helping it depart from a tabloid tone - based on false references, too. The referenced source, a blog post, was crystal clear: the blogger had been stricken by Greta's father sharing his first name, Svante, with Arrhenius. Some overexcited Wikipedia author unused to citation, without even reading the source s/he was quoting, decided to describe Greta as a descendant of Svante Arrhenius. LOL. I am happy to notice that such a silly remark has finally found its way out of Greta's article. Thunberg is a gigantic personality, an exceptional woman, and a worldwide civil hero: she needs no tabloid-like tones in encyclopedic articles about her. I am sure you agree by now! 😊 Majorbolz ( talk) 08:52, 16 May 2022 (UTC) (Peter, distantly related to the Apostle!)
Greta is distantly related to Svante Arrhenius.. But that's irrelevant, as we shouldn't be using this source in the first place). Happy to see you back here. Femke ( talk) 16:17, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

hello -- Laldi ( talk) 11:47, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
Your remarks at Talk: Gustave Courbet are counterproductive. There has been no "discussion" because the editors who preside over this page have offered nothing in the way of evidence that the section on "Courbet and Cubism" is inappropriate, though they have insisted for years that it should be removed. No reason has been given, and you know it.
Your insinuation that I "insulted" any editor on this matter is, in fact, a covert ad hominem against me. Now deny it.-- CerroFerro ( talk) 17:27, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
"Engage further" would be to provide source material, as requested, that can discredit the "Courbet and Cubism." None, thus far, has surfaced. This, then, by dear Femke, is your understanding of an "insult." Nonetheless, you have demonstrated, for posterity, the tactics of the Wiki Establishment (WE). -- CerroFerro ( talk) 17:52, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Femke,
I see you just edited an electricity article. Some years ago I and many others made several unsuccessful attempts to get pv-magazine.com removed from the spam blacklist at MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist (the line is \bpv-magazine\.com\b). But I gave up after spending a lot of time trying. I don't have any COI by the way.
Don't know if you feel it might be worth your time and the aggravation of you making a request?

On 3 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tipping points in the climate system, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Amazon rainforest may change into a savanna once it passes a tipping point? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tipping points in the climate system. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Tipping points in the climate system), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Hi, I attempted to make a couple edits to the Pro Tools wiki today, which focused on the contributions other people (not myself) who developed software components for the earliest versions of Pro Tools. As someone who was employed by the company, I know first hand "who did what". There are web citation sources that also establish the same history. It appears that my changes were automatically rejected. I suspect this is due to my attempted to write about myself in this same context a few months ago. I endorse the principle that people should not write about themselves. However, these current edits were solely oriented toward documenting the contributions of others. If you can let me know why my "submit" was rejected and what steps I can take to remedy the issue, I would be grateful. Thanks, in advance. -- MarkRJeffery ( talk) 22:34, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

My humble apologies but I don't remember it properly. I created King Thor (Earth 14412) because I wanted to create a character page. But soon I find out there's another page named 'King Thor.

Hello, Femke! I'd like to ask for clarification about the
Climate change article. I had a debate with FinancialCents, but somehow I couldn't understand the concern regarding NASA. Unless I am completely wrong, the NASA ref simply states "Climate change" and "global warming" are often used interchangeably but have distinct meanings
. Our WP article says this almost verbatim, but previously also distinguishes the difference between climate change and global warming. Therefore, I'm unsure why FinancialCents argued that our article misrepresented NASA, but am I missing something? If so, could you please point it out? Many thanks for your time and help!
VickKiang
03:47, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
I was able to begin a discussion, but the conversation quickly became controlled by few editors in an antagonistic fashion, with problematic misinterpretations and misrepresentations. I did visit past history and a comfortable number of editors had voted for the correct representation. The controlling editors are claiming the NASA sources assert entirely the opposite of what they do state, plain as day. This is clearly a bias, right at the beginning of the article, beginning with the title. It is even possible the bias could be politically motivated, I'll abstain from this discussion to avoid another dispute. Many thanks! VickKiang (talk) 05:02, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Femke. I'm wondering if we have a guideline that says what a "high quality reliable source" is for science articles, particularly climate change. This is a term I've seen you use and I think it's a useful concept. My first thought was that WP:SCIRS covers it. It occurred to me to try to retitle it Identifying high quality reliable sources for science and try to get consensus around making it be a guideline. But after taking a quick look at this recent discussion on RSN], it may need more work. Clayoquot ( talk | contribs) 02:44, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

