Thanks
Thanks for your kind words at the CW ANI! Pam D  17:40, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * I'm only grateful for one thing—that whatever happens in the future, I've been lucky enough to have had the chance to watch you grow and develop onto one of our strongest contributors—front and back of house—while not shying away from the sensitive areas needing a nuanced touch. Keep up the (very!) good work! ——  Serial  18:47, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * You know when your superiors at work make a remarkable comment about you and you literally can not at that moment articulate a proper response that mirrors your inner feelings, that’s me right now. I literally do not have the right words to use to appreciate this statement. Celestina007 (talk) 19:46, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Cheers ; it was who did all the "heavy lifting", actually helping you—I just did a slow burn in the corner. Mind you, did I send you a bunch of books? Anyway, the article's looking dead good. Good work!  ——  Serial  18:43, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Liverpool Women's Hospital bombing
Cwmhiraeth (talk) 00:03, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hey, cool. But I basically just wrote the original article; many moons ago I realised that any article put forward for ITN would be taken over, not so much by gatekeepers, but by trivialistas and this hasn't proved me wrong. Still, collectivism is the name of the day! :)   SN54129  06:05, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Le Livre de Seyntz Medicines
&mdash; Amakuru (talk) 00:03, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thanks for this, and also for kickstarting it in the first place. What I noticed was that the original merge (so-called) discussion comprised one editor's proposal—in which the topic's notability was actually admitted!—a "go ahead" from a <300 edit account, and no notifications to any relevant project pages whatsoever. Slam-dunk merge!I don't want to tread on your toes, but there's a bit more I'd like to add (not much—just a few unused sources). I don't know about you, but I reckon there's an FA in there, eventually; thoughts?  SN54129  12:11, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * PS: Congratulations on your upgrade, of course.  SN54129  12:11, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot. Please feel free to add as much content as you want! And yes, I agree the topic has lots of potential. It might be at GA level already. Is there there such a thing as a joint GA nomination? I know it exists for FAC, but I'm not sure I've seen it for GA. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 13:11, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure...but I know a man who might. RX3, know ye of such a beast?  SN54129  13:29, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Not Ritchie, but yes -- co-noms at GAN level are very common. I don't believe the bot can handle them well, though (the bot in general is rather on its last legs, although someone I've promised to ping every time it comes up until he's finished >:) is working on a replacement), so they tend to be informally done by adding a "[name] is co-nominator" to the |note= section of the GAN template. The unofficial status also means they don't get registered properly on WP:WBGAN, but that can be manually done if it's any sort of concern. Vaticidalprophet 13:37, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * thanks for that. Sounds like you need a nightstick in your line of work :)    SN54129  13:56, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * is your go-to expert editor on mediaeval history. In terms of GA reviews, one person has to start it, and one person has to take responsibility for closing it. Beyond that, in theory, anything goes. For example, Talk:Elham Valley Railway/GA1 was largely undertaken by other people than the reviewer. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  13:45, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks ; obvs, I'll do the Pepsi challenge with anyone on (late) medieval history—although not denying it might be a bit of a stretch call Worms late med—but it sounds like an "anything goes" GAN could be a goer! Cheers mate :)    SN54129  13:56, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeeees I really really need to get that bot going. As I have said before, the initial 80% of the work is done, it's now the latter 80%.... :) firefly  ( t · c ) 14:42, 2 February 2022 (UTC)


