Hi Potatoboy23,
The Design Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation is currently seeking relatively newcomer Wikipedians for user studies about their experience with current editing tools and to test out some prototype editing tools. If you’re interested in helping to shape the future of editing on Wikipedia, we would love to have you participate! The study session will take approximately 30 minutes, maximum of 45 minutes.
The study will take place in the next couple weeks, and will require participants to have access to a webcam and microphone (or a laptop with built in cam & mic), with a quiet place to go for a research session. To participate, please email dchen[at]wikimedia.org and include the following information:
Please let me know if you have any questions! Look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Daisy Chen

Hi. Sorry about constantly editing before. I didn't know you could discuss the edits. Could I perhaps change the 'seventeenth season' to 'the XY series' or 'Pokémon the series: XY?' Just because, people who don't watch english dubbed Pokémon might not know the numerous individual seasons of the english broadcast, as they are grouped by series in most other countries. Punpunmon ( talk) 23:32, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Punpunmon, despite your intentions with this, this is the English version of Wikipedia. As such, we edit information to benefit English speaking users. As such, the seasons are appropriate for this language of Wikipedia.
Empoleonmaster23 ( talk) 00:38, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
So I'm guessing no one who watches the english dub would know what I'm referring to if I called it XY series? I didn't know that. Punpunmon ( talk) 03:38, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
Punpunmon, that is not what I said. I was stating that since this was the English version of Wikipedia, the seasons would be appropriate, as that is how the English version are ordered. Anyway, if you are to change it, please make sure you will state your reasoning.
In English, they also call the XY series as a whole Pokémon the series: XY, which would be a more general overview of all the english seasons in this series, and I fail to understand why this would not be appropriate. Punpunmon ( talk) 04:05, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
Punpunmon, I am not saying that your propasal is not appropriate, I saying that listing the season would be more appropriate as that is the Offical order in English. Also, the are still two series that Ash is attired like this, XY and XY&Z. (Yes that is a seperate series)
Anyway, you can discuss this on the page's talk page as well as with me. Empoleonmaster23 ( talk) 11:34, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
Empoleonmaster23, the series names might be even more appropriate, even in English, as it is also the official order, and it would be easier for the majority of people to understand 'XY series' or, as you say 'XY&Z series,' as, for example, even younger children who watch the show in English on TV who might not know about the show's individual seasons, will be able to identify 'XY' or 'XY&Z' better than 'seventeenth season' or such, which is why I thought this might be more appropriate for many prople to identify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Punpunmon ( talk • contribs) 17:54, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
Punpunmon, as I've said on the talk page, we should attempt to change the picture to his SM appearance. This will simplify things greatly.

Hello Empoleonmaster23,
Upon review of Pokémon Black and White's article, I have noticed that there is an ongoing disagreement between yourself and the IP address user 174.102.90.8. This disagreement is:
Previously, Pokémon Black and White's Plot > Story, paragraph, two, lines 1 and 2 reflected: In addition to the standard gameplay, the player will also have to defeat the games' main antagonist force, Team Plasma, a Knights Templar-esque group who claim that Pokémon are oppressed by humanity and seek to "liberate" them from their trainers.
On 8th of April 2017, at 22:04, 174.102.90.8 edited Pokémon Black and White's Plot > Story, paragraph two, lines 1 and 2, to reflect: In addition to the standard gameplay, the player will also have to defeat the games' main antagonist force, Team Plasma, a Knights Templar-esque group who claim that Pokémon are enslaved by humanity and seek to "liberate" them from their trainers.
On 9th of April 2017 at 08:45, Empoleonmaster23 edited Pokémon Black and White's Plot > Story, paragraph two, lines 1 and 2, to reflect: In addition to the standard gameplay, the player will also have to defeat the games' main antagonist force, Team Plasma, a Knights Templar-esque group who claim that Pokémon are oppressed by humanity and seek to "liberate" them from their trainers.
On 10th of April 2017 at 01:26, 174.102.90.8 edited Pokémon Black and White's Plot > Story, paragraph two, lines 1 and 2, to reflect: In addition to the standard gameplay, the player will also have to defeat the games' main antagonist force, Team Plasma, a Knights Templar-esque group who claim that Pokémon are enslaved by humanity and seek to liberate them.
In this dispute, you are at the advantage because;
Although, the bottom line is, whoever possesses the facts should win a dispute. In this case, the winner of the dispute is whoever answers the following question correctly; Does Team Plasma believe Pokémon are enslaved or oppressed? The answer, in my opinion, is the latter. As a Nintendo taskforce member, I side with you if you take this to a level of edit challenge.
(Naturally, registered users usually win disputed over non-registered users like 174.102.90.8.
This kind of thing is very important because the Nintendo taskforce takes GA and FA articles very seriously.
I will be posting a note on his talk page as well.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hold Everything!, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John McGowan. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2020 AFL season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ben King.

