Welcome to the third issue of the Timeless newsletter, complete with a somewhat dubious explanation of where I've been all this time.
Somewhat dubious explanation of where I've been all this time:
I suffered a rather bad concussion in October, which knocked me pretty much completely out of commission through November, and I'm still recovering even now. One person = bus factor of one, even though it wasn't actually a bus but a very short flight of stairs.
Updates:
Comments on the RfC (MediaWiki wiki RfC page, task) or bugs, or further reports, are always appreciated.
Until next time, hopefully with no further injuries,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Hi Titodutta, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas |
CAPTAIN RAJU(T) is wishing you a Merry Christmas (quite possibly a White Christmas).
This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove.
Spread the Christmas spirit by adding ((subst:User:Matty.007/template/Christmas)) to someone's talk page with a friendly message. If everyone who got this put it on two talk pages, we would have... lots of Christmas spirit! Have fun finding links in this message!

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2019!

News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2018).
On 3 January 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dui Bigha Jomi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that "Dui Bigha Jomi", a Bengali poem written by Rabindranath Tagore, inspired a story which was the basis for the 1953 Hindi film Do Bigha Zamin? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dui Bigha Jomi. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Send New Year cheer by adding ((subst:Happy New Year fireworks)) to user talk pages.
Hi greetings, wish you a prosperous 2019. I thinks a user group should be needed for Indian wikimedians. There are usergroups even for our states like Kerala, Bengal, etc. But I didn't see any for India. Would you mind create a new user group with this scope? Thank you--PATH SLOPU (Talk) 05:43, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Wiki Loves Love (WLL) is an International photography competition of Wikimedia Commons to subject love testimonials happening in the month of February 2019.
The primary goal of the competition is to document love testimonials through human cultural diversity such as monuments, ceremonies, snapshot of tender gesture, and miscellaneous objects used as symbol of love; to illustrate articles in the worldwide free encyclopedia Wikipedia, and other Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) projects. February is around the corner and Wiki Loves Love team invites you to organize and promote WLL19 in your country and join hands with us to celebrate love and document it on Wikimedia Commons. The theme of 2019 is Festivals, ceremonies and celebrations of love.
To organize Wiki Loves Love in your region, sign up at WLL Organizers page. You can also simply support and spread love by helping us translate the commons page in your local language which is open for translation.
The contest starts runs from 1-28 February 2019. Independent from if there is a local contest organised in your country, you can help by making the photo contest Wiki Loves Love more accessible and available to more people in the world by translating the upload wizard, templates and pages to your local language. See for an overview of templates/pages to be translated at our Translations page.
Imagine...The sum of all love!

A tag has been placed on Category:Lists of Odia films by decade requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
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.

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.
