My apologies for noticing this only now, but on donaldtrumpi in Q5, in the convert template could you add abbr=off so that the parameters in full are convert|10|cm|sigfig=1|abbr=off? (This changes the parenthetical 4 in to 4 inches.) Happy new year. E Eng 02:17, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Can you help me delete User:Chun Afong (bad move)? Also can you review Template:Did you know nominations/Chun Afong? I was holding it until I can get time to work it to a GA article but I don't have the time for that much detail. There is so much detail on this individual's life. There is a lot of common text between Julia and Afong's article so count it for Julia's article first. KAVEBEAR ( talk) 22:27, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I wonder if you could help here. My hook for Esther Farbstein was questioned at ERRORS and Gatoclass offered a new hook which works better.

Hi, I've been working my way through these bios, but today I come to the page and can't even keep track of it. Why did you re-order the names by year of induction rather than alphabetical order? Ooh, I see you did the same at Maine Women's Hall of Fame. Why? Frankly, it looks like a mess to me. We always alphabetize lists in sections of articles, disambiguation pages, etc. Yoninah ( talk) 23:13, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
It appears that Gerda has objected to the claim that there are sourcing issues in the article. Do you have an idea on how this issue can be addressed? It's holding the nomination back at this point. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 05:22, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment to the Easter nom. I spoke enough there, so excuse me coming here. The problem is that the ressurection of Jesus is something painters can only imagine, and I think we should have good reasons to present one of their imaginations on our Main page. Any single image limits the imagination of the reader. The one in the nom not only has nothing to do with the article, but borders on kitsch, for me, and where it comes from is unclear, - the website cited is a Christian promotional site. - Better no image than that one, - also the hook flows better without a "pictured"-clause. ALT1 without image that is, and that's approved. - I did browse the resurrection images we have on commons, and found no other suitable one, btw. We had one once, remember? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:56, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Maile, I remember you saying that you are interested doing the GA review for Valentina Tereshkova. The article is not completely ready but I think we are getting there. If I start the GAN now, would you be willing to start on the review concurrently. There are a few gaps that need to be filled but it would be helpful to have a third opinion on where the worst of these gaps are. I am sure you noticed at Mae Jemison that I go above and beyond, perhaps too far for a GA. --- Coffeeand crumbs 21:42, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your comment at WT:DYK. We really do have to update the rules. I think Gatoclass was going to propose something, but we all know it's going to take so much effort and be such a battle for consensus, with editors coming out of the woodwork to vote things down, that it feels like a losing proposition. But something has to be done; the rules are pretty outdated. Yoninah ( talk) 23:56, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I have no idea why you reverted the work I did on the article regarding the sources for this article. I was going through each source in the Bibliography to check its availability online, and to improve the online link to the source if possible. I have followed advice given to me when produce GAs, e.g. not including oclc refs if isbn refs are available, not including Google Books urls if the page is unavailable online, adding templates if subscriptions are required or if the book is freely accessible, making the titles exactly as stated in the books and not an approximation, adding authorlinks where I found them, making ISBN numbers consistent in style. I was doing this work prior to agreeing to review the article.
If I hear no response from you to explain your edit, i will assume you simply didn't look carefully at what I did, and will restore it. Thanks. Amitchell125 ( talk) 15:41, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Regarding this alert:
Chittenden, the subject of the article, was not mentioned first, and LaBarge is mentioned twice. And you're right, LaBarge is described in some detail i.e. "fur trader captain"??

Maile, the DYKUpdateBot is still down, so the promotion from queue to the main page didn't happen at 00:00 (it's 00:37 as I type this).
The 12:00 update was done, about two hours late, by Gatoclass, but I don't see them around at the moment. Similarly, others who I usually try are not around. I wouldn't expect to see Shubinator, the bot owner, around for another couple of hours at least, assuming that he looks in tonight—he doesn't always.
All this is preliminary to asking whether, if you are around, you'd be willing to do a manual update. The instructions are on any queue page at the Posting the new update section. I imagine it would be helpful to see what the DYKUpdateBot did in its last update (just take a look at its contributions) as an aid to memory. Thanks for anything you can do (though I may have missed you, since you tend to stop editing around now or a bit earlier); if it isn't feasible, then we'll cross our fingers and hope Shubinator shows up soon, or maybe you can think of another admin who might want to take a crack. Since this would normally be an automated task, I don't think there's any conflict for an admin who has worked earlier on the set to do the final promotion.

