Sorry I've been away for a good while; my computer's had keyboard issues that make it nearly useless, and I've always been hesitant to use my admin account on other computers. That's why I've been active with the backup account but not with this one. |

In your edits of 8 March 2020, you completely deleted my changes to the Washington, Virginia entry, stating "Rv to last year: an encyclopedia article was replaced with a promotional brochure." I am a historian living in Rappahannock County, Virginia, for which Washington is the county seat. In 2018, I published a 300-page history of Washington, based on 3 years of research by me (Washington, Virginia, A History, 1735-2018; available for purchase through Amazon.com). The Wikipedia page was drawn from this research, and the text was documented with 24 references. The prior Wikipedia text was not only incomplete, it was inaccurate. My goal was to provide Wikipedia readers with an accurate history and description of the town of Washington. Is there a way that I could modify my text to suit your desires as a Wikipedia editor.Harriswoodville (talk) 19:09, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi, who do I go to for this issue? This person removed content because it was not sourced. I clearly mentioned it and added a valid source. He's intentionally removing sourced content for no reason, yet he did the same when there was no source as mentioned above. He's clearly engaging in an unnecessary edit war, while I'm defending my position and reasoning for retaining my contributions here. Isn't this wiki meant to add valid sourced content to begin with?

You seem to be interested in historic buildings in Guilford County, North Carolina.

Hello Nyttend, Due to computer swaps and automated password holders, I have lost my log-in credentials on Wikipedia. I don't remember my original username and when I have tried the several names I thought might be correct, I did not receive the password reset instructions. This indicates I'm sorta locked out. Can you help?
I have a new project I would like to propose, but need to get back into the system to recall how I edited previously.

Hello, Nyttend,
I saw your back-up account's edits and wondered if this means you're returning. Your name was invoked in a recent discussion about an overly long bio that desperately needed pruning. Liz Read! Talk! 04:30, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi - would you know about the Kahiki Supper Club, why you moved it from the Columbus NRHP list to the Franklin County one? Looking at the coordinates, it lies outside of Whitehall, and the NRHP nomination refers to it as being in Columbus a few times, with a map even that makes it evident where it stood. This 1955 USGS map and aerial photograph I just found seem to say the same. ɱ (talk) 16:24, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Mid-size truck sales in the US 2005-2018.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file namespace redirect shadowing a page on Commons, and has no incoming file links.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

As you are an administrator willing to provide copies of deleted articles, is it possible to provide a copy of these long deleted articles: "Non-Islamic views of Muhammad"[1] and "Praise and veneration of Muhammad"[2]?Bless (talk) 01:25, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi, and happy new year! Re your edit on Did You Know today. I'm puzzled that you added an edit summary saying that a brig is not a ship, so you changed it to vessel, not ship. Your edit is fine, of course, and I'm not criticizing anything. I'm just puzzled. I have crewed on a brig, and it looked like a ship to me (as opposed to boat). So I wondered whether you could please explain? I always understood that a brig is so defined according to its rigging, and not according to its length overall or tonnage. However, although there is no real definition of a ship as far as I can see, people usually distinguish between boat and ship according to relative hull size. But I'm a Brit - maybe US definitions/distinctions are different? Storye book (talk) 10:44, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Nyttend. Hope you are well, the covid madness notwithstanding.
I can imagine that the tone of conferences — and therefore the papers presented — can vary widely, depending on the occasion/ event and audience — for example a conference coinciding with the celebration of 100 years of the construction of a town's bridge, and open to the general public. The source in question sounds very much like 'coffee table' chat.
Thanks as always. Regards, take care. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 11:35, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
This recent edit spoils the approved hook which was deliberately worded for humorous effect. As the edit has been made through protection without consensus, this is a violation of WP:PREFER, "Protected pages may not be edited except to make changes that are uncontroversial or for which there is clear consensus." Please revert. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:57, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

You need to be aware of this issue...

