Recent changes
The appearance of talk pages changed for the following wikis: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia, Thai Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Vietnamese Wikipedia. These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design, for one year. As this test
gave positive results, the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is possible to opt-out these changes
in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at all wikis in the coming weeks.

Kartographer maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using mapstyle="osm". This wasn't working in previews, creating the wrong impression that it wasn't supported. This has now been fixed.

The
English Wikipedia is my wikihome. I began formal editing in October 2005, seeking to improve music-related articles. I have observed several
WikiProjects, but participated mostly in
Classical Music and
Film. A large chunk of my early edits came in 2007–08. In 2015–16, I mostly answered
and
move requests, worked on templates and modules, patrolled DISPLAYTITLE and DEFAULTSORT issues, and monitored
editnotices. I've been on an extended wikibreak through 2024.
Articles, files, other contributions
On the
English Wikipedia, I credit myself with creating the following articles. I created some early ones with an old IP of an ISP I formerly used.
I have an
alternate account that I use for public security and for proof-of-concept script testing. I have an inactive
bot account for automated edits and maintenance work. Currently, I do not send semi-automated
AWB edits through this account.

You've contributed much to Wikipedia's technical aspects. I think your work should receive more acknowledgement.