 * by the way, check this out. Right up your alley! :D     SN54129  14:49, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned them in a recent DYK, go to Queen's first album, track 5 - or side 2 track 1 if you're old school, about 3:20 in. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:04, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi again! Re. the joint GA nom, would you like to look over the article and see if you think its about ready? I wanted to leave it a few weeks back then, so that it becomes fresh again. What do you think? Hope all's well. SN54129 19:41, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for notifying me! I have to say that I don't feel a joint GA nomination can be justified at this point: you have contributed much more to this article than I have; all I did really is start it with the most important information. You should do the nomination on your own. Regarding the quality of the article, I think it's in good shape for the GA review: it's comprehensive, well sourced, stable, well illustrated etc. I'm glad you took this article to where it is now. Thanks and best,Modussiccandi (talk) 19:46, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Promotion of Wonderful Parliament
thank you today for the article, introduced: "A return to FAC after a year away. Where does it go, etc. But here's a thing that was brought to GA by the thorough review of T. Riley, of this parish, and should be ready for the next stage. Another—if slightly later—medieval parliament—the King wanted money, both lords and commons refused until he got rid of a few scroungers, he refused, and all hell burst out. Hey, parliament was nearly invited for dinner and poisoned by the King, how's that for a healthy political relationship?"! - Sorry, I missed the FAC, meant to go ... -- Happy 2022! (I was on vacation.) The image was taken in memory, and I remember your tribute for SlimVirgin. "the land is bright and wide." --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:43, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Four Award
Congrats on your first Four Award! — Bilorv ( talk ) 21:43, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Very kind,, thanks very much! Now, about the fifteen Triple Crowns I'm about to log... :)    SN54129  16:29, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Ha, always happy to check and give out these awards—it pales in comparison to the amount of effort people put into earning them. — Bilorv ( talk ) 21:14, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Precious anniversary
Congratulations! - Mozart: I used your wording ("cogent"), for the reasoning of Voceditenore. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:45, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you today for John Hastings, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, introduced: "A joint nomination between myself and Gog on one of the many curious individuals populating late-medieval England. This chap starts off as a bit of an arse, frankly—a plutocrat forced to work with men of greater ability though less lineage, and who clearly can't decide whether he prefers fighting the French or cutting off relatives, as he spends his time doing both in almost equal portions. But—but—whose story ends with, really, some poignancy. This started off with me piling in my editorial size nine boots some years ago, throwing in everything I had on him, following which it was reviewed for GA by Iazyges of this parish (shout out!). More recently Gog has shown me how it's done—as usual—with a fantastic copy edit."! - I'm still curious about the question above. I like to see the ice age of the "infobox wars" melting, and wonder if you see the same. - My stories on the Main page today are about Johanna Geisler and Huub Oosterhuis. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:59, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

I still wonder if you see the same? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Subhead format, outstanding use of
Just wanted to give an admiring thumbs-up for your subheads for Index, A History of the. Bravo! Flaggingwill (talk) 16:41, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Henry II
Brilliant. Just brilliant. I just saw the edit you made to Henry II regarding the FA nomination, and I am impressed and astounded beyond words. The writing and academic research present brings my history-nerd eyes to tears. In all seriousness, I have been quite troubled by personal matters (as reflected by my slow activity recently), so I really appreciate the helping hand with this burdensome task. You have outdone yourself yet again. Once again, thank you so much for your assistance. If there is anything I can do for you, just let me know. Cheers, Unlimitedlead (talk) 14:40, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Now then,, the last time I brought tears to someone's eyes, I was a railway ticket inspector, so I hoped I wouldn't do it again :)  but seriously, no—you wrote the article, it's a fine piece of work. An excellent summary of the historiography of the reign. It's a shame that we're (presumably?) running out of medieval English monarchs to work on, otherwise I might've dared suggest a collaboration... and thanks for your offer by the way, much appreciated!   SN54129  20:56, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Well now, there's always Henry V, the prize of all prizes. Reach out to me about that sometime if you'd like; I've been eyeing it for a while now. Unlimitedlead (talk) 00:17, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @Unlimitedlead: I must apologise to both you and SN54129 for my incessant butting-in here and at your talkpage, but I've been eyeing up the triumvirate of Henry IV, V, and VI for a few weeks now too. Maybe I'm still high off the adrenaline that GA-ing Charles III gave me, but I would like to sink my teeth in to a more substantial project now; I've also taken a glance to see if I can FA Tony Blair or Oliver Cromwell, although both would involve months of work. Henry V and VI's orange-tagged articles are obviously subpar, so if you want to collaborate on one of them, Unlimitedlead? Just ask. I've the Wikipedia Library, Internet Archive, and a bookshelf of G. M. Trevelyan (amongst others) at my disposal to get the article into better shape. Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 15:30, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Would Oliver really be that difficult? I mean, yes it's an FAC and yes it's a bio, but most things about him seem pretty nailed down. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:26, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I think so, yeah. The article, and the references especially, would need a fair bit of reworking to get it anywhere close to FA. Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 16:16, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I hadn’t even looked at the existing article, I had assumed that I would need rewriting from scratch. If there is usable material already there that should make it even easier. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:20, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @Tim O'Doherty Sounds good. Just wrapped up Edward I and am almost done with Henry II, and I am still deciding who I want to take on next. I likely will not be in a position to work on anything that substantial until November (due to the WikiCup), however, and I am not sure if I want to tackle any of the Henrys just yet. I have a few other candidates up my sleeves ;) Unlimitedlead (talk) 15:44, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I understand. I think I'll start work on Henry VI over the week, as upon closer inspection it is probably the worst article on post-1066 English/British monarchs (unless you count Henry the Young King) on the site. The lead section is badly written, and the article cites YouTube, which, if I'm aspiring to FA, is doubleplusungood. May well be my first FA; if not, second (or third, depending on what happens between now and then) GA. Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 19:02, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No apologies, you're always welcome here. Those are some interesting ideas! And, in happy coincidence—almost bizarrely so!—you reminded me of something sitting in my sandbox... for nearly the last five years! Incredible! Although it's looking a bit tatty of course, by today's standards. I'm not sure now why I stopped—except, perhaps if I realised how big the job would be for one editor...  SN54129  15:47, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * (Replying to my 15:30 6/6/23 comment) - How out of date that comment is now, looking back. Very little work on Blair, a bit of work on Henry 6 and a minute amount of work on Crommers. Also, now have 7-ish GAs and an FA under my belt. Unfortunately, cannot see that I will ever "finish" my Henriad project, but never say never, I s'pose. Sorry, SN and Unlimitedlead: looks like I lied to you both. Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 23:44, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, no you didn't! If real life—or even wikilife!—circumstances change, that's not your fault, in fact, it's not a fault at all. Everything to its own time! As I said, I've done a fair bit of work on Henry VI already. Splitting the work would make it more manageable for everyone! Keep it in mind. Anyway, thanks for popping back, and apologies for my delay in replying. Hope you're well!  ——Serial  11:54, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. SN's played a blinder on Edward III as well. Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 16:29, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * (again!) very kind, thanks! It's a job of work, to be sure, but slow and sure wins the race. Luckily I've gotta bit of time right now; it'll probably be like painting the Forth Bridge!  SN54129  20:56, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

