== How we will see unregistered users ==

<section begin=content/>
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on ] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can ]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can ] to ].

We have ] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can ]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you.

Your long description didn't provide any diffs. Any comment quoted me on is in arbitration enforcement space which is typically handled by clerks and you could have asked for redaction if you found them problematic. You didn't bring any diffs where this sanction would have stopped a single thing that happened. MarkBernstein is also being discussed again at AE by yet another editor. I agreed informally to your request and without evidence and diffs, per Ed Johnston, there is nothing you cited that warrants the sanction. You didn't delineate who made what comments. I don't believe you followed the consensus of the other admins that asked for evidence. Please undo your sanction as I have agreed to not do (and didn't do) what your sanction says. --] (]) 18:20, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
:Always feels a little strange to post these notices on admins' and long-time editors' talk pages. Of course, you can restore this draft if you want to return to editing it. You should be receiving 5 month reminder notices from FireflyBot but I don't see them here. The bot seems to send out reminders to only about 75% of expiring drafts by my guestimate. It focuses on drafts that go through AFC channels rather than all draft pages.

if you really want to avoid drama, undue your sanction. It will only drag out an appeal per EdJohnston's comment. If your interest is getting back to building the encyclopedia, that type of sanction is unhelpful and the continuing AE requests regarding MarkBernstein shows that your solution didn't solve anything. --] (]) 19:14, 13 March 2015 (UTC)


== New administrator activity requirement ==
BTW, here is MB's response to the AE request brought by "NE Ent." Note he repeats a lot of stuff not related to the AE request and, quite openly, repeats the statement that led to his topic ban (see item 10). If you really want the drama amped down, dealing with that kind of stuff is necessary. How successful has all this been in removing that kind of continued rhetoric and agreeing with your sanction proposal? --] (]) 19:31, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gamaliel, I submitted articles to the 100 DC Women event. I used the small blue button rather than the big blue button for submission, so they didn't wind up on the visible list: Edwilda Gustava Allen Isaac and Ellen Wetherald Ahrens. Is there a way to fix/change this? I'll try my best to do it right going forward. Thanks for looking into this (if you have time). ] (]) 20:46, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

:{{ping|WomenArtistUpdates}} Thank you for participating! The list on ] has to be updated manually, and I've added your articles to it just now.

== I hope you can see why I did what I did ==

It was nothing personal towards you or the edits you made. I simply adore your work on women's biographies. I reverted because a) the current version, albeit I can agree is flawed, is the stable version and removing it wouldn't really bring attention to the issues or improve the article and b) I knew it would provide a reconnection point to start discussions on improvement and finish it this time. The edits you removed were slipped in as we opened discussions about those issues on the talk page. Even so we left the article as it was to avoid edit warring. Now, I hope we get somewhere and finally put this to rest. Thank you so much for your contributions. --]] 13:48, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

:{{ping|ARoseWolf}} Thank you for your note. Whatever our differences about procedural matters, I know we have the best interests of the article at heart.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Gamaliel!

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Misplaced Pages friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. &mdash; <samp>] <sup style="font-size:80%;">]</sup></samp> \\ 18:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi,

Your user talk page has been semi-protected since 2016 by Doug Weller. Can you think of any reason why indefinite semi-protection is still necessary, if it ever was? Doug Weller could not. ] (]) 15:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

::Whoa! Where is this hostility coming from? How did I reserve this? Please explain how your response to me specifically justified maintaining the status quo? I can be completely transparent: the idea for requesting unprotection stemmed from seeing the protection info in an edit dialog here and subscribing to the principles outlined in the ] essay. ] (]) 17:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

:A good reason, I think, is that I do not wish to receive any further death threats on my user talk page. I only wish to edit quietly and unmolested, please respect that. ] <small>(])</small> 15:59, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