.Hey @ Femke, following up on our discussion about link color. I was hoping to work out some thoughts here before adding more comments to the phabricator task.
I believe there are two values we care about:
What I believe you are saying is: if faced with a tradeoff between these two, the first, contrast between link color & background color, is more important than the second. Therefore it doesn’t make sense to have:
Instead, we should have the reverse (AAA on the first, and AA on the second). Given that, we should aim to darken the blue link color (#3366cc) slightly, thereby increasing the contrast between link color & background color, while decreasing the contrast between link color & body text color.
However, I have not yet been able to find such a blue. For example here are two blues that have a AAA contrast with the background color:
But both of these blues fail the contrast test with the body text color. So is your suggestion: pick a blue that has AAA contrast with the background color, even if that means it fails the contrast test with the body text color?

Hello Femke,
Congratulations on your promotion to lecturer and I have an academic question.
Perhaps not related to source-text integrity but your message on my talk page and recent edit on individual action on climate change got me thinking. Feel free to move the rest of this to the talk page of that article if you think other people might be interested.
I don’t know if you had time to read Talk:Individual action on climate change#Problems with the having fewer children action but after that I emailed Seth Wynes but he did not reply, perhaps because I am not an academic. However academics and others have criticised the paper. It seems the only way it could be removed as a Wikipedia cite would be if the paper was retracted? As the article has source-text integrity I think but I think the underlying source is wrong or at least out of date. If you have time perhaps you could read it and perhaps Murtaugh and Schlax (2009) at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0959378008001003?via%3Dihub and see whether you think it is still valid now. I have pretty much given up on trying to change that article as it was getting too frustrating and time consuming. Chidgk1 ( talk) 15:11, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions review process.
The Arbitration Committee has concluded the 2021-22 review of the contentious topics system (formerly known as discretionary sanctions), and its final decision is viewable at the revision process page. As part of the review process, the Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
The above proposals that are supported by an absolute majority of unrecused active arbitrators are hereby enacted. The drafting arbitrators (CaptainEek, L235, and Wugapodes) are directed to take the actions necessary to bring the proposals enacted by this motion into effect, including by amending the procedures at WP:AC/P and WP:AC/DS. The authority granted to the drafting arbitrators by this motion expires one month after enactment.
The Arbitration Committee thanks all those who have participated in the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process and all who have helped bring it to a successful conclusion. This motion concludes the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process.
This motion initiates a one-month implementation period for the updates to the contentious topics system. The Arbitration Committee will announce when the initial implementation of the Committee's decision has concluded and the amendments made by the drafting arbitrators in accordance with the Committee's decision take effect. Any editors interested in the implementation process are invited to assist at the implementation talk page, and editors interested in updates may subscribe to the update list.

Hello Femkemilene, I've got a question. Reading IPCC Sixth Assessment Report I saw the Table "Shared Socioeconomic Pathways in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report [26]" ( Template:AR6 SSP table), which also gives a likelyhood of the given SSPs. However, as far as I knw, the IPCC doesn't state the likelyhood, and if I understand it correctly, the likelyhood is taken from source [27], a comment by Housefather and Peters. I find it deeply troubling that in this article findings from the IPCC and informed guesses in comments are mixed up, especially since I fear most readers don't understand at all, that the likelyhood isn't taken from the IPCC, but from a mere comment. In my opinion, this should be deleted, as it is missleading. The entry is about AR6, not some comment published two years ago. What do you think? Unfortunately I am not that deep in the AR6 that I could change that myself. Greetings, Andol ( talk) 14:24, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello Femke. Upon returning to Wikipedia after a long break, I found that two years ago you had reverted a minor edit of mine. I had removed the funny mention of Greta Thunberg being "distantly related" to Arrhenius. My intent was that of bettering Wikipedia, in this specific case helping it depart from a tabloid tone - based on false references, too. The referenced source, a blog post, was crystal clear: the blogger had been stricken by Greta's father sharing his first name, Svante, with Arrhenius. Some overexcited Wikipedia author unused to citation, without even reading the source s/he was quoting, decided to describe Greta as a descendant of Svante Arrhenius. LOL. I am happy to notice that such a silly remark has finally found its way out of Greta's article. Thunberg is a gigantic personality, an exceptional woman, and a worldwide civil hero: she needs no tabloid-like tones in encyclopedic articles about her. I am sure you agree by now! 😊 Majorbolz ( talk) 08:52, 16 May 2022 (UTC) (Peter, distantly related to the Apostle!)
Greta is distantly related to Svante Arrhenius.. But that's irrelevant, as we shouldn't be using this source in the first place). Happy to see you back here. Femke ( talk) 16:17, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

