Fragmented conversations hurt my brain. |
I will respond here to comments that are posted here, and, well, elsewhere to comments posted elsewhere. Please, please don't fragment a conversation just to get my attention—if I comment at a page, it's a very safe assumption that I have watchlisted it. If you are concerned that I might miss a post elsewhere, use {{Talkback}} to notify me here.

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
Administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
I was so reckless in editing pages that I was a fool to realize that I was doing so without going to external sources. If NavSource is on the external sources for ship awards, I would have been likely to edit, but with caution. I like to add ribbons because I want people to visually see for themselves what awards the ships had been. But I am sorry for editing too much. I'm not asking you at this time to unblock me, but please read this statement. Ugaria (talk) 23:05, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Tag bombing
[edit]Hi, sorry for tag bombing your new article, I was just looking at new articles in recent changes, and noticed that yours didn't have any sources, so I naturally gave it the unreferenced tag. Apologies about that. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 20:06, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi - I understand what you're doing, but some editors find it grating to have tags applied when they're in the middle of editing a page (since it can cause edit conflicts). I also don't see a lot of value in simply tagging articles for the sake of tagging them; I'd just as soon solve the problem if I can. Parsecboy (talk) 20:09, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll keep this in mind. Thanks. I'm still somewhat new to Wikipedia policies, so I'll be a bit more careful in the future. Have a nice day (or night). RedactedHumanoid (talk) 20:14, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, and yeah, I had seen on your userpage you started editing just last year - I'm not a whole lot from 20 years (so I probably ought to keep in mind that not everyone has been around even half that long). Mid-afternoon here, so a nice day is still in the cards, and the same to you! Parsecboy (talk) 20:17, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Sfn error in SMS Habsburg (1865)
[edit]Hi, in this edit to SMS Habsburg (1865) you add {{sfn|Ziegler|pp=16–17, 21}}. Unfortunately this causes a no-target error. There are three Ziegler sources listed in the article, Ziegler 1870, Ziegler 1871, and Ziegler 1872. If you could fix the error it would be appreciated. DuncanHill (talk) 18:10, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Good catch, of course it's the last thing I did before I got up ;) Thanks for letting me know. Parsecboy (talk) 18:50, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

USS Massachusetts
[edit]Okay, fair enough. It was done in good faith. I didn't see how I was making it less precise or harder to edit. I have been chided by many admins in the past on leaving refs stacked like that. Boo Boo (talk) 18:33, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- From my talk page - "I didn't see how it hurt. Had been taken to task for leaving refs stacked like that. It was done in good faith, and I've never been criticized for putting it in this style. When I edit pages, it is the style I was told to use by admins. The parentheses are to make it more conforming to Chicago MoS. I HAVE been criticized for leaving it in the tsyle it is now, HOWEVER, since you object and are taking ownership of the article, I'll leave it. Take care and have a good weekend. Boo Boo (talk) 18:41, 17 January 2025 (UTC)"
- Nerts! I went back and looked at the reversions I missed on this article. I missed your comments. Sorry, again, done in good faith. Boo Boo (talk) 18:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Not a huge deal - I was probably more frustrated with IRL stuff anyway - I'm sorry if I came off angry. No harm done, have a nice weekend. Parsecboy (talk) 11:24, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Interest
[edit]Hello Parsecboy, trust you're well. Because you GA reviewed Battle of Ekiokpagha, you might be interested in Uwa. Kindly take a look, thank you! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:59, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

- Congratulations on yet another GA review, Parsecboy! I thoroughly enjoy your writing style and research, and this is no expetion. At this rate, I feel that you should have autopatrol rights for the GA process, thus elevating every article published to GA status :) GGOTCC (talk) 21:16, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, though even after all this time, I still miss things, as Matarisvan pointed out on the review page ;) Parsecboy (talk) 23:23, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

TFL notification
[edit]Hi, Parsecboy. I'm just posting to let you know that List of protected cruisers of France – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for March 10. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 22:29, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks Giants, I'll take a look at the list before then and make sure no dust has gathered, but it should be in good shape, as it isn't that old. Parsecboy (talk) 10:10, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
The Tsar's Last Armada
[edit]The version I've got says its from Perseus Press although it does say it was printed in new york.©Geni (talk) 23:12, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- Huh - does it actually say Perseus Press? The version I saw on Google Books said it was published by Basic Books, an imprint of Perseus Books Group (and the Perseus Books Group page doesn't list a Perseus Press as a current or former imprint). The Worldcat entry for the book does list the publisher as Perseus Press, but I've known Worldcat to be sketchy on details (and you'll note they misspelled the author's first name!) Parsecboy (talk) 18:46, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- It does say Perseus Press.©Geni (talk) 02:32, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Interesting - I'll switch it back. Thanks! Parsecboy (talk) 10:02, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
