== Nobscot and Saxonville ==

Hey related to [[User talk:Jerem43/Archive 15#Nobscot station|our previous discussion]], I have some new answers. The building next to the Hemenway School has [http://www.nobscotpost.com/ been restored]. It was not the station itself; it was the post office, and one window also sold train tickets.

What you say is the Saxonville station is definitely not the station building but [http://www.vistadome.com/sax/saxb.html an old carriage house]]. However, I do believe the roof is from the station - it was refitted to the carriage house at a later date. Cheers, [[User:Pi.1415926535|Pi.1415926535]] ([[User talk:Pi.1415926535|talk]]) 03:18, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

==Burger King==

What is your relationship with Burger King? You seem - based on your contributions - to be rather obsessed with it... also, why did you add a template to the Olayan Group despite their small participation in Burger King? The template that you added to their Wikipedia article clearly misrepresents the Olayan Group's involvement with or dependence upon Burger King which is a small part of their portfolio... [[User:Stevenmitchell|Stevenmitchell]] ([[User talk:Stevenmitchell|talk]]) 02:59, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

# I worked for a now defunct franchise of Burger King. I'm using that knowledge to do these articles. I used to do other stuff, but after a series of bad interactions with some users that were not [[WP:AGF|assuming good faith]] here on Wikipedia, I've cut back to the stuff that pretty much won't be contested. And before you ask, I am not a paid editor, have ever been compensated for editing nor edited as part of my job duties.
# The Olayan Group is the [[master franchise]] for the entire Middle East, excluding Israel and Turkey. In other words, they are the direct or indirect or owner or supervisor of every single Burger King in about 15 different countries. I wouldn't call that a small part of their operations. They are in the same class as [[Hungry Jack's]], The master franchise for Australia. The owner of Hungry Jack's also has a whole other series of businesses of which Hungry Jack's is just one part of.

== February 2016 ==
[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:Garchy|Garchy]]. I noticed that you recently removed some content from [[:List of oyster bars]]&nbsp;without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I have restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the [[WP:Sandbox|sandbox]]. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:Garchy|my talk page]]. ''I noticed your mass removal of oyster bars that didn't have Wikipedia pages - a good portion of them had references attached - just because they don't have a Wikipedia page doesn't mean they do not fit into significance and notability guidelines. Thank you.''<!-- Template:uw-delete1 --> [[User:Garchy|Garchy]] ([[User talk:Garchy|talk]]) 15:23, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

* ''Remove list items w/o entries on WP'' is a very straight forward explanation. It means, per the page notice that is displayed at the top of the page when you go to edit that or any other similar page, that I removed items that do not have their own Wikipedia (abbreviated as WP) page. The criteria outlined in the page notice is designed to keep the contents of these list pages with in the guidelines of Wikipedia, such as - including but not limited to - [[WP:What Wikipedia is not]]. There are three types of entries that should not be placed in these lists, and they are the ones I removed:
:# [[WP:Redlinks]] - links to articles that have not been created. Please see [[WP:Write the article first]]
:# [[WP:External links]] - Links to external pages. Please see [[WP:Not a directory]]
:# Entries that are not linked to any existing article.
:As I stated, these simple guidelines are there to keep the lists from becoming cluttered with links to external pages and unwritten articles.
* Please read [[WP:Do not template the regulars]] before you plaster templates such as the one you posted on my page on other experienced editor's pages. Bad form.

::Unfortunately most of the pages you link to above are essays, meaning they are not official Wikipedia guidelines - redlinks are in fact not a negative thing on Wikipedia ([[WP:REDYES]]) - they are used to encourage new article creation. External links AS REFERENCES are quite different than linking to external links - don't get the two confused ([[WP:REF]]). I am not a new user myself, I limit myself to using templates on talk pages to those who require them (again, you cite an essay [[WP:ADVICEPAGE]] - for example, someone removing a large amount of content without a legitimate rationale - instead of taking it as insult I would use it as a learning opportunity - not everyone is going to agree with you removing the information you did - there is no clear regulation or rule that says your removal of REFERENCED material is ok, which you why you received a template asking you to not remove content from a page. Cheers! [[User:Garchy|Garchy]] ([[User talk:Garchy|talk]]) 21:36, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
:::I understand your point, after further reading - will avoid redlinks [[MOS:LIST]]. <ref></ref>

