Thompson Central Park New York Hotel
Good Morning. My name is Dalton Freitas and I am the executive assistant at Thompson Central Park New York. Please note that our main entrance IS on 56th street and not on 57th. The photo of the Le Meridian is a photo of the hotel next door, and our property is actually barely visible. Thank you.

Dkfreitas (talk) 14:13, 1 December 2021 (UTC) Dalton Freitas (Dkfreitas)
 * @Dkfreitas, thanks for the message, that clarifies the situation a lot. However, I am still confused, since the article says that the hotel was formerly known as the Parker New York (which is visible in the Le Meridien picture). Is that inaccurate and are these actually two separate hotels? – Epicgenius (talk) 14:17, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

@epicgenius - Yes, the former Viceroy Hotel rebranded as a Le Meridian in 2019. That is the hotel next door to us on 57th st. The main body of our property is on 56th street. The image which includes the Le Meridian is primarily of that property. In that photo, our property is only a sliver in the back left side of the photo. Our main entrance has always been on 56th street. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkfreitas (talk • contribs) 14:20, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @Dkfreitas, thanks for clarifying. That is strange, since the article seems to describe the hotels as one property rather than two. Maybe Another Believer (who created the Parker New York article) has a different insight, but if these are two separate properties then ideally there should be two articles. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:25, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @Epicgenius I created the article after staying at the Parker, but I don't know much about the history of either property otherwise. I'm a bit confused as well. I'm glad this article is on your radar, I was actually hoping this one might get the Epicgenius treatment at some point. :) --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:32, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @Dkfreitas I hope you can help clarify things over at Talk:Thompson Central Park New York Hotel. Seems like we could use your help determining if the current article needs to be split or not. Thanks --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:42, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

East Village content falsely added to Alphabet City article
As you may recall, on Oct 11, 2019 you added big chunks of content to the Alphabet City article with the comment "from the East Village article." Much of the edit is probably good, but I've been running into some headscratchers.

The current one is this: "for a short period, the portion of the Lower East Side that is now Alphabet City was one of the wealthiest residential neighborhoods in the city." As the associated citation suggests, this was true for the East Village (parts 2nd Ave and adjoining St. Mark's), but not Alphabet City. The paragraph goes on to support the statement by mentioning a mix of developments outside the neighborhood and speculation around Tompkins Square that resulted in later, lower-priced housing.

There's a lot to go through and I'm no expert, so I wondered if you had any suggestions on editors, yourself included, who could put some focused effort into the article, particularly the historical sections? Unendin (talk) 01:16, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @Unendin, thanks for bringing the topic up. I think some of the additions in the EV/LES/Alphabet City articles will have to be rewritten at some point. The LES page includes a lot of info about the EV as well (north of Houston), and that will need to be fixed in the future, as well as the Alphabet City issue. I don't have the time or resources at the moment to look at the Alphabet City page in depth. But in the meantime, you could post at Talk:Alphabet City, Manhattan and see if anyone else has any feedback or suggestions. – Epicgenius (talk) 05:41, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thx for the reply. I've posted to talk. Makes sense that shifting neighborhoods would cause headaches. It's just that some of this - like pasting population and demographic stats from the East Village article (not your doing!) - seems self-inflicted. Unendin (talk) 01:08, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

There is a mop reserved in your name

 * Your university wikibreak notwithstanding, how do you feel about popping your name at WP:ORCP? I think you'd do well! -- TNT (talk • she/they) 00:27, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @TheresNoTime, thank you very much for the offer. I actually have had some ORCPs in the past, and the main comment I received in my last poll was that I don't spend enough time in admin areas. Aside from that (plus how busy I am in real life), I still have many reservations about my own fitness for adminship. I'll definitely consider another ORCP in the future, though. Epicgenius (talk) 00:36, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Understandable! Real life should definitely come first - I hope to see you at WP:ORCP sometime soon though! -- TNT (talk • she/they) 00:40, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hell, I even watch WP:Requests for adminship/Epicgenius and can co-nom when needed. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:05, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Epicgenius is an excellent content creator, but needs to do some work in places like XfD and CSD (for instance, as he'll be most well-versed with the deletion policies) for a breeze of a run at RfA. I'd personally support him, but there'll be others who wouldn't want to support an editor to pass RfA without doing much "adminy" work.  Java Hurricane  04:47, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * prep sets of DYK is also admin-ish work, i'd be more than happy to help you get started there if you ever wanted! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 06:35, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks everyone. I really appreciate these comments. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:40, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd support as is. The advice to do more XfD work or prep set work are good, but looking at your afd stats I have no concerns about trusting you with the delete button. You already have more participation and better stats than I currently do so if I could clear that bar with my meager stats I think you can too. Best of luck at uni, I for one am looking forward to an RfA when you've got the time! — Wug·a·po·des​ 20:08, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, not only would I support your candidacy for administrator, I'd do so with enthusiasm and great confidence. Rightfully, even more (in keeping with the essay underpinning this message) I join the others in thanking you for all you have done for Wikipedia, past and present. Best regards and be well.--John Cline (talk) 22:08, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

