theMeatly

I just saw Special:Permalink/1080753136#Redirect request: TheMeatly and noticed Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 November 20#Technoblade (and others). I really don't think theMeatly really belongs in that group since he literally made the game Bendy and the Ink Machine (and is mentioned throughout the article). Would you consider changing your stance on that?

Either way, I always appreciate the great work you do on WP:AFC/R. That place wouldn't function without you! :D –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 18:42, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

@MJL: I only objected per the result of the RfD; I don't particularly mind either way.
I've been at WP:AFCRC long enough to remember Aseleste, and they are sorely missed. They helped me get started editing Wikipedia, and I probably wouldn't have stayed in at WP:AFCRC without them. ― Qwerfjkltalk 18:55, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

    • Made use of the new fields added in the wbsearchentities API and added language information to the markup of entity searches that you see when editing a statement or searching with the little searchbox at the top of the page on Wikidata. Now these search results should make a bit more sense to people who use screen readers.

Edit request for Eliot Cutler add Thornburg Investment Management to work history

Please Change X to Y: Cutler was born and raised in a Jewish family in Bangor, Maine, the eldest son of Lawrence and Catherine Cutler. His father was a physician and his mother was an economist. Cutler received secondary education at Deerfield Academy. He then proceeded to graduate from Harvard College and later earned a degree from Georgetown Law. Cutler began his career as a legislative assistant to Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine, helping craft the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act. He served as associate director for Natural Resources, Energy and Science in the Office of Management and Budget in the Carter administration, and was the principal White House official for energy. He then worked from 1980 to 1988 for the law firm Webster & Sheffield, focusing mostly on environmental and land use issues. He was a founding partner of Cutler & Stanfield LLP, with fellow Webster & Sheffield associate Jeffrey Stanfield, which became the second-largest environmental law firm in the country, eventually merging that practice with international firm Akin Gump in 2000. In 1990, Cutler purchased property on Shore Road in Cape Elizabeth. In an interview with Portland Magazine, Cutler recounted the purchase, "It took two years to find this property. Once we saw it and bought it, we wanted to build a house that sat well on land and was not overly imposing, from the road or the water. We needed lots of room for us and our family, a growing family along the course of time, where we could gather family and friends to enjoy the Maine Coast with us." Cutler resided in Cape Elizabeth with his wife, Melanie Stewart Cutler, during his gubernatorial campaigns. They have two adult children. In 2006, Cutler moved to Beijing, where he acquired a collection of Chinese vernacular furniture and antiques. When he moved back to his home in Cape Elizabeth, he integrated the Far East influence with the Maine mystique of the residence. In May 2017, Cutler put his 15,455 square feet (1,435.8 m2) oceanfront home in Cape Elizabeth for sale for $11 million, citing his intention to move to a condominium in nearby Portland and also to look for a place on the water in Maine. At the end of 2020, the home was purchased by Jonathan S. Bush. Y: Cutler was born and raised in a Jewish family in Bangor, Maine, the eldest son of Lawrence and Catherine Cutler.

[Cutler helped create the first of the Thornburg mutual funds at Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. in 1983, served on the board of trustees of the Thornburg Investment Trust for more than 30 years, and is now a member of the board of directors of Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. Eliot is currently focusing on the development of the firm’s asset management portfolio in Asia.] [In addition to his current responsibilities at Thornburg, Eliot is chairman of MaineAsia LLC, a company developing Asian markets for Maine food products, and is a principal investor in ArchSolar, a company developing more efficient solar electric technologies for sustainable year-round agriculture in northern latitudes. Earlier, he was a founder and principal in Maine Seafood Ventures LLC, a company that opened China and other foreign markets to exports of frozen Maine lobsters.][1] In 1990, Cutler purchased property on Shore Road in Cape Elizabeth.

Recent changes

  • There is a new public status page at www.wikimediastatus.net. This site shows five automated high-level metrics where you can see the overall health and performance of our wikis' technical environment. It also contains manually-written updates for widespread incidents, which are written as quickly as the engineers are able to do so while also fixing the actual problem. The site is separated from our production infrastructure and hosted by an external service, so that it can be accessed even if the wikis are briefly unavailable. You can read more about this project.
  • On Wiktionary wikis, the software to play videos and audio files on pages has now changed. The old player has been removed. Some audio players will become wider after this change. The new player has been a beta feature for over four years. [5][6]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 April. It will be on all wikis from 14 April (calendar).
