ArbCom elections are now open!
MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:21, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Signpost exit poll
Dear Wikipedian, you recently voted in the ArbCom election. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates?

If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.

All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian

The questionnaire
Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide not to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is not well-posed" / "other: please specify". Although the Signpost cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.

If you choose to answer on-wiki, your answers will be visible to other Wikipedians. If you choose to answer via email, your answers will be sent unencrypted over the internet, and we will do our best to protect your privacy, but unencrypted email is inherently an improper mechanism for doing so.

The 10,000 Challenge
Hi, at The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:04, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Prichard-Jones baronets, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page County of Anglesey. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest
Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.

Years in Wales
Recommend you check up on the recently closed RFC at WP:YEARS, concerning the topic-in-question. GoodDay (talk) 03:50, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Exactly what is it, you're attempting to do on the Year of Wales articles? GoodDay (talk) 04:04, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * (talk) What are you trying to do? It appears that you are taking a Canadian Monarchist POV and trying to enforce it on articles about Wales! I am a republican and a Welsh nationalist, but I accept that the person who was Prince of Wales and the person who was Princess of Wales, were important to the identity of Wales in their time and I have included both on similar articles about Wales in Welsh | 1864 yng Nghymru. Your argument about who was the Monarch in Canada at the time doesn't make sense in the Welsh context, because everybody in the UK (clearly not the Commonwealth) knows that the Prince of Wales is the eldest son of the monarch, and the heir apparent. Forcing your Canadian POV onto Welsh history doesn't help any article! AlwynapHuw (talk) 04:39, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't know what you're ranting about. GoodDay (talk) 04:55, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

You do know what I am "ranting about" You are a Canadian Royalist who is trying to abuse Welsh history articles in order to promote your own agenda!AlwynapHuw (talk) 05:28, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm a Canadian republican & no, I don't have a clue what you're ranting about. GoodDay (talk) 05:30, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

GoodDay :Take your personal Canadian politics out of articles about Wales. Like it or not the Princes and Princesses of Wales existed (unfortunately), they were important in Welsh history in the 19 and early 20c. They were important in the history of many Welsh institutions. As opposed to the monarchy and the fake Prince of Wales as I am, you can not exclude them from Welsh history articles, such as Wales in "year". The person who was Prince of Wales is important at that time, and I can't fathom why you are trying to exclude him for the incumbents list.

In 1979 I was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm to Prince Charles, by throwing a full can of beer at him in Aberystwyth, I told the police that they would have a hard job proving that because I could find hundreds of witnesses to say that I would never waste a "full" can on the *****. The charges were dropped. I am no fan of the institution, but accept that it exists, and the incumbency is important to "years in wales articles". What's your problem?AlwynapHuw (talk) 06:36, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Perhaps will explain consensus to you, concerning the RFC, which clearly calls for the deletion of prince/princess of Wales from the 'incumbent section' of the Welsh Year articles. GoodDay (talk) 12:41, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

GoodDay No consensus was arrive at when this was last discussed. (see []). Where there is no consensus for change, there should be no change AlwynapHuw (talk) 17:22, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * My goodness. Read the RFC closing editor's remarks. Consensus to delete prince/princess of Wales. No consensus to add or delete the British monarch. GoodDay (talk) 17:24, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
