Hi there, Maddy from Celeste, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you intend to help us with coverage of activists. I see you have already created a short biography in this connection. If you have not already done so, you might like to look through our Ten Simple Rules. As you are fluent in a number of languages, you might be interested in contributing to our upcoming translation contest. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!-- Ipigott ( talk) 06:11, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi Maddy from Celeste,
I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!
And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.
Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 03:02, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to
Aravalli Range while logged out. Wikipedia's
policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being
blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your
IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you.

After your closure of the RM discussion at Talk:Less Than Zero (The Weeknd song), one of the two involved titles currently has "Than" with uppercase and the other one has "than" with lowercase. Did you intend it to come out that way? The capitalization question was part of that discussion, but was not mentioned in your closing summary, and I want to know if there is any conclusion about that aspect. — BarrelProof ( talk) 16:23, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Maddy from Celeste,
I don't believe you have enough editing experience and experience working in the AFD area to be closing deletion discussion, especially on sensitive subjects. If you intend to do this again, please review Wikipedia:Non-admin closure and make sure that you understand when an RFC or AFD closure can be done by a non-admin and when it is a better idea to leave that task to an administrator or more experienced editor.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{
Ds/aware}}
on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the
guidance on discretionary sanctions and the
Arbitration Committee's decision
here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

The file File:IntoUniversity logo.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unused. Superseded by File:IntoUniversity logo.svg.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. --

Hi - when a article contains a direct quote, please don't change the wording of it even if you think it contains a grammatical error. The only time you should change the wording of quotes is if you have checked the source, and found that someone made a mistake when transcribing it (or if it's been vandalised of course).

Nice job on this, thanks for your work. Normally, Normally I'd have a look and make some tweaks or additions, but I'm snowed under, so no time just now. Here's one tip you may (or may not) find interesting: look up markedness. I think you'll see the applicability right away, although there may not be anything out there yet linking the concept to cisnormativity, but there will, in time. It's the reason that the statistically variant/minority term gets named first, and happens in all areas; some unmarked terms include landline, surface street, cisgender, and endosex. Anyway, just keep this on deep background for now, until there's a source about it. Good luck! Mathglot ( talk) 03:55, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Inmarsat logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:16, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi there,
I am increasingly distressed by some edits to the Wikipedia page about my work. I raised this earlier today and the issue was resolved. The material has now been added again. This material offers an unbalanced and negative view of my work -particularly as it is featured at the top of the article. The material is clearly added by a soap fan who wants to tarnish my reputation. Can you please advise how this can be rectified as this feels like being remotely bullied.

Hello, Maddy from Celeste. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.
Useful links:
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 06:43, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

welcoming contentious topics
Thank you for quality articles such as Cisnormativity, Lucile Abreu and Transgender history in Finland, for welcoming new users and dealing with move requests, for not only bravely closing the umptieth Mozart RfC but even following through afterwards, for a clever April Fool and a section "Things to do when demotivated" - Madeline, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

my story today |
I haven't seen a reader complain about the presence of an infobox yet.– I meant that the people opposing infoboxes likely do so because they think they're detrimental to readers' experiences at large, not just their own. Treating infoboxes "like other content" I definitely agree with. I've linked the script in the discussion above, where someone wondered if such existed. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 13:54, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
Today, Johanna Geisler. - I just looked up - for the first time ever - contentious topic infoboxes. In a nutshell: I don't believe they are still contentious. Not the boxes, - the 2016 arbcase on which the CT designation was based was not about yes or no, but only civility. But not even civility: it has improved greatly. Could you tell the arbs, perhaps? Even I could, not having been a party in 2016. We should really get to normal editing in the field. Geisler sang a premiere by Korngold. The composer has an infobox since 2014, and nobody complained. Mozart: I think that not only were there many more voices supporting, - there was especially the voice of reason, Voceditenore, refuting all arguments on the table. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:38, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
ps: I'm concluding that CT information should not be given to users simply discussing infoboxes, only to users who seems in danger of not doing it in civility. What really made me smile is that the user who saddened me by the "Wehrmacht" edit - one of the authors of Messiah, to make it worse - gave a nice infobox to Geisler's husband. I keep hoping ... -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:46, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

