Hello I read both Naruto & Detective Conan sources in the list. Naruto Shueisha (official publisher) source says it has "sold" 250 million copies, Detective Conan one says "it has 250 million copies in circulation worldwide (including copies not sold)" Naruto should be above as of now. But User:Yujoong changing the order. He first removed Mangaplus/Shueisha source (most reliable source) Now both User:Yujoong and Creating User:Cosmo Sentinel changing the order everyday as they want. Can you prevent or warn them ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruderhymer ( talk • contribs) 12:20, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

The creating editor pulled a nasty trick at the AfD for Saulo Oliveira S.. By removing the period after the S in the article title in the AfD notice, all of the AfD vanished, and the creating editor replaced it with a plea to not delete the article. I reverted this, and warned the editor on Talk page that this could lead to an indefinite block and the topic being 'salted.' I have seen editors delete AfD notices, but that shows up in the AfD View history. By changing the name of the article inside the AfD, the AfD View history content vanished. Only after I reverted the change to the article itself did the AfD content reappear. David notMD ( talk) 23:18, 2 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)

After becoming more familiar with Wikipedia policies I understand the reasons for your concerns and undoing my edits. I certainly had no intention of creating an edit war. The intention is to remove defamatory content which was discredited and the false claims acknowledged and reversed in writing by the perpetrator. The newspaper article containing the false and defamatory content was linked to multiple Wikipedia subjects. I will gladly locate and provide the substantiating references and documentation to support the need for my edits on the pages of the affected subjects. The statement - which follows - by @ToBeFree on another Adakiko section is directly relevant here: "In most cases, when someone explicitly complains about "defamatory content", that's a good point to stop reverting and to thoroughly analyze the situation. Even if you are completely convinced that the material a) qualifies for inclusion in the article (WP:UNDUE may be a concern), and b) is completely perfectly verifiable: Even then, we should wonder whether it's really worth insisting on keeping the material."

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joseph Vallot. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Joseph Vallot), 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.

Sorry for bothering you again. I don't know if I am sane or not, but I wanted to know if there was such a project or anything other thing called WikiProject Tables? I have now grasped the concept of tables, and love creating and modifying complex tables. Is there a place or project where I can hone this skill by modifying tables or by creating tables using the data provided? ― Itcouldbepossible Talk 13:03, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

thankyou soo much for solving my query and helping me. Stobene45 ( talk) 12:08, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
The creating editor pulled a nasty trick at the AfD for Saulo Oliveira S.. By removing the period after the S in the article title in the AfD notice, all of the AfD vanished, and the creating editor replaced it with a plea to not delete the article. I reverted this, and warned the editor on Talk page that this could lead to an indefinite block and the topic being 'salted.' I have seen editors delete AfD notices, but that shows up in the AfD View history. By changing the name of the article inside the AfD, the AfD View history content vanished. Only after I reverted the change to the article itself did the AfD content reappear. David notMD ( talk) 23:18, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar |
I submitted an AfC, but unfortunately it got declined. However, the editor recommended your help guide on referencing. I am currently resubmitting it, and hopefully it will get accepted. I decided to give you a barnstar for you, but as I scrolled through the various options, none of them really applied to this situation, so I just gave you an original.

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)

For your perfect works at the Teahouse, I find your responses to new users not to be just polite but also, (which is what I appreciate the most) is the patience and diligence you exhibit when giving out well thought out responses to new editors and the humble manner in which you follow up, when they have more questions to ask.

After becoming more familiar with Wikipedia policies I understand the reasons for your concerns and undoing my edits. I certainly had no intention of creating an edit war. The intention is to remove defamatory content which was discredited and the false claims acknowledged and reversed in writing by the perpetrator. The newspaper article containing the false and defamatory content was linked to multiple Wikipedia subjects. I will gladly locate and provide the substantiating references and documentation to support the need for my edits on the pages of the affected subjects. The statement - which follows - by @ToBeFree on another Adakiko section is directly relevant here: "In most cases, when someone explicitly complains about "defamatory content", that's a good point to stop reverting and to thoroughly analyze the situation. Even if you are completely convinced that the material a) qualifies for inclusion in the article (WP:UNDUE may be a concern), and b) is completely perfectly verifiable: Even then, we should wonder whether it's really worth insisting on keeping the material."

You were right to decline this, but it wasn't so much an insufficient warning as a stale one ... the last warning of any level was a week old.

On 28 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Joseph Vallot, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1887, after spending three nights on the summit of Mont Blanc, scientist Joseph Vallot and his party were greeted with flowers by the mayor and all the inhabitants of Chamonix? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joseph Vallot. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Joseph Vallot), 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. 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.

Most recent has advised of being an employee in marketing at Notingham Trent University, and inexperienced in editing WP.

I’m not particularly sure how to go about this but the list of my potential mentees keeps expanding exponentially, is there a way I can just select the few I intend to mentor? Is that even possible? In retrospect I now perfectly understand what Usedtobecool meant when he said he barely has time to work in areas he has perms to function in let alone RFA. I’m literally inundated with both backend and frontend work that it’s beginning to tire me. Forgive the digression but is there a manner in which I can just select who I want to mentor?
