Thanks, MPGuy2824! I don't think i realized I had ended up reviewing quite that much in the past month. Skynxnex (talk) 20:05, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Skynxnex,

I’m reaching out as part of a Cornell University academic study investigating the potential for user-facing tools to help improve discussion quality within Wikipedia discussion spaces (such as talk pages, noticeboards, etc.). We chose to reach out to you because you have been highly active on various discussion pages .

The study centers around a prototype tool, ConvoWizard, which is designed to warn Wikipedia editors when a discussion they are replying to is getting tense and at risk of derailing into personal attacks or incivility. More information about ConvoWizard and the study can be found at our research project page on meta-wiki.

If this sounds like it might be interesting to you, you can use this link to sign up and install ConvoWizard. Of course, if you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message.

If you have any questions or thoughts about the study, our team is happy to discuss! You may direct such comments to me or to my collaborator, Cristian_at_CornellNLP.

Thank you for your consideration.

Wood science - Hello! I am a new user in the Wikipedia; could you please check and revise this new article I made? Thanks much in advance. G-Lignum (talk) 15:36, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @G-Lignum, I'll try to take a look when I have time and decide to. What's its relationships with Draft:Science of Wood, which it seems you also started? I tentatively think that it is a good topic for Wikipedia. Thanks for the note. Skynxnex (talk) 17:40, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much. This, Wood science, was made entirely with my own words; for the Draft (it is for deletion), please see & check the Talk page. I am a new user in the English Wikipedia, but I am learning fast .. !! Thanks for your attention. G-Lignum (talk) 18:54, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm addressing you because you're the one who moved this site to draft space. The author restored it quite quickly. The article in my opinion is quite suspicious, looking like a hoax to me. To my knowledge, there was no such battle, but there was a pogrom of the Polish population by UPA units in the village of that name, on that day. The language is very controversial, striking above all is the description of the massacres of the Polish population as "Volhynian justice and revenge in 1943-1946". Cheers Marcelus (talk) 23:48, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note, Marcelus. Since it was moved back so quickly draftifying it again is at least discouraged now. The sourcing seems a bit vague. If there's no improvement or discussion on the talk page going to AFD makes sense, since it seems probably too complex for a straight CSD nomination. I'll try to look again when I feel up to it but I am hampered by my lack of either language. Skynxnex (talk) 02:50, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I received a message from you that "The page Teaching quantum mechanics has been reviewed". Can you help me understand what this message means? I've not seen it before. Johnjbarton (talk) 20:55, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Johnjbarton, you can read Wikipedia:New pages patrol for more details. But briefly, new pages are put into a queue for a reviewer to look at and decide if a page should be nominated for deletion, moved to draft space, tagged for fixes, or marked as approved and removed from the queue. I happen to look that page and didn't see any obvious problems and was a good topic so I "approved" the page (which really just means it's removed from the queue. Myself or later editors are free to bring up problems they see.)

If it's a recent page or a very new editor I'm more like to leave a personal note. Let me know if something isn't clear or if you have any other questions! Skynxnex (talk) 23:49, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Johnjbarton (talk) 00:08, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I recently fixed the page for the surname Cruddas, which had been a bit bolloxed up by the fellow at IP address 2a00:23c6:4d85:3901:a4b2:ff31:d928:2c01. See my comments on the talk page for that IP address, if you are wondering at all. Just wanted to let you know, as you have made contributions there. Cheers. 144.121.24.154 (talk) 00:07, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. It'd be cool if some sourcing could be found for it. Skynxnex (talk) 02:32, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for moving my second and third sandboxes. I'm a total nubie and I'm still trying to figure things out around here. I couldn't figure out how to create a second sandbox, and when I read about it, and then attempted it, nothing seemed to happen and I didn't know if it worked or not. I suppose I'll figure it all out eventually. Th74 Th74 (talk) 20:37, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, @Th74 I understand things can be a bit tricky. I find the subpage linking documented at m:Help:Links/en and m:Help:Subpages a bit tricky to do so I tend to just use full paths in my links in my user space, often. You can always visit directly a page and start from there, so if you wanted to make say, sandbox5, in your user space you can just visit User:Th74/sandbox5 and start it by clicking on "Create source" and pasting ((user sandbox)) (see Template:User sandbox for options) at the top if you want the sandbox header. Let me know if you have any other questions. Skynxnex (talk) 14:05, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Skynxnex:

Hello there! would it be possible for you to help translate the page Icetre into another language per the Wikipedia translator? I am unable to do so on my end, I don't have the privileges. If you can assist with this then please let me know, thank you. Bunkytrap34 (talk) 00:50, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bunkytrap34, I've never used the content translation tool and am not familiar enough with any other language to feel comfortable assisting you. Sorry I can't help. Skynxnex (talk) 02:02, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, thanks for that ...was waiiting for citation bot but possibly goofed the formatting. I've been quiet for a couple of years Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:09, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Casliber, also possible the bot just hadn't gotten to it yet. I sometimes forget all the tasks there's various bots doing. Thanks for the note. :) Skynxnex (talk) 15:06, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skynxnex, a deletion review for King K. Rool was conducted at the request of an editor. The consensus was that the original debate was correctly closed, however there is potential new information to consider. As a participant in the original AfD, I invite you to participate in the new AfD if you would like. The new AfD is located at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/King K. Rool (2nd nomination); please also see my comments at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2024 February 19. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 23:29, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
