Users such as yourself who make a significantly low amount of edits just to keep your administrative tools sicken me and many others. Just give up the tools already!!!

You've got your way - I won't take part in the GA process or any discussions about the GA process - so why are you twisting the knife? If you don't have the power to ban me from the GA process like you claim, THEN HOW ON EARTH have you the right to demand that I am not allowed to post on my own user page, or to demand that I "get back to work". What "work" am I allowed to do? Who gets to decide it? Are you trying to drive me off the project - if so you are doing a good job of it. I don't want to continue this discussion, so please don't.Nigel Ish (talk) 14:42, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Although thinking about it, continuing a discussion on someone's talk page is an odd way of 'not wanting to continue' a discussion that Nigel Ish started in by now *checks notes* two other venues, and has now also taken to Users:Kyteto's and Thebiguglyalien's talk pages, ywo completely inoffensive editors who have somehow earned Nigel Ish's ire. Or perhaps not enough people were paying him attention. SerialNumber5412918:10, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays! Aaron Liu (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.
Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...
BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.
Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve 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 ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.
For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

@TheTechie: Yeah, sure. No idea when; that's inside baseball stuff. But it needed reviewing, I reviewed it, now it passes to the next stage. This page shows the different processes it goes through; also see WP:QPQ. It doesn't take quite as long as that page might make it seem. To talk to editors who are more... immersed, shall we say, in the process than me (e.g. For timescales, etc), have a look at the DYK talk page.

Greetings, Serial Number 54129. You are receiving this notification because you've agreed to consider endorsing prospective admin candidates identified by the process outlined at Administrators without tools. Recently, the following editor(s) received this distinction and the associated endearing title:
Sorry, meant to write this last night and my battery ran out just as I was wrapping up. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "entailed in the male line"; the barony of Cromwell was created by writ of summons, so heritable by heirs general, rather than heirs male. The situation on Cromwell's death is exactly that described in Abeyance#History: no account is taken of the relative seniority of daughters, so the title lapses when their are coheirs. (I rewrote the phrase "could not be split between two female heirs" because to me that implies there are circumstances under which a peerage could be split.) Payling just says "elevated to the Peerage as Lord Cromwell, a promotion facilitated by Neville's death four weeks earlier", so I don't feel that I broke source-text integrity on the rewrite (I wouldn't defile one of your articles like that!). Indeed, Cokayne says on p. 554, note "b" that Bourchier "was not a coheir himself", so I'm reluctant to describe him as "remaining heir", as the article does now. I don't want to encumber Neville's article with legal finicking that's rather tangential to the man himself, but I do think the phrasing should reflect peerage law a little more closely; I'd like to hear your thoughts.
As you saw, I spun up a stub on Humphrey Bourchier, 1st Baron Cromwell, which you might be able to pad out from some of the sources you've used, especially Payling. It looks as though Payling is writing his biography for HoP (he must have been in the Commons as well before 1461), which will make interesting reading when it comes out. There's an episode in his history which I don't quite understand: Bourchier becomes chamberlain of the receipt again at Edward's accession in 1461. In 1464, John Leynton, who as the legal mind among Ralph, Lord Cromwell's executors had presumably been sparring with Neville & Bourchier, is appointed auditor of the receipt, and in the next year receives, fide the Calendar of Patent Rolls, "a writing of Humphrey Bourgchier, knight, lord Cromwell, one of the chamberlains of the receipt of the Exchequer, under his seal at arms dated 31 August, 5 Edward IV, granting to the said John for life the said office of one of the chamberlains of the receipt of the Exchequer with the appointment of one of the ushers of the Exchequer and other officers, as granted to himself by letters patent dated 17 July, 4 Edward IV". Apparently Humphrey wasn't supposed to be alienating his office, as the writing is enrolled along with "pardon to the said Humphrey and John of their trespasses in this matter; and confirmation to the said John for life of the said office and all fees thereof." That seems rather relevant to the state of the settlement in the 1460s, and I'm a bit surprised it didn't come into Payling's piece!
Richard Beauchamp, 2nd Baron Beauchamp may also be of interest to you given your recent work: there's an unsourced paragraph there that brings his wife's adultery into the trial of Burdet and Stacy, although the Croyland Chronicle is ambiguous about which Lord Beauchamp's wife was implicated (the 1st or 2nd).
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Butt of malmsey until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

