Could you explain why you have deleted my comments on the Magdalen Berns discussion please? Boynamedsue (talk) 12:16, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
I'll ask here, so that the RfA can stay on-topic: Which Twitter comment? Same as elsewhere, I talk too much on Twitter, and spent all of yesterday telling off LTAs, so forgive me if I forget what comment you're referencing lol.

Hi Serial Number 54129, Following Girth Summit's removal of essentially half the Henley Business School page I thought it was important to restore and update the reputation section. The content provided was sourced and came from searching the rankings and achievements of the college like from the Economist. I have been watching the page with all the changes going on and so wanted to update it when users are making unsourced edits or just removing sections. I had written it in an unbiased way so I don't agree with you saying it appears to be promotional. As I mentioned, with all the edits and deletions going on I wanted to restore some of it and help as the page now looks a bit naff compared to previously. Teeside42 (talk) 12:20, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey, SN. Listen, SchroCat has pinged me to a complaint (here) about you. As noted in my response there, I'm not sure that you knew it was him, but just in case, here is some context. On Sept 2020, SchroCat scrambled his password thereby abandoning his registered account (irrevocably). A few months later, he returned to editing as an IP (floating), mostlyish uneventfully. His departure from the SchroCat account was not done under a cloud and he was/is not subject to any standing sanctions (that I know of). Hoping to resolve this with minimum friction. Best regards, El_C 10:11, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
The third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:
In round three, contestants achieved 19 featured articles, 7 featured lists, 106 featured article reviews, 72 good articles, 1 good topic, 62 good article reviews, 165 DYKs and 96 ITN items. We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 17 August, 2021. Please check that the article needs no amendments. A coordinator will draft a blurb - based on your draft if the TFA came via TFA requests, or from an existing blurb on the FAC talk page if one has been posted. Feel free to comment on this. We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks and congratulations on your work. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:44, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
Thank you today for the article, introduced: "Presenting, "Murder of a Watermelon",(©Drmies) also known as "The Cook, the Chamberlain, the Wife and her Lover", a medieval murder mystery that Christie would be pleased with. In this case, almost literally, the butler did do it. / Although it's amusing to joke about it 600 years later, it's a bit of a sordid story really—as I suppose, actually, it would be today. On a lighter note, this received a thorough GA review recently from the Lady Ealdgyth, of this parish, so as they say, any remaining errors are my own. Looking forward to straightforward comments and criticism: although a relatively short article, some of the legal machinery seems may seem byzantine, so a non-expert opinion would be welcome."! When I saw you wrote it I was reminded of bringing back the image 'missing'. - More of my images - no watermelon yet this summer, more mushrooms and other works of cooks - when you click on the songs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:54, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

The file File:A possible consequence of biting.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
unused Wikipedia-specific image
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated files))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated files))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Ixfd64 (talk) 20:36, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Why should I assume people are acting in good faith when nothing about their actions indicates that they are? Suttonpubcrawl (talk) 15:26, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi, it seems we have a bit of disagreement over this. I tend to remove such newsletters - and unsubscribe the users - as since they are retired, the talkpage is presumably not going to be read by them. Instead, it exists to serve the general editing community - and following that, newsletters are irrelevant to most people (and those who wish to receive them should subscribe themselves). TPO isn't really relevant as these aren't comments left by an actual person. It's a bot message, if people really care, it's available in the page history. Elli (talk | contribs) 12:41, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
tend[ing] to remove such newslettersin line with WP:NOBAN. This certainly includes creating archive pages which you then redirect ([3], [4]) to your own user space—what in Sam Hill?! ——Serial 13:02, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
you then redirect ([1], [2]) to your own user space—what in Sam Hill?!you don't need to diff me here lol, I thought I explained that. I assumed that an archive existed and would prefer to archive instead of blank. Upon seeing there wasn't an archive that already existed, I decided not to keep the one I had just created. I could've just as easily tagged for G7 instead of moving to my userspace with the exact same effect (except confusing you, apparently).
keep their pages how they left them and assume nothing but good faiththeir talkpage didn't have the message on it when they retired, did it? And I did assume good faith - that they were honest and genuine about their retirement. Elli (talk | contribs) 13:28, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
...keep[ing] their pages how they left themclearly implies "receiving such newsletters, etc., as they personally signed up for". And that you're removing things from another user's page because because they get in your way is bizarre and inappropriate. In any case, I think we're done here: you've provided no policy or guideline that allows you to edit other user's talk pages, so if you wish to contest my edits, I suggest you file at the appropriate notice board. Best, ——Serial 13:34, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
... you told me you may be able to find more sources on Nepal for me. I was wondering if the offer still stood. And, of course, posting this here, in case your TPWs have something.
In general, any sources on Nepal-related topics would do. We've only got History of Nepal (not in an ideal shape) and I'm planning to build sub-articles we ought to have. Specifically, right now, I wish I had a more or less current source on Name of Nepal. I have a tertiary source from 1983 which gives me an idea of what the situation was back then, and what's due and what's not. I have a hunch that no progress has been made toward identifying the etymology of Nepal since then, but if I had a recent source on the topic that said no new thing, I could be sure that the article is complete, and rewrite it with that in mind, and publish it.

