Shortening of Wikiproject userbox titles

Was there a discussion regarding the en masse recent shortening of Wikiproject userbox names e.g. here? — Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 08:01, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's not an idea of mine. I'm usually bold, but we just need a pattern to automate the recognition of WikiProject userboxes. Names like User X1, User WikiX, User X WikiProject and User WikiProject X don't have a pattern at all, while User WP X is the standard naming convention already used in all regional userboxes (e.g. User WP France, User WP Italy, User WP Germany, User WP Argentina, User WP China... all based on Template:User in region). I don't know who chose it, nor when, but that's the standard for literally thousands of userboxes... and it works. —Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 11:27, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Logo issue on WikiProject Autism

Hey! I noticed your post on WP:TEA talking about this. I myself am autistic and would like to provide some input on that. Would you mind explaining to me what is going on in that discussion since it isn't exactly all that clear to me. For the record, I don't see the Wikipedia logo as offensive to people with Autism. IT's merely coincidence that it happens to look like the rainbow puzzle piece. I think the rainbow Wikipedia logo could look a bit better (with a gradient in color instead of each puzzle piece having 1 color assigned to it). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:31, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blaze Wolf, thanks for offering your opinion! Basically, some WikiProject Autism members consider the puzzle logo offensive to autistic people, because they associate it with groups like Autism Speaks. That's a coincidence, like you said. But I agree with you on the colors, there's too much contrast and the result is somehow dark. If you'd like to mediate or make a proposal, please join the main talk. Thank you, —Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 18:52, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging pages for deletion

Hello, Est. 2021,

Every time you tag a page for any type of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/TFD/CFD/etc.), you need to post a notification on the talk page of the page creator so they are made aware of the deletion. This is an obligatory part of the deletion process. This is done most easily by using Twinkle, an editing tool, to tag pages for deletion. Once you set up your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator", then Twinkle will post these notices for you. Also, in your Twinkle Preferences, check the box for each speedy deletion criteria.

If you choose not to use Twinkle, then you need to compose your own notices and post them yourself. Please do this in the future, every time you tag a page for deletion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:56, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Liz: Oh, I didn't know it counted for subtemplate pages, sorry. Thanks for letting me know, Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 03:58, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Birthday!

Meloni

The lead in this article doesn’t include footnotes, all the footnotes are later on. Would you please move them to later in the article? Then the lead summarizes what’s later in the article, so please make sure to add support later in the article for whatever you put into the lead. Also, it would be better to use a secondary source instead of Meloni’s website. Thanks. Anythingyouwant (talk) 05:09, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Anythingyouwant: That's ok. I added them to justify the correction of false POV statements. I'm going to remove those footnotes from the lead and move them to later in the article, but please make sure that the false POV statements are not reintroduced in the next days. Thanks. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 05:16, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Easier said than done! It might help if you try discussing it at the article talk page. If that doesn’t work, and you are disappointed with the responses, then maybe WP:BLPN. Anythingyouwant (talk) 11:59, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

October 2022

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Giorgia Meloni. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 01:03, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaze Wolf: I'm actually the user who started the talk:Giorgia Meloni#Immigration BEFORE the edit war, and I'm the user who reported this edit war to the noticeboard. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 01:14, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And you're continuing to war. I would just leave it alone and wait for it to get settled at the noticeboard. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 01:17, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaze Wolf: I won't let those false statement there to be read by million of students and common researchers. He even falsely accused me not once, but thee times, while he deleted whole paragraphs and references. I reported him to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring too. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 01:19, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stop edit warring. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 01:31, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaze Wolf: I did stop. But as you can see, during my rollbacks to recover the text he repeatedly deleted, I didn't delete anything but the false unsourced statement, I kept the paragraph and references he added, organically inserting them all in the body of the previous text in order to keep it logical. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 01:42, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care who the hell did what. Both of you were edit warring. I'm not getting involved in this crap any further. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 01:44, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaze Wolf: Haha, understandable. Have a nice day. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 01:46, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seraglio

Please do not move any more pages relating (even remotely!) to Seraglio without prior discussion on the relevant talk-page – your grasp of our policy and practice on page moves seems less than sufficient. I don't know why you thought it a good idea to separate Talk:Seraglio from the article it belongs to, but it was not. Please, stop this before it turns into trouble. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:43, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

discretionary sanctions alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Balkans or Eastern Europe. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