I apologise for adding the noeditsection magic word into the template without prior discussion; thanks for reverting it.

Hi, I'm a little surprised that you didn't hold this nomination for an image slot. We worked very hard on the licensing, and it really is a great hook. At the very least it deserves a quirky slot. Yoninah ( talk) 20:48, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Maile, do you do history merges? Something very odd happened to this nomination, and while this is the actual page that needs to be retained, it needs to have a history merge with Template:Did you know nominations/7 Championship, after which the latter can be deleted.
What happened is this: when Template:Did you know nominations/WWE 24/7 Championship was created, the nompage parameter was only "7 Championship" rather than "WWE 24/7 Championship"—the software has trouble dealing with the slash character in an article name, because of the way it parses things.
So, when LLcentury went to review the nomination, it went to (and created?) a "7 Championship" page including a transclusion of the original page and placed the review there, plus all subsequent edits by LLcentury went there, a test edit (removed shortly thereafter) by Aoba47, and then Cwmhiraeth's post noting issues.
In parallel to that, ONUnicorn did a test edit (also removed) on the original "WWE 24/7 Championship". A couple of days ago, Teratix noticed that the review was in the wrong place and copied it over to the WWE 24/7 Championship page, but didn't fix that template. I've just fixed it so all the review is in one place; we just need the parallel edit histories to be combined on said Template:Did you know nominations/WWE 24/7 Championship nomination template. When that's done, Template:Did you know nominations/7 Championship can go away.
Please let me know whether you have any questions. If this isn't something you're prepared to do, can you recruit another admin for the task? Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 04:13, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, this nomination was rejected as ineligible for DYK per WP:DYK#Eligibility criteria 1. d. The nominator has rightly requested that a bolded appearance on "On This Day" be added to the GA review notification template, which currently says: If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Would you be able to update that template? Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 21:42, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item,with something that includes OTD, perhaps something like
If the article has not already been on the main page as a "Did you know" item or an "In the news" or "On this day" item in a bold link (but not only a simple OTD bolded name and year of birth/death),. (There's probably a less involved way of specifying this.) And, of course, any change to Template:GANotice needs to be reflected in a change to Template:GANotice/doc to show the updated output from the template.

If the article has not already been on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or a bold link "In the news" or "On this day" prose section bold link, it is eligible for DYK.

Maile, can I ask you to please archive the second section on the DYK talk page, "Oldest nominations needing DYK reviewers"? The regular archiver isn't getting rid of it because of some later timestamps on the page, but it is obsolete: the newer version of that section, "Older nominations needing DYK reviewers", has been up for a few days, and people should be using that one, not the obsolete one. Besides, a shorter DYK talk page is always a good thing. (I've never used OneClickArchiver; I generally prefer to let the bot take care of things.)

Hi Maile
Just a reminder that when changing images in main page templates such as DYK, they need to be protected on Commons first, to prevent vandals replacing them with something obscene in the time between the replacement and the Commons protection bot catching up with the new image. Unless I've misread the course of events it looks like you didn't do that with the Gloucester Docks one. The easiest way is to add the image at Wikipedia:Main_Page/Commons_media_protection, then go to the Commons page mentioned there and wait for it to appear.

Can you merge the history of the User:KAVEBEAR/Teriitaria II with Teriitaria II? KAVEBEAR ( talk) 19:47, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Hey, happy holidays. Would you mind taking a review of Teriitaria II before the new year? I'm trying to wrap that up for this month. I technically have two supports (one technically without a formal review so IDK if that would count) and waiting on a third. KAVEBEAR ( talk) 06:30, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
I noticed your response to my request for protection of LaShawn Daniels' wikipedia page. While I am well aware of the definition of a conflict of interest and do not need to look at the wikipedia page to learn what one is, I do wonder how it applies in this scenario. Wikipedia seems to have the upmost interest in being an encyclopedia that provides accurate information to the public. Part of that is allowing the public to edit different pages to provide their perspective/information. However, as an encyclopedia, the accuracy of information should be a priority. If I, as the executor of his estate, am in the best position to provide this information, while members of the public continue to provide false information, it seems that protecting this page in some capacity to prevent edit warring should be considered - regardless of whether a 'conflict of interest' is actually present. Okramber ( talk) 03:13, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
I have noticed that there are certain celebrities and other high-profile individuals that have semi-protection and other sorts of protection levels on their wikipedia pages. Therefore, if restricting it to solely one individual is not possible, can wikipedia at least protect the page so that new members are not able to edit the LaShawn Daniels page to provide inaccurate/false information?