:::Thank you. ] <small>(])</small> 17:32, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
:::Hi Drmies, your name and this situation reminded me of an instance of where you pre-emptively semi-protected, in my opinion against ] policy, a redirect (if I recall correctly). I asked to unprotect, which you did. No drama. I don't remember if I thanked you back then, but thanks. ] (]) 17:42, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

::I can understand your feelings as a human. I feel sorry for you.{{pb}}So you must think you would still receive threats if your user talk page is unprotected. How long do you think the protection is necessary? Five years? Ten years? Forever? If someone ''really, really, really'' would like to persistently harass you, do you think semi-protection would prevent them much? ] (]) 17:31, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

==Feminism and Folklore Fountain tool==
I was wondering, Gamaliel, whether there have been any problems with the articles I have been submitting to the Fountain tool in connection with ]. It has been quite some time since any of them have been processed. I have seen that other contributors have been submitting their contributions directly to . It's not that I'm interested in the prizes but I think it would be useful to other contributors if they were able to cover some of those I have developed. In other words, would it help if I also submitted my articles to the central F&F site or is there a direct interface between your WiR Fountain tool and the central tallying?--] (]) 17:34, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

:I apologize, I've been swamped with work and it's cut into my article writing and WIR time. The global organizers told me to set up a local fountain but if they are accepting en.wp articles at the global fountain maybe that's the best approach instead of the local fountain? ] <small>(])</small> 18:09, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

::The global fountain does not seem to have been anything like as active as our own WiR. We appear to have created 80 of the 120 articles now listed (which also include our own). I don't know whether they will now be assessed by the other judges or to what extent they are still relying on you. None of my articles added to the global fountain since 18 March have yet been assessed. That means that 30 of the 41 I have created appear to be awaiting assessment. But I suppose everything is under control. For your information, I am not interested in any prize money or book vouchers. I have simply been interested in improving our coverage of women in folklore and have tried to abide by the rules of the contest.--] (]) 12:58, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

:I will start assessing them on our local Fountain but I will ask for some help from WIR folks as I am swamped in real life. I'm not one of the international judges so I don't know why they aren't assessing their articles on the global Fountain. ] <small>(])</small> 14:03, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

::Please don't devote time to this if you have other priorities. I see that some of the fountains associated with the Indian languages already list the assessments of many competitors who have created hundreds of articles each. If you wait for a few days, those from the global English-language fountain may also have been assessed. I've also just noticed from a message on this page that the contest has now been extended until 15 April. I'm not sure how important this is to Women in Red. It certainly seem very strange to me to make an extension at this stage.--] (]) 15:00, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

::::{{u|Haoreima}}: As the contest has now been extended until 15 April, there are now opportunities for you and other competitors to add more articles. As you are also a judge on the central fountain, you should also take into account that I am not interested in any prizes.--] (]) 13:46, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

We would like to have your immense participation in the writing contest to document your local Folk culture on Misplaced Pages. You can also help with the translation of ] and share a word in your local language.

Best wishes,

As you may have seen, I'm doing a retrospective of April Fools on Misplaced Pages, and next issue will start in 2016. Which means covering the whole Trump/Wales article that caused you to get raked over the coals. I've always said that whole situation was overblown, ridiculous, and a bit of a witch hunt, and I still stand by that, but, well, I feel like I should at least talk to you before I try to write anything about it, as I'd imagine it's a bit of a sore point. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">''']''' <sup>(])</sup><sub>Has about 8.3% of all ].

:{{ping|Adam Cuerden}} We pretty much agree on our view of the situation. It's just another illustration of how Misplaced Pages's ruling cliques are willfully ignorant and utterly impotent when it comes to coping with the weaponization of Misplaced Pages for political ends.

== RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I ==

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the ] 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 ]'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:

* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, provides for the addition of a text box at ] reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
* ''']''' and ''']''', initiated by {{noping|Barkeep49}} and {{noping|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.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|SilkTork}}, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
* ''']''' and ''']''', initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|Lee Vilenski}}, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|Reaper Eternal}}, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
* ''']''', ''']''', and ''']''', initiated by {{noping|City of Silver}}, {{u|Ritchie333}}, and {{u|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%.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|Novem Lingaue}}, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|Kusma}}, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
* ''']''' and ''']''', initiated by {{noping|Thebiguglyalien}} and {{noping|Soni}}, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the ]; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|SchroCat}}, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|theleekycauldron}}, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|SportingFlyer}}, provides for a more robust alternate version of the ].
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|Femke}}, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|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.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see ]. 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! ] (] • she/her), via:

Hello, @]. I was doing content assessment of the article and saw that you had ranked it as a start. I feel like it should be a stub and want your input on it so we don't go into an edit war over it.

I'm British, we don't call black people monkeys, and how would I even know what race you or others are.

"refer to people of minority races as monkeys". Where exactly did I refer to a minority ''race'' as a monkey?? Is it an American thing to call people monkeys? I don't honestly think I've ever heard anybody call somebody a monkey racially in south Wales. My mother used to call me a cheeky monkey when I was a kid, that's the only place I've heard it. If Gamaliel is himself of a "minority" race and has been called that or subject to racial abuse himself then I can at least understand a bit more why he perceived it that way, but it really looks bizarre to even mention race to me. I've used several Sacha Baron Cohen references in relation to wiki administration in recent days. ♦ ] 22:14, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

::So many things can be perceived as racist these days though. I used a Sacha Baron Cohen reference the other day on Admiral General Alahdeen's regime in which it seemed several admins sympathetic to Andy's infobox cause turned up in quick succession. Again I used the reference to giving a monkey a gun or flying a plane to what I perceive to have been a rather long block, and it was light hearted in tone, about expecting to find myself blocked by an eager admin for the slightest thing. Please just remove the remark from the edit summary and I'll remove the post from my talk page.

== User page protocol ==
Hi, ],<br>
I was wondering what the protocol is about appropriating another editor's user page and copying it wholesale into your own. The editor who created the original page is ] (who has not been active in 2015) and the new user is ]. I blanked the page and left them a edit note to create their own user page but I am unsure if this imitation is considered more than just bad form. <font face="Papyrus" size="4" color="#800080">]</font> <sup><font face="Times New Roman" color="#006400">] ]</font></sup> 16:34, 27 March 2015 (UTC) (Nice job on ]!)

:Honestly, I'm not sure. I've skimmed ] but I don't see anything. Copying a page to mock someone is not appropriate, obviously, and we'd put a stop to that. Using other user pages as a template or inspiration is okay. But copying it wholesale, down to the exact same quotes, seems weird and also inappropriate. Maybe they copied it meaning to change the specifics later but keep the formatting? ] <small>(])</small> 16:49, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

== Dr. Blofeld, wikistalking and trolling == == Help with authority control for DNB and NLA ==


Hi! So this issue with incorrect format of authority controls has happened to me more times than I can count, but today's example will suffice. I've done my research and I'm going to start an article on ]. I check Wikidata to see if it already has an item; it doesn't. I check . I create the Wikidata item and I add all the authority controls associated with the VIAF entry. No problem with these: VIAF, LC, ISNI, BIBSYS, J9U. But when I add DNB and NLA, they show problematic marks next to the entry. Do you know the correct format for adding DNB and NLA? Thanks! -- ] (]) 16:02, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
Gamaliel, could you weigh in on a matter stemming from both the "Racism" topic above and the infobox arguments elsewhere? Our Mr. Blofeld here has followed me to an unrelated article and to deliberately toss the "monkey" slur around. Then, a about infoboxes in an article that has never had an infobox debate. By any rational observation, this is trolling. ] (]) 20:53, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

::I occasaionally patrol ] and when you add incorrect identifiers the articles turn up in that category.

