Many thanks Anomalocaris. Night fury 12:26, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for taking care of it! — Anomalocaris ( talk) 22:02, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Excuse me, but why are you saying “love interest”. You know their a couple in HTTYD 2, and betrothed in the series. Why don’t you put “Hiccup’s girlfriend” for all our sakes?! Jjwheels21 ( talk) 16:06, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Jjwheels21; If you find a source, then I will reconsider. Your edits saying "girlfriend and future wife" require a source. Do you have one? I have seen no references at all that state this. Night fury 16:09, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

I sent you a link. So could you please put Astrid as Hiccup’s girlfriend. Why would it require a source if already a couple by the time of the 2nd movie? Jjwheels21 ( talk) 03:21, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Jjwheels21:- I have not received any link, where did you send it to? Regarding sourcing, despite being obvious in the second film, it is too early to assume, as you put it "girlfriend and future wife", the term "girlfriend" isn't used in the film, "future wife" is mentioned loosely by Stoick granted, but take note of WP:CRYSTALBALL point 3, which states that speculation cannot be tolerated. If they proposed in the film, it would be a different matter and thus be allowed into the article. Night fury 13:19, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

I keep trying to put it up here, but it’s not showing up. Jjwheels21 ( talk) 13:35, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I’ve undone your edit as the reason for center image was to avoid messy layout, regards -- palmiped |  Talk  14:30, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Palmiped, I would actually disagree with that as now it looks messy by introducing a load of empty whitespace to the article. Each to their own I suppose. Night fury 14:47, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello Nightfury, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

• The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
• We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

• We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update:

• ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
• Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2018).

Administrator changes

Lourdes†

AngelOfSadness • Bhadani • Chris 73 • Coren • Friday • Midom • Mike V

† Lourdes has requested that her admin rights be temporarily removed, pending her return from travel.

Guideline and policy news

• The autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) is scheduled to end on 14 March 2018. The results of the research collected can be read on Meta Wiki.
• Community ban discussions must now stay open for at least 24 hours prior to being closed.
• A change to the administrator inactivity policy has been proposed. Under the proposal, if an administrator has not used their admin tools for a period of five years and is subsequently desysopped for inactivity, the administrator would have to file a new RfA in order to regain the tools.
• A change to the banning policy has been proposed which would specify conditions under which a repeat sockmaster may be considered de facto banned, reducing the need to start a community ban discussion for these users.

Technical news

• CheckUsers are now able to view private data such as IP addresses from the edit filter log, e.g. when the filter prevents a user from creating an account. Previously, this information was unavailable to CheckUsers because access to it could not be logged.
• The edit filter has a new feature contains_all that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.

Miscellaneous

• Following the 2018 Steward elections, the following users are our new stewards: -revi, Green Giant, Rxy, There'sNoTime, علاء.

Obituaries

• Bhadani (Gangadhar Bhadani) passed away on 8 February 2018. Bhadani joined Wikipedia in March 2005 and became an administrator in September 2005. While he was active, Bhadani was regarded as one of the most prolific Wikipedians from India.

Dear Nightfury

The reason I reverted the edit, is because the main picture was previously changed on February 4th see: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Great_Western_Railway_(train_operating_company)&diff=823935291&oldid=823812153 This has long been an issue where enthusiasts mainly excited young persons keep changing the main picture constantly causing arguments. The picture in question showed a good representation, I saw no need for Cloudbound to change it, hence why I reverted it before, someone else didn't like it and changed it again! As I have said in my new revert, if this keeps being an issue then I suggest removing the main photo and only having the logo.

Best wishes 209.93.106.208 ( talk) 21:27, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me where Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Pre- and post-nominals discussion needs reopening went. Can you tell me where I can make this request to get a resolution of this guidelines issue, whether Fr., Sr., SJ, OSB, and other religious identifiers (showing stable subordination to a religious superior) should be considered honorifics, as has been explained at the (closed) discussion ? Jzsj ( talk) 13:16, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Jzsj, I wouldnt be able to help, unfortunately, you can ask below your question on AN/I, to see if someone would know? Thanks Night fury 13:22, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

May I ask why you reverted my csd tagging, only to reapply the same tag yourself 2 minutes later? {{3x|p}}ery ( talk) 15:52, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Pppery The tag you placed produced a red link - I reverted and placed a new one on the article through Twinkle. Night fury 15:53, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Of course, should have realized that. {{3x|p}}ery ( talk) 15:57, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
