Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Antilia bomb scare, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages ATS and Innova. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 05:56, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Why did you redirected this article to antilia bomb scare. Wasn't it capable of being a Wikipedia article. BTW I am not the creator of the article but with your permission can i re create the article Jogesh 69 ( talk) 20:18, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi
That's exactly what it looks like. It should be full of links to resources, but looks like no one ever bothered to fill them in lol.
As you can see from
the main page, that project is now inactive.
It was a real flash in the pan, and only lasted a few months, being marked as inactive by late 2011.
It was very difficult for new editors to become part of WikiWorld in those days, and we found that many would make one or two edits, get shouted at, and then never return.
Wiki Guides was started to try and help stop that, by offering mentorship to guide new editors through policy etc.
In the end, policy became the target, and there were long discussions across the whole project, some involving hundreds of editors, which led to the project becoming redundant.
Changes were made, and so the guides became less needed as messages and guidance was provided in text format for new users.
Similarly, village pump got working and
discussions there went on for a while.
Did it work? That is an interesting question. In this discussion we find the table for 2011 (I have added the 2019 figures):
Editor edits >= | 2011 | Percentage | 2019 | Percentage |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 3,434,408 | 100% | 7,280,006 | 100.0% |
3 | 1,387,363 | 40.4% | 2,693,770 | 37% |
10 | 667,570 | 19.4% | 1,259,055 | 17.3% |
32 | 260,945 | 7.6% | 483,416 | 6.6% |
100 | 106,814 | 3.1% | 190,593 | 2.6% |
316 | 46,728 | 1.4% | 80,182 | 1.1% |
1,000 | 20,851 | 0.6% | 35,635 | 0.5% |
3,162 | 8,420 | 0.2% | 15,049 | 0.2% |
10,000 | 2,506 | 0.1% | 5,403 | 0.1% |
31,623 | 473 | 0.0% | 1,475 | 0% |
100,000 | 40 | 0.0% | 262 | 0% |
316,228 | 5 | 0.0% | 31 | 0% |
1,000,000 | 4 | 0% |
As you can see, edit numbers roughly doubled with around 10% less retention than 8 years previously. We did worse, even after changing policy.
I have only just found out that WikiGuides died, and am very disheartened it died so quickly. I would have thought that it was still going, or at least kept going for a few years, but 5 months!?!?!?
All those pages should really be marked as inactive unless you are reactivating the WikiGuides program? Chaosdruid ( talk) 17:00, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

You said as much just now, reverting an edit. Is that a personal view, or is there a wp rule that prompts that assertion? It's all over Wikipedia - though sometimes in, and sometimes not - just as refs are sometimes in lists, and sometimes not. Look for example at this other Colorado list .. /info/en/?search=List_of_people_from_Colorado I'm always curious when someone makes a definitive statement, and reverts another editor's work on the basis of the statement - without indicating whether it is their personal view, or a wp rule. thanks. -- 2603:7000:2143:8500:2827:3F2F:6095:E2D7 ( talk) 07:05, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Jay,
Just a reminder that if you restore a draft that was deleted as a CSD G13 stale draft, you have to make an edit to the page after restoration or it shows up as eligible for deletion again as the last edit to the page would have been more than 6 months ago. Making an edit to the page makes it ineligible for deletion for another 6 months. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 00:09, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't think your blanket dismissal of everything here as no consensus was fair or accurate. There was a supermajority in favor of deleting the "Sulla" redirects, and the single party arguing against it was replied to. I ask that you reconsider your judgement on those, as there is no reason why lack of consensus for the other two should vitiate assessment of the rest. Avilich ( talk) 13:45, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
editors to resolve any merger from the history through further discussion. Jay (talk) 09:08, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
It also follows that, if you won't distinguish the redirects based on their edit history, you shouldn't have brought upp the merger argument in the first place, since they only apply precisely to those redirects with edit history. You're being blatantly inconsistent here. Avilich ( talk) 16:16, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Hello, Jay,
I don't know if you have noticed this but there is a problem closing RFD discussions. The discussions get closed on the RFD page but no action is taken on the page under discussion, if the decision is to delete, pages are not deleted, if it is to retarget, target pages are not changed and no RFD tags are removed from the pages. It seems to primarily be affecting RFD and I've posted messages at Wikipedia talk:XFDcloser since yesterday but so far no response.
I have not manually deleted or retargeted pages because I wanted anyone fixing the problem to SEE the problem but I'm not sure how long to wait. One editor has already inquired on my talk page about why a redirect hadn't been retargeted yet. If you know of any tech-minded people here who could look into this problem with XFDcloser, please point them towards this talk page discussion. Thank you! Liz Read! Talk! 22:45, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi @ Jay thank you for your feedback on my page Glorify. If I may ask a question - I have been editing - creating articles when I find something available to write about, but mostly editing articles in GOCE copy/edit requests. I mostly focus on just general improvements to the prose and organization of articles, but if I do come across one that sounds promotional or not neutral, etc., can anyone apply those tags? Happy to contribute in this way, but I assumed that was an admin-only thing. But there are plenty of pages I've come across that don't seem to fit the guidelines to be included... many of which are older articles, I assume the rules years ago were more lenient. I'd appreciate your guidance. Thanks. The Real Serena Joy Talk 17:21, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Jay! I want to request you to grant me the autopatrolled user right. I regularly create articles (atleast 1 every week) and as of now, there are 50+ articles I have created (excluding redirects and disambiguation pages). I have an editing experience of more than 2 years in Wikipedia. I am familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, especially those on biographies of living persons, copyrights, verifiability and notability. For all the articles I have created in this wiki, several patrollers (reviewers) reviewed them, without any further editing to those articles. I often received notifications of my articles being patrolled/reviewed by those editors, with no further editing. From this, I thought if I got the autopatrolled user right, I would lessen the burden on the patrollers/reviewers. For further information, please feel free to check my edit history and the articles I have created. Regarding user rights at other wikis, I have autopatrolled user right in meta wiki and IP block expemption user right in Meitei wikipedia. Please grant me the autopatrolled user right!

