Thanks for editing the pink floyd page!! :) Babysharkboss2 (talk) 19:03, 30 August 2023 (UTC) |
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am not currently blocked, but I often connect to the internet through my VPS. When I do this, I am blocked from editing any page on Wikipedia, including my own talk page. I am soon to go on holiday, when once again all traffic from my computer will be routed through my VPS. I appreciate if this request is not well-timed, but I'm trying to ensure that there will be no block once I am on holiday. I note that in Q4 on WP:BLOCKFAQ, it states that "using an account to edit Wikipedia will allow you to do so even when the IP address or range of your network is blocked". I always login to Wikipedia before performing any edits, so I hope that this statement carries some weight. Many thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 07:59, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
Accept reason:
If you are not affected by a block, please don't make an unblock request. You may use the administrator help request tag or go to WP:AN directly. I think you are asking for an IP block exemption- as a longtime user I will give you a short term one(a month). If you need something longer term, please email the checkuser team(see WP:IPECPROXY). 331dot (talk) 08:38, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, do you remember me? We had a bit of dispute and edit war about me not providing links a while ago. You wrote on my talk page, and I gave you not the kindest of words... I want to apologize for any personal offencives towards you, I had a bad day and wasn't in the best mood of mine. Now I understood I wasn't right. But the topic with my name still remains in Talk Section of 25th December for everyone to see, and I find it a little emarassing and ashaming. I can't remove it, so can I ask you to do that, as you are the one who allowed to as an author. Let's forget that incident without making a clown out of me for the world to see, please.

Hi, I would like to know why my Thomas Calabro post was deleted from the 3 February article? What was the problem with that? I just want to understand that I won't do anything like that next time. Cakesam (talk) 11:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the ((admin help)) template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page. |
I would like to apply for a permanent IP block exemption. As noted above, I recently had a temporary IP block exemption. This trial period was, I believe, conducted successfully. I am now applying for a permanent exemption, for the same reasons, i.e. I am shortly about to go on holiday and will be using my VPS, and Q4 of WP:BLOCKFAQ still applies. Many thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 09:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Almost none of the celeb births on the December 31 page have citations yet I have to add them to new ones that should already be on the page? why don't you go round deleting all of them then? 78.86.134.164 (talk) 20:10, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi there, Kiwipete,
I was wanting to post a name for a recently-celebrated Prime Minister who just inaugurated yesterday, Lawrence Wong. I had my post reverted because of a lack of citation, but what can I do to make it better next time and hopefully, putting said name again without a revert? Thanks. Sculture65 (talk) 13:09, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed this revert and I need clarifications. I understand that I need inline citation for my entry which was my wrong obviously but what you stated after this doesn’t make sense to me. You said that "and there is already an entry in the Births section". I didn’t put that as birth of the person. I wrote that because it is a public holiday in Bangladesh and it is an separate article about how his birthday became the public holiday and how it is observed by the country. I didn’t know that editors can't keep these things in the holiday section because of the existing birthday fact in the related section. For example, the page December 25 has the birth of Muhammad Ali Jinnah in the birth section. His birthday is public holiday in Pakistan so there is a line in the holiday section Quaid-e-Azam's Day which redirected to Jinnah's birthday article. So I don't see any out-of-rule edit (except the inline citation). I believe I need a clarification about it.
Also I also have written the fact again but with an inline citation in March 17 as it is the public holiday and not about the birth of the person (see here). I think it is not enough reason to show for the revert that the birth section already mentions that because the article Birthday of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is about the public holiday. But if there is any problem with the source then please tell me, I will replace that with better source. Mehedi Abedin (talk) 19:50, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi there. You recently reverted my rollback of a user, for example on this edit. That's fine if you wish to reinstate it. However the reason these were all bulk rolled back is that the IP represents a Brazilian LTA who disrupts dates, and especially timezones and individual date articles. It's obviously fine to reinstate them if you think they are valid and wish to take responsibility for them, but this is an LTA who has been IP hopping for years and is effectively banned due to the blocks and disruption over an extended time period. I just thought you should have an explanation. Canterbury Tail talk 12:20, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
