Note: Please check the above template for what time it is in my location before sending a message as I may be asleep.
Note 2: When it is April fool's day, DO NOT TROUT ME as an April Fool's joke. In the past I had a trout button which I removed due to persistent abuse of it. If you trout me on April Fool's Day I will revert you and ask that you do not do it again.
Note 3: Any comments here regarding a vandal or from a blocked user that I was WP:AGF will be archived once I ensure there is nothing left to say per WP:DENY.
Note 4: If I remove your comment and you add it back, I will revert you and warn you for doing so. If you do it again after that then I will report you for harassment. This crap has gone on for way too long and I've become less and less tolerant of it. Removing comments from my own talk page is perfectly allowable per WP:OWNTALK.
Update![edit]
This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last provided an update on what's going on. So, here's a quick update on my life and account. I still have work so I'm still not going to be nearly as active as I used to be, however I will try and maintain a somewhat regular activeness here on Wikipedia. I do have a mobile device but uh, mobile editing sucks so I probably will only use it for small edits rather than big ones. I'm not sure how active I'll be so for now I'm keeping my mentor status as away. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 19:54, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Good to see you back around. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 20:31, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Wolf. I'll add a reference to the story on James Dyson and repost. Didn't realise that everything needs a reference.

Question from Paklover11 (02:44, 17 May 2024)[edit]
Hi, I know this is sort of random, but I have been editing articles about Mongolia, and my Wikipedia homepage says I have no edits. I would like to get edits, so I can write Wikipedia pages and have them approved. How can I do this, thank you, --Paklover11 (talk) 02:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Paklover11: Stats on your homepage don’t matter, because other people don’t see those. Even beginners can get articles accepted if they conform to standards. Just start with easy suggested edits on your homepage to learn! Rusty4321 talk contribs 02:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Question from Sdjewishworld (22:21, 22 May 2024)[edit]
Hello Blaze.... I'm the editor and publisher of San Diego Jewish World which I bought back from Jacob Kamaras at the beginning of 2024. Whoever wrote the article about San Diego Jewish World has not updated it. SDJW may be found at www.sdjewishworld.com Can you or a designee update the article? I understand that people involved in the article should not be the editors. Thanks, Don --Sdjewishworld (talk) 22:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @Sdjewishworld: Sure! I’m not Blaze, but I’ll see if I can add a paragraph to the article when I get around to using my computer. By the way, we mostly prefer secondary sources. Rusty4321 talk contribs 14:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Rusty4321: I didn't bother responding cause they were blocked for their username. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 22:10, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
Question from NebulaNexus on Modernism (21:03, 25 May 2024)[edit]
So in this article there is a within Wikipedia link to an article that does not exist. Is it best to just remove this link, add a link to a website outside of Wikipedia, or is there another course of action I should take? --NebulaNexus (talk) 21:03, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @NebulaNexus: Per WP:ELBODY you should not add a link to an external website. If it’s obviously an incorrect link to an article that does exist you can change the link or create a redirect. A red-link probably means that someone thinks there should be an article on this but has no time to create one, and so it would be safe to remove them if you think the subject won’t pass WP:GNG or some other guideline.

Tech News: 2024-22[edit]
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- Several bugs related to the latest updates to the UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons have been fixed. For more information, see T365107 and T365119.
- In March 2024 a new addPortlet API was added to allow gadgets to create new portlets (menus) in the skin. In certain skins this can be used to create dropdowns. Gadget developers are invited to try it and give feedback.
- Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration. Interface editors should check the rendering on mobile devices for aspects related to the classes:
.collapsible
,.multicol
,.reflist
,.coordinates
,.topicon
. Further details are available on replacement CSS if it is needed.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 May. It will be on all wikis from 30 May (calendar). [1][2]
- When you visit a wiki where you don't yet have a local account, local rules such as edit filters can sometimes prevent your account from being created. Starting this week, MediaWiki takes your global rights into account when evaluating whether you can override such local rules. [3]

Question from BasilMasil (18:25, 29 May 2024)[edit]
So, if I edit something very small, I feel guilty about messing with it. --BasilMasil (talk) 18:25, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I just submitted a new article for review, but I'm honestly horrible at editing Wikipedia. Do you think you could take a look at my draft? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:The_Voices_Four --Werf55 (talk) 21:07, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
