Single purpose cookie
As many of us know, and you have said, "Wikipedia doesn't use cookies (for various reasons) to denote different users, so has no idea who has/hasn't donated."

I get that WP doesn't want to use cookies to denote different users.

Has it been suggested that a user could be asked "do you consent to WP placing a single cookie on this computer to indicate that you do not want to be asked for donations?"?

Would this be too much against WP's policies?

Has this been suggested and rejected already? It seems like an innocuous use of one cookie.

Thanks. 73.127.147.187 (talk) 00:31, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

about national football championship.
i think there were some misunderstanding and both pages shared same name so that mistake took place. anyways the old page now has its properties as it was before. the updated details of later page is now moved with a change in name. but the new page is on deletion despite having Citations and all. can you look into this please and we can come into a peaceful solution. DaDeadzombie (talk) 16:49, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

about the conflict of two pages with same name i.e national football championship.
yeah as both pages had similar name there has been a mistake that took place from my side. but now i think i have managed to separate both pages. the previous standing page is now back and remains as it is. and the new added details with proper citations and all are moved to a new page. the page was on deletion which it should not be in. anyways i hope the conclusion of the conflict is peaceful. you can do check from your side if there's anything wrong. peace ☮️ DaDeadzombie (talk) 16:57, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * How is this overarching topic about the series of national championships independently notable from the individual events we have articles for? You are not entitled to remove WP:AfD tags from pages. You should comment on the deletion discussion. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:12, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

i think the conflict between both Pages is resolved.
National Football Championships are important tournaments in Indian footballing calendar organized by indian football federation. the page should remain as it features all the important informations that are organised together. i think the page should remain you can reverify yourself from the given citations, and remove the deletion tag. DaDeadzombie (talk) 17:17, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It isn't independently notable of the events. You have cited one specific primary source. Do not reply here, do so on the deletion discussion. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:25, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Reverted images on Squid Game
I'm not sure as to why you reverted the images I placed back because because none of them are copyrighted. Those images have been on there until someone came in and added png files. Btspurplegalaxy 🗩 🖉 13:31, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have removed all of the images. Wikipedia doesn't host images of things you want. You would need a suitable WP:FUR for them. I don't see how you could, as a free alternative can always be found. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:34, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Stephen Maguire GA nom
Hi Lee, I hope you had a good Christmas. I've been having a go at Stephen Maguire's article the past week or so (nothing better to do!?) as I noticed you'd nominated it a while ago and it was sitting waiting for promotion. I just wanted to help get it to GA. I've now finished what I was doing and I've pinged the reviewer on your behalf (hope you don't mind). I'm sorry to hear you've been unwell, and I hope you are getting better. It would be nice to get this article promoted, would at least be one less thing to worry about! Cheers, Rodney Baggins (talk) 18:55, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Good work. Up to the reviewer at this stage. Thanks for your concern. I should be getting better, I'm a bit fed up of not being well. No COVID, so no dramas on that front. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:11, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
