new comments at the bottom of the page please
Thanks for editing: please see my comment on the talk page. You added to an existing section, but fundamentally this is very odd because "Phase 1b" is on a different canal, the Stroudwater. So I think this is odd. Incidentally, I could not find any confirmation that the bid has actually been made on the Cotswold Canals trust site; are you sure the reference you gave is accurate? Can you share anything online? (Please reply here) Imaginatorium (talk) 08:56, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Am I correct in thinking that you took the photo at File:We177 science museum.jpg at the Science Museum, London (and not some other science museum)? And if so, that means its safe for me to list that museum as another home for a surviving example at WE.177#Retirement, right (it wasn't some special travelling exhibit that you saw)? -- Finlay McWalterᚠTalk 00:22, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Geni,
I must say your photographs are amazing! I have been experimenting myself with light painting and am just wondering if I may use this photograph in the background of my photograph. Of course I will credit you by posting a link in the description of your page.

Hi Geni, I counted the transclusions of {{Infobox US university ranking}}, and it appears it has less than 390 transclusions, which does not make this highly visible in my opinion.

Hi Geni
As I am now doing volunteer work restoring the Wey and Arun Canal, I feel it is my duty to get its article up-to-date.
I have updated the map (several times) and made some other changes, with more to come when time permits (as the article is badly lagging the restoration progress).
Anyway...
You uploaded a photo of a lock on the canal, but it does not identify which one. Can you try to work out where you took the photo, please? (I know it was 10 years ago!)

Hello, Geni. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Biber find in The Netherlands.
Dear Geni,
With regards to the biber attack on the bridge at Nijmegen i think i can provide you with additional information. As it happens the remains one of the subs used in that attack are now on display in the Fort of Pannerden. A fort located very close to the location of the find. I work there as a volunteer and as such I think I could lend you a hand getting some information.

Why did you mass-protect every template used on "the Hillary page"? Jackmcbarn (talk) 21:27, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like you have added extended confirmed protectiontoTemplate:Obama cabinet and Template:US First Ladies, though those pages have not been vandalized recently. Note that the announcement above from September 23rd states that "Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort." Additionally, Hillary Clinton itself is semi-protected, so preemptively protecting subcomponents with a higher level of protection is odd.
I assume this was a mistake, perhaps a misclick. Would you mind changing the protection level of these templates to semiprotected? Mamyles (talk) 14:26, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Geni, thanks for taking the time to review my post. I'm just wondering, which pieces of information are lacking reliable citation? I have attempted to provide as much citation as possible but I will continue to edit the page until I've met your requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:5CA0:D4C:C030:63D8:48CE:6912 (talk) 10:18, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Given the context of the post, referring to YouTube videos and GoFundMe pages, those actually do provide proof that what the Wikipedia entry is claiming is 100% true. For example, when I say that a YouTube video was created on a certain date by a certain creator and refer to that video as proof, it is credible evidence that what I'm claiming is true (same with the GoFundMe page).I have edited several of the sources to be more reliable, and I believe it's a matter of opinion that Heat Street is not reliable. In this case I believe the opinion is wrong, because Heat Street provides links and videos that serve as proof to the claims made in the Wikipedia entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:5CA0:D4C:C030:63D8:48CE:6912 (talk) 10:26, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Upon some searching, both Heat Street and h3h3Productions' videos have been used as citation on other Wikipedia articles about this incident. Once the internet grabs a hold of this story, I will be able to replace the youtube links and twitter posts with articles about them. Once again, simply saying Heat Street is not reliable doesn't make that true; the articles I've cited from Heat Street are indeed reliable sources on this topic/incident. This happened only hours ago, so primary sources are really the only source at the moment. I didn't realize Wikipedia was against primary sources of information, which seems odd to me considering the citation leads readers directly to the source and provides ample evidence that what the Wikipedia entry is saying is indeed true.

Hi Geni.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Geni. You changed Breitbart and another source to the FT which is subscription only. I replaced it, not in disputation but so that the story could be understood by those who can't access the FT site. The story looks to be uncontroversial and reported in a straight forward way. Clearly you don't like Breitbart (though I confess I can't see any problems with this article), would you perhaps expand the wiki page then so that it can be understood without needing to read the FT site? At the moment it reads like a bit of trivia. I'd have raised this on the article's talk page, but I wouldn't want to publicly criticise and admin or an editor of your standing.

