Hi Valereee, could you clarify why this article was EC-protected? The log states as being due to persistent vandalism. Is this correct? Thanks, Arcturus ( talk) 22:57, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey Valereee. I actually came here specifically to thank you for making that page extended protected. We were getting 4+ edits a minute there for awhile even with extended protection, so I can only imagine what it would have been like with IP's editing, and with people reverting the IP's. I think the article came out really high quality considering how breaking this news is. Less than 12 hours after it happened, we already have a lengthy article, of good quality, and multiple sub-articles. Also, I checked the last 500 edits, and there were only 3 undos or reverts. It is quite a treat to work on an article with other experienced editors, who rarely make bad edits, rarely revert, and don't vandalize at all. So anyway, thank you, I think you made a great judgment call and I really appreciate it. See you around. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 06:32, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello Elder Wikipedia Entity, you seem like the person to ask my question to: is there a way to find articles that specifically need copyediting or other specific fixes? For a while, when I started editing, a little bar would pop up at the top of my screen and say 'edit another article' or something like that after I finished editing the last page, but I've lost that little bar and it won't come back. I've just been hitting the random article link to find articles with a flag for copyediting, but that's inefficient. Can I get that bar back or is there a button for that? Any help is appreciated! Cheers and please take care in these trying times. JoePhin ( talk) 08:45, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Should the T-Bans of Fiveby, Amr Ibn and Supreme Deliciousness also be noted at the Wikipedia:General sanctions/Syrian Civil War and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant? Also, seeing those general sanctions already existing and that most blocks were enforced for 3/1RR violation. Couldn't there be imposed also blocks for ISIS-Erdogan or Assad POV pushing? We are on Wikipedia where consensus is supported, and POV of authoritarian regimes doesn't seem to have a lot of academic consensus but cause a lot of disruption to Admin attention. I mean, Admins do really have better things to do than to figure out if areas liberated from ISIS are or were Kurdish occupied or not. ISIS is the most classified terror organization and very well known for their fierce opposition to women's rights thanks to their multiple front page appearances in reliable news outlets. If wonder what would happen if anyone would call the Warsaw Ghetto Jewish occupied. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 03:19, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
I've seen your interest in a broader case, and your amusement over the resistance to accept the case filed by GPinkerton. I was actually attempting to file a case on the broader Kurdish issue and viewing that one of the resistance is based on that it was filed by GPinkerton, could you quickly check on what I've prepared at User:Paradise Chronicle/ArbComCaseand see if this could actually find some approval? I've added some more diffs than GPinkerton, but the issues are mainly the same. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 01:15, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Valereee,
The Editing team has scheduled a major update to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools (the new Reply tool) for next week's deployment train. Since you invoke the feature from a script ( I do, too), you're probably going to see that update next week, before it's officially released in the mw:Beta Feature system. The new update will use a similar system for starting a ==New discussion==. As before, full-page wikitext editing will not be affected. There is more information on the project page at mw:Talk pages project/New discussion.
You don't have to do anything about this; I just didn't want you to be surprised. If you encounter problems next week, please ping me or leave a note on the talk page for the project. Thanks, Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 22:18, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, pinging you again about As-Sajda and related articles (previous thread here). JorgeLaArdilla is doing it again [2] [3], multiple editors pointed out problems in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Islam#JorgeLaArdilla's_edits_on_Quran_suras those problems are still not fixed, and in the discussion no one seems to agree with the user's edits.

hi Valereee – I'm Peter, one of the people at the Wikimedia Foundation working on the new Reply Tool for talk pages.
When looking over recent changes to see how the Reply Tool was being used at en.wiki, I saw your username quite a bit. This led me to wonder: what do you think of the tool so far? Is it at all changing how you think about and/or use talk pages? No worries if nothing immediately comes to mind. Although, if something does strike you at some future point, we'd value you letting us know (I see you've already talked with Whatamidoing (WMF) at mediawiki.org: https://w.wiki/tZq). PPelberg (WMF) ( talk) 00:34, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Also it would be nice to be able to see the preview without having to toggle to source -- I've multiple times had to re-edit because I put markup in, then realized the reply tool surrounds it with nowiki.

Regarding this: There's no way I would reopen that matter after a few months; it was either blockworthy at the time of the report as recent back-to-back disruption, or it wasn't [barely]. If that editor needed a return to AE later, it would have to be for something new. I can't see a rationale for me or anyone else to bring up the same request after a bunch of time had passed, barring new issues, with these by-then-old diffs just as background if relevant at all.

Hi Valereee, We worked together a bit on the Paul Elias Alexander article and DYK a few months ago. This has nothing to do with that but I've noticed something and need to ask an admin.
Over the course of the last few days a user has been replacing hundreds of Death by Year categories with Suicides by Year. Mykola Khvylovy is a recent example. Is this appropriate? Although I know that categories should be as specific as possible, I thought that (for example} Category:1933 deaths was a standard defining biography category and should be there regardless of the means of death. That's how I read Wikipedia:Categorization_of_people#N. Am I wrong?
I also sort of wonder what's up with this user... There's no User page and only one Talk page message, a welcome dated January 2018.
Thanks! HazelAB ( talk) 19:42, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

That is, no one's on the warpath (not me, anyway). I was even going to let the original post of that pair slide; it was the doubling-down reply that triggered the report. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 01:01, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Valereee, We worked together a bit on the Paul Elias Alexander article and DYK a few months ago. This has nothing to do with that but I've noticed something and need to ask an admin.
Over the course of the last few days a user has been replacing hundreds of Death by Year categories with Suicides by Year. Mykola Khvylovy is a recent example. Is this appropriate? Although I know that categories should be as specific as possible, I thought that (for example} Category:1933 deaths was a standard defining biography category and should be there regardless of the means of death. That's how I read Wikipedia:Categorization_of_people#N. Am I wrong?
I also sort of wonder what's up with this user... There's no User page and only one Talk page message, a welcome dated January 2018.
Thanks! HazelAB ( talk) 19:42, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, IRL stuff going on, found 35 pings just now and I don't have time to deal with all. Is this something I still need to look at?
I added a few sources I found on Gale. If you can't access them, let me know and I'll email you. The Rambling Man ( Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:33, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
