Sdkb, please don't accuse me of edit warring. You refactored my comments. My "edit warring" was simply restoring them. As was correctly noted by another editor you crafted the RfC in question as to provide only a limited number of choices, presumably all ones you were OK with. That is misleading as the prior RfC didn't limit the scope to those choices. I admit I didn't initially notice this framing but it is now quite clear. Anyway, this is always a risks with opening a RfC out of the blue. Editors may not agree with the scope of the question and push for changes. BTW, it's inconsistent that you pushed options E and F out of the opening statement but not D. If you wish to keep D in I will insist that E and F are also kept in.

HI ! I'm new and I don't have the required access to move a page. Can you move|rename a page ? Because the one who have created it was in public account : only the IP Address appears so impossible to contact.
The Page is "Lists of films by studio" AND Should be renamed as "Lists of Major Studios|Distribuors by Country". Also the Page Should Stay in the current Categories which are good like that !

In Fact the Article wants List the Companies not the films|movies themselves. Is for that reason only Companies names appear in it. A Film|Movies Titles doesn't appear Anywhere in the Article. So what I'm trying to say is that This Article is Actually A Companies List of Major Studios|Distributors by Countries and not a Film|Movie List
Thank for your answer !
P.S. : It's because This Article is very usefull and well redacted. Just the name should be change for the one I've mentioned confer supra. ACI99-0001 (talk) 05:00, 19 March 2021 (UTC)ACI99-0001
EDIT : OK ! I've seized your way to approach this article finally ! But, directly, this is a list of Major Distributors AND Indirectly, when you click on a link this a List of Movies made by the associated Companies. So as you want, but maybe a title modification could make the Title clearear at 1st glance. So As you want. And thank you for your answer again !

Your DYK hook about the Martina Vandenberg drew 5,207 page views (434 per hour) while on the Main Page.

There seems to be continuing disagreement about this article, which I encountered at WP:AN3 back in December. I think it would be a good idea to expore the option you proposed with this talk post on January 11. You wanted to separate references and footnotes. Do you think that would be sufficient to avoid the 'bloat' problem whereby the notes column becomes huge, as in the version of the article created on March 8 by User:Nevermore27? Do you know of any examples on other articles where this issue is successfully handled? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 03:18, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I saw from the talk page that you were involved in adding the feature that generates automatic short descriptions for articles which use Infobox song, so I was wondering if I could ask you a question: Why does it generate the inaccurate short description "2021 single by The Beatles" for I'm Down? –Paul1337 (talk) 13:50, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
((wikidata|property|P577))
which returns 14 September 2012
.((year|((wikidata|property|P577))))
returns 2012
. For the Beatles song ((wikidata|property|P577))
returns nothing. You could check first to see whether ((wikidata|property|P577))
is null before passing that into ((Year)) and intentionally generating an error that I patrol for any try to fix. I added parameter (({2))}
to Template:YEAR so you could use that to check for errors when extracting the year from ((wikidata|property|P577))
. Errors that #iferror
detects are errors that I detect and you shouldn't be demanding that editors edit Wikidata to fix Wikipedia errors. It's lot easier to just add a ((short description)) template. All this increased complexity is making things harder to maintain.@Wbm1058: I don't follow exactly what you're proposing, but if you want to make edits to the template(s), feel free to do so, and if it fixes the error we're good. If it's going to take you a bit, we should undo your late January edits in the interim, as we don't want to let all these articles sit in a broken state for too long. It's unfortunate they've been this way for as long as they have already, but I'm glad Paul1337 discovered it and raised the issue. ((u|Sdkb)) talk 03:14, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
((wikidata|property|P577))

