WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest
Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.
Bala Lake v Llyn Tegid
There is a discussion going on at Talk:Bala Lake#Requested move 6 July 2018 concerning the title of the article. As an editor who has previously edited other articles about Welsh places, you may wish to contribute. Thanks Velella 22:12, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Apologies I have been away and only just checked in to see the discussion is closed. I'd suggest waiting a bit for the modern use or Tegid to gain citations, -----Snowded 07:29, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
The Signpost: 31 July 2018
- From the editor: If only if
- Discussion report: Wikipedias take action against EU copyright proposal, plus new user right proposals
- Featured content: Misplaced Pages's best content in images and prose
- Arbitration report: Status quo processes retained in two disputes
- Traffic report: Soccer, football, call it what you like – that and summer movies leave room for little else
- Technology report: New bots, new prefs
- Recent research: Different Wikipedias use different images; editing contests more successful than edit-a-thons

Great Britain page
There is some strange mischief afoot there, at least one foolish editor is clearly trying to make Northern Ireland part of Great Britain. I have corrected it again, do please keep a watch on the page so that neither of us will get into an edit war. Moonraker (talk) 02:25, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
English People
Hi! I've unprotected the page now. I did consider blocking, but it seemed to me to be at least some joint enterprise, so that blocking one would merely cause another to start up. In those circumstances, a temporary full page protection seemed best. Now that all their activities have been uncovered, I think we can proceed with firm action whenever we see any repeat of those edits from anywhere. Thanks for your suggestion, and I hope you can see my reasoning a bit even if you may still not fully accept it: it was not a clear-cut decision on either side.

August 2018
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 recently shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. 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 Misplaced Pages's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
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.