On 28 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Transgender history in Finland, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that records of transgender people in Finland stretch back to the 19th century? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Transgender history in Finland. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Transgender history in Finland), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

not by the fact that there are transphobes on Wikipedia. But by how many are willing to at least partially excuse transphobia because they self-admittedly have a good relationship with the person in question, or because the editor has been around (being transphobic) for a long time. I also disappointed by how many people see trans people as a topic area, that think it is okay to be transphobic as long as you do it under a topic which is not about trans people. I am equally disappointed that there are respected editors here who believe that being transphobic and being against transphobia are equivalent.
I placed a wikibreak template on my user page hoping to take a step away and let things fold out and hopefully let myself heal. Then I cleaned up some promotion from an article. Just now I reverted someone for using unreliable sources. I am not taking a wikibreak, but I continue to claim so. The things I mentioned feel like a duty to me, and like second nature. But those are not why I edit, not anymore. I edit to work together with other, reasonable, experienced editors to make and keep articles that are accurate, balanced, and beautiful. But it is exactly this I am taking a wikibreak from. My sense of purpose here has met a crisis when so many of the people who may talk perfectly reasonably, some of whom I've even looked up to, without daring or probably even knowing to say it, see me and my community as second-rate people, and our protection as contingent. -- Maddy from Celeste ( WAVEDASH) 20:41, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi, maybe instead of collapsing it the way Yae4 did, if you want to collapse it, maybe collapse *just* the list of diffs, with a title like e.g. "List of diffs as evidence", or something like that. I could make such an edit myself, if you wish. Libreleah ( talk) 17:48, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey Maddy. I've got a couple of changes I'd like to suggest to your uw-gender series of warning templates.
Recently we updated the first paragraph of MOS:GENDERID to make it state that we should refer to a person by both the name and gendered words that reflect their most recent gender identity, instead of just gendered words. Could we update your templates to reflect that change?
Secondly, in
uw-gender3, you've added [[:{{{1}}}]]
so that Twinkle can pass in the relevant article title. Could we add that to uw-gender1, 2, and 4 as well, and then make it an optional parameter similar to how it works for the {{
Uw-vandalism1}} series? If you don't know how, I'd be happy to make the change with your permission. I'd also be happy to add the polite Hello, I'm [username]
to uw-gender1 at the same time, if you think it would improve the template.

{{{2|}}}
for the |extra=
parameter, as that's what allows Twinkle to pass through the optional message when you're issuing the warning.Sorry, I never saw your original post back in April. [1] Only just saw it because I was reviewing my last 5000 edits looking for an article that I cannot seem to find (it will turn up eventually), when I ran across your wonderful script. I only just tested it out. [2] Works great! I'm happy to see that you added it to Help:Infobox/user style, but I really hope someone like User:Smerus takes note of what you did and uses it. It's amazing that you did this. Viriditas ( talk) 06:40, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Madeline! I was recently in the small Alaskan fishing village of Ninilchik and took a photo on my iPhone of a welcome sign outside the entrance of said village. The sign has a short description of the history and founders of Ninilchik, and I noticed that a photo of the sign was not on the village’s Wikipedia page. If it is no bother, I would appreciate some guidance as to whether I should upload the photo, where I should do so, as well as anything else that may help. I am new to editing Wikipedia and I am not an expert on this subject. I was unsure of how to upload the photo here for reference, so I would appreciate it if you could inform me on how to do that. I thank you immensely for your time and I again heavily appreciate your help. -- Slamforeman ( talk) 20:57, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey again Madeline! I’d appreciate your advice on something.
I was reading the Wikipedia article about Monica Witt, an American citizen and Air Force veteran who defected to Iran and is now a fugitive from justice.
I noticed that her photo in her “quick facts” was quite poor quality, being grainy and blurry. It also undated, with the metadata for the photo saying it could have been taken at any point of when she served in the Air Force. But, regardless, there is another problem with the photo I believe to be more important.
The photo of her is from her time in the military and prior to her conversion to Islam. I am not Muslim myself, but as far as I am aware, it considered disrespectful to show a Muslim woman not wearing a burka, outside of private spaces.
My question is if the photo should replaced or moved, with this photograph from the FBI website and the poster concerning her, taking it’s place. It is much higher quality, depicts her wearing a burka, and is more recent, which I think would help if she was ever spotted. I also believe it is not copyrighted, which also helps.
Again, I would appreciate any guidance you can offer here. Although she is certainly a bad person, I believe this would help with respectability. I considered asking this question in the Teahouse, but I held off for now, for fear of provoking Islamophobia.
I thank you for help so very much and offer you my best wishes. Slamforeman ( talk) 21:20, 2 September 2023 (UTC).

Hello, Maddy from Celeste. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.