Hi, I've been working my way through these bios, but today I come to the page and can't even keep track of it. Why did you re-order the names by year of induction rather than alphabetical order?

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment to the Easter nom. I spoke enough there, so excuse me coming here. The problem is that the ressurection of Jesus is something painters can only imagine, and I think we should have good reasons to present one of their imaginations on our Main page. Any single image limits the imagination of the reader. The one in the nom not only has nothing to do with the article, but borders on kitsch, for me, and where it comes from is unclear, - the website cited is a Christian promotional site. - Better no image than that one, - also the hook flows better without a "pictured"-clause. ALT1 without image that is, and that's approved. - I did browse the resurrection images we have on commons, and found no other suitable one, btw. We had one once, remember? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:56, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Maile, I remember you saying that you are interested doing the GA review for Valentina Tereshkova. The article is not completely ready but I think we are getting there. If I start the GAN now, would you be willing to start on the review concurrently. There are a few gaps that need to be filled but it would be helpful to have a third opinion on where the worst of these gaps are. I am sure you noticed at Mae Jemison that I go above and beyond, perhaps too far for a GA. --- Coffeeand crumbs 21:42, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your comment at WT:DYK. We really do have to update the rules. I think Gatoclass was going to propose something, but we all know it's going to take so much effort and be such a battle for consensus, with editors coming out of the woodwork to vote things down, that it feels like a losing proposition. But something has to be done; the rules are pretty outdated. Yoninah ( talk) 23:56, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I have no idea why you reverted the work I did on the article regarding the sources for this article. I was going through each source in the Bibliography to check its availability online, and to improve the online link to the source if possible. I have followed advice given to me when produce GAs, e.g. not including oclc refs if isbn refs are available, not including Google Books urls if the page is unavailable online, adding templates if subscriptions are required or if the book is freely accessible, making the titles exactly as stated in the books and not an approximation, adding authorlinks where I found them, making ISBN numbers consistent in style. I was doing this work prior to agreeing to review the article.
If I hear no response from you to explain your edit, i will assume you simply didn't look carefully at what I did, and will restore it. Thanks. Amitchell125 ( talk) 15:41, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Chittenden, the subject of the article, was not mentioned first, and LaBarge is mentioned twice. And you're right, LaBarge is described in some detail i.e. "fur trader captain"??

Maile, the DYKUpdateBot is still down, so the promotion from queue to the main page didn't happen at 00:00 (it's 00:37 as I type this).
The 12:00 update was done, about two hours late, by Gatoclass, but I don't see them around at the moment. Similarly, others who I usually try are not around. I wouldn't expect to see Shubinator, the bot owner, around for another couple of hours at least, assuming that he looks in tonight—he doesn't always.
All this is preliminary to asking whether, if you are around, you'd be willing to do a manual update. The instructions are on any queue page at the Posting the new update section. I imagine it would be helpful to see what the DYKUpdateBot did in its last update (just take a look at its contributions) as an aid to memory. Thanks for anything you can do (though I may have missed you, since you tend to stop editing around now or a bit earlier); if it isn't feasible, then we'll cross our fingers and hope Shubinator shows up soon, or maybe you can think of another admin who might want to take a crack. Since this would normally be an automated task, I don't think there's any conflict for an admin who has worked earlier on the set to do the final promotion.

I apologise for adding the noeditsection magic word into the template without prior discussion; thanks for reverting it.