Hey, I've been meaning to do a TFD with ((Decade readership)), ((Page views double)), ((Annual readership)) and ((Graph:PageViews)) for some time now, but I need template editor rights do start the nom. Since you have said rights—would you people to help me do so? Here's what I'm thinking for the nom rationale:
Banner blindness is a real thing ([4] [5]) and results in important information (arbitration notices, controversial warnings, talk header etc.) being overlooked or ignored. These page views templates are prime examples of unhelpful cruft that clutters the talk page. The information is already available in a more sophisticated, customizable and accessible format, available at the top of the revision history page ([6]).
Then maybe something about how little help it is for both readers/editors? I'm sure this will be a huge nom so I want to get especially convincing wording, let me know if you have any thoughts. Aza24 (talk) 21:08, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
@Aza24: I agree, the archives should definitely remain centered. I just tried toying with it using the example of Ars nova, but I can't quite get it to work. Time to call in the HTML big guns—BrandonXLF, any chance you might know what we need to do to Template:Talk header/sandbox to get the auto-archiving line to display correctly (i.e. right-aligned, forcing archives to wrap if needed, but not pushing it to the left) at the test cases here? Once we have the working prototype, I think a TfD might indeed be the way to kick everything into motion. It'll require some additional work to implement, but a merge notice on talk header will certainly attract all the attention we need to make consensus clear. ((u|Sdkb)) talk 03:43, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Tahir R. Andrabi, is not suitable as written to remain published.He is certainly and unquestionably notable by WP:PROF because of the named professorship,. But what you wrote was a directory entry, not an encyclopedia article
An encyclopedia article is not a CV. Make sure the article contains, first, the basic biographical information such as birthyear and birthdplace, then the full sequence of degrees and professional positions in chronological order, with dates. Next, the 5 or so most cited peer-reviewed articles, given in full with coauthors, full name of journals, and links, with the number of citations to each of them from Google Scholar of Scopus or ISI; any national level awards--(not junior awards or awards from their own university) Add major national-level outside positions, such as president of the major national organizations, and any positions of editor-in-chief ; Membership or minor offices in most societies, and service on editorial boards, do not count for much & are better omitted. Very sparse articles attract skepticism. as do those using vague claims and superlatives, or those that list all possible internal and external committes.

There are stubs, and there are sub-stubs. I look at NPP as they come, without checking who wrote them unless it looks like promotionalism. There was no third party source (tho the source there was is reliable enough for the professorship), and no indication of published work to confirm it. I've seen stubs like that get deleted, whether or not they ought to be. The best chance to get an article like this expanded is right at the start, while you have the CV visible.
But I did make. an error--I moved too rapidly--it would have been better for an incomplete new article to have waited day or two before moving to draft. But there's so much pressure from the new articles coming in that it's easy to get impatient. DGG ( talk ) 00:49, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
Welcome to the eighteenth newsletter from the Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
"Add a link" is now being tested in production and is nearing release on our four pilot wikis (Arabic, Czech, Vietnamese, and Bengali Wikipedias). We'll be doing final tests this week and next week, and then plan to deploy to the four wikis either during May 24 week, or May 31 week. After two weeks, we will analyze the initial data to identify any problems or trends. We expect that this feature will engage new kinds of newcomers in easy and successful edits. If things are going well after four weeks, we'll progressively deploy it to the wikis with Growth features.
We are working on project to allow communities to manage the configuration of the Growth features on their own. In the past, communities have needed to work directly with the Growth team to set up and alter the features. We plan to put this capability in the hands of administrators, through an easy-to-use form, so that the features can be easily tailored to fit the needs of each community. While we developed it initially for Growth features, we think this approach could have uses in other features as well. We'll be trying this on our pilot wikis in the coming weeks, and then we'll bring it to all Growth wikis soon after. We hope you check out the project page and add any of your thoughts to the talk page.

