Speedy deletion of Enturbulation.org
A tag has been placed on Enturbulation.org requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.  role player 22:59, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:12, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Agave, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Navajo (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.

Busy little stinker, aren't they... :) I reported them on the Vandalism Noticeboard. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 19:32, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Ha, yeah. I've been more 'turn the other cheek' and 'WP:AGF' than you've been, but we've been sitting here pushing the same red button.
 * I'm trying to be more that way, but when I see repeated and conscientious vandal edits (it was different names added each time, that took effort) I turn to the Noticeboards. Cap was making edits so fast, I barely had time to post a warning before they hit 5 edits, but they made it to 6!. Best regards, --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 19:44, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

List of gangs in the United States
Hello Anon423, I saw your message on my talk page. According to the page rules, the gangs listed should have articles. Also gangs have to be notable according to the page rules. Almighty Saints is mix race gang, but is mostly a Latino gang. In my opinion, I don't think it should be listed because the page has already to many Latino gangs. I really like what you did by adding references. That should be a new rule. - BlueRedPurpleGreen (talk) 2:46, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright, so I went ahead and put the Almighty Saints in the Hispanic/Latin section. They seem to be rather notable enough - they have their own page. And what is such a thing as too many Latino gangs? I don't know why it should be a consideration to limit how many gangs to list in each ethnic section: As I understand this page, whatever notable gangs exist, should go in the box. Some of the sections are long; some of them have only a few. If you think there should be a cap, by all means make a case. I say we just let them lie. I mean, how was this page put together? I don't think it came from any one definitive source. The most comprehensive single list I found was in my second reference, though it was immensely long and did not distinguish much about notability, and still was missing a whole bunch of them. --Anon423 (talk) 03:09, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Gary Kubiak
I have no idea if you're the person I should be bugging, but the recent changes to Gary Kubiak's article (by PETEYTHEREF) are inaccurate. Gary Kubiak has not, I repeat not, been announced as the head coach of the Denver Broncos. Also, Wikipedia's "scoop" was derisively mentioned on a local radio station, which may have led indirectly to some more inaccuracies being inserted by IPs. I'm not particularly up on the rules and regulations of Wikipedia, so I figured I'd leave this on your doorstep, light it, ring the doorbell, and run away. &#160;~ BizzeeBeever  ( t ) 23:51, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'd said yes to PETEYTHEREF since he only needed autoconfirmed to clear the pending changes gate, and there was only one IP editor's innocuous-looking edit that had triggered the page for review. I figured I was really just saying yes to that IP editor, and if PETEYTHEREF wanted to edit, well, he was autoconfirmed and had a decent editing history, so it wasn't really my job as a reviewer to babysit him.


 * As for now, fortunately, some other people came along and duly fixed it. All I had to do was hit the accept button. --Anon423 (talk) 01:30, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No, actually, I had to do a little more. The diff from the latest good version (your reversion to User:Scalhotrod's accepted) had an added section with a bit that was good, which I referenced, and a bit of speculative implication, which I removed. I think it's alright now. I do invite you to look it over again. --Anon423 (talk) 01:48, 15 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey, if a new claim is made and there's no source added, its gets reverted. Speculation just doesn't belong on WP unless its talked about in "past tense". We have ample time to wait and see when or if something becomes fact and then we can wait for the sources to back it up. Regards, --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 06:22, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, lesson learned. That was ugly. Similarly with Mata Amritanandamayi: I didn't really want to make a ruckus, but from what I copy-edited, that source didn't really say what that snippet did. Not directly. It was sort of implied, so I gave User:Amatulic the benefit of the doubt, especially given an established constructive editing history. But I wouldn't have added it myself had I been writing the article. Alright, I'm going to rewrite what I feel are the important bits of that section, from the two sources given. I feel I've cleaned up some of the wording. At least the references should be good. --Anon423 (talk) 00:05, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

2012
On 2 August 2012, 25-year-old Bihari law student Satnam Singh Mann rushed Amritanandamayi's podium while she was giving blessings at her ashram. He panicking the crowd by screaming, reciting in Arabic according to police. He was subdued by devotees and security guards and handed over to Karunagapally police, who arrested him on charges of attempted murder.