Hi Maddy from Celeste. :) I'm looking for people to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:36, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi Maddy, hope you're doing well. I saw that you closed the Sommer Ray discussion for exclusion on both fronts, but would you be able to provide me with an explanation on why you closed both as consensus against? Most editors expressed trimmed down inclusion of Set B. InvadingInvader ( userpage, talk) 16:58, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
As the proposer of the RFC on Israel article, I would like to begin by genuinely thanking you for the effort you put in the closing. You clearly took your time to read all the arguments and decide accordingly, which unfortunately is a rarity these days.
I saw in the closing message the words that there is "no consensus either for or against inclusion". I feel this has been considered as voting, which doesn't follow the consensus guideline: "Consensus on Wikipedia does not require unanimity (which is ideal but rarely achievable), nor is it the result of a vote. Decision making and reaching consensus involve an effort to incorporate all editors' legitimate concerns, while respecting Wikipedia's policies and guidelines."
As you can see apart from the fact that users of a particular viewpoint have been canvassed, they did not base their arguments on Wikipedia policy, as you well-articulated in your closing.
Determining consensus: "Consensus is ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy."
I feel there has been no good counterarguments given to the main argument that the lede summarizes the body per MOS guideline; since we do have a section on apartheid in the article.
Looking forward to reading your response. Makeandtoss ( talk) 15:20, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
All considered, after discounting clearly irrelevant comments, there was a rather even split of voices for and against inclusion, and on the policy-merits, neither can be said to have been so unambiguously right or wrong to declare a consensus here.TL;DR: I agree that in my view the support side had better arguments, but it would have been a supervote to close that way. -- Maddy from Celeste ( WAVEDASH) 15:55, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
I have noticed that you have reverted a query by a IP user ( 18:11, 3 December 2023), Can you give me a reason for this? Thanks Leoneix ( talk) 18:24, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Please reverse this edit, for further consideration. OK, as a major contributor to the article I should have been aware of the move request - but, I wasn't, I've been busy, and as a general point it has been moved on the basis of a very small number of !votes (2 to 1) after a short (one week) opportunity for discussion. The article does not, never has, and never should, cover the "History of rock and roll". That raises all sorts of issues about the term itself, and the period to be covered - it could extend until the present day, and into the future. No, the article is very specifically about the Origins of the genre as it emerged in the 1950s, and the previous decades. The article is most definitely not about its later history, since the 1950s. The title "History of rock and roll" is quite simply wrong or at best highly misleading, and I would like that opinion to be expressed on the article talk page before any final decision is taken.

Hey, I see you closed the move discussion at Talk:Greatest Hits... So Far!!! (Pink album) as no consensus; does that mean I'm good to take one or both of the redirects to RFD? I don't want to forumshop here, so just checking since there was no comment on the status of the redirects. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 03:46, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cisgenderism 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.बिनोद थारू ( talk) 15:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
Just a side comment, I will do discussion on her Article rather than here. Sophie did superb work. I want her achievements to be genuinely recognized. Doing WP:OR will make her actual work suspect. That can be counter-productive. BlueWren0123 ( talk) 17:06, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed your closure of a discussion I participated in. I'm not personally big on the idea of closing discussions, but WP guidance and policy obviously matters more than my preference! I looked up what I could (I've never been a highly active editor, so I don't know all the nooks and crannies of this place).
Anyway I didn't find anything about closing a discussion because of the topic. You cited WP:FRINGE but I suspect that applies more to articles.
In WP:CLOSE there is the guidance that "most conversations do not need to be closed."
Reasons for closure include when the discussion is stable, with the caution: "The more contentious the subject, the longer this may take." The discussion you closed is certainly a contentious subject, and of course stability was not the reason you cited.
The essay WP:ACD advises making this decision only on matters on which one can truly be impartial. Your own user page shows a high level of advocacy on topics related to the closure.
Your perspective is valuable here, and you appear to be an accomplished contributor. You must know very well what makes Wikipedia great and what threatens this greatness, so I respectfully request that you consider taking a more cautious approach to discussion closure.
Thanks and best regards.

