The article John de la Pole, 2nd Duke of Suffolk you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:John de la Pole, 2nd Duke of Suffolk for comments about the article. Well done! 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.

Nice use of an infobox on that page. Cabayi (talk) 15:20, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
@Cabayi: Ogh yes. See how it contains more than one piece of relevant information? It's pretty radical- actually doing what a IB is meant to do, that is, summarizing information rather than blindly duplicating it. But hey, who dares, wins. Take care! — fortunavelut luna 15:30, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Use of the 'Rollback' feature on the English Wikipedia

Latest victim

Are you the latest victim of the no-ping plague? It seems by your signature that you are, but curious as to if you're becoming the new Materialscientist and disabling them by choice. They're apparently working fine now for me, but curious if they're not working for others. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:46, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

They might be getting better- I've received a couple (although oddly no email notifications), and actually it was a couple of days of no-pings before I a) found out there was a general issue, and b) thought of actually telling people via my sig (in case they thought I was ignoring them). Mat Scientist indeed. I've always thought that was bizarre, especially for an admin, and not particularly in keeping with the responsibilites of communication / accountability that the role demands. IMHO of curse. No need to give an opinion. Cheers, — fortunavelut luna(Currently not receiving (most) pings, sorry) 17:01, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
I haven't been getting any pings, either - wonder what's the problem... GABgab 17:46, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
Me too. No pings, no e-mail notification, not sure why they are taking so long to fix this. Alex ShihTalk 17:47, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
(edit conflict) If you all are interested in partaking in my favourite hobby of being someone who knows nothing about technical stuff complaining to the WMF about technical stuff, you can comment about how annoyed you are at T177825. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:49, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict) came here after seeing FIM's signature. I thought he might have posted about it on his user/talkpage. I mostly dont get pinged, but my pings arent going through either. —usernamekiran(talk) 18:00, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
No everyone, sorry (been rather engaged); the problem is of course that it does't / didn't occur to me to a) post at my talk, or b) make further enquiries at all (D'OH!). I occasionally harass User:Redrose64 at WP:VPT, but I can't do it too often or he will throw beer over me. As for Phab tickets... I'm afraid that looses me completely; I used to think it was people signing up to see a boy band at Wembley Arena or sumfin' :D fortunavelut luna(Currently not receiving (most) pings, sorry) 18:15, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
@TonyBallioni: The voices were heard! Looks like pings are working now. I'll start by harassing FIM :D Alex ShihTalk 23:25, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
They are still broken for me too, so I just tried this now. Thanks for the tip, —PaleoNeonate04:05, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
I just changed a preference, too. Would appreciate if someone could try and ping me to confirm it's fixed. Thanks, GABgab 15:16, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
@GeneralizationsAreBad: Me too- I've been meaning to stop gettng revert notifications for some time anyway :D all OK now? — fortunavelut luna(Currently not receiving (most) pings, sorry) 15:18, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
Yes, thanks - I don't think there's any way to retroactively receive previous pings, sadly. GABgab 15:19, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
Glad to know I'll be able to go through FIM's contributions reverting all of them without him noticing now.[FBDB] TonyBallioni (talk) 15:38, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
It's so hard to not take revert notifications personally, the way they are designed. I have ticked off the box since last month and life has been good (gonna mention User:PaleoNeonate and User:GeneralizationsAreBad just to because 1) I can 2) making sure regular mention is working too). Alex ShihTalk 15:50, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Other than "you have new messages", this is the first notification which worked since a week ago. Thank you very much for the preferences trick and the ping test, —PaleoNeonate16:03, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

That question 8

This is not something I want to bring up at someone's RFA, just wanted to pick your brains on it. Asking someone about off-site organisation seems to me quite relevant for adminship; it the editor was someone who had made a series of pro-gamer edits to GamerGate-related articles, for instance, I think I'd be asking the same question. The candidate would, of course, be free not to answer it.

From there, I struggle to draw a line between when such a question is acceptable and when it is not. In this case it seems there was no particular concern about this editor's off-site activities, but disallowing the question because you expect the answer to be positive towards their RFA seems obtuse. I understand that OUTING is a related concern, but a candidate can either give an answer or say they want to remain anonymous, and there is a significant difference between outing someone and asking them a question that doesn't in itself identify them in any way (though the answer might).

