Hello Firefangledfeathers. I know you advised me not to make an AE thread for awhile (and this probably doesn't need the entire process anyway), so what would be the best thing to do about an warring account that violated the WP:GA/AA restriction [1] after being notified about it?

Hello How do your edit -- Dangels1234 ( talk) 05:47, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, firefangledfeathers, I just have a question, how do you do tables on your Wikipedia user page because I want to organize my templates that I used for my user page and I used userboxes but It seems that a lot of them don't work except for one that did work. So I wanted to take a different approach by adding tables but I don't know how, so can you help? Thanks! -- Starixxgamerrix ( talk) 21:11, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

FFF, is it acceptable to reopen the Murray RfC? I replied to your comment in the thread. I will take your advice regarding pings. As I said on the talk page, when I first made the change I noted the change in the RfC (see the comment location [ https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk:Douglas_Murray_(author)&diff=prev&oldid=1212566975#Request_for_Comment.) I've seen that done in the past when people try to clarify a RfC or add options. Of course they may have also pinged the editor on a user talk page. Thanks Springee ( talk) 01:43, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Mentor! I made a change in Wiki (Mike Rinder) and changed from "co-founded" to "joined". This has been an ongoing issue since Nov 2023 and multiple people have tried to correct it. How do I make a citation (even though others have already provided)? I can provide screen shots from the foundations website, but not sure how to provide it to Wiki for confirmation.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi, I am still working on "Rehovot". In the first paragraph, it says: Rehovot (Hebrew: רְחוֹבוֹת Reḥōvōt [ʁeχoˈvot] / [ʁeˈχovot]) is a city in the Central District of Israel, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) south of Tel Aviv. In 2021 it had a population of 147,878.[1] But there is updated information for 2022, as appears in the table on the right. How can this be updated in the opening text? It won't allow me to make the changes. -- DeeTsameret ( talk) 16:25, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
It is pretty clear in normal word to list the reasons for ban isn' t it? There were some complaints about me and it was kind of arbitration so i should know what finally was a reason for ban? it is very mysterious procedure. instead of giving clear evidence of wrongdoing it is all based that it breaches policy x or y. When i look in such policy it starts clear that the one who complains oneself breaches same policy . If you ban you must list exact reasons for ban.( in normal world of course). My students are very interested in case. Currently it 41-0 against English Wikipedia but maybe your explanation will help. I also hope that this text will be not a reason for ban. i see that it is a sport on this Wikipedia to invite someone to discuss and afterwards quickly ban for doing so.

Most definitions include the countries of Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Romania while less restrictive definitions may also include some or all of the Visegrád group, the Baltic states, the Balkans and the Caucasus. A majority of nations situated in Eastern Europe are former socialist republics of the Soviet Union...Another definition was created by the Cold War, as Europe was ideologically divided by the Iron Curtain, with "Eastern Europe" being synonymous with communist states constituting the Eastern Bloc under the influence of the Soviet Union.Per just those few sentences, it is clear what constitutes "Eastern Europe". However, like I said, if you wish for more exact clarification, you can post a clarification request to better define "Eastern Europe". Once again, the restriction is classified as "broadly constructed", meaning it is more or less discretionary depending on what exact topics are considered "Eastern Europe" to that person. Post a clarification request if you are unsatisfied with this explanation. Noting I am not an administrator, so I am attempting to answer your question (which Firefangledfeathers, an administrator seems to agree with) and directing you to the place where you may request more specific clarification.

Hi Firefangledfeathers - fyi, soon after the page protection you had added expired [3], an IP made what appear to have been test/null edits [4], which took some time to review to check for whether any disruption to the article happened. Also, as general context, contentious related news has continued to develop, so perhaps further page protection can be considered. Thank you, Beccaynr ( talk) 22:42, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello I have submitted two articles to Wikipedia, one has been declined and reviewed multiple times but the other and more significant of the two has not been reviewed once. I understand that it says to wait up to two months for review but it has now been over two months and my article on Franjo Krsto Delisimunovic has not been reviewed once. Just wondering if there's something I can do to have it reviewed or speed up the process. Thank you. -- WXYZ2468 ( talk) 23:32, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
I’m asking for your help because you are an admin who I see around on gensex articles. There is an edit notice on the Gender-critical feminism article saying that it should only be edited by users with 500 edits and an account age of 30 days i.e. editing is restricted to extended-confirmed users. I don’t know who added the restriction.
However, the article is not E-C protected. Should the page be E-C protected? Sweet6970 ( talk) 16:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

I have had these worm snakes in my yard. I live in a timber in Central Illinois Stark County, Illinois. Every spring they come out. I usually see at least 2 to 3 of them . They are a tarnish color and maybe 14 to 18 inches long an about 3/8 inch in diameter at the most. The underside is lighter than the top and kind of very light pink. I play with them for a minute and release them. My timber is unmowed even around my house. Plenty of dew worms because I do not spray any pesticides or herbicides. I have been finding these little snakes for many years. -- Delbertasueeklund ( talk) 02:58, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Firefangledfeathers! I should have asked this here [6] but does this topic apply to Turkey-related articles fully or only partially? I'm asking because it says "broadly construed" there, given Turkey is partially in Balkans? Would all Turkey related articles be covered? There is Category:Wikipedia_controversial_topics but I think it only goes by talk page templates put by editors. Bogazicili ( talk) 07:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
As a heads-up, I've upgraded to full protection for 72 hours due to edit warring/content dispute. I noticed that you've added a 3 month semi as a CTOP, so this is a courtesy note to restore the semi-protection when the full protection expires. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:36, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi! We're conducting a series of participatory workshops with Wikipedia editors, administrators, researchers, and Wikimedia employees to discuss, and hopefully improve, Wikipedia's structures for online research (see meta research page). In an effort to get the right people in the room to discuss these topics, I'm reaching out here to see if you are interested in participating as an active administrator. We'd work with you to ensure this workshop can fit into your schedule, but are targeting end of April/early May. I'm happy to discuss any of these topics further here or on our talk page.

