On 19 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bronfman kidnapping, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a lawyer got his client acquitted of a 1975 kidnapping by accusing the victim of masterminding his own abduction—but in 2020 admitted that he had known it was a lie? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bronfman kidnapping. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Bronfman kidnapping), 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.

Hi Valereee,
I am writing you via mobile application, as unfortunately due to some bug, I am not able to reply to last message(s) on ANI board; Maybe it is better so, as it is extremely hard to follow what has been exchanged and the clutter now is creating the noise.
I have exchanged the mesaages with @Nill_Einne on my talk page, and if you have time to look at the last one, I would be grateful. [[1]]
Regarding the "admin abuse" i have rephrased in reply what I have ment with it Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi, and excluded the abuse of the tools, but it was not brief, and then in the "bottom reply" I have ommited that part and now it turned out even worse.
What I can say is that some of my answers were written in, I can say anger, and everything went south (and Wiki rules say to chill and then to reply)
I can assure you that I am not WP:NOTHERE and WP:RGW, as I have wrote in one sentence "to stop the user" on ANI board in anger. Now I have calmed down, and came to conclusion that any reply written in "retaliation and anger" is only going to make things worse...
What I can say is that I am really sorry about the whole thing.
Thank you for the patience Pixius talk 17:21, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2023).
[p]roposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing. Feedback is being accepted until 24 April 2023.
So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna,
Thebiguglyalien,
Sammi Brie,
Trainsandotherthings,
Lee Vilenski,
Juxlos,
Unexpectedlydian,
SounderBruce,
Kosack,
BennyOnTheLoose and
PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Interested in this one? The chef, Cindy Wolf (listed at User:FloridaArmy/Missing Pieces), is also notable but thought it made more sense to start with the restaurant. I really do not like writing but enjoy hunting for sources. If you have anything started (or want to start) I don't mind doing some digging even if this one doesn't interest you given I bug you at least occasionally anytime I come across drafts about food.

The user by the name of user:Generalrelative, said that my one of my edits was too controversial a claim to be sourced by one of the two main books on the subject (published by Autonomedia), entitled Dreamer of the Day: Francis Parker Yockey and the Postwar Fascist Internationale. Although, the specific claim that Generalrelative chose to delete is no longer of interest to me (because they lack verifiable citations to that claim within the book itself), there are however several claims in the book about how Yockey was possibly involved in a war time Nazi spy operation against America known as Operation Pastorius, because these claims in the books have footnotes to the FBI records (which themselves) have a link on Yockey´s entry, I would look to add and not be told that they are too controversial to publish.

Hey, just wanted to drop a quick thanks for pointing out how we can work to combat gender disparities at DYK. Thanks for explaining your reasoning—in the future I'll make sure to more actively consider how I can help too. Wracking 💬 19:55, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
You don't have The Joy of Cooking 1964 edition handy lol? On another note, I have been ignoring trade publications like Nation's Restaurant News but could they be helpful? S0091 (talk) 18:06, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
I removed the unsourced information that you flagged re: DYK, as I wasn't able to verify it. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:59, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
I found this person's user name probably not acceptable, and their edits very unacceptable. Not sure where to report both but I will snoop. Bruxton (talk) 23:46, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

On 25 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Palmwood shipwreck, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hello, you recently removed an edit [2] that had been previously discussed on the talk page Talk:Murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German#Persons of interest and it had been decided to include him due to his contact with the victim, and he recently plead guilty to his charges (I had noted on the bottom of the talk page before adding the name, to try to prevent edit wars). I didn't know if you had seen that prior to your edit, but I didn't want to undo your edit without talking to you first and opening a dialogue :-)
Awshort (talk) 17:44, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Regarding this comment: as unsolicited advice, of course please feel free to ignore the following. Although I understand the intent of the question (is your statement expressing support or opposition to the proposal), perhaps you might in future considering not using "!vote" in this circumstance? As the programming logic "!" symbol is usually used before the word "vote" to emphasize that expressed opinions are comments engaging in discussion and not votes, it always feels discordant to me when someone asks if a statement is a !vote or comment. Plus since these are discussions, comments other than those expressing support or opposition also play a role in the deliberations by the one determining the outcome. I appreciate, though, that not everyone feels cognitive dissonance over this usage. isaacl (talk) 21:17, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for you comments on the CAN bus, ISO specs, etc. I'm not too concerned, I suppose, and it's certainly a detailed article! David10244 (talk) 06:46, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
I was gonna leave a short message regarding range calculations but my examples aren't working to my satisfaction. I'll get back to you shortly. If you want to explore on your own the gist is here. Tiderolls 15:35, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jessica Nabongo until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2023).
I want to wait until they've either responded to or clearly ignored the discussion at Talk:Adam Hegsted (chef), but I took a look at their other recent AfC actions and am concerned. It doesn't look like UPE (if it's UPE, it's someone trying very hard to hide it), but the edit speed is high and some of the decline rationales used are baffling (particularly Draft:Harvard Library of Early Ukrainian Literature). signed, Rosguill talk 22:42, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
