I have reflecting on my edits and I have now realised, thanks to you that my edits were not good enough for Wikipedia and I want to make amends. I am proposing a Amend plan. For every edit l did wrong, I do another good edit to compensate for that wrongful edit. I propose you and me work together so I can make amends. For example, you can recommend me an article to check over and I can check over it to the best of my ability and if there, for example, a minor spelling error, I could fix it, bringing me one step closer to make amends on Wikipedia, Thanks for reading this.

@Supelrand: Mmh, not sure, but you could just take any random page (same link is also available on the sidebar as "Random article"). Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 14:58, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure you're fine, I'm the person who did a unsourced claim, I apologize. Sorry. This chat is by 2012An(4thwm1) (talk) 11:26, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not be sexist by claiming that a claim that is objective, well-known, and supported by the the premise of the model is not neutral. 2A02:A03F:852E:2F01:7946:4AA5:E89C:9BF0 (talk) 18:53, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide an alternative wording you would "like" that provides a clear and immediate message that the model is harmful. 2A02:A03F:852E:2F01:7946:4AA5:E89C:9BF0 (talk) 19:01, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

		The Categorisation Barnstar
		For your valiant efforts at WP:CFDWM. It is both noticed and very much appreciated :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 15:58, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HouseBlaster: (Sorry about the delayed reply.) That's very kind of you, thank you (also for your patient assistance)! Hopefully, this recognition will not turn out to have been regrettably premature, but I do appreciate it and intend to help out there more often from now on :) Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 00:12, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Would you be interested in pursuing an FLC for the upcoming wikicup? In preparation for the 2025 cup I've been slowly building up a body of work to try and win. For featured content you are only allowed one solo nomination and a co-nom. So any intrest? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant: Hi, just wanted to let you know that I've seen your message and am open to it, but I will get back to you with a proper answer within the next few days. Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 23:37, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Felida97 -- Just a quick note to say that when you reverted the IP's edits on the above you inadvertently restored an unsourced BLP violation that the IP editor had correctly removed. While linking to a draft obviously isn't permitted, listing the unlinked name -- given that the draft has sources that appear valid -- appears acceptable, so I've restored it. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 23:18, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Espresso Addict: Yes, sorry, my mistake (not sure why I didn't notice that since I usually do; probably a sign that I should go to bed now), thank you for correcting my mistake and fixing the IP's edits! Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 23:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a article on the Estonian Wikipedia which doesn't have an English translation. In essence,no English language version exists of it, I want to change that by creating an English language version translated from Estonian. What should I do exactly in order to get it done. I already asked on the article's talk page but only received an bot response so far. Thanks Supelrand (talk) 15:34, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also understand you are busy and we haven't talked recently. If you could advise me, that would be great Supelrand (talk) 15:35, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Supelrand: Hi, you are talking about the article et:Valgatabalve, right? In general, you can find information on translating non-English articles into English here: Help:Translation. Given that there currently is no English article (I have checked that as well), you would follow the process detailed at Help:Your first article to create one (this is the same as for any other new article, but in this case, you additionally have to pay attention to the things mentioned on the Help:Translation page). I would suggest that you read those two help pages in full first and then go to the section Help:Your first article#Where to start writing again to create a draft (so a page in the Draft namespace like Draft:Example, just with "Valgatabalve" instead of "Example") using the so-called Article Wizard. (Let me know when you have started the draft, so I can put it on my watchlist.)

Boiled down, the road to creating an English-language version of this article has basically two steps/stages:

1. As just mentioned, if you follow the process at Help:Your first article, you will create a draft at one point using the so-called Article Wizard. The purpose of this draft is to develop the article before it becomes a mainspace article, and you can spend as much time as you want on this draft (also, the fact that I advise you should not create any pressure for you in this regard; I'm fine with any outcome on any timeline that suits you; from my side, you can do it within the next few weeks, but you can also take way longer, only start a year from now, or abandon the project entirely).
2. Once you think you are done with your draft, you will submit it for review, which will be done by an experienced editor (though not me), who will review it and either a) move it to the mainspace or b) give you informative feedback on how the draft needs to be improved (after addressing their concerns, you could then re-submit the draft).

While the topic of this article is far away from any area of interest or expertise of mine (I also speak neither Estonian nor any closely related other language), so I'm not necessarily well-suited to help with the content, I can certainly assist you with everything else (style, formatting, language, etc.). To that end, I would ask you to notify me before taking step 2 (submitting the draft for review), so I can take a look at it and give feedback to make sure that the draft is in a state where I'd consider it ready for the formal review as well. Of course, you can also ask me before that or at any other point (although it's quite unlikely that I'll answer as quickly as I did today). Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 23:47, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct, I am doing Valgatabalve, I am going to read over the guides for doing it then consult my language knowledge and resources then get working, I will let you know as soon as a draft exists. Supelrand (talk) 11:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have translated most of the article and will put it to a draft and add the foreign language sources to it. Supelrand (talk) 11:59, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have completed the initial translation and will review it and get the sources and images ready for the draft, once I have made a draft, I will inform you, I also found in the initial translation several Russian and potentially a couple of Latvian words or mixed Estonian-Latvian since Valgatabalve was for several millenia mixed between Slavs, Balts and Finns. I will reach out to someone on the Russian and Latvian Wikipedias so they can check the words over and write it properly but for now, I had just typed the words as the closest English letter corresponding to the Russian letters, eg. (N (Russian letter looking very close to English letter N, I have put it as n). I will inform you once the draft is up. Hope to talk soon Supelrand (talk) 12:43, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do I create an draft on mobile again, I can't seem to get it to work when I get it via the guides, can you remind me on how to do it Supelrand (talk) 14:37, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Supelrand: I don't really use the mobile app/website to edit/create articles, so I'm not sure (and I personally wouldn't do it on mobile), but if you really want to, here's the mobile site for the Article Wizard: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_wizard. Maybe that will work for you. 20:49, 27 November 2024 (UTC) Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 20:49, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
