Hey! You just changed my DeviantArt edit! You know that this is 100% true and not something fake.
"On June 18th 2019, the design of the website was updated. The reason why the website updated it's design was because of a DeviantArt user named DrewPicklesFan1991 terrorizing the website along with various DeviantArt users (Including AgentC-24, Amazonianbeauty, and michaeldragon) for refusing to pay for someone's commissions on the website. Various DeviantArt users have blocked him because of that, And DeviantArt banned both DrewPicklesFan1991 and his alternate account DrewPicklesFan1992 for terrorizing the website as well as uploading porn on to the website."
The issue wasn't whether or not it's true, but more so the fact that it's a highly dubious addition that didn't have a reference or citation. Furthermore, it's questionable as to whether or not the exact details add anything meaningful to the article, and comes across as a bit of internet lynching.

The page says: Miscellany for deletion (MfD) is a place where Wikipedians decide what should be done with problematic pages. Looks like that statement needs tweaking... Adam9007 (talk) 00:28, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
I ended up withdrawing the nomination; As it stands, there are too many discussions going on regarding the OA policy and I don't believe the contribution of an MfD was a positive one. Will let the other venues decide what to do. Redirects can be handled at RFC. Promethean (talk)00:31, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
Promethean, It certainly wasn't my intention to add to the hoo-ha, but merely to ensure procedure is followed. Same with the RfC. We don't want to risk incurring the wrath of the WMF do we? Adam9007 (talk) 00:41, 25 June 2019 (UTC)\
@Adam9007: Completely understand the need for process when dealing with these matters; Not criticizing you at all in that regard and I actually agree with you. Just acknowledging that my decision to raise an MfD where deletion wasn't even the desired outcome was an error of judgement on my part; Putting it mildly. Promethean (talk)00:54, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
A survey to improve the community consultation outreach process
Hello!
The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking to improve the community consultation outreach process for Foundation policies, and we are interested in why you didn't participate in a recent consultation that followed a community discussion you’ve been part of.
Please fill out this short survey to help us improve our community consultation process for the future. It should only take about three minutes.
The privacy policy for this survey is here. This survey is a one-off request from us related to this unique topic.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

That man is an asshole and deserves it wholeheartedly (plus, he can't even read between the lines and see that WP:WAX's examples are all poorly related). Thebrakeman2 (talk) 12:02, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
Thebrakeman2 No. He's not an asshole, he's an editor of Wikipedia much like yourself and is owed a modicum of respect whether you like him or not. He might be wrong, or he might not be, but please remember that you will never win a content or administrative dispute by violating WP:CIVIL. Promethean (talk)18:27, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi, There is a flag on the article for Temu (company), the most downloaded iPhone app in the United States the last few months. [1] I work there so I have a COI. I have posted Talk:Temu (company)#Request for more clean up and removing flag to deal with the last few issues in cleaning this article up so the flag can be removed. Since you are a member of the WikiProject for Internet, I thought you might possibly be interested in the topic. Thanks in advance for your consideration!
