25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Jolielover. I noticed that you recently removed content ↗ from :Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents ↗&nbsp;without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary ↗. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page ↗. The edit summary 'fix' did not adequately explain why you removed 227,000 bytes, so in the future, please add an appropriate edit summary. I assume this was an accidental removal?<!-- Template:uw-delete1 --> <b style="font-family:helvetica;color:#7C0A02">jolielover♥</b><b style="font-family:helvetica;border:transparent;padding:0 9px;background:linear-gradient(#8B0000,black);color:#ff8c8c;border-radius:6px">talk</b> 10:18, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

:No, this was a purposeful (and somewhat WP:BOLD ↗) transfer of content to Wikipedia:Possible off-wiki canvassing by User:Larry Sanger ↗ on the advice of a few editors and my own intuition. @Jolielover — <span style="background:black; color:white; padding:2px;">'''Knightof'''</span><span style="background:#70c6ff; color:white; padding:2px;">'''theswords'''</span> 10:19, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
::Yeah... just came back to drop my head in shame. Though I disagree with it being moved to a new page, I do now see what you were doing. Apologies. <b style="font-family:helvetica;color:#7C0A02">jolielover♥</b><b style="font-family:helvetica;border:transparent;padding:0 9px;background:linear-gradient(#8B0000,black);color:#ff8c8c;border-radius:6px">talk</b> 10:21, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
:::But I still think the move is quite bold and there doesn't seem to be consensus for it, at least from Wikipedia:Possible_off-wiki_canvassing_by_User:Larry_Sanger#Move_this_discussion_to_its_own_page? ↗. Only 4 people who participated in this discussion. <b style="font-family:helvetica;color:#7C0A02">jolielover♥</b><b style="font-family:helvetica;border:transparent;padding:0 9px;background:linear-gradient(#8B0000,black);color:#ff8c8c;border-radius:6px">talk</b> 10:23, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
::::Given the gravitas and potential precedent of this situation, I think this discussion should be moved into its own subsection for future reference, in addition to the concerns expressed by the users above. I'm restoring the removal on ANI, but if there's enough contestations of the decision, I'm fine with it going back onto ANI. @Jolielover — <span style="background:black; color:white; padding:2px;">'''Knightof'''</span><span style="background:#70c6ff; color:white; padding:2px;">'''theswords'''</span> 10:26, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

BRD has happened. Please don’t let this turn into an edit war. Morwen (talk) 10:29, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

:Following up here. @Knightoftheswords281, it looks like the move has worked out, but doing it BOLDly is exactly what I avoided by opening the discussion. Consensus has basically been established now, but in the reverse order. The proposal I started should have been given longer, especially for something of this magnitude. That being said, I respect that you went ahead and did it regardless. (By the way for future reference, the sub-page should have included "AN/I" in full after "Wikipedia:". See this ↗.) <span style="color:#8C6A31; ">11WB</span> (talk) 14:15, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
::"Consensus has basically been established now"
::I don't think it is very strong ↗, and don't respect that any of this went ahead. Selbstporträt (talk) 14:47, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I was referring to the still open MfD. <span style="color:#8C6A31; ">11WB</span> (talk) 14:50, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
::::To refer to a still open MfD as "basically established" seems unorthodox.
::::Enough of that. I've made myself clear enough. Selbstporträt (talk) 14:52, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :March 1988 in the Troubles ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
Thank you.<!-- User:Zackmann08/uw/Unknown-params-warning --> '''<span style="color:#00d5ff !important">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94 !important">mann</span>''' (<sup>Talk to me ↗</sup>/<sub><span style="color:orange !important">What I been doing</span> ↗</sub>) 14:22, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

:I deleted the redirect under criteria WP:G10 ↗ as an attack page. Do not create links that attack or disparage people. And if you try any more procedural funny business with the Sanger ANI you're getting blocked till its over. <b style="color:#6a1f7f">CaptainEek</b> <sup><i style="font-size:82%; color:#a479e5">Edits Ho Cap'n!</i></sup>⚓ ↗ 20:26, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
::Created that per WP:FRAMGATE ↗, but I realize that only was created a week later ↗, so yeah, prolly would have supported that. Somewhat irked by the block threat, but it's clear that the move process was a bit of a mess, so I apologize. — <span style="background:black; color:white; padding:2px;">'''Knightof'''</span><span style="background:#70c6ff; color:white; padding:2px;">'''theswords'''</span> 21:26, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
:::Blocking would not be appropriate as the page split did eventually gain consensus at MfD, @CaptainEek. I will say though, that BOLDly moving it from a large noticeboard before the proposal discussion had finished, was what caused most of the disruption and really should have been handled by somebody with technical experience. It's all done now though, so it ultimately worked out. <span style="color:#8C6A31; ">11WB</span> (talk) 06:23, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

You've been trouted.

Thanks for your contributions to Gabi Moura ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability'''.
I have converted it 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 the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. <span style="background:#FF0;font-family:Rockwell Extra Bold"><u style="color:#00F">Laun</u><u style="color:#00F">chba</u><u style="color:#00F">ller</u> ↗</span> 07:35, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
