Reverts



I'd suggest going through with your report on the user who reverted your edit on the Arado page. I'd also like to suggest you look into BilCat for reverting your edit without proper justification and misuse of his rollback privileges. Same things been happening to me. Being told to discuss your efit and then being told on the discussion your edit isnt justified and wont be allowed only because they dont like it and are lazy. Just my 2 cents. GansMans (talk) 06:13, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

:I didn't use rollbacks to revert him. Sorry to disappoint you, Gans. If you do report me or any other editor, Cohen, I wouldn't recommend calling anyone "lazy", as that may be considered a personal attack ↗. BilCat (talk) 06:23, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

:I've commented on the Ar 234's talk page, and I'll try to work with you on what I can. BilCat (talk) 07:07, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
::Thank you for your advice too; I'll reply on the Ar 234 talk page. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 16:10, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
:Thanks for your advice! I'll bear it in mind. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 16:09, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

How fucking soft are you that lazy is considered a personal attack? Go ahead and report and see what happens. I'm seriously considering taking action over your abuse of privileges because this is getting ridiculous. GansMans (talk) 08:25, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on The Scholars!

Irish Language ↗



Sorry if my revert status was cryptic. I forgot to clarify that both MOS:ITAL ↗ and MOS:BADITALICS ↗ also override the normal rules about italicising foreign-language terms when it comes to proper nouns — presumably since proper nouns cannot technically be loanwords as they are language-independent and it would cause unaesthetic overitalicisation in articles mentioing various organisations and covering concepts culturally disconnected from the English language such as the Irish language ↗ article. Llew Mawr (talk) 14:49, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

:Not at all, and thank you for the correction. There certainly is a lot to learn here. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 15:43, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

July 2023



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi, and thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give :Tolkien and the history of fantasy ↗ a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into :History of fantasy ↗. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move ↗", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history ↗, which is legally required for attribution ↗. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits ↗, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab ↗ at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu ↗ for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect ↗ from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves ↗ to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge ↗. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove --> — Diannaa (talk) 11:44, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

: CohenTheBohemian, I'm very sorry to have put you to any sort of trouble here. I've reverted the article to the state it was in before I touched it, and have put its title back to the original History of fantasy ↗ also; since this is simply a reversion, the history remains intact. I won't edit the article again. Once more, my apologies, and thank you for all the work you do on fantasy. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:11, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
::Thank you for your gracious reply, and thank you for reverting the page - it looks like a complicated task. Please don't feel embarrassed to edit it again, or that I'd oppose you doing so; we are all working together here. And thank you, too, for all the work <em>you</em> do on fantasy - an order of magnitude more than I. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 17:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth ↗



Hi! While doing some new page patrol ↗ I noticed the work you have done expanding The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth ↗ from a redirect into an actual article. You have done a very good job on that article. I'm wondering if you would be interested in nominating it to appear on the main page in the Did you know ↗ section? I think it would be a good candidate. Let me know if you have questions or need help. ~ ''<span style="color:#0cc">ONUnicorn</span>''<sup>(Talk&#124;Contribs ↗)</sup><small>problem solving ↗</small> 17:32, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Reviewed John Company



Hi, CohenTheBohemian, I just added the review to the article. I enjoyed it and think it's good for a DYK, but a bit of work still needed. I'm sorry for the red X marks; that's not me, but the template software; just means that some work is needed, mainly on cites. Have also given a suggestion about slight re-phrase to the hook; I think moving the reference to John Company up in the hook is more effective, but please take a look. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 06:02, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

(I picked this article for a DYK review because of the history/literature, which I do know a bit about, but wasn't familiar with the game board info. Now I'm going to go over to the portal and check it out for old SPI games!) Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 18:03, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I



Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review ↗ is now '''no longer accepting new proposals'''. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA ↗'s structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:


To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals ↗. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ↗ (talk • she/her), via:

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins



Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review ↗ has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

See the project page ↗ for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron ↗ (talk ↗), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