I saw Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 12#United States/Government and was a bit surprised to see the link red because the outcome of the RfD was retarget, not delete (or move without redirect). I'm surprised because you unilaterally made an administrative action against the consensus of the discussion, but also surprised because your rationale is...lacking. While it is true that subpages are now disabled in mainspace, legacy mainspace pages are considered {{ R from old history}} and kept ( similar to CamelCase redirects). You referenced WP:SUB, but no where on that page does it say that mainspace subpages should be removed, rather that they should not be created. Furthermore, the unnecessary move goes against the guidance of WP:MOVEREDIRECT. With the authority of this RfD, I will be moving this page back and urge you not to make unnecessary redirect moves against consensus moving forward. -- Tavix ( talk) 01:31, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
..the Wikipedia:Do not use subpages policy had to be rigorously enforced and retroactively applied., which while mentioned in past tense gives the impression that most, if not all, subpages were taken care of. The linked WP:Do not use subpages there says

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Membrey until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Antilia bomb scare, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages ATS and Innova. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi
That's exactly what it looks like. It should be full of links to resources, but looks like no one ever bothered to fill them in lol.
As you can see from
the main page, that project is now inactive.
It was a real flash in the pan, and only lasted a few months, being marked as inactive by late 2011.
It was very difficult for new editors to become part of WikiWorld in those days, and we found that many would make one or two edits, get shouted at, and then never return.
Wiki Guides was started to try and help stop that, by offering mentorship to guide new editors through policy etc.
In the end, policy became the target, and there were long discussions across the whole project, some involving hundreds of editors, which led to the project becoming redundant.
Changes were made, and so the guides became less needed as messages and guidance was provided in text format for new users.
Similarly, village pump got working and
discussions there went on for a while.
Did it work? That is an interesting question. In this discussion we find the table for 2011 (I have added the 2019 figures):
Editor edits >= | 2011 | Percentage | 2019 | Percentage |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 3,434,408 | 100% | 7,280,006 | 100.0% |
3 | 1,387,363 | 40.4% | 2,693,770 | 37% |
10 | 667,570 | 19.4% | 1,259,055 | 17.3% |
32 | 260,945 | 7.6% | 483,416 | 6.6% |
100 | 106,814 | 3.1% | 190,593 | 2.6% |
316 | 46,728 | 1.4% | 80,182 | 1.1% |
1,000 | 20,851 | 0.6% | 35,635 | 0.5% |
3,162 | 8,420 | 0.2% | 15,049 | 0.2% |
10,000 | 2,506 | 0.1% | 5,403 | 0.1% |
31,623 | 473 | 0.0% | 1,475 | 0% |
100,000 | 40 | 0.0% | 262 | 0% |
316,228 | 5 | 0.0% | 31 | 0% |
1,000,000 | 4 | 0% |
As you can see, edit numbers roughly doubled with around 10% less retention than 8 years previously. We did worse, even after changing policy.
I have only just found out that WikiGuides died, and am very disheartened it died so quickly. I would have thought that it was still going, or at least kept going for a few years, but 5 months!?!?!?
All those pages should really be marked as inactive unless you are reactivating the WikiGuides program? Chaosdruid ( talk) 17:00, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

