A message from Ed6767 about RedWarn
Hello RedWarn tester! I hate to reitterate, but thank you so much for being willing to test RedWarn, I really appreciate it.
In the past few updates, I have added AIV (admin) reporting, a preferences panel, themes, customisation options and made many, many bug fixes and added many features based on your suggestions and feedback.
Unfortunately, recently feedback has run dry.
Even if you do not use RedWarn at the moment, or you do (tysm), I would greatly appreciate feedback of any kind. While I go round Twinkle users, sounding like that broadband salesperson in the mall that nobody ever wants to speak to, I'd like some updated feedback from recent and current users.
Any sort of feedback below would be greately appreciated!
- Your first impressions when you tried RedWarn?
- How have you used RedWarn as time has gone on?
- Would you value customisation features, such as macros or shortcuts, such as adding your own quick revert reasons so the tool can fit your exact editing practices?
- Any suggestions for how I could promote the tool to a wider audience?
- Would you appreciate a more developed and thorough user guide?
- Any theme suggestions?
- Anything you'd like changing?
- Something you've always wanted to see in an anti-vandal tool? (I might add it!)
- RedWarn app?
- A way to introduce Recent Changes patrol to new users to make using RedWarn or other tools less daunting?
- Any bugs, gripes, or things that just really annoy you about RedWarn?

My goal is to create the most user friendly moderation tool, and that's why I need your feedback to help make this truely the most favorable anti-vandal tool. While we will never elliminate vandalism on this site, we can get closer to fighting it quickly and easily.
Many thanks for your continued support. Ed6767 (talk) 00:17, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
If you do not wish to get these feedback reminders, let me know on my talk page.
A barnstar for you!

Notability
So here's what I do: I create a draft in my user space. I start collecting sources and writing the article. Only after I've proven to myself that a subject is notable do I move it to article space. You can see at User:Valereee#To_Do how many articles I've started that have waited for YEARS while I try to find sources to prove them notable. YEARS. And there are probably fifty such drafts awaiting that. Start the drafts. Don't move them to article space until you're pretty darn sure you've got notability. —valereee (talk) 02:42, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Got it. That is actually really good advice. I will take that to heart. Thank you so much! Elijahandskip (talk) 02:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Invite!
Please accept this invitation to join WikiProject Weather's Non-tropical storms task force (WPNTS), a task force dedicated to improving all articles associated with extratropical cyclones on Wikipedia. WPNTS hosts a number of Wikipedia's highly-viewed articles, and needs your help for the upcoming winter season (for whichever hemisphere happens to be in its climatological winter). Simply and add your name to the list to accept! |

- Thank you HurricaneCovid. I accepted the invite. Thank you for it! Elijahandskip (talk) 02:38, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- No problem! Thanks for joining! We need all the participants we can get on this project.
Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Weather's Non-tropical storms task force! We are a group of Wikipedia editors who help to improve articles related to extratropical cyclones on Wikipedia.
Looking for somewhere to start? Here are a few suggestions.
- You can check out topics in our scope on the home page.
- You can re-assess storm-related articles to assure they are up to standards.
- See the to-do list for the task force, and opt to try and complete some of those tasks.
- If you want to work on an article, Category:Stub-Class Non-tropical storm articles is a great place to start.
- You can also check out the newsletter, known as The Frozen Times.
- For further information, you could join the WikiProject Weather IRC channel or Discord server.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or would like to talk about the project in general, feel free to leave a message on the talk page.

ITN recognition for Colonial Pipeline cyberattack
A word of encouragement
I appreciate your enthusiasm and determination to keep contributing to Wikipedia. It can be tough to keep going when you make mistakes and they're pointed out to you. I can imagine it must be hard feeling that your actions are closely scrutinised by others, although it's worth remembering that people are doing this because you tend to contribute in high-impact areas of the wiki. People want to see you succeed as an editor just as much as they want to uphold Wikipedia's policies. My advice would be to always approach things cautiously – I stop and re-read the policies and guidelines whenever I'm involved in something complex; there's no rush, and it's always useful to listen to what others think about something. Sometimes I have to accept that I'm simply out of my depth in an area and need more time and experience before I can fully participate in it – I wouldn't be qualified to jump into an arbitrator's role at WP:ARBCOM tomorrow! Most importantly, keep up your enthusiasm. That's it really, I just wanted to remind you that you being here is appreciated. Jr8825 • Talk 11:57, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
- Wow. Thank you for that! Will be using that advice from here on out. Elijahandskip (talk) 12:07, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
A cup of coffee for you!
You have great enthusiasm in making proposals and jumping into editing complicated Wikipedia articles on major global events. When you set up the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack article you advanced the discussion on this issue by precious hours at a time when many people wanted information. I appreciate your participation in enforcing notability guidelines and exploring community organization. Thanks and happy editing - Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:06, 19 May 2021 (UTC) |

Topic ban violations
You are currently topic banned from any articles relating to US politics post 1992 (and have been blocked for violations of that topic ban a few times). How does e.g. an article about the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan–United States relations, with discussions about the recognition of the Taliban government by the US government, not count as an article about US politics? Fram (talk) 08:06, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
- You are right. God damnit. I was trying to get away and start a new time on Wikipedia because of my previous stupid edits, but I made a mistake. Well, to prevent any further problems, I am going to stop editing on that article and go back to WikiProject Twenty-Tens decade. Also hey Fram. Sorry this is how we met after my break from editing. I was planning to sent an apology message to everyone about the t-ban issues I had months ago on September 2, when it expires, but sadly, I won't be able to sent you one...since you know...this is how we met after my break. But take care my friend, sorry for the edit problems, and I hope we can get along especially once my t-ban expires in 3 days. Elijahandskip (talk) 13:53, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
- Also correction to the email I sent - Should be ‘International Relations’. Elijahandskip (talk) 15:19, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan–United States relations
Hello, Elijahandskip, your article Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan–United States relations, doesn't have much to stand on its own in my view. I think you should incorporate this information into the main relations article between Afghanistan and the United States under the necessary section or sections. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:23, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
- WikiCleanerMan, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to edit the article or discuss about it until September 2, due to a T-Ban which I was reminded about earlier today. I am under a Post-1992 US Politics ban, which expires September 2. (Don't worry, that article isn't the reason for it. The ban started 6 months ago.) So until September 2, the article will have to remain as it is until I can fix it and properly add needed information, especially information to fix that OR tag. There are reasons that I can't say right now as to why it should be a stand alone article, but on September 2, I can explain those fully. Have a good day and thank you for the notice!
