War GA nom
Seriously, do not nominate the war article for GA. That would be a complete waste of time given that it's constantly in flux. EEng 02:44, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
- Okay okay, I'm sorry, I'm just not great with GA nominations, okay? That was my first GA nomination and I thought "stable" meant no edit warring, not lots of editing. InterstateFive (talk) - just another roadgeek 00:17, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

You've ruined my edits that took a lot of effort!
What the hell did you do on List of Realme Products? I was trying to add more content on Narzo series! You've ruined it! Restore it properly! Jemlim0108 (talk) 02:25, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Jemlim0108 I must've clicked the wrong thing. The reason I removed your edit was because you didn't provide a citation to a reliable source, not because you removed content w/o explanation. I changed the notice on your talk page.
- Also, if your edit gets reverted, follow the bold, revert, discuss cycle rather than reverting my revert. The latter's called edit warring, and is not allowed. Hope you understand. InterstateFive (talk) - just another roadgeek 15:25, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
Citations necessity
Wikipedia says citations necessary for contentios claims and personal stuff. Stuff which is not contentious and easily verifiable doesn't absolutely need citing Gigi D Agostino even has his Wikipedia page with links to the song I don't know how to link to a YouTube video I saw. Taking my comment down is censorship with no need and potentially spoiling peoples enjoyment of facts. You should only take down if you have some suspicion of incorrect data. If you are unsure you can simply let someone else who knows more edit out errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.20.240.120 (talk) 14:19, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Since no one has responded yet, I'll go ahead and tell you what I know. You got the information from somewhere, so can we also know where you go it, so we will know it was true. Everything needs to be verifiable, so we'll know you didn't just make it up. Some articles are patrolled better than others. And anyone has the right to remove unsourced information.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:22, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
Your help desk question
Did you find the answer to this question? You seem very experienced about this sort of thing so I assume you know they answer these questions on WP:VPT. At least I think so. I gave someone incorrect advice yesterday about another of the village pumps.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:18, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
WP:CRV, WP:V, WP:BLP, WP:VAN, WP:PROMO, and WP:NPOV
Are those links really useful? Imagine being a newcomer, making an edit that gets reverted, then seeing all those links as “help”. I think you’d be better off answering questions individually instead of having that there. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 03:21, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- I made it more specific so people don't have to waste time reading policies that do not apply to their reverted edit. I believe it's useful because it's a quick answer to their questions (asking me specifically takes more time as school/sleeping exists) interstatefive (talk) - just another roadgeek 22:22, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Your revert
You reverted [1], suggesting that it should go to AfD instead. AfD is not relevant because I didn't say the article should be deleted, I said it should be redirected.
I feel like opening an AfD or RfD for this would be overkill, because it's already obvious that this and similar articles shouldn't be articles. They're completely in-universe and make zero claim to notability, so they shouldn't be articles; this is basic Wikipedia 101 stuff (don't assume that just because I'm editing from an IP I don't understand how WP works). I started going through these The Wire character articles and redirecting all the ones that have no real-world notability information whatsoever (I was using a very low bar for this, if an article had even one thing that's not in-universe I didn't redirect it). If you really object, then we can open a grouped RfD for all these articles, but to me it seems like a waste of time because I don't even see any remotely plausible argument for keeping these. 61.18.156.43 (talk) 00:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- I believe WP:BLANK still applies here. Also, redirecting is a possible outcome at AfD, so you could just state you want the article redirected instead of deleted. interstatefive (talk) - just another roadgeek 00:38, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- I stand corrected about the deletion. Anyway, I still believe AfD would be a waste of time, so my first choice now would be to just PROD each one of these articles (with a note saying it can be replaced with a redirect instead of actually deleted). But if you don't agree with redirecting them then the PROD would just turn into an AfD anyway, so if that's the case then we can skip that step and go directly to AfD. So I guess what I'm asking is, if I went through and put a PROD on each of these articles now, would you contest them? If so, I can just go straight to AfD. 61.18.156.43 (talk) 00:41, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- I probably won't. After I got your message I looked at the articles and noticed that the article on Stan only had 3 sources, and the article on Kenard didn't have a single reference. I tagged them, but feel free to PROD away. interstatefive (talk) - just another roadgeek 00:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

- K, will do. Just a heads up, after that I'm probably also going to go around removing and tagging a bunch of non-free images I noticed in these and related pages (if these pages end up getting redirected then those images will be orphaned anyway, but there also are some non-free images on the "list of X characters on The Wire" type pages that also need to be removed). 61.18.156.43 (talk) 00:50, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Adoption
Hi there. I noticed you'd added yourself as an adopter. Thanks for that. You might want to consider stating or clarifying your active time in UTC, as your 3-7pm is probably very different to mine any many other people's. Are you only wanting to adopt people in pairs? I assume not, but your text does read rather like that's what you meant, so maybe that's worth looking at, too. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 19:39, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

What is a live edit?
See title. Apparently you need at least 10 of these to vote in the Arbitration Committee elections, but I don't know what its difference is from a regular edit. interstatefive (talk) - just another roadgeek 23:42, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- I didn't know, so I asked the experts. Please see answer at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Definition of "live edit". — Maile (talk) 01:52, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- The difference between a 'live edit' and a 'deleted edit' is mostly that the page(s) with the deleted edits have been deleted subsequent to your edit to them. This can happen for a number of reasons: you placed a speedy delete request on a page, you edited a page that was later send to AfD, your perhpas your edit got mixed up in a page with copyrighted content and a whole range of edits were revdeled even though the page itself was not deleted. According to the edit counter tool, you have more than 2800 live edits. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 01:59, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

- Following an RfC, a change has been made to the administrators inactivity policy. Under the new policy, if an administrator has not made at least 100 edits over a period of 5 years they may be desysopped for inactivity.
- Following a discussion on the bureaucrat's noticeboard, a change has been made to the bureaucrats inactivity policy.
- The ability to undelete the associated talk page when undeleting a page has been added. This was the 11th wish of the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey.
- A public status system for WMF wikis has been created. It is located at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ and is hosted separately to WMF wikis so in the case of an outage it will remain viewable.
- Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.

Please do not revert users when they blank their talk pages. They are allowed to do this.

If a user removes material from their talk page, it is normally taken to mean that the user has read and is aware of its contents. There is no need to keep them on display, and usually users should not be forced to do so. It just unnecessarily antagonizes them. Best. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:20, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Autoconfirmed users will be able to access basic information about an IP address that includes the country and connection method. Those with advanced privileges (admin, bureaucrat, checkuser) will have access to extra information that includes the Internet Service Provider and more specific location.
