Putlibai dacoit

Thanks for your edit. But this edit appears wrong to me. The correct name of the dacoit is Putlibai, as you can check in several references. Somehow, the page now directs to a person called "Put Libai". There is no such person. Anil1956 (talk) 13:17, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Hilst!

  • The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
  • We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
  • Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
  • Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
  • If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

New page reviewer granted

Hi Hilst. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

  • Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
  • If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
  • Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
  • Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:55, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! – Hilst [talk] 16:59, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Request to review the new page SpaceX Starshield

Hey, I'd appreciate if you could review this page: SpaceX Starshield. If you have any advice I'll take note of it. Thank you for your time. CodemWiki (talk) 23:39, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

@CodemWiki: Sorry, but I can't do that, as it would be unfair to the other editors who have been in the queue for longer. I'm sure another reviewer will get to it soon. – Hilst [talk] 00:21, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
There is already a bunch of misinformation going around on Facebook and Reddit about Starshield, because news articles/posts keeps popping about it but there is no wikipedia lede indexable by Google to explain to people what is Starshield. All that because the vital wikipedia article SpaceX Starshield is stuck in the review backlog purgatory. :/ CodemWiki (talk) 21:37, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
Sorry, nothing I can do about it. – Hilst [talk] 23:45, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

It's never quite the last of it!

The Dictionary of Women Worldwide has an entry for 'Putli Bai (1929–1959)'. I was therefore going to create a redirect from 'Putli Bai' to Putlibai (dacoit), but then saw (1) that we already have Putlibai redirecting to Putlibai Gandhi, and (2) that recently you'd been carefully untangling some pages here and hadn't left a redirect when you did the page move. Where if anywhere do you think 'Putli Bai' should point? Dsp13 (talk) 15:42, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Not again.......
@Dsp13: I'll be honest, I have absolutely no idea. Maybe create a WP:DAB at Putlibai and point Putli Bai to it? – Hilst [talk] 15:53, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. I'll do that. Thanks! Dsp13 (talk) 16:32, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Bluey RM close

Hi Hilst, did you intend to write consensus not to move (rather than no consensus) at Talk:Bluey (2018 TV series) § Requested move 26 February 2024? I'm a little surprised by that outcome. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 05:06, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes. – Hilst [talk] 10:19, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
I see. Would you mind explaining your rationale? Hameltion (talk | contribs) 17:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
I found that there was a fairly straightforward consensus against the move, due to recentism and long-term significance issues. Weighing in the other RMs as well, it's very clear that there is no primary topic. – Hilst [talk] 17:28, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
I'll accept that recentism concerns were not rebutted, but I disagree that long-term significance was well argued in opposes; as I noted in the discussion, they cited no evidence for that claim. (Having multiple RMs can also suggest that there is organic interest for the move.) Would you consider reopening the discussion or changing to no consensus? Hameltion (talk | contribs) 18:11, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
I don't think reopening is really worth it (like TheTechnician17 said, this has already been discussed three times in less than two years). No consensus is functionally the same thing as not moved imo, but I'll change it nonetheless. – Hilst [talk] 19:02, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
I'll add that I believe there was a clear consensus not to move. The original close was correct and should not have been changed to no consensus, as that just gives ammunition to yet another RM. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:32, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

  • Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
  • Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
  • Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
  • Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
  • Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
  • Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
  • Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
  • Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
  • Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
  • Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
  • Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
  • Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
  • Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
  • Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
  • Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
  • Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
  • Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Football vs. sports

I spotted this edit; were you aware that "football" was recently made a valid GA topic? The GAR is sorted into the relevant GA topic on WP:GAN -- that's why it was set to "football". Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 23:21, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

@Mike Christie: The talk page was in Category:Good articles without topic parameter. – Hilst [talk] 23:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Thanks -- hadn't realized that that would be a side-effect. It's also caused a minor issue at {{Article history}}. I'll post at WT:GAN to see if anyone knows how to address the category issue. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:44, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Hilst/Archives,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

The only problem I can see with your conversion on Rona-Frank was that you should have put Aus instead of the FMS for Rona, as Rona was primarily monitored by the BoM, however, this is more of a silly tweak.