hello -- Laldi ( talk) 11:47, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
Your remarks at Talk: Gustave Courbet are counterproductive. There has been no "discussion" because the editors who preside over this page have offered nothing in the way of evidence that the section on "Courbet and Cubism" is inappropriate, though they have insisted for years that it should be removed. No reason has been given, and you know it.
Your insinuation that I "insulted" any editor on this matter is, in fact, a covert ad hominem against me. Now deny it.-- CerroFerro ( talk) 17:27, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
"Engage further" would be to provide source material, as requested, that can discredit the "Courbet and Cubism." None, thus far, has surfaced. This, then, by dear Femke, is your understanding of an "insult." Nonetheless, you have demonstrated, for posterity, the tactics of the Wiki Establishment (WE). -- CerroFerro ( talk) 17:52, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I attempted to make a couple edits to the Pro Tools wiki today, which focused on the contributions other people (not myself) who developed software components for the earliest versions of Pro Tools. As someone who was employed by the company, I know first hand "who did what". There are web citation sources that also establish the same history. It appears that my changes were automatically rejected. I suspect this is due to my attempted to write about myself in this same context a few months ago. I endorse the principle that people should not write about themselves. However, these current edits were solely oriented toward documenting the contributions of others. If you can let me know why my "submit" was rejected and what steps I can take to remedy the issue, I would be grateful. Thanks, in advance. -- MarkRJeffery ( talk) 22:34, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Femke! I'd like to ask for clarification about the
Climate change article. I had a debate with FinancialCents, but somehow I couldn't understand the concern regarding NASA. Unless I am completely wrong, the NASA ref simply states "Climate change" and "global warming" are often used interchangeably but have distinct meanings
. Our WP article says this almost verbatim, but previously also distinguishes the difference between climate change and global warming. Therefore, I'm unsure why FinancialCents argued that our article misrepresented NASA, but am I missing something? If so, could you please point it out? Many thanks for your time and help!
VickKiang
03:47, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
I was able to begin a discussion, but the conversation quickly became controlled by few editors in an antagonistic fashion, with problematic misinterpretations and misrepresentations. I did visit past history and a comfortable number of editors had voted for the correct representation. The controlling editors are claiming the NASA sources assert entirely the opposite of what they do state, plain as day. This is clearly a bias, right at the beginning of the article, beginning with the title. It is even possible the bias could be politically motivated, I'll abstain from this discussion to avoid another dispute. Many thanks! VickKiang (talk) 05:02, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Femke. I'm wondering if we have a guideline that says what a "high quality reliable source" is for science articles, particularly climate change. This is a term I've seen you use and I think it's a useful concept. My first thought was that WP:SCIRS covers it. It occurred to me to try to retitle it Identifying high quality reliable sources for science and try to get consensus around making it be a guideline.

.Hey @ Femke, following up on our discussion about link color. I was hoping to work out some thoughts here before adding more comments to the phabricator task.
I believe there are two values we care about:
What I believe you are saying is: if faced with a tradeoff between these two, the first, contrast between link color & background color, is more important than the second. Therefore it doesn’t make sense to have:
Instead, we should have the reverse (AAA on the first, and AA on the second). Given that, we should aim to darken the blue link color (#3366cc) slightly, thereby increasing the contrast between link color & background color, while decreasing the contrast between link color & body text color.
However, I have not yet been able to find such a blue. For example here are two blues that have a AAA contrast with the background color:
But both of these blues fail the contrast test with the body text color. So is your suggestion: pick a blue that has AAA contrast with the background color, even if that means it fails the contrast test with the body text color?

