Thank you for improving articles in November! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:40, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded pics of a trip that was a 10-day celebration of a 16 November event, but the day was also when a dear friend died. We sang Hevenu shalom aleichem at his funeral yesterday, and it was good. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cremastra! Thank you for helping out at CFD; we really appreciate it. Two notes about Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 November 18#Category:Intersex. First, when placing discussions at WT:CFDW, we place them outside of the {{cot}}/{{cob}} bit (we collapse nominations which have been processed). The other thing is that none of those categories were tagged, meaning that the discussion should be relisted and tags placed on them. I would be happy to take care of that for you; also happy to let you do it. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:14, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To editor HouseBlaster: Thank-you for your guidance. I've fixed the listing at WT:CFDW.

However, the pages were all tagged (example revision); the tags were removed when I closed the discussion in preparation of the renaming. Thanks, Cremastra ‹ u — c › 22:32, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Self-trout for not looking closer. In that case, different note: We generally leave things tagged, because the bot will de-tag them for us. It also helps catch times when they are not processed for whatever reason (by way of populating e.g. Category:Categories for discussion from November 2024). Sorry for the trouble, Cremastra. And thank you again for helping out :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:35, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, and my mistake for detagging them. Cheers, Cremastra ‹ u — c › 22:37, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cremastra, I saw this and wondered why you think it isn't a copyright violation. Nobody (talk) 07:58, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@1AmNobody24 Because although it claims it's 98% match, the match is just a rather long book title that's cited in the references section. I may be missing something here, but I don't think there's any copyvio. Cheers, Cremastra ‹ u — c › 13:29, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you got that wrong. The book title is "Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500-1700" not the whole section. Nobody (talk) 13:33, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I don't understand this comment – which section? Copypatrol [1] shows five matches: the first four are the phrase "Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500-1700", which appears once in the article and four times in the source; the fifth match is the generic short phrase "on the Black Sea steppe". An earwig check returns nothing over 10%. Cremastra ‹ u — c › 13:36, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This shows better what i mean. Nobody (talk) 14:08, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@1AmNobody24 Yes, that's my bad. I didn't see the "iThenticate report" link and was going only off the comparison in copypatrol. I guess the text is somewhere in the book we don't have access to. I'll take the necessary steps to remove the copyvio.

Sorry for the confusion,

Cremastra ‹ u — c › 20:45, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

Maliner (talk) 22:22, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thank you. :) I'm not looking for the mop just yet, but I will bear your support in mind if I decide to go that way next year. Happy editing, Cremastra ‹ u — c › 22:27, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Best of luck! Maliner (talk) 22:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Cremastra, you closed the RfD as Keep, but did not remove the RfD tags from the redirect. Jay 💬 22:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Fixed thank you very much for telling me. Cremastra ‹ u — c › 22:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I had the idea a little while ago but didn't act on it until now.

Hopefully it gets used. :) Cremastra ‹ u — c › 21:39, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your assistance! Because I recently brought up copyvio issues on the article page, I brusquely removed my talk page message when you were clearly referring to a different thing. Silly me. Thanks again for looking out!Plasticwonder (talk) 00:47, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, and thanks for the brownie. Cremastra ‹ u — c › 01:40, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

January 2025 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.
