New year, new scripts. Welcome to the 23rd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering around 39% of our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. That’s right, we haven’t published in two years! Can you believe it? Did you miss us?
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
User:Alexander Davronov/HistoryHelper has now become stable with some bugfixes and features such as automatically highlighting potentially uncivil edit summaries and automatically pinging all the users selected.
To a lesser extent, the same goes for User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin is a rewrite of Ais's Watchlist Notifier with modern APIs and several new features such as not displaying watchlist items marked as seen (hence the name), not bolding diffs of unseen watchlist elements which doesn’t work properly anyways, displaying the rendered edit summary, proper display of log and creation actions and more links.
Alexis Jazz: Factotum is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
User:Aveaoz/AutoMobileRedirect: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Wikipedia. Unlike existing scripts, this one will actually check if your browser is mobile or not through its secret agent string, so you can stay logged in on mobile! Hooray screen estate!
Deputy is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
User:Elominius/gadget/diff arrow keys allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding Ctrl with the arrow key.
Frequently link to Wikipedia on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! User:Luke10.27/attribute will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard.
User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to Evad37's script, with a few bugs solved, and a host of extra features like check-boxes for choosing draftification reasons, multi-contributor notification, and appropriate warnings based on last edit time.
/CopyCodeBlock: one of the most important operations for any scripter and script-user is to copy and paste. This script adds a copy button in the top right of every code block (not to be confused with <code>) that will, well, copy it to your clipboard!
m:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AceForLuaDebugConsole.js adds the Ace editor (a.k.a. the editor you see when editing JS, CSS and Lua on Wikimedia wikis) to the Lua debug console. "In my opinion, whoever designed it to be a plain <textarea> needs to seriously reconsider their decision."
GANReviewTool quickly and easily closes good article nominations.
ReviewStatus displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed.
SpeciesHelper tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles.
User:Opencooper/svgReplace and Tol's fork replaces all rasterized SVGs with their original SVG codes for your loading pleasures. Tell us which one is better!
ArticleInfo displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title.
/HeaderIcons takes away the Vector 2022 user dropdown and replaces it with all of the icons within, top level, right next to the Watchlist. One less click away! There's also an alternate version that uses text links instead of icons.
Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2024 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 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. Signups will close on 31 January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will move on to round 2. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk·contribs·email), Epicgenius (talk·contribs·email), and Frostly (talk·contribs·email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Greetings! Regarding Special:diff/1195720594: MOS:CONFORMTITLE says that titles of works should be cleaned up to conform to Wikipedia style guidelines; I interpret that to include titles of works in citations conforming to MOS:TMRULES. -- Beland (talk) 00:38, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was writing a long answer, but look, we do not mess with the words of source titles (or quotes from them, etc) for the fact that the source article's original text is considered copyrighted material. Presence on Wikipedia in a limited capacity is fair use, but modification of the words (even if a "TM" symbol) isn't something you can do under fair use. Legally. Unless there's an explanation for why removing it is necessary ("the MOS told me so" isn't). Kingsif (talk) 04:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
hi, i am writing about a fairly unknown person. is that okay? --Thekingogog (talk) 01:26, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Their popularity doesn't matter if there are suitable sources to show their notability for inclusion. I would suggest reading over WP:GNG and WP:BLP before writing the article. Kingsif (talk) 01:47, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was perusing WP:DYKNC and noticed that no one had yet given you this award; congratulations, and thank you for your hard work and contributions to DYK! Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 10:56, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for speaking the fact that some sporting events are referred to as Country Year.[edit]
