User talk:Elli

Hi! This is my talk page, feel free to drop me a message. To experienced editors: feel free to stalk my talk page and reply to any threads here.To admins: I prefer that my talk page remain unprotected, even if it's being vandalized. Such edits do not particularly bother me and I prefer to remain accessible to anyone who would like to reach me. However, if the volume of vandalism is so high that no other solution would stop disruption, I don't mind if my talk page is semi-protected for a day or two. Hopefully, this is a rare occurrence.

Question from Rj binay on Talk:Budoff (13:46, 27 July 2021)

How to edit --Rj binay (talk) 13:46, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

@Rj binay: hello! I think Help:Editing might be able to help you. Do you have any particular questions? Elli (talk | contribs) 14:51, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Problem

I was looking at the article for Medicaid, and I saw that the map showing states who have expanded Medicaid is outdated. The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the state must expand Medicaid. I tried changing the picture myself, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Would you mind doing it for me? Scorpions13256 (talk) 19:29, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Scorpions13256 it looks like you did it successfully, so it's probably just a caching issue on your end. Clear your cache and reload and it should be fine. Elli (talk | contribs) 19:36, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Move review: Closing of the Requested move 14 June 2021

Hi, I saw that you closed this transfer request after a single contrary opinion (even outside the maximum time limit). I believe that the current name of that page is objectively wrong and that some opinions expressed before have not taken into account the real name of that party, nor the name used by the sources. So I asked for a new request to move and to date I have received only one opinion in favor of the move. The situation has stalled, so I have received the suggestion to start a move review. First I must therefore contact the closer of the first procedure, which is you. I'm not very familiar with this procedure, but I think it closed a little quickly. What should I do in this case? --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 19:58, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Comment – As the nominator had provided valid reasoning as well as reliable sources and was unopposed, I initially intended to close the nominator’s second RM as 'moved'. But upon seeing that a clone RM, not a month earlier, had an objection and was closed as ‘not moved’, I abstained. However, I do agree with the nominator that your close was a bit premature (8 days following the nomination and only 1 day following the latest engagement) and, without offense, a single objection and a single supporting vote (the nomination) doesn't constitute a "consensus to not move". So I counseled the nominator to contact you (/initiate a WP:MR). Colonestarrice (talk) 20:34, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

@Scia Della Cometa and Colonestarrice: hi, thanks for both of your comments. I tend to close low-participation RMs where all the comments are the same way to get the backlog down - if you had replied to the comment there I likely would've relisted. If you asked me to undo my close at the time, I would've - the line between closing and relisting is often not clear. Anyway, since you've started another RM, taking the first one to move review now doesn't make sense - just wait for your second RM to be closed. I'd suggest advertising this RM neutrally to relevant wikiprojects to get more comments and a clearer consensus. Please feel free to ask if you have further questions/concerns! Elli (talk | contribs) 21:06, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Ok, before we make this anymore complicated than necessary: @Andrewa: do you have any ongoing objections? If not, I will close this RM as 'moved'. Colonestarrice (talk) 21:44, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately I had not had time to respond to the user's contrary opinion and I had not asked you to undo your closure because I am not familiar with the procedures of en.wikipedia. Anyway I don't know how to advertise this RM. In the meantime, however, let's await the opinion of the other user. --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 21:48, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Scia Della Cometa no worries! If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:22, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, and a request

Thanks for your help on the page I created for Phratora tibialis! I worked on the main Phratora page and I did a lot of editing of the pages for Phratora vitellinae and Phratora laticollis. I even added a bit of info and a picture to the Phratora purpurea page. The picture there was taken in Kalamazoo, where I found those beetles in 1991 and where I grew up. I wonder, how could I get the pages that I edited reviewed? It seems like new pages get noticed quickly, but existing ones that are edited aren't noticed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NCalBeetleGuy (talk • contribs) 03:10, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@NCalBeetleGuy: awesome, thanks for all of your improvements. As for reviewed - new page patrol - which is what I do - only applies to new pages. If you'd like the ratings of pages you've edited updated on their talkpage, you can just do that yourself. If you'd like a more formal review process, you might want to look at either requesting a peer review, or nominating it for good article status, both of which involve review processes of your articles. Does that help? Elli (talk | contribs) 03:29, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

yes, it helps a lot! As you can see, I am a bit of a Wikipedia novice. Your info is very helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NCalBeetleGuy (talk • contribs) 19:43, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@NCalBeetleGuy: glad I can help! One more thing - I'd advice you look at WP:TALKREPLY - it helps for collaboration to indent and sign your comments. ty! Elli (talk | contribs) 05:33, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

@Elli:Thanks! I wondered how to do that.

not this mf reviewing my userpage bruh

thanks ig Isabelle0934 (talk) 04:40, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

@Isabelle0934: hope you don't mind - I tend to review every userpage I come across that's unreviewed. Nominally useful at least :P Elli (talk | contribs) 04:44, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

@Elli: lmao it’s okay thank you Isabelle0934 (talk) 04:46, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Can you please create a template?

Hi Elli, hope you had a wonderful vacation. And now that you're back can you help me by creating a template that I can put in sections such as Alabama's 1st congressional district#Voting, which reads as "The district may have undergone boundary changes due to redistricting, and may not be reflective of the district's current geographical position." or something else that conveys the core message. I came across confused people, who are confused if the results are calculated on the basis of current map or just the results of the older map. Basically, the template must be something that works on mobile version too, since a lot of templates don't work there. I wanted to make something that could look similar to the {{See also}} template, on mobile devices. But I couldn't. Please make one if you know how to. Thanks! ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 16:54, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

@CX Zoom: sure - does {{see also}} not work on mobile devices? I thought it did...

let me know because whether or not it does matters a bit (as to how I would code the template on the back-end). Elli (talk | contribs) 00:20, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

@Elli: {{See also}} works perfectly on mobile devices, that's why something similar should work. It's just that I was a bit overwhelmed by it's code, so I concluded that the work will be better done by experienced template editors. ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 03:53, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Just curious... (to talkpage stalkers)

Who are my 42 talkpage stalkers? Feel free to drop a reply or just click the "thank" button on this edit if you want to be less conspicuous, I'm just very curious. Thanks all (and thanks for watching :3)! Elli (talk | contribs) 01:28, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Page moves

Hello Elli. Just an FYI, when you move pages like 2021 Alberta referendum following an RM, you should also change any links to the page on templates that appear on that article (i.e. in this case {{AlbertaElections}}) – see Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Sidebars and navbars. Cheers, Number 57 11:39, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

@Number 57: ah, sorry, I usually tend to do that but I must've forgotten this time. Thanks for the message! Elli (talk | contribs) 12:19, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

DYK for 537 Votes

On 24 August 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 537 Votes, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that 537 Votes, documenting the controversial 2000 United States presidential election in Florida, was released in the run-up to the 2020 United States presidential election? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/537 Votes. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 537 Votes), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
