Theroadislong ( talk) 16:28, 12 July 2021 (UTC)On 31 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2022 Ukraine cyberattack, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a recent cyberattack on Ukrainian websites was disguised as ransomware? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2022 Ukraine cyberattack. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, 2022 Ukraine cyberattack), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Bkissin ( talk) 17:33, 9 February 2022 (UTC)Thanks for uploading File:HackedForeignMinistry.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 03:34, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed you are a major contributor to 2022 Ukraine cyberattacks and thought I'd give you a heads-up: A New York Times article just reported that last Wednesday Microsoft found an attack by a new wiper, named FoxBlade apparently aimed at Ukraine govt. I started a stub on it, could use some help. The article also has some reporting on increased cooperation between Silicon Valley and US military due to Ukraine.

Hello!
You receive this message because you have voted for show nearby or related articles in maps in this year’s Community Wishlist Survey.
I am happy to let you know that soon it will be possible to automatically display nearby articles in a map on Commons and other Wikimedia projects using Kartographer. This feature is one of the improvements to Kartographer the Technical Wishes Team from Wikimedia Germany has been working on. Each Kartographer generated map in full-screen mode is now given a new “Show nearby articles” button at the bottom. It can be used to show and hide up to 50 geographically close articles.
The deployment of this feature is planned for 12 October on a first group of wikis. After the first feedback phase, more wikis will follow. Read more on our project page. Your feedback and comments to our open questions on this feature are very much appreciated on this discussion page. Thank you! -- Timur Vorkul (WMDE) 08:20, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

In regards to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Rollback of Vector 2022 you stated that Although there are some tweaks I would like to see (better line/color use for separation of the UI sections and less whitespace between the TOC and the article) reverting the whole thing is not a solution. If that is our first instinct, there will never be progress. Besides, the proven benefits of shorter lines and the convenience of the sticky TOC are categorically better for most readers out there. How do you feel now, months after the discussion and with certain improvements added?
Before you answer this question, please read my user page to see why I am asking you this question. You do not have to answer this question at all if you wish.

Hello! I noticed during my patrol that you redirect Simatupang to T. B. Simatupang. In my opinion, this is not a good redirect as Simatupang is the name of the clan. While T.B Simatupang might be the most famous of the Simatupang clan, redirecting the clan name to him isn't correct. I am looking for your opinion on this matter, thank you. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 02:06, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi Toadspike, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.
This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:
You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! – Joe ( talk) 11:03, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Some of the articles about Metro stations in Vietnam could probably be improved by adding material from the coresponding articles in the Vietnamese Wikipedia. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 02:06, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
On 1 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Yunxian Man, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the skulls of Yunxian Man (example pictured) are "relatively complete" despite being heavily crushed? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Yunxian Man. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Yunxian Man), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.
