Invitation

Thank you for your contributions to articles about women on Wikipedia. I thought I'd let you know about the women's football/soccer task force, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of women's football/soccer (WOSO). If you would like to participate, join by visiting the Members page. Thanks!

Talk pages on guideline & policy pages are not a venue to announce RfCs for an article

And, of course, there is no WP:RfC. You also need to use section headings that don't focus on one particular editors. Sometimes we might, but you should be more specific. "Recent edits" would do, for instance. Talk pages after all are for discussing things such as edits, not editors. Doug Weller talk 15:44, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Lewisham East (UK Parliament constituency)

Hi I took out the bolding in the winning candidate line to keep the page consistent with the style guide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_UK_Parliament_constituencies/Style

Is there something I am missing or doing wrong? Every other constituency page I edit has it that way too.

If you mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_UK_Parliament_constituencies/Style#Elections it's an example showing the election boxes, rather than a definitive election box. I think "winning" was added later to the template. The WikiFairies just haven't got around to putting them all in bold. Some editors try to put winning candidates in bold which doesn't bold the name of the party, see this correction. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 14:51, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Ok I get it. I used to bold the winners but then I got burnt by an editor who felt quite strongly against it. They have since been banned for unrelated reasons. So bolding it is. If I get dusted up again I will be calling you in as the cavalry though :). I will go back and change all those constituency pages I have edited so that the winners are bolded. And the related by-election pages.

Accept reason: Vintage Feminist, we believe you should be able to edit now. Happy editing! Yamla (talk) 14:21, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

@Drmies: You blocked Special:Contributions/213.205.240.0/20 as a sock farm. The block is not anon-only, presumably because of the rampant sockpuppetry. But I see no overlap between edits from that range and this account, who has been editing for six years now with a clean record. I therefore suggest you, as blocking admin, consider changing the block to anon-only. Thoughts? --Yamla (talk) 12:20, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

• Yamla, I changed the block from hard to soft; Vintage Feminist, that should take care of the problem--sorry you got caught up in it. There were indeed a few socks here who were related to someone vandalizing one specific article for a few years now. I semi-protected that article also, so I'm hoping that will minimize that problem too. Drmies (talk) 13:52, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Yamla and Drmies - England beat Sweden 2-0 in the 2018 FIFA World Cup#Quarter-finals and I'm back in the game! --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 16:57, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Was it ever in doubt that they would? I'm watching Croatia right now, holding on to a one-goal lead. Imagine Belgium and Croatia both going through. What's next, Liechtenstein and San Marino? Drmies (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Katharine Coman article

Greetings, I noted that a few years ago you worked on the Katharine Coman article. I have been working on it the last several days and would like to get your input on the edits made. Please drop by if you are interested. Thanks for all you do.AnaSoc (talk) 00:56, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Looks great AnaSoc! --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 16:17, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Football Lads Alliance, July 2018

Just a heads up that the RfC has been closed. -The Gnome (talk) 08:22, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi The Gnome - Thanks very much for this and your detailed assessment before closure. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 12:14, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Mike Galsworthy

Why is this AfD such an uphill battle? Galsworthy is absolutely all over the media. T0mpr1c3 (talk) 03:04, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi T0mpr1c3, I'm in the middle of a DRN (Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Template talk:United Kingdom in the European Union) over this template Template:United Kingdom in the European Union. I added the "Calls for second vote" section. It's been a battleground ever since, the logic being "get rid of the linking articles / links to sections of articles, then delete the links from the template." I also created People's Vote and Template:People's Vote. The edit history of People's Vote is just a running battle with pedantry. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 09:16, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you both for your efforts. It seems clear that the two points raised by the OP are both incorrect, and this should be closed with no consensus to delete. -- Evertype·✆ 16:02, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
