Welcome to my talk page. Leave me a message!

I'm moving into a period of low activity. Do not expect a rapid response from me.

Hi WTT, hope you're doing well and keeping healthy in all this "situation". I had a question for you which, of course, you are welcome to disregard, but since you were so generous with your time last time I made an appeal to the committee relating to DYK, I hoped you might be game for another round? Since the turn of the year I've got on with significant article expansion and have created something like 20+ GAs and (I think) around 6 FAs, and at least for the GAs it crossed my mind that it was a shame I couldn't nominate them at DYK. I have stopped commenting on the DYK section altogether for quite some time now, as you may recall I used to run a parallel ERRORS page where I was entitled to note issues. So I wonder if there's any mileage in seeing if the committee/community think it would be okay for me to have that particular editing restriction expunged? It's not entirely clear to me how to initiate such an action, but in the first instance I just wondered if you had thoughts or advice? Cheers.

Hi The Rambling Man, I'm doing well enough, though seem to be far more busy despite not leaving the house. I'm afraid I don't have a lot of advice for you at the moment, because I'd need to refresh myself on a lot of the history - the only way I manage on Wikipedia is by actively forgetting everything. If, as you say, you've been keeping your nose clean for a long period, it might be worth a request at ARCA. I'm sure there will be some opposition, but there may be sufficient support. I can't tell you which way it will go though! Worm^TT(talk) 10:40, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, not to worry. I had hoped you might be in a position to just gauge the committee's feelings, but I didn't expect you to tell me which way it might go. Cheers though. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 10:45, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Rambling Man, Give me a few weeks and I might get my head back in the game :) Worm^TT(talk) 10:46, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No stress at all. I'll still be churning out good content which will be eligible for DYK, sadly the two dozen or so GAs will have elapsed by then, but them's the breaks. Take care of yourself. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 10:48, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has kindly agreed to nominate my GAs kind of in absentia which is wonderful, but given the subject matter is not of their expertise, it's a little challenging (mainly for them, of course!). If you do get any time, please let me know what you think might be a good way ahead in reducing/removing this particular TBAN. Cheers.

Precious

Eight years!

Yesterday, I really felt supported when making Leon Fleisher ready for the Main page, for the sad reason that he died, - look how many helped! Even brighter here! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:36, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A first for me today: a featured list (= a featured topic in this case) on the Main page, see Wikipedia:Main Page history/2020 August 21, an initiative by Aza24 in memory of Brian. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:54, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I like today's Main page, with the TFA on the anniversary day (of both dedication and our concert), - more on my talk, mostly about the tribute to Brian who shared his sources. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:02, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, how do I stop the 'Jamie's Quick & Easy Food' page from being redirected? Not sure what the page is lacking. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia editing, so any advice will be much appreciated. Davidsmith2015 (talk) 15:28, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @Davidsmith2015: The answer was in the edit summary when it was turned into a redirect: "no independent sources". You find an independent source such as the Guardian review I've just added. PamD 15:58, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to look to see if anyone has the knowledge to produce a code for a bot to work (obviously if it is possible again I'll disclose my editing restrictions) but if it doesn't work or is declined its not the end of the world, I'll probably just work on creating those at User:Crouch, Swale/Settlement parishes if not but it would be useful to know if this is possible so that if its not possible I can work on current settlement parishes at AFC. As a side note for BUAs its interesting to note that at User:Crouch, Swale/BUAs there are numerous in England missing but User:Crouch, Swale/Welsh BUAs only lists a few and User:Crouch, Swale/Scottish localities only lists 4 OS settlements without articles (also note that Scotland's parishes have limited existence today so aren't a priority) thanks.

Hello

I have been a user on Wikipedia for a long time now. I wanted to acquire adminship to stop vandalism on particular pages that contain topics which are extremely communal in our country but are protected by extended protection. I request you to please nominate me as I gone through the rFa guidelines and I think I am capable of being an Admin.

Thank you! Superbsic (talk) 08:12, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
