Nice kittens bro Kaiser Kitkat (talk)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Eleanora O'Donnell Iselin is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bearcat (talk) 22:25, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I ran into Wikipedia:ACF Regionals answers, which I had never seen before, and found myself picking a random red link from Wikipedia:ACF Regionals answers/02, and wrote up Reuben Bright. Then I'm clicking around on those pages just to see what it is (I'm not that familiar with Quiz Bowl and didn't know we cared), and find that you commented seven years ago, at Wikipedia_talk:ACF_Regionals_answers. So I click on your contributions to see if you're still around, and find you that recently you commented on the talk page of ... Reuben. That's not a coincidence, and I think we both need to rethink our lunch order. Take care, and Roll Tide, Drmies (talk) 14:33, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! And that just happens to be my preferred test for a new sandwich place: Order the reuben. Why does every little courthouse square café in the South serve a reuben? I mean, I’m not complaining. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 06:18, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ottilie Assing, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page James McBride. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:25, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see you created this redirect from template space. I'm rough on the gritty details of templates...can you explain what purpose this serves? Nothing links to it. If it has one, it should probably be retargeted to the new disambiguation page at Protected areas of Georgia, or moved. Otherwise, I'm inclined to take it to WP:RFD. Thanks, Mdewman6 (talk) 00:52, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Mdewman6, and thanks for flagging my mistake. Clearly I forgot to include Template: in front of the redirect target, and then I forgot to check my work. I just fixed the error.

As for the rationale for redirecting, I was thinking that if someone on English Wikipedia linked to a "Protected areas of Georgia" template but forgot to specify which Georgia they meant, it would most likely be the U.S. state. I freely admit that there is only a very slim chance that this will ever happen. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 02:13, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. That makes sense. But, given that there is also Template:Protected areas of Georgia (country) it shouldn't redirect to the U.S. state template. I think a template dab should exist there to alert editors to choose the right template. I've found examples from similar situations and will go ahead and do so. Let me know if you have any concerns.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