:I think Blofeld was just having a humorous joke about why I added a new section to ], because too many users have changed the "Genres" bit on the article's infobox without discussion. So to stop any edit warring, I added that. Blofeld is right that if an admin came across lots of reverts without anything on the talk page, without any of them looking like vandalism, everyone would be edit warring and not trying to get a consensus.

However, I ran into one anachronistic problem. For ], ] and ], there was some aspect of a template that assigned every single recipient of the Signpost during those two months into those categories. So, rather than these two categories containing 30-40 articles published during that month, it contains 700-800+ user pages as well (see ] for the numbers). I've tried looking into the templates but I'm really no expert in this matter and I'm not sure if a assigned category can be retroactively deleted from an old template. But there shouldn't be any user pages in these categories.

:::::::{{ping|Resident Mario}} I don't understand, the problem lies in the issue templates (like on ]) so isn't there a way to change the template so that it doesn't automatically assign categories to each page where the template is placed? I've done this before in instances where the template creator thought it would be helpful for each page that contained the template to be assigned to a certain category but it just caused a lot of confusion, usually like this, with user pages being categorized in subject categories that should only contain articles. If the template was only used a few times, it was simpler to remove the automatic category assignment and then add the category on to the relevant articles that should contain it.
:::::::I don't think that categorization is silliness, I've made 6K+ edits to categories. It's how readers and editors find articles. Plus, the WikiProject Signpost articles are already categorized, so why shouldn't the other subjects be categorized? Unless it was a WikiProject article, the original articles from 2011 were not categorized ''at all'' so it would be just about impossible for a reader to find specific Arbitration Reports or Opinion pieces. Now, you can go to ] and ] to find out what was going on during that year rather than having to look through each individual issue which is what I've had to do in the past. With 52-ish issues each year, that is a lot of time wasted searching for information.

:::::::::{{ping|Liz}} To fix this issue: go to one of the issue indexes, for instance, ], and look at the cat, in this case <code><nowiki>]</nowiki></code>. Whenever a page which contains a category is transcluded that category is trascluded as well, which causes pages containing deliveries, to list themselves in this category as well. You can fix it by wrapping the cat in the "noinclude" tag, which prevents the category from being transcluded, the result being that while the archival page ''is'' in the cat, any ''transclusions'' of the archival page remain un-categorized. At least, that's what I think the issue is. Delivery and storage of ''Signpost'' articles is so damn complicated, and it's never been fully uniform.
:::::::::With regards to cats, yes, ok, this ''would'' be the best way to do this but I and ] have spent a lot of time and effort coming up with a better system, one we're currently actively working on that doesn't use cats at all. If you want gender-gap, ; if you want all op-eds, . All news and notes would be . The system isn't ''perfect'' because it's still being refined. True accuracy will require readers manually going back through the archives and tagging stories. Strad is working on scripts that'll allow us to do just that. Cats just aren't flexible enough for our purposes in this case, and you're duplicating a lot of much more technically sophisticated efforts on our part in a not-smart way.

Women in Red at Wikidatacon 2021

See one, do one, teach one
Thank you for being a panelist on the "Improving women’s biographies on Misplaced Pages using Wikidata tools - Experiences from Women in Red and the Smithsonian Institution" session today at Wikidatacon 2021. --Rosiestep (talk) 23:54, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Christine Elizabeth Abrahamsen

Good day, Gamaliel! I wanted to thank and commend you for your article on Christine Elizabeth Abrahamsen! I also wanted to check with you to see if you planned to submit this article for DYK. If not, let me know and I can submit a hook on your behalf. This would be a wonderful addition for DYK! Thanks again! -- West Virginian (talk) 15:01, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

@West Virginian: Thank you! I didn't think anyone would notice my article. I couldn't think of an interesting hook for DYK but if you have one please submit it with my gratitude. Gamaliel (talk) 18:04, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
Gamaliel, thank you for all your phenomenal contributions, to include this article! I've submitted an initial hook for DYK here: Template:Did you know nominations/Christine Elizabeth Abrahamsen. Please feel free to share any additional hooks in the meantime! -- West Virginian (talk) 22:33, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Great paper

I really liked your paper. It was a shame I missed it when it first came out, but glad I was alerted to it by User:Atsme at the badpersons blog forum. To be honest, I think it may be my favorite work ever written about Misplaced Pages as a phenomenon.

