One free pass
Hi Silverseren. Regarding your accusation of bad faith on my part in the Talk section at Talk:Rapid-onset gender dysphoria controversy (diff), I reject your unfounded insinuations in the strongest possible terms. If you sincerely believe what you said about my motivations at the article, then make your case at my Talk page, with diffs; and if you don't, then please strike out the offending statement and we'll both go back to improving the article like nothing happened; in the latter case, you can consider this your one free pass. If you repeat an accusation like that (either about me, or any editor) I may consider that a repeated pattern of personal attacks by you, and will take whatever action I feel is appropriate to remedy it. I'd much prefer the other route; I assume you would, too. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 09:31, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Mattie Edwards
Any chance you could help with this one? Thanks tremendously for all your great work! Happy Spring. FloridaArmy (talk) 21:51, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'll add her to the list. :) Silver  seren C 23:52, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Jason Perlow
Hi Silver, can you take a look at Jason Perlow? I think he meets notability requirements. Perlow himself has now just added some information on the talk page which could be a bit helpful. Best, Thriley (talk) 15:41, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Greg Flynn (businessman)
Hi Silver! Could you take a look at Greg Flynn (businessman)? I believe he meets notability requirements. All but one of the delete votes so far have been from fairly inexperienced editors.Thriley (talk) 23:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Editor experience invitation
Hi Silver seren. I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss 🍀 (talk) 23:07, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I had a question, if you don't mind clarifying. Why do you believe that editing at 16 was against the rules in 2006? That's also the age I started editing (in 2018). As far as I'm aware, there's never been any prohibitions on who can edit. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 12:11, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * From what I remember,, there did used to be a requirement that you were 18 or older when you made an account. That was way back in 2006 though and I know they loosened such requirements since, though I don't know exactly when. Silver  seren C 15:41, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I've asked a few people who were editing in the early 2000s and they said that being a certain age was never a requirement to create an account. One editor even pointed me towards Requests for adminship/WhisperToMe – a 2003 RfA where the candidate was 16. Is it possible that maybe you're thinking of a different website that required account creators be adults? Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 21:48, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I honestly don't remember. I only remember my age being a concern at the time. It may not have been specifically about having an account, but for other reasons. Silver  seren C 22:07, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Please upload free images to Commons!
Thanks for uploading free images to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please consider uploading public domain or freely licensed images there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can more easily use them, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow visitors to search for, view and use media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Moving images to the Commons (you may view your previous uploads here). Note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons, and uploads of non-U.S. works are normally allowed only if the work is either in the public domain or covered by a valid free license in both the U.S. and the country of origin of the work. Thanks, and please continue uploading! Cheers, &#45;-Animalparty! (talk) 04:37, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I've refused to upload images to Commons for quite a few years now, . After multiple instances of free images of mine being deleted on Commons on a technicality, without there even being an attempt to notify me about the issue or relevant discussions so I could localize them first, I decided Commons wasn't worth it. The culture over there, from multiple negative interactions over two decades, is not one I want to be a part of. If you want to move images I upload locally over there, feel free. But I won't be doing it. Silver  seren C 04:41, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry that's been your experience. I've uploaded thousands of public domain and freely-licensed images with no trouble at all, aside from the occasional crop or upload of an image later found to have originally been uploaded under a false rationale (people lie or are unaware of copyright rules on Commons about as much as anywhere on the Internet). Let me know if you have any questions about the copyright status of a particular image, or feel free to start a discussion at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright. All the best. &#45;-Animalparty!
