Question from Sanescious (20:32, 5 March 2024)

Hello I would like to know on how can i add my details as an artist, producer, beat maker and rapper --Sanescious (talk) 20:32, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

@Sanescious: Wikipedia strongly discourages making an article for yourself, but you still are allowed to provided you follow the conflict of interest guidelines. If you are already notable, it is likely you already have an article. Before doing anything, I would check to see if you meet notability guidlines, particularly WP:NSINGER, before doing anything.

Ok i will wait for your go ahead 41.150.221.213 (talk) 05:56, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Haspsyokes (11:03, 6 March 2024)

hello, do you know why is it that wikipedia marks words like "honoured" and "sulphur" as incorrect grammer(might be wrong term, I mean the red line underneath the word), and should I replace it with the other spelling of the word? (eg: honored, sulfur) --Haspsyokes (talk) 11:03, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

@Haspsyokes: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! 'Honoured' and 'sulphur' are the correct spellings for British or Australian English, whereas 'honored' and 'sulfur' are the correct spellings for American English. I'm assuming your browser or device is set to British English for some reason. JML1148 ^{(talk | contribs)} 08:09, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Irma Fritz (20:00, 7 March 2024)

Hello James! Good to meet you! I'm a fiction writer. Aside from English, I read/write German. I'd like to get started on Wikipedia, perhaps by creating my own Wiki page. --Irma Fritz (talk) 20:00, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

@Irma Fritz: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm just going to partially copy advice I've already given to editors in the same boat as you, I hope you don't mind. Wikipedia strongly discourages making an article for yourself, but you still are allowed to provided you follow the conflict of interest guidelines. Please make sure you are notable first, otherwise it is almost certain your article will be deleted. I would check notability guidelines, particularly WP:NAUTHOR, before doing anything.

Stadio Olimpico

Thanks, I wish for it to become a good article but I am aware that the article needs editing by a native speaker who well knows English. -- Blackcat 19:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

@Blackcat: No worries! Just so you know, I probably won't have much time to copyedit the article today, but I'll get to it tomorrow. JML1148 ^{(talk | contribs)} 21:14, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Ok. Just a thing, in the lead you asked whether 90,000 were the highest attendance for a concert at all, or only for the Olimpico. Of course it's the Olimpico only (Paul McCartney made > 200,000 in Rio de Janeiro in 1990...). I guess I explained it later in the article. -- Blackcat 21:22, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

@Blackcat: Another thing, in the 'Stadio dei Centomila' section, the sentence CONI chairman Giulio Onesti announced that renewal works would finish in 1950 is used, but there doesn't seem to be any other information before it about a renewal project. Am I missing something, or is there missing context? JML1148 ^{(talk | contribs)} 09:05, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Onesti was appointed chairman of CONI and his first task was the renewal of the venue. According to Piero Ostilio Rossi (Rossi, PO; Gatti, I. (1991) Roma. Guida all'architettura moderna 1909-1991, pp 351-52), the project was presented in 1949 by Vitellozzi and Roccatelli, and realized between 1951-53 by Vitellozzi, Valle and Pintonello because Roccatelli died in 1951 before the work started. -- Blackcat 20:52, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
PS BTW of this: Consiglio superiore dei Lavori Pubblici (Superior Council of Public Works) is a government agency which board is composed by architects, engineers and lawyers which is charged to supersede to tenders for public works. Now it happens rarely if never at all, but in the past its members also used to take part to the projects of State-owned buildings.

Your close

Thanks your for your considered close. Per your comments re: AN/I I did take action towards the end of the RfC at AE that resulted in a topic ban from two subjects for the editor you named. I should have handled myself better during the whole episode and I got a warning for my behaviour also. TarnishedPath^talk 10:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

@TarnishedPath: Thank you for the heads up regarding the AN thread. I didn't realise that Mkstokes received a topic ban or that the thread existed. JML1148 ^{(talk | contribs)} 06:39, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Engagement in WP:GRAVEDANCING and WP:NPA

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

Nick McKenzie talk page]. The basis of this is the idea that the blocked/banned/retired editor owns the content they created, and that this content was invalidated at the same time they were blocked, banned or decided to retire. This is incorrect, since the editor may originally have meant very well, and done good work, before they eventually flamed out. This also seems like a personal attack in violation of WP:NPA. I'll note that while Mkstokes currently has a topic ban, he is not banned from responding to your accusations, [https://wiki.alquds.edu/?query=User_talk:MaskedSinger/Archive_2

EXAMPLES OF GRAVEDANCING

Examples of gravedancing may include:

* Insults/accusations/other behavior directed at editors who are now blocked or banned. This is motivated by the idea that the editor in question won't be able to respond to the comment. This is wrong even if the editor in question never sees it because it contributes to a negative environment that is less likely to encourage editors to work together. * Behaving as though a consensus is no longer valid simply because a blocked or banned editor contributed to it. Whilst consensus can change, the simple act of blocking does not change it - if you wish to overturn the previous consensus then further input should be sought.

Despite claiming "There is consensus to remove the disputed content," it is clear none was achieved to remove said content. If it had been obtained, there would be no concern that "This is going to be a controversial closure, given the numerical majority against removing the content." Mkstokes (talk) 15:53, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

@Mkstokes: When I made the close at Nick McKenzie, I did not know of the WP:AN thread that existed, nor your topic ban. Neither of those things factored into my close as a result. If I have caused hurt, I apologise, but I don't think it qualifies as gravedancing because I did not know of your topic ban, and you are still able to respond to my comments. I also don't believe I did either of the examples of gravedancing that you have mentioned.