@ජපස and Atsme: Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it. Gamaliel (talk) 19:48, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

I read it today, and I think it's something every experienced editor should read and take on board. I hadn't thought about increasing barriers to entry before, and I think we all should. valereee (talk) 23:15, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Anne Rice Award

Anne Rice Award
The Anne Rice Award honors editors who have improved Misplaced Pages's coverage of women writers by creating a biography of a women writer who used a pen name, nom de plume, literary initials, or pseudonym on the title page or by-line of their works in place of their real name. On behalf of WP:WPWW, thank you for creating the biography on Agnes Woods Mitchell (pen name, A. W. M.); and Christine Elizabeth Abrahamsen (pseudonyms, Christabel and Kathleen Westcott). --Rosiestep (talk) 21:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Beth B. Norden

Hello, Gamaliel. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Beth B. Norden".

If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Your draft article, Draft:Case Breakers

Hello, Gamaliel. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Case Breakers".

In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Misplaced Pages, and happy editing. Liz 19:48, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Always feels a little strange to post these notices on admins' and long-time editors' talk pages. Of course, you can restore this draft if you want to return to editing it. You should be receiving 5 month reminder notices from FireflyBot but I don't see them here. The bot seems to send out reminders to only about 75% of expiring drafts by my guestimate. It focuses on drafts that go through AFC channels rather than all draft pages.
Hope you are well these days! Liz 19:53, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
@Liz: No worries! Your reminders are helpful because often I've forgotten the drafts even existed after six months. Hope things are good on your end. Gamaliel (talk) 20:53, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

New administrator activity requirement

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

  1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
  2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

22:52, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Darren Wershler

Some of the content you added in this edit at Darren Wershler has been tagged as unsourced, and I plan to remove it if it's not cited. As this dates back to before the flood, you likely won't remember much about it. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 00:38, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot: You will not be surprised to learn I have no memory of this author or article! However, I'm fairly sure I used to own an older edition of this book, so that's likely the source if you were interested in antediluvian archaeology. Gamaliel (talk) 02:16, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
Thanks. He's not named in the list of names at the end of the Worldcat record of the 2002 edition but it doesn't contain the full text. Mathglot (talk) 17:48, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

100 DC Women question

Hi Gamaliel, I submitted articles to the 100 DC Women event. I used the small blue button rather than the big blue button for submission, so they didn't wind up on the visible list: Edwilda Gustava Allen Isaac and Ellen Wetherald Ahrens. Is there a way to fix/change this? I'll try my best to do it right going forward. Thanks for looking into this (if you have time). WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 20:46, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

@WomenArtistUpdates: Thank you for participating! The list on Misplaced Pages:100 DC Women has to be updated manually, and I've added your articles to it just now. The Fountain tool (the blue button) keeps track of everything for the contest, the manual list on Misplaced Pages is just for fun. Gamaliel (talk) 20:51, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
Also, I just found Ellen Wetherald Ahrens' death certificate on Ancestry! I'll add it to the article tonight. I'd never heard of the Red Rose Girls before, this is all very fascinating reading, thank you. Gamaliel (talk) 20:55, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks Gamaliel! I see now I can just click the "edit source" button. Here's hoping you get 100 articles. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:04, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

I hope you can see why I did what I did

It was nothing personal towards you or the edits you made. I simply adore your work on women's biographies. I reverted because a) the current version, albeit I can agree is flawed, is the stable version and removing it wouldn't really bring attention to the issues or improve the article and b) I knew it would provide a reconnection point to start discussions on improvement and finish it this time. The edits you removed were slipped in as we opened discussions about those issues on the talk page. Even so we left the article as it was to avoid edit warring. Now, I hope we get somewhere and finally put this to rest. Thank you so much for your contributions. --ARoseWolf 13:48, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

@ARoseWolf: Thank you for your note. Whatever our differences about procedural matters, I know we have the best interests of the article at heart. I am pleased at what seems to be progress on the talk page, and with luck I hope we can come to a consensus soon. Gamaliel (talk) 15:28, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Happy holidays!