Thanks for speaking the fact to Hey man I'm josh that some sporting events are referred to as Country Year. Abhiramakella (talk) 16:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the message. I'm replying to tell you that it's good to remember the advice at Help:Redirect before creating them, and that mass-creating redirects can be seen negatively. Just to keep in mind for future reference! Kingsif (talk) 22:37, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please also explain to Explicit that some sporting events are referred to as Country Year ? He deleted the redirected page Saudi Arabia 2034 and doesn't even realize that it refers to the 2034 FIFA World Cup in Saudi Arabia. I fixed the redirect. Abhiramakella (talk) 19:10, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Explicit: I don't know if you've been approached about this, but see message above. Feel free to use this space to discuss or whatever. Kingsif (talk) 20:00, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We may not wholly agree, but I respect that you were able to self-reflect and that we were able to get to a place where we were able to conclude our discussion amicably. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:51, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, it happens all the time, as soon as games finish the table gets update, you do not need to wait until the end of the match day to be over. I always put DATE (? of ? matches played) to make it clear that not all games have yet finished. Skyblueshaun (talk) 11:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First, you should reply in the thread where the conversation began, so that it can be easily followed. Second, maybe you do it all the time, but it is strongly discouraged. The actual league tables are not updated until the end of the matchday, and it is misleading to update after, say, the first game and suggest that a team was in X position on the table at any point when they never were (i.e. team A wins the first game on day 1 and goes top, you update, it looks like team A is topping the table, the rest of the games are played and they're much lower and only then does the actual league in question actually produce the first league table. Team A was never top, but you made Wikipedia say that). Kingsif (talk) 21:47, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! How's it going? I know you recently haven't edited much about Venezuela cinema, but I just wanted to let you know I recently started the Venezuelan cinema in the 2020s article, during Simón's GA nomination. Since this is the first article of this kind that I create, I wanted to ask if you had any advice about structure or possible additions. Best wishes! NoonIcarus (talk) 00:44, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for your feedback. I'm still not sure why you removed the September 16th 2022 arrest of Diallo ("mise en examen" in French). I understand you don't want a chronological order, but the date is "legally" more serious than the first Diallo arrest. Does it have to do with "arrest =/= conviction"?
For Molina, the issue is that some sources are from social media or YouTube. How do you reference a social media source? I understand they are not usable as a newspaper source. Jheronimus (talk) 13:53, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NYPOST is not a reliable source, in general, and there are examples of them deliberately misleading with information about crimes to make people seem more or less guilty in a way that is sensationalist and/or fits NY Post's preferred narrative. Those examples relate to New York, but I have no confidence that they would be more diligent in ensuring accuracy when covering a story that isn't about the city their primary readership is actually familiar with. Kingsif (talk) 14:34, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk·contribs), Epicgenius (talk·contribs), and Frostly (talk·contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi Kingsif. I'm a total newbie, writing my first article.
Some of the guidance I read when I started out suggested that if an article already exists, I should contribute to that, rather than starting out on a new one. So, with some misgivings, I started adding to the short article on "Bible translations into Hindi and Urdu". Unfortunately I know almost nothing about Bible translations into Hindi - I can't even read the Devanagri script that Hindi is usually written in. I know quite a lot about Urdu translations. Already the article has become top-heavy with my Urdu material - and I'm probably less than one third the way through what needs to be said about Urdu translations. Though there are historical links between Urdu and Hindi, they are totally separate languages. There is minimal overlap of religious vocabulary - which is a major feature of the Bible. So really Hindi and Urdu should have their own articles (with some limited cross-referencing). I realise now that should have got advice before I started. What is now the best way forward? When I was starting I came across some info on dividing a Wikipedia article into two articles, but can now no longer find it. Or is another approach wiser? Thanks in advance for your help. --Patrus Masih (talk) 21:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have worked on the same article and no, the article should not be split. As far as Christianity is concerned, there is much overlap in religious vocabulary and in fact, most early translations were in Hindustani (both in Devanagari and Nastaleeq). Please continue to work on the article with an inclusive approach and remember that additions should be referenced. Thanks, AnupamTalk 22:39, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thank you for the question. I am not an expert on either language or their approach to Bible translations. Anupam seems to have relevant knowledge, and if I was you I would look to scholarly articles that are about the topic and see what they have to say on if the two language translations are similar enough to be covered in the same article. If you think there is still scope to split the article into two separate articles, I would seek advice from editors with more subject-based knowledge at perhaps WP:WikiProject Christianity - you can search for WikiProjects to seek advice from like you would other articles, by including the prefix in the search box. And feel free to ask any other questions! Kingsif (talk) 16:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Question from IcyRazer (22:44, 15 February 2024)[edit]
Hi Kingsif...
