| March 17, 7pm: ONLINE WikiWednesday Salon NYC with Wikimedia Community Ireland for St Patrick's Day | |
|---|---|
 You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our monthly "WikiWednesday" evening salon (7-8pm) and knowledge-sharing workshop. To join the meeting from your computer or smartphone, just visit this link. More information about how to connect is available on the meetup page. We look forward to seeing local Wikimedians, but would also like to invite folks from the greater New York metropolitan area (and beyond!) who might not typically be able to join us in person! As this WikiWednesday coincides with Saint Patrick's Day, we will have a guest speaker from Wikimedia Community Ireland, about Irish-language Wikipedia, the efforts of the community in Ireland, and personal work on historical biographies with a special Irish-New York connection. This month will also include a discussion of Black WikiHistory Month in February and WikiWomen's History Month and Art+Feminism in March, and of course the great work that is being done in these topical areas throughout the year. If there's a project you'd like to share or a question you'd like answered, just let us know by adding it to the agenda or the talk page.

Please stop
You appear to be going through a number of edits I made and reverting them without leaving an edit summary. Please take a moment to read WP:RV and stop your disruptive editing. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:07, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Magnolia677: I am going through and reverting many of your edits because they are mostly nonsensical and clearly harassment. You went around reverting nearly all the edits of a new editor, and multiple other editors already expressed that you were being overzealous and biting a newbie. You're doing things like removing historical photos from articles with no alternative images, calling everything low-quality or irrelevant with no real explanation. In one case I even saw you refer to a "watermark" when the image was a digitized postcard that simply had the original words of the postcard on it. Now you're edit warring by reverting multiple times without consensus. You are in the wrong here. Dominic·t 21:23, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- The images are low-quality. Please see this comment. They were added by an editor who was required to add images to nine Wikipedia articles by their employer. If you think the images are high quality, start a discussion on the relevant talk pages. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:30, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- You are being reverted by multiple editors, and with this edit you added this unbelievably crappy photo back into an article, after it was deleted because it was such an unbelievably crappy photo. Please stop your disruptive editing. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:43, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
DYK for Orgill (company)
On 4 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Orgill (company), which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that Orgill, Inc., now the world's largest independently owned distributor of hardlines, began as a hardware store in 1847, making it the oldest Memphis-founded company still in operation? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Orgill (company). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Orgill (company)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now.

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!
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)
