Support request with team editing experiment project
Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

NHRP detaggables
So, I ended up here: User:The Anome/NHRP detaggables because of this redirect, Skeleton Cave Massacre Site. I recently created Skeleton Cave (Arizona), and when I was linking other pages to the article, I found the detaggables page. In scanning your list, I came across Work, John, House and Mill Site which I then linked to John Work House and Mill Site which has existed since 2006.
It occurred to me that there may be a number of pages already in existence, but since they are not formatted the same as what's on this page, they aren't being identified as being done. I'm trying to think on how to solve this problem. --evrik (talk)
2019 SI redefinition
Proposed deletion of Hi Octane
![Notice](https://web.archive.org/web/20220624213754im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
The article Hi Octane has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Sources are primary or not about the show. Given its extremely short life, it likely attracted no attention from media
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- @TenPoundHammer: It most certainly has attracted press attention, to the point where people have recently written retrospectives about it, over 25 years after its broadcast. I've added three more WP:RS, and removed the PROD notice. — The Anome (talk) 08:20, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Editing newsletter 2022 – #1
Read this in another language • Subscription list for the multilingual newsletter • Local subscription list
The New topic tool helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages. New editors are more successful with this new tool. You can read the report. Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis. You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default. You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.
The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles. You can see some ideas at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project#Prototype Ready for Feedback.

What's a reliable source for a movies director then, if Wikipedia isn't either?
Honest query, pal. 49.184.175.53 (talk) 16:21, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- The more reputable parts of the mainstream press (see WP:RELIABLE), books published by reputable publishers, and film industry magazines that meet WP:RS: see Category:Film magazines by country for an extensive list of film magazines. — The Anome (talk) 16:29, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Coordinates missing on Chinju no Mori
Chinju no Mori is not a location and should not have coordinates on it. It is a type of shrine and is in the categories Category:Forests of Japan and Category:Shinto shrines because it is a type of shrine not because it is an individual shrine.Immanuelle 💗 (please tag me) 15:00, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Immanuelle: Thank you for catching this. I've modified the category tags on the page to have empty sort tags, which is done by convention for articles which are not actually an instance of one of the classes implied by a category tag. This shouldn't happen again, because the bot keeps logs of its activity, and should only try to tag a page once. — The Anome (talk) 15:09, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