Hi, I'm a little surprised that you didn't hold this nomination for an image slot. We worked very hard on the licensing, and it really is a great hook. At the very least it deserves a quirky slot. Yoninah ( talk) 20:48, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Maile, do you do history merges? Something very odd happened to this nomination, and while this is the actual page that needs to be retained, it needs to have a history merge with Template:Did you know nominations/7 Championship, after which the latter can be deleted.
What happened is this: when Template:Did you know nominations/WWE 24/7 Championship was created, the nompage parameter was only "7 Championship" rather than "WWE 24/7 Championship"—the software has trouble dealing with the slash character in an article name, because of the way it parses things.
So, when LLcentury went to review the nomination, it went to (and created?) a "7 Championship" page including a transclusion of the original page and placed the review there, plus all subsequent edits by LLcentury went there, a test edit (removed shortly thereafter) by Aoba47, and then Cwmhiraeth's post noting issues.
In parallel to that, ONUnicorn did a test edit (also removed) on the original "WWE 24/7 Championship". A couple of days ago, Teratix noticed that the review was in the wrong place and copied it over to the WWE 24/7 Championship page, but didn't fix that template. I've just fixed it so all the review is in one place; we just need the parallel edit histories to be combined on said Template:Did you know nominations/WWE 24/7 Championship nomination template. When that's done, Template:Did you know nominations/7 Championship can go away.
Please let me know whether you have any questions. If this isn't something you're prepared to do, can you recruit another admin for the task? Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 04:13, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, this nomination was rejected as ineligible for DYK per WP:DYK#Eligibility criteria 1. d.

If the article has not already been on the main page as a "Did you know" item or an "In the news" or "On this day" item in a bold link (but not only a simple OTD bolded name and year of birth/death),.

Maile, can I ask you to please archive the second section on the DYK talk page, "Oldest nominations needing DYK reviewers"? The regular archiver isn't getting rid of it because of some later timestamps on the page, but it is obsolete: the newer version of that section, "Older nominations needing DYK reviewers", has been up for a few days, and people should be using that one, not the obsolete one. Besides, a shorter DYK talk page is always a good thing. (I've never used OneClickArchiver; I generally prefer to let the bot take care of things.)

Hi Maile
Just a reminder that when changing images in main page templates such as DYK, they need to be protected on Commons first, to prevent vandals replacing them with something obscene in the time between the replacement and the Commons protection bot catching up with the new image. Unless I've misread the course of events it looks like you didn't do that with the Gloucester Docks one. The easiest way is to add the image at Wikipedia:Main_Page/Commons_media_protection, then go to the Commons page mentioned there and wait for it to appear.

Damon Runyon's short story
"Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the
hot Tom and Jerry

I put some miscellaneous administrator tasks in queue and you executed them for me within the hour. Thanks for performing the role of administrator and conducting oversight of sensitive functions. I feel encouraged in Wikipedia when I know that people like you are there to support what I am doing. Blue Rasberry (talk) 12:52, 22 December 2019 (UTC) |

Can you merge the history of the User:KAVEBEAR/Teriitaria II with Teriitaria II? KAVEBEAR ( talk) 19:47, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Hey, happy holidays. Would you mind taking a review of Teriitaria II before the new year? I'm trying to wrap that up for this month. I technically have two supports (one technically without a formal review so IDK if that would count) and waiting on a third. KAVEBEAR ( talk) 06:30, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
I noticed your response to my request for protection of LaShawn Daniels' wikipedia page. While I am well aware of the definition of a conflict of interest and do not need to look at the wikipedia page to learn what one is, I do wonder how it applies in this scenario. Wikipedia seems to have the upmost interest in being an encyclopedia that provides accurate information to the public. Part of that is allowing the public to edit different pages to provide their perspective/information. However, as an encyclopedia, the accuracy of information should be a priority. If I, as the executor of his estate, am in the best position to provide this information, while members of the public continue to provide false information, it seems that protecting this page in some capacity to prevent edit warring should be considered - regardless of whether a 'conflict of interest' is actually present.

I have noticed that there are certain celebrities and other high-profile individuals that have semi-protection and other sorts of protection levels on their wikipedia pages. Therefore, if restricting it to solely one individual is not possible, can wikipedia at least protect the page so that new members are not able to edit the LaShawn Daniels page to provide inaccurate/false information?
