I should probably mention that Patient Zero has been my username since 2016, not 2014, as I underwent a rename! But I do appreciate your rapid closing of that thread and the way that you dealt with the matter. :-) Patient Zero talk 21:31, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Sonia Furstenau, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) ( talk) 21:44, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Today I am happy about a singer on the Main page (at least for the first hours), after TFA the same day last year. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:15, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks to Seiji Ozawa. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:55, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:10, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for this revert but the editor, previously an IP, made earlier changes that didn't get reverted – I can't because I'm at 3RR. Would you be willing to? 81.187.192.168 ( talk) 15:55, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
This is the last time I’m trying, if this isn’t good enough, then Wikipedia isn’t for me, could you please look at my draft? Draft:Benji Krol if there are any small errors, please just help me and fix them instead of declining it. Joshbanana ( talk) 04:16, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you blocked the user I reported to UAA. There was another user in the log that was created by the same user with an offensive username. Both offensive summaries were the same. Could you revdel? Thank you. ClumsyOwlet ( talk) 20:55, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

In spite of your clear warning to not edit war, Brusquedandelion ( talk · contribs) has again added the label of "Far right" that they had been edit warring for prior to your full protection of the page. They have been edit warring for it for quite some time previously [5] [6] [7] [8] and dont seem to have any intention of stopping after multiple warnings from multiple users. Please do look into it. Thanks, Captain Jack Sparrow ( talk) 19:24, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) Just following this from a distance but wanted to weigh in some thoughts. An edit war is not started until until there are two reverts to a change. While BRD is not the end all to how content disputes are resolved it is the framework for how best to resolve. There was a bold change. There was a reversion. There has to be, at some point, discussion. The fact that there was another reversion was the initial "salvo" in the edit war. No fault, at that point, can be placed on the opposite side. However, when it was reverted again the other side became equally at fault. While it does not take two to initiate an edit war it takes two or more to continue it so if an edit war continues at the article that means there are two sides, not editors, continuing to revert each other. As an intervening uninvolved administrator, Hammersoft, can not enter it with the approach of determining which side is correct but how best to stop the disruption (edit war) and that can involve issuing warning's to both sides up to temporary blocks to cool the situation. I don't see where Hammersoft has condoned any edit warring and I think it would be best for both sides in this to heed his advice to seek some form of proper dispute resolution before sanctions are handed down. -- ARose Wolf 17:58, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi
Regarding a user that you blocked. Would you consider removing their talk page access as they are abusing their own talk page.

Thanks for blocking User:Communitypitisan. I was just about to submit an SPI report but noticed you had already blocked them in the meantime. – DreamRimmer ( talk) 13:50, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
@ DreamRimmer: I'm curious; why aren't you an administrator? I did a very cursory review of your editing history, and it seems like you might be well qualified. Interested? If so, I can dig into your contribs deeper and give you some more complete feedback. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 13:56, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Happy First Edit Day! Hi Hammersoft! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! The Herald (Benison) ( talk) 01:46, 22 March 2024 (UTC) |
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2024).
User Bettyboots12368 has been deleting relevant edits to the personal life section with no explanation except that “information was not relevant” but it is and is properly cited the edits were not made by me but more senior members of the wiki community. I only reverted the edit once to the revisions users JeffSpaceman and bloopyfloop originally made. User jeffspaceman even got the assistance of an user Spanneraol to override Bettyboots12368 deletion. I’m requesting a block on user Bettyboots12368 from editing Taylor Russell’s page and revert back to revision made by user bloopyfloop. 3 different users including myself believe the revision is necessary and relevant despite Bettyboots12368 insistence on deleting the information.

Hi Hammersoft. Would you mind taking a look at this and this, and perhaps the other recent additions to List of Australian flags and List of proposed Australian flags? There is an edit notice at the top of the editing window for "List of Australian flags" regarding the use of non-free files in the article, but the person adding the files might've just overlooked it. FWIW, File:ASeaCadetsFlag.png seems to have been discussed at NFCR and was removed by you, but a {{ Non-free reviewed}} template was never added to the file's page. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 08:55, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Hammersoft would you be able to extend protection period for this page? It will keep being vandalized. Thanks Bettyboots12368 ( talk) 17:05, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

I've owed you one of these for some time now, and today is the day that I send you what I feel that I've owed you for much too long.
Dang, you beat me to it... TWICE NOW (because I'm writing this to you)! Well done. I want to thank you for being here for us, volunteering your time, energy, and your diligence to this project. You've been around pretty much as long as I have, and we've interacted many times. We're becoming a rarer and rarer breed; people who have this long of a consistent service to this project. So much has changed over the years that we've been here. From getting rollback and account creator, to seeing recent changes protection level 2 rights to come and disappear.... We're dinosaurs, Hammersoft...... I'm happy that you're still among us. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 00:35, 18 April 2024 (UTC) |
