Friday Jan 15: ONLINE Wikipedia Day NYC
| January 15, 6pm: Wikimedia NYC celebrates 20 years of Wikipedia | |
|---|---|
  Wikipedia Day is always a big day for Wikimedia NYC. While we cannot meet in person, we still have something special planned. We will begin the event with the debut of a new video celebrating our community. This will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the people you'll see in the video talking about Wikipedia's 20th anniversary, Wikimedia New York City, and the amazing work they do on Wikimedia projects. The event will be broadcast live via YouTube. Feel free to ask questions for the panel through the chat! We will also have some NYC wiki trivia you can participate in, with confectionery prizes.

Requesting some help
Greetings,
I attempted to create an Event spore about Aurat March @ Wikispore but could not succeed to save because of some technical error "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 415)"
Requesting your help in creating a spore event page for the Aurat March 2021, which I will update indue course when Wikispore server will not give me error message.
Thanks and warm regards
Bookku (talk) 03:17, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
@Pharos: Tested again today; the same error message came again when editing with Visual editor. Actually I find Visual editor easy and that other editing bit complicated but this time at spores the complicated one source editing worked yesterday and today, but visual editor did not work yesterday nor today, same error message I reported above came today also while editing with visual editor @ spores. Many Thanks for your support and warm regards Bookku (talk) 10:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Museum of French Art
On 31 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Museum of French Art, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Museum of French Art once exhibited Napoleon's penis? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Museum of French Art. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Museum of French Art), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Sixth borough
Hi, Pharos. Long time no see. Hope you're doing well. I noticed you made some additions to Sixth borough, some of which was indeed supported by the cited New York Times article (like the "Lower Lower Manhattan" bit), but the mention of T. Kennard Thomson was not, so I reverted it. I tried searching through that NYT article, and couldn't find mention of him, nor was he mentioned anywhere else in the Wikipedia article.

possible identity theft?
@Pharos: I was unable to log into WikiConference:2021/Main Page as User:DavidMCEddy a few minutes ago. I've been "User:DavidMCEddy" since 2010-03-26 in many Wikimedia Foundation projects. I tried to reset my password for WikiConference:User:DavidMCEddy and couldn't. So I registered WikiConference:User:LauraEckenberg. It accepted that.
I'm writing you, because if someone else is actually using WikiConference:User:DavidMCEddy, I would consider it identity theft. It's probably just something silly in the User ID management in WikiConference North America. However, I felt a need to ask about it.
Thanks for all you do to try to increase access to the sum of all human knowledge. DavidMCEddy (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

The system would not let me vote
Per your request, "This is the last day to vote", I reviewed and ranked the 72 candidates I found with statement. In trying to enter my ranks, I could not find some of the candidates on the list. After ranking roughly half of them, I tried to submit my votes. It said I had to log in to vote. I tried to log in using my usual login. It did not accept that. Then it said, "You do not need to be logged in to vote."
If the number of votes seem reasonable and there are few complaints like this, please ignore. Otherwise, I will testify that (a) the voting system was very hard to use, and (b) it seemed not to accept my vote. DavidMCEddy (talk) 01:33, 25 October 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)

Proposed deletion
I think you created this article that I wanted to propose for deletion. Of course, I'm open minded to alternative opinions and will remove the proposed deletion if there is not consensus. What do you think?
You might also notice I deleted some weak newer citations that were added since you created the article some years ago.

Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you.Vizjim (talk) 09:26, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
