Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Susan Twist, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Series. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
In the Assassination of Hassan Nasrallah article, can you add a metric converter for the 5000 pound bomb {Convert} also showing it in kilograms? 95% of the world population use only the metric system in their daily lives, and likely may not know imperial units. Converters for metric/imperial units are used in articles in English Wikipedia for this reason.
In the Assassination of Hassan Nasrallah article, can you actually display the specific bomb Mark 84 bomb which has been obscured in the Wikilink under the label "2,000-pound bombs", when the other bunker buster bombs like BLU-109 bomb are displayed in the article?
Hi Oirattas, this is getting well outside of my comfort zone as I really do not know much about bombs so I could easily make a mistake here. I would suggest making an edit request on the article talk page so that a more knowledgeable editor can pick it up. You can read more about edit requests – it is usually better to make these requests on the appropriate article talk page than to approach individual editors who may not be able to fulfil the request. — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · contribs · email) 14:14, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi ClaudineChionh. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:
Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 08:29, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Welcome, welcome, welcome ClaudineChionh! I'm glad that you are joining the November 2024 drive! Please, have a cup of WikiTea, and go cite some articles.
Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Cara Claudine,
Two phrases from your users' page sounded so very familiar that I cannot resist posting a small personal word of harmony:
I keep coming back because humanity keeps finding new ways to spread ignorance and misinformation.
That's very true and very sad. Commercial greed and political power strife are driving forces, and both must be considered and treated as evil. It is a citizen's duty to detect and defy such misuse of WP, and of the www in general.
I identify as a WikiGnome and find more satisfaction in making improvements to existing articles than creating new ones.
Myself have given up trying to create new articles, having too often been thwarted by a certain category of WP civil servants who prefer turning down well-meant effort to improving articles that so deserve.
I hope you are doing well and your dedication to the protection of free speech and knowledge is inspiring! You have been an editor six years longer than I have been alive! I hope to one day reach your level of dedication.
Hi Claudine. It’s me - 69.122.9.87. Haha. That’s not my name. That was my IP address yesterday. I had been having a hard time logging into Wikipedia. But I did it now. Go me! (TranpleZone isn’t my real name either.)
Anyway, I just want to thank you again for being such an awesome editor. You explained to me why my entry was flagged as vandalism. Oops! My bad! I was just trying to make an article interesting. Thanks for your awesome feedback! So helpful! You rock! Go you! Thanks again.
Hey Claudine. Have you read my messages? I want to make sure you know that I think you’re the best Wikipedia editor! The best! Is there a contest for that? I’ll vote for you 20x. Would that be enough for you to win? I would vote 100x. Maybe I’d do 99 votes for you and 1 for someone else so I don’t look too biased. Just tell me where and when, and I’ll do it. Thanks again!
Hi Claudine. Thank you for your reply! I'm not looking for anything! I'm sorry for giving you the impression that I was. I'm just trying to have fun on Wikipedia. This is such a great resource. But sometimes I wish it could be a little more fun. Like why can't we make harmless jokes on here?
But actually, now that you've asked, I really could use your help... I have a theory. But it's more like the theory of gravity, where it's just so obviously true. Wait - gravity is a law, not a theory, right? But you know what I mean, right? This thing is so obviously true, you'd have to be a dumb dumb not to agree...
Check out the article for It's Raining. It's Pouring: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/It's_Raining%2C_It's_Pouring. (Maybe that's where you corrected my *** OOPS *** act of vandalism - I can't remember - I vandalized a couple pages that night)....
You know that nursery rhyme, right?
It's Raining. It's Pouring.
The Old Man is Snoring.
He bumped his head
And went to bed
And didn't get up in the morning.
It's a bunch of non-sequiturs UNLESS "It's raining. It's pouring" means he was out getting drunk. It's raining = The beer was flowing. It's pouring = REALLY FLOWING. Then he bumps his head because why? HE'S DRUNK! he goes into a deep sleep, so he's snoring because HE'S DRUNK. And he didn't get up in the morning BECAUSE HE'S STILL DRUNK!!! Duh! Like double triple quadruple duh! As obvious as the earth is round.
So I keep putting that theory on the page, but I don't have a source other than my big giant brain. And it stays there for a while until some dumb dumb (not you - that was something similar but different!!!) removes it because I don't have a source. But there's another interpretation they keep in because some dopey neuroscientist had a theory that makes ZERO sense. That doofus says the old man is dead. Dude - he's snoring - he's not dead.
This is my quest in life. Some people want to cure cancer. Others want to end homelessness. I just want to teach earth's 7 billion human inhabitants that that the old man was hammered.
Can you please help me get my theory the proper citation to stay in there? I mean why can't I be considered a subject area expert worthy of citation? I could give a Ted Talk or do a podcast on it. Bonus points if you can get the scientist's nonsense out of there as well.
Will you, Claudine Chionh - Wikipedia editor superstar, join me on my quest? if so, I will vote for you in that contest. Oh wait - there's no contest. I'll make a contest for you!
History6042: Great! I am actually about to head off on holiday for a few days and will probably be offline for much of the time. I think you can renominate it and any interested reviewer can pick it up if I don't get to it first. No promises about timeliness though; when I get back from holiday I will be going almost straight into a very busy period at work. — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · contribs · email) 22:36, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
OpenLib: the link to the guidelines for external links was in the message I left you: External links. In particular, external links normally should not be placed in the body of an article, and if the website or page to which you want to link includes information that is not yet a part of the article, consider using it as a source for the article, and citing it. Before trying to add any more external links to articles, please read that guideline page. Reliable sources is another relevant guideline. — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · contribs · email · global) 23:54, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for good article nomination reviews will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog.
Barnstars will be awarded based on the number, length, and age of nominations reviewed.
Each article review will earn 1 point; for each 90 days an article has been in the backlog, an additional half-point is awarded; one extra point will be awarded for every 2500 total reviewed words.
November 2024 WikiProject Unreferenced articles backlog drive – award
Citation Barnstar
This award is given in recognition to ClaudineChionh for collecting more than 5.0 points during the WikiProject Unreferenced articles's NOV24 backlog drive. Your contributions played a crucial role in sourcing over 8,000 unsourced articles during the drive. Thank you so much for participating and helping to reduce the backlog! – DreamRimmer Alt (talk) 18:11, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 26
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays! Aaron Liu (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Featured script
Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.
Miscellaneous
Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...
BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.
