As some of you may have noticed, I have not been too active on Wikipedia recently. Currently, I have lost most of my interest and motivation in editing Wikipedia and have been mostly editing OpenStreetMap, playing video games, and will be travelling through the Spring. Inevitably I will be back someday (hopefully in the next handful of months) and will continue my hours of editing sprees, I can't specify when though. I'll still make occasional edits but I won't be as active as I was previously. I will try to respond to talk page messages, but it might take up to a week before I do so. In conclusion, for the time being, I am going on an indefinite wikibreak where I will still make some edits here and there.

Welcome to my talk page. If you are leaving a new message here, be sure to leave it under the last message left here. I can take new userbox requests, help you with any inquiries or accept comments regarding page reviewing, or discuss a mark for deletion on I left on your article (however, if there is a deletion discussion for your article, please consider leaving your message at that page so others can help assist you and discuss the deletion of your article, rather than directly messaging me here). Remember that I am not an admin but rather a regular editor with new page reviewer rights, and I do not have any authority over you nor can I directly delete your pages or block you from editing.

Request

@WaddlesJP13: Can you check the article Utica Queen, I'm to sure that this article is notable to be on Wikipedia. Catfurball (talk) 22:22, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Catfurball: I had a look at the article and I'm not entirely sure whether I think it's notable or not. The article seems like it's properly sourced, but the subject might fail WP:BLP1E. You might be able to start a deletion discussion about it though, and see what others think of it. Waddles 🎄 ❄️️ 01:49, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Hutch BMX

On 6 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hutch BMX, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a bicycle shop in Maryland became a major BMX bike manufacturer in the 1980s? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hutch BMX. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hutch BMX), 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.

@Rodrigo1198: I've created the userboxes, however I cannot 100% guarantee that some of the logos will stay in the userbox as they might be permitted only in articles. And just to let you know, anybody can create userboxes although it can be time-consuming or difficult if you are inexperienced in doing so. If you have anymore requests, just let me know.

Is there a way where all userboxes stay in the same row and not overlap to another one leaving user box on wone row and another user box on a different row. You can check my user page to see what I’m referring to. Rodrigo1198 (talk) 20:59, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodrigo1198: There is a way to do so, and I've done it for you on your userpage. If you want it on the right side of the page, you can add style="float:right" after the {| at the top of the column. Waddles 🗩 🖉 21:02, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is it common for images to not show up on the userboxes after doing that setup, the images for Real Madrid, Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs are not showing up? Rodrigo1198 (talk) 21:19, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodrigo1198: That shouldn't happen, so it looks like they were removed by a bot since they are copyrighted images and can only be used in articles. Waddles 🗩 🖉 21:31, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can I upload images that can be used in Userboxes? Rodrigo1198 (talk) 21:43, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

or that is not possible to do? Rodrigo1198 (talk) 23:05, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodrigo1198: I'm not completely familiar with copyright rules, but I do know that logos like the Circuit of the Americas and Chicago Cubs are more free to use since their design are simple and not complex enough to be a copyrighted logo. I also think the logo needs to be used in at least one article for it to stay uploaded on Wikipedia, so you wouldn't be able to upload them yourself. You might be able to find images of the players, a sports game, or the home stadium/arena to replace the removed logo image files if they're available in Wikimedia Commons or are free Flickr images.

Add information for 2 Wikipedia articles

Hi WaddlesJP13!

Please can you add vehicle data information (production years, assembly, car height, car width, car length, car wheelbase and car weight) about these 2 Donkervoort car models like you added for Donkervoort D8 and Donkervoort S7:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkervoort_S8 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkervoort_D10

Thanks A TUZI (talk) 10:32, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@A TUZI: Hello, apparently I've never added any data to the other articles before, and just added categories. However, I still added infoboxes to the pages Donkervoort S8 and Donkervoort D10 for you. Waddles 🗩 🖉 17:24, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Can you add also vehicle andinformation (production years, assembly, car height, car width, car length, car wheelbase and car weight) on Dutch Wikipedia for these 4 models to be on these links: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkervoort_D8 https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkervoort_D10 https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkervoort_S8 https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkervoort_S7

Or ask someone on Dutch Wikipedia to add them. Since Donkervoort is a Dutch car manufacturer and doesn't have information on their Wikipedia language about these models. A TUZI (talk) 12:03, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@A TUZI: I apologize, I won't be able to make the edits or request on the Dutch Wikipedia as I can't read, write, or speak Dutch, and using Google Translate still leaves a risk of me getting things wrong. I don't really contribute much outside of the English Wikipedia and occasionally the Spanish one. I recommend that, assuming you speak Dutch, you should make the request there on the talk pages for the cars. Waddles 🗩 🖉 19:35, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodrigo1198: Unfortunately the Flickr image you sent is copyrighted. When you search for an image on Flickr, you'll want to filter the results by 'Commercial use allowed' to yield images that are free to use on Wikipedia. Let me know if you find a specific image you'd like me to use or if you want me to find one for you. Waddles 🗩 🖉 06:42, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rodrigo1198 (talk) 02:02, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodrigo1198: I apologize, but I'm not entirely sure if I know what you're referring to. If you're asking if you need permission to create a userbox within your own userspace; you do not need permission. But here's the rest of the userboxes:

User:WaddlesJP13/Userbox/Pop music

on a different page like User:Rodrigo1198/Userbox/Dance music then put {{User:Rodrigo1198/Userbox/Pop music}} where you want the userbox to be. Is this what you were looking for help with? Waddles 🗩 🖉 03:55, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Thanks for your comment on my draft article (Draft:Skandra). I included as many non-interview sources as I could find. There are several interviews in there, but the range of material is rich enough. The artist is real and the references I found reflect the best of what's available. Could you approve the article and move it to the article space?

Page mover granted

Hello, WaddlesJP13. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

Wikipedia:Requested moves
Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! — xaosflux ^Talk 15:13, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