You said as much just now, reverting an edit. Is that a personal view, or is there a wp rule that prompts that assertion? It's all over Wikipedia - though sometimes in, and sometimes not - just as refs are sometimes in lists, and sometimes not. Look for example at this other Colorado list .. /info/en/?search=List_of_people_from_Colorado I'm always curious when someone makes a definitive statement, and reverts another editor's work on the basis of the statement - without indicating whether it is their personal view, or a wp rule. thanks. -- 2603:7000:2143:8500:2827:3F2F:6095:E2D7 ( talk) 07:05, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Jay,
Just a reminder that if you restore a draft that was deleted as a CSD G13 stale draft, you have to make an edit to the page after restoration or it shows up as eligible for deletion again as the last edit to the page would have been more than 6 months ago. Making an edit to the page makes it ineligible for deletion for another 6 months. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 00:09, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't think your blanket dismissal of everything here as no consensus was fair or accurate. There was a supermajority in favor of deleting the "Sulla" redirects, and the single party arguing against it was replied to. I ask that you reconsider your judgement on those, as there is no reason why lack of consensus for the other two should vitiate assessment of the rest. Avilich ( talk) 13:45, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
editors to resolve any merger from the history through further discussion. Jay (talk) 09:08, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
It also follows that, if you won't distinguish the redirects based on their edit history, you shouldn't have brought upp the merger argument in the first place, since they only apply precisely to those redirects with edit history. You're being blatantly inconsistent here. Avilich ( talk) 16:16, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Hello, Jay,
I don't know if you have noticed this but there is a problem closing RFD discussions. The discussions get closed on the RFD page but no action is taken on the page under discussion, if the decision is to delete, pages are not deleted, if it is to retarget, target pages are not changed and no RFD tags are removed from the pages. It seems to primarily be affecting RFD and I've posted messages at Wikipedia talk:XFDcloser since yesterday but so far no response.
I have not manually deleted or retargeted pages because I wanted anyone fixing the problem to SEE the problem but I'm not sure how long to wait. One editor has already inquired on my talk page about why a redirect hadn't been retargeted yet. If you know of any tech-minded people here who could look into this problem with XFDcloser, please point them towards this talk page discussion. Thank you! Liz Read! Talk! 22:45, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi @ Jay thank you for your feedback on my page Glorify. If I may ask a question - I have been editing - creating articles when I find something available to write about, but mostly editing articles in GOCE copy/edit requests. I mostly focus on just general improvements to the prose and organization of articles, but if I do come across one that sounds promotional or not neutral, etc., can anyone apply those tags? Happy to contribute in this way, but I assumed that was an admin-only thing. But there are plenty of pages I've come across that don't seem to fit the guidelines to be included... many of which are older articles, I assume the rules years ago were more lenient.

Hello Jay! I want to request you to grant me the autopatrolled user right. I regularly create articles (atleast 1 every week) and as of now, there are 50+ articles I have created (excluding redirects and disambiguation pages). I have an editing experience of more than 2 years in Wikipedia. I am familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, especially those on biographies of living persons, copyrights, verifiability and notability. For all the articles I have created in this wiki, several patrollers (reviewers) reviewed them, without any further editing to those articles. I often received notifications of my articles being patrolled/reviewed by those editors, with no further editing. From this, I thought if I got the autopatrolled user right, I would lessen the burden on the patrollers/reviewers. For further information, please feel free to check my edit history and the articles I have created. Regarding user rights at other wikis, I have autopatrolled user right in meta wiki and IP block expemption user right in Meitei wikipedia. Please grant me the autopatrolled user right!

I saw Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 12#United States/Government and was a bit surprised to see the link red because the outcome of the RfD was retarget, not delete (or move without redirect). I'm surprised because you unilaterally made an administrative action against the consensus of the discussion, but also surprised because your rationale is...lacking. While it is true that subpages are now disabled in mainspace, legacy mainspace pages are considered {{ R from old history}} and kept ( similar to CamelCase redirects). You referenced WP:SUB, but no where on that page does it say that mainspace subpages should be removed, rather that they should not be created. Furthermore, the unnecessary move goes against the guidance of WP:MOVEREDIRECT. With the authority of this RfD, I will be moving this page back and urge you not to make unnecessary redirect moves against consensus moving forward. -- Tavix ( talk) 01:31, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
..the Wikipedia:Do not use subpages policy had to be rigorously enforced and retroactively applied., which while mentioned in past tense gives the impression that most, if not all, subpages were taken care of. The linked WP:Do not use subpages there says

Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! I wrote to you directly, to express that your question made me realize my mistake. You simply didn’t like me emailing you but honestly get over it. I mentioned that I would message a mentor (which could be you) but instead you decided to run to my talk page to make some public renunciation of how I conducted myself. I wrote to you that I will revise anything I did, including any teaching to ensure I don’t make this mistake again.
Please, you can relax knowing I’ll bother someone else with any assistance - but to answer your first question ever so directly, yes it was my mistake. Canada18 ( talk) 09:25, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