On 20 December 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Transition (film), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in the documentary Transition, Jordan Bryon says he finds Taliban fighters "lovely"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Transition (film). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Transition (film)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Maddy I was an Ear, Nose and Throat physician until the age of 70 when I explored entering the movie production industry and now have been the executive producer of three films. One is now streaming on Showtime, The Movie Channel and Paramount Plus.
I am proud to state that my advanced age was not a deterrent to my successful new career. I even had a speaking role opposite Brandon Routh (Superman) in our last film; The Redeemer.
I think this might give hope and motivation to other retired follks. However, I am not certain how to put this together. May I draft a document and email it to for friendly advice? Thanks so much. Steve Schrager, MD -- Executive Producer Steve ( talk) 19:52, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!
And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.
Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 03:02, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Aravalli Range while logged out. Wikipedia's
policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being
blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your

Hi - when a article contains a direct quote, please don't change the wording of it even if you think it contains a grammatical error. The only time you should change the wording of quotes is if you have checked the source, and found that someone made a mistake when transcribing it (or if it's been vandalised of course).

Hi, a while back you edited the CIB article removing promotional language. I wanted to let you know that I've nominated it for deletion here after looking for sources to justify its continued existence and not finding much. Jtrrs0 ( talk) 19:23, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
Nice job on this, thanks for your work. Normally, Normally I'd have a look and make some tweaks or additions, but I'm snowed under, so no time just now. Here's one tip you may (or may not) find interesting: look up markedness. I think you'll see the applicability right away, although there may not be anything out there yet linking the concept to cisnormativity, but there will, in time. It's the reason that the statistically variant/minority term gets named first, and happens in all areas; some unmarked terms include landline, surface street, cisgender, and endosex. Anyway, just keep this on deep background for now, until there's a source about it. Good luck! Mathglot ( talk) 03:55, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi there,
I am increasingly distressed by some edits to the Wikipedia page about my work. I raised this earlier today and the issue was resolved. The material has now been added again. This material offers an unbalanced and negative view of my work -particularly as it is featured at the top of the article. The material is clearly added by a soap fan who wants to tarnish my reputation. Can you please advise how this can be rectified as this feels like being remotely bullied.

Hello, Maddy from Celeste. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 06:43, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

my story today |
I haven't seen a reader complain about the presence of an infobox yet.– I meant that the people opposing infoboxes likely do so because they think they're detrimental to readers' experiences at large, not just their own. Treating infoboxes "like other content" I definitely agree with. I've linked the script in the discussion above, where someone wondered if such existed. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 13:54, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
Today, Johanna Geisler. - I just looked up - for the first time ever - contentious topic infoboxes. In a nutshell: I don't believe they are still contentious. Not the boxes, - the 2016 arbcase on which the CT designation was based was not about yes or no, but only civility. But not even civility: it has improved greatly. Could you tell the arbs, perhaps? Even I could, not having been a party in 2016. We should really get to normal editing in the field. Geisler sang a premiere by Korngold. The composer has an infobox since 2014, and nobody complained. Mozart: I think that not only were there many more voices supporting, - there was especially the voice of reason, Voceditenore, refuting all arguments on the table. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:38, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
ps: I'm concluding that CT information should not be given to users simply discussing infoboxes, only to users who seems in danger of not doing it in civility. What really made me smile is that the user who saddened me by the "Wehrmacht" edit - one of the authors of Messiah, to make it worse - gave a nice infobox to Geisler's husband. I keep hoping ... -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:46, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

not by the fact that there are transphobes on Wikipedia. But by how many are willing to at least partially excuse transphobia because they self-admittedly have a good relationship with the person in question, or because the editor has been around (being transphobic) for a long time. I also disappointed by how many people see trans people as a topic area, that think it is okay to be transphobic as long as you do it under a topic which is not about trans people. I am equally disappointed that there are respected editors here who believe that being transphobic and being against transphobia are equivalent.
I placed a wikibreak template on my user page hoping to take a step away and let things fold out and hopefully let myself heal. Then I cleaned up some promotion from an article. Just now I reverted someone for using unreliable sources. I am not taking a wikibreak, but I continue to claim so. The things I mentioned feel like a duty to me, and like second nature. But those are not why I edit, not anymore. I edit to work together with other, reasonable, experienced editors to make and keep articles that are accurate, balanced, and beautiful. But it is exactly this I am taking a wikibreak from. My sense of purpose here has met a crisis when so many of the people who may talk perfectly reasonably, some of whom I've even looked up to, without daring or probably even knowing to say it, see me and my community as second-rate people, and our protection as contingent. -- Maddy from Celeste ( WAVEDASH) 20:41, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey Maddy. I've got a couple of changes I'd like to suggest to your uw-gender series of warning templates.
Recently we updated the first paragraph of MOS:GENDERID to make it state that we should refer to a person by both the name and gendered words that reflect their most recent gender identity, instead of just gendered words. Could we update your templates to reflect that change?
Secondly, in
uw-gender3, you've added [[:{{{1}}}]]
so that Twinkle can pass in the relevant article title. Could we add that to uw-gender1, 2, and 4 as well, and then make it an optional parameter similar to how it works for the {{
Uw-vandalism1}} series? If you don't know how, I'd be happy to make the change with your permission. I'd also be happy to add the polite Hello, I'm [username]
to uw-gender1 at the same time, if you think it would improve the template.

