My bot will be busy today fixing 2470 talk pages (e.g., [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:70sushisushi&diff=prev&oldid=1007110860 this edit]) where the deleted Template:Border-radius was added.

It looks like you've mailed out a lot of the QW2021 notices. I'm looking for the template that is responsible for this. Normally, templates that are substed onto a page contain their own name inside a hidden Html comment for transparency, but this one doesn't. Can you point me to it, please?

Sixth borough
Hi, Pharos. Long time no see. Hope you're doing well. I noticed you made some additions to Sixth borough, some of which was indeed supported by the cited New York Times article (like the "Lower Lower Manhattan" bit), but the mention of T. Kennard Thomson was not, so I reverted it. I tried searching through that NYT article, and couldn't find mention of him, nor was he mentioned anywhere else in the Wikipedia article.

possible identity theft?
I was unable to log into 2021/Main Page as User:DavidMCEddy a few minutes ago. I've been "User:DavidMCEddy" since 2010-03-26 in many Wikimedia Foundation projects. I tried to reset my password for WikiConference:User:DavidMCEddy and couldn't. So I registered WikiConference:User:LauraEckenberg. It accepted that.

I'm writing you, because if someone else is actually using WikiConference:User:DavidMCEddy, I would consider it identity theft. It's probably just something silly in the User ID management in WikiConference North America. However, I felt a need to ask about it.

Thanks for all you do to try to increase access to the sum of all human knowledge. DavidMCEddy (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

The system would not let me vote
Per your request, "This is the last day to vote", I reviewed and ranked the 72 candidates I found with statement. In trying to enter my ranks, I could not find some of the candidates on the list. After ranking roughly half of them, I tried to submit my votes. It said I had to log in to vote. I tried to log in using my usual login. It did not accept that. Then it said, "You do not need to be logged in to vote."

If the number of votes seem reasonable and there are few complaints like this, please ignore. Otherwise, I will testify that (a) the voting system was very hard to use, and (b) it seemed not to accept my vote. DavidMCEddy (talk) 01:33, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Proposed deletion
I think you created this article that I wanted to propose for deletion. Of course, I'm open minded to alternative opinions and will remove the proposed deletion if there is not consensus. What do you think?

You might also notice I deleted some weak newer citations that were added since you created the article some years ago.

Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you.Vizjim (talk) 09:26, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Help organizing edit-a-thons in Kansas City
Thanks for your many valuable contributions to Wikimedia Foundation projects.

I want to organize Wikidata edit-a-thons in the Kansas City (KC) metro area to make it easy to create and maintain local directories of different things. I'm involved with two different groups that want to do things, for which I think this is part of a in ideal solution: For directories of (a) local news sources and (b) organizations in the greater KC metro area concerned with peace, justice, environment, and human rights.

Secondarily, I'm currently the primary content producer for, a half-hour weekly show on a local affiliate of the Pacifica radio network of community radio stations.

I've done the following with zero responses so far:


 * Posted a general request for help with the technical details of using Wikidata for something like this to Wikidata:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Creating directories using Wikidata
 * Posted a request for local collaborators to the talk page (link above) associated with a Wikipedia article on Meetup/Kansas City. It links to a list of 352 users, only 5 of which have been added since 2012

Ziski Putz suggested I ask you, because you've done similar things in NYC and helped organize the recent WikiConference North America (Thanks!). (You may remember me: I'm Spencer Graves.  I've met you at previous WMF conferences.)

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, DavidMCEddy (talk) 14:42, 18 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I'd welcome you to participate in our US / North America calls this months, tonight and Monday night of next week: WALRUS/December 2022. In addition, I can set up some time to confer with you one-on-one and share some wiki-outreach tips. Pharos (talk) 21:07, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Pharos!

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 18:36, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