Nyttend, my info is always accurate! I use Fight Box their broadcaster or Kickboxing Z the largest independent kickboxing news website. Other, must be collected from their official site or official social media. We don't have many other alternatives.
GFC 7 moved from 13th May to 24th June. Due to the pandemic are these changes! See their last post, it says 24th June and it is the same poster as it was for 13th of May. And in Bucharest. Ciocoiu, Morari, Boapeah, Cebuc and Cătinaș were announced by the promotion on Facebook. In the last post of Jan Kaffa it is announced he will fight in Romania at GFC, the event which was rescheduled. Ostoia and Fila were confirmed by the ARJ Trainingen gym.
You should also know there is not more coverage for kickboxing, including Glory (kickboxing) is announcing the same online.
Colosseum Tournament 25 released the posters with those fighters, including main and individual.
DFS 11 card was announced on the official site. I posted this also.
Feel free to ask anything! I am doing this with accuracy. Nobody has accused me of fake info all over the years. UFC is not different than my work, using the same independent journalism with long time before it is announced the official card. This is how Wikipedia also gets more views, being a primary, main source of information.

With respect, I don't think that this edit summary was necessary. -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 21:44, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
Unlike the article/paper nomination below, in this case the disambiguation is at least correct: Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties is indeed a monograph.My point was that it's a niche term ("niche" as in "not used by the average person searching Wikipedia", not as in "nonstandard") and thus unlikely to be used as a qualifier in an ((r from predictable disambiguation)). El cid explained it even better than I had:
we could also make a page at Fuck (treatise), Fuck (discourse), &c. But just because it is technically accurate does not mean a DAB is needed. To that I would add Fuck (tome), Fuck (codex), Fuck (volume), and any number of other terms. When I said it was a term that
no one's ever applied specifically to this particular book, my point was that if there were a notable instance of someone saying, perhaps in a review or some other general-public-facing context, "Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties is a wonderful monograph", that would change the analysis. Otherwise "monograph" is just one of many synonyms, all valid, all improbable search terms.My point here not being to parallelly litigate the RfD, but to show that the reason I was "persist[ing] despite [your] polite explanation" was because you were explaining something I already knew, that I had explained I knew in my nom, that two other experienced users clearly understood, and that I had reïterated that I knew when you first misunderstood me.None of that, though, really ought to matter. "You're fucking clueless" would not be an acceptable thing to say even to someone who did misunderstand and had persisted in doing so for all of one comment. It would not be an acceptable thing for me to say to you, even though you misunderstood my meaning despite a polite explanation. Because it's rude. You're an admin. No user should speak that way, especially not over something so trivial, especially not over something where they're the one failing to grasp the point... But especially not an administrator.So I'll pose my question again: Do you view that as an acceptable way for an adminsitrator to behave? -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 21:12, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

I was going through the List of unicorn startup companies and am planning to create pages for those who don't have one. Snyk is on the list - you deleted a page for it https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&title=snyk in November 2017. From what I looked up, I believe 4 years later it's now notable enough to deserve its own page. Anyhow, the instruction said to first contact the user who performed the action listed below so here I am :) What do you think? If you think it doesn't satisfy notability, I won't waste my time.MaskedSinger (talk) 09:38, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
Interesting user profile page! I would also identify as a Calvinist and a Presbyterian, have Scottish ancestry, am a stickler for use of the subjunctive, and haven't owned a TV set since 1983 (fortunately I have had accommodating friends and neighbors). As for the IPA, I'm slowly picking up bits and pieces of the basics and am learning to like it.
I have roots and relatives in Amelia County, and for the last couple of weeks have found myself binge-editing articles about the various mostly forgotten communities that dot the countryside there (probably I'm driven by grief at my inability the last few years to carry on the decades-long tradition of visiting the relatives there over the holidays). This item goes back a while, but am wondering about Winterham. If I'm reading the revision history correctly, you're the one who put in mention of "Ham" as an alternative moniker. I can't find it on the Web, and my informal survey of the relatives also turned up no attestation (OK, actually I just asked one of my parents, who had never heard of such). Am curious where you found it.
While we're at it, I'd be interested in your recommendations for some good sources to research the origins of some of these place-names...I'm not a historian. -- 2603:6081:8004:DD5:6451:2AC4:EB73:1BE (talk) 07:36, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:School City of Hobart logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:35, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)
