Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Administrator Elections: Voting phase
[edit]The voting phase of the October 2024 administrator elections has started and continues until 23:59 31st October 2024 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Voting phase.
As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
- October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
- November 1–? - Scrutineering phase
In the voting phase, the candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies for a vote will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RFA.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

An editor has asked for a Move review of AIM-174B. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. MWFwiki (talk) 23:44, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Thanks for listing the AIM-174B discussion at the Close requests page. I wasn't even aware that page existed. And yes, I realize that it would have been improper for you to close it at that point. I was just hoping you or the other user knew of a way to expedite getting it closed. And you did. So thanks.

[edit]- From the editors: Editing Wikipedia should not be a crime
- In the media: An old scrimmage, politics and purported libel
- Special report: Wikipedia editors face litigation, censorship
- Traffic report: Twisted tricks or tempting treats?
RE: Talk:LVOA-C
[edit]Please note: There hasn't been any discussion yet, the other comments immediately below the move template are from 2017. I made the mistake of posting the template at the top of the page, but nothing else there is related. I have moved it to the bottom again, as it should be, and re-merged my duplicate comment. I apologize for any confusion. - Adolphus79 (talk) 14:13, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Adolphus79 No problem, I'd be a hypocrite if I said I don't make my own share of mistakes around here, and I didn't even notice that the content from the top wasn't actually part of the discussion. I just didn't want the discussion to end up delayed due to that, thanks for letting me know! ASUKITE 14:51, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- That's actually what made me move it, because the comment immediately below now appeared to be related to the request at first glance. - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:16, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Looks like you forgot to move the talk page
[edit]It looks like you missed your move the talk page for Talk:Lost (TV series). Raladic (talk) 21:07, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Raladic I wasn't able to, somehow the talk page was move protected and not the article. Normally when closing RMs, checking protection on the main page is part of my workflow, I've never thought to check the talk page as well, but that's something I'll be doing going forward!

Gabriel Weinberg (DuckDuckGo)
[edit]Please I want to know why you redirected the page to DuckDuckGo Wikipedia article Spaceteez (talk) 16:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Spaceteez Because we had a discussion already about this page: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gabriel Weinberg, in which it was decided to be deleted. In that case, the article would qualify for speedy deletion under CSD G4, or
Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion
. In this case, I redirected it instead of marking for deletion as the disambiguation (DuckDuckGo), while probably not necessary, wasn't hurting either as a possible redirect. My recommendation would be to draft an article at WP:AFC or in userspace before publishing, assuming you can find enough sources to alleviate the WP:GNG and WP:NBIO concerns brought up in that discussion, at which point it can be moved into mainspace (and could possibly be put up for discussion a second time, hence the focus on good sourcing first) Hope that helps!