Mats Wilander.
I have read online articles about Mats Wilander stating his father was diagnosed with cancer in '89 and died the following year. And I've read interviews with Wilander himself where he admitted he should have gone to a psychologist over the lack of motivation which changed his career. Unfortunately I cannot remember where I read them but I will research. Can you please tell me how to cite references when I contribute to an article ? Benjisuncle (talk) 01:26, 22 January 2022 (UTC)


 * If you have a URL for the source, you can probably use the automatic citation tool built into the Visual Editor (the editor that lets you work on the formatted page; contrast with the Source Editor, which shows the raw source code, aka wikitext). On desktop at least, you can click the Cite button on the toolbar and paste the URL into the pop-up. For more information, I would first look at User:Nick Moyes/Easier Referencing for Beginners. There's also Help:VisualEditor (for Visual Editor help), and Help:Referencing for beginners (which might be harder to understand than the Nick Moyes version).
 * If you still have trouble, do whatever you can to leave information for others to find your source. (For example, we encourage using citation templates to format references nicely, but a citation in any format, or just a link, or just a title and author, is better than nothing. Someone else can later make it nicer.) You can also leave the URL or other information about the souce on the talk page and ask someone for help.
 * Thanks for being patient. Wikipedia wants all its content to be well-supported by reliable sources; see the policy at Verifiability. Even if you know a statement to be true, since we're generally anonymous, you need to provide an outside source. (And even for editors who are credentialed experts, there's no mechanism for checking that. Everyone needs to provide their sources. There's also a rule against original research, which is any material for which no reliable, published sources exist.) These rules are especially stringent for biographies of living persons. – Anon423 (talk) 06:27, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Wikimedians for Sustainable Development - December 2023 Newsletter
This is our twenty-seventh newsletter, a sort of year-in-review for 2023.

Dear Wikimedians for Sustainable Development,

As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that has been an uneven year for our user group. While the journey has been marked by some truly inspiring events, most of our efforts have been largely uncoordinated and the user group hasn't been the support it could have been. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope and a world of potential for 2024.

Highlights of 2023:


 * Newsletters Galore: We kicked off the year with zeal, sharing updates and inspiration through four newsletters. The number of things happening in the movement is astounding, but we need to rethink the format of the newsletter going into the next year.


 * Growing Strong: The Wikimedians for Sustainable Development family welcomed 33 new members in 2023. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire us, and we look forward to nurturing this community spirit in the year ahead.


 * Wikimania Talks: Our voices echoed far and wide at Wikimania, where several members of our community took the virtual stage to share insights and ideas about everything from Wikipedians-in-Residence's to open data. Your contributions showcased our commitment to sustainable development on a global scale.


 * Content Creation Magic: Throughout the year, our extended community demonstrated incredible dedication to expanding the knowledge base on Wikipedia. Countless hours were spent creating and curating content that aligns with our mission, contributing to a more sustainable digital ecosystem.


 * Campaigning hard: We saw a large variety of campaigns, from writing challenges to editathons. The willingness to experiment with new formats and partners, as well as learning from past efforts, shows great promise for the future.

Acknowledging Challenges:

While we celebrate these achievements, we acknowledge that 2023 presented its fair share of challenges. A lack of global coordination reminded us that the road to sustainable development is not always linear. However, it is precisely these challenges that fuel our determination to work together more cohesively in the coming year and proof that the user group is needed.

Hopeful Anticipation for 2024:

As we turn the page to 2024, let's carry forward the lessons learned and the successes celebrated. We are optimistic that, with renewed energy and a collective commitment, we will overcome obstacles and create an even more impactful and connected Wikimedians for Sustainable Development community.

Here's to a year of collaboration, growth, and making a lasting impact on the world through our shared passion for sustainability. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and pave the way for a brighter future.

Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Warm regards, User:Ainali, User:Daniel Mietchen

PS. We have started writing our yearly report, please add your activities to it.

Hey
I noticed you have been editing some health-related articles recently. I don't know if that's just where your copyediting took you or if you're interested, but just in case it's an area that you like editing, a bunch of us hang out at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine, and you're welcome to join us. It's also a good place to ask questions about finding good sources for medical content or writing style. Feel free to put it on your watchlist, or stop by to say hello some time. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:49, 15 January 2024 (UTC)


 * It's mostly opportunistic copyediting as I see things to fix, but I suppose that reflects my present interests being somewhat in that area. I'm hesitant to wade in as a non-expert, but thanks for the mention. I'm happy to copyedit articles or provide a generalist Wikipedian's opinion on matters. —&hairsp;Anon423 (talk) 05:09, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