I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, just formulating thoughts and interested to hear yours. GoldenRing (talk) 10:36, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Well it's slightly academic now of course; but thanks for picking me out for special favour. What with not asking any one else  :)fortunavelut luna(Currently not receiving (most) pings, sorry) 13:44, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

About GA reviewing

Hi, FIM. I've finally started to get into the GA reviewing business (perhaps to drift away from DYK). Here's my first GA review ever. I would appreciate if you can criticize it harshly to help me improve, thanks. Alex ShihTalk 08:26, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

@Alex Shih: Thanks  :) The preliminary review looks comprehensive. Actually, I didn't do GA reviews (or any others for that matter)- I have a complete blindspot for copyediting that rather rules me out I'm afraid! Look at one of my articles just after I've finished- full of typos, turgid prose, repetition etc. So I can hardly comment on other editors' work  :( On that note, though- and notwithstanding completely blatant WP:CANVASsing that it is- this review is in need of another pair of eyes, if you fancy it. Thanks for asking though- sorry I can't be of much more help! — fortunavelut luna(Currently not receiving (most) pings, sorry) 13:49, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Problem with editing

Please, I am new to Wikipedia and I am not sure how to reach the admin. I tried to edit an article earlier: the art. on Katerina Kolozova is written by me, in a word format and I have the file to prove it. Please, edit the info stating "autobiography". I am the author, her student, doing doctoral research on one of her books (Riste Aleksovski (talk) 18:46, 21 October 2017 (UTC))

@Riste Aleksovski: Thanks for this- apologies for the slight delay in replying. Still, it seems like the question has been resolved? -I see that someone has changed the tag from 'Autobiography' to 'Conflict of interest,' reflecting the current status quo. Even so, I can only re-emphasise the advice you have been given on the article talk page- not to edit her article personally unless you can absolutely guarantee- to us and yourself- neutrality. This unfortuantely does not seem to have been so far able to have been achieved; but the article has more eyes on it now, which can only be for the best. Take care, and happy editing! — fortunavelut luna 20:27, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Nicholas Exton requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. — Smjg (talk) 15:21, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

It's your lucky day, I declined this and added a stubbed claim of importance; but seriously, you created a completely blank article with a "hang on" tag - I had to take a wild guess at what you wanted to write. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:24, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
It was a new fucking article and it said it was in fucking use. My lucky day? Bollocks. — fortunavelut luna 15:31, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
The article met the letter of WP:CSD#A3 exactly (if not the spirit at all) and a less enlightened and more jobsworth admin might have said "yup, meets the criteria" and deleted it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:40, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

AfD of Chris "Mac Daddy" Smith

Regarding your comment on closing the above AfD... You're right, suggesting a merge and redirect doesn't require an AfD, and I've boldly redirected other articles in the past. The reason I didn't here is because the article had already effectively been recreated following a redirect, and I thought getting some other editors' opinions and getting an "official" redirect in place was the best way to stop a cycle of redirect and recreate. If it was the wrong thing to do, I apologise. Richard3120 (talk) 21:02, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

My Recent Edit to Black Lives Matter

I made a recent edit to the Black Lives Matter article. You deleted it once due to a lack of a reliable source. Then I changed one of the sources from a social media video to an article in a well established newspaper called "The Sacramento Bee". Once again, the edit has been deleted. Are you responsible for the second deletion? If so, could you explain your reason? The message that you left on my talk page is unclear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrCharlesBlack (talkcontribs) 15:29, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

I have no idea what exactly the Bahá'í Faith has to do with the BLM- very little, it seems- but please desist from repeated insertion of that material- otherwise it could be interpreted as a form of spamming. Take care! 18:13, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi onel5969, I do apologise- an accidental rollback I guess- looking at my watchlist from last night, I would guess I intended to click on the WP:MILHIST page instead.

