I do not mind taking the survey about COI on the Chinese Wikipedia. Note that I am not very active on that wiki. sstflyer 17:41, 25 September 2015 (UTC)


 * it's OK if you are not very active; that you can read and write Chinese makes you 100% more qualified than me to find out the answers to any questions you don't know immediately.

Orphaned non-free image File:Gallowsbirds Bark album cover.jpg

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Disambiguation link notification for June 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Doria Atlas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Genoese. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK nomination of Doria Atlas
Hello! Your submission of Doria Atlas at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! ©Geni (talk) 15:16, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

I noticed your trouble, so I expanded your article to cover additional details about the contents of the Atlas and the fire. It should now meet the DYK criteria. The Wordsmith Talk to me 18:45, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Wordsmith! I do think those additions help the article, and I appreciate you helping me get across the minimum threshold. :) WWB (talk) 19:01, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi there. I saw you left a comment at Template_talk:Did_you_know: "Just saw that! Despite my Eeyore act above, I do think the changes help the article, and I'm very glad to see it meets the required minimum. WWB (talk) 19:04, 21 June 2016 (UTC)" Since I don't see you participating elsewhere in the discussion (and you don't seem to even appear in the pages' edit history for some reason), I'm confused by what you meant.

DYK nomination of Jumbo slice
Hello! Your submission of Jumbo slice at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 19:47, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I have withdrawn the DYK nomination (sorry). Per the discussion there about the overall article, it does not appear that a consensus will occur for the hook to move forward. North America1000 05:39, 12 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, that's unfortunate. I wish I'd had another chance to respond to the opposing editor's criticisms, but I suspect you are correct, they did not seem willing to revise their initial skepticism. Best, WWB (talk) 13:42, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll re-open the nomination if you'd like; just let me know. North America1000 13:46, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thing is, though, it could become one of those threads that go on forever, but no hook is ever actually published in the end. North America1000 13:48, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, I understand. I would feel differently if I thought this editor had legitimate concerns; instead, I just think they're quoting the article and going: reeeeally? and that's not much of an argument. If you open it again, I'll try to state my case. If you don't, no hard feelings. WWB (talk) 13:55, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I have re-opened the nomination. North America1000 13:57, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll reply shortly. And I have no interest in endless debate so, if no progress can be made, I'll face up to it quickly enough. WWB (talk) 14:01, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Please see WP:SPOILERS. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:48, 11 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Per my edit summery, WP:SPOILERS is not a mandate to reveal the ending of a film in the lead section. WWB (talk) 17:52, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Per WP:LEAD, the function of that is to summarize the rest of the article. Plots which are summarized in only one sentence that don't explain what actually happens in the bulk of the rest of the article are insufficient. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:54, 11 November 2017 (UTC)


 * This does not undo that; it merely removes plot details from the end of a suspenseful film from the very top of the article. Anyway, I've posted on the article talk page. WWB (talk) 17:59, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Apologies in advance
William: Due to the recent reporting at The Intercept, I'm going to open a COIN case that lists your account. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:22, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Conflict of interest/Noticeboard is the topic. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:38, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up, and I'll be happy to participate (though I'm at a conference the next two days, so I won't have an abundance of time until Wednesday). I'm actually surprised the piece doesn't mention my disclosed work (using my then-account ) on Koch topics—see comment from another editor here. After I left in summer 2010, it seems that someone at NMS after me didn't follow my example, and it caught up with them. Also, funny about me putting Fang's entry up for deletion; I'd forgotten about that, but it's true, and the unsuccessful AfD is here. Looking at the article now, I still think the case for his Notability is fairly weak. WWB (talk) 03:44, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't really see this going anywhere so feel free to be brief in your reply at COIN. I'll be sure you get pinged if anything weird starts happening ☆ Bri (talk) 03:46, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Better to have the discussion than not, since Fang does seem to insinuate nefarious practices and intents on my part. He's wrong, and I have nothing to hide, so if anyone else has more questions, I'll certainly share my perspective. WWB (talk) 04:00, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

"I'd let others judge notability rather than remove the tag yourself."

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with. Remember to sign your reply with. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Portland Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon: March 12, 2022
You are invited! An Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more here!

Wikipedia is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Wikipedia and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Wikipedia editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!

Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.

This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:37, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
