:@[[User:Charmanderpants|Charmanderpants]] happy to help, there are a lot of guidelines and polices and it can be very confusing. Most organizations have lots of socials and in most cases they are more promotional than encyclopedic so that's my understanding why we have just the main website where interested readers can find the social links.

'''Problems''' |
|||
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incidents/2024-06-11_WMCS_Ceph] |
|||
* Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, [[phab:T367463|report them here]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367480] |

During [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check#Reference_Check_A/B_Test|a test at 11 wikis]], the number of citations added [https://diff.wikimedia.org/?p=127553 more than doubled] when Reference Check was shown to people.

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! |

Greetings from Ungal Naan 2.0.
Sir, what is the procedure to reopening those articles (Salem Spartans, Chepauk Super Gillies, Lyca Kovai Kings, IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, Siechem Madurai Panthers, Trichy Grand Cholas, Nellai Royal Kings & Dindigul Dragons)? Ungal Naan2.0 (talk) 04:25, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that you and User:MicrobiologyMarcus and I were in a race about an hour ago. And that is why what Wikipedia calls edit conflicts are known in computer science and electrical engineering as race conditions. Some sandboxes are worth reviewing, and some are not.

Thansk for helping edit the page for David Conlon Stockport County. I am knew to this. Thank you Countystat (talk) 20:53, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I am new to this but it seemed you accepted ands then redirect the above page I was trying to do (apologies as new to this) - 'Dave Conlon'.
I now can not find the draft and wanted to have this article as a stand alone page. I wanted the link from other pagers where it had the name (Dave Conlon) to take you to that specific page.
Please can you help and advise, thanks in advance Countystat (talk) 09:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clearing up my confusion with linking social media on the Black Peoples Union draft, sorry for reverting that! Charmanderpants (talk) 00:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