In appreciation

 * Thaaaanks But can you imagine me ever being anything other than helpful, polite, and respectful at FAC? Yes, I suppose you can... You know where the bodies are buried  :)  Thanks for the Barnstar, I ain't had it in ages!   SN54129  20:59, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Ummm, ahhh ... No, actually I can't. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:05, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Image on user page blocking right sidebar on timeless
As much as I like the picture :)

If you can find a way to get that image to not stick until scrolling down on Timeless that would be great. As for your talk page, I could care less about the images blocking the footer, but you might want to figure out a way to get those to not stick as well.

PS I think you would make a great admin. Knowing how to serially (yes that pun was intended) handle problematic and communicate with good faith editors. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 01:29, 29 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Almost there... the user page still has the sidebar buttons blocked...
 * Maybe make the side image collapsible so that I can hide the image when I need to access those side buttons. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 12:20, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm afraid I'm not that great, I don't really see what you mean. What image specifically? Don't you see the same sidebar on this page too? Help!  Serial  12:38, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @Serial Number 54129 Okay I went ahead and fixed it for you. There might be an annoying button but I can't figure how to make that work a bit better. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 13:08, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Adamson Tannehill FAC review
Hello Serial, Thanks very much for taking the time for the review of Adamson Tannehill!! I will take a good look and get back to you when I've addressed all your comments or until I stop because of a question (if okay). I'll say up front that I had a lot of trouble with the military chronology myself. His military service overlaps with most of his civic/political service, so I had to decide whether to go strictly by chronologic order or as I did and mix military with civic a little. I'll try to mix it a little, but it may also sound disjointed. Also, just quickly, the U.S. military style of using rank before a name is to use an abbreviation before his/her full name vs. using a full expansion of the rank spelling before only the surname. For example, Capt. John F. Robinson vs. Captain Robinson. Does this follow the MOS? Again, many thanks! Tfhentz (talk) 14:38, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Coord discussion
Hi -- I thought I'd take this here rather than WT:FAC, though we can move it back there if you feel that's more appropriate. I'm sorry to say I'm really not sure what I said that came across as a put-down -- do you mean the comments about length of service? If so it really wasn't meant that way, and I can comment there to that effect if you'd like me to. I just meant that David is a strong candidate because he's been around (and around FAC) for a long time, so those of us who have also been around a long time have had more opportunity to get to know his editing. It certainly wasn't meant to downgrade the concerns of anyone who has been here a shorter time, or to imply any kind of seniority effect. I'm happy to apologize for any aspersion you saw in my comments -- I hope you can believe it was careless phrasing on my part rather than bad intent.

