Technical news

• The Wikimania 2022 Hackathon will take place virtually from 11 August to 14 August.

Punjab, Pakistan

For last 30 days, I have been fixing the literacy rate and HDI of Punjab, Pakistan which is 66.3% and 0.564 respectively according to the given references but someone again mess up with them. Therefore, I had no other option but to remove literacy and HDI so no one can mess with it. So I request you to fix the literacy rate and HDI. Also, lock the Punjab, Pakistan wiki page Salman1911k (talk) 08:16, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Edit request mis-templated

I'm hunting down policies, and your response template to Talk:Donald Trump#Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 17 August 2022 was incorrect, as what the user requested is basically identical to one of our example edit requests. The better option for the Talk page appearance would seem to me to be that I contact you directly about this and let you decide if you want to remedy it. A proper template would have been {{subst:Ep|n}} followed by an appropriate explanation to the effect of: "Sources are not required to be cited inline in the lead section when the information is well-attributed in the article body," perhaps with a section link or ref number to boot. Remember, for many readers the edit request may be their first interaction with the "community experience" of Wikipedia, so official-looking action especially should have every appearance of due consideration and care. SamuelRiv (talk) 22:34, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

My response was correct for the simple reason that "The last line of the main page before edits" does not identify exactly what content the editor was referring to and proposed be changed. Are you sure you're writing concerning my response? Another editor responded shortly after me advising that the content that editor believed they were referring to was present by consensus.

Query

Hello,

I have a question I was wondering if I could ask u as an administrator:

TeeVeeed was banned from editing under the Kiwi Farms topic. Since from my understanding Kiwi Farms falls under gender and sexuality - as Tee's recent vio of their ban was logged here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1109061667 - would this msg they sent on Talk:The Right Stuff (blog): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1109039416 be another topic ban vio since The Right Stuff is also a Nazi site like Kiwi Farms was Stephanie921 (talk) 18:43, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

@Stephanie921: Full disclosure, I'm not an admin. But I'm somewhat familiar with the matter you're referring to. I only see a discretionary sanction at Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/2022 banning the editor from engaging at Kiwi Farms, not at any other page. The editor was notified here that pages they were editing on the topic of gender and sexuality opened them to sanctions for any violations of policy. But I don't see that any sanctions were issued for the editor's actions at any page other than Kiwi Farms. It would be up to an admin to determine if the editor violated policy and should also be banned at any other page. General Ization ^Talk 20:29, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay, ty Stephanie921 (talk) 20:32, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