Cheers, — fortunavelut luna 11:50, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi The contributor have launched the first AfD. So, I have added [1] the template.--Panam2014 (talk) 13:34, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

I know. I am going to close it and recommend that you be sanctioned for disrupting the AfD process with your desire to merely make a point. Hello Kudpung and Michig, btw. — fortunavelut luna 13:39, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
The contributor have launched the first speedy deletion, but for that case the AfD is more suitable. So, I have replaced the template by a better. I haven't made a point. I challenge your clausure. --Panam2014 (talk) 14:03, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
I have no idea what you are talking about. Your best strategy is to let other editors show you by example of how things work on the English wikipedia and learn from them. Your recent behaviours indicate you may not have the necessary abilities to edit here without causing yourself more trouble. Many thanks! — fortunavelut luna 14:12, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
I have violated any rule. I haven't comited a POINT. I have only replaced the template by a better because for notability, an AfD is better than a pending deletion without debate (after one week). --Panam2014 (talk) 14:20, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
Thank you, GB fan explained me that. --Panam2014 (talk) 14:29, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
Your closure was procedurally correct of course. When I commented there I actually didn't realise that it had been nominated in my name. However, I think my rationale for the PROD is still valid. What do we do now? Start a proper AfD? Thoughts? (not on notability, but on procedure). Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:39, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
@Kudpung: I agree that your Prod was accurate, and also as grounds for an AfD. It's an interesting question: if your views on its notability haven't altered, the only thing to do (I think) would be another AfD ("contested prod" is a regular thing isn't it?). — fortunavelut luna 14:45, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Using userpage as a personal article

Hello! I wasn’t sure where I should voice this, but I’d seen your name elsewhere regarding a talkpage being used as an article for a fictional group so I thought I’d speak to you. I know user pages are pretty lenient on what you can include, but what about basically creating an article on yourself? I noticed this being done here but I wanted to ask someone more experienced within Wikipedia before mentioning it to the user. Thanks. Alexanderlee (talk) 22:38, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Alexanderlee, thanks :) mind you, I don't really do that thing any more, but appreciate the shout. You're right that leniency is generally given to user pages, but you are equally right that there is plenty of guidance on what we should and should not have on them too. And pages like that are easily construed- as you have- as being personal resumés, and so very much what Wikipedia is Not. Having said all that: an administrator, User:Dlohcierekim, has already tagged the page under the WP:U5 criterion- and almost immediately withdrew it. Which indicates where the situation now stands ;) anyway, thanks for the call, and happy editing! — fortunavelut luna 23:15, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
@Alexanderlee: I tagged that and then reverted myself. It's borderline. Someone could perhaps guide the user. It's just too close to a fake article, but not as blatant as some. Dialogue with the user would be appreciated. Ultimately someone not involved might want to MFD if they think it's the way to go.23:19, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
Ah, thank you both. I didn't realise the article had been tagged and reverted, I should have thought to check the page's history again. Alexanderlee (talk) 23:27, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
I initiated a dialogue. Someone less awkward mind want to help them if I've been unclear. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 23:35, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 No probs Alexanderlee. As it happens I agree with Dlohcierekim in this case anyway- my first thought was that it was his CV- but then, mind, that if it wasn't for one small sentence ("known on Wikipedia as," etc.) it could've just been a third-party, slightly spammy-yet-not-quite-WP:G11 piece of mild WP:FANCRUFT. That's exactly why I couldn't do Dlohcierekim' s job here- my completely uncritical- In fact a supremely uncritical mindset! Anyway, night, all. — fortunavelut luna 23:40, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I'm not sure about the policies surrounding good articles but I'm a newcomer to Women in Red and would like to help improve Dolly Rudeman. I noticed you nominated it, does that prevent me from editing it in the meantime? Kind regards, Janet-O (talk) 13:05, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello Janet-O! No, of course not, fire away! Any help to improve the article (as long as it does improve the article, of course!) is very welcome. Have read our stuff about original research, neutrality, and using reliable sources yet? They're just a couple of things that people are likely to mention at some point- they're considered pretty fundamental to our article writing.

