Wow you changed your name! Greetings from Colombia. → Call me Razr Nation 06:40, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Yes, I did. I'm also not around here that much any more, as other hobbies (mainly TTRPGs) take up most of my time. Good to see you're doing alright! The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:34, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Miller Center has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:07, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Eleven years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. (sorry, missed it last year due to the name change) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:08, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:XCOM Enemy Unknown, illustration of the strategy UI.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:01, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bravo on completing whatever set Weberbauerella raimondiana was a part of. jengod (talk) 19:48, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Jengod. I'm an admin over on Commons and someone nominated an image from an open access journal for deletion, not realizing it was correctly freely licensed, and that's how I discovered that there's a trove of freely licensed plant photos available. I've been uploading images from other articles in that journal whenever I have time. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 19:59, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Niiiice. Finding a good source opens up so many possibilities sometimes. Anyway thanks again and congrats. jengod (talk) 20:03, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Squirrel Conspiracy, Yesterday, you blocked my Wikimedia Commons account without any specifics or rationale. Perhaps there's a reason there, but all that's written is "Spamming".

As a linguistics researcher, involved in language development for over 85 different micro-languages, I take that quite personally. Can you go into some detail regarding what was consider spam? Andrew J Olson (talk) 18:46, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at your edits, it appeared to me that you were attempting to funnel traffic to websites you own, such as theyneedthebible.blogspot.com, through the inappropriate use of external links, and you were using your Commons uploads as part of that attempt. If you disagree with this assessment, you can request an unblock on your Commons user talk page. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 00:32, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya, I am new to wikipedia and I am interested in improving an article, Bali Aga. However, it is being continually harassed by sockpuppets of the user YilevBot, and you recently rolled back the article to remove their additions of copyvio images. Their (checkuser confirmed) sockpuppets recently readded images that are most likely copyvio, but I don't have any defininitive proof of them being copyvio and would like to know if I need proof to revert the edits, as well as what would constitute reasonable proof if necessary.

Also in general, many of the sockpuppet's low quality and misinformed contributions get through on that page. I think they harm the article greatly, but I do not want to contribute to an edit war reverting them. What do you think is reasonable for me to do as a new user to deal with this issue?

Thank you very much for your service to Wikipedia. After looking through your user contributions, I find it very reassuring that people like you are here to help maintain Wikipedia, and keep it in line with its purpose. 似た牌愛魔 (talk) 15:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI that you can change what templates like {{user and pronouns}} show by changing the "Gender used in messages" option in Special:Preferences. Cheers Charlotte (Queen of Hearts • talk) 21:34, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I went looking and missed it. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 23:48, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator Elections | Instructions for candidates

Thank you for choosing to run in the October 2024 administrator elections. This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• October 15–21: SecurePoll setup phase
• October 22–24: Discussion phase
• October 25–31: SecurePoll voting phase
• November 1–?: Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase.

The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a request for adminship (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RfA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("'crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation as a candidate, and best of luck.

You're receiving this message because you are a candidate in the October 2024 administrator elections.

Hello there. As we're preparing to move from one stage to the next, this is just a quick note from one member of the test group to another, wishing you well in the process of this new alternative to RfA. It seems that there are more of us in this group than some in the community anticipated, so i hope that doesn't make the experience any the worse for all of us. Whatever our individual results, i thank you, along with the rest, for stepping up and testing this process; happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 07:16, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All the best with your candidacy for adminship. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 13:38, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