Re transparency -- I think there are pros and cons and would probably not oppose if there was a consensus in that direction -- but I think your comment on that was more general, and not really directed at me? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * NO—apologies are due from me; I misunderstood, and that's what we call ABF I think. I understand that's what you meant; re-reading it's also how it reads at first glance... second time around! I'm afraid I'm seeing spooks where there aren't any these days. I'll strike that portion of my comment at WT:FAC. Re. transparency, as you say, that's also a broader discussion for another day, and I'm certainly not holding you responsible for either its presence or absence. In fact, I'll remove those edits to save distraction from business. Thanks for bringing it here, and apologies again for misunderstanding you. I think if umbrage cost twice the price today, I'd still take it! Cheers,  Serial  16:19, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Phew. Thanks for the quick reply!  Glad I didn't screw up; I know I'm capable of it .... Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 16:28, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

FAC review
Hi Serial, I have completed my responses to your review comments for FAC Adamson Tannehill. I know the article hasn't been the easiest to review. Is there more to come, or has the article been rejected? Thanks very much for your very helpful comments! Tfhentz (talk) 14:51, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I've replied there. Apologies for the delay.  Serial  15:32, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

File:'This user misses Slim Virgin' final.png
Hello. Why do you think that the file can be on Wikipedia, but not on Commons? — Ирука13 09:46, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Hullo. No broader appeal, I suppose, pretty much en.wp-specific, but you do what you want of course.  Serial  10:19, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

RSN
I'm genuinely sorry if you felt that my comments at RSN were not helpful or constructive. That was not my intention. My apologies. Banks Irk (talk) 01:29, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries, overreaction on my part too. all the best,  Serial  10:34, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

A Song of Patriotic Prejudice
Um, well, that is impressive! I hope you will contribute to At the Drop of a Hat, At the Drop of Another Hat, and any of the other F&S articles! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:07, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks . Actually, I'm embarrassed now that people will think I'm some sort of nutter. Or just even more so, perhaps. Are you a F&S fan yourself? I came across the song while looking at British stereotypes in another article, and one thing led to another. But it does touch on many different themes: self-perception, nationalisms, anti-nationalisms, satire, contemporary politics, the 1960s... quite good fun, but pretty rough, too. I totally get your "Um" :)And thanks for your edits to the page just now!   Serial  17:41, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not particularly an F&S fan. I'm a Gilbert and Sullivan fan and have also contributed to the F&S shows since F&S a literary descendant of G&S. But I certainly never did the depth of research that you did.  From a quick look at your article, I'd say that a lot of the stuff that you say about F&S generally ought to be incorporated into the other F&S articles as background there. All the best. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:54, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I saw the impressive canon of G&S on your page just now. We did Trial by Jury at school; I still love the line, "...in the dusk with the light behind her"! OK, good idea re. the background stuff, and thanks for the encouragement.  Serial  18:00, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Bis :)
Hi, in this edit to A Song of Patriotic Prejudice you introduced several sfn references that were not defined, adding the article to Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors. If oyu could fix these it would be appreciated. DuncanHill (talk) 18:34, 15 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Do you realize that you just reverted all the careful edits I made to the article today? -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:54, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Wasn't it just the cn? I addressed that with ODNB, well-spotted.  Serial  18:57, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No, it wasn't. Now I've gone through and tried to reinstate my edits.  Please review. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:23, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Very sorry,, I didn't get an edit-conflict alert. Thanks for doing that though!  Serial  11:19, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Help with identifying a file
Hey, I noticed you uploaded this file. Would you mind providing some details about the location of the pub so that I can properly categorise the file and give it a more descriptive name when I move it to Commons?

Notice of noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Sorry for the hassle, this is about the RfA of 0xDeadbeef. Fermiboson (talk) 08:48, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't see the point in opening a noticeboard filing against another editor (and, all due respect, it really was, whatever caveats swooned covered it) if one is merely going to not only close it almost immediately, but then archive it at subsequent request. It's just wasting time, tbh. But no worries, and thanks for the heads up, however unnecessary it turned out to be :)   Serial  19:09, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, everything comes to a natural end, and with this, a 'new-if-equally-tiny-in-the-great-scheme' chapter begins. My respect for has certainly increased—now sharing the pantheon with  as they do—but I'm rather surprised (slightly dismayed, actually), that so many editors—including the illustrious, the great and the good—never realised the likelihood. The dogs on the street suspected this. Personally, I always assumed . Jusqu'ici tout va bien Wikipedia  :)   Serial  12:49, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