Hello Firefangledfeathers,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:

Hi, thamks for your help offer. I am a great believer and supporter of free access to information. Wikipedia is a common repository of public knowledge. I have always wandered how do you edit or complement info in Wikipedia, but had never been invited to do so until today. There are several topics that interest me, one specific area in which I have studied in depth and have experience is water treatment, both for potable water as well as domestic and industrial wastewater. Another area in which I have expertice is in agricultural irrigation. I am a mechanical engineer with a Ph.D. in Thermodybanics and Fluid Mechanics and have worked all my life around water use, water conveyance, distribution, control and reuse in agricultural irrigation and water treatment. I shall get back in touch with you once I have reviewed what is already published in Wikipedia. Al -- Al Saint James ( talk) 21:47, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I know it's long over, but I was wondering how could've I handled it better. Basically, the guy kept making false allegations of WP:UCR against me just because he disagreed with my edit summary (as you said, it's not UCR if an edit summary makes sense but the reverter disagrees) so I had to scream at him in all caps because he didn't listen to me. I know that was quite inappropriate, so how else could I have gotten him to understand that disagreeing with an edit summary for removal is not UCR? 35.141.142.199 ( talk) 16:20, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey Firefangledflame. To follow up on our discussion at User_talk:ZeroAlpha87#FYI, I used PetScan and a tool to filter and see the disambiguations used for The Gambia and The Bahamas.
"(the Gambia)" and "(the Bahamas)" are not used in any article titles. Thought this was interesting and something we should probably get sorted out for consistency. Hey man im josh ( talk) 16:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

You're right, create protection doesn't seem to be the right protection level for that redirect... but I think the kerfuffle has died down after multiple discussions and everyone is OK living with the results. I don't think full protection is needed for the redirect--I'd check with The Anome to verify that, but I think create protection should have been removed after the closure at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 April 14#Where is Kate?. Not an urgent issue, as no one has edited the redirect in over two weeks. Jclemens ( talk) 04:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm asking because it says "broadly construed" there, given Turkey is partially in Balkans? Would all Turkey related articles be covered? There is Category:Wikipedia_controversial_topics but I think it only goes by talk page templates put by editors. Bogazicili ( talk) 07:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
As a heads-up, I've upgraded to full protection for 72 hours due to edit warring/content dispute. I noticed that you've added a 3 month semi as a CTOP, so this is a courtesy note to restore the semi-protection when the full protection expires. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:36, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi! We're conducting a series of participatory workshops with Wikipedia editors, administrators, researchers, and Wikimedia employees to discuss, and hopefully improve, Wikipedia's structures for online research (see meta research page). In an effort to get the right people in the room to discuss these topics, I'm reaching out here to see if you are interested in participating as an active administrator. We'd work with you to ensure this workshop can fit into your schedule, but are targeting end of April/early May. I'm happy to discuss any of these topics further here or on our talk page.

Hello Firefangledfeathers,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:

Hi, thamks for your help offer. I am a great believer and supporter of free access to information. Wikipedia is a common repository of public knowledge. I have always wandered how do you edit or complement info in Wikipedia, but had never been invited to do so until today. There are several topics that interest me, one specific area in which I have studied in depth and have experience is water treatment, both for potable water as well as domestic and industrial wastewater. Another area in which I have expertice is in agricultural irrigation. I am a mechanical engineer with a Ph.D. in Thermodybanics and Fluid Mechanics and have worked all my life around water use, water conveyance, distribution, control and reuse in agricultural irrigation and water treatment. I shall get back in touch with you once I have reviewed what is already published in Wikipedia. Al -- Al Saint James ( talk) 21:47, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

G'day, I want to add more detail about a battle we fought in Vietnam in 1971. The Battle of Nui Le has been covered and mostly centres on D Coy. I was in B Coy and we also took casualties and fought a numerically superior enemy force. I now have the official reports that detail the involvement. How do I include them in the report?

I know it's long over, but I was wondering how could've I handled it better. Basically, the guy kept making false allegations of WP:UCR against me just because he disagreed with my edit summary (as you said, it's not UCR if an edit summary makes sense but the reverter disagrees) so I had to scream at him in all caps because he didn't listen to me. I know that was quite inappropriate, so how else could I have gotten him to understand that disagreeing with an edit summary for removal is not UCR? 35.141.142.199 ( talk) 16:20, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey Firefangledflame. To follow up on our discussion at User_talk:ZeroAlpha87#FYI, I used PetScan and a tool to filter and see the disambiguations used for The Gambia and The Bahamas.
"(the Gambia)" and "(the Bahamas)" are not used in any article titles. Thought this was interesting and something we should probably get sorted out for consistency. Hey man im josh ( talk) 16:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello firefangledfeathers my awesome Mentor 🏆 I have a question. On Wikipedia location for Milton,Florida ...

You're right, create protection doesn't seem to be the right protection level for that redirect... but I think the kerfuffle has died down after multiple discussions and everyone is OK living with the results. I don't think full protection is needed for the redirect--I'd check with The Anome to verify that, but I think create protection should have been removed after the closure at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 April 14#Where is Kate?. Not an urgent issue, as no one has edited the redirect in over two weeks. Jclemens ( talk) 04:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