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Gamaliel!

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Misplaced Pages friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites \\ 18:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Your response needed

See Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection/Decrease#Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/Series/Gamergate. Do you object to unprotecting? ~Anachronist (talk) 19:24, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@Anachronist: No. Gamaliel (talk) 20:26, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Your user talk page protection

Hi,

Your user talk page has been semi-protected since 2016 by Doug Weller. Can you think of any reason why indefinite semi-protection is still necessary, if it ever was? Doug Weller could not. Politrukki (talk) 15:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

That isn't true, see my talk page. I wonder why this editor is so concerned. Doug Weller talk 15:51, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Whoa! Where is this hostility coming from? How did I reserve this? Please explain how your response to me specifically justified maintaining the status quo? I can be completely transparent: the idea for requesting unprotection stemmed from seeing the protection info in an edit dialog here and subscribing to the principles outlined in the WP:IPHUMAN essay. Politrukki (talk) 17:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
A good reason, I think, is that I do not wish to receive any further death threats on my user talk page. I only wish to edit quietly and unmolested, please respect that. Gamaliel (talk) 15:59, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Online harassment takes a long time to dissipate. Hey Gamaliel, I hope you are doing well. Drmies (talk) 16:42, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Thank you. Gamaliel (talk) 17:32, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, your name and this situation reminded me of an instance of where you pre-emptively semi-protected, in my opinion against WP:NO-PREEMPT policy, a redirect (if I recall correctly). I asked to unprotect, which you did. No drama. I don't remember if I thanked you back then, but thanks. Politrukki (talk) 17:42, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
I can understand your feelings as a human. I feel sorry for you.So you must think you would still receive threats if your user talk page is unprotected. How long do you think the protection is necessary? Five years? Ten years? Forever? If someone really, really, really would like to persistently harass you, do you think semi-protection would prevent them much? Politrukki (talk) 17:31, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Why should I make it easier for them? Why does this matter to you? Gamaliel (talk) 17:32, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
My reply Doug Weller covers this: "the idea for requesting unprotection stemmed from ... subscribing to the principles outlined in the WP:IPHUMAN essay". I would like to make editing as easy as possible to all, without causing harm to the encyclopedia or its editors. Politrukki (talk) 17:46, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
I treat IP editors with respect when they treat others with respect, and I believe in their right to edit Misplaced Pages without logging in. If they have an editing matter they wish to discuss with me, it can be done on the relevant article talk page, and I will respond there promptly and respectfully. Otherwise, I wish to be left alone by all editors, not just IP editors. Gamaliel (talk) 17:58, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
@Gamaliel I see this editor gave you a CT alert last month for BLP. Interesting. Doug Weller talk 11:30, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Feminism and Folklore Fountain tool

I was wondering, Gamaliel, whether there have been any problems with the articles I have been submitting to the Fountain tool in connection with Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/259. It has been quite some time since any of them have been processed. I have seen that other contributors have been submitting their contributions directly to this address. It's not that I'm interested in the prizes but I think it would be useful to other contributors if they were able to cover some of those I have developed. In other words, would it help if I also submitted my articles to the central F&F site or is there a direct interface between your WiR Fountain tool and the central tallying?--Ipigott (talk) 17:34, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