Your recent editing history at Jamie Waylett shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --KirkVHouten (talk) 13:51, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Facto Post – Issue 10 – 12 March 2018
Milestone for mix'n'matchAround the time in February when Wikidata clicked past item Q50000000, another milestone was reached: the mix'n'match tool uploaded its 1000th dataset. Concisely defined by its author, Magnus Manske, it works "to match entries in external catalogs to Wikidata". The total number of entries is now well into eight figures, and more are constantly being added: a couple of new catalogs each day is normal. Since the end of 2013, mix'n'match has gradually come to play a significant part in adding statements to Wikidata. Particularly in areas with the flavour of digital humanities, but datasets can of course be about practically anything. There is a catalog on skyscrapers, and two on spiders. These days mix'n'match can be used in numerous modes, from the relaxed gamified click through a catalog looking for matches, with prompts, to the fantastically useful and often demanding search across all catalogs. I'll type that again: you can search 1000+ datasets from the simple box at the top right. The drop-down menu top left offers "creation candidates", Magnus's personal favourite. m:Mix'n'match/Manual for more. For the Wikidatan, a key point is that these matches, however carried out, add statements to Wikidata if, and naturally only if, there is a Wikidata property associated with the catalog. For everyone, however, the hands-on experience of deciding of what is a good match is an education, in a scholarly area, biographical catalogs being particularly fraught. Underpinning recent rapid progress is an open infrastructure for scraping and uploading. Congratulations to Magnus, our data Stakhanovite! Links![]()

There are now two products with the same title (new is at World War Z (Sabre Interactive video game), and the later product appears it will have similar or greater impact than the original.

I understand that we can include text (C&P) from sites with a UK Open Government license. Can you look at [[3]], it links to to four pdfs with architecture's plans that I would like to use. Are these covered by the tag on parent page? Is the a standard way to display the attribution? --ClemRutter (talk) 09:56, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:20, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for unblocking me, Geni, I appreciate it. I hope you will address the concerns of the other editors below, because I don’t want that any harm to you (or anyone else) he caused from this matter. You have my assurance that I have (and had) no intentions of harassing anyone. starship.paint (talk) 01:03, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've asked you on IRC, but I'll make it official: please resign. You violated policy by unblocking both against the consensus of administrators and without talking to the blocking admin, who objected, and was engaged in an unblock discussion. You also made it easier for people to harass others. This isn't good, and only makes our project worse. You basically told someone to find a new way to harass other people. That's not okay, and I'm honestly shocked that any administrator here would do so. I won't push it further, but I do want to make the request on-wiki. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:44, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#User:TonyBallioni's block of User:Starship.paint and User:Geni's unblock and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.
Thanks,— Preceding unsigned comment added by Govindaharihari (talk • contribs) 04:54, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your explanation of the unblock. I am responding here because other discussion has been held here and so keeping it in place with the rest seems useful. Your message is certainly thoughtful and reasonable. It is one I still must disagree with and will register that here but please feel no need to further respond if you don't care to.
You message frames it as one (banned) editor against one sysop. This is not what the history shows in my reading as it was not one sysop who felt something. It was multiple. There were, in fact, multiple offers of people who offered language that starship could give to remove the block, though admittedly one of those who made the offer lost their ability to follow through due to resignation. I also continue to find your thinking that action is necessary over communication and consensus to be one that makes me feel less. That someone could track down other accounts of mine and make demands of me is of concern to me as someone who does not edit under their name. My guess is that you are correct that starship will not repeat this, but that does not make the original issue not an issue. I have more to say but have already prattled on long enough so I will just conclude with an additional thank you for the response. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:30, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occurred, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribetothe weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hello! I raised this issue at ANI but it has gotten a slow response, so I thought that maybe you could help. User:GigachadGigachad is making a pretty rapid slew of destructive edits and I'm hoping that someone can step in soon. A few people have responded but only one is an admin, and even she hasn't decided on a path forward. Thanks in advance for your help. Cpotisch (talk) 03:49, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your edit to All Saints Church, Fleet. It's very helpful to have an update. You don't happen to have any photos of the church post-restoration? It would be good to include one if you do. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 05:43, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I see you changed at least one of the lead images of a Foden wagon on the Steam Wagon page. Editorially I wonder if a photo of a wagon on solid tyres might be a better choice? Given that pneumatic tyres only really appeared around 1940, so for the last 5 years of the “prime” steam wagon era (say - 1905-1935), then it seems like we are unbalancing photos relative to the history.
In an ideal world, I suppose the best range of pictures might be an early Foden on solids and a late six wheeled wagon on pneumatics, ideally with both on the road (from personal experience I know steam wagons are like a fish out of water on a grass field!)?

Hello, I see you didn't like our IUPAC definition box in the Absorption article, and removed it in this edit back in September. I quite understand that, because article changes made its placement ugly, and it looked much nicer when originally placed. We're currently debating the best format for these, and I'd like to get your ideas on how best to present these, while taking into consideration:
I wanted to ask how you think these definitions should be done, given the above constraints? We have a range of options in my Sandbox page, so by all means let me know which format you like (plus any you don't like!). Our preferred format currently is Image with caption link. If you have any alternative formats, by all means add them into my talk page so we can take a look.
Many thanks, Walkerma (talk) 18:53, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Geni. You briefly discussed the use of audio waveform images back in 2008 (Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions/Archive/2008/September#Screenshots_of_copyrighted_Audio_files). This topic has recently come up at Talk:Amen_break#Waveform, when a file marked PD was used on the main page as part of DYK. While I don't think there's any benefit in continuing the discussion on that article, I thought you might be interested that the topic has crept up again. MIDI (talk) 09:41, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
