Pardi
Please don't edit all my latest additions to Jon Pardi's page. It's all factual OpryFiddle345 (talk) 23:20, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- @OrpyFiddle: Do you have a reliable source backing up your claims? NightWolf1223 23:23, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Jon Pardi sources
Yes, it's on IMDB ,all his TV appearances . All the tours are reliable, just Google it. I'm a Pardi fan. OpryFiddle345 (talk) 23:28, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- @OrpyFiddle345: FYI, IMDB is not reliable per per this link. Can you find a better one? NightWolf1223 23:31, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
I've found all the TV info from either watching it myself or through Google searches. I'm new to Wikipedia. I sent you another message a few mins ago, but I don't think it was officially sent to you? OpryFiddle345 (talk) 00:02, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
I guess I can't message you links... I sent several article links & YouTube clips in this thread to you. But it didn't go through apparently? I don't know all the Wikipedia rules but providing a source to every tour & TV appearance seems repetitive. OpryFiddle345 (talk) 00:04, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
The American Idol, Still the King, Crossroads, Pardi Time content are all on YouTube.
The tour info is presented in Google searches. If I must find every article source, I can. But give me some time lol OpryFiddle345 (talk) 00:07, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- @OrpyFiddle345:I am going to send you to the the teahouse where you can get assistance finding reliable sources. Thanks for your efforts to make Wikipedia a better place. NightWolf1223 00:12, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Thanks!! I appreciate it OpryFiddle345 (talk) 00:46, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:IFlightPlanner
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 Draft:IFlightPlanner, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Hello, NightWolf1223. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 12:30, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Deb: I swear I dont have a connection to the subject of that article. NightWolf1223 13:14, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Glad to hear that. The inclusion of the external link was the main problem. Deb (talk) 13:29, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Deb: FYI, I was leaving that there so I could cite it at some point. Can you please undelete it? It was at the very beginning of reasearch. NightWolf1223 13:58, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Okay, i can do that. Maybe leave a note on the talk page or something, just in case anyone else tries to delete it? Deb (talk) 11:19, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Night Wolf. Thanks for checking, but my edit wasn't accidental. I've taken your advice and explained myself in the Talk page and editing comment. VisitingSamG (talk) 14:29, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Desysop comment
Your !vote at WP:DESYSOP2021 was reverted by Chicdat for being in the wrong location. Since this was a manual revert and not an "undo" action, I wanted to let you know as you likely did not receive a ping about it. You are of course welcome to re-add your comment, but please make sure it ends up in the correct section so this sort of thing doesn't happen again. Primefac (talk) 12:34, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- Note that as well as this, the user added the !vote to support in addition to this. It was confusing to me. See his/her Support #165. 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me! 12:35, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- OK @Primefac:, Thanks for letting me know. NightWolf1223 13:26, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

News from around the site
- We have a bit of a backlog of good article nominations. Please help improve these articles by reviewing one if you have time. Instructions here.
- WP:URFA/2020 is reviewing and updating FAs that were promoted long ago. Several medicine-related FAs are on the list. Noting current work below. Feel free to jump in and help wherever you're interested:
- Acute myeloid leukemia (promoted in 2006) is getting a thorough update led by Tom (LT) and Spicy. Help is welcome.
- Influenza (promoted in 2006) was updated by Velayinosu and is awaiting review.
- Lung cancer (promoted in 2007) was updated by Axl, Graham Beards, and JenOttawa in preparation for a now-aborted run as WP:TFA.
- Autism (2007 promotion) and Major depressive disorder (2008 promotion) have requests for featured article reviews on their talk pages.
- I believe the oldest unreviewed medicine-related FAs are Michael Woodruff (2006 promotion), Bacteria (2006 promotion), and Coeliac disease (2008 promotion). These are likely to receive some attention soon.

Recent changes
If your wiki uses markup like <div class="mw-content-ltr">or<div class="mw-content-rtl">without the requireddirattribute, then these will no longer work in 2 weeks. There is a short-term fix that can be added to your local wiki's Common.css page, which is explained at T287701. From now on, all usages should include the full attributes, for example:<div class="mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr" lang="en">or<div class="mw-content-rtl" dir="rtl" lang="he">. This also applies to some other HTML tags, such asspanorcode. You can find existing examples on your wiki that need to be updated, using the instructions at T287701.- Reminder: Wikimedia has migrated to the Libera Chat IRC network, from the old Freenode network. Local documentation should be updated.
Problems
- Last week, all wikis had slow access or no access for 30 minutes. There was a problem with generating dynamic lists of articles on the Russian Wikinews, due to the bulk import of 200,000+ new articles over 3 days, which led to database problems. The problematic feature has been disabled on that wiki and developers are discussing if it can be fixed properly. [1][2]
Changes later this week
- When adding links to a page using VisualEditor or the 2017 wikitext editor, disambiguation pages will now only appear at the bottom of search results. This is because users do not often want to link to disambiguation pages. [3]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 August. It will be on all wikis from 5 August (calendar).
Future changes
- The team of the Wikipedia app for Android is working on communication in the app. The developers are working on how to talk to other editors and get notifications. You can read more. They are looking for users who want to test the plans. Any editor who has an Android phone and is willing to download the app can do this.
- The Beta Feature for Discussion tools will be updated in the coming weeks. You will be able to subscribe to individual sections on a talk page at more wikis. You can test this now by adding
?dtenable=1to the end of the talk page's URL (example).
