Hello, Nyttend. I noticed you have in the past edited Template:Fulton County, Georgia. While adding a new community, I also noticed someone had changed the "unincorporated communities" section of the template to "neighborhoods" with the rationale "there are no more unincorporated areas anymore due to South Fulton's incorporation". Could you please verify this? If so, is it correct to include and label as such Fulton County's "neighborhoods"?

I look to Template:Jefferson County, Kentucky for guidance, knowing that since that county has city/county government: all former unincorporated areas have since been removed from the list.– Gilliam (talk) 05:45, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Given that South Fulton includes all of those areas, should we include those former unincorporated communities, and if so what term do we use in the county template? I have never seen "neighborhoods" appear in a county template.– Gilliam (talk) 12:40, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

I would have to agree with Gilliam. I have had a less than fun time in Minnesota as far as editing for this exact reason. Specifically, a place called West Virginia Minnesota. Basically they had their own Post Office, and after my first attempt at adding that community I received an ownership brow beating, which basically made me decide to never edit there ever ever again. Neighborhoods are fine, but to the best of my knowledge they are not necessarily geographically defined. West Virginia has this near Beckley and Charleston and yes, I have had to basically help people along with the notion that if there is no ref, or source plainly stating oh yes, this is now part of a neighborhood, I cant see it being accepted as the gospel.JUST my 2 centsCoal town guy (talk) 13:09, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

I have been developing starter articles for a bunch of Kentucky NRHP places. Thank you for having visited and photographed a whole lot of them. --Doncram (talk) 04:04, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Nyttend. Could you add the "deceased"-tag to Corinne's user page? Thanks, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 20:21, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Your edit to Mark Z. Jacobson was a bit odd. You said: "WP:BLPPRIMARY; putting lawsuits in the intro, without presenting any evidence of secondary coverage even noticing them, is nowhere close to "exercise extreme caution". If you can't distinguish between primary and secondary sources, go to college and don't trash Wikipedia articles".

The sentence in the Lede was sourced to Nature and the LA Times. The supporting section in the body is cited to the Washington Post ( several articles), NY Times, San Diego Tribune, Science magazine, The American Council on Science and Health and RetractionWatch (which is admittedly a bit bloggy but is considered RS for discussion of retractions, narrowly construed).

I'm assuming this was a mistake? Guy (Help!) 16:36, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

I just wanted to say thank you for catching my mistake. I completely missed the NIH. Sorry about that. That was a major mistake on my part. --Majora (talk) 20:34, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

I think you have made a mistake here. Please reverse your deletion of this article. His winning of the silver medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and recordings for Decca Gold and Universal establish notability per WP:MUSIC. The individual who tagged my article tagged it because it was only a sentence long at the time and I wasn't finished adding content. Thank you, Zingarese (talk) 23:52, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Can you remove protection from The Simpsons and Family Guy? 71.202.112.200 (talk) 03:42, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Why? Nyttend (talk) 10:15, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

So I can add information. 71.202.112.200 (talk) 22:04, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

You can propose changes at Talk:The Simpsons and Talk:Family Guy. Nyttend (talk) 00:48, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Already request unprotection on both talk pages, but Doniago asked why. Which other admin should I ask? 71.202.112.200 (talk) 04:03, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

WP:ADMINSHOP should answer your question. Nyttend (talk) 00:18, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello! I am requesting for Chidsey Library to be restored from a G5 speedy removal back in 2014. I'm wishing to expand on the NRHP but at the same time I'm unsure of what the original material consisted on the article and/or if I should just start fresh. – TheGridExe (talk) 02:49, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

The anon was then unblocked but will hopefully leave his ax at home now. However, the other problem was the edits by the anon claiming to be *Trekker. Just trying to prevent further disruption. Cheers, -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 04:04, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello :-) The Anti-Harassment Tools team at the Wikimedia Foundation will start building these granular blocking tools in a few weeks and we've asked WMF designer Alex Hollender to help us make some wireframes so the tools are intuitive to MediaWiki users.

