Editing newsletter 2022 – #1Read this in another language • Subscription list for the multilingual newsletter • Local subscription list The New topic tool helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages. New editors are more successful with this new tool. You can read the report. Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis. You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default. You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles.

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:58, 1 July 2022 (UTC) Looking for feedback: Elliot Grainge draftHi Davey2010 I saw you’re a member of WikiProject Hip Hop. I created a draft article for music executive Elliot Grainge from 10K Projects - are you able to take a look and give me feedback?I work for Elliot, which I understand is a conflict of interest according to Wikipedia policy, so was hoping to get the assistance of an independent editor. The draft article is here: [1] Thanks. Musicfan100 (talk) 14:34, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Deletion review at Princess Princep Shah of NepalHi, I'd like to work on Princess Princep Shah of Nepal as I understand it (I could be wrong, this is a first) I need to ask for deleteion review to re-open it and I need to notify you because you closed it. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Princess Princep Shah of Nepal Of course the close was sensible, no arguments to keep came forward, but I think she passes WP:ANYBIO so I think I need to do the deletion review. None of this is a criticism of you, you did the obvious close. So I hope this is not a pain. Discussion should start here: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2022_August_4 CT55555 (talk) 14:27, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Mr.choppers | ✎ 21:06, 19 August 2022 (UTC) BlockYou have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for personal attacks and edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} . El_C 02:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Look, Davey, you've lost your shit like a million times and been warned about that also like a million times. And while I recognize that you've been doing it less lately, which is good, and that, crucially, your attacks are rarely if ever truly egregious or mean-spirited — even still, telling us that this is just the way you are, is not good enough. Telling us to expect more attacks in the future, even if at a low frequency, that is likewise not good enough. I mean, I appreciate the honesty, but the concern is twofold: 1. Driving users away, maybe not from the project itself, but from various pages. Users may not want to challenge or correct you, even when it's due, simply for not wishing to deal with you potentially going off on them. 2. Related to that is the seeming random nature of the outbursts. It's one thing for these to happen as a consequence of getting worn down by a longstanding, intractable dispute. But it's wholly another for it to seemingly come out of nowhere, over changes that seem relatively unimportant (i.e. the capricious and unpredictable nature of the attacks makes them, or their specter, worse). Briefly on the specific dispute: neither one of you have consensus, which is now something to be determined. That you didn't notice the change for nearly 2 years, that's on you. Your opponent enjoyed WP:SILENTCONSENSUS throughout much of that time, until you objected, at which point it evaporated. In that sense, neither one of you has an edge over the other wrt consensus. Though I do note that your opponent was edit warring over an image that they, themselves, had uploaded — which can be a red flag, but I don't view as an immediate problem in this instance. Anyway, obviously I didn't indef you, but I do feel that there needs to be some consequence. Which includes having a record of the misconduct in the block log. I suppose you could argue that's it's a punitive block, but from my perspective, warning you yet again would be giving you tacit license to attack folks with impunity (and again, somewhat randomly/unpredictably). Which is just too WP:UNBLOCKABLE for me. The negative atmosphere it cultivates, by potentially pushing users away from challenging you in the course of normal collaboration — that kind of chilling effect is a problem. It's a problem when folks know there'll be no consequences for you when you attack them, save perhaps yet another warning. So, I'm sorry (truly), but no more warnings. Now it's this.