; see
Talk:Australian rules football for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can
nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. As a side note, the bot that manages GA nominations is down, so the nom is still listed at
WP:GAN as being on hold for the time being; hopefully that will be fixed soon.

Congrats on passing the Port Adelaide article, that must have taken a mammoth amount of editing! The level of persistence from you is quite amazing, considering you have been working on that article since November. Doggo375 ( talk) 00:28, 28 June 2021 (UTC) |
Hi Empoleonmaster23, great work getting good article status for the Port Adelaide Football Club article. I acknowledge I have been combative at times but in the end it was in the interest for the accuracy on the article. Keep up the good work.

Hi @ Empole1:
You reverted an edit that I made on St Kilda Football Club in which I had archived the urls of cited webpages. In your edit summary, you wrote "his seems very overly excessive, considering all the links are live... I went though them all myself to make sure of it, and to improve them a couple of days ago. Seems like unnecessary archiving."
As you may know, web-based resources are liable to change or disappear without notice. Pro-active archiving is an important part of citing sources on Wikipedia, because it ensures that a permanent record of the website (dating from the approximate time of its citation) is kept. Clearly a website cannot be archived after it has been removed from the internet.
Please read the policy here on pro-active archiving: Wikipedia:Citing sources/Further considerations#Pre-emptive archiving. Since my edit was in line with this policy, I will revert your change.

Greetings. In response to your edit summary changes to my recent edits on the St Kilda FC article, as per MOS:JOBTITLES all positions such as vice-president and chief executive officer are not capitalised in Wikipedia articles unless they are being used as a title before someone's name, which they are not in the St Kilda article. Nor should they be in standard Australian English use. There is nothing about the "context" in the article that justifies them being capitalised. Also, "an" is incorrect before "one" even though it starts with a vowel. The principle about using "an" before words beginning with vowels is not a rigid one and it all depends on whether the word actually sounds like it begins with a vowel which "one" does not. "One" sounds like it begins with a consonant (exactly like "won" does) so it is preceded by "a" instead of "an". No writer, I very much hope, would ever write that something was "an one-time opportunity" (instead of "a one-time opportunity") as this sounds both wrong and ridiculous because it is wrong and ridiculous. Same thing with "an" before 108. As a professional writer I do know a fair bit about stylistic matters, so I hope you will respect my changes as they are correct ones. Best wishes, Afterwriting ( talk) 20:28, 28 January 2022 (UTC) @ Afterwriting: Hey there! After reading through explanation regarding the edits, I understand where you're coming from. I do agree with you on the second point now, after you've explained it - I rewrote because it sounded wrong when I was speaking the phrase out loud, because I was interpreting it internally as "an a hundred and eight" (which is also technically correct but is probably poor form, so your option is more appropriate). I mistook this as the o in one rather than the a. Silly mistake in that regard, I'll cop that.
In regards to the first point though - I was under the impression that job titles should be capitalised under this context not for that reason (although that could be argued), but rather the third dot point under JOBTITLES - The formal titles are being addressed independently, are not in plural form, evidently lack modifiers as independent words and isn't in modified form. Although the examples are in sentence case, there doesn't seem to be an indicator that is a prerequisite. By my interpretation, each role in the section should be captilised. If I'm wrong, by all means explain to me how because I'm willing to learn.
Either way, thanks for the polite response. I appreciate it! Empole1 ( talk) 04:35, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
