If you think that using people who push far right conspiracy theories and LITERALLY ARGUE IN PUBLIC FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING are "neutral" sources, then I have absolutely nothing to say to you beyond urging you to become acquainted with the English language so you can learn what "neutral" means. Unless, of course, you are simply so far right that a man who says Israel should expel and/or kill all Arabs is "moderate" to you, and therefore acceptable.

It is extremely disruptive to undo edits that you haven't even bothered to look at. An account three months old that does nothing but revert and warn people and doesn't bother to read the edits it is reverting looks like someone who is not here to build an encyclopaedia. 94.119.32.5 ( talk) 07:33, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I just wanted to be the one to tell you that I undid your reversion on the Canadian Pacific Railway. You undid a revision that I found to be faithful to the original source. However, I will add attribution ("According to...") to the source. Please let me know if you have any objections. RetroCosmos ( talk) 06:02, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with the GOCE. Although some drive participants omit commas from their leaderboard totals (for reasons I don't understand), I – and others – use them. All the best, Mini apolis 21:49, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the reinforcements! While I didn't enjoy being chased to my talk page (and I'm sure you didn't enjoy the surprise ping), hopefully they'll end up contributing more constructively in the future.

Hi, you recently reverted the addition of categories on Reneé Rapp due to suspected vandalism. There is an extension discussion on her talk page around her recent announcements regarding her sexuality; after reviewing WP:BLP and Perennial websites, I updated Rapp's page (with sources) to reflect her identity as a lesbian, so I think the adjustment of categories done by User:Redandsymmetry were justified and not vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bklibcat67 ( talk • contribs) 20:32, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi,
I saw you recently reverted vandalism on this TV show "and then there were none" article? I just tried to go there from the article on Toby Stephens out of curiosity and saw nothing but a page redirect someone (with an existing vandalism warning as the sole post on their talk page...) put in a few hours ago without discussion first. I vaguely recall that being a big no-no. I thought looking at the series' page history you were maybe the person to notify about the unilateral page move?
Aside from the random copy edit once or twice a year I don't engage much, so this isn't something I can really address if it is an issue. Have a good evening, or day, or whatever it is for you! Goddale120 ( talk) 03:43, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima ( submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges ( Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs), Epicgenius ( talk · contribs), and Frostly ( talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV ( submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

That wasn't a test edit (did you read the following dummy edit comment?). The MediaWiki parser gets confused when newlines are inserted or removed adjacent to space changes in lists. It's not easy to prove, so I won't revert you wholesale, though I might add whitespace to get the citations to wrap in the edit window or something like that. I mostly expand and format reference metadata, which I intend to do with that article. 73.37.211.177 ( talk) 01:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello @ That Tired Tarantula,
I appretiate your response on the talk page for Naenae SC. While you're right that the article does come off as promotional, I think that it would be reasonable to allow me to adjust the article providing more informational facts about this football club instead of promotional aspects.
Appreciatively,