Possible typo

I notice that in a recent edit to Robert de Umfraville, you added a quote sourced to A. Rose's Kings in the North, including "...free reign to tear south-eastern Scotland savagely apart..." If you've got the source available, could I ask you to check whether Rose actually spelled it "free reign" instead of the more correct "free rein"? I tried to check it online, but there's no preview in Google Books. If this is actually the way that Rose spelled it, we might want to include a "[sic]", just to make it clear that it's not an error by a Wikipedia editor. Thanks! Ammodramus (talk) 04:57, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

@Ammodramus: "A recent edit." You mean, turning this to this? :p Still, you were dead right about the typo- I've corrected that, and thanks v much! Well spotted! Take care, — fortunavelut luna 06:56, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

@185.56.193.107: a) Not a [WP:RS|relianle source]], b) it completely naused up the formatting, having two ~identical infoboxes on the page, c) the IB is intended to summarize information repsented in the article, not introduce new material.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article The 'Wonderful Parliament' (1386) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Tim riley -- Tim riley (talk) 20:41, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Hey FIM. I corrected an odd reference problem. Please check that the correct references are used for for instance the wardship of a number of manors in Kent. — JJMC89(T·C) 04:07, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

The article The 'Wonderful Parliament' (1386) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:The 'Wonderful Parliament' (1386) for things which need to be addressed.

Isn't this outright speediable under U5 and/or G11? Regards:)Winged Blades Godric 13:53, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

...is an opinion to which you are entitled. But I am drifting slowly closer to the view that we shouldn't do things because we can, but because we should  :) and I am taking a far less aggressive, but more exact, attitude towards particularly U5 which is very misunderstood- even by administrators, often enough. So in such cases, put the responsibility onto the community. Incidentally, the fact that you slapped a speedy on the page prior to asking your question here indicates you thought you already knew the answer; in which case, I might question the necessity in asking it. Take care, — fortunavelut lunaRarely receiving (many) pings. Bizarre. 14:12, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
Hmm...On a side-note, the page was open for about an hour on my browser tab.And, when I executed the speedy, Twinkle neither threw up some sort of edit-conflict nor displayed the standard warning it displays, when an XfD-ed page is speedied.Winged Blades Godric 14:25, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Yeah...CSD sort-of always depends upon the deciding-sysop except in very clear-cut cases.And, I see Sphilbrick has speedied the page under question.
@Fortuna:--But, as a query, in your opinion, does an MFD lead to an increase in positive-editor-retention etc. than an speedy, when both will undoubtably have the same effect/outcome?Or a more user-friendly approach will be to blank/amend the user-page and put a note at their talk-page.Obviously, if they revert, deletion remains an option.Winged Blades Godric 14:36, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Notes

Give me a couple of days and I'll do the honours, although I'll treat it as a de facto FA review so will probably be more nitpicky than you want. On an ultra-quick skim, two notable absences are anything from MoLAS in the bibliography, which for any medieval London article is an instant red flag for me that "thorough and representative" hasn't been met (MoLAS books are invariably dull as ditchwater, but when it comes to London between the Roman conquest and c. 1600 they're the undisputed authority), and the absence of any kind of legacy section (and in particular the absence of the name "Whittington"). Also, the ODNB entry seems to be cited an awful lot—ODNB does qualify as a RS in Wikipedia terms but it's riddled with errors and should generally only be a last resort when an alternative source genuinely doesn't exist. ‑ Iridescent 13:33, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
I think GA will max me out, but go ahead. I also agree re. ODNB, and the 'legacy' section; tbh I don't think the feller could ever meet FA standards of breadth. Although it would be nice to be wrong of course. Cheers, — fortunavelut luna 14:01, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
You can get incredibly niche topics through FAC—the important thing is that you don't omit anything that ought to be included, make it as interesting as it's reasonably possibly to make it, and communicate to someone who's unfamiliar with the topic why it's significant within that niche. ‑ Iridescent 23:39, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
@Iridescent: Nice selection! I saw your comments at the peer review, much appreciated- I want to get on with them ASAP, but I've just gone and started something else, before even finishing off one I made earlier.

