There are no recent confirmed sockpuppets at this article. This is just a lame pretext, Fakirbakir wants the article semiprotected to be able to impose his version without resistance from anonymous editors. 176.61.232.104 ( talk) 12:54, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I put an "in use" template on this prep set as I am almost finished building it. Could you move Logan Beirne to Prep 3? Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 23:09, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi. If you clear a DYK prep area (or queue), please make sure you use
Template:Did you know/Clear to do so. You have
reverted key changes to the DYK prep areas, that would evenlually leak through to the main page. If you copied it from somewhere else, please copy the contents of /Clear to that location as well, so the old code is eliminated. Thank you. -- [[

Thank you for uploading File:Joel Nkaya Bendera.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stefan2 ( talk) 22:37, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi,I am sitting in an almost empty Waitrose Café, Canary Wharf, on a Wednesday evening. I wandered around looking for a suitable place for a meet up: Unfortunately the Starbucks outside the library shuts at 7:00 pm. I think this place would be fine - almost empty, reasonable price with free coffee if you buy something (i.e. a cake?). After all the talk on WMUK list I thought it would be better to do something. What I would suggest is perhaps an East London meetup on the last Wednesday of the month, starting wed 24 June. What do you think? Leutha ( talk) 19:43, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

I saw your comments here. It is astonishing to me that ArbCom is going to pass a motion to sweep this whole damn thing under the rug. Through their inaction, they are giving their official blessing to grossly insulting behavior on this project. There isn't a person alive who doesn't have a temper tantrum once in a while. But this guy went far, far beyond that. He maintained a disgusting level of hatred for at least a week and a half. I've long maintained that our WP:CIVIL policy is void. I think it's a given at this point, and ArbCom has just proved that. Further, I think ArbCom at this point has proven they are incapable of dealing with problems like this. They have just justified the opinions of all those who say admins are a special class of editor. They have ensconced depraved indifference for the civility policy in stone. I am, to say the least, disgusted. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 15:06, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

With reference to the last edit on the Manhattan Life Insurance Company page, your reasoning for the undo being Unless they donated a policy covering coolies to the museum, they donated the profit from the venture is not accurate. The company donated the paperwork (i.e. policy documents) to the museum for historical record. No profit or cash valued contract was ever transferred making that statement and entire paragraph irrelevant. Based on the referenced articles and historical facts, The Manhattan Life Insurance Company was not sued for and was not asked to pay reparations ever that your statement insinuates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.124.222.18 ( talk) 20:22, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

About Homo naledi, I think something should be mentioned about Nature not publishing. Right now I am not opposed to leaving out the word twelve. But I think the fanclub of a notable paleontoligist, or expedition members on wikipedia, or facebook support group of the fanclub or expedition members - might be unwilling to make any concessions. -- Here to sway ( talk) 14:40, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Panyd,
even though The muffin is not subtle,
will you or someone consider asking the other parties in the RfC if a no-fault freeze of the RfC is acceptable?
I suggest, that I will not contest - without improved references (which I have yet to see) - that there is significant opposition against saying in the article that some (or twelve) articles were rejected by Nature (or rejected by a journal).
In part I now see that there has been edit warring going on in other places of the article; perhaps I would like to see that some of those situations finds some sort of equilibrium first. Another point is that I am convinced that there will be a research article in Nature about the find, within 365 days from now. Even if things might turn out so that Berger and/or expedition members are not the first ones to have research articles about the find accepted by Nature, I suspect that the team's openness about their excavations will be instrumental for others to get research article(s) about the find accepted by Nature. I speculate that the find will turn out to be, at least in part, at least one existing species.
I think there is a good chance that the rejection issue might become less significant within months. "Good" peer reviews and/or "bad" peer reviews might contribute to that. Thank you. --

![]() | On 25 December 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Plygain, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in Wales, there is one Christmas carol that is traditionally sung only by men? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Plygain. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).
After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.
In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.
With thanks,

Last December, I invited you to share your views on the value of Wikimedia conferences and the planning process of Wikimania. We have completed analysis of these results and have prepared this report summarizing your feedback and important changes for Wikimania starting in 2018 as an experiment.

Thanks for uploading File:Volume, Contrast, Brilliance....jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 04:25, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I don't know if I'm on the right talk page but since you're the one who put a protection on Lip Sync Battle Philippines, I'll seek your help. Someone with the username User:Oripaypaykim keeps on deleting episodes on some of the pages. S/he deleted the list of episodes from the Lip Sync Battle Philippines page saying that the reason is that it is a Wikipedia:Listcruft which I find entirely not related to the page because Lip Sync Battle also have their own list of episodes.
Another one is that s/he deleted the notable episodes listed on Magpakailanman without any reason. I don't know if that removal he did is considered vandalism but I hope he stops deleting an entire list made by other editors. I just restored both in their previous versions but I'm a bit worried that I may be reverting too much. MBdemigod ( talk) 07:16, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Maiduguri mosque aftermath.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 01:06, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jānis Ādamsons, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Latvian. 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 Panyd,
After our discussion this week, I'd like your opinion on whether I'd be able to serve the project well if I were to spend a few hours a week admin-gnoming, and whether you think I'd be able to pass an RfA, based on my conduct and contributions.
Thanks -- Slashme ( talk) 21:30, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
Thank you both! As it happens, the feedback that I got there was that my performance at AfD isn't really strong enough, both in terms of stats and quality of comments, that my content creation track record isn't that great, and that my level of activity is not really high enough, so if I'm serious about becoming an admin, I should probably take a year where I demonstrate better skills. -- Slashme ( talk) 11:27, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Dill cropped.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 07:49, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
