I saw that you went through and got rid of a copyedit on my draft page for the county of Achalm. I have noticed that some people question the historical accuracy of Achalm existing as I have stated it in the entry, and I was wondering what your take on it is.
PS, thanks for the edit. Momgamer09 (talk) 14:47, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.
The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

I don't understand why people dot "etc", but I suppose they're welcome to do so. For me (and not only me), the dot is mere clutter. Am I so very wrong? -- Hoary (talk) 02:43, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi. As with every abbreviation there comes a period after etc., and despite what the guardian's internal style guide says, all I can find on Google is that one should use a period after etc. By the way, etc. without a dot is on the Wiki list of common misspellings as
and thus it's not just my opinion only. Killarnee (talk) 05:56, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
Hmm, and the dot is so necessary that it should be added to instances of "etc" within other users' signed comments? Conceivably yes it is; but if you could shed some light on the mysteries (or simply my incomprehension) described in Draft talk:Celebrating Matsu, that'd be so much more welcome. -- Hoary (talk) 07:35, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
Ah I'm seeing it now first, it was your comment and not the actual article. This was not intended but the regex currently is not able to differentiate between this and as many typos as I remove, mistakes can sometimes happen.
I would be happy if I could help but I do not speak Chinese too. I think that Lky269 created several drafts covering similar topics and all got declined because of missing reliable sources is even more mysterious. If anyone can shed light on this, then probably only Lky269 can?

Following a talk page discussion, the Administrators' accountability policy has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have notifications (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory. Administrators who do not use notifications are now strongly encouraged to indicate this on their user page.

The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.

Hello, Killarnee. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wiki: Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! * Pppery *it has begun... 17:54, 24 March 2024 (UTC) * Pppery *it has begun... 17:54, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Killarnee. Regarding your closure of this move request, the 1982 TV program is the most likely primary topic for "Today (Australian TV program)" and should be kept there, having aired for 44 years in comparison to the 1960 TV program's one year. Would you be able to either move the 1982 article back or reopen the RM discussion? Happily888 (talk) 04:49, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Today (1960 TV program) is an Australian television program too, so disambiguation by country wouldn't fully disambiguate these two articles but by year does. Or do you mean something different? And because of the primary, naming the article just today doesn't work either, so the article needs disambiguation either way.
Personally I'm against partial disambiguation in pretty much every situation, including this one, but the other viewpoint is not inherently unreasonable. * Pppery *it has begun... 17:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