You have moved my article on Bellamkonda Ramaraya Kavi from article status to draft and no reasons were cited. You have also pasted the speedy deletion notice on this page without prior information to me. I have contested the decision under wiki policy as given in the speedy deletion notice and even sent messages on talk pages declining the speedy deletion notices. The article is written for international readers and scholars interested in Indian Sanskrit Scholars and Yogis. It was written by me as a contributor after laborious travel and collecting data, besides interviewing many scholars connected with him. If you wish to edit it for any addition or deletion you can do so even if it is in article status. But, you moved it draft status and kept it so. Please respond quickly explaining your actions to me as contributor. How long you propose to keep it in draft status? If you do not respond quickly I will move the draft back to article status and delete if any notices of deletion or others still on the edit page. I am a media professor who fully realizes the potential of wikipedia as a resource in research. I am writing all the pieces since one year in good faith but if I have violated any wiki policy it was not with any bad intention. I am still acquainting myself with enormous wiki policy guidelines and procedures. If you notice any shortfall, kindly be helpful but do not be disruptive and damaging the contributor's efforts which are purely voluntary for the enrichment of wikipedia. A quick response is highly appreciated. Move the draft back to article status immediately.CSHN Murthy (talk) 05:29, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Sir John Minsterworth

On 10 December 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sir John Minsterworth, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Sir John Minsterworth, who joined the French army during the Hundred Years' War, was later returned to England and hanged, drawn and quartered in 1375 for "wilful support" of the enemy? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sir John Minsterworth. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Sir John Minsterworth), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Benefits of signing up

Hi 54129, if I may be so familar. Elsewhere you said "fancy registering an account btw? V easy, and lots of benefits!". Thanks for the suggestion. I think it's incredible and marvelous the openness that Wikipedia is able to maintain with no prior restraint on editing whatsoever, and in my own tiny actions I'm hoping to keep it that way: not all guest edits are spam. (No doubt you'll have seen already I do mostly small edits, and the occasional larger one, and hope you'll agree they are all improvements, plus or minus the odd difference in view.) For me it just looks like another password to remember, account to protect and so on. What do you see as the best of the benefits? Kind regards, Jonathan. 82.69.229.22 (talk) 15:12, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

There are quite a few benefits to creating an account. The most obvious are that it means you're not at risk of being blocked on account of the actions someone else takes using the same IP address, and that your edits are attributable so if you ever need to point to a list of everything you've done (e.g. to demonstrate that you know what you're talking about with regards to a specific subject) you can do so—pointing at a list of IP contributions is relatively meaningless as we've no way of knowing who was allocated that IP address at any given time. It also allows you to edit pages which have been semi-protected due to vandalism, allows other editors to communicate with you (while IPs do have talkpages, most editors are reluctant to hold discussions on them as you don't know who's actually receiving the messages), and allows you to create a watchlist of articles you wish to monitor for changes automatically without having to look at each history individually. It also allows you to upload images to Wikipedia and Commons, which is something one never thinks one will need until the time you actually need it. There's also the side-effect that people are more likely to take anything you have to say seriously. Whether the geolocation is right or not—and outside the US, it's wrong more often than it's right—anyone looking to see who they're talking to will in your case see (at the time of writing) Ashfield Valley Primary School in Rochdale, and will likely treat you accordingly. On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog is a core principle of Wikipedia, but it also means the onus is on anyone not wanting to be deemed a potential dog to demonstrate as such. ‑ Iridescent 16:24, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
The difference is basically you don't get treated like a second-class citizen! I occasionally edit logged out when I'm in a public place (such as the local library) and don't feel like sticking my login details on a machine anyone else can access, and do exactly the same editing as I would normally do, except without edit summaries. I've been reverted for disruptive editing more than a few times, even though anyone reverting the addition of a source with the {{harv}} parameter and citing shortened footnotes using {{sfn}} ([6]) had better make their explanation ..... phenominally good.

Ritchie333 for me has hit the nail on the head - IPs get treated like crap, Registered accounts get treated like human beings.
With an account you integrate into the community more easily and the more editors see your name and see your edits are fine the more you'll become trusted here, IPs on the other other hand not so much - IPs don't exactly have a great track record here so if you want to be a part of the community and want to be treat like a human being and not shit on someones shoe (regardless of what edits you make) then sign up :), –Davey2010Talk 12:04, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for very interesting comments. I'm not sure that the prejudice of others is a good reason, and I have always balked against argumentum ad verecundiam. Richie's experiment was very interesting (which I might try with/without edit summaries), and I found myself wanting to edit some semiprotected page, and so nonetheless I thought I should try it signed up. I found myself in a mire of trying to find a suitable username as all the ones I tried are taken, often by ephemeral editors, renamed accounts, and people who uploaded one image to the commons which has been deleted, and so on. User namespace clash appears to have been exacerbated by the single-ID across projects, and policy appears to be stacked against reusing names. There are quite a few places where Wikipedia can be very unwelcoming, and this is one of them -- I speak as a a very enthusiastic supporter of Wikipedia: I really do wish it was easier to get on board satisfactorily. Doubtless I'll find some half-acceptable name. Kind regards, Jonathan. 82.69.229.22 (talk) 17:26, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Query

