... with thanks for what you do on ITN, DYK, and at all! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:23, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
The year was 2020
the day was August 1st; for admiration, there was plenty that was yet to be dispersed. There were thoughtful acts of kindness, shown by Gerda and Valereee, some of which were noticed by the administrator named El C; A (talk page watcher), uninvited was inspired to write some prose so here it is spotlighted, for what reason, no one knows. |

Hello, Valeree, I am being accused of being a sockpuppet of the blocked and bad user Xayahrainie43. This is the URL for the sockpuppet investigation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Xayahrainie43
I am not a sockpuppet, and I have never operated sockpuppets. I should not be accused of sockpuppetry. Please help me. Thank you. Friend505 (talk) 19:43, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I fixed it about ten minutes after Dumelow made the comment! Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 09:59, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Valereee,
I found out that a user called Justright89199 had been blocked. This user promised not to repeat his/her mistakes after he/she was blocked. The blocker admin notified me (I was involved in a discussion between Justright89199, MelanieN, and Glen) to consult with a non-involved admin to unblock the user. Since you're an admin who did not participate in the discussion, could you please unblock Justright89199? Thank you. P.S. Please take a look at Justright89199's talk page. Friend505 (talk) 22:00, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
Cheers lass (lad? Name gives a different impression heh.)
I noticed you left a message on my talk page regarding the Floyd edit I made, and while I understand now the whole major/minor edit, I do not understand why it was reverted, and on top of that, sanctioned. I understand it's a political topic but I don't believe the edit I made falls under such a category. I also mentioned in my comment edit that it reflects current developments - those being the release of the full body-cam video.
In any case do let me know, I would appreciate it and all. Have a good day mate, cheers. 180app (talk) 01:12, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

So someone, some person here on Wikipedia, called me a Karen today, and I think that's the second time in as many days. I've also been told I'm clutching my pearls, and I shouldn't get my panties in a twist. I guess it's better to be a Karen than a Kyle, though, because Kyles are particularly dumb--or so my kids tell me. Liam: "they are stereotypical Whites who are racist and sexist. That's a Kyle for you". I asked him; he's sitting next to me playing Splatoon--I don't think you can cite him, though. Also, he's seven. Drmies (talk) 01:15, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
I don't know if you've been following my edits but the tone of the article is seriously off in many places. I'll be surprised if there's not some pushback over this so please keep an eye out to prevent bloodshed. EEng 01:55, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Valereee, please look at Template:Did you know nominations/History of Islam in the Arctic and Subarctic regions if you have time. I feel the nomination has great potential to use the photos in the article for a hook, but nobody has suggested anything. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 17:51, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
Hey, Usedtobecool, I really do want to stay out of it except when I get dragged in by being mentioned or referred to, but honestly if PDC calls the edits by Caradhras 'bad faith reverts' one more time, like they did this morning AGAIN after being told multiple times by multiple editors over the past however many days this has been going on that the edits weren't bad faith, I'm leaving a warning on their talk and pinging some active uninvolved admin. I think a major part of it is the mobile device, which I can't even imagine learning to edit on, but it's also complete refusal to listen and apparent unwillingnes to learn. Thank you for trying to help them. I'm still trying to assume good faith, but honestly if they won't accept the advice of probably a dozen editors to stop editing in contentious areas, it's hard to conclude that they are in fact well-intentioned. Sorry to ping you here, I didn't think it was a good idea to post to your talk. —valereee (talk) 14:30, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Apparently 8'46"[3] refers to angles, if the MOS is to be trusted ;-) —Bagumba (talk) 10:35, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
I have to admit I'm a little baffled. Between you, MelanieN, Salvio giuliano and myself we've done nothing but offer support and advise all of which just seemingly goes ignored. I'm trying to AGF but what are your thoughts? Youth or a case of CIR? Glen (talk) 17:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
OMFG. —valereee (talk) 18:09, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
Okay, no longer worried about not AGFing enough. I've looked back over my interactions, and I am not comfortable with calling myself uninvolved. —valereee (talk) 22:47, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
