Mentoring on FAC
Hey there! Saw you on the FACM page. I recently got 2 Hours Doing Nothing failed as an FA due to (mainly) grammar errors, and Gog the Mild advised to have a mentor on FAC. Can you help on this? Thanks, GeraldWL 15:40, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Image question
Hello, hello. Is the image at this page permissible? I wasn't convinced (nor were some others on the Discord) but I'm absolutely not an image specialist.

Friday Jan 15: ONLINE Wikipedia Day NYC
January 15, 6pm: Wikimedia NYC celebrates 20 years of Wikipedia | |
---|---|
Wikipedia Day is always a big day for Wikimedia NYC. While we cannot meet in person, we still have something special planned. We will begin the event with the debut of a new video celebrating our community. This will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the people you'll see in the video talking about Wikipedia's 20th anniversary, Wikimedia New York City, and the amazing work they do on Wikimedia projects. The event will be broadcast live via YouTube. Feel free to ask questions for the panel through the chat! We will also have some NYC wiki trivia you can participate in, with confectionery prizes.

Update on Modern Warfare Remastered peer review
Hi. I'd replied to your last comment almost a week ago at Modern Warfare Remastered's peer review but I wasn't sure if it went through or if you'd seen it as I've not heard anything since. Please could you pop over when you get the chance? Wikibenboy94 (talk) 00:04, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi David Fuchs. I'd replied further in the section as I need assistance on inserting a new image into the article but you hadn't responded. Please can you assist when you're next available? I'm thinking of closing the peer review soon as there's been no further feedback from contributors and I'm happy there's no additional targets that need to be raised other than those already discussed.

Thanks for uploading File:Raptor-red.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Hello! I see you were the one who reviewed Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door way back in 2008 for GA. However, it's 2021, and I'm wondering if you still approve of it being a GA, considering that the criteria might have changed in the meantime. Do you have any initial impressions on how this article currently looks that needs fixing? I'm asking because on working on a Paper Mario good topic. Panini🥪 15:41, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Panini!: It mostly looks fine, although I think some of the additions to the gameplay section are a little overboard in detail, and there appear to be some areas that aren't explicitly referenced (trailing sentences at the end of the gameplay paragraphs, etc.) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 17:03, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Felt I need to say this
David, I saw your vote at the case and that you want to ban me from the english wikipedia. I just want you to get the full picture and hope that you reconsider.
Yes, I was involved in an arb case 12 years ago. But what is important to take into consideration here was that it was me vs one disruptive sockpuppeteer and his sockpuppet, it was proven after the case that the first one controlled the other, and they were both indeffed for abusing multiple accounts: [1][2], I explained this here:[3]
I realize this isn't a good accuse for my own behavior at that point of time, but what is also important here is that this was 12 years ago and I had just gotten a Wikipedia account. I did not know the rules here and did not know how things worked. I did not know what "edit warring" was or how you was supposed to behave when contributing.
I went more then 9 years without a single block until Valereee recently blocked me 2 times in 1 month over Syrian Kurdistan. One of them was for discussing a source at a talkpage and the other one for saying that a user was cherry picking sources.
I hope that to you take this into consideration and that you reconsider your vote.--Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 23:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

I can't help but have this feeling that you may have overlooked Kevin's motion which is the same but for three months instead of a year.

Halo (franchise)
Hi David! I see you reverted one of my edits to Halo (franchise), with an edit summary stating "don't think removing publisher information is a MOS thing, or a citation fix". My edit summary stated "Script-assisted fixes: per CS1 and MOS:ITALICS", with CS1 linking to Help:Citation Style 1. The Work and publisher section states "the 'publisher' parameter should not be included for widely-known mainstream news sources..." which is what User:Ohconfucius/script was doing. Happy editing!

- Red vs. Blue: The Shisno Paradox
I think these article should be merged or deleted, what do you think? Judgesurreal777 (talk) 19:59, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Judgesurreal777: Nice to see you kicking around after all these years :) I brought it up on the talk page for List of RVB episodes, but the plot summaries for the episodes are overly detailed and I can't make heads nor tails of a lot of it even after having watched the series. Given that there's next to no real-world content for them besides maybe a paragraph of creative details, I think stripping out the plot entirely and just having an index of episodes and release dates on a single page is the best option and appropriate weight. I haven't really thought about the characters... my gut feeling is there's not much in the way of secondary coverage that would merit having a separate list but I haven't paid much attention. I've got some FA sweeps to worry about first so after these crop of BLPs get cleaned up and GA'd I'm going to be focusing on that instead. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 00:34, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Personal attack, disruptive editor
I am dealing with an editor (40.138.19.121) and I am not sure what my next step should be.
In summary, they keep removing a person, Billy Napier, off of the ‘Notable People’ section on the Chatsworth Ga article.
See the history here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatsworth,_Georgia
Today, this editor also just left me a message on my Talk page that is nothing but a nonsensical personal attack:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Frank042316
How should I handle this?
Thanks
Frank042316 (talk) 23:24, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hey Frank, if there's edit-warring to keep information on the page, it should really be taken to the article talk page rather than left in edit summaries. Try and engage the user there. I left them a note reminding them to keep disagreements to article content; if they keep up and refuse to engage in discussion I'd take them to a noticeboard.

informal IP-check request
I'm here IAW WP:CONTACTCU #1. I'm mildly concerned about IP users and a registered user making edits on behalf of the same real-person. At the article Reginald Barclay, I've been discussing image placement with two IP editors (109.76.200.100 & 109.76.193.171). Most-recently, a registered user—Cléééston—repeated an IP's edit w/o an edit summary. That raised my eyebrow, so I looked into the user: they have only 1341 edits in 6.68 years, have never edited that article before, and were previously blocked for sockpuppetry. Before I make any untoward claims or suggestions, but also before I accept at face-value that consensus is actually 3–1, could you check whether my small suspicions have any bearing IRL? Thanks, — Fourthords | =Λ= | 16:20, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Star Trek Generations scheduled for TFA
This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 12 August, 2021. Please check that the article needs no amendments. A coordinator will draft a blurb - based on your draft if the TFA came via TFA requests, or from an existing blurb on the FAC talk page if one has been posted. Feel free to comment on this. We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks and congratulations on your work. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:26, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
July 14: Virtual Coney Island Meetup + NYC monthly collaboration
July 14, 7pm: Virtual Coney Island Meetup + NYC monthly collaboration | |
---|---|
You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our monthly online gathering (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. Instead of our usual "WikiWednesday" Salon, we'll focus on the WikiProject NYC monthly collaboration and this month's subject of Coney Island. And rather than Zoom, we'll meet on a proximity chat virtual Coney Island beach and share over topical articles and collaborations. 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!