In your comment here, are you talking to me or to SchroCat? If the former, which "aimless threats" are you talking about? --John (talk) 22:38, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Your good self, of course John; perhaps it is unintentional, and perhaps I misread, but remarks such as "here rather than there", "you know where to find AN/I", etc. Slightly overbearing rather than uncivil perhaps. Although I note that everything seems to have settled down now, which is nice. >SerialNumber54129...speculates 18:44, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
In spite of your attempts to stir things up, you mean? Neither of these is aimless, and neither is a threat, but as they say, thanks for playing. --John (talk) 21:12, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
No, in spite of your attempts to troll me would be more accurate. Your position is generally useless, and your exposure worse. Naturally. But as you say, thanks for playing. I advise against playing games. Otherwise, all good fun. 21:20, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
I'm not playing, and I'm not the one telling lies here, that was you. But I know a troll when I see one, so I'll leave you to it. Personally I can't see what folks get out of this game, but I suppose it takes all sorts. --John (talk) 21:24, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Who are you calling a "troll", John? Seriously, I think you need to take a break for a while. I hate to see a good editor burn themselves out. CassiantoTalk 21:32, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Oh, John, calling other editors trolls and liars? That's certainly - unfortunate. >SerialNumber54129...speculates 07:21, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Your comments on my talkpage about AfC

I have been dealing with some pressing real-life issues recently that means reduced activity on Wikipedia. I have every intention of replying to the comments as soon as possible, but I need the time for it. I hope you can understand. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 22:10, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

@Kiteinthewind: I'm very sorry to hear that; but AfC is a relatively high-profile area of the project, being in many cases the only interface new editors have with those of experience, and it is vital that they are fully and clearly informed at every step of the procedure as to what is hapening to "their" article. The point about the G13 is that it gave completely the wrong impression- unintentionally no doubt- and not only was the relevance of mentioning it unclear, but it muddies the waters as to your meaning. On your second point- "replying to the comments as soon as possible"- I have to apologise for suggesting on your talk that you had made "less than twenty" replies to others on that page; it's actually ([7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]) six times since 2009. Which is rather a lot of catching up to do  :) Look, I don't want us to lose that other editor, but not you either. I see you've begun commenting on your talk. Nice one! I mean, no-one's suggesting it need be the Gettysburg address; just pro-actively addressing concerns from those who can hardly yet be expected to understand the system. Take care! >SerialNumber54129...speculates 07:19, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
↑↑Wotever↑↑ he said:) On a side-note, AFC is very hard to participate, if you are going off for long wiki-times.Spontaneous discussion with submitter(s) is an integral part of the project.Sort of AFCACCT.Winged BladesGodric
WP:AFCACCT- v good, perhaps it will turn blue... Hasten The Day  :) But it's a fair point that, although we're volunteers here, when we volunteer, we do take on certain responsibilities, one of which must be to allow ourselves enough time to undertake our editing reponsibilities in line with policy. As WBoG more or less sez. >SerialNumber54129...speculates 14:00, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Oh and by the way, this whole shabang kick-started this, so there may be a silver lining, in terms of a policy shift. >SerialNumber54129...speculates 14:40, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
I understand, and I will make sure that communcations be done faster in the future. However, I must protest, in the strongest tone, to some of the comments being made against me. Some have even called for my banning. I have already declared that should the situation not calm down in a reasonable amount of time (24 hours is my limit, and I think it's not unreasonable), I will ask for a third-party Wikipedia sysop to intervene, even if this means going to Arbcom. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 21:32, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
I'm not sure, Kiteinthewind, that if I were in your position I would be making threats (and / or such promises); but of course you must do as you see fit. I have no idea to whom you are referring regarding bans (I assume you mean blocks? if I can give a word of advice- before advancing to ANI, the arbcom, etc., it might be worth considering that everyone's behaviour is under scrutiny there, and you can hardly- even if you wish to- reply to the unanswered messages on your talk page that go back, what, eight years? Look: forget about third-party admins (I'm not sure what they are; there has been no WP:INVOLVED admin intervention as yet). Although a discussion is taking place as to the general nature of communication within the AfC process, of which this particular episode may have been a part, it is not aimed at you personally (or even generally). No-one want you blocked, banned or generally buggered about; they just want a wiki-process to run as smooth as possible. No more, no less. I'm saying this in the same spirit as I said above, that I didn't want to lose you or anyone else as an editor. Perhaps I could have been more personal (sorry, I try and avoid that!) and further said, particularly one of your excellent tenure. Anyway; feel free to consider, or not, these remarks. Take care, >SerialNumber54129...speculates 21:49, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
I would perhaps be a bit more amenable to the request if I didn't discover this. No one alerted me to Godric's threat of removing me from the project, and certainly not Godric himself. I had to find this via this talkpage, which I found through another page. Certainly, if the issue is communication here, then others have failed, miserably, as miserably as I have. I am not putting myself up to be a saint here. I have erred, and I am promising to be better, but this affair has become a rather backdoor affair now, hasn't it. I will consider perhaps amending that declaration a bit, but I would need some goodwill to actually form, because we have a lot of ABFs floating about currently. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 21:58, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
As I said, you must take the path your feet walk. No hard feelings. Cheers! >SerialNumber54129...speculates 22:14, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Sorry for earlier. It was not my intention either of appearing cross. Either way, I just want the situation to end, and we can all move forward, but what Godric said is really, really hurtful to be brutally honest. He basically called for me to be banned without due process (or at least, that's how it came across to me). Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 23:02, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Robert de Umfraville

