DYK for National Stupid Day
RoySmith (talk) 00:03, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Nomination of National Stupid Day for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article National Stupid Day is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/National Stupid Day until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Assassination and Lincoln Fitzgerald
Hi, I looked further and you are probably right about murder. I saw the headline in the Reno Gazette called at an assasination attempt but that is possibly a sensationalized heading. He was a semi-public figure so I imagine it could be called an assassination. But we never discovered the identity of the shooter or a motive so perhaps just a murder attempt or? Thank you Leeky. Bruxton (talk) 23:49, 5 December 2023 (UTC)


 * @Bruxton: yeah, that looks like some after-the-fact headlining, so i probably wouldn't put too much stock in it :) 'assassination' isn't the worst descriptor, but i think plain 'murder' works better. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 23:50, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Pinging
I am hoping you can render an opinion on a few dyk noms that I have pinged you to. If you are too busy I will ping someone else. I rely on your judgement and knowledge to get a few noms moving when my own is insufficient. Thanks and Happy Hanukkah and hapy holidays! Bruxton (talk) 00:39, 8 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Happy Hanukkah, @Bruxton! I've made my replies :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:49, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks much! There are other minor controversies afoot but I did not ping you. :) Bruxton (talk) 15:19, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
 * Following a talk page discussion, the Administrators' accountability policy has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have notifications (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory. Administrators who do not use notifications are now strongly encouraged to indicate this on their user page.

Arbitration
 * Following a motion, the Extended Confirmed Restriction has been amended, removing the allowance for non-extended-confirmed editors to post constructive comments on the "Talk:" namespace. Now, non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace solely to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided that their actions are not disruptive.
 * The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
 * Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.

Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays text.png Hello Theleekycauldron: Enjoy the holiday season&#32;and winter solstice if it's occurring in your area of the world, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:41, 9 December 2023 (UTC) Spread the WikiLove; use {{subst:Season's Greetings}} to send this message MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:41, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

out for a bit
hey! I'm sorry to to write a message like this, very rude of me – i'm involved in discussions with both of you over DYK nominations, and while I would be happy to discuss at a later date, I'm sure both of you want to get your nominations promoted as soon as possible and I don't think I'll be able to focus the necessary time and energy towards that this week, what with finals and all. So, tell you what: if either of you find a reviewer who'll say that I'm wrong or that the concerns have been resolved, and there's no other issues, consider my objections withdrawn. Otherwise, I'll be back later this week or next and we can hash it out. Thanks so much :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 10:05, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Before the sun sets...
I've been meaning to wish you a happy Hanukkah! Haven't been around much lately – turns out higher education takes up some serious time – but I do miss you and I admire your continued dedication & work here. Chag sameach and a gut yontiv to ya! — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 18:57, 15 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey, ezlev, happy belated Hanukkah! I've missed you too – if you're ever so inclined, I spent lots of time hangin' out at the WP:DISCORD (although not so much this week). Would be awesome if you ever wanted to pop in and say hi! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 04:13, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

DYK for 19.99

DYK issues awaiting your consideration
Theleekycauldron, it looks like the following nominations are awaiting a response from you or some other form of action: Thank you very much for checking on these two. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:49, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Template:Did you know nominations/Kathanar - The Wild Sorcerer: you pulled this one and asked for responses from three folks; two have responded, and the third didn't participate in the nomination (promoter, maybe?). This is currently the oldest DYK nomination by several weeks, so it would be great to get it moving again.
 * Template:Did you know nominations/Sealord Group: after your last request, which superseded a tick, some changes were made. Are they enough? Please post where this stands.


 * @BlueMoonset! Hello! I'm on a wikibreak, and probably won't get to these for a few days. Anyone else is free to take 'em if they want, or I can get back to them when I will. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 04:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Later this week will be great. (I very much doubt anyone will stop by to take up either review; the unapproved backlog is immense.) Hope your wikibreak is going well; thanks for interrupting it to reply to me! BlueMoonset (talk) 02:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

any Los Angeles people around?
Hey there! If you're someone who's wanted to edit about Los Angeles and happens to ( gasp ) be in Los Angeles, and I are holding a mini editathon to take a whack at the page on Hancock Park, Los Angeles! Reply to this message or email me for details :) thanks! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 20:07, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