{{{2|}}}
for the |extra=
parameter, as that's what allows Twinkle to pass through the optional message when you're issuing the warning.Sorry, I never saw your original post back in April. [1] Only just saw it because I was reviewing my last 5000 edits looking for an article that I cannot seem to find (it will turn up eventually), when I ran across your wonderful script. I only just tested it out. [2] Works great! I'm happy to see that you added it to Help:Infobox/user style, but I really hope someone like User:Smerus takes note of what you did and uses it.

Hi Madeline! I was recently in the small Alaskan fishing village of Ninilchik and took a photo on my iPhone of a welcome sign outside the entrance of said village. The sign has a short description of the history and founders of Ninilchik, and I noticed that a photo of the sign was not on the village’s Wikipedia page. If it is no bother, I would appreciate some guidance as to whether I should upload the photo, where I should do so, as well as anything else that may help. I am new to editing Wikipedia and I am not an expert on this subject. I was unsure of how to upload the photo here for reference, so I would appreciate it if you could inform me on how to do that. I thank you immensely for your time and I again heavily appreciate your help. -- Slamforeman ( talk) 20:57, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey again Madeline! I’d appreciate your advice on something.
I was reading the Wikipedia article about Monica Witt, an American citizen and Air Force veteran who defected to Iran and is now a fugitive from justice.
I noticed that her photo in her “quick facts” was quite poor quality, being grainy and blurry. It also undated, with the metadata for the photo saying it could have been taken at any point of when she served in the Air Force. But, regardless, there is another problem with the photo I believe to be more important.
The photo of her is from her time in the military and prior to her conversion to Islam. I am not Muslim myself, but as far as I am aware, it considered disrespectful to show a Muslim woman not wearing a burka, outside of private spaces.
My question is if the photo should replaced or moved, with this photograph from the FBI website and the poster concerning her, taking it’s place. It is much higher quality, depicts her wearing a burka, and is more recent, which I think would help if she was ever spotted. I also believe it is not copyrighted, which also helps.
Again, I would appreciate any guidance you can offer here. Although she is certainly a bad person, I believe this would help with respectability. I considered asking this question in the Teahouse, but I held off for now, for fear of provoking Islamophobia.
I thank you for help so very much and offer you my best wishes. Slamforeman ( talk) 21:20, 2 September 2023 (UTC).

Hello, Maddy from Celeste. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.

Hi Maddy from Celeste. :) I'm looking for people to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:36, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi Maddy, hope you're doing well. I saw that you closed the Sommer Ray discussion for exclusion on both fronts, but would you be able to provide me with an explanation on why you closed both as consensus against? Most editors expressed trimmed down inclusion of Set B. InvadingInvader ( userpage, talk) 16:58, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
As the proposer of the RFC on Israel article, I would like to begin by genuinely thanking you for the effort you put in the closing. You clearly took your time to read all the arguments and decide accordingly, which unfortunately is a rarity these days.
I saw in the closing message the words that there is "no consensus either for or against inclusion". I feel this has been considered as voting, which doesn't follow the consensus guideline: "Consensus on Wikipedia does not require unanimity (which is ideal but rarely achievable), nor is it the result of a vote. Decision making and reaching consensus involve an effort to incorporate all editors' legitimate concerns, while respecting Wikipedia's policies and guidelines."
As you can see apart from the fact that users of a particular viewpoint have been canvassed, they did not base their arguments on Wikipedia policy, as you well-articulated in your closing.
Determining consensus: "Consensus is ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy."
I feel there has been no good counterarguments given to the main argument that the lede summarizes the body per MOS guideline; since we do have a section on apartheid in the article.
Looking forward to reading your response. Makeandtoss ( talk) 15:20, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
All considered, after discounting clearly irrelevant comments, there was a rather even split of voices for and against inclusion, and on the policy-merits, neither can be said to have been so unambiguously right or wrong to declare a consensus here.TL;DR: I agree that in my view the support side had better arguments, but it would have been a supervote to close that way. -- Maddy from Celeste ( WAVEDASH) 15:55, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
I have noticed that you have reverted a query by a IP user ( 18:11, 3 December 2023), Can you give me a reason for this? Thanks Leoneix ( talk) 18:24, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Please reverse this edit, for further consideration. OK, as a major contributor to the article I should have been aware of the move request - but, I wasn't, I've been busy, and as a general point it has been moved on the basis of a very small number of !votes (2 to 1) after a short (one week) opportunity for discussion. The article does not, never has, and never should, cover the "History of rock and roll". That raises all sorts of issues about the term itself, and the period to be covered - it could extend until the present day, and into the future. No, the article is very specifically about the Origins of the genre as it emerged in the 1950s, and the previous decades. The article is most definitely not about its later history, since the 1950s. The title "History of rock and roll" is quite simply wrong or at best highly misleading, and I would like that opinion to be expressed on the article talk page before any final decision is taken.