About the “attack page”
I was recording the apparent stance of editors of the Gilbert and Sullivan project on infoboxes to make a case about systemic bias on the project as almost all active users don’t seem terribly fond of infoboxes. Even if you disagree with the categorization that hardly constitutes an “attack”, especially in comparison with Cassianto comparing me to the Schutzstaffel. Dronebogus (talk) 20:47, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You either have not read, or have read yet still munderstand, WP:POLEMIC. It does not matter how you interpret it. It is defined by itself. And if you don't think random lists of names are creepy, then there's more recent, anglocentric examples.  ——Serial  21:05, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh for god’s sake it’s about systemic bias on a WikiProject it’s not a hit list! Dronebogus (talk) 21:10, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Is it your intention to piss off as many people as possible, Dronebogus, or are you short of constructive things to do?  Cassianto Talk  21:08, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Calling people nazis is constructive? Dronebogus (talk) 21:10, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I didn't call you a nazi - more lies. I said that your list, which features the names of editors who dare to disagree with you on infoboxes, was akin to what the SS did to dissenters 90 years ago. I've asked you a few times now, please remove my name.   Cassianto Talk  21:29, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Your friend SandyGeorgia copied it for god knows why. Unless he agrees to delete the copy it’s pointless for me to delete it. Dronebogus (talk) 21:33, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You're right, she is my friend, and I'll thank you kindly not to misgender her. I think you've annoyed enough people here over the last few days, you really don't want to be adding to it. Delete my name, it's a simple request.  Cassianto Talk  21:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * - Why don't you just remove it yourself? Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 21:45, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I’ll delete it, but if there’s a copy floating around it’s pointless. I’m on my phone at a restaurant so it’ll be a minute Dronebogus (talk) 21:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That must be some restaurant, if you feel that arguing the toss over a simple deletion is better than participating in some light dinner conversation with friends or family. Deleted it yet?  Cassianto Talk  21:54, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not my user space.  Cassianto Talk  21:47, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * So? If you'd just edited it in the first place with the edit summary "Removing my name as I don't want it here" and left you could have easily avoided the unecessary kerfuffle. Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 21:51, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * If you're so sure of yourself, why don't you do the collegial thing and delete it for me? Mark my words, if I interfered in someone else's user space, which I wouldn't as a mark of respect, there would be a tonne of admins lining up to take shots.  Cassianto Talk  21:59, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Believe me when I tell you I couldn't give less of a toss whether your name's on some tinpot hitlist. Just baffling when some people get upset over things like this. Starting to belive there are individuals here that are simply addicted to confrontation. Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 22:06, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I already explained it’s not even a “hit list” but it’s clear some people don’t want to listen either. Dronebogus (talk) 22:16, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The reason you don't care is because your name doesn't appear on that list; and the fact you call it a "hitlist" [sic] should tell you why this has caused me to worry and feel the need to engage in this "confrontation".  Cassianto Talk  22:22, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I can assure you I have more important things to worry about than my username appearing on some Wikipedia subpage. I don't sit in my house and fret over a conflict on a website with no bearing on my safety in real life. At the end of the day it's some letters moving on a screen. Not worth the trouble of bullying an editor into submission. As the kids say, "touch grass". Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 22:27, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I have nothing further to say to you. Good evening.  Cassianto Talk  22:30, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Not really evening for me anymore, dunno why you'd assume my time zone. But in any case, good day / evening / night to you too. Also, apologies to SN for having this stupid proxy war spill out onto his talk page. Best, Tim O&#39;Doherty (talk) 22:33, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I didn’t know what her gender was Dronebogus (talk) 21:45, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You can't click onto her user page? Not a good look, assuming someone's gender based on their user name. I wonder what our friends at the WP:GGTF would have to say about that?   Cassianto Talk  21:50, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It was a mistake. Please stop finding reasons to be offended. Dronebogus (talk) 21:55, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Please don't tell me what I can and cannot find offensive. This really isn't your finest hour. Still waiting for your kind confirmation that my name has disappeared from your list.  Cassianto Talk  22:03, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * This isn’t yours, either, but in any case I’ve blanked and U1’d the stupid page. Now go do these productive things you accuse me of not doing. Dronebogus (talk) 22:19, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You're too kind, thank you., as you were - sorry for the disruption.  Cassianto Talk  22:26, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Thumbs up!!
You were mentioned on another talk page, which I hope you know about. I believe you're doing the right thing. Coming from the Bronx, animosity is the way of life and I've come to know my share of do**** bags ... and you're definitely doing the right and moral thing. I felt the same way when HMIJ was getting in. Be free and say what you want, God bless you! Always here in your corner, Bringingthewood (talk) 01:23, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Well. Thanks! No, I didn't know I was "mentioned on another talk page", but as the fella said, if there's one thing worse than being talked about, it's being not talked about :)I remember HMiJ's RfA had an odd oppose that I called out, something to do with that? In any case, judge a man by the quality of his enemies, I settle for nothing less than admins and arbs nowadays. "It's purely business, Sonny"  :) thanks for the message; good to hear!    ——Serial  16:22, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 23
 New year, new scripts. Welcome to the 23rd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering around 39% of our favorite new and updated user scripts since. That’s right, we haven’t published in two years! Can you believe it? Did you miss us?

