If I leave a message for you, please respond on your talk page, as I am watching it, at least in the short term.
If you leave a message for me, I will most likely respond here. Either add this page to your watchlist or ask me to notify you of a response on your talk page.
Note: I have the right to decline to withdraw from, any situation that is escalating or uncomfortable without giving a reason or justifying myself, and to take further action through permissible means. (See this policy.) Do not construe this as agreement with whatever position you have espoused, whatever snide remarks you have made, or whatever abuse you are heaping upon me. My withdrawal is nothing more nor less than a statement that I have better things to do and an attempt on my part to follow the age-old aphorism that one should never argue with a fool.
If I mistakenly called your edits vandalism when I reverted them, it may have been because you did not leave an edit summary. Please realize that, in many cases, unexplained edits are indistinguishable from vandalism! Or maybe I just wasn't paying proper attention and goofed up. This applies as well to rollbacks.
If you're here to troll, harass, or vandalize, I might not be able to stop you, but you will be reverted.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your response and your advice. I'm still a bit confused with what you'd recommend in terms of "significant amount of coverage." I'm quite sure this company has what you're describing, so I want to make sure we fully understand exactly what you'd recommend! Thanks so much again, and please stay well.
I'd love your advice -- it looks like you declined the draft I submitted (in the subject line), and I'd love to understand why that is. I was sure to include several articles written about the subject (Business Insider, Inside Higher Ed, Williams College Record, etc.), as well as substantiating every claim about the subject with verifiable sources (ex: NBC News, Axios, PBS, etc.).
There are multiple problems with this page as this is too soon we are yet to be there at notability where we can say this company is company is notable enough to have an article here. We need significant amount of coverage and contribution to the field. Which is lacking at the momement. Future plans are useless in this regard.

Hi,
You left me a message about the page I'm trying to get Wikipedia to publish. I hope this is the proper way to respond. I'm not super-Wikipedia-skilled.
I didn't really create the page because it has something to do with being Queer. I'm an advocate for genital autonomy and believe that if people better understood how genitalia is basically the same regardless of sex, they may better see the hypocrisy of advocating for genital autonomy for only people on one end of the sexual spectrum.
I would certainly appreciate any suggestions you have to get it published.
Thanks!
John Adkison
Definitely, I would love to and I should actually contribute to the article too. Let me see what I can do. I am still failing to understand the hypocrisy part of your statement but hopefully I will understand that in meantime QueerEcofeminist[they/them/their] 05:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Re: Draft of Bhagwan Das Varma
Thank you for taking the time to review the Bhagwan Das Varma draft. As per your suggestions, 8 cites to books and 2 cites to scholarly articles have been added. All of these additions were very helpful in improving the article. The revised article with these additions has been submitted.

Hello. I have inserted the images of Akashanand Deshpande on his website but they are deleted. Why has it happened? Can you please put them back — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaditid (talk • contribs) 12:18, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I requested deletion of those images as they were copyvio. Upload only photos which you have taken or you are ready to talk to copyright owners for relicencing of those photos. thanks QueerEcofeminist[they/them/their] 13:00, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I declined the draft article Draft:Black Note Graffiti. The new name of the draft's creator is shown in the edit history, but for some reason the AfC-submit-wizard posted the talk page message at the old username's talk page. Did a step get missed in the change of username, or is that more likely to be a problem with AfC-submit-wizard? Thanks, Storchy (talk) 06:16, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Storchy, I guess the rename happened when you rejected the draft. The same time for both the events could be the only answer to your question. Otherwise there is no reason to why your rejection warning could go to their earlier usertalkpage. QueerEcofeminist[they/them/their] 11:41, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Here is a barnstar to show appreciation for the NPP reviews you did back in 2019. We realize this is late, but NPP fell behind in some coordination activities. We are almost caught up. If you don't want to receive "old" barnstars, please just ignore this and reply to let us know not to send you any more. Also, we notice you haven't been very active here recently, and hope you will consider increasing your participation. The backlog is relatively high and we could really use your help. Regardless, thanks again for your past effort. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:13, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello,
I appreciate your looking at the page Draft:1819 News. I attempted to put around the same amount of information that I saw on the published page Yellowhammer News. Is that a good template to go off of our should I look to put more information. I'm trying to balance what is necessary versus what would appear to be "promotional material." Thanks so much!
I am trying to submit a very basic article about a film production company. For some reason it keeps bouncing back stating it has are no reliable sources/references. I looked at similar companies that do have published Wikipedia articles and I honestly don't see a lot of difference. What am I doing wrong?
I have a question for you as a global renamer. Occasionally, I'm looking at the Move log and I see you have moved pages for an editor you have renamed and I can see that the editor is blocked on English Wikipedia. But tonight, over the past few hours, I saw two blocked editors who were given renames! What is the policy for this? I'm not sure how global renaming works but I wouldn't think that a blocked editor would be able to request a rename. It can be confusing for admins like myself who might be keeping tabs on recently blocked editors. I'm hoping you can clarify things to me. Many thanks! LizRead!Talk!07:16, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Blocked for just username violation can be renamed but if users are blocked for more than username violation shouldn't be renamed. I am not sure which renames you are talking about. But if you provide me the links I will check with it. Users blocked for socking, promotional edit or anything else shouldn't be renamed. QueerEcofeminist🌈11:13, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Liz, additionally they are blocked locally but accounts are global and rename happens on metawiki. So though they are blocked locally they can request rename and it will be processed by renamers or stewards if it is a just username policy violation. In the case of possible coi users we do assume good faith and rename them. But those who have already done promotional edits or done bad edits, page creations should not be renamed. And we do not rename them. QueerEcofeminist🌈11:24, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Both of those comments make sense. I didn't consider the fact that they could be blocked on this project but not elsewhere. I'll dig a bit deeper and try to find those two renames I came across last night. Thank you for your patient explanations! LizRead!Talk!18:05, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Anytime, you can drop a message and ask for whatever you feel confusing. Obviously there is a global rename policy but it almost alignes with the acc account creation guidelines. You may go through it for further information. But yes I have been there when I first saw blocked user getting renamed. I have happy that I could be of some help to others. Thanks QueerEcofeminist🌈09:09, 5 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello. My name is ZX2006XZ. So the trailer for Pixar's Elemental came out yesterday, alongside a new teaser poster.
Sorry please read the instructions posted on the draft. First it's a future film and second there are too many self published sources. Such multiple accounts pleading for the review is sign of promotional attempts. So please refrain from it. QueerEcofeminist🌈05:07, 20 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
I am surprised. Just being from a queer community does not mean one needs to support inhuman agenda of Muslims against Hindus. Remember!!