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Robert de Umfraville you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

COI template

You don't give a source for your quote in this edit summary, but it is not in the template documentation; which conversely says "This tag may be removed by editors who do not have a conflict of interest... if the problem is not explained on the article's talk page".

The documentation also says (emphasis as in original): if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article. This has still not been done. Please therefore remove the template you re-added. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:47, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Please do not edit-war. None of the "documentation" you cite provides you with an exemption under WP:NOT3RR. And, while we're at it, what the **** is going on at Stage works by Franz Schubert??? You are behaving like a noob, not a seasoned editor with ~fourteen years tenure. For what it's worth, I considered everyone's behaviour on that page unsatisfactory. >SerialNumber54129...speculates 13:52, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
Oddly, you have completely disregarded everything I said in my post, above. Please now remove the template, according to the guidelines in its documentation, which I quoted. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:08, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
I assure you it's not odd at all. Now, please return to ANI and continue this discussion there and cease your attempted obfuscations. >SerialNumber54129...speculates 14:10, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Serial Number 54129, this is a final call to respond to the issues raised on your DYK nomination; a prior notice was archived without comment and without addressing the "Citation needed" templates in the article. It would be a great shame if the article did not run at DYK, but we need to hear back from you there if the nomination is to remain open. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:15, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

I am going through each individual reference in turn, which as you can imagine may take some time; at least one of those cn tags is for a section which requires substantial augmentation, which may take some small time.

From Stave one of Dickens A Christmas Carol

Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail. Mind! I don’t mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country’s done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

ANI notice: improper COI tagging

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Improper_COI_tagging. The discussion is about the topic Language Creation Society.

@Saizai: I can't see that honestly coming to anything there: all things being equal, it's effectively a content dispute. Still. >SerialNumber54129...speculates 19:00, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
@Serial Number 54129: I think it's bad faith to put a COI flag when there isn't actually a question of neutrality violation. I requested justification on the talk page, with no response. Per the prior WP:ANI thread it's possible Mendaliv was blocked from editing it? I wouldn't know. As for venue, I don't know that either; I don't do wiki-admin stuff. Feel free to move it to WP:COIN if you think that's better. Sai ¿? 19:05, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

This isn't the first time I've seen this kind of behavior - maybe a year ago there was a series of accounts that created profoundly non-notable articles on housing developments in Florida (or hijacked existing ones) and then complained loudly when challenged.
