Hitro talk 07:31, 11 July 2020 (UTC)Sorry if I've come across as being a bit of a dick (or should I say, sorry for being a bit of a dick!)... you're right that I shouldn't keep reverting (I think we both violated 3RR but I don't plan to do any more "reverting" other than making a few minor changes to the race results table to make it more in line with the standard format (which I wouldn't call reverting anyway), and I imagine you don't intend to either, so that shouldn't be a problem). Also I've seen your edit to the order of the quals. I will make another comment on this on my own talk page to keep it in one place but I wanted to put this here as I realised I've gone a bit overboard! A7V2 ( talk) 13:23, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
Yes, it is unnecessary, because we're on English Wikipedia. If the source had had another language, in that case you would have added it putting a different language code.-- 87.3.108.67 ( talk) 11:36, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
language: A comma-separated list of the languages in which the source is written, as either the [[ISO 639]] language code (preferred) or the full language name, e.g. |language=fr, pt-br or |language=French, Portuguese. See the list of supported codes and names. Do not use templates or wikilinks. Displays in parentheses with "in" before the language name or names. When the only source language is English, no language is displayed in the citation. The use of languages recognized by the citation module adds the page to the appropriate subcategory of Category:CS1 foreign language sources. Because cs1|2 templates are often copied from en.wiki to other wikis, use of language codes is preferred so that languages render in the correct language and form: espagnol at a French-language wiki instead of 'Spanish'. Aliases: lang
You added again language=enGB but this code actually doesn't appear in the source (94) because as I said is an unnecessary code. Its requirement for the template source is not requested.-- 87.3.108.67 ( talk) 10:41, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.
Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Hi FozzieHey. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use 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 troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Anarchyte ( talk • work) 16:46, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi FozzieHey. I noticed in your large edit to 1925 French Grand Prix that you removed all trace of Albert Divo's initial number 6 entry which actually started the race. Probably it was just an error which was later fixed on [2] but I prefer to assume that you have a vendetta against him! All the best. A7V2 ( talk) 12:23, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi FozzieHey,
Please note that per
WP:WARNVAND the first user warning on a user's page should be level 1 or 2. Whilst it is sometimes appropriate to use a level 3 right out of the blocks, this is usually excessivly agrresive. I feel edits such as this one:
Special:Diff/986394940 warrant a level 2 at most - suitable for intentional nonsense or disruption
(for first instance). Thank you,

HI FozzieHey/Archive 1,
I'm writing to let you know we have simplified the
RfC on trust levels for the tool WikiLoop DoubleCheck. Please join and share your thoughts about this feature! We made this change after hearing users' comments on the first RfC being too complicated. I hope that you can participate this time around, giving your feedback on this new feature for WikiLoop DoubleCheck users.
Thanks and see you around online,

You rolled back significant changes to my edits to the "Long-distance trails in the United States" page. Why? I was fixing things that were broken. I did add and fix many citations. What gives? You're wrong, buddy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevingy ( talk • contribs) 15:12, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
This is not speculation. See here here. REDMAN 2019 ( talk) 11:39, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
First: before my edition it said "he plays", when he's almost 70 years old
Second: the addition of black gloves was to facilitate the choice, in Portugal EVERYONE knows about black gloves, it is a distinctive feature!
Thanks for the attention, but I think it's better and more complete with my editing! — Preceding

Dear editors, developers and friends:
Thank you for supporting Project WikiLoop! The year 2020 was an unprecedented one. It was unusual for almost everyone. In spite of this, Project WikiLoop continued the hard work and made some progress that we are proud to share with you. We also wanted to extend a big thank you for your support, advice, contributions and love that make all this possible.
Head over to our project page on Meta Wikimedia to read a brief 2020 Year in Review for WikiLoop.
Thank you for taking the time to review Wikipedia using WikiLoop DoubleCheck. Your work is important and it matters to everyone. We look forward to continuing our collaboration through 2021!

How can we nominate an article for deletion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.177.154.169 ( talk) 06:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting the addition of a date of birth to Kelly Curtis. I have been criticized recently for removing unsourced dates of birth in BLP articles. I appreciate your support. Eddie Blick ( talk) 00:52, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
I think that rule usually only applies to non-famous people. Famous people can't expect to receive as much privacy as non-famous ones. Just look at what the media are doing - they're publishing much more private things about famous people than just the date of birth.As I mentioned before, the birth of date of Staci Keanan was on the page for years and can easily be found by looking into older edits, so what's the point of hurrying the deletion? In addition, often enough it happens that someone provides a source and then someone else claims this source is "not reliable". (By the way, I don't generally check the rulebooks before I make an edit. There are way, way too many rules on the Wikipedia, so if you check all rules that might or might not apply you never get to do the editing. I prefer to rely on common sense. Ok, that puts me in risk that someone who drops by might claim that my edit might violate some more or less obscure rule and revert it, but so what?! Let's just take it a bit easier!)
Hi! I'm Ed6767, the original creator of RedWarn, now one of the most popular tools on the English Wikipedia that's been used by over 1,000 Wikimedians to make over 300,000 edits since mid-2020 that's been praised for its user friendliness and ease of use, but criticised for its limited functionality. I'm leaving this message as I think it may be of interest here - I left the RedWarn project in November to develop Teyora, my successor to RedWarn (alongside Chlod's UltraViolet). It's a new in development web app that uses some of the latest web technologies to create a highly extendable all in one editing tool with a focus on administration, counter vandalism and general patrolling - not to mention, it'll work on every Wikimedia project without any prior configuration and can be used by any user with at least auto-confirmed rights*. Now, I'm ready to give the Wikimedia community a first look at what I've been doing over the past six months and what to expect going forward.
You can check out the 20 minute first look at the in development version on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzlpnzXdLP4.
There's lots more to expect too! Why not read the full details page at meta:Teyora and leave any feedback, comments or wishes at meta:Talk:Teyora (please leave any correspondence there to keep discussion centralised). If you're interested, you can leave your signature
*with basic features, advanced features require configuration. To prevent abuse, auto-confirmed users will be in a restricted mode until approved by an admin or via rollback rights.
