Chlod is currently experiencing dysthymia, which may affect his Wikipedia editing in various ways. He may have difficulty with: altered perception when making editorial judgements, determining consensus, or reading Wikipedia discussions addressed to him; reduced availability on Wikipedia during times when he experiences issues; limited capacity to respond to other Wikipedians via talk page or email messages in a timely fashion, to participate in conflict resolution, or to complete his usual workload of Wikipedia tasks. Thank you for your understanding.

I admitted that I am really careless for the past two months, which can be explained by stress I have when I'm in college as well as my duties with elevated privileges I have. I own up to all of these mistakes and will strive to further improvement. MarioJump83! 05:05, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply] The Barnstar of Diplomacy Thanks for helping with the image of Panic attack!

If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page.  — Amakuru (talk) 17:08, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi A question which is important

Is apropriate to create a hashtag memory article in wikipedia?(contian populars in social network/trends) Im working in another version of wiki

I asked this of you and ask of others too Cus i didnt get it in laws of wiki and Everyone has his/her option So i need to reach an agreement Thx bro Pls check it fast and if you know a source tell me about it Im await you guy Bigbang2024 (talk) 03:29, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bigbang2024! Articles about social media hashtags are usually not given their own articles, since they are not notable enough for one. For an article to be created, the article...

• must contain reliable and verifiable sources,
• must have a notable subject,
• must be written from a neutral point of view, and
• must abide by the Manual of Style.

There are other basic policies when writing articles, but those should get you started. If you want to learn more about each policy, simply click on the link to go to its related explanation page. Seeing that you're a new user, I also recommend visiting Help:Introduction to find your way around Wikipedia, or Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure for a more interactive experience. Happy editing, and welcome to Wikipedia! Chlod (say hi!) 03:37, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2020 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add ((NoACEMM)) to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:34, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am following instructions to say hi. I try to follow instructions. But then sometimes instructions are unclear, so I conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis, consult my Ethics Review Board (it is a 2x4, but it is very ethical), and then I need to conduct an experiment based on my own insatiable curiosity. I apologize for editing the article about youtube-dl, I wanted to see if anyone was paying attention. It brings me comfort to know that you are. 209.94.144.13 (talk) 08:50, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't fully understand, but yes, Wikipedia editors observe a lot of pages on Wikipedia, as well as recently changed pages. We do this to avoid vandalism on pages. If you're doing research on Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is not a laboratory, and that editing tests are unwelcome on most pages, excluding your sandbox. Chlod (say hi!) 08:54, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You definitely understood enough, some of that was a joke. I wanted to prompt the "days since latest release" to update (it said November 11th was 11 days ago), and there was no "Purge Cache" button. I decided to add a "probably harmless" tracer, look at the edit history, and then revert my own change. The fact that it was reverted in 2 minutes flat helps to boost my faith in Wikipedia. I now regret including a link, I just remembered that Wikipedia (and at least one sister project) keep a graph of which articles are linked, and keeping that database consistent and free of crap is deeply important to me. That kind of "business logic" is a nightmare to implement. 209.94.144.13 (talk) 09:19, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you must have been looking for the purge option. The option to purge a page can be enabled by registered users, but for logged out users, you have to append a ?action=purge to the URL in order to force a purge, which should update all time-based data on the page. As for the graph of linked articles that you mentioned, that's the "What links here" link on the left side of the screen (for PC browsers), under "Tools".

Sportzpikachu has given you a Turkey! Turkeys promote WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a turkey, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

I see you recently accepted a pending change to February 19 that did not include a direct source.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the edit notice on that page, the content guideline and/or the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide.

All new additions to the DOY pages without references are now being either reverted on-sight or in some cases where the patroller is especially motivated, immediately sourced. I've gone ahead and backed this edit out.

All the pages in the Days of the Year project have had pending changes protection turned on to prevent vandalism and further addition of entries without direct sources. As a pending changes patroller, it's not required but it sure would be helpful if you didn't accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.

Thank you and please keep up your good work! Toddst1 (talk) 00:05, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Toddst1: Got it. You were right, I wasn't aware of this. Thank you for telling me! Chlod (say hi!) 00:30, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Twas not I. I would only edit a page etc if I had logged in - so I can't help you with that edit, I'm sorry. No need to reply and thanks for what you do. Michael MichaelBurl 23:36, 6 December 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Burlace (talk • contribs)
