Welcome to my talk page!
I like to keep things compact, and don't have any great ideas for my user page yet, so my signature directs here. I was a long-time reader and lurker (since 2003). I appreciate the Five pillars and the idea of open knowledge, and want to give something back; this is why I began editing in 2021. I'd like to receive your feedback on anything I've done. Expect a reply! :) By the way:

Because you have good ideas! Amoxicillin on a Boat ( talk) 14:32, 19 March 2024 (UTC) |
Hi, regarding
this edit, you must never copy the |rfcid=
from
another RfC, they must be unique - you should always let Legobot assign its own. By copying the |rfcid=
, this caused the listing entries to
become corrupted.
No corrective action is required in this instance because this removal by Nemov ( talk · contribs) has triggered Legobot to repair the listing entry. -- Redrose64 🌹 ( talk) 14:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
The article Killing of Shani Louk you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Killing of Shani Louk for comments about the article, and Talk:Killing of Shani Louk/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Irruptive Creditor -- Irruptive Creditor ( talk) 07:02, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 11:55, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
What is your Email? I made a project...a WIKI project...and wanted to share it with you.
P.S. It is on Google Sites. Amoxicillin on a Boat ( talk) 03:37, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello Alalch E.,
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.

MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 16:27, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Interesting but annoying. The portal isn't finished. In my opinion, it isn't worth finishing, but I am recommending that the closer wait until the originator comes off block to see if they have any comments. If it were finished, it would still be inferior to the deleted portal. Since it isn't substantially identical, you are correct that it isn't a G4, but it won't be as good as the deleted portal, which still wasn't worth keeping.
Do new portals appear in the New Page feed? Is that how you saw that this portal had been recreated? Robert McClenon ( talk) 04:31, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
The meaning of WP:NOTBROKEN is that we're not supposed to go around "fixing" the use of redirects that are not broken. I don't see any functional difference between that and what I observed in those edits - the edits changed from linking the text "xyz" to the river article under that same name, to linking the text "xyz" to the river article under another name. Whoever would follow that link would not even get the redirected from <that name> caption, they'd just find themselves in the river article which has been renamed and so you just ended up creating a WP:EASTEREGG. It's a pointless activity that has no value to readers or editors, please don't do that. -- Joy ( talk) 17:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
(BTW I'm not 'she', rather 'he'. Sorry for the confusing name, it's a relic of a different time, a time of joy and happiness, when I wasn't aware it was a feminine name in the English-speaking world. :) -- Joy ( talk) 11:22, 8 April 2024 (UTC))
Is also trying to coatrack entheogens and religion into the {{ Alcohol and health}} template, then spam that template onto multiple religion articles, FYI. Skyerise ( talk) 19:47, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
... for this edit. This was obviously one of the rare occasions when changing another editor's post was the right thing to do.👍 JBW ( talk) 13:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Greetings, i am Alex Brad Casanas, mostly known on YouTube and Reddit by my alias MISTER MANTICORE. I appreciate your work in The Monument Mythos article but as you can see i left a message to my fans and the article editors, as my therapist recommended me to ask you all to stop the work on the article and to delete it for my mental sanity keep. If you don't know about me, i did horrible things in the past and i had to seek for mental help after it, and that article only makes me feel grief and damage slowly my mental sanity as it reminds me of the bad things i did. Thanks for taking your time and reading my message.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Brad Casanas (MISTER MANTICORE) Alex Brad Casanas ( talk) 15:16, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi!
Speaking from extensive past experience at Talk:Russian invasion of Ukraine, in my opinion talk page discussion would be a much better way to effect infobox changes.
I had to use a Twinkle restore as it wasn’t practical to do a manual reversion, so I cordially invite you to redo the source rescues.
Cheers, RadioactiveBoulevardier ( talk) 09:04, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Do you often do recent major news events? If not, you should consider doing more of them, your emphasis on procedure and no-nonsense is ideal for it Alexanderkowal ( talk) 22:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Wikipedia, as a sort of the idea of it, is to be very open to accepting contributions, to the point that a lot of material can be put together very quickly, and it can be updated immediately when events change. For instance, when something important happens in current events, we have an article on it right away. If you would like to collaborate with me on a specific current event article, start a new current event article and seek my input etc., I'd be very glad to participate. — Alalch E. 23:23, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