Hi Sdkb, this is a test query to a mentor to try out this side of things - please give me a response to try it out! --Nosebagbear (talk) 13:55, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

. ((u|Sdkb)) talk 03:41, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Thank you for the review and specific suggestions regarding notability on the Jim Levy(Author) page. I will take your suggestion and look for secondary sources. Thank you. On the whole Taos, New Mexico has a large art community, per population which is fairly well documented (1920 - 1950). However, documentation regarding its more recent artists (1960-2000) is somewhat lacking. Some artists and writers like John Nichols (writer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Nichols_(writer) have had their works produced by Hollywood etc. so I believe notability is easier to show in those cases, thus I will keep looking. Thanks again for you comments and suggestions as I'm still new to the wiki-world. Taostlt (talk) 21:15, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

It's not worth arguing about jokes, but I thought that other guy's addition to the page was quite amusing. Consider letting it be, even if you don't personally find it funny, we sure did.
In the end, though, it doesn't really matter. It's a great little page, btw, very laugh, much funny.
Also, nice to meet you! Joe (talk) 13:49, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

As you probably know, I like to support articles on notable academics, for there are someo ther editors who tend to be quite skeptical. . You can help by giving the necessary indications of notability in thefirst edit or very soon afterwards in the next hour or so. If you need some additional time, try placing a tag reading ((under construction)) at hte top of the page, which will hold off deletion or draftification for at least a day or so.

Thanks for uploading File:Sweetgreen logo (2018).png. 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) 17:51, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi --Articles about me. Only (talk) 06:06, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi there ... since communication seems to be a completely foreign idea to the powers that be at Wikipedia, and there seems to be no way to "contact" anyone ... I wanted to let someone know how frustrated I have become with the site before I go. I have attempted to edit articles several times and each time, the article reverts back to the way it was previously with no explanation as to why it was reverted. Sad to say, my experience on Wikipedia is that there is ZERO communication to users attempting to contribute ... nothing, nada, zip, zilch. My time and effort in trying to improve content has been a COMLETE waste of my time! ... something I will never be able to get back. I'm not sure why I have kept trying. Regrettably, I am done trying to contribute to this site. It's obvious that the site does not really want people to contribute for the benefit and knowledge of all ... what a terrible disappointment! Sadly, I have become disheartened by the site and will no longer use it nor speak well of it. NJPWN (talk) 03:18, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Sdkb! I was motivated by your nomination for merging the AAN template with the talk header one, as well as the discussion above. I am interested in getting a discussion going to merge a whole bunch of history templates into ((Article history)). Many of these templates listed are already covered by Article history, but it would be best if all or most of those were deprecated in favor of Article history. As many of these templates are also used in other namespaces, it may be necessary to rename it to something like ((Page history)).
List of just some of the templates that have the possibility of being merged:
These are just a handful of templates I've picked out. The main arguments to merge are because of banner blindness and to provide a clearer historical timeline of that page, template, or category.
Do you think you could help develop this discussion or co-nominate it? Many of these templates are template-protected, so I would need an admin or template editor to add merge templates to them. SWinxy (talk) 22:39, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I just noticed this edit by SdkbBot. If AWB genfixes are being bundled with the edit, it will be helpful to indicate it in the edit summary. Otherwise it can be misleading about what the bot is actually doing when seeing diffs like this. Thanks. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 08:59, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Debra Cleaver until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Sorry to disturb you in Independence Day. I’m a historian and not too experienced with Wikipedia. Added quite important facts about the Rhodesian people after 1980 and about the Government of Rhodesia. All under heavy fire as if the bush wars would have never ended… The users just clicked on the most convenient (and least important) links (now deleted because not essential) and started a campaign to return to the version of history which is political, not scientific. Could you have a look, please? Thank you, University Professor for History (talk) 14:09, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Sdkb, I am not trying to start a fight or continue an argument here, but I noticed your WP:SNOW close on Wikipedia talk:No personal attacks#Adding spirituality as a group of people that shouldn't be targeted by personal attacks and just wanted to point out WP:SNOW#A cautionary note, which I feel is borderline relevant here -- two days is not really that long for less-active editors to get involved and it's not clear that their views are going to be aligned with those of very-active editors. It is true that the discussion so far was very one-sided though, so I am not disagreeing with your close, but maybe just a suggestion that it probably wouldn't hurt to leave things like this open for another day or two....

Hello Sdkb:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running until 31 July 2021.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is currently a backlog of over 1000 articles, so start reviewing articles. We're looking forward to your help!
