ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Heads up on pinging on Wikipedia
"Hello Armadillopteryx. I noticed your attempt to fix your ping in this edit. That method does not work. The notifications system only informs a user when you link their username in the same saved edit as you successfully sign your post. A ping cannot be fixed in a later edit by adding a signature you forgot, by fixing your botched signature, or by fixing the user name link. Instead, you have to link the user name and successfully sign in a manner that the software parses as a new line of text. Help:Fixing failed pings has more information about the issues involved and provides suggested methods to successfully perform the fix."

Luckily I was watching the page, but just as a heads up, retroactively editing it a Template:ping doesn't tag the user :) Umimmak (talk) 19:46, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh! Thanks for the heads up :-) This pinging business is new to me. Armadillopteryxtalk 19:49, 24 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Sure :) It worked this time! Umimmak (talk) 19:57, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

I cannot revert Woodensuperman's revert again (three revert rule), so you or other editors will have to step in if you feel strongly. No worries either way. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:27, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't like the present version, but I guess I don't see what reverting it right now would really accomplish; the debate is apparently still very much open on the talk page. I think the most important thing is to just get that discussion to the point where we establish the version that is not to be touched (which will certainly not be this version, seeing as only one editor supports it). TBH the compromise version is my favorite, as alllll the way back in the beginning I had a slight preference for separation by season anyway :-p Armadillopteryxtalk 14:36, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * (Whoops, forgot to ping! ) Armadillopteryxtalk 14:37, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries, was just sharing why I'm not reverting again (at least for now), even though I disagree. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:40, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I understand, and I would do the same in your shoes. Armadillopteryxtalk 14:41, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Update: The article has been restored, so never mind. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:52, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Scott Wilson
Hi, I figured there was a good chance my edits to Scott Wilson's "later years and death" section might get removed because I don't have a 'written' source for that info, but I can share that I'm his son, Scott, and I know that info because I lived with him till he moved to Los Banos. That's probably still not good enough though because anybody could 'claim' to be related to him, but I'm fine if it doesn't qualify. No big deal. Just thought I'd try to add a little more info to his page. Thx — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.247.89.201 (talk) 15:52, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Scott, thanks for your message. I have no reason to doubt you, but Wikipedia's sourcing policy is based on verifiability, not truth. This means that information can only be added if accompanied by a citation to a secondary source, even if the editor is an expert on the material. I also want to recommend that if you want to contribute to Scott Wilson (bodybuilder) in the future, please post an edit request in lieu of making the edits yourself. Since you are the subject's son, it's considered a conflict of interest for you to edit his article directly. You are nevertheless welcome to share comments, sources and requests on the talk page.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Aquaria (drag queen)
Hello! An IP editor keeps changing the Aquaria (drag queen) article. If you don't mind, I could use some help reverting (if they continue editing) because I don't want to get in trouble for reverting too many times, or edit warring. Hopefully editors will see I am just reverting to sourced version of article. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:43, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey! I'm at work and can only check my phone periodically, but I'll monitor this as closely as I can. Armadillopteryxtalk 16:48, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I just reverted one unconstructive edit, but something happened to the ref formatting that I can't fix on my phone. Could you repair that? Armadillopteryxtalk 16:54, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Managed to fix it! Armadillopteryxtalk 19:07, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, just now seeing. I'll take a look to double check. Thanks for your help! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:09, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Discussion at Talk:RuPaul's Drag Race
You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:RuPaul's Drag Race. Nihlus 21:20, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

American
American (album) certainly links to a page that exists, but it's a redirect to a disambiguation page containing a list of albums and other musical topics, leaving the reader to work out which of them mentions the RuPaul song. It seems better to send the reader directly to the album article which mentions the song. The links I introduced are also redirects, but they're NOTBROKEN because they indicates possible future articles. If a song is considered notable or gets discussed in more detail elsewhere, the redirect can be changed in one place to link to the new content. Certes (talk) 23:47, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, whoops! My bad. I looked too quickly and thought that American (album) was actually American (RuPaul album) and couldn't work out why introduce redirects instead of the direct link to the album. I'll WP:TROUT myself and revert my reverts! Armadillopteryxtalk 23:51, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reconsidering. No need for the trout; we've all done this sort of thing and the changes were hardly urgent. Certes (talk) 00:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, I found the problem. American (RuPaul album) has been moved four times this year and was probably called  last time you checked. Certes (talk) 10:52, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, that would make sense! I was fairly sure I located the page before linking to it from any other article, so I bet you're right. Thanks for looking into it! Armadillopteryxtalk 10:58, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Vivacious
Can you please clarify on the WP:RPDR talk page if you'd also like the Vivacious article history restored or not? I think having a request by more than one editor would make the request stronger, if that's in fact your wish as well. Wasn't 100% sure based on your most recent comment, so seeking clarification. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:30, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I don't believe I ever even saw the Vivacious article, so I don't have an opinion about it. I just noticed the IP mentioned was blocked today and thought it a relevant piece of information to add to the discussion. Armadillopteryxtalk 18:41, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , Ah, ok. No worries. Based on the number of keep votes at Articles for deletion/Vivacious (drag queen), I don't really think the article history deletion was necessary. Thanks for your reply. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:43, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
