DYK for Super Lemon Haze

On 21 February 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Super Lemon Haze, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Super Lemon Haze is an award-winning cannabis strain that commonly exhibits limonene, an organic compound also found in lemons? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Super Lemon Haze. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Super Lemon Haze), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Cannabis strains

Thanks for creating Super Lemon Haze. If you enjoy creating and improving cannabis-related content, you might be interested in WikiProject Cannabis and the upcoming "420 Collaboration". Either way, happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:35, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: Thanks dude! I'll definitely try to participate! There's just so so much knowledge to share, and Wikipedia is sadly lacking in a lot of good, credible content about Cannabis. It's on us to fix that!! Cheers, § DDima 05:35, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination for deletion of Template:Infobox Ukrainian legislative office/1

Template:Infobox Ukrainian legislative office/1

Hi DDima. I see that Template:Infobox Ukrainian legislative office/1 has been recently nominated for deletion and there is a question of whether it is an old sandbox of yours. If it is, would you like it moved into your user space, or can it be deleted? Your letting us know would help us cut the red tape a bit. Cheers. --Bsherr (talk) 13:47, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

International representation of Donetsk and Luhansk

Hi DDima. What is – according to your opinion – the specific neutrality issue with this article? You should add it into the box, so that I can improve the article. --Derim Hunt (talk) 11:25, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unconventional Request

Hi, DDima! I'm a newish Wikipedian with a somewhat strange personal request for you. I chose your page (along with a handful of others) semi-random from a set of administrators because you seem pretty nice, and also you're from the Chicagoland area, so that might make you slightly more amenable.

In short: I'm a UChicago alum, and when I was there I was heavily involved in the University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt, an absurd five-day long festival of irreverent, ridiculously arcane and obscure competition. Highly recommend the New Yorker article about it if you have the time. This year, it's online, for obvious reasons, and to help former teammates (post-grad life under quarantine is boring) I wanted to take on an item from this year's List: Get an Wikipedia admin to post their support for our team on their talk page by Sunday morning, Chicago time (17 May 2020, up between roughly UTC 13:00 to 17:00). You can view the website here, where there's a link to the List itself. This item is #88, and the team name in question is "BJ Scav 2020: 'Don't We Need a Name' and The Open Poll." Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks. WhinyTheYounger (talk) 19:26, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:14, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a look at the bottom of the page. I see error message in red:

Invalid arguments have been passed to the {{# coordinates:}} function

And the coordinate line at top says:

Coordinates: "N, 37°48'48.607"E 48.019849°N 37.813502°E

This is not normal. This is how normal coordinates look:

Coordinates: 53°54'N 27°34'E

Yours are, like, in deep space, in 4D, too.

I see it in two different browsers, including freshly updated Windows with Microsoft Edge. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:04, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Staszek Lem: Yes, I see that now too. But for me - I can pull up the coordinates and load up a google map image just fine with the coordinates link that I wrote to show up in the title. Dunno about the 4D man.. Let's Just get rid of it altogether! § DDima 04:13, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I see, if I click at coorditates, it does load correct map. I guess we need to ask expert. The thing is, I copied coords from wikidata. Their developmrnty is out of sync. Staszek Lem (talk) 06:25, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Samson Fountain.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Samson Fountain.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Category:Governorates of Ukraine

You seem to have depopulated and deleted Category:Governorates of Ukraine, which included subdivisions of the Ukrainian People’s Republic. What is up with that?  —Michael Z. 13:58, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see the category was depopulated by user:Vladis13, without explanation. —Michael Z. 14:01, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote in the explanation: "renamed and moved to Category:Governorates of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, per C2D, C2C, C2B". It's just that when renaming done by DDima, the explanation was cut off. Thanks. --Vladis13 (talk) 20:07, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
User talk:Vladis13, that doesn’t explain why you did it. These were governorates of both UNR Ukraine and UkrSSR Ukraine: they belong in the previous category. Should be restored. —Michael Z. 21:10, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was in the CSD Category for deletion - I have not been logged in in many months and wanted to resume activity. Regardless, there are no Governorates of "Ukraine," as that is the name of the modern-day state. If you are referring to the UkSSR or UPR (1918), then correct, those did exist, which is why I am assuming that category was moved by the aforementioned user. § DDima 22:30, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course there were governorates of Ukraine. Look in a history book and please don’t indulge in that kind of nationalistic pedantry with the pointed quotation marks: it’s unbecoming. The specific country has been known by this name since the fifteenth century, and appeared on maps by this name since the beginning of the seventeenth. The historical country is known by this name now.
 —Michael Z. 22:59, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm simply advocating for the use of the full historic names for former nation-states if we are to use a category such as "Governorates of Ukraine," as that may in some minds might imply that those governorates belong to the modern nation-state, which they do not. If Wikipedia style changed or was interpreted in other ways since 10 years or so ago, then do what you will with that. This was meant to be a non-controversial cleanup action based upon formatting and style, that's all. § DDima 02:38, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that’s not a bad principal, but it requires category trees for governorates of the Ukrainian People’s Republic and governorates of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, and I believe most or all of these belong in both. What I saw happen was taking “Ukraine,” the country, and turning it into the UkrSSR while wiping out the UNR in one fell swoop. —Michael Z. 03:57, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your talk page

Something about your talk page prevents the [reply] control from working. This could harm accessibility for many editors. Probably a good idea to track that down and fix it. —Michael Z. 21:06, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure, there are many changes that occurred to Wikipedia since I last built this page - I am assuming that some sort of code is preventing that. Thanks, § DDima 22:31, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

File:Raions_of_Donetsk_and_Donetsk_City_Municipality.PNG

DDima, can you explain this old image you created showing the city districts of Donetsk?

File:Raions_of_Donetsk_and_Donetsk_City_Municipality.PNG

I'd came across a question I'd asked on the urban districts of Ukraine page years ago about this image and was told you created it. I'm confused about what it is showing in the white parts. Are those areas within the city municipality but outside of any urban district? I guess I'd always just assumed any city which chose to divide itself into urban raions had to include all territory in a district, and perhaps that was not the case. Criticalthinker (talk) 08:29, 14 January 2024 (UTC) @Criticalthinker: Hey there - the white spots in the map were supposed to show areas that are not under the legal jurisdiction of Donetsk City (i.e. areas that are under control of the district (raion in Ukrainian).. Alas, the legal and jurisdictional situation in 2024 may not even reflect those boundaries anymore so it can be massively outdated. Hope that helps! § DDima 02:36, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