== Brad Blum article ==

I understand why the edits I made last month were taken down and the article reverted to the previous content. I am not paid by Brad Blum, but on his behalf wanted to at least correct his birth year and include a photo with the article. Is this acceptable? Based on my edit to his birth year and uploading a photo, does the article need to be flagged as having neutrality issues? I have made no other changes to the original article.

== Closing discussions ==

Hi Jerem43. I noticed your ORCP poll. Given your long tenure on the site, I think you might be a good fit to help work through the backlog at some of the more fringe deletion processes, especially [[WP:CFD]]. You can read more in my "call for closers" at [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Call_for_CfD_Closers]]. Closing discussions is an excellent way to get more involved in the administrative side of the project, help clear a very large and important backlog, and show that you have the temperament and skills necessary to become an administrator. If you're interested, I'd be happy to mentor you to get you up to speed with how to close CfD discussions. Let me know if this is something that might interest you. ~ [[User:BU Rob13|<b>Rob</b><small><sub>13</sub></small>]]<sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">[[User talk:BU Rob13|Talk]]</sup> 20:47, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

== Upcoming changes to wikitext parsing ==

Hello,

There will be [[:mw:Parsing/Replacing Tidy|some changes to the way wikitext is parsed]] during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at [[Special:LintErrors]]. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.

There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LintErrors/html5-misnesting&namespace=0 misnested tags] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LintErrors/deletable-table-tag&offset=6843815&namespace=0 table problems]. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{tl|infobox ship}} is parsed).

If you are interested in helping with this project, please see [[Wikipedia:Linter]]. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at [[WT:Linter]] if you have questions.

Thank you for all the good things you do for the English Wikipedia. [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 21:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

== Invitation to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|WikiProject Portals]] ==

The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]] has been rebooted.

You are invited to '''''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Project volunteers|join]]''''', and participate in the effort to revitalize and improve the [[Portal:Contents/Portals|Portal system]] and all the portals in it.

There are sections on the WikiProject page dedicated to tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too), and areas on the talk page for discussing the improvement and automation of the various features of portals.

Many complaints have been lodged in the RfC to delete all portals, pointing out their various problems. They say that many portals are not maintained, or have fallen out of date, are useless, etc. Many of the !votes indicate that the editors who posted them simply don't believe in the potential of portals anymore.

It's time to change all that. Let's give them reasons to believe in portals, by revitalizing them.

The best response to a deletion nomination is to fix the page that was nominated. The further underway the effort is to improve portals by the time the RfC has run its course, the more of the reasons against portals will no longer apply. RfCs typically run 30 days. There are 19 days left in this one. Let's see how many portals we can update and improve before the RfC is closed, and beyond.

A healthy WikiProject dedicated to supporting and maintaining portals may be the strongest argument of all not to delete.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

Let's do this.

See ya at the WikiProject!

Sincerely, <span class="nowrap">&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; ''[[User talk:The Transhumanist|The&nbsp;Transhumanist]]''&nbsp;&nbsp; </span> 10:21, 21 April 2018 (UTC)<br>

== Thank you very much ==

The [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/RfC: Ending the system of portals#RfC: Ending the system of portals|RfC discussion to eliminate portals]] was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2018-05-24/WikiProject report|the RfC and the Portals WikiProject]].

I'd also like to let you know that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]] is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the [[WT:WPPORT|WikiProject's talk page]], or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Project members|project's members]] receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals/Newsletter archive|here]], for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, <span class="nowrap">&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; ''[[User talk:The Transhumanist|The&nbsp;Transhumanist]]''&nbsp;&nbsp; </span> 10:31, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Portal:Food/Selected article/44

A tag has been placed on Portal:Food/Selected article/44 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section P1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a portal which would be subject to speedy deletion if it were an article.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  19:24, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
