Considering retirement

Hello all. I'm sure some of you will have noticed that I have placed {{considering retirement}} on my talk page. I have my reasons for this, tho it is nothing that necessarily involves me. Technically it involves everyone editing or viewing Wikipedia. Due to some circumstances regarding the higher-higher-ups (as in beyond admins) I'm not sure if I want to remain an editor on Wikipedia. If I have known you on Wikipedia for a while and you really wish to know more details then let me know here and I will send you an email with the details. I do not wish the details to be shared publicly here on Wikipedia or on the Wikipedia Discord server, or anywhere else involving Wikipedia and the WMF (excluding other Wiki's running on the mediawiki software that are otherwise not associated with the WMF). As the template says, nothing is set in stone at the moment, though it is something I am considering. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update January 6, 2023: Retirement is still something I am considering, however it's more just a thought in the back of my mind that comes up every once in a while. There's not really a template for that so the considering retirement template will stay unless a more appropriate one can be found, as will this section. My thoughts have not changed much, however it's no longer something that's at the forefront of my mind. Maybe I simply just needed a vacation, away from Wikipedia (and most of the internet in general, tho I was still using the internet for things like YouTube and online features in games) which resulted in this update. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:44, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]


That seems a shame. As long as you have been enjoying editing here and as log as you have been abiding by the rules I see no reason for you to allow other people to control your behaviour. Since I have not seen any divergence from the rules it must be that you are not quite enjoying yourself. By all means take a wiki break. I took one for several years. It was meant to be for a few months but I had burned out and lost the fun. For me, the fun is back. I hope it returns for you, too.
I feel a sense of loss, since we have just met, but your staying because I ask would be your allowing me to control you. So stay, for as long as you want, and return when you want if you leave. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:39, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would love for other people to not control my behavior, however I don't really have a choice. If you'd like I will email you more details as said are not something I want public here on Wikipedia. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:41, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you wish to send it I will read it. It is very rare that I respond by email. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:56, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the points you make in your email. I know others have felt those things before. What they have found is that it generally all comes good in the end.
Out of deference to you and in accordance with the rules, I may not reveal, even by my answers, any of the actual points in your email 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:19, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I may choose to reveal them in the future. But for now they remain private via email. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:20, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If I have any advice for you, it is to choose to ignore the things you emailed me about, simply because nor you nor I can affect them. If building the encyclopaedia is enough fun then the rest of whatever it is you sent me can safely be ignored. This is why I concentrate on building the encyclopaedia by reviewing by writing, be improving, by offering article for deletion, etc etc. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 23:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's not something that's easy to do considering how much it can affect me. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 23:43, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you can stay Blaze Wolf. You were the one of the first editors I interacted with at the Teahouse, and you gave me a lift when I was a struggling newbie who didn't even know how to upload an image. If you would like to talk about something, feel free to email or DM me on Discord ‡ The Night Watch ω (talk) 01:12, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blaze Wolf! I saw the considering retirement above, and though I would understand, I hope you get to a place where you can choose to stay. You're a valuable editor on this project and you've been a big help to me, as well as others! Like I said, I would totally understand, but I sincerely hope to see you stay.

I know that retirement may seem like a bad thing, Blaze Wolf, but it may mean a chance to look back at history. Speaking of, the Reverie Battles (that were archived in the Legends: Arceus wiki) were part of the Daybreak update, so I had to include them. - (12546a) 11:13, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Protection?

Let me know if you'd like temporary semi-protection for your page, and if so, for how long. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:06, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For now I'm good. We'll see if the trolls continue to come. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:08, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
we now weather the storm I like Astatine (Talk to me) 17:06, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@OhNoitsJamie: Mind protecting it (or any admin that happens to stop by)? A week should be sufficient for now. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 04:19, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Brainchip

I have made significant changes to the page Draft:Brainchip in adding a number of diverse sources and more detailed information, as well as running the article thorough a plagiarism checker. Do you have any other advice? 66.37.239.34 (talk), 13 January 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.13.189.217 (talk)

