Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Diplomatic missions in Cameroon

A tag has been placed on Category:Diplomatic missions in Cameroon indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 22:50, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Maillardville-Coquitlam

Hello MPGuy2824. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Maillardville-Coquitlam, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: @Loew Galitz, JalenFolf, WikiOriginal-9, GoingBatty, Egeymi, and MPGuy2824: It would appear to me that this artcicle is about a historical electorate of a similar name to the current BC electorate Coquitlam-Maillardville. Are they one and the same? Evidence, thought scant, would appear to indicate the are not. No prejuduce to expanding Coquitlam-Maillardville#History to include a WP:REDIRECT to Maillardville-Coquitlam Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:22, 13 December 2023 (UTC) . Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:22, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Shirt58: I don't know the answer to your question. I was stub sorting and stumbled across this article, and just fixed the layout. GoingBatty (talk) 18:50, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a mop reserved in your name

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

Hello MPGuy2824, I'd appreciate it if you considered running for RFA. Your contributions are truly valued, and I'm certain many respected administrators would support you with a strong nomination. You have all the qualities needed to excel as an admin. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:45, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd support! 87k edits, 27k edits this year, and a GA. I think the rest of the community would support too. Let me know if you'd like a nomination :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:10, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I legitimately swore to God you were an admin. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (she/they 🎄 🏳️‍⚧️) 21:17, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd support the hell out of this. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:35, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words and support, folks. I have not (seriously) considered a bid for admin rights yet. My off-wiki life is in a lot of flux right now, so an RFA in the near-term is out of the question, even if I felt ready for it. But, I think that I could be ready for one of those optional RFA polls in 6 months time. I might ping some of you for advice on what to read up on in the meantime. Thanks again. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News

  • The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2024 because of the holidays.

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 December. It will be on all wikis from 21 December (calendar). There is no new MediaWiki version next week. [7][8]
  • Starting December 18, it won't be possible to activate Structured Discussions on a user's own talk page using the Beta feature. The Beta feature option remains available for users who want to deactivate Structured Discussions. This is part of Structured Discussions' deprecation work. [9]
  • There will be full support for redirects in the Module namespace. The "Move Page" feature will leave an appropriate redirect behind, and such redirects will be appropriately recognized by the software (e.g. hidden from Special:UnconnectedPages). There will also be support for manual redirects. [10]

Future changes

  • The MediaWiki JavaScript documentation is moving to a new format. During the move, you can read the old docs using version 1.41. Feedback about the new site is welcome on the project talk page.
  • The Wishathon is a new initiative that encourages collaboration across the Wikimedia community to develop solutions for wishes collected through the Community Wishlist Survey. The first community Wishathon will take place from 15–17 March. If you are interested in a project proposal as a user, developer, designer, or product lead, you can register for the event and read more.

Shaik

If there is a page for Sheik, why should there not be a page for Shaik? --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They are the same name but with different spellings in English. I think just one article should do, with the rest redirecting to it. Maybe you can incorporate the other spelling into the article more, since right now it is only mentioned in a single footnote. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 01:27, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NPPTech graphs licensing

Hello MPGuy2824, I hope you are doing well. I'm facing an issue updating the NPP talk header graph since Commons has introduced more licensing options. Could you please assist me in selecting the appropriate license option when uploading graphs on Commons? As one of the maintainers of the NPP Tech tool, you might have licensing information about graphs generated via NPPTech tool. Thanks! – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:49, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Dream, all good here. Hope you are doing fine as well. Regarding your problem: It isn't obvious to me what change has been done to commons, but you don't need to upload there. You can upload directly on the English Wikipedia via this form. I think if you choose "free work > from a free published source", then add the npptech url as the source in the file page, it should be enough. If you think it might be helpful, i could add a CC image somewhere on the graph page in npptech. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:49, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm doing great. It's enough for me, but including a CC image would be helpful for others in the future, allowing them to upload graphs without hesitation. Thanks. – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:00, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Bytexin (05:49, 27 December 2023)

Hey! Sir --Bytexin (talk) 05:49, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bytexin: Welcome to Wikipedia. I've left you a message on your talk page with some links in it. When you get the time, please go through them. I suggest that you start with WP:TWA. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:52, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from FishyGuy77 (19:49, 27 December 2023)

Hello there! I just wanted to ask you how hard it is to expand on a short article. --FishyGuy77 (talk) 19:49, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@FishyGuy77: Welcome to Wikipedia. Ease of expanding a stub article: It depends on the subject and what sort of sources you are able to find about that subject. e.g. for a random small village somewhere in the world, you might never be able to expand it more than a few sentences. What article were you hoping to expand? I'd be happy to do a basic search and tell you if it is worth spending your time on. Alternatively, if you indicate a couple of your interests (geographic or subject), then I could tell you where you might find articles that desperately need expansion. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:42, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Keshavonly (07:57, 28 December 2023)

Can i earn money for editing or publish own blog --Keshavonly (talk) 07:57, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Keshavonly: Hi Keshav. Most editors of Wikipedia are unpaid volunteers. Anyone who is paid to edit is required to follow the guidelines at WP:DISCLOSEPAY. Hope you'll still stick around! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:06, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