MKS Cracovia page move

Hi there! I wanted to discuss a possible move for MKS Cracovia, a Polish football club. On 13 June 2024, they changed their name to 'KS Cracovia SA',[1] on in full, 'Klub Sportowy Cracovia Spółka Akcyjna', dropping the 'Miejski' (Municipal) part. I'm not currently sure whether the change also affects other sections, like ice hockey and handball, but the former has started using the updated logo, which was released along with the name change announcement.

It would therefore be more fitting to move the page for the football club, as 'MKS Cracovia' would now only refer to the owners, MKS Cracovia SSA (from what I've gathered, they are yet to submit a notion to the Polish Business Registry regarding changing their name, if they're even planning to do that at all). Would moving it to 'Cracovia (football)' be the most fitting, to avoid issues in the future if the name/legal entity was to change again? Take care! KibolLP (talk) 23:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

@KibolLP: Sorry but I'm not really working with page moves anymore. You should start a move request in the article's talk page, since your suggested title was rejected in a previous RM and is considered "controversial" (see WP:PCM). – Hilst [talk] 00:50, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Climate change and insurance in the United States article - Content assessment

Hello Hilst! As the creator and principal contributor to the Climate change and insurance in the United States article, I noticed that you were the editor that rated the article. After reviewing WP:ASSESS, I'm just curious what content in the article you felt satisfied a B-Class rating, how the article would be rated in its present revision, and what would need to improve the article to good article or featured article status. Thanks! -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 16:40, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

@CommonKnowledgeCreator: I don't remember. It just felt like B-Class, I guess. I'm not seeing any glaring issues right now, it should pass a GAN as is. I'm not familiar enough with the FA criteria to give you accurate advice, sorry. – Hilst (talk | contribs) 19:13, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024

Hello Hilst:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Administrator Elections: Call for Candidates

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Call for candidates.

Here is the schedule:

  • October 8–14 - Candidate sign-up (we are here)
  • October 22–24 - Discussion phase
  • October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

  • The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
  • Prospective candidates are advised to become familar with the community's expectations of adminstrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
  • The process will have a one week call for candidates phase, a one week pause to set up SecurePoll, a three-day period of public discussion, followed by 7 days of no public discussion and a private vote using SecurePoll.
  • The outcomes of this process are identical to making requests for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA or administrator elections.
  • Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

Administrator Elections: Discussion phase

Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

The discussion phase of the October 2024 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • October 22–24 - Discussion phase
  • October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
  • November 1–? - Scrutineering phase

During October 22–24, we will be in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages will open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Discussion phase.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone 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.

TemplateStyles conversions

Could you please stop indiscriminately converting trivial styling like Template:Zombies to TemplateStyles? Doing that IMO just adds a layer of indirection for no actual value. Thanks. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

The value is in clearing out Category:Sidebars with styles needing conversion. I'd rather convert trivial templates than remove their styling outright. – 🌻 Hilst (talk | contribs) 21:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

TFA

Thank you today for Suicidal Tour, "about a tour undertaken by a Brazilian football club which quickly spiraled into chaos, becoming more and more unbelievable as it goes on. My first FAC"! You did it! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:49, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Precious

culture of Brazil

Thank you for quality articles such as Suicidal Tour, Adelir Antônio de Carli and Hilda Hilst, for contributing to events ITN and formatting references, for improving templates and fixing deprecated ones, for promoting DYK, for listening to reviewers and explaining "nothing more funny yet annoying ...", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2957 of Precious, a prize of QAI. - I just returned from my second trip to Brazil, more and pictures on my talk. Sorry, I like to award on TFA day, but it was a funeral day. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Good article nominee

Hello, I recently nominated the article Le langaige du Bresil as a good article under the Language and literature subtopic, though I believe it could also fit under World history. Since you have not "contributed significantly" to the article, you might be able to review it according to the criteria. I would like to know if, having the necessary skills for this, you would be willing to do so. Thank you, RodRabelo7 (talk) 12:37, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

@RodRabelo7: Sorry, but I'm not really into reviewing articles. Hopefully someone else can handle your request! – 🌻 Hilst (talk | contribs) 20:35, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
