On25 August 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article July 2023 Western Kentucky floods, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during the 2023 Western Kentucky floods, 11.28 inches (287 mm) of rain fell in Graves County, which set a new preliminary rainfall record for the state? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/July 2023 Western Kentucky floods. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, July 2023 Western Kentucky floods), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.
You put the michigan tornado that gotten the pds tagged as a possible tornado, in fact it wasn't a possible tornado and a graph by sam emmerson put the tornado as possible ef4 intensity but i highly doubt doing ef4 damage but it lifted debris over 15k feet.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 2013 Midwestern U.S. floods you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Sammi Brie -- Sammi Brie (talk) 03:01, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
The article 2013 Midwestern U.S. floods you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:2013 Midwestern U.S. floods and Talk:2013 Midwestern U.S. floods/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Sammi Brie -- Sammi Brie (talk) 03:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
The article 2013 Midwestern U.S. floods you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:2013 Midwestern U.S. floods for comments about the article, and Talk:2013 Midwestern U.S. floods/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", 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 at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Thank you for improving articles in August! - Today, my focus is on Renata Scotto, after days of updating. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:03, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
On 29 August 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Alexandra Paul (figure skater), which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. PFHLai (talk) 05:01, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello Tails Wx, I stumbled across your user page and noticed that you had the userbox Template:User likes Tails Wx, which uses the image File:Tails Drawing.png. Unfortunately, the video game character Tails is non-free content, which is not allowed on the Wikimedia Commons, as well as on the English Wikipedia outside of strict rules. Even an unofficial drawing of the character isn't allowed because it is considered a "derivative work" of the non-free content. Because of this, I've nominated the image for speedy deletion per commons:COM:F3. I just wanted to give you a heads up—you may wish to choose a different image for that userbox. All the best, Mz7 (talk) 06:55, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already! |
#prodraxis connect 15:11, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, y'all, for the kind words and support. I'll think about it in the next few months. Tails Wx 22:51, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi I just thought will let you know as you like sonic too. I actually renamed myself based off the character Shadow from sonic. Shadow345110 (talk) 23:17, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

[s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.
local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to
note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.
Hi! Just as a general question: when you're using copypatrol, are you waiting until the revdel is completed to mark the page as fixed? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 17:30, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi thank you for accepting my draft I guess Shadow and Tails can get along. Shadow345110 (talk) 20:28, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
@Tails Wx Hey tails I know this has nothing to do with Wikipedia but are you looking forward to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 when it comes out in December 2024. (well for you I have to wait longer as I live in the U.K.) I am looking forward to it especially as it is all about me. Prepare yourself. HAHAHAHA. erm… I mean I'm excited.

Hello! Hope you are having a wonderful day! I would like to contest the speedy deletion of the page (Draft: Biren Zaverchand) because I feel that it was wrongfully deleted. I am more than happy to change/alter any parts that you feel aren't right or constitute "self-promotion". Please help!! --Helperaz2 (talk) 23:09, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi Tails. I made an account because it looked like my IP address was in a blocked range, so I was unable to fix a typo on an article I've successfully edited before. If you're familiar with how IP addresses and user-blocking works (I'm not, so I'm sorry if this question seems to be common sense), do you know if making an account will prevent me, for the foreseeable future at least, from IP-address-range blocks? --Meimpink (talk) 00:46, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
Have you considered applying for autopatrol to help reduce the backlog? Zippybonzo (alt) (talk) 08:06, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi! I was snooping around the statistics pages for Hurricane Idalia and I noticed how much work you had put into the article. I just felt like thanking you because, as a Floridian, I feel especially drawn to hurricanes and their respective articles which impact my home state, and you did incredible work in regards to our latest storm.
I felt especially concerned about Idalia because of its impact on a rural and poorer region of my state. I know if Idalia had impacted a more highly populated area of the state it would have been given much more love, though to be fair, there has been an incredible amount of love from you and other Wikipedians given to the article despite that.
So, thank you very much! Have a great day/night! ~~ RaskBunzzz (talk) 07:02, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to the September 2023 newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since June. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. David Thomsen: Prolific Wikipedian and Guild member David Thomsen (Dthomsen8) died in November 2022. He was a regular copy editor who took part in many of our Drives and Blitzes. An obituary was published in the mid-July issue of The Signpost. Tributes can be left on David's talk page. Election news: In our mid-year Election of Coordinators, Dhtwiki was chosen as lead coordinator, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo continue as assistant coordinators, and Baffle gab1978 stepped down from the role. If you're interested in helping out at the GOCE, please consider nominating yourself for our next election in December; it's your WikiProject and it doesn't organize itself!

July Drive: 34 of the 51 editors who took part in our July Backlog Elimination Drive copy-edited at least one article. They edited 276 articles and 683,633 words between them. Barnstars awarded are here. August Blitz: In our August Copy Editing Blitz, 13 of the 16 editors who signed up worked on at least one article. Between them, they copy-edited 79,608 words comprising 57 articles. Barnstars awarded are available here. September Drive: Sign up here for our month-long September Backlog Elimination Drive, which is now underway. Barnstars awarded will be posted here. Progress report: As of 14:29, 9 September 2023 (UTC), GOCE copy editors have processed 245 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stands at 2,066. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo.
