Please stop undoing my changes, you are a bully. Everything I posted is factually correct.

RE: King of Friday's Men
I added inline citations. Is the problem considered solved? Starlighsky (talk) 02:23, 13 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi! Looks like you've got inline citations for everything apart from the sections "Abbey Theatre Productions" and "Characters". The former of those certainly needs a citation. Also, you cite Wikipedia for references #2 and #8. Per Wikipedia is not a reliable source, we don't cite articles to other Wikipedia articles. If you want to use the information found on those other articles, you need to use the references the articles are cited with rather than the articles themselves. Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 02:34, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that as well. I am fixing it at this very moment. Starlighsky (talk) 02:43, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Karl Narasky (05:40, 14 January 2024)
Hi, happy to meet you. My question is; if you edit in one place does that correct the error in every place it's mentioned? --Karl Narasky (talk) 05:40, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, welcome to Wikipedia! When you edit an article everybody who looks at that article will also be able to see that change, but it is not transferred between articles. Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 09:05, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Moving page
I have added references to 1766 in russia so could you check it and move it back Changeworld1984 (talk) 18:57, 15 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi! You recreated the page after it was draftified, so the article doesn't need moving anywhere. Thanks for adding those references! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 18:59, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Actually I also tried moving the page and it showed that both destination have same name so I assumed you put some restriction. Changeworld1984 (talk) 19:02, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

deletion of Doug Belshaw page
Doug's work in leading organisation in web literacy (Mozilla and Moodle) alongside a current leader in open badges and his PhD and subsequent work in a very current field digital literacy, alongside his Book which although self published ( this is in connection to his work of open practice) I think information on him and his field of expertise is worthy to be included in Wikipedia. Apologies I wasnt clear in my initial edit why I was created the page - does that help AProcter GB eng (talk) 16:48, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Courageous Conversations
I would like to correct errors included on Renee Hobbs page about her federal grant from the Department of Homeland Security.

/* Censorship & Propaganda Controversy */  I would like to remove false and misleading information from the poor-quality source (Media Research Center and Daily Wire) and replaced it with more reliable information from the Boston Globe and Providence Business News.

Courageous Rhode Island

When the U.S. federal government identified media literacy as a strategy to help reduce the fear and hate that leads to violence, Professor Hobbs developed Courageous Rhode Island.[1] Three programs included:

Courageous Conversations: dialogue and discussion program for adults, addressing topics including preventing violent extremism; hate speech, free speech and censorship; conflict entrepreneurs, influencers; and preventing radicalization.

Courageous Professional Development: a program for middle-school, high school and college educators exploring how to integrate media literacy, active listening, kindness and compassion, and community engagement.

Courageous Youth Media Contest: a program for middle-school, high school, and college students involving media production in print, video, audio, and graphic design.

Of the 22 programs held for Courageous Conversations, 81% of participants reported that they were able to use what they learned in the program in everyday life.

On January 17, 2024, The Media Research Center, "one of the most active and best funded" conservative media outlets, published a report on Courageous RI that is critical of the use of federal funds for anti-disinformation education programs, accusing the program of political bias.[2] Within days, the conservative media ecosystem re-published their report to dozens of right-wing websites.

 * I looked at some of your recent AIV and AFD reports. I think you'd do well with the tools. I'm not sure if you're interested in working at the noticeboards, but I'll say that the tools are pretty helpful on the content side: deleting copyvios, blocking obvious vandals, changing long-forgotten protections so you can move stuff.

HMS Beaulieu
Are you still intending to put HMS Beaulieu up for FAC? I noticed you've stopped polishing it. --Ykraps (talk) 07:45, 25 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, I don't have anything left on my to-do list for Beaulieu, am just waiting for the right moment to nominate now. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 12:19, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I have some comments and was wondering whether to leave them on your talk page or save them for the review. If you are posting it soon, I would prefer to wait. I know that seems counter-productive but I dislike turning up at FAC and supporting without having anything else to say. I have seen others do this and it always makes me wonder how much consideration they’ve given nomination. --Ykraps (talk) 15:52, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Hello, welcome to Wikipedia! I'll answer both of your questions here. If you want to learn how to create a new article your best place to start will be at this page, which provides you with a basic introduction. Please be aware that when deciding on whether something should have an article on Wikipedia, editors follow a strict policy of notability. When it comes to which sources you should use, they should always be reliable and verifiable. There is a list here of sources that editors frequently use, labelling whether they're appropriate or not. I have no experience with Persian sources, but if you're worried about whether a particular source is reliable or not you can post about it here.

why

 * I reverted your edit because you provided a wholly uncited paragraph claiming that the President of Peru taught Mussolini how to create the National Fascist Party. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 17:09, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Do you want to take responsibility?
I have responded to the edit block and am deeply ashamed at your stance as it is clearly an outmoded viewpoint or you've been lazy and haven't really looked at what you're doing. Wikipedia is a useful sight and my edit was intended to keep it this way. Failure to include my edit in future will be looked into outside of Wikipedia and management will be looking for you to shine by taking a mature approach and not leaving up dangerous articles for the sake of being idiosyncratic and self-deluding. We are lucky to have Wikipedia. We do not own the internet nor do we own the law enforcement agencies that set the rules on what is and what is not the promotion of hate, terrorism and illegal warfare.