Hey, I see you closed the move discussion at Talk:Greatest Hits... So Far!!! (Pink album) as no consensus; does that mean I'm good to take one or both of the redirects to RFD?

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cisgenderism 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.बिनोद थारू ( talk) 15:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
Just a side comment, I will do discussion on her Article rather than here. Sophie did superb work. I want her achievements to be genuinely recognized. Doing WP:OR will make her actual work suspect. That can be counter-productive. BlueWren0123 ( talk) 17:06, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed your closure of a discussion I participated in. I'm not personally big on the idea of closing discussions, but WP guidance and policy obviously matters more than my preference! I looked up what I could (I've never been a highly active editor, so I don't know all the nooks and crannies of this place).
Anyway I didn't find anything about closing a discussion because of the topic. You cited WP:FRINGE but I suspect that applies more to articles.
In WP:CLOSE there is the guidance that "most conversations do not need to be closed."
Reasons for closure include when the discussion is stable, with the caution: "The more contentious the subject, the longer this may take." The discussion you closed is certainly a contentious subject, and of course stability was not the reason you cited.
The essay WP:ACD advises making this decision only on matters on which one can truly be impartial. Your own user page shows a high level of advocacy on topics related to the closure.
Your perspective is valuable here, and you appear to be an accomplished contributor. You must know very well what makes Wikipedia great and what threatens this greatness, so I respectfully request that you consider taking a more cautious approach to discussion closure.
Thanks and best regards.

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Transition (film)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Maddy I was an Ear, Nose and Throat physician until the age of 70 when I explored entering the movie production industry and now have been the executive producer of three films. One is now streaming on Showtime, The Movie Channel and Paramount Plus.
I am proud to state that my advanced age was not a deterrent to my successful new career. I even had a speaking role opposite Brandon Routh (Superman) in our last film; The Redeemer.
I think this might give hope and motivation to other retired follks. However, I am not certain how to put this together. May I draft a document and email it to for friendly advice? Thanks so much. Steve Schrager, MD -- Executive Producer Steve ( talk) 19:52, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello Maddy, How do I create a page for myself on Wikipedia? I will be 80 this year and I am about to publish my first book this coming summer. I have lots of others previously written that will be published as quickly as possible and I hope to leave a detailed account of my works after I am gone. -- Robert Anthony Carswell ( talk) 09:10, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

I want to edit a page for a game which I have, however, the sites where I can find citations are restricted for me. Is it possible to expand the article, and then have it missing citations, where someone else can cite it? -- Fixthatonething ( talk) 23:37, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
You have been trouted for: This is super minor, but it says "You watchlist" instead of "Your watchlist".
As the original registry for the Nigerian Dwarf and San Clemente Island Goat in USA and Canada, I would like to add some history. How do I do this and also list my registry as a source?

Hello,
A wikipedia page on the person of interest and honor that I want to write about is already in German. Do I add to that page or create my own. This artist deserves a page in English as the artist created and lived in the United States, although traveled with a jazz musical group. -- JDShutman ( talk) 21:50, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
I've been copyediting a few articles, and am trying to work on removing promotional content. Is there any way to find articles marked as biased, so they can be objectivized? (I'm new to Wikipedia, if that incorporates) -- Fixthatonething ( talk) 03:55, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Greetings Mentor Maddy, Please I need your support to help review, edit and publish an article written by my daddy on the history or origin of our quarter in town Ezi. He requested that I help publish. I really don't know how to go about it.
Would you mind providing your mobile phone number so we can discuss it.
Many thanks Regards
