I noticed you are a major contributor to 2022 Ukraine cyberattacks and thought I'd give you a heads-up: A New York Times article just reported that last Wednesday Microsoft found an attack by a new wiper, named FoxBlade apparently aimed at Ukraine govt. I started a stub on it, could use some help. The article also has some reporting on increased cooperation between Silicon Valley and US military due to Ukraine.

You receive this message because you have voted for show nearby or related articles in maps in this year’s Community Wishlist Survey. I am happy to let you know that soon it will be possible to automatically display nearby articles in a map on Commons and other Wikimedia projects using Kartographer. This feature is one of the improvements to Kartographer the Technical Wishes Team from Wikimedia Germany has been working on. Each Kartographer generated map in full-screen mode is now given a new “Show nearby articles” button at the bottom. It can be used to show and hide up to 50 geographically close articles. The deployment of this feature is planned for 12 October on a first group of wikis. After the first feedback phase, more wikis will follow. Read more on our project page. Your feedback and comments to our open questions on this feature are very much appreciated on this discussion page.

Hello, question for you.In regards to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Rollback of Vector 2022 you stated that Although there are some tweaks I would like to see (better line/color use for separation of the UI sections and less whitespace between the TOC and the article) reverting the whole thing is not a solution. If that is our first instinct, there will never be progress. Besides, the proven benefits of shorter lines and the convenience of the sticky TOC are categorically better for most readers out there. How do you feel now, months after the discussion and with certain improvements added? Before you answer this question, please read my user page to see why I am asking you this question. You do not have to answer this question at all if you wish. If you do answer this question, could you please state if you are okay with your username being used, possibly publicly?

Simatupang redirectHello! I noticed during my patrol that you redirect Simatupang to T. B. Simatupang. In my opinion, this is not a good redirect as Simatupang is the name of the clan. While T.B Simatupang might be the most famous of the Simatupang clan, redirecting the clan name to him isn't correct.

Closing Decision for Three-dimensional electrical capacitance tomography Requested Move@Toadspike: You recently opposed and closed the move request for Talk:Three-dimensional electrical capacitance tomography to revert to the original title of Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography. I originally proposed the move, and I would like to clarify a few items that you wrote about in your conclusion that I did not feel accurately followed from the discussion. Your primary conclusion was based on your search results from google scholar which showed 117,000 results for 3D ECT. When I click your source link, I see a similar 111,000 hits. However, I believe your strategy is flawed and is the same issue the original opposer WolfgangNihil committed. Through the discussion, we both agreed that in fact ECVT is a more broadly used term than 3D ECT. Perhaps you missed that section of the discussion. There are two flaws. 1.) You did not use the full name "Three-dimensional electrical capacitance tomography". 2.) You did not use quotes. When you search 3D ECT without quotes, you get many results referring to electro convulsive therapy [1]. When you use quotes "3D ECT" you get 593 results [2]. Searching the full title in quotes "Three-dimensional electrical capacitance tomography" yields 199 [3]. Comparatively searching "ECVT" also yields 3,470 but includes irrelevant results such as electronically controlled continuously variable transmission [4]. "Electrical capacitance volume tomography" with quotes provides 1,030 results [5]. Both the original opposition and I came to agree that the google scholar method of determining most widely used showed that ECVT was the better term, and this method was first proposed by the opposition. Therefore, I do not understand your conclusion to close without moving. (Marashdeh (talk) 18:00, 27 June 2024 (UTC))

Hi Toadspike! Thanks for your input during the AFD discussion for Xi Jinping–Li Keqiang Administration, and I have requested a move based on your suggestion of renaming. No worries about that. Regarding the merge of Li Keqiang Government, I personally believe that all three are distinct and notable enough to warrant individual articles, so I will not be initiating a discussion/nomination that I do not fully endorse the rationale for. But I do not oppose a merge if you find it to be necessary. Feel free to start a MERGEPROP or AFD if you think a merge is needed. I will defer to your judgment on this matter.

But please keep in mind, the notice board is not particularly for admin action, and is primarily kept up by non-admins such as yours truly, for consensus-based decisions.

DANICSYou were right. It is still called DANICS by its former name: [9][10][11], probably the common name. Could you please create a redirect for the original title too? Besides, it would be helpful if you could delete the former title, as it was incorrect—the word "administrative" was not part of the title, and the order of places, along with the spelling, was wrong. Besides, please move this page to DANIPS for consistency, same reason [12][13][14]. Additionally, can you explain the move in talk pages of both articles?

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:54, 18 December 2024 (UTC) Your recent move of Hay'at Tahrir al-ShamHello Toadspike. You recently closed the move discussion for the now-named article Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, in favour of moving to such. I'd like to talk with you about this decision, as it seems contrary to the expectations outlined in WP:RMCLOSE. I won't quote this and that from it or related policies and guidelines, because we both seem adequately capable of understanding English and reading them ourselves, but I will paraphrase/summarize it, such that I may point to what I believe is your error. I should make clear that I very intentionally want to discuss this matter directly with you, here, rather than on the article talk, and do not consider myself to be in the wrong place. The closure of a move discussion, in favour of a move, should result in a new article title that adheres to article titling convention as dictated by policy, which itself represents project consensus. While the views of discussion participants should be taken into consideration, it is only when those views are in discussion of policy that they should affect the outcome i.e. their opinions, in open-and-shut cases, should be granted significantly less weight than policy. Article titling policy, specific to this case, describes that the apostrophe should be omitted where reasonable. There are plenty of good sources, mentioned in the discussion, and a prior discussion usurped by and mentioned in this, commonly using the unapostrophised (new word?) version, to allow the preferential omittance of the apostrophe trivial. The preferences expressed in the discussion in favour of the now-current apostrophised version are mostly not based on any reasoned argument and mostly ignore policy. I think I have made my concern clear enough to get this conversation started, and would like to hear your thoughts. If you need me to clarify my concern before you feel you can properly respond, please ask.
