You have been trouted for: using a wildly out of date and never particularly accepted transliteration system here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation_Vistula&diff=1331890374&oldid=1330940940 ↗—blindlynx ↗ 01:27, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

Your "Madagascar" article edit
@Duckmather, I undid your revision of the "Madagascar" article because I had earlier placed a Guild of Copy Editors in Use notification at the top of it, as GOCE editors do when we're engaged in a requested copy edit of articles. The notification should help prevent exactly what happened in your case: that another editor comes along and makes an edit. It's really disruptive for us as we work on these requests.
Please wait till you no longer see the notification any more, then go ahead with any edits you'd like to make, including the one I undid. Augnablik (talk) 09:54, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :File:Quentin Deranque.jpg ↗
48px|left|alt=|link= ↗
A tag has been placed on :File:Quentin Deranque.jpg ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because it is a non-free file ↗ from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press ↗, Getty Images ↗), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines ↗, please add the appropriate non-free use tag ↗ and rationale.
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 ↗. <!-- Template:Db-badfairuse-notice --> -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:58, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

A trout from the Inland Northwest!

I'm not sure that redirecting KHQ ↗ to Cowles Company#KHQ, Incorporated ↗ was the right call, and I'd like to ask you to reconsider. There were still 22 links to the redirect in article space, and 21 of them were wanting KHQ-TV ↗. (The 22nd wanted a radio station that used to be KHQ and to which the Cowles article does not even link, somehow.) I had to fix all of them to preserve the correct target. The primary topic for KHQ isn't the company division, it's the television station that it takes its name from. Since I see you're doing work on three-letter broadcasting call sign disambiguations, feel free to contact me if you have questions. <span style="color:#ba4168">Sammi Brie</span> (she/her · t · c ↗) 06:45, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
Disambiguation pages
Hi,
I have a suggestion. Maybe when you create disambiguation pages for places not solely in China, it might be helpful to not put it in Chinese, as it might give the impression that the schools in other countries are Chinese schools or similar.

Pegin ↗ moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Pegin ↗, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable ↗, independent sources ↗. <small>(? ↗)</small> Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability ↗ is of central importance ↗ on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace ↗ (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline ↗ and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Note on deadnaming
Per MOS:DEADNAME ↗, {{tq|In source citations, do not remove names of authors or references to former names in titles of works}}.
I ended up mooting the issue anyway by realizing that every single place in which Brooke Vibber was being cited was inappropriate use of primary sources to make a navel-gazing claim and removing it, but you should note for the future. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">in solidarity</sub> ↗ 23:56, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