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

Cscr-featured.svg Featured script

 * RefRenamer by Nardog is this issue's featured script. For whatever reason, the foundation will only give us better reference names in VisualEditor if we wish for it in the next survey. Nardog to the rescue! This script has a ton of options to satisfy almost anyone who wishes to use better refnames than ":0" and ":418".

Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg Updated scripts

 * Nardog: MoveHistory can now look up the move history of any page from anywhere on the site.
 * User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink now has a version that copies the Special:Diff link with square brackets.
 * User:GhostInTheMachine/WatchlistTidy now moves the Active Filters panel to the right so that the Show/Hide button doesn't constantly jump.
 * User:Alexander Davronov/HistoryHelper has now become stable with some bugfixes and features such as automatically highlighting potentially uncivil edit summaries and automatically pinging all the users selected.
 * AutoEd/unicodehex.js will no longer replace legacy MediaWiki dot-entities (dot followed by two uppercase alphanumeric characters) in article links, which caused several links to become broken.



Ambox important.svg Improve a script

 * Many of our favorite scripts such as User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
 * User:Elominius/gadget/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
 * To a lesser extent, the same goes for User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
 * We want...
 * ...a mark-as-read button for Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
 * ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to User:TheJJJunk/ARA
 * ...a fix/fork of User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js to make it work

1009Clock.jpg Requested scripts

 * A WP:3O requesting and responding tool, similar to Terasil's classic edit request tool
 * A "bytes removed"/"added" filter on the user contribs page
 * A review tool for WP:proposed deletions
 * Mass patrol new pages by a user for use in WP:RFP/A
 * ...and many more, all available at User scripts/Requests

Gnome-colors-list-add.svg New scripts

 * Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin is a rewrite of Ais's Watchlist Notifier with modern APIs and several new features such as not displaying watchlist items marked as seen (hence the name), not bolding diffs of unseen watchlist elements which doesn’t work properly anyways, displaying the rendered edit summary, proper display of log and creation actions and more links.
 * Alexis Jazz: Factotum is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
 * User:Aveaoz/AutoMobileRedirect: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Wikipedia. Unlike existing scripts, this one will actually check if your browser is mobile or not through its secret agent string, so you can stay logged in on mobile! Hooray screen estate!
 * Chlod:
 * Deputy is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for Contributor copyright investigations for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
 * Attribution Notice Template Editor (ANTE) graphically modifies content attribution notices. It is the successor to User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor and supports more templates than copied ones.
 * Infringement Assistant allows a user to hide sections of a page for suspected copyright violations and report the page to the appropriate Copyright problems noticeboard.
 * User:Elominius/gadget/diff arrow keys allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding Ctrl with the arrow key.
 * Enterprisey
 * diff-permalink-2 allows quickly copying wikilinks to diff and permalink pages from those pages, a variation of existing script User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink
 * archiver is a fork of Σ's Archiver with several bugfixes.
 * /parent-cats highlights categories that are a subcategory of a category already included in a page's categories.
 * User:Guarapiranga/accessKeysCheatSheet adds an access key shortcut to display all shortcuts based on code provided by Nardog and NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh.
 * User:HungKhanh0106/ProperDisplay loads a bunch of fonts to add correct rendering supports for "esoteric" languages.
 * User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped will make piped links irresistible (or else).
 * User:Jerome Frank Disciple/curlyfixer.js adds an WP:AutoEd function that straightens curly quotes per MOS. That's right! Such a module was only made in the 14th year of AutoEd's existence! Configure away!
 * Frequently link to Wikipedia on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! User:Luke10.27/attribute will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard.
 * User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to Evad37's script, with a few bugs solved, and a host of extra features like check-boxes for choosing draftification reasons, multi-contributor notification, and appropriate warnings based on last edit time.
 * Nardog
 * /CopyCodeBlock: one of the most important operations for any scripter and script-user is to copy and paste. This script adds a copy button in the top right of every code block (not to be confused with 20:20, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * What? Recent additions says it should be up from 1200–2359, but it's not there. Nor are any of its fellows. Has there been a minor fuck up somewhere? Surely (A) is what should be on the page, per Recent additions; but (B) is what actually is on it?  ——Serial Number 54129  21:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That hook was part of a manual update (DYKUpdateBot was down at the time). The credits weren't given out by the admins that updated T:DYK, so I'm doing them now. –  21:11, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'm not accusing you of anything. But I don't understand why something that is meant to be on the MP right now... isn't? And all the other stuff... Andaman islands, Cox etc?  ——Serial Number 54129  21:29, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * It's not meant to be on the Main Page right now. Bot down → an admin has to manually update the template for set X → they do it, but don't do the credits → bot is restarted 12hrs later and does the next update for set Y, as usual → someone brings up the fact that the credits for set X weren't done → we are here. –  21:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * So what is meant to be on the Main Page right now?! Or, putting it another way, when was/will Tommy Wood be onDYK? I remain, sir, clueless! 🤔  ——Serial Number 54129  21:46, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The current set on the Main Page is the right one! Tommy Wood has already been on the MP, in the previous set, which went live at 00:21, 3 April 2024! –  21:49, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi from the Resource Exchange
Regarding your Daily Worker request, TrangaBellam is a valuable Wikipedian, but sometimes over promisses on resource requests. They also have a history of being uncommunicative there. Alas, I don't have ready access to the source.


