Hello. It's been a bit more than a year since I threw my toys out of the pram for this article. I hope you forgive me - I was going through a pretty hard time in the background aside from being sensitive in general, which made me a bit overly aggressive and protective of what I deemed my property. I think I'm ready, after a recent return to WP, to take the article to GAN with your blessing. Roniius ( talk) 02:49, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Sasaki Tōichi 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 Zawed -- Zawed ( talk) 06:21, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Sasaki Tōichi at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! SL93 ( talk) 21:28, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
I was just wondering in light of this most recent review, what your thoughts were on rule H7 found in DYK's guidelines: Wikipedia:Did you know/Onepage? Unfortunately "hookiness" is a rather subjective concept left up to the interpretation of individual reviewers. It seems to me that this is where this conflict centers. It might be helpful to hear how you think reviewers should engage with this criteria. Perhaps we need some better clarification on how to tackle this criteria within the review process as a community. It occurs to me that the reviewing guide doesn't give much guidance on this point, and maybe some updated language within the review guide itself in order. Best. 4meter4 ( talk) 05:37, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
On 22 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sasaki Tōichi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that China expert Sasaki Tōichi was chastised for referring to Sun Yat-sen with the honorific sensei? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sasaki Tōichi. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Sasaki Tōichi), 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at Talk:2014 Ukrainian revolution#Requested move 25 June 2021. Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! Thank you very much! —— Serial 13:30, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
intent on causing trouble, and that they should be punished, is still—regardless of tenure—very much a WP:ASPERSION and an assumption of bad faith. All of which you'll know already, of course, because you've been here so long... —— Serial 13:43, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello RGloucester. Thank you very much for your comments, I am very sorry to hear that my contributions were not considered constructive, at no time did I try to undermine the integrity of the articles, nor is it my objective to change the Americas to America. My intention with the editions is: 1 to show both options exist and that both are valid, the most common being the plural form, 2 to show the option that “American” is primarily a citizen of the United States of America, in the language English and later an inhabitant of “The Americas” or “America”. This with the aim of showing different points of view (giving priority to the most common option) but avoiding presenting each one of them as the "truth". In each edition I tried to describe the edition I did and also attach hyperlinks showing the reference or reliable source that I was using, to give a justification to the edition, all of them being in English.
Merriam-webster Collins Dictionary Dictionary Cambridge Britannica Oxford Learners Dictionaries The Library of Congress (USA) Worlddata Info
Were these sources deemed unreliable? if that's the case, do you know why?
The observation made to me was “Continually changing 'Americas' to 'America' without consensus […]” Do you know how I can achieve that consensus (using both options)? Or do you know who / whom should I present the information to to achieve it?
I am fully available to present the information correctly so that my contributions are considered constructive.
Thank you very much and I am waiting for your answer.
Felipe Randolfo ( talk) 02:25, 8 July 2021 (UTC)Felipe Randolfo
Thank you very much for answering most of my questions, sorry I don't know if you had the opportunity to read or review the links I provided but none of them are in Spanish, all of them are links to encyclopedias or articles in English: • Merriam-webster • Collins Dictionary • Cambridge Dictionary • Britannica • Oxford Learners Dictionaries • The Library of Congress (USA) • Worlddata Info In each one of them it is shown that both options are valid for each one, the first being the most common: America (USA / Americas), American (USA / Americas), since these reliable sources show that both options are valid. Is it not possible that Wikipedia also accepts it? If what is sought in Wikipedia is to comply with the pillar of the "neutral point of view" All articles must adhere to NPOV, fairly representing all the views of the majority and significant minority.
Thank you very much and I am waiting for your answer.
Felipe Randolfo ( talk) 07:16, 9 July 2021 (UTC) Felipe Randolfo
The situation is: I do not want to change one thing for another, that would be totally incorrect, I mean that in the case of the continent both options can be shown, and in the case of the "demonym" it can be used for other things that are not exclusively related to USA putting as an example articles / topics already existing in wikipedia:
• Organization of American States, • American Convention on Human Rights, • American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, • Organization of Ibero-American States, • American Mediterranean Sea
I would also like to comment that although most of my references are from dictionaries, this is not the case with "Britannica" which is also an encyclopedia, "The Library of Congress" which is a library and "World data info" which is a database, these 3 reliable sources without problem show that both cases are acceptable and therefore do not belong to a minority or something unacceptable that seeks to legitimize.
And apart from you being an English-speaking person, I would also like to have the opportunity to review the reliable sources that you are using as support for your argument to have a better understanding of what you are commenting on.
Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to your response.

Continuing our discussion on Talk:Revolution of Dignity. I want to rewrite the article 2014 Ukrainian revolution, because I agree with you that the broader scope is more appropriate. Revolution of Dignity took place from November 2013 till February 2014 and not only in February. Can you help me with this? I have already a list of RS for this, but probably you have more. And also English is not my native language. The article should not become fork of the article about Euromaidan movement, but focus on the revolution itself. And after the article is rewritten in the new broader scope, then of course we can rename it back to Revolution of Dignity or to 2013-2014 Ukrainian revolution whatever is dominated in the RS.

The 2021 re-examination of RFA has been completed. 23 (plus 2 variants) ideas were proposed. Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.
The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?Special thanks to xaosflux for help with implementation.
The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:

Re [1], any misrepresentation on my part was due to operator error and was unintentional. VQuakr ( talk) 21:28, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello. You reverted a change because "Sorry, this is chronologically inaccurate. Crimea happened before Donbas, and Russian troops were already present on Ukrainian soil long before the DPR was proclaimed!". The issue is that I never mentioned Crimea, nor did the passage I was editing, and never implied anything about Crimea. Russian troops may have been present on Ukrainian soil, but according to Russia were either not their people or there of their own volition. In either case, all I said was that Russian military forces were ordered in, which is true. I think your reversion of my edit should itself be reverted. Vrrtigo ( talk) 04:36, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, RGloucester! I am asking you as an experienced editor in this topic. Why are there different disambiguation pages Ukrainian crisis, Russo-Ukrainian crisis (disambiguation) and Ukrainian political crisis? Do I understand correctly that for each term we needs to create a separate disambiguation page and not to rely on the output of the wikipedia search engine? And why Ukrainian crisis and Ukrainian political crisis does not have the (disambiguation) qualifier in the title, but Russo-Ukrainian crisis (disambiguation) has? Sorry for maybe stupid questions, I do not fully understand why it is done this way and not otherwise. -- Olchug ( talk) 15:28, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, RGloucester! I noticed you have undone my edit where I shifted the alternative names of the war from a footnote to the first line, citing the policy WP:LEADALT. However, this only mentions considering usage of a footnote in the event of foreign names, so I cannot understand your disagreement with my edit. Could you please explain your reasoning? Thank you! LongLivePortugal ( talk) 18:59, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
I realize you've been working on Ukraine for a while, so seriously: where else were there pro-Russian protests besides Donbas and Crimea? If the statement is accurate I don't care about the cite. Your point about the lede is well taken and thank you for enforcing it. I assumed, based on stuff that is probably irrelevant in this context. I still think it's kind of synth, but my real concern is whether it is accurate, and if it is I don't care enough to argue about synth. So ok, you probably do know better than I, but when you get a chance could you please share an example or two to reassure me about that? Thanks Elinruby ( talk) 15:49, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
