Merge prop
[edit]@Femke, Since I don't have right to roll, could you merge this WP:Orphanage article Daud Bisinle — Daud Mohamed Omar. 
Thank you QalasQalas (talk) 06:47, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hello User:QalasQalas. You don't need rollback for a merge. After you've copied over relevant text with attribution, you can simply replace the article text with a redirect (WP:MERGETEXT). Rollback is mostly useful for those who work with WP:Huggle and WP:UltraViolet to fight vandalism. For other types of edits, WP:edit summaries are preferred. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:04, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

[edit]See [1]. I think a NOTHERE block would be appropriate. I also suspect possible COI or paid editing.. Doug Weller talk 07:58, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're right. I've blocked and deleted their sandbox per G11. Could maybe have blocked immediately when I say their edit on talk:verifiability.. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 13:25, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Never mind, there's no way they are going to give a good reason to get unblocked anyway. Doug Weller talk 13:32, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Event Coordinator Removal
[edit]Hey there. Recently you have enabled the event coordinator flag on my account. Unfortunately I am no longer able to host edit-a-thons and would like to have the flag removed. Kind regards, VancityRothaug (talk + contribs) 16:05, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Done. And feel free to ask it back when you're able to organise some edit-a-thons :). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:24, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Reinstatement of Václav Smil's book in the bibliography.
[edit]Dear Femke,
I noticed that Václav Smil's book, Natural Gas: Fuel for the 21st Century, has been removed from the bibliography. I would like to explain why I think it is useful and necessary to keep it as a source.
Author authority: Smil is a recognized expert in the field of energy, and is an authoritative source for understanding the role of natural gas in the global energy context.
Relevance of content: The book covers a crucial topic for the energy transition, in line with current global discussions on the future of energy.
Contribution to the literature: The work contributes significantly to the scientific and economic understanding of natural gas, a key topic for the energy sector.
Compliance with guidelines: The book is an academic and relevant source in line with Wikipedia's guidelines.
I hope you can review the decision and consider reinstating this book. If necessary, I can also provide a citation that conforms to Wikipedia standards.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely 87.7.192.197 (talk) 19:10, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hello :). I see you've reverted the change, which is fine and I'm happy for it to stay if you believe it is relevant. I was a bit hesitant to keep it in as it's 10 years old and the energy landscape has change dramatically since 2015. Back then, seeing natural gas as a transition fuel was quite common, whereas the academic literature now much more strongly emphasized the upstream emissions. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:17, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
