Women in Red
Hi there, Grumpylawnchair, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you intend to help us reduce to gender gap. I see you have been an active editor since April, working on improvements to existing articles. I hope you will feel inspired to create new articles about women too. If so, you might find it useful to look through some of our essays, perhaps starting with our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 06:57, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey there I saw you make userboxes upon request and I loved your bluey ones. I was wondering can you make 2 userboxes one that says "This user is a fan of The Almighty Bobby Lashley." And another that says "Bobby Who?" Both of them with a picture of him please. If you cant dont worry. Thanks. Shadow (talk) 20:07, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay, will do. Please give me a few days. 

Thank you for being the 10th person to sign my guestbook. You got there just in time after you only every 10 people will get a WikiLove now. Shadow (talk) has given you a cookie!

You can spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a cookie, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

To spread the goodness of cookies, you can add {{subst:Cookie}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message, or eat this cookie on the giver's talk page with {{subst:munch}}!

Rollback granted
Hi Grumpylawnchair. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 20:39, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Congratulations!!!
Hey @ I just saw that you was granted the rollback right congrats. Shadow 345110  (talk)  20:52, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

 * They're coming along fine and I don't know what was with that trout. I warned an editor for disruptive editing and they added that to my talk page. It happens, especially as a recent changes reviewer. <span style="background-color: black; color: white; padding: 2px 3px 1px 3px; Grumpylawnchair ( talk ) 21:11, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

You templated this new user for having a username that implied shared use; the message states that a company name should be qualified by an individual's name -- yet this is already the case. Ought you retract? Dorsetonian (talk) 17:54, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Question
Hey @ how was your wikibreak I forgot to ask. Any ways, I saw that you are part of the Women In Red and something about closing the gender gap I would like to know what exactly is The Woman In Red. Shadow 345110  (talk)  20:38, 19 July 2023 (UTC)


 * It was good. Thanks for asking. Women in Red is a WikiProject aiming to reduce the gap in civerage between men and women on Wikipedia. It does this by primarily making/expanding articles about notable women. Cheers, <span style="background-color:black; color:white; padding: 3px; Grumpylawnchair  ( talk ) 02:47, 20 July 2023 (UTC)


 * @ Do you recommend it for me. If yes then I would love to join it is just that I have loads of drafts waiting to be created but alot of them are men. Am I still able to join and help out in some way? Can you explain it a bit more please? Shadow 345110   (talk)  17:41, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, you can join here. Anybody can become a member. We have a list of ideas of articles, the redlist index, that we try to make as many articles as possible off of. We also have drives. I hope this answers your questions. Cheers! <span style="background-color:black; color:white; padding: 3px; Grumpylawnchair  ( talk ) 04:16, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Depeche Mode Edit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depeche_Mode#Clarke's_departure,_A_Broken_Frame,_and_Wilder's_joining_(1981%E2%80%931982)

I made an edit to correct a typo in the sentence as quoted:

"Daniel Miller informed Wilder that he was needed for the recording of the album, as the core trio wanted to prove they could succeed without Vince Clarke."

The typo states that he -was- needed, but the reality (and according to the book cited) is that he -wasn't- needed for the recording of the album. Otherwise the 'core trio' would not be a 'trio' that would prove they could succeed without Vince Clarke.

This is further validated by the following line: "A non-album single, "Get the Balance Right!", was released in January 1983, the first Depeche Mode track to be recorded with Wilder."

Wilder couldn't have been informed by Daniel Miller to say he was needed for the recording of the album under either circumstances as his inclusion made the recording no longer done by a trio, and thus, the following non-album single "Get the Balance Right" would not be his first track recorded with the band. 198.29.37.110 (talk) 04:31, 8 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @198.29.37.110
 * I'm sorry, I assumed that it was vandalism. I apologize for any inconvience my actions could have caused and I've self-reverted (your edit is now there). <span style="background-color:black; color:white; padding: 3px; Grumpylawnchair  ( talk ) 04:34, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

I am on the monitoring period and I am unactive on Monday until probably 7 September. So I have to revert as much vandalism as possible pretty much until Monday.

The specific wikis are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table. You can learn more about this feature.
 * Octicons-tools.svg In the mobile web skin (Minerva) the CSS ID <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> will be replaced with <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> .

Disambiguation link notification for October 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Walt Whitman Community School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oak Lawn. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:03, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Grumpylawnchair. After reviewing your request, I have&#32;temporarily enabled rollback on your account&#32;until 2023-11-30. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Courcelles (talk) 12:24, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only . Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
 * Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!


 * (, please remind me on my talk page when the temporary permission is about to expire.) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:25, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more.
 * Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months.

Future changes
 * There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
 * The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.

Orphaned non-free image File:Lua de Mel Title Card.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Lua de Mel Title Card.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

About the article of Anson Lo Hon Ting
Hello, I'm a new user of wiki, I have received a note from you about the new page that I made for Anson Lo Hon Ting. Actually, I want to translate the English page of Anson Lo into Spanish, but I don't know how to link to the page together with the English and the other languages together, would you like to tell me how to do that? Lemonade.lamlam (talk) 22:23, 8 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @Lemonade.lamlam You would have to go to the Spanish Wikipedia, and create the page directly there under Anson Lo. I'm not familiar with their policies, so you would have to ask there (they are a different project). Hope this helps. <span style="background-color:black; color:white; padding: 1.5px; Grumpylawnchair  ( talk ) 01:17, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
