Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week, for a decade of excellence. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

Editor Gracefool is a 10 year veteran of Wikipedia. The creator of 49 articles and 34 images, Gracefool "always leaves an edit summary" as a courtesy to subsequent editors. A member of the Typo Team and a WikiGnome, he has mentored many editors over the years. He prides himself in writing good captions for articles. As a Wiki Janitor, he is a jack-of-all-trades, a fixer of whatever needs to be fixed. Most of his work is hidden but he deserves recognition for it. Without the diligent work of this type of editor, Wikipedia would be a mess. Hard working veteran editors like this deserve a rousing and hearty thank you.

Thanks again for your efforts! Go Phightins! 20:36, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks heaps, what a nice surprise! Pretty random though, how did you even find me? There are so many great editors to choose from.

I see these go up on the responses page, so while I have a sandbox, check out the policy section on my userpage re my thoughts on what we need to do to make Wikipedia a friendlier place. And thanks for doing your bit to encourage us old hands. ··gracefool☺ 13:55, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Welcome (no contrib)

A tag has been placed on Template:Welcome (no contrib) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 23:11, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Ok thanks. Actually {{Welcome0}} is a duplicate of {{Welcome (no contrib)}} which is is 3 years older, but all good. ··gracefool☺ 09:12, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

It's a nice template, they kind of stole your idea. Meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 22:38, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello Gracefool. While updating TemplateScript in your common.js page, I noticed the templates you set up didn't seem to be working and fixed those for you. If you have trouble with any of my scripts, let me know and I'll help out. :) —Pathoschild 22:24, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (song) listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (song). Since you had some involvement with the ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (song) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Thanks, I've participated. ··gracefool💬 20:55, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Decompression sickness

Two things:

1. Section links in most browsers are case-sensitive, so if you want to link to Decompression practice #Decompression tables, then making a link to Decompression practice #decompression tables does not "link it to the right place". Try clicking them to see.
2. There is a existing redirect which already points Dive tables to Decompression practice #Decompression tables. Wikipedia prefers redirects to piped links for multiple reasons, not least of which is keeping the wikitext readable; MOS:REDIR explains other reasons.

I've reverted your latest, incorrect edit. --RexxS (talk) 17:13, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. The MOS has changed, it used to recommend not linking to redirects. That's what happens when I don't read it in 12 years :p ··gracefool 💬 23:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Parkour, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Run (film). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Editor of the Week : nominations needed!

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

I noticed you are a beginner-level JavaScript programmer...

I found you listed at Category:User js-1 (probably because you posted the corresponding userbox on your user page), and thought you might be interested in improving your skills by getting involved with developing user scripts, hobnobbing with other JavaScript programmers, and organizing and improving JavaScript articles and support pages.

We do all of that and more at the JavaScript WikiProject.

Scripts undergoing development, and the state of JavaScript on Wikipedia, are discussed on the talk page.

For an overview of JavaScript coverage on Wikipedia, see Draft:Outline of JavaScript and Index of JavaScript-related articles. For everything on user scripts, see User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts.

The WikiProject also organizes every resource it can find about JavaScript out there, such as articles, books, tutorials, etc. See our growing Reference library.

If you would like to join the JavaScript WikiProject, feel free to add your name to the participants list.

Hope to see you there! The Transhumanist 16:12, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Crystal View

The article Crystal View has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

With other mentions deleted, this is no longer a disambig; neither is it a candidate to be a redirect.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Proposed deletion of Prime Material Plane

The article Prime Material Plane has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence this fictional location passes WP:GNG or WP:NFICTION

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:11, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