This being so, the matter is out of my hands. My IP represents a block of many users (I have looked into this previously) and I am aware that the IP gives this to approximately half its customers and therefore it is not one single end-user you are blocking but a portion of the internet users of an entire country who will now find their IP displayed as being blocked on a Russia article when they wake up in a few hours from now. As I said, I don't set the rules, I just abide by them.

I have clearly indicated that I am prepared to cooperate on you with this matter and proceed with appropriate articles published online. Wikipedia is not a charity that gives second chances to dictators or aggressors in illegal wars or terrorists. You have chosen to put yourself in a position of responsibility and are expected to act accordingly. You have after all put your name to what you do and I'm sure you realise you will be held to account and already know this because you follow the law. This is not a last chance saloon and you will indeed be held to account if you continue to facilitate the publishing online of content that seeks to glorify scheduled entities or individuals.

Please see the error of your way and include my edit which will indemnify you of all responsibility for the tosh that currently is be bandied around by people that presumably need to breath some fresh air, stretch their legs and do whatever it is they need to function properly as individuals instead of them constantly obsessively tinkering with these articles adding extraneous and now obsolete information bellying the fact that they currently have neither journalistic capability or even an understanding of their audience.

It has been a pleasure conversing with you and I am glad that you are enthusiastic about what you and that you take the time to read and respond to others in the community and that you are an upstanding citizen that we will be seeing much more of around here as progress is made with the issues that we both find we are passionate about addressing. 148.252.146.215 (talk) 22:57, 20 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, you have not been blocked. Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 22:58, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, something I actually don't understand, reverting my article change which was something I have considered quite carefully and have found myself at pains to be in this situation but it is the reality. It follows on from reading articles that don't even acknowledge companies pulling out of Russia but INSTEAD include them when they have already gone. I have done my research on the situation and this seems to be an issue and I am editing for this purpose as I have found Wikipedia to be in a dire state time and again with excessive and outdated content that frankly sometimes crosses into extremism. If I had a website effectively promoting sanctioned entities or individuals I would expect it to be taken down. We don't need information on how to interact with the Russian war machine which is all these articles are doing. We are in this situation RIGHT NOW, it is a WAR and there are laws to follow from our viewpoint in not aiding 'those sanctioned', in any way, including things such as operating server space for articles detailing unsubstantiated internal workings of a sanctioned entity (here the Russian state and the may individuals also). I couldn't be more clear. The next step is Wikipedia is taken down and has to ask to be returned. Prior to this the unpleasant process of investigations by the multi agency authorities on who's doing what and potentially individuals finding themselves under investigation and subject to the full force of the law, for what might have seemed being lazy in one's duties as an affiliate at an article website. This is happening right now, time is limited, will you rise to the challenge and take responsibility for appropriate content or become the focus and subject of a spectrum of ire from law enforcement all the way to the man in the street? Only you can do this. This will not brushed off by the state as laymen tinkering on the internet oblivious to reality just playing with 'chunks of data', tables and newspaper cuttings of subjects they know nothing of and hold no insight into. I can imagine the questions: "so, you just happened to overrule someone's attempt to protect the public from both becoming at risk from holding an understanding of information likely to benefit an enemy (aka treason) and simultaneously facilitating the gathering and reproduction of information likely to be useful to those wishing to commit treason and support acts of terrorism?". To which you would reply what? My finger slipped and I just happened to type all that stuff in response, click all the necessary moderator buttons to wreck the situation for public safety again, make myself a Nescafe and watch the birds rise in the morning after a night of dullifying oneself staring at the internet for hours pretending I'm not actually state educated and didn't do well in school, but just happened upon the WWW whereby suddenly I was trajected into overseer of mere minions of information not-understood by their layman ways but they can't possibly understand how this is because we can't say they were aware they didn't do well in school, and if they didn't, then surely they have no concept of what an education is as they don't really have much of a one? I don't know where you're going with this, dude but perhaps take a break. The world will be here tomorrow, it relies on individuals like you letting things go sometimes and allowing others to step in where you need someone's delegated independence to shine through so you can bask in that and say you managed to get through it and were part of something that meant something and not another crank being chased by the state and having to take your chances out there but be a part of the community and say you got through this, times were times, you rise above it and you progress on, on the side that matters, on the side that has something worth talking about and something that will last long enough for hyphenated surnames to continue to flourish and a seed that will continue on instead of getting washed away to the horrors of hell. Satan looks for assistants that he can abuse and who abuse others. People join him thinking they are getting rewarded but in fact are damned for eternity, worthless and soulless unable to escape but in constant torment unable to die like they once did but forced to go over it again and again, no end in sight, no pleasure, no soothing, no sympathy. 148.252.146.215 (talk) 23:45, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

RE: edit for info for The Last of the Haussmans, on page for writer Stephen Beresford
Stephen Beresford

Nicholas Hytner did not direct this play. I worked on the production. The late Howard Davies directed it. Please credit him.