I apologize, I've been swamped with work and it's cut into my article writing and WIR time. The global organizers told me to set up a local fountain but if they are accepting en.wp articles at the global fountain maybe that's the best approach instead of the local fountain? Gamaliel (talk) 18:09, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
The global fountain does not seem to have been anything like as active as our own WiR. We appear to have created 80 of the 120 articles now listed centrally (which also include our own). I don't know whether they will now be assessed by the other judges or to what extent they are still relying on you. None of my articles added to the global fountain since 18 March have yet been assessed. That means that 30 of the 41 I have created appear to be awaiting assessment. But I suppose everything is under control. For your information, I am not interested in any prize money or book vouchers. I have simply been interested in improving our coverage of women in folklore and have tried to abide by the rules of the contest.--Ipigott (talk) 12:58, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
I will start assessing them on our local Fountain but I will ask for some help from WIR folks as I am swamped in real life. I'm not one of the international judges so I don't know why they aren't assessing their articles on the global Fountain. Gamaliel (talk) 14:03, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Please don't devote time to this if you have other priorities. I see that some of the fountains associated with the Indian languages already list the assessments of many competitors who have created hundreds of articles each. If you wait for a few days, those from the global English-language fountain may also have been assessed. I've also just noticed from a message on this page that the contest has now been extended until 15 April. I'm not sure how important this is to Women in Red. It certainly seem very strange to me to make an extension at this stage.--Ipigott (talk) 15:00, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Ipigott Congratulations in advance! You are no doubt the winner of this ediathon. Haoreima (talk) 16:03, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Haoreima: As the contest has now been extended until 15 April, there are now opportunities for you and other competitors to add more articles. As you are also a judge on the central fountain, you should also take into account that I am not interested in any prizes.--Ipigott (talk) 13:46, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
I'm glad to report, Gamaliel, that all my articles have now been assessed. So no more worries.--Ipigott (talk) 07:30, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

So...

As you may have seen, I'm doing a retrospective of April Fools on Misplaced Pages, and next issue will start in 2016. Which means covering the whole Trump/Wales article that caused you to get raked over the coals. I've always said that whole situation was overblown, ridiculous, and a bit of a witch hunt, and I still stand by that, but, well, I feel like I should at least talk to you before I try to write anything about it, as I'd imagine it's a bit of a sore point. Adam Cuerden Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600 FP! 09:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden: We pretty much agree on our view of the situation. It's just another illustration of how Misplaced Pages's ruling cliques are willfully ignorant and utterly impotent when it comes to coping with the weaponization of Misplaced Pages for political ends. We're in our second decade of Arbcom dealing with Eastern European ethnonationalism, for example. Gamaliel (talk) 18:10, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello Gamaliel:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1700 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Sara Weiss

Hello, Gamaliel. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Sara Weiss".

In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Misplaced Pages, and happy editing. Liz 21:33, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Magazine writer

Hi there. I just created an article on an obscure magazine writer, Mary Newmarch Prescott. It may be the first time I added the Category:American magazine writers. I noticed that there are a lot of people in the Category:Magazine writers and that this category has 4 other Misplaced Pages language versions (so, potentially, even more biographies), but there was no Wikidata item for "magazine writer", ergo, I created this: d:Q123853167. I added it to MNP's Wikidata item, but at the moment at least, I don't have the time or inclination to add it by hand to everyone else's. Wondering if there's some easy way or tool, to expedite it? (P.S. I'm not trying to throw extra work at you... Just figured you're an expert on Wikidata things so a good person to ask.) -- Rosiestep (talk) 17:34, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

There should be a way to automate this. I think I can add it to everyone in the en.wp language category, let me fool around with PetScan and see if I can get it to pull the names for me. Gamaliel (talk) 17:55, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
Cool! --Rosiestep (talk) 18:00, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
@Rosiestep: Hmmm, petscan isn't working for me right now, or I'm not working it right. It can be done, I'm positive, even if I can't manage it today. Gamaliel (talk) 18:26, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
@Rosiestep: Success! It does work, apparently PetScan was glitchy today. I added the occupation to everyone in Category:American magazine writers. When I get bored during the next week I'll work on the categories for the rest of the world. Gamaliel (talk) 20:07, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
You're awesome! Thanks! --Rosiestep (talk) 20:57, 15 December 2023 (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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages: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:

Phase I of the Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II.