I'm frankly not that intertested in becoming an "editor" of Wikipedia
I saw a less than good illustration for an article and thought to change it. I only re named it.
THe article is Parathesia and the illustration is the one labelled "Pins and needles" - just strikes me as a lame illustration of the feeling "pins and needles" --IcyRazer (talk) 22:44, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you're asking how to change the image, first, nobody is going to do it for you if the reason is only "I thought it was lame", second, please be familiar with copyright law in your own country and the USA before uploading any images. Kingsif (talk) 00:03, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguation link notification for February 16[edit]
An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ultimate Team, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page UEFA league.
Question from From14 (17:58, 18 February 2024)[edit]
Hello,
I'm a Wikipedia editor and i have an account for over 6 days and have 92 edits but still I'm unable to move pages.
Please help me --From14 (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know that scope of what you're trying to do, but you might find something helpful at WP:PAGEMOVERKingsif (talk) 19:38, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just asking you that I am unable to move my Drafts articles to the Wikipedia Live Main Space.
How is it possible? From14 (talk) 19:40, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If it is an WP:AfC draft, you need to submit it for review. If it isn't, there should be (on desktop) a "More" option near the top right, and in the dropdown there's a "Move" option. Within the form that follows, you shouldn't change the name - in the dropdown before the name, if you scroll to the top there will be "(Article)" as an option, and that's mainspace. Kingsif (talk) 19:44, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All checked by me but there is no button available for Move. From14 (talk) 19:47, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just checked and your drafts are AfC, so only my first sentence is relevant. You cannot move them. Kingsif (talk) 19:56, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When will it be possible? From14 (talk) 05:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not possible for anyone to move their own AfC drafts to mainspace. Kingsif (talk) 05:00, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On 19 February 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article 77th British Academy Film Awards, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Stephen 05:03, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Kingsif, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted 77th British Academy Film Awards for ITN points in the WikiCup, but you do not seem to have been a major contributor to the article (in fact, you do not seem to have edited the article at all). Per Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, you need to have worked on the article significantly to receive points. Unfortunately, this is not eligible for points as a result. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:52, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks - I trust you to make any necessary edits (and thanks if you already have). Kingsif (talk) 00:16, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was gonna ask to withdraw because I got into doing the WikiCup as personal editing motivation, but thinking about this submission and other things I might edit to submit, it has felt less fun recently. I want to just edit what I edit and if it meets WikiCup, it meets it, if it doesn't it doesn't, rather than worry about what does or doesn't before/during editing. This isn't that I'm unhappy that submission doesn't count, don't worry - more that I would rather not have to be thinking whether something will count or not when I am making ITN noms (etc.), and the reminder that maybe I do have to is a bit... not the spirit of my editing mindset at the moment. Anyway, I notice that today is the cut-off for the first round so I don't think I need to withdraw, but I thought I'd mention this anyway, say that I hope that it's back to being fun next year, but maybe (and I should probably suggest this at WikiCup talk) there could be a non-scoring tier of WikiCup introduced that is more focused on being fun. Kingsif (talk) 01:06, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You might not be the right user, so i apologize in advance. But you should edit that article, Michael Jackson should be at 500 million and ahead of Elvis. But it has not been updated in many years and continues to be inaccurate Never17 (talk) 19:51, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone, yourself included, can edit the article, provided you have an appropriate WP:RS. Kingsif (talk) 23:24, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's edit protected against new accounts Never17 (talk) 01:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So unfortunately i cannot do anything :( Never17 (talk) 02:41, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, you should go to the article talkpage and make an edit request. See WP:Edit requests for guidance on that. Kingsif (talk) 12:30, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.
Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
Without caching. Each script takes 400–500ms. A particularly large script takes 1.11 s! Internet download speed is 50 Mbps.With caching enabled. Each script takes just 1-2 ms to load.
To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!
Doǵu/Adiutor(pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
/afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
/ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
/redirect-helper(pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
/rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
Guycn2/UserInfoPopup(pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.
Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
Jonesey/common(pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
/AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
/Selective Rollback(pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
/flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
/randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{fix}} templates.
Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!
Hello! Your submission of Keira Walsh at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

Oh that's neat. Another themed set that could go in there is the Museums Day one, I'll try to find it. If I think of any others, too. Kingsif (talk) 21:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
DYK nomination of 1973 P.F. Barcelona season[edit]
On 26 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ultimate Team, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the video game mode Ultimate Team has been criticized for its reliance on loot box packs, considered to be a controversial form of gambling? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ultimate Team. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ultimate Team), 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.
It looks like you moved a bunch of 1-day-old threads that had few-hours-ago activity and were on-going discussions converging towards improved content. The setting is for 3-day expiry. If the bot isn't working, no objection to doing it manually. But this action seems disruptive to civil consensus-building and article development. Please undo. DMacks (talk) 02:37, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you point me to the threads that were ongoing and had useful discussions? I intended only to archive those which were either clearly FORUM breaches or clearly resolved. Kingsif (talk) 02:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I am about to be busy now, but feel welcome to undo my archiving of any threads you think were useful. Kingsif (talk) 02:48, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. I unarchived the two in which I was interested. DMacks (talk) 15:07, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It was very disruptive editing – one day old is not nearly enough to archive. Please don’t do that again. All good wishes, Springnuts (talk) 13:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, in a current disaster news cycle, one day is more than enough to be "old", and discussions that have been resolved or are off topic should be archived to prevent them attracting irrelevant discussions that makes the talk page difficult to navigate.

On 28 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Keira Walsh, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that footballer Keira Walsh first captained England in 2018, when she was the youngest player in the squad? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Keira Walsh. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Keira Walsh), 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.

Dear Kingsif,
I hope that this message finds you well. I am writing to request your mentorship for my first GA review.
Several days ago, I started an evaluation of Prince George of Wales's article against the GA criteria. Because of my lack of experience and the notability of the article's subject matter, I am admittedly very overwhelmed trying to ensure this review is properly conducted.
Moreover, given that you indicate you would take on pop culture on the GA mentor list, I would especially appreciate your insight. (I understand that calling House of Windsor members "pop culture" may be a stretch, but they are considered as such in my country.) Therefore, would you please be able to provide any pertinent feedback as I complete my GA review on Prince George's article?
Thank you very much for your consideration. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I can definitely take a look, though I am a bit busy for a few days - is there anything in particular you want attention on? I have to say, probably quite an overwhelming article for a first review, but thank you for reviewing! Kingsif (talk) 21:35, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I will not need any assistance with this matter. I have been relieved of reviewing Prince George's article against the GA criteria. That being said, I will reach out to you in the future if I have any relevant questions. AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 21:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We are approaching the end of the 2024 WikiCup's second round, with a little over two weeks remaining. Currently, contestants must score at least 105 points to progress to the third round.
Competitors may submit work for the second round until the end of 28 April, and the third round starts 1 May. Remember that only competitors with the top 32 scores will make it through to the third round. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs. As a reminder, competitors are strictly prohibited from gaming Wikipedia policies or processes to receive more points.
Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Please be mindful not to perform controversial edits while logged out, or your account risks being blocked from editing. Please consider reading up on Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts before editing further. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 331dot (talk) 09:28, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