The WikiCup is over for another year and the finalists can relax! Our Champion this year is The Rambling Man (submissions), who amassed over 5000 points in the final round, achieving 8 featured articles and almost 500 reviews. It was a very competitive round; seven of the finalists achieved over 1000 points in the round (enough to win the 2019 contest), and three scored over 3000 (enough to win the 2020 event). Our 2021 finalists and their scores were:
All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
If you have views on whether the rules or scoring need adjustment for next year's contest, please comment on the WikiCup talk page. Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2022 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

I also gave reason repeatedly that the subject talks about a particular region, thus implying capitalization as proper name. There are also a lot of regions in Ethiopia that take capitlized name. The miniscule region is not retained to Oromia region as the subject talks the particular region name in Ethiopia. I also agreed to replace with Oromia (region) if neither Region nor region are compatible with naming convention. The Supermind (talk) 14:32, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi SN - hope you are well and a happy new year. Per your propsal at ANI, which was enforced, you stated in your opening line "perhaps 500 words? —which is the minimum accepted at WP:DYK so has a precedent". I've had a quick look at WP:DYK, and it doesn't mention 500 words anywhere, but 1,500 characters (WP:DYKCRIT, point 2). Do you have any objections on my restriction being changed to match the DYK standard that you initially suggested? I doubt some of my better articles(!) would pass the 500 word limit, such as this, this and this, but they'd pass the DYK requirements (on length). Happy to discuss.
Also @Spartaz: as the closer of that thread.
Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:50, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2022 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor you should be able to advance to at least the second round, improving your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page.

Thanks. I've blocked the /64 range. Bishonen | tålk 08:33, 17 January 2022 (UTC).
Hi, thanks for the alteration, you were right about a common name, I was a bit confused doing research into the naming of Llywelyn and suppose I left a flaw to catch up on. I would like to bring it to your attention that Elder Llywelyn is actually Llywelyn Fawr, and this name has been taken by Llywelyn the Great, who is not actually 'Fawr', and someone has potentially made a mistake in naming these articles. This assumption can be verified through references : Llywelyn Fawr - Pierce, Thomas Jones. "LLYWELYN FAWR and LLYWELYN FYCHAN (fl. early 13th century). lords of Merioneth". Dictionary of Welsh Biography. National Library of Wales. Llywelyn the Great - Stephen, Leslie, ed. (1888). . Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 16. London: Smith, Elder & Co. p. 831. , Lee, Sidney, ed. (1893). . Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 34. London: Smith, Elder & Co. pp. 7–13. , Pierce, Thomas Jones (1959). "LLYWELYN ap IORWERTH". Dictionary of Welsh Biography. National Library of Wales. Officially at no stage in these references or any others found online is Llywelyn the Great name Fawr, however in the very few sources avaialble for Llywlyn the Elder he is named Fawr, eg. Myth of Llywelyn Fawr. There's some resarch into the topic, I've also opened discussions on relevant talk pages to try and get a general consensus. Cltjames (talk) 10:01, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
Could you run an eye over Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 18, 2022 for me? 985 characters used against a hard limit of 1,025. Ta. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:39, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Serial Number 54129, for some reason I can't email to you. I changed my email back to the oldest one I have some time ago, and it's not sending the confirmation email. Anyway, can you please forward the Joseph Lister article to scope_creep dot hotmail dot com. Thanks. scope_creepTalk 16:02, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