We have a first draft of how we think this tool should work. You can read the full proposed implementation here but here are the significant parts:

• Granular blocks (page, category, namespace, and file uploading) will be built on top of Special:Block. These blocks will function as if they were regular blocks and allow for the same options, but only take effect on specific pages.
• We will add a new checkbox for "Block this user from the whole site" which will be checked by default. When it is unchecked the admin will be able to specify which pages, categories, and/or namespaces the user should be blocked from editing.
• Granular blocks can be combined and/or overlap. (For example, a user could be simultaneously blocked from editing the articles Rain, Thunder, Lightning, and all pages inside the Category:Weather.)
• Only one block is set at a time, to adjust what the user is blocked from the administrator would have to modify the existing block.
• Block logs should display information about the granular block
• When a blocked user attempts to edit an applicable page, they should see a block warning message which include information on their block (reason, expiration, what they are blocked from, etc.)
• If a category is provided, the blocked user cannot edit either the category page itself and all pages within the category.
• If the File: namespace is blocked, the user should not be allowed to upload files.

We like this direction because it builds on top of the existing block system, both a technical and usability wise. Before we get too far along with designs and development we'd like to hear from you about our prosposal:

1. What do you think of the proposed implementation?
2. We believe this should be an expansion of Special:Block, but it has been suggested that this be a new special page. What are your thoughts?
3. Should uploading files be combined with a File namespace block, or as a separate option? (For example, if combined, when a user is blocked from the File namespace, they would neither be able to edit any existing pages in the File namespace nor upload new files.)
4. Should there be a maximum number of things to be blocked from? Or should we leave it up to admin discretion?

We appreciate your feedback on this project's talk page or by email. For the Anti-Harassment Tools team, SPoore (WMF) (talk) , Trust and Safety Specialist, Community health initiative (talk) 20:54, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

My poem is bad but my apology for the bad links is sincere!

Hi Nyttend, your tag "which?" in the lead of Meher Baba is asking for OR on our part, as Meher Baba did not say "which one" according to the Hinduist belief system in specific. On the contrary, he referred to the Avatar (in singular) as one and the same [soul] in all his incarnations and mentioned also Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad and Buddha, who belong to other systems of belief as "Avatars". However I do not think any of this is necessary for the biography article, let alone the lead, and we already have an avalanch of AfD's on topics relating to Meher Baba, including a couple on his use of some key terms. So at this point, expanding in particulars would be a Sisyphian effort IMO. Best regards, Hoverfish Talk 02:26, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello. Could you please let me know what the article looked like because you deleted it as "vandalism"? There are many obituaries, so I could re-create it. Please ping me when you reply. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 15:18, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Is it normal that you deleted twice the same image or is it a bug? L293D (☎ • ✎) 13:35, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Now that's weird. There were four images in CAT:CSD, so I opened each of them in a new tab, verified that they all qualified, and deleted them in turn. I finished deleting each one before starting on the next, so I should have gotten the "Could not delete the page or file specified. (It may have already been deleted.)" warning.

Hello. I recently used your photo File:DPandL_mound.jpg for the Wikipedia article on Killen Station. I was wondering if you took any photos of the Killen Station plant. If so, when you get the chance, please upload. Thank you! FunksBrother (talk) 17:43, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Do you have any planned any time soon? If not I may try to mop up some of the counties with missing sites - Charles City County for certain, and likely Goochland County as well. Perhaps one or two others, but those are the main ones. Got a few days off coming soon. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:59, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

OK, I'll bear those boundaries in mind. Did you try for any of the James City County archaeological sites? I think I might be able to trace a couple. Otherwise, I know for a fact Charles City County is on the docket.

I'd love more details about the book - I'll shoot you an e-mail in a day or two. Coming down off of a heavy period at work right now, so I'm taking it a bit easy. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:37, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Nyttend,

Regarding your comment

What kind of violation is this? (if it's not vandalism as you've pointed out)