 * It would help volunteers if you briefly explained in your request why you want to see those pages - at least what article(s) you hope to improve. Without more of a hint about what you hope to find on "an unknown page", volunteers would have to send you every page from 6 February 1937.


 * There's an open suggestion that The Wikipedia Library add UK Pressonline as a partner, which you could support by upvoting it. At least nine new partners have been added recently.

Regarding your Index request, I find your response to Doc Taxon a little difficult to understand. Are you saying you still need to know what pages are listed for "Green, Henrietta" in the book's index (if it has one), excluding pages in the "Food and produce" section (which she wrote), because you suspect the other authors have discussed her somewhere else in the book?


 * I don't have ready access to a library that holds the book, nor do I know of a regular RX volunteer (other than Doc Taxon) who might. However, used copies of the book can be delivered to the UK, US, or Germany for about ₤/$/€ 10 from abebooks, Amazon, zvab, and others. That might be your fastest and most reliable way to get the information, if it's worth that to you.

Good Luck! -- Worldbruce (talk) 15:07, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks very much for the information! I have undertaken several actions on account of your update. I have marked the Daily Worker request as grudgingly "resolved", as I doubt it would have added much, and it's almost a primary source in any case. Thanks for the links to the phab tickets. I'm not sure I found the Pressonline one, ironically, but I have upvoted and subscribed to a few. Re. Green: have clarified my comment to Doc, hopefully something might work out after all.I appreciate your last comment, but I am banned from buying any more books :)    ——Serial Number 54129  15:39, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Slates, Slags and Tapes, live
From what have heard the sound is way better than on the original ep. Preview Ceoil (talk) 20:05, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the red alert, I guess I'm hardwired to pre-order that :)  There are some good boots from that era, I wonder if they've polished one up fo this? I mean, Grant Showbiz used to do it for his own personal pension fund!   ——Serial Number 54129  15:11, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * From the previews, I would have selected different boots. Was disappointing at the choices for "Leave the Capitol" and "Middle Mass"; would have gone for the 2nd night in Reykjavik 1981 recordings myself, but guess he (ie Steve Hanley) had to think about fidelity as it is mostly a vinyl release. [shrug]. At least its good to see the band finally making money from re-releases, considering all the awful contracts Mark signed them up to in the 90s when he was short on cash.

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter
The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:
 * with 707 points, mostly from 45 good article nomination reviews and 12 good articless about radio and television;
 * with 600 points, mostly from 12 good articles and 12 did you know nominations about coinage and history;
 * with 552 points, mostly from a featured article about the 2020 Seattle Sounders FC season, three featured lists, and two good articles;
 * with 548 points, mostly from a featured article about the snooker player John Pulman, two featured lists, and one good article;
 * with 530 points, mostly from two featured articles (Well he would, wouldn't he? and Cora Agnes Benneson) and three good articles.

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins
Hi there! Phase I of the Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
 * Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
 * Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
 * Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
 * Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
 * Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
 * Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

Revert RFA related edits
I know you didn't mean any harm, but you really can't move whole discussions by other people that way. It can change the meaning, depending on where it is. You can link or quote it, but you really shouldn't move them from one venue to another. One exception is if you are moving from WP:AN to WP:ANI, and you put a pointer, and you explain the move afterwards in the body, etc, but this isn't that.

closure of WP:Articles for deletion/French ship Gapeau (B284)
The language you used when closing WP:Articles for deletion/French ship Gapeau (B284) made it clear that you were aware that this was not an uncontested AfD, which meant it was not a candidate for a non-admin closure. While your read of consensus may be accurate, this type of AfD is best left for an admin to close. Also please note that only four days have passed since the last relist; we normally give each relist the full seven days before closing. Thank you. Owen&times; &#9742;  10:38, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, you're wrong, and it's very discouraging to see an admin pushing a non-policy based argument. If you believe that what we actually do no longer reflects what is codified, then you should seek to overturn the policy. (Incidentally, my language reflected the fact that I had recently seen a similarlymisleading interpretaton pushed by another admin elsewher, not that the topic was contentious.) ——Serial Number 54129  10:51, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

TFA
Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Revert and other crap
Sorry for snarling at you after your close and reverting the action. I feel like we were getting ready to hug it out before this ATG and DYK flap. Hopefully you and I can turn it around. I will likely go to Arbcom with my concerns and I hope you and I can get back to just leering at each other suspiciously but not getting into a knife fight.