LeapTorchGear (talk) 10:37, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Zitella Cocke has been accepted

Zitella Cocke, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Misplaced Pages! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Content assessment of Zoya Tajikova

Hello, @Gamaliel. I was doing content assessment of the article and saw that you had ranked it as a start. I feel like it should be a stub and want your input on it so we don't go into an edit war over it. It has limited sources and is a very small article that has little encyclopedic value at this time. What are your thoughts? Thank you, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 14:09, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

I reverted your revert on Vox for now.

Hi Gamaleil,

I read AllSides description on WP:RSP and it states that no consensus was achieved, but a high confidence rating on AllSides means it is reliable because it was reviewed by experts and thus okay to use. Vox has a high confidence rating on AllSides so therefore it should be okay to use their rating on Vox's bias. Thank you. Alexysun (talk) 10:21, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

The problem is that we set the end date for Oct 1 GMT at midnight when the end date should have been Sept 30 at midnight GMT. I think either I needed to be an administrator to change that parameter, or I was trying to change the parameter to a time in the past. Hyper- vigilance put me in a panic. I think some of the participants were going down to the wire. I took away the big blue button for sumissions and ended the contest the old-fashioned way, by declaring it over and assigning barn stars for September. Apologies for the panicked ping.

Sorry I wasn't around to help in time, but glad you were able to find a workaround. Gamaliel (talk) 18:41, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Help with authority control for DNB and NLA

Hi! So this issue with incorrect format of authority controls has happened to me more times than I can count, but today's example will suffice. I've done my research and I'm going to start an article on Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association Experiment Station. I check Wikidata to see if it already has an item; it doesn't. I check VIAF to see if it has an item and it does. I create the Wikidata item and I add all the authority controls associated with the VIAF entry. No problem with these: VIAF, LC, ISNI, BIBSYS, J9U. But when I add DNB and NLA, they show problematic marks next to the entry. Do you know the correct format for adding DNB and NLA? Thanks! -- Rosiestep (talk) 16:02, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

P.S. Historically, some editor always comes along and deletes my poorly-formed DNB/NLA entries, mostly recently MSGJ, so adding them here as they may have some tips. Thanks! --Rosiestep (talk) 16:03, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
I occasaionally patrol Category:Articles with faulty authority control information and when you add incorrect identifiers the articles turn up in that category. Normally if I can't see how to fix them, I will remove from Wikidata or mark them with deprecated rank, which gets them out of the error category — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:39, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

@Rosiestep: Two wikidata user scripts that might help. You can find them both at wikidata:Wikidata:Tools/Enhance_user_interface.

  • identifierInput - This script should format the identifier's value correctly and automatically. It works for most identifiers I've encountered. You can just cut and paste the url into wikidata and the script does the rest.
  • moreIdentifiers - This one will add a little box above all the identifiers and add some checkable boxes to allow you to add other identifiers all at once based on the VIAF.

I've relied on identifierInput so much that I'm not even sure how to format this stuff manually anymore. I tried it on Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association Experiment Station (Q131146285) and it seemed to format the DNB correctly for me. Gamaliel (talk) 17:34, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I never knew about those tools. I will give them a go — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:39, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
Thanks from me, too. I didn't know about them either! --Rosiestep (talk) 19:46, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Baker University

Can you clarify what you meant when you put the Recentism template on Baker University's article? I don't see anything that is obviously "slanted towards recent events." wizzito | say hello! 00:58, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

It talks about the founding, then has no history of the institution until late 20th century athletics. Gamaliel (talk) 07:04, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
I don't see how the late 20th century is considered "recent." I think you used the wrong template. wizzito | say hello! 08:07, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Recent compared to the entire history of the institution. Gamaliel (talk) 15:18, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
