A tag has been placed on Category:May 2024 events in China indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nominationbyvisiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 06:56, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz, please note this category was created when 2024 Meizhou expressway collapse was still an article. It is now a draft, Draft:2024 Meizhou expressway collapse. Given there has been an active category tag for events in China for the past several months, I do no think it is too wp:crystalball to say that the category should be left active, but given that its empty at this moment I understand it will likely be deleted. No response necessary. Best, -- Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 08:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note to self: Category was repopulated. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 18:39, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 19[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Boxing Hall of Fame. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 17:54, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ITN recognition for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk[edit]

On 19 May 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk, 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. Stephen 22:38, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent mpox outbreak protection requests[edit]

Hey there, I noticed you listed a bunch of protection requests on WP:RFPP for mpox outbreak articles when the vandalism was pretty much perpetrated by just one single IP vandal. In the future, if it's just one person vandalizing, you should list them at WP:AIV to get them blocked instead. Semi-protection is for when a bunch of different users are vandalizing/disrupting the same article. Some of your other requests also didn't have really any recent activity according to their histories; remember that protection is not preemptive. It would be helpful to check the page history for articles before you list them for protection. bibliomaniac15 03:31, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bibliomaniac15, this user has done this several times in the past. Just as recently as yesterday with a different IP address. If these articles are not protected the vandal will return. If you check the protection logs and the diffs on these Mpox pages you will see the revdels in the past. There is a consistent pattern. If you want to reject all the RFPPs that is your prerogative. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 03:41, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If they come back again switching IPs, feel free to let me know or resubmit the request (might even be better to list all the pages under a single section header too). But seeing that the last time this happened was a month ago, I don't think it's frequent enough to warrant protection at the moment. Generally with these kinds of administrative actions we usually use the method that will impact others users as little as possible. bibliomaniac15 03:53, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bibliomaniac15, the last time this happened was yesterday, 20 May (see: 76.98.200.125). Personally, I think not exposing users to consistent vandalising/racism on Mpox articles is the minimal impact option, but let us leave it to the fates and your administrative discretion. Thanks for blocking the vandal. Hope for the best. Cheers, --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:01, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bibliomaniac15, this is to inform you the vandal came back again (see: 76.98.202.103's edits). --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 22:21, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lord of Glencoe[edit]

Hi there - I hope this message finds you well. You left a templated message on my page for Lord of Glencoe. The page currently redirects to the village of Glencoe in Scotland... it needs to be a page for the title Lord of Glencoe in the Baronage of Scotland.... can you please help creating the page and adding to it? Thank you so much Kellycrak88 (talk) 08:33, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax request[edit]

Hello. Can you please create the template for political parties of Bouvet Island in Wikipedia infobox Travelhijabi (talk) 17:32, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I do not plan on helping you propagate your hoax. Please stop. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 17:41, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is government in exile, and you will search in YouTube Bouvet island Revolutionary Government and you will find there source, and my Bangladeshi friend founded this government in exile in 28 December 2023. Travelhijabi (talk) 12:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, this version of Wikipedia is not the place for non-notable fictional countries/governments/political parties. However, there are other websites like Fandom that are open to such topics. I would suggest moving your content there.
I really recommend you familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines if you wish to continue editing here. On that topic, I recommend responding to the sock puppet investigation on your account.
Again, I would kindly ask that you re-evaluate and improve your editing. Wishing the best for you/your friend. Sincerely, --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 14:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi Classicwiki. Your work patrolling for potential undisclosed paid editing is appreciated, but please remember to be exceptionally careful about posting personal information while doing so. – Joe (talk) 15:17, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joe Roe, absolutely. Is this in response to a NY-based charity/foundation? -- Classicwiki (talk) If you reply to me here, please ping me. 16:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. It's an understandable mistake, but the combination of job title plus company narrowed things down too far. I know you didn't do it on purpose but I'd be remiss if I didn't say something. – Joe (talk) 20:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Joe, thanks for noting. I believe I gave three users a COI warning about that page because of their possible connection. Another time, an admin said I was not posting enough info on the talk page to show COI to justify the tag. So, I was trying to be accurate, but I understand how this instance might have been unintentionally too specific. I see that you have already redacted that information, thank you for that. -- Classicwiki (talk) If you reply to me here, please ping me. 20:54, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know the context of that advice but I'd definitely always err on the side of not being specific. You can always email the information to the functionaries if in doubt. – Joe (talk) 20:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

July music[edit]

story · music · places

I remember today Bach's 1724 cantata for this Sunday which is unusual in many respects. Thank you for pointing me at Liana Isakadze to the Main page, but another woman needs attention for RD, Marina Kondratyeva. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She's on the Main page now. My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
