ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message[edit]

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:51, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Shih[edit]

Information icon Hello, Lacanthrope. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Shih, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 20:01, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the drive![edit]

Welcome, welcome, welcome Lacanthrope! I'm glad that you are joining the drive! Please, have a cup of WikiTea, and go cite some articles.

Unreferenced article drive[edit]

Hey Lacanthrope,

Just wanted to congratulate you for the incredible pace you've been keeping up during the URA drive. I've tried staying right there with you, but you are absolutely unstoppable. Unfortunately I got some stuff I gotta take care of for work, so I'll probably be winding down a bit pretty soon, but I appreciate the competition you've provided thus far. Keep up the great work! JTtheOG (talk) 19:34, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @JTtheOG,
Thank you and likewise—it has been an exciting couple of days and I have to take a break soon for other commitments, but it has been an honor going neck and neck with you. Cheers!
Lacanthrope (talk) 19:52, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I saw your academic userbox, by the way. Which field of study do you specialize in, if you don't mind me asking? JTtheOG (talk) 20:24, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all! It's a mix between critical theory and Asian studies (or rather an application of critical theory to Asia); hence the great number of Chinese/Japanese edits :)
Lacanthrope (talk) 20:35, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that's awesome. Critical theory is fascinating. I studied international relations and Spanish, myself, and I hope to pursue my graduate studies soon. :) JTtheOG (talk) 06:29, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced drive - review[edit]

Hello - you used this source [1]atMatsuyama, Yamagata - in my review I left this note: "Source appears self-published, however, the site is referenced in a Yamagata Prefecture Government newsletter for the purposes of information about dialects in the prefecture, so while I feel the source is not particularly strong, it is passing." Nothing to be done, but just a good faith heads up.

BTW, great work on all your efforts during the drive! Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 00:15, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention - admittedly this slipup was due to my focus on speed at the expense of reliability for this specific group of articles. I have added a more reliable source for the articles above. Lacanthrope (talk) 03:03, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on surpassing 750 articles cited[edit]

Thank you for dedicating a significant portion of your time to this drive. Though you have "only" dealed with ~1% articles in the backlog, your impact is much greater than you might imagine. You have help set a fire for future endeavors to make Wikipedia more complete and comprehensive.

As you have well surpassed 750 articles cited, I would like to award you the level 10 badge early. Perhaps, a quote from one of our writers who has recently passed away would be the most appropriate here for the monumental work – citing all articles on Wikipedia – that we are dealing with.

The only way Completion can and will be reached is through a Herculean amount of work. Completion will also require Completionists to be bold, but civil and patient, and to some extent charismatic. This is a collaborative project! It shall also require Completionists to be discerning and travel to many places to acquire what the Encyclopedia needs. But most of all, it must be repeated, it shall require us to work. As is said of the Swabians,『Schaffe, schaffe Häusle baue』— Let's work and work, and build a house.

Automated tool[edit]

Hello. I was looking at your contributions and I noticed quite the rapid pace in adding references to articles, often doing so 3 to 5 times per minute. What tools are you using to do this so quickly? I ask because it seems strange for a less experienced user to be making these types of edits so quickly without the use of a tool to assist them in doing so. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:59, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Hey man im josh:
Thank you for asking! Everything's actually done manually; I just learned to pick up a few keyboard shortcuts (e.g. ALT+SHIFT+E) and shorthand for common templates (e.g. {{refs}} instead of {{references}}) along the way.