Rfc on Frederick the Great
The Rfc has been open only a few days. Closing it now is rather premature, isn't it? Emiya1980 (talk) 23:43, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

 * Thanks, but it involved absolutely no imagination on my part. Why do you have 'Template' in your sig.  ——Serial Number 54129  17:13, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * After several valid complaints, I have since changed it. ❧ LunaEatsTuna  (talk), we do what we must because we can – posted at 17:17, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Promotion of Thomas Neville (died 1460)

 * Congrats - great work! Hchc2009 (talk) 17:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the kind words—and also nice to see you pop back in every now and again. Your medieval presence is much missed; I learned much from you when merely a noob, and there weren't many medievalists around. To be honest, there might be even less now. Fancy writing up Thomas' final battle together? :)   ——Serial Number 54129  17:47, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

FAC review request
HI! I really appreciated your taking the time to help review Maria Trubnikova for FA earlier this year. I nominated Nadezhda Stasova, an article about another member of the Russian feminist "triumvirate", for FAC review a month ago and it's been going through the process. However, it's only attracted 2 full reviewers and an image review so far, and though all 3 editors supported, I'm worried it'll get archived soon without another reviewer taking a look and helping develop a broader consensus. Do you have any time to comment on the article soon? If not, no worries of course, but if you do, thank you! —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:24, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, for the reminder! I'd totally forgotten. Sorry about that. But FAC is such a PITA that by the time my last got promoted on 5 June, I took a few weeks off the process. See you there.  ——Serial Number 54129  13:52, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you! And congrats on yours, it was very interesting reading! Not being from the UK, the intricacies of the Wars of the Roses are not something I've ever known much about. —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

FAC spotcheck
Hello, could you spotcheck tiger for FAC? Thank you. LittleJerry (talk) 22:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the honor,, not sure why I was chosen 😬 do you need a spot check then? Mark me down if so, I've removed it from the requests page. Sometime tmtw, UTC. Although I also owe another review. Stand by.  ——Serial Number 54129  22:31, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Rollback
Regardless of any other outcome, I owe you an apology for this. Rollback is for vandalism or other bad-faith edits. I didn't know I had hit that there, as I was reading through a lot at the time, but I still should have noticed and self-reverted. So, I apologize for having done that with your edit. If I had meant to revert it, I would have done so with an edit summary indicating why. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, appreciated, and I know you would have. To be honest, if the context had been different, I would have assumed accidental rollback immediately. That I didn't, well, didn't help. Anyway, I'm just glad that whole episode's over with no harm done to all  :) All the best,   ——Serial Number 54129  15:24, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Don’t do this
This is an extremely bad close; not only are you not qualified to call an extremely contentious discussion, you are arguably involved in the overarching meta-dispute per here. Dronebogus (talk) 10:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * My friend, the longer you stay on the conveyor belt, the more likely you are to find it heading downwards.  ——Serial Number 54129  10:14, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Recent reverts
I reverted your and Elinruby’s remarks because they were in a closed thread. I am not trying to refactor other users’ comments, otherwise I wouldn’t have marked the changes as minor. As the thread was closed by an uninvolved bureaucrat I think you should respect that close. Dronebogus (talk) 12:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You should respect WP:TPO. You've been here long enough. I think you should just quit drama-mongering and help write an encyclopedia.  ——Serial Number 54129  12:52, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You are replying in a closed thread. Who’s the one bludgeoning at this point? Dronebogus (talk) 12:57, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * One reply in a closed thread does not constitute bludgeoning. Replying to every single other edit made very much does. Do you even read these pages you keep waving at other people?! Bizarre. And why are you posting on 's talk? How has she been involved in any of this?!  ——Serial Number 54129  13:03, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

FAR invitation
Hi @Serial Number 54129,

For some moment, I've seen your contributions to the Wikipedia project as well as in FAR. I nominated Adichie for FA, and it's been over five weeks or more. It has just received two supports with one full review. While I am a first-timer, I am also afraid of being archived (though I don't know the exact process), I would love to see you chime in anytime you're less busy. Thanks.
