Casey Neistat - again

Hi! There is no source, that is able to publish the numbers of subscriptions on a youtube channel, without taking the numbers from youtube. In that case youtube is a source, that should work. And this source is directly behind my edit, becouse it was there already. In the german Wikipedia this is completely normal... I´m annoyed from your skepticism about me. Why? It´s redicolous. --Karo Fünf (talk) 18:03, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

@Karo Fünf: I don't have anything more to add about this beyond what I've already said. If you still feel that your edit complies with the English Wikipedia policy on verifiability and biographies of living persons policy, then feel free to re-add your edit back to the article. I don't intend to approve any edits on the article myself (as a pending changes reviewer), but I won't revert it either. Another editor will most likely handle any pending changes to the article from here. OhKayeSierra (talk) 03:30, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:LoL Worlds 2019 Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Reply tool

 
Completion rates for comments made with the Reply tool and full-page wikitext editing. Details and limitations are in this report.

The Reply tool is available at most other Wikipedias.

  • The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
  • It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.

Research notes:

  • As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
  • There is preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments that they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[23]
  • The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[24] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
  •   A large A/B test will start soon.[25] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias (not including the English Wikipedia) will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. Editors at those Wikipeedias can still turn it on or off for their own accounts in Special:Preferences.

New discussion tool

 
Screenshot of version 1.0 of the New Discussion Tool prototype.

The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[26] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.

Next: Notifications

 

During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

Closing

I am planning to take your closure to review. It isn't a SNOW and you offer no policy analysis.Casprings (talk) 13:39, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

@Casprings: I replied directly at the move review, but I wanted to add that I really wish you would've actually discussed the matter with me beforehand (which is required by WP:MR, anyway). If you were to go through my talk archives, you would find that I take other editors' feedback seriously and reconsider my actions when someone discusses it with me. I have reversed my RM closures quite a few times after reconsideration, such as at User talk:OhKayeSierra/Archive 5#2020 Open Championship. When I closed this RM, I knew that it would most likely be controversial, and as I said at the MR, I stand by my closure, given how unstable the article title has been. But I'm not necessarily opposed to relisting the RM. Also, my pronouns are she/her.   OhKayeSierra (talk) 14:07, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
One, it isn't required. Two, you literally cited IAR in your close. That close is absent all policy and uses SNOW. I would ask you to revert.Casprings (talk) 14:10, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
It may not be required per se, but it's incredibly poor form not to discuss the matter with the closer beforehand and usually doesn't work out well for the MR if you don't. In any case, had you simply messaged me, I would've been more than happy to reconsider the RM, and spared others from needless dramaz on MR. That being said, I'm willing to revert my closure, given how strongly you and other editors feel about it. OhKayeSierra (talk) 14:18, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
@Casprings: I have reverted my closure and relisted the RM. See diff. OhKayeSierra (talk) 14:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

@Casprings: Please withdraw your move review. If you need help with the process, Wikipedia:Move review/Administrator instructions is a good resource. Thank you, OhKayeSierra (talk) 14:38, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

It's too late now, but for the record: I voted Support in that RM, but I absolutely agreed with OhKayeSierra's decision to close it. There is no chance for this RM to succeed. The move review by Casprings was in good faith, but it's counter-productive. It will only prolong the mess that is this RM. — Chrisahn (talk) 17:43, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Move review for 2021 storming of the United States Capitol

An editor has asked for a Move review of 2021 storming of the United States Capitol. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. Casprings (talk) 13:46, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Move of Weedon railway station

Per WP:UKSTATION "Weedon railway station" is the correct title. SK2242 (talk) 03:49, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

@SK2242: This was a technical move request from WP:RM/TR (diff of request) that I ultimately handled on the understanding that it was a round-robin page move that the OP couldn't otherwise perform on their own. I don't really have an opinion one way or the other about which title it should be moved to, and I'm a bit hesitant to reverse the page move on my own without cause. That being said, you are more than welcome to start an WP:RM on the topic, if you'd like. From the naming convention that you linked to, it seems to me that it would be all but assured of passing as moved. OhKayeSierra (talk) 04:45, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
