Agriculture companies by year
Hi Ceyockey

I have proposed that Category:Agriculture companies established in 2004 and 25 other similar categories, at least some of which you created, be merged to by-decade categories.

The discussion is at WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 February 2, where your comments would be welcome. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:53, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Sub-title to an article?
In the mobile view of Arthur C. Lundahl page, it says "Arthur C. Lundahl" as the title, and below this title, it reads "Organiser of IMINT and an arial-photography expert". I always edit in source code, but i mostly edit from my mobile. Would you please tell me how to add/edit sub-title? Thatnks a lot. usernamekiran (talk) 00:08, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I looked into this and found that the 'subtitle' is from the description value in the wikidata record for the person. See https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4798169 . --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 03:28, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * User:Ceyockey thanks a lot. But how can one use it? I mean, if i want to add/edit that info of some other page, then how should i do it? usernamekiran (talk) 09:26, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Take a closer look at the page I linked; there are 'edit' pencils there to contribute or change info. I've not edited myself as I've not had a real usecase which needs that, but you have a significant usecase. Go for it. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 00:42, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * thanks a lot for the help. i apologise for the delayed reply. I found how to use it, after a few minutes from my previous reply. It is a little complicated though. The terminology, and MO is totally different. I edited John J. Hicks by creating lables on wikidata.

Serious issues with TemplateData of Cite patent
vWhile I appreciate your hard work, I just wanted to point out there were some serious issues with the TemplateData you added to Cite patent. I have fixed it mostly: seen here. The issue had essentially rendered the template useless in Visual Editor.

I know this is not your first day and you have a lot more experience on Wikipedia than I. I just point it out in case there are other templates in which the same error may have been made. &mdash;አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 08:56, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing out my errors. I don't do template work frequently and it's certainly possible, as you show, that I've screwed up several things.  I know that in one template, I need to revise the labels used in Visual Editor as they are not consistent with those used in many other templates.  Thanks for fixing the template.

list of unusual deaths
Hello, I recently removed the death of Isadora Duncan, 1927; from list of unusual deaths because her death is not unusual. But my edit was reverted. Even after providing satisfactory citations/sources, the death of Isadora is not being removed. What do you think further steps should be? talk page of unusual deaths Thanks. —usernamekiran (talk) 08:09, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of an image
Hello, it has been long since we last communicated and hence i find it a little uncomfortable to make the request. But as an admin, would you please delele ? It is my photo, uploaded by myself. I want to delete it out of privacy concerns. I requested for deletion, but it is taking time. Would you please delete it? I apologise for making this request.

PS: are you active in JFK and related articles? —usernamekiran (talk ) 00:08, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

... I have admin rights on the en.wikipedia, but not on wikimedia.commons. I would delete it for you if I could. I have rights to move it, but not delete it. Commons Admins > https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Commons_administrators. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 01:17, 18 March 2017 (UTC) P.S. no, I'm not active on JFK-related articles.
 * thanks. I thought you were active regarding JFK. Maybe you did only one or two edits. Actually, we also talked on Talk:QKENCHANT shortly after I created the article. Do you know any admin that is active on the articles related to JFK and his assassination? Thanks again. —usernamekiran (talk ) 03:39, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Helpful contribution
Hi User:Ceyockey, since you've edited it before, could you make a contribution to Maiorana page please? That the name is Norman French in origin, this source Della Calabria illustrata says something like: the name changed from Marogana (or Marogano) to the more easily pronounceable Maiorana (or Maiorano), possibly influenced by folk etymology (page 326). On that page the book also states that the fleur-de-lis in the coat of arms of the family also indicates a Norman origin. I just don't do edits on that scale, because more than likely no one will edit the page for many months, leaving my mistakes (that become Wikipedia's mistakes) on show. You'd just have to change categories to Norman and "Maiorana is an Italian surname" to "Maiorana is a Norman French surname" (Good examples of Norman names are Banister (surname) and Molyneux). Hope you can help, thanks.--Theo Mandela (talk) 11:02, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Invitation to beta-test IABot
Hello Ceyockey! I would like to invite you to help beta test the interface for InternetArchiveBot. IABot is a bot designed to help mitigate link rot on Wikipedia. Users can control the bot by using a Management Interface that was designed to be integrated with and similar to Wikipedia (For example, only autoconfirmed users can run the bot; on-wiki administrators have admin access on the tool; user permissions on the tool are flag based; logs are kept; etc.)

If you'd like to help out, feel free to give the interface a go to check for bugs/anomalies/other weird things and send your feedback to Cyberpower678, the bot operator. Again, the interface is at http://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot/ (If it's down for maintenance right now, it'll be back up shortly). If you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message. Thanks, — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 22:51, 21 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the invitation. I am interested.  Curious ... there is already an automated submission of links to Wikipedia, as I understand; not sure how it is implemented, but is is fully automatic.  How would this improve on that fully automatic method?  If you are not familiar with this method, I'll look around for some documentation on it's implementation and governance. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 03:07, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Are you referring to InternetArchiveBot. It is an intelligent, fully autonomous, bot that crawls Wikipedia and fixes dead links.  The interface allows you to summon the bot on to pages you want it to check immediately, rather than having to wait for the bot to eventually get around to it.  It has numerous tools that work with InternetArchiveBot, that helps it improve reliability of the bot and make it more successful in the future.— CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 12:13, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Organizational founder
Twelve years ago, you commented on the lack of a place to direct the entry related "a person who created a company or business or school". I took a while to get around to it, but we're off to a start with Organizational founder. bd2412 T 03:30, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Invitation to Admin confidence survey
Hello,

Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.

The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.

To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.

We really appreciate your input!

Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

Should MoS shortcut redirects be sorted to certain specific maintenance categories? An Rfc has been opened on this talk page to answer that question. Your sentiments would be appreciated!  Paine Ellsworth   put'r there  18:29, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