On 18 February 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Thomas Burdet, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Thomas Burdet supposedly plotted treason against King Edward IV in 1477 after he killed Burdet's favourite white deer? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Thomas Burdet. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Thomas Burdet), 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.
Pleased to see you've got him promoted to FA. The new title is just the job, and don't forget you can post any number of redirects (as I've been doing today for a modest little article about a musical piece with various possible titles.) Tim riley talk16:59, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There was little point in joining the discussion after all, since it got rewritten as a result of either completely misunderstanding the topic or a personal desire to remove any possible iota or actual interest from the hook.

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.
Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:
Sammi Brie (submissions), with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.
Hey man im josh (submissions), with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.
MaranoFan (submissions), with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.
The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. 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, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Obviously, it is irrelevant now, given that the issue brought up is resolved, but I don't see how I was edit warring.

FYI - technically TWO refineries in that immediate area. And to be really boring, as it is already refined to a finished product, the Jet A-1 load doesn't require a refinery, but it will benefit us all if it enters the underground pipe delivery system that they surely have access to, saving several thousand lorries on the road.
Don't worry - both locations were already covered by existing sources, once I had taken the trouble to dig past the misleading headlines. BTW there is an edit-war brewing up over allision (not for the first time), and I cannot believe you let it slide so easily, so please enlighten me; what am I missing?
WendlingCrusader, ta. I did wonder how a tanker was going to, err, enter the refinery itself! If we can source the info re. pipelines etc, then it would be good to include it too, as others may also wonder the same thing.Why the fffff are people edit warring over one word. Just change allision to collision throughout, but keep the footnote explaining the technical difference. That way we follow the sources (all of which use the latter except for one trade publication) but demonstrate we are a serious academic project that can deal with technicalities also. Fortuna,ImperatrixMundi11:00, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thx for your input; I'm still a novice editor (12 mths / <3,000 edits), with a tendency to a nervous disposition, so your words are valuable to me.
Regarding the underground pipelines; I haven't searched in any way yet, but I suspect a security issue will be invoked. In a previous life I worked for a Water Authority, and we were somewhat cagey about where our pipes were buried. However I do recall something to the effect that waaay back in WWII a pipeline was set-up to deliver aviation fuel for the US bombers in East Anglia. The only clue these days is that several domestic heating oil distributors are all located within a few miles of each other around Wymondham, which is a sleepy market town nowhere near any port or refinery!
Pfft - UK oil pipeline network - ok, maybe not as secret as I thought. And Killingholme is on the map (see under "Lindsey")!
To ensure safety and integrity, the pipeline is patrolled by helicopter every two weeks.

