Movements for the annexation of Canada to USA



Movements for the annexation of Canada to the United States: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia ↗

So, I noticed that you removed some sourced content without a proper edit summary, could you tell me about the reasons for its removal? Meanwhile, I've added it back. Theofunny (talk) 18:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

:@Theofunny Totally irrelevant and unnecessary bloat. That article has enough of it already. Kaotao (talk) 22:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
:@Theofunny Just noticed the bottom edit, you were right to fix that. Kaotao (talk) 22:10, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Nomination of :2024–2025 proposals for Canadian annexation to the United States ↗ for deletion


<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">48px|alt=|link= ↗</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article :2024–2025 proposals for Canadian annexation to the United States ↗, to which you have significantly contributed ↗, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗ or if it should be deleted ↗.

The discussion will take place at '''Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2024–2025 proposals for Canadian annexation to the United States ↗''' until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Lishogi ↗ moved to draftspace



Thanks for your contributions to Lishogi ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability'''.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:48, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, I've moved this back into the draft space, as there is no evidence that the subject is notable ↗. We need to see 3+ sources that meet the WP:GNG ↗ standard for notability. None of the ones cited here does that. Please add more and better sources, and when you've done that, you can submit this for pre-publication review through the AfC process. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:50, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
::There are multiple article space stubs with only primary source citations. Lishogi already has a lengthy Japanese article, so I believe it exceeds those stubs in notability. Kaotao (talk) 12:06, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 20



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cheating in online chess ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zoom ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:54, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

A-class


WP:ECR ↗ issues aside, Israel ↗ does not presently meet the A-class requirements ↗ to my eye: the easiest indication of that is there are outstanding maintenance tags (e.g. the {{tlx|better source needed}} tag in the § Language section).

In general, A-class is not determined by a single editor on a whim, and at a bare minimum I would consider becoming familiar with the less stringent Good article ↗ process beforehand. Cheers. <span style="border-radius:2px;padding:3px;background:#1E816F"><span style="color:#fff">'''Remsense'''</span><span style="color:#fff">&nbsp;‥&nbsp;</span><span lang="zh" style="color:#fff">'''论'''</span></span> 00:27, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

:B-class? At least? It's good stuff, as previously stated. Kaotao (talk) 00:34, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
::Tip: I personally only rate articles stub, start, or C. I leave higher ratings such as B, GA, A, and FA to WikiProjects and the respective processes, because those ratings often have extra criteria. –<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span> <small>(talk)</small> 13:35, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
:::The criteria for B-class seem deliberately lenient, though. It's looks like the "it's getting there" rank. Kaotao (talk) 13:37, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello friend



Your edit summary at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_executive_orders_in_the_second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump&diff=prev&oldid=1271067451 ↗ was a red flag for the type of editor that is usually quite problematic, and caused me to check your edit history. But now that I've figured out it's a joke, I definitely laughed a bit. Nice one :) On-wiki can be a bit serious sometimes... have you considered joining us on WP:DISCORD ↗? Your sense of humor should be well appreciated there. –<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span> <small>(talk)</small> 13:38, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

:Thanks for the offer, but I don't have Discord. Thank you for your service! Kaotao (talk) 13:57, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Soviet Union



"which it could then deprive from the United States" -- this doesn't make sense. What did you have in mind here? What does the source say? Bruce leverett (talk) 21:05, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

:@Bruce leverett You're right, it doesn't. That was thoughtless of me. Kaotao (talk) 21:41, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Canadian Annexation



Hi @Kaotao I replied to a thread you created on Movements for the annexation of Canada to the United States ↗ and would like your opinion to my proposal. Knowledgework69 (talk) 19:13, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Minor edits



Minor edits ↗ are defined as uncontroversial edits, such as fixing typos, or reverting obvious vandalism. Please don't mark edits as minor if they change content. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 23:03, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

:Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. Kaotao (talk) 00:11, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

February 2025



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at :Mass deportation of illegal immigrants in the second presidency of Donald Trump ↗. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism ↗ and have been reverted ↗. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges ↗. ''This edit summary ↗ is obviously incorrect.''<!-- Template:uw-vandalism2 --> Drmies (talk) 13:03, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

:Your explanation for deleting two point five kilobytes of content was "soibangla, I believe you are correct and have removed what seemed like a very cherry-picked and not very neutral collection of data to me." and, "selected set of facts, not neutrally written, cherrypicking of data--in an article on Trump". I do not see any examples. Most of soibangla's concerns, in the existent discussion we were having, were already addressed in the section you deleted. Kaotao (talk) 21:44, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

Standard notice for all editors in the area of sex and gender




{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'', you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template.
