Christine Elizabeth AbrahamsenGood day, Gamaliel! I wanted to thank and commend you for your article on Christine Elizabeth Abrahamsen!

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:50, 31 December 2021 (UTC) How we will see unregistered usersHi! 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 subscribe to the 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) 18:12, 4 January 2022 (UTC) Great paperI really liked your paper. It was a shame I missed it when it first came out, but glad I was alerted to it by User:Atsme at the badpersons blog forum. To be honest, I think it may be my favorite work ever written about Wikipedia as a phenomenon. jps (talk) 20:33, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

I simply adore your work on women's biographies. I reverted because a) the current version, albeit I can agree is flawed, is the stable version and removing it wouldn't really bring attention to the issues or improve the article and b) I knew it would provide a reconnection point to start discussions on improvement and finish it this time. The edits you removed were slipped in as we opened discussions about those issues on the talk page. Even so we left the article as it was to avoid edit warring. Now, I hope we get somewhere and finally put this to rest. Thank you so much for your contributions. --ARoseWolf 13:48, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful.

--Lajmmoore (talk) 12:53, 26 February 2023 (UTC) via MassMessaging Feminism and Folklore Fountain toolI was wondering, Gamaliel, whether there have been any problems with the articles I have been submitting to the Fountain tool in connection with Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/259. It has been quite some time since any of them have been processed. I have seen that other contributors have been submitting their contributions directly to this address. It's not that I'm interested in the prizes but I think it would be useful to other contributors if they were able to cover some of those I have developed.

I've always said that whole situation was overblown, ridiculous, and a bit of a witch hunt, and I still stand by that, but, well, I feel like I should at least talk to you before I try to write anything about it, as I'd imagine it's a bit of a sore point.

That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC) Magazine writerHi there. I just created an article on an obscure magazine writer, Mary Newmarch Prescott. It may be the first time I added the Category:American magazine writers. I noticed that there are a lot of people in the Category:Magazine writers and that this category has 4 other Wikipedia language versions (so, potentially, even more biographies), but there was no Wikidata item for "magazine writer", ergo, I created this: d:Q123853167. I added it to MNP's Wikidata item, but at the moment at least, I don't have the time or inclination to add it by hand to everyone else's. Wondering if there's some easy way or tool, to expedite it? (P.S. I'm not trying to throw extra work at you... Just figured you're an expert on Wikidata things so a good person to ask.) -- Rosiestep (talk) 17:34, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal.

We hope you will continue making quality contributions. The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article. Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

So this issue with incorrect format of authority controls has happened to me more times than I can count, but today's example will suffice. I've done my research and I'm going to start an article on Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association Experiment Station. I check Wikidata to see if it already has an item; it doesn't. I check VIAF to see if it has an item and it does. I create the Wikidata item and I add all the authority controls associated with the VIAF entry. No problem with these: VIAF, LC, ISNI, BIBSYS, J9U. But when I add DNB and NLA, they show problematic marks next to the entry. Do you know the correct format for adding DNB and NLA? Thanks! -- Rosiestep (talk) 16:02, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
@Rosiestep: Two wikidata user scripts that might help. You can find them both at wikidata:Wikidata:Tools/Enhance_user_interface.
I've relied on identifierInput so much that I'm not even sure how to format this stuff manually anymore. I tried it on Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association Experiment Station (Q131146285) and it seemed to format the DNB correctly for me. Gamaliel (talk) 17:34, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