I do have more of an issue with the final part of your comment, though. RfCs and other discussions aren't closed based off of a simple vote tally. Instead, we work based on consensus. Per WP:DETCON, consensus is ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy. This means that closes may be made even if the numerical majority is against, if the quality of arguments on the minority are much stronger than the majority, which was the case in this discussion. I explained this in my closure note. The reason I left the comment about it being a controversial close is because closes against the numerical majority can obviously look unfair, particularly if you are involved and have a strong viewpoint. JML1148 ^{(talk | contribs)} 06:53, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Then you didn't do proper research before closing the item. There was no hurt caused as I am now fully aware of the way Wikipedia skews it's policies and guidelines to fit a leftist viewpoint. However, the apology is greatly appreciated. No one seems to take policies regarding public figures seriously on Biographies of living persons. As the dispute was thoroughly handled via the dispute process, there was no need to add your personal admonitions to the editors involved and to single me out for personal insult. As an experienced editor, you knew that any personal attack would come back to me when you tagged me, so the intent is clear. As you didn't know I was under a topic ban, I retract my warning and this can be either closed or deleted. Your prerogative. Mkstokes (talk) 08:43, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@Mkstokes: I've struck your comment, which is standard procedure for retracted statements. Since you seem reluctant to communicate any further, I will not respond to other parts of your comment. JML1148 ^{(talk | contribs)} 08:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

It's not that I'm reluctant to communicate with you. Rather, there are specific editors waiting for any opportunity to impose additional sanctions on me. Therefore I have to be very careful not to give them any cogent reason to do so via my Wikipedia contributions. You're welcome to email me if you want further discussion. Mkstokes (talk) 11:27, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@Mkstokes, the edit at Special:Diff/1213191446 in which you mention an article from which you are topic banned is a violation of your topic ban. Further this edit at Special:Diff/1213316863 in which you criticise an editor's close of an RfC about a subject which you are topic banned from is a violation of your topic ban. @Ivanvector, for your attention. TarnishedPath^talk 23:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@TarnishedPath, as you'll notice, the editor specifically tagged me in his closure while additionally insulting me. As @Ivanvector previously mentioned, "Mkstokes is banned from commenting on this topic; they're not banned from responding to...accusations." I accused @JML1148 of grave dancing and violating the no personal attacks policy on two points:

1. Insults/accusations/other behavior

2. Behaving as though a consensus is no longer valid

This issue has been cleared up, apologies and appreciations have been exchanged, I admitted my mistake, and the issue has been put to rest. You have been warned by the administrator that "A topic ban is not an invitation for you to follow the sanctioned user around and point out every mistake they make." This additional accusation as well as your comments on the talk page of the Fani Willis BLP are a clear indication that you either don't understand or don't care about the policies related to hounding. Ivanvector warned you, "...please don't harass editors even if they are sanctioned, unless you want to see your names beside logged interaction bans at WP:AELOG." I'm graciously willing to give you one last chance to drop your all consuming desire to get me. However, if Ivanvector wishes to submit you for addition to the Arbitration enforcement log, I will fully support his actions. I have full confidence that he will make the correct decision. Mkstokes (talk) 01:26, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

@Mkstokes, I'm clearly not following you around as evidenced by the thread above which I'd come back to see a response to. I suggest you strike your ridiculous statements. TarnishedPath^talk 03:17, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

As per your aspersions about hounding, participation in a single RfC does not constitute anything approaching that. Notably, as soon as I participated in that RfC you replied to my !vote immediately and then badgered me for a while. By your definition is that hounding? If you think I have a case to answer I invite you to take it to WP:AN/I. TarnishedPath^talk 03:26, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

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:

• Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
• Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
• Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
• Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
• Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
• Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
• Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
• Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
• Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
• Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
• Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
• Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
• Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
• Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
• Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
• Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
• Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

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:

I'm sorry about this

These accounts have a way of drawing people into arguments. I'm most sorry. TarnishedPath^talk 10:24, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

@TarnishedPath: Don't apologise. When I closed the RfC, I knew this was going to happen. Someone had to do it, and I decided it was going to be me. JML1148 ^{(talk | contribs)} 10:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

If I'd handled myself better earlier and taken action earlier perhaps we wouldn't be where we are now. TarnishedPath^talk 10:28, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

@TarnishedPath: What's done is done, no point mulling on the past. Anyway, let's hope this month-long block dissuades them from editing disruptively again. JML1148 ^{(talk | contribs)} 05:42, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey, how can I create a page for a software/tool? How can I be an auto confirmed user? --IncidentScribe (talk) 11:21, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

@IncidentScribe: The autoconfirmed permission is automatically given to users with at least 10 edits and an account over 4 days old.

@Hon. KIBEDI MOSES: I don't see any edits from you except you creating your userpage, so I don't know what's being 'rejected' - can you explain a bit more? You've only uploaded photos to Wikimedia Commons, which is what that site is for. Also, Wikipedia strongly discourages editing about yourself or things you have a close connection with. If you do still want to edit about yourself, as your question implies, read the simple conflict of interest guide. JML1148 ^{(talk | contribs)} 08:22, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello JML1148,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Question from LoLIamHappy (12:06, 9 April 2024)

Hey sorry to bother you. How do i add a source for information that’s relatively new so the new information dosent get removed? --LoLIamHappy (talk) 12:06, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@LoLIamHappy: I'm assuming you already have a source - if you don't, you cannot add the content, as almost all statements on Wikipedia require a source. Have a look at Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor if you're using visual editor, or Help:Referencing for beginners if you're using source editor.
