Welcome back, Koavf!

I just noticed that you were no longer blocked! You've been missed! Sorry for all of the CSD notices placed on your talk page during your absence but I didn't know if you were going to be returning and you did! I look forward to working with you. Liz Read! Talk! 17:54, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

@Liz: No worries. Happy to see a familiar name. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🩶🖤🤎 ―Justin (koavf)TCM 17:55, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
Oh, if you ever want to stop getting notices about empty categories, just let me know and I will skip them. About a half dozen of the most prolific category creators have asked me to stop notifying them, because they create hundreds of new categories, so I just uncheck the notification box. Other editors want to be alerted in case a category has been emptied "out of process", so just let me know what you would prefer. I probably should have asked you before but better late than never. Liz Read! Talk! 17:58, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

    Thank you kindly: I appreciate all the warm welcomes. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 23:05, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
    to be honest, I had seen your unblock request when you posted it, and I thought some random admin would ask you to rephrase it. You know... "Tell us in your own words why you were blocked..." "What would you do differently if unblocked..." blah blah blah. Thankfully, that didnt happen. See you around :-) —usernamekiran (talk) 23:11, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
    The whole thing was a humbling experience and I need to make sure that I'm being constructive and collaborating. Here's to being better: onwards and upwards. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 23:22, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

  • I'm not familiar with you on here (especially as I'm a new editor) but I learnt about you through your Wikipedia bio. I was puzzled to learn that an experienced editor was blocked. Feels nice to see you've been unblocked. Welcome back!Python Drink (talk) 19:21, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Page not found. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:17, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Yes. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:21, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

It could be archived and picked up by a bot or someone could find the appropriate live URI to replace it. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:25, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
So I should replace my cn template with a broken link template? That isn't a clear improvement.... Newimpartial (talk) 19:27, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
You could, but I've since fixed it. Did you notice that there were two citations and the other is live? ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:29, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Nope, I was only looking at the one. Which, sadly, failed verification. Newimpartial (talk) 19:40, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

A note on a revert

I have reverted one of your pre-block edits to {{Unsigned}}. I wanted to drop a note here to say that I did so only because of an edit request at Template talk:Unsigned IP, not because of any animosity or ill will. It is simple coincidence that you were recently unblocked. Welcome back, and I wish you peaceful editing.

Also pinging JJMC89, whose subsequent template cleanup edit I reverted in order to return the two templates to a simple, consistent state. I recognize that both formats performed the same function, but the shorter, simpler format seemed best. Further discussion on either template's talk page is welcome; please ping me if you start a thread. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:36, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

How kind. Thanks for the note. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 20:48, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Koavf. Welcome back. Your talk page history for some reason disappeared before 10 Sep. Thinker78 (talk) 14:54, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Order of personnel in album articles

Greetings, Koavf! I noticed this recent of yours, at Live at Woodstock (Creedence Clearwater Revival album). WP:ALBUMSTYLE#Personnel says, "It's generally preferable to list the album's personnel in the same order that they are listed on the album packaging..." You might also recall a discussion about this subject -- it was eight years ago, so it's been a while -- at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums/Album article style advice/Archive 1#RfC: Should participants in the personnel section be ordered alphabetically?. I would therefore request that you restore the previous order for the band members and the production personnel for that article, as it did in fact reflect the order found in the album liner notes. And I would respectfully request that you consider refraining in most circumstances from changing personnel sections to be in alphabetical order. Thanks! Mudwater (Talk) 10:50, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 Done Thanks for your kind note. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 17:08, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Wikispecies

I don't know if you noticed, but an admin at Wikispecies was indeffed on en.wiki today. It got me to wondering about how Wikispecies works governance-wise. I know it doesn't have an arbitration committee, so how does a blocked user appeal beyond an unblock request? I poked around and saw that most of the time when Wikispecies admins block a user, they don't even put a block notice on the user's Talk page. The one notice I saw, which was a brief block on an IP's Talk page, didn't have the kind of guidance on appealing en.wiki has, just the how to create an unblock request. From my en.wiki-limited experience, this all seems strange to me. If you could explain how it works, I'd appreciate it.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:17, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

I did not notice that, no. Wikispecies has mostly operated by a bunch of professionals just working in their own domains, so a lot of the kind of politics and drama usually don't come up. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:25, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Fat Dog

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Fat Dog requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Featured picture scheduled for POTD

Hi Koavf,

This is to let you know that File:Nanook of the North.webm, a featured picture you uploaded, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for December 20, 2022. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2022-12-20. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you! Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 15:39, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Nanook of the North is a 1922 American silent film written and directed by Robert J. Flaherty, which depicts the life of an Inuit family. From 1910, Flaherty worked for Sir William Mackenzie searching for mineral deposits along the Hudson Bay for the Canadian Northern Railway, and in 1913 he decided to start filming the lands and people of the area, using a glass-plate still camera and movie camera. He then spent 1914 and 1915 shooting hours of film of Inuit life, but his work was lost in 1916 when he dropped a cigarette onto the original camera negative. After four years of raising money, including from French fur company Revillon Frères, Flaherty returned to filming in 1920–21. As a main character, Flaherty chose the hunter Allakariallak. The film was produced in full collaboration with the Inuit. In 1989, Nanook of the North was among the first group of twenty-five films selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

Captions

With all due respect, don't tell me to add captions to tables or any other policies I don't happen to follow. I personally find table captions distracting and only add them to GAs and FAs, or where there is inconsistency. Furthermore, if you're going to add captions, try to remember to apply them to all tables and not just the ones I recently added. I've been editing seriously on this website since 2018. I obviously know what MOS:TABLECAPTION is by this point. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 23:30, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Revert what you did at the 118th US Congress page, so it'll be consistent with the other US Congress pages. The Senate President & Senate President pro tempore are separate offices.