TFA
Thank you today for Surrogate's Courthouse, "about a historic building in Manhattan, New York City, erected in the 1890s and 1900s. The courthouse building, originally the Hall of Records, contains dozens of detailed facade sculptures and a vault-like lobby. Like the neighboring Tweed Courthouse (an FA), the Surrogate's Courthouse was mired in controversy through its construction, especially after the original architect died. The term "horganizing and slatterifying" was used to criticize the new architects. Unlike its neighbor, the Surrogate's Courthouse didn't receive the same level of opposition upon its completion, and it's mostly been used as a surrogate's court for New York state, as well as a hall of records. It is a National Historic Landmark and a New York City landmark, and it continues to be used as a courthouse."! - It's nice to know from an article blurb who wrote it ;) - Music for you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:20, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

New York Stock Exchange Building scheduled for TFA
This is to let you know that the New York Stock Exchange Building article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 24, 2022. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Today's featured article/January 24, 2022, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

We suggest that you watchlist Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me?  11:19, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 22
 Hello everyone, and welcome to the 22nd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter. This issue will be covering new and updated user scripts from the past seven months (June through December 2021).

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script
 * LuckyRename, by Alexis Jazz, is this month's featured script. LuckyRename makes requesting file moves easier, and automates the many steps in file moving (including automatic replacement of existing usage). Give it a shot!

Updated scripts
 * SD0001: hide-reverted-edits has been updated to take into account changes in reversion tools like Twinkle and RedWarn.
 * Writ Keeper: massRollback.js has added a rollback-some option (missed in last issue).
 * ClaudineChionh: SkinSwitcher (a fork and update of Eizen's script) provides an options menu/toolbox/toolbar allowing users to view a given page in MediaWiki's default skins.

Pending requests
 * Mass-patrolling at Special:NewPages
 * Taking up the mantle of an almost completed peer review javascript bot
 * Restore the Wikipedia Citation Tool for Google Books
 * Autohighlighting specific characters (Greek)
 * ...and many more, all available at User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous
 * User scripts/Ranking is a sortable table of Wikipedia's thousand-or-so most commonly used scripts; it includes their author, last modification date, installation count, and sometimes a short description.
 * Toolhub is a community managed catalog of software tools used in the Wikimedia movement. Technical volunteers can use Toolhub to document the tools that they create or maintain. All Wikimedians can use Toolhub to search for tools to help with their workflows and to create lists of useful tools to share with others.

 * draft-sorter sorts AfC drafts by adding WikiProject banners to their talk pages. It supersedes User:Enterprisey/draft-sorter, adding a few features and fixing some bugs.
 * massmove, a modified User:Plastikspork/massmove.js that adds a link to the left column, allows adding and removing both prefixes and suffixes.

 * Jon Harald Søby:
 * diffedit enables editing directly from viewing a diff "when, for instance, you notice a tiny mistake deep into an article, and don't want to edit the entire article and re-find that one line to fix that tiny mistake".
 * warnOnLargeFile warns you if you're about to open a very large file (width/height >10,000px or file size >100 MB) from a file page.
 * JPxG:

 * CopySectLink adds a button to copy the unencoded page title or section path next to each heading.
 * IPAInput allows you to type in IPA symbols by directly looking at an IPA key like Help:IPA/English and clicking on the symbols.

 * share ExpandTemplates url allows for easy sharing of your inputs to Special:ExpandTemplates. It adds a button that, when clicked, copies a shareable URL to your exact invocation of the page, like this. Other editors do not need to have this script installed in order to access the URL generated.

 * Tol:
 * VisualEditor Citation Needed adds a button (under "Insert") in VisualEditor to add a citation needed tag.
 * Venkat TL:
 * ColourContrib color-codes the user contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit the page.
 * Vukky:
 * StatusChanger is a fork of Enterprisey's Status Changer, which adds a UI to the script. (using Morebits, so you'll need to have Twinkle enabled to use it).

All in all, some very neat scripts were written in these last few months. Hoping to see many more in the next issue -- drop us a line on the talk page if you've been writing (or seeing) anything cool and good. Filling in for DannyS712, this has been jp×g. Take care, and merry Christmas! jp×g 07:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