New year, new scripts. Welcome to the 23rd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering around 39% of our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. That’s right, we haven’t published in two years! Can you believe it? Did you miss us?
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin is a rewrite of Ais's Watchlist Notifier with modern APIs and several new features such as not displaying watchlist items marked as seen (hence the name), not bolding diffs of unseen watchlist elements which doesn’t work properly anyways, displaying the rendered edit summary, proper display of log and creation actions and more links.
Alexis Jazz: Factotum is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
User:Aveaoz/AutoMobileRedirect: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Wikipedia. Unlike existing scripts, this one will actually check if your browser is mobile or not through its secret agent string, so you can stay logged in on mobile! Hooray screen estate!
Deputy is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
User:Elominius/gadget/diff arrow keys allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding Ctrl with the arrow key.
Frequently link to Wikipedia on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! User:Luke10.27/attribute will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard.
User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to Evad37's script, with a few bugs solved, and a host of extra features like check-boxes for choosing draftification reasons, multi-contributor notification, and appropriate warnings based on last edit time.
/CopyCodeBlock: one of the most important operations for any scripter and script-user is to copy and paste. This script adds a copy button in the top right of every code block (not to be confused with <code>) that will, well, copy it to your clipboard!
m:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AceForLuaDebugConsole.js adds the Ace editor (a.k.a. the editor you see when editing JS, CSS and Lua on Wikimedia wikis) to the Lua debug console. "In my opinion, whoever designed it to be a plain <textarea> needs to seriously reconsider their decision."
GANReviewTool quickly and easily closes good article nominations.
ReviewStatus displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed.
SpeciesHelper tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles.
User:Opencooper/svgReplace and Tol's fork replaces all rasterized SVGs with their original SVG codes for your loading pleasures. Tell us which one is better!
ArticleInfo displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title.
/HeaderIcons takes away the Vector 2022 user dropdown and replaces it with all of the icons within, top level, right next to the Watchlist. One less click away! There's also an alternate version that uses text links instead of icons.
There is a substantial backlog of unsourced articles on Wikipedia, and we need your help! The purpose of this drive is to add sources to these unsourced articles and make a meaningful impact.
Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles cited.
Remember to tag your edit summary with [[WP:FEB24]], both to advertise the event and tally the points later using Edit Summary Search.
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.
Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
Without caching. Each script takes 400–500ms. A particularly large script takes 1.11 s! Internet download speed is 50 Mbps.With caching enabled. Each script takes just 1-2 ms to load.
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!
Doǵu/Adiutor(pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
/afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
/ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
/redirect-helper(pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
/rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
Guycn2/UserInfoPopup(pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
Sophivorus's MiniEdit adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.
Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.
Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
Jonesey/common(pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
/AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
/Selective Rollback(pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
/flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
/randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{fix}} templates.
Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!
Hello, QueerEcofeminist. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Pimpri Chinchwad Pride Walk, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
After the ＲＩＩＪ update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!
Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!