I see you put the edit warring template on my talk page. I see you did not do the same for the other editor. May I inquire as to why? They made the same number of reverts (12) as I did (12).
I do not appreciate being singled out. I do not appreciate your posting two notices on my talk page back to back, in an antagonistic manner. And most of all, I do not appreciate your lack of communication. Delectopierre (talk) 07:12, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Fortuna, I hope you don't mind me stepping in) @Delectopierre: You received a warning notifying you that biographical articles of living or recently deceased people are considered a contentious topic area. Since you made an edit to Neil Mehta, it was appropriate for you to receive a contentious topic notice. If you had not received such a notice, you might have been blindsided by sanctions against you. You should follow the advice given in the notice Fortuna gave you. It was appropriate, helpful, and not written by Fortuna, who simply applied a template. See {{Contentious topics/alert/first}}. You received an edit warring notice from Fortuna as well. This edit warring notice was, again not written by Fortuna, but a template that was applied. See {{uw-ew}}. I'm sorry you find these standard notices to be "antagonistic", but they are the standard notices. It is clear from your editing history at Lifestance Health that you have been engaging in edit warring ([2],[3],[4]). Fortuna warning you of the consequences of edit warring was entirely appropriate. Lastly, could you please highlight where you attempted to interact with Fortuna and they failed to communicate with you? I'm not seeing it, either here or on your talk page. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 14:53, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, @Hammersoft. I do appreciate your reply. I know that Fortuna didn't write the template.
I understand the implications of contentious topic editing, and I will point out that I wrote the Neil Mehta article, and the edits I recently made were well received.
Regarding the edit warring: It's not that I think I was in the right here. I was wrong, and I stopped. It's also not that Fortuna placed the template on my talk page. Again, I was wrong here, and I've stopped. But it takes two to tango, and Fortuna only placed the edit warring template on my talk page, not on the other editor's talk page, despite both of us making two edits in our now finished edit war. As I'm sure you know, point 2 on the template is Do not edit war even if you believe you are right. So why not put a template on both of our talk pages? I was hoping that Fortuna had an answer that was something besides 'to single you out'. But I don't know how else to explain it.
That which I just described, in combination with no reply when I inquired as to why the template was only placed on my talk page, is what I find to be antagonistic.
highlight where you attempted to interact with Fortuna and they failed to communicate This very thread. Fortuna made somewhere on the order of 50 edits over the course of two days -- including acknowledging other threads on this page -- but didn't reply to me. That's their choice, but I don't appreciate that my question wasn't acknowledged in any way. Delectopierre (talk) 21:53, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will point out here that three different editors were reverting you at Lifestance Health. Usually in cases such as this the person who gets warned is the person who everyone else is reverting. Thanks for highlighting the lack of response. --Hammersoft (talk) 22:08, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nonsense; [en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election&diff=prev&oldid=1280997409 lying edit summaries] are disruptive]. Anyone with eyes can see I did not "remove all the content"; but there are none so blind as those that will it see. I was going to reply to your message below conciliatorily, but there's clearly no point. Goodbye. Fortuna,ImperatrixMundi19:55, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you wish to hang your argument on the difference between removing 98.5% of the content of the article vs. 100% of the content of the article and calling that "lying", you are of course free to do so. It will, however, have no effect on the consequences of engaging in such actions again. You were aware of the edit warring issue on the article, as you contributed to this thread before engaging in your attempts to gut the article. Despite being aware of it and the final warning on the article's talk page, despite being made aware of the overabundance of articles that use this sort of format, you decided to gut the article twice [5][6]. This is nothing short of disruptive. There are plenty of admins who would have blocked you already for it. The final warning stands. If you resume this sort of behavior you will be blocked. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:14, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Every version of this edit notice contains lyrics of copyrighted songs. Thus, the editnotice is a copyright violation in all versions and needs to be deleted under WP:G12. Given our recent engagements, you might have thought it petty if I deleted it outright without raising the issue to you. Please request this to be deleted using {{Db-g12}}. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 15:34, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
On 19 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Roger Tocotes, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Roger Tocotes was suspected by the Duke of Clarence of masterminding the Duchess of Clarence's death, but Tocotes avoided capture until the King got involved? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Roger Tocotes. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Roger Tocotes), 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! I noticed you made a few edits to a page I recently created for the National Braille Press. Thank you for helping me to improve the page! I saw that you changed a lot of the information to be more concise, but that you also removed the sections about their Innovation Award and Gala entirely. I assume the reasoning for this was the sources because I saw you commented about primary sourcing. If I find new sources for both of these sections, Award and Gala, could I add the information on them back onto the page? Let me know what you think would be appropriate. Thanks!
