Cite_Q
You might be interested in following this deletion discussion for Cite_Q; it's likely to attract a broader range of editors than will see the Wikidata discussion currently going on, so you might get more information about the reasons why people do and don't like Wikidata.

I don't know if you edit Wikipedia at all, perhaps under another user name; if not, can I ask if you've tried adding or editing citations by the various methods that exist? It's easy for those of us who've been doing it for years to forget that tools like cite journal are not very easy to learn to use; similarly, it may be hard for those who are expert in Wikidata to understand how impenetrable it can appear when you first encounter it. If you can get all the way through the process of adding a raw cite, a cite journal, and a cite_Q, and then try using the watchlists in the two places to keep an eye on your work, that would help you understand the debate. You may already have done this, of course, but if not I think it would help the conversation. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:31, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * thank you or the note. It's helpful to get a better understanding of the nuance in the discussion. I have to admit, my citation experience is feeble in comparison to other editors. I'll spend some time this week with citations and the tools you mention. Again, thanks. CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 15:11, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Let me know if I can help with anything; and I'd be interested in your impressions if you give it a shot. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 15:48, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * , I did not get a chance to work with this last week as I intended. I am scheduling some time this week to investigate. I didn't want you to get the impression that I was brushing you off. :) CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 19:51, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem; and if you don't get to it, that's fine; I'll assume you know how to do your job! I'd just be curious to hear about your experience if you do get a chance to give it a try. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 20:11, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for the food for thought that you left in response to my proposal at Village pump (proposals). It is interesting to know what people outside the English-speaking world think of Wikipedia. Vorbee (talk) 16:12, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Pesky hovercards/popups again
Hi CKoerner ... per your very helpful comments earlier about popups (Recent_user_interface_change_discussion) I see that now that I've used a new browser, I get the popups again, and they still sometimes have no navigation controls. http://geekpic.net/pm-VKQOMW.html My opposition to this is unchanged. Is it still in A/B testing? Did some policy change? Frankly it's awful for those of us with small screens, or the many people with accessibility issues, or those surprised by images they do not want to see (medical, historical, etc). Thanks for suggestions. Jonathan. 82.69.229.22 (talk) 12:36, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Requesting input
Hi, I don't think that my Echo ping that was intended to include you worked as I intended. Please see Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee. ↠Pine  ( ✉ )  17:10, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, MediaWiki said my ping to you was sent. So I hope you see it over in that discussion. Aren't talk pages a pain in the keister wonderful? :) CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 17:06, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Belated holiday greetings


Merry Christmas and happy new year.

2020 recap
Since you're responsible for Diff and maybe the Wikipedia Twitter, can you possibly make something related to the most viewed articles of the year, compiled and commentated by a dedicated crew? (there is also a Medium article by someone who I don't know if it's related to Wikimedia) Thanks! igordebraga ≠ 22:54, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello igordebraga! I hope the new year is treating you well. The Medium article is part of the Foundation Communications work on outreach outside the movement. Medium is a weird social-media-like blog platform. While the article was highlighted on Diff toward the bottom of the page, the target audience for the article was non-Wikimedians. It was shared on social media (one two) as well. Are you interested in maybe creating something more movement-facing for Diff? I'd need some help. :) Here's an idea if you're interested. Take the intro from the report you all have put together and provide a simple list of the top 50 articles? That would be more suited for a blog post and we could link to the full report for more context. Let me know what you think. CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 17:50, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