Please stop bothering me about this. I don't have any more advice. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 01:25, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is the article ready for acceptance then? 66.37.239.34 (talk), 13 January 2023 (UTC) 68.13.189.217 (talk) 04:13, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know. In cases like these I leave it to more experienced AFC reviewers. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 04:15, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have added the part you have reverted with an inspiration from the text describing the reaction of Western World in the article above. 185.134.138.68 (talk) 22:33, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Shaggy Rogers Clarification on Edits

Genuinely confused about what edit of mine was undone on the page for Shaggy Rogers or what I'd said that was considered non neutral in the first place? Telstar500 (talk) 15:50, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "Supernatural episode". ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:16, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Considering this isn't my opinion and is just an objective fact that the crossover happened in an episode of the show Supernatural and not an episode of Scooby Doo (iirc there wasn't a scooby doo show producing new episodes at the time?) it's a valid change. Telstar500 (talk) 01:17, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ohhhh ok. That was my bad. If you had put the name 'Supernatural" in italics I would've left it since I interpreted that as your desciribing what you thought of the episode and not the show it was a crosssover with. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:12, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2023-03

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

  • The URLs in "prev" links on page history now contain diff=prev&oldid=[revision ID] in place of diff=[revision ID]&oldid=[revision ID]. This is to fix a problem with links pointing to incorrect diffs when history was filtered by a tag. Some user scripts may break as a result of this change. [1]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 January. It will be on all wikis from 19 January (calendar).
  • Some changes to the appearance of talk pages have only been available on Talk: and User talk: namespaces. These will be extended to other talk namespaces, such as Wikipedia talk:. They will continue to be unavailable in non-talk namespaces, including Wikipedia: pages (e.g., at the Village Pump). You can change your preferences (beta feature). [2]
  • On Wikisources, when an image is zoomed or panned in the Page: namespace, the same zoom and pan settings will be remembered for all Page: namespace pages that are linked to a particular Index: namespace page. [3]
  • The Vector 2022 skin will become the default for the English Wikipedia desktop users. The change will take place on January 18 at 15:00 UTC. Learn more.

Future changes

  • The 2023 edition of the Community Wishlist Survey, which invites contributors to make technical proposals and vote for tools and improvements, starts next week on 23 January 2023 at 18:00 UTC. You can start drafting your proposals in the CWS sandbox.

Problem?

Why do you keep erasing a piece of factual information?? Also, how are you an expert in EVERYTHING Wikipedia? Don't you have a job or do you just play video games all day? Ben and Annabelle's mom (talk) 14:59, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do both actually. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:00, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder

Hello, Blaze Wolf,

Just a reminder that User talk pages are not deleted unless there is seriously problematic content on them, like content that violates copyright guidelines, or content that violates our BLP policy. Having random comments on a User talk page doesn't warrant a page deletion. Often times, content can simply be removed from a page and deletion is not called for.

Deletion should be the last resort and is really reserved for content that is unacceptable or that is justifed through one of our deletion processes, like it fits a CSD criteria or is deleted through Proposed deletion or a deletion decision in an AFD. Don't be overly enthusiastic for tagging pages for deletion especially for brand new editors who are not aware of Wikipedia policies and practices and don't understand what a User page is for. Tagging a User page for deletion when the editor has been editing for just a few minutes is a great way of telling them "Go away, we don't want you here!" Try to spend more time welcoming new editors and explaining our policies to them rather than deleting their efforts which might be just misguided and not vandalism. As the old expression says, don't attribute to malice what might actually just come from ignorance. We want and need new editors and you might be the very first experienced editor that a brand new editor encounters. As long as they are editing in good faith, try to make that experience a positive one. Thank you for all that you do here! Liz Read! Talk! 20:31, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I don't usually see editors creating a new user talk page with complete nonsense as constructive but I won't argue. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:35, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template for you :)

Hi Blaze Wolf! I made a userbox for you, feel free to make any changes to it if you want.

Here it is: Template:User likes Blaze Wolf MasterMatt12💬 ● Contributions 19:30, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that. Thanks. I feel quite honored knowing a template was made for me! :) ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:51, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, you deserve it! Who do you think I should do next? You can see the ones I did so far on my Userpage. MasterMatt12💬 ● Contributions 19:52, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SNL

I reverted you because you're too lazy to even bother to check that the new Elvis Costello link that I added to the SNL page worked replacing the original one I added on 6 January that has been deleted from YT. 146.200.202.49 (talk) 16:03, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