Hello Femke,
Congratulations on your promotion to lecturer and I have an academic question.
Perhaps not related to source-text integrity but your message on my talk page and recent edit on individual action on climate change got me thinking. Feel free to move the rest of this to the talk page of that article if you think other people might be interested.
I don’t know if you had time to read Talk:Individual action on climate change#Problems with the having fewer children action but after that I emailed Seth Wynes but he did not reply, perhaps because I am not an academic. However academics and others have criticised the paper. It seems the only way it could be removed as a Wikipedia cite would be if the paper was retracted? As the article has source-text integrity I think but I think the underlying source is wrong or at least out of date. If you have time perhaps you could read it and perhaps Murtaugh and Schlax (2009) at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0959378008001003?via%3Dihub and see whether you think it is still valid now.

You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions review process.
The Arbitration Committee has concluded the 2021-22 review of the contentious topics system (formerly known as discretionary sanctions), and its final decision is viewable at the revision process page. As part of the review process, the Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
The above proposals that are supported by an absolute majority of unrecused active arbitrators are hereby enacted. The drafting arbitrators (CaptainEek, L235, and Wugapodes) are directed to take the actions necessary to bring the proposals enacted by this motion into effect, including by amending the procedures at WP:AC/P and WP:AC/DS. The authority granted to the drafting arbitrators by this motion expires one month after enactment.
The Arbitration Committee thanks all those who have participated in the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process and all who have helped bring it to a successful conclusion. This motion concludes the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process.
This motion initiates a one-month implementation period for the updates to the contentious topics system. The Arbitration Committee will announce when the initial implementation of the Committee's decision has concluded and the amendments made by the drafting arbitrators in accordance with the Committee's decision take effect. Any editors interested in the implementation process are invited to assist at the implementation talk page, and editors interested in updates may subscribe to the update list.

Some changes that DraftCleaner apparently made to Sea level rise caused errors in some citations. I thought you should be aware of this possible issue before you use it again. Cheers for a COVID-free 2023! — RCraig09 ( talk) 21:35, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's contentious topics procedure revision process.
In December, the Arbitration Committee adopted the contentious topics procedure, which replaces the former discretionary sanctions system. The contentious topics procedure is now in effect following an initial implementation period.
The drafting arbitrators warmly thank all those who have worked to implement the new procedure during this implementation period and beyond. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 19:44, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Hey Femke. Might want to give your alt extendedconfirmed. There was a GARCloser bug earlier that was caused by an article your alt was delisting being extended confirmed protected. Hope this helps :) – Novem Linguae ( talk) 18:11, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
Good idea :). —Femke 🐦 ( talk) 20:27, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
1995 Quebec referendum has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 ( talk) 15:08, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi, re this close: what's the Category:GAR/69 for? It doesn't exist. -- Redrose64 🌹 ( talk) 19:10, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi, could you open up GAR reassessment on this article, it seems like it has been like this for years without being updated. The reception is too short + multiple unsource sentences. 2001:4455:689:B100:1567:343E:48B8:479D ( talk) 02:57, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi Femke, I noticed that your close of the East Timor GAN moved the GA tag inside the Wikiproject banner shell. I was wondering if the tool did that or you edited it manually? CMD ( talk) 15:05, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi Femke! I posted a request for pending changes reviewer permission a few days ago, but I do not believe it's been reviewed yet--I did see some people who had posted after me already received decisions. I'd really appreciate you letting me know whenever you have a moment whether my request can be granted. Thanks so much! Ppt91 ( talk) 00:15, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Femke! I don't know many admins, so please excuse me. I'm having troubles for a week or so because my ip address was blocked, even though it's a provider's one and I didn't see any vandals using it. IP address: 147.235.204.62. Internet Service Provider: Bezeq- THE ISRAEL TELECOMMUNICATION CORP. LTD
. I tried to get IP exemption, but my email to check users got unanswered. Do you know what can I do about it? The IP is dynamic and I can't do anything with my provider, but I was never blocked and don't know all the policies about it.
