Hi there! I hope this message finds you well. I'd like extend an invitation to you to join the upcoming Wikimedia LGBT+ online Community Meeting. We will be discussing, among other topics, the 2025 edition of the Wiki Loves Pride global campaign and how to collaborate better across languages on queer-related articles. You can register and find more information about it on: meta:WMLGBT Community Meeting April 2025.--Freddy eduardo (talk) 14:53, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That needs to be cited in the article, not on the talk page of an editor who challenges content. See WP:BURDEN. JeffSpaceman (talk) 22:46, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

	Contributor to the Legacy of Saturn
	Thank you for the rollback on the Saturn Corporation Wikipedia page :) I do not know what the person who you rolled back was trying to do, nor am I experienced enough to discern as much. If you have insight, please tell me, it may be a change I would like to implement :) TheSaturnLover (talk) 16:31, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert edit of the article James E. Williams got accidentally reverted by me. I'm not exactly sure what happened but I reverted my revert so everything is back like you intended. I agree with your revert because the original edit was not sourced. Sorry, I probably fat fingered something... Cuprum17 (talk) 22:03, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

This isn't a warning or anything and I made the same mistake, but your reverts at National Public School, Banashankari were restoring vandalism and BLP violations. We all need to make sure that we're checking what we're restoring without just seeing a chunk of text being removed and assuming it was disruptive.

Thank you for the heads up. I'm sorry for any inconvenience I caused -- I try to take particular care when adding or restoring information about living people, but I think I must have been thrown off by the fact that the article itself is not a BLP. Once again, I appreciate your raising this matter here, and I will make a point to be more careful going forward. JeffSpaceman (talk) 15:05, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Like I said, I made the same mistake, but we can't improve if we're not given the heads up when we made a mistake. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:11, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you removed category of neo-Nazi politics in USA from Kanye West's views.

I think this doesn't make sense, because the rapper in question literally called himself a Nazi and recently made a song glorifying Hitler.

Why should the category go when Ye's views fall squarely in there? HarlambiDaabrev (talk) 14:15, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my comments at Talk:Kanye West#Why do we not add the “American neo-Nazis” category? and Talk:Views of Kanye West#Addition of contentious categories for explanations. Per WP:BLP, strong consensus is required for the inclusion of such categories, and the burden is on those seeking it to establish it. With content about living people being as sensitive on Wikipedia as it is, this requires exceptional sourcing, and there is a rough consensus at the Kanye West talk page that West's self-identification is insufficient to meet the criteria of WP:ABOUTSELF, and most reliable sources that can be found describe him as a "self-proclaimed Nazi" as opposed to one outright, which is where a lot of arguments for the inclusion of these types of categories ultimately fall apart. If you would like to discuss this further, feel free to start a discussion on the talk pages of Kanye West and/or Views of Kanye West (here and here, respectively), but I feel pretty set in my ways about this argument, which has come up time and again ever since he made his initial comments, and to be honest, I don't see that changing any time soon. Do start discussion at either page if you feel like doing so, though -- consensus could very well swing to your side sooner or later, regardless of what I have to say.
