Invitation to event: bot, template, and Gadget makers wanted
I thought you might want to know about some upcoming MediaWiki & Wikimedia developers' events (such as the Berlin hackathon in June), where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, extending functionality with JavaScript, the future of ResourceLoader and Gadgets, the new Lua templating system, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing. Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator Sumanah (talk) 14:09, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * By the way, travel subsidies will be available, in case that helps -- feel free to contact me about them! Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 03:03, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Vocea României, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Queen and Sting (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

I noticed you are a beginner-level JavaScript programmer...
I found you listed at Category:User js-1 (probably because you posted the corresponding userbox on your user page), and thought you might be interested in improving your skills by getting involved with developing user scripts, hobnobbing with other JavaScript programmers, and organizing and improving JavaScript articles and support pages.

We do all of that and more at the JavaScript WikiProject.

Scripts undergoing development, and the state of JavaScript on Wikipedia, are discussed on the talk page.

For an overview of JavaScript coverage on Wikipedia, see Draft:Outline of JavaScript and Index of JavaScript-related articles. For everything on user scripts, see User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts.

The WikiProject also organizes every resource it can find about JavaScript out there, such as articles, books, tutorials, etc. See our growing Reference library.

If you would like to join the JavaScript WikiProject, feel free to add your name to the participants list.

Hope to see you there! The Transhumanist 15:52, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

AXN (Australia)
G'day,

Was just wondering why you removed my speedy deletion tag from the article? It did eventually get deleted for WP:CSD anyway, removing the CSD tag just it take longer to get deleted. If someone has re-created an article that has been deleted before, just tag it with so it gets protected from creation. —  IVORK  Discuss 08:31, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, maybe it wasn't the ideal course of action, but I had my reasons.
 * Firstly, I wanted to make sure the deletion took place, since the author of that article has the awful habit of removing all the tags at the top of his (her?) articles. By having a separate discussion thread, I made sure that the admins would still be on the case if that happened. Sometimes it can take several hours/days until someone notices and reverts.
 * I wanted to point out that disrespected the community's decision by re-creating the article right away, with no explanation.
 * On the other hand, I didn't know about salt, so thanks for telling me about it. —    A ndreyyshore    T    C    09:57, 11 Aug 2017 (UTC)

Romanian Top 100
Hi there! I'm the main editor of articles surrounding the topic named above, and I want to thank you for your work on finding new info I couldn't find on the number ones in 2006/7. Please tell me when you're finished with your edits, so that I can take a look at the article and fix things that need to be fixed after your edits. Best; Cartoon network freak (talk) 18:22, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Sunt si eu roman, btw... ;) Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:10, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * (Știu, cred că te-am mai văzut editând articolul despre România la Eurovision anul ăsta 😉)
 * I think I'm done with those years, and 2008 as well. As you can see, there used to be a subpage that showed all 100 songs in the chart. That subpage also used to contain a column named "lw" (last week), which I used in order to determine which songs were number one the previous week in case no other data was available. Unfortunately, midway through June 2008, they stopped updating the website, until July 2010.
 * One example of using the "last week" column is the second time "Smack That" topped the chart (26 February – 4 March 2007). I couldn't find an archive from that week, but I used the 5–12 March chart, where it says that the song was in 1st place the previous week. —    A ndreyyshore    T    C    00:13, 13 Jun 2018 (UTC)

Unreferenced statistics
Hey there! I notice that you've uncommented some dormant code in almost all of the 2021 Eurovision articles. That material isn't referenced, and leaves visible referencing errors in the articles. Are references immediately forthcoming? If so, I'd encourage you to post them soon. I've begun commenting away the material because of the Verifiability policy. -- Mikeblas (talk) 15:26, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * There is always a large influx of data following a Eurovision grand final. For now, I just went through the trouble of getting an important part of that data onto Wikipedia at all and I felt burned out as a result, so I asked for help with adding sources (amongst other things) on the Wikiproject's talk page, since Wikipedia is a collaborative project. I can see that a lot of references are still missing - again, remember that the final was just two days ago and all the national pages are still very much a work in progress. It is too early to enforce WP:V when you could have just helped add the appropriate sources.  A ndreyyshore  🆃︎ 🅲︎  22:06, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Or, you could've kept the unreferenced material commented-away and revealed it when it was complete -- including being referenced. WP:BURDEN, after all. There's nothing here for me to remember; I don't know anything about European popular singing contests in the first place. But I do know that things people leave for later on Wikipeida often don't get done -- the corpus is full of material that might be (or might not be) verifiable ... if only the original editor was more careful than rushed. -- Mikeblas (talk) 00:46, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The "remember" part refers to me saying "following a Eurovision grand final" - it's a very recent event. Also, we have a fairly dedicated community and I'm sure either I or someone else will manage to tidy up those articles soon, in our own time. I am fully aware that content needs to be sourced; I just happen to have a different, less rigid, more gradual editing style than you do, at least in this situation. Not everything needs to be perfect/complete from the get-go. Finally, while you go about commenting out stuff (which I find counterproductive), make sure not to delete the very references you're asking me to provide, like you did here, and then complain about things being rushed.
 * TL;DR - I know that you have good intentions and that you are right in principle, but I can't agree with how you put that into practice. Rest assured though, I do intend to continue what I've started.  A ndreyyshore  🆃︎ 🅲︎  04:49, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I would like to thank you a lot for the tedious work to get all the detailed voting results into the articles.
 * I am completely with Andreyyshore to disagree with your pedantic approach in commenting out the additions. Common sense suggests to at least wait a week before commenting out things. Adding the references is a no-brainer in this case and you would have done the community and the public a better service by doing that rather than forcing other people to make additional edits. --Wikipeter-HH (talk) 13:27, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Nobody is being forced to make additional edits. The references could've been added when the stats blocks were first uncommented, a choice that was made without outside compulsion, as far as I can tell. The references can be added in the same edit as the comment brackets are removed -- an edit not made necessary by me.
 * I don't think there's anything "pedantic" about following WP:V and WP:BURDEN, or insisting that articles don't render with visible referencing errors. This isn't a matter of making things perfect or complete from the start; it's a matter of not making articles worse by adding material that produces rendering errors. -- Mikeblas (talk) 19:34, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
