List of misquotations

[edit]

Hi there, I've often seen you around at RfD and you seem to know a lot about redirects so I thought to inform and ask, there's an IP at List of misquotations (which I recently closed as "keep") who appears to be adding some sort of maintenance note but is also getting reverted by an anti-vandal bot. Is what the IP doing ok? Left guide (talk) 09:34, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the IP is doing the right thing on this occasion. Cluebot does not edit war so the edit should stick now the IP has reinstated it. I've reported it as a false positive to the Cluebot maintenance (person? team?), but I've never done that before so I don't know what happens next (if anything).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, G15, has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a large language model (LLM) without human review.
  • Following a request for comment, there is a new policy outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Article titles and capitalisation 2 closed

[edit]

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

  • The existing Manual of Style and article titles contentious topic is amended, to narrow the scope to only apply to article titles and capitalisation. The contentious topic area is to be renamed "Wikipedia:Contentious topics/Article titles and capitalisation", and the exact scope is available at the final decision page.
  • The word limit restriction (discretionary) is added to the standard set of contentious topic restrictions for all contentious topics:

    Uninvolved administrators may impose word limits on all participants in a discussion, or on individual editors across all discussions, within a specific contentious topic area. Citations and quotations (whether from sources, Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia discussions, or elsewhere) do not count toward the word limit. These restrictions must be logged and may be appealed in the same way as all contentious topic restrictions.

  • Dicklyon (talk · contribs) is indefinitely banned from Wikipedia. This ban may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
  • The Arbitration Committee assumes the indefinite topic ban of Dicklyon. This restriction may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
  • Dicklyon is indefinitely topic banned from challenging or requesting a review of any closure within the article titles and capitalisation contentious topic area, broadly construed. This restriction may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
  • Cinderella157 (talk · contribs) and SMcCandlish (talk · contribs) are indefinitely topic banned from the article titles and capitalisation contentious topic area, broadly construed. These restrictions may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
  • Cinderalla157, SMcCandlish, and Dicklyon are limited to 500 words in any discussion related to the article titles and capitalisation contentious topic area, broadly construed.
  • Hey man im josh (talk · contribs) is warned for edit warring.

WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 August 24#Farmer's Rebellion

[edit]

Hi there, just a heads-up I closed this RfD and launched a simple dab page at Farmers' Rebellion per your silent consensus. I think I got the main things, but a second pair of eyes may help since I don't draft large dab pages often; feel free to tweak or improve as desired.

Thank You Note

[edit]

Dear User Thryduulf,

Thank you for kindly showing how to write a http or url link which contains a bracket with the code that you gave. I find it very helpful.

If you are interested, here are my photos from my Wikimedia Commons account.

Here are also some sets of photos (including a sceptre of tutankhamun) that I got licensed freely for wikipedia articles: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AMediaSearch&search=merja+attia&fulltext=Search&type=image OR https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AMediaSearch&search=cvalette&fulltext=Search&type=image OR https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AMediaSearch&search=vera+zavaritskaya&fulltext=Search&type=image

Yes, I love Ancient Egypt...but in Canada today with post Covid inflation, most people are struggling to survive and I think I have contributed what I can for wikipedia. I also wrote and sourced almost all the images for this article from flickr: Dush, Egypt . I also sourced most of the images for these two Princesses' articles from flickr: Mereret and Khenmet Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 11:32, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
