A belated welcome!
The welcome may be belated, but the cookies are still warm!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Physeters! I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may still benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
I notice you have a fancy signature (which looks cool). But I'm wondering-- do you have a way of typing in four tildes (four of these-- "~") to make your fancy signature then automatically appear?
Or do you have another short-cut way to do it?
Or do you have to always cut and paste in the code for your fancy signature each time?
Hi @Chesapeake77! I do have a way of adding my signature by typing four tildes. The way to change it from the automatic signature is very simple. What you need to do is, navigate to https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Special:Preferences, and scroll down until you see "Signature". Copy your signature's html code into the text box and check "Treat the above as wiki markup" and then press save. This will make your tilde signature the custom signature you've designed as long as it 255 characters or shorter (yours is 215 characters in length, so in theory, you could add even more to you signature if you like). By the way, I think your signature looks very nice! Physeters✉
Oh, and I forgot, if you want the signature to show up on other wikimedia websites, you have to update your signature in the same manner as laid out above on each website. So for example, if you wanted to update it on Wikimedia Commons, you would go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences and do the same as instructed above for Wikipedia.

Thanks so very much for taking the time to explain this! :)
And thanks for the compliment on my sig!
I hope it's OK that I copied all of this to my Sandbox, just in case you want to clear things off over here at some point.
@Chesapeake77 You are very welcome. It is perfectly fine to keep a copy of this correspondence, though I don't intend to blank this section any time soon. Please let me know when you get it all working! Physeters✉06:50, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Just an FYI, but it is generally best practice to strike out your comments once they are outdated or if you are correcting an error once anyone has commented in reply. The change you made at the Vex/Heraldry Wikiproject isn't problematic, but it can cause unnecessary drama at more contentious forums. BTW, my suggestion still stands: you have a physical flag; that should be your lodestar in vectorizing. VanIsaac, MPLLcontWpWS03:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice @Vanisaac. I will strike out outdated comments going forward. As to which flag to use, I am going to give it a couple of more days to see where consensus falls, but more likely than not, I will end up going with your suggestion. Physeters✉05:13, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
Could you please create a map like you did for the occupied territories of Kyiv and Kharkiv Oblasts?
Could you please create a map like you did for the occupied territories of Kyiv and Kharkiv Oblasts, just as you did with the other occupation pages? Danielg532 (talk) 22:06, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
If I understand correctly, you want me to make .svg occupation maps for Kyiv and Kharkiv Oblasts? I'll get to work on them if this is what you want. Physeters✉22:13, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
@Danielg532 Here is a map of Kharkiv Oblast. Someone else has already made one for Kyiv Oblast.Russian Occupation of Kharkiv OblastRussian Occupation of Kyiv OblastPhyseters✉05:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Could you please make a map for the Mykolaiv Oblast Occupation
Hello, sorry to bother you again but could you please create another map for the occupation of the Mykolaiv Oblast with Pervomaiske and Novopetrivka since they are the 2nd and 3rd most populous areas in the occupation authority? Thanks! Danielg532 (talk) 23:43, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Partly done I've added Novopetrivka. However, Pervomaiske appears to be under Ukrainian control, not Russian.Russian Occupation of Mykolaiv OblastPhyseters✉00:48, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Yep, that's definitely a typo. I accidentally typed something in that line and I guess I didn't fully clear it. I apologize and hope it didn't break anything. Thanks for the heads up @Nurg. Physeters✉23:40, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Hey Physeters, I just wanted to say thanks for fixing (just about) all of the w3c errors on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine map, as there was a quite lot of them for quite a long time. That's it 🙂 Johnson524 (Talk!) 15:18, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. 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.
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Blaze Wolf was:
This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
The comment the reviewer left was:
The first 3 sources are primary and don't establish notability. The 4th source seems to be routine coverage and not in-depth. The 5th source is account walled (I need an account to read it) so I'm unable to view it.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Chester County Hospital and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Russian vessels according to their news have already completely taken the Luhansk region. Well, you have already understood the hint?))) 46.138.11.160 (talk) 15:14, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to say, but that is probably because of poor translation. As far as I know, Russian forces control around 99% of Luhansk Oblast, with Ukraine controlling a few small villages along the border with Donetsk & Kharkiv Oblasts. Russia has advanced around Kreminna in the past couple of days. Is that what you are referring to, or are you trying to say that since the Russian media says that they have full control of Luhansk, that it must be true/false? Physeters✉19:01, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
Partly done I've added Novopetrivka. However, Pervomaiske appears to be under Ukrainian control, not Russian.
