Hi there. You are obviously not a new editor to Wikipedia. Can you please declare what your main account is? -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 00:50, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
If I revert again, I will be on a 3RR vio. So it would be better if you would do it please? -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 12:50, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
I see we both did the same RPP. I got in first but I see no reason why you can't add your remarks to support my request? -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 17:53, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

On 20 July 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Password Game, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the creator of The Password Game was unsure whether winning the game was possible before releasing it? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Password Game. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, The Password Game), 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.

Do you intend to bring it to GA? - Cukie Gherkin ( talk) 04:12, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
@
Cukie Gherkin: Your copyedits have been very helpful, thank you. Mind if I nominate it tomorrow (in 12 hours or so)?
There's an ongoing GAN Backlog Drive until the end of this month and many people are currently reviewing nominations, so it could be a good idea to nominate it before September. I'll be reading the nomination instructions today before sleeping.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article The Password Game 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 ChristieBot, on behalf of Kung Fu Man -- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 15:42, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
The article The Password Game you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:The Password Game for comments about the article, and Talk:The Password Game/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

––– GMH Melbourne ( talk) 08:15, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Hi ObserveOwl, I am currently working on improving San Andreas with the goal of nominating it for GA sometime this month. I see you are the biggest contributor, so I wanted to ask you whether you had any objection, or if you had anything you wanted to add to the article. Thanks!

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.