If you require further confirmation, esteemed theatre critic Michael Billington gets it right in his contemporary review in The Guardian: "As always, however, director Howard Davies gets luminous performances from his cast."

Question from ATR2147 (23:04, 4 March 2024)
Hello,

Thanks so much for your assistance. I submitted an article for a draft. I am not a professional writer or editor and have been mentored by an professor from OWL Purdue, who taught bee the benefits of drafting ideas out and getting things close to finalize and utilizing ai tools to further develop the draft? I was wondering how you felt about that and also things I can do to improve my grammar writing and other abilities. I was also hoping to receive all of the feedback you had to offer for a draft writing material I was doing for an artist, whenever you had the opportunity to do so. I used AI of revisions and was hoping you could let me know what you think about the crafting. I tried to do my best to cite, however conducting multiple research and trying to change language can be exhausting especially when this is not my main form or medium. I appreciate your support and thank you so much for offering this assistance to myself and others wanting to build and expand. --ATR2147 (talk) 23:04, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

TFA
Thank you today for Charles Richardson (Royal Navy officer), "a Royal Navy officer who served in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, eventually reaching the rank of vice-admiral. While most of Richardson's fellow admirals gained the majority of their experience at sea, Richardson found his calling on land, managing to fight in several British Army campaigns. Richardson was also a successful naval commander when he found time to be so, commanding six warships. He continued in the navy after the end of the wars, ending his career in rather strange circumstances surrounding a diplomatic incident in China."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:28, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Editor of the Week
User:Hey man im josh submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * I nominate Pickersgill-Cunliffe to be Editor of the Week for persistent quality content contributions and their milhist coordination work. As of now, they've helped to promote over 70 articles to Good Article status and 4 articles to Featured Article status, 2 of which they created. Additionally, they have been a quality contributor and coordinator at the military history WikiProject since October of 2022. Their contributions (over 20000 mainspace edits) to the site are always of the utmost quality and they are always easily approachable. I think they should be commended and properly recognized for all that they do. This nomination was seconded by Mr Serjeant Buzfuz and Ixtal.

Question from OfficialYarmulkeRidersMotorcycleClub (22:15, 9 April 2024)
Hello,

I would like to find out how to create a Article for our Motorcycle Club Yarmulke Riders Motorcycle Club.

I see that Wikipedia has all kinds of other articles about other Motorcycle Clubs.

We would like to add one for our Motorcycle Club which would list who we are, how we started, when we started, and basically a Truthful History of our Motorcycle Club that is based on FACTS, Not advertising.

We have a whole History already written out of you would like to look over it and let us know how we can add it to Wikipedia.

This would mean a lot as we, The Yarmulke Riders Motorcycle Club is Wisconsin's 1st And Only Official Jewish Motorcycle Club since 2005 A.D..... We made History with founding our Club as there were No other Jewish Motorcycle Clubs in Wisconsin before us.

We even have documentation from The United States Government and a United States Senator to confirm this.

We would be more than willing to send in this documentation to provide all of this.

Please let me know if this is possible.

We just want to let the World know about our motorcycle club, our History since we are Wisconsin's 1st And Only Official Jewish Motorcycle Club, and the facts.

Thank You for your Time. May God Bless all --OfficialYarmulkeRidersMotorcycleClub (talk) 22:15, 9 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia strives for neutrality, and one of the aspects of this is not having a conflict of interest. It is clear that you have a conflict of interest with the topic you want to write about. Please familiarise yourself with this page about conflicts of interest before you write anything on Wikipedia. Failing to properly disclose your conflict and edit neutrally could result in you being blocked. Furthermore, your username is currently a violation of the username policy because it might be deemed a promotional username, and you seem to be representing a group rather than yourself as an individual. This isn't allowed. Please look into changing your username as soon as you can.
 * If you follow these steps and begin editing on Wikipedia, this page will help you start your first article. Please be aware that all content on Wikipedia must be notable and verifiable. Content you add about any subject that is not deemed notable, or that is not accompanied by reliable sources that are independent of the subject, are liable to be deleted.

Hi, I've added a small paragraph in the article about Lt Col Victor Paley, detailing his position at the time of the Normandy campaign. This is my first proper amendment and so I'm unsure whether the reference is correctly filled in or if I should hyperlink any of the detail. Direction on how that could be achieved would be appreciated. --Daniel Taylor KSYM (talk) 11:00, 9 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi! In terms of wikilinking in articles, you may link anything you think would be useful. Just ensure that it hasn't already been linked earlier in the article! In terms of your referencing style that's a fine way to do it, although we tend to avoid primary sources where we can. I expect that the information you've added will be available in secondary sources about the regiment, so those would be more appropriate citations. Make you you cite your entire addition as well; you've left the final sentence without a reference which makes it liable to be removed. Thank you for your contributions!
