Your GA nomination of Operation Chastity

The article Operation Chastity you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Operation Chastity for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

ํYou reverted my change on Locmariaquer

The redirection of Le Grand Menhir Brise is absurd. Let me see if I got this straight

(1) You realize that the redirection is wrong. (2) You, unlike myself, know how to fix the problem. (All I could do was leave a note so that a more cognizant Wiki editor could fix it.) (3) Rather than fixing the problem, you chose to REMOVE the note appealing for a cognizant editor to fix it. Is that about right?  :-) Jamesdowallen (talk) 03:37, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately, James, you haven't got it straight. What actually happened was:

(1) You realised the redirection was wrong.

(2) In an attempt to help you made an edit that didn't help.

(3) I fixed your mistake and also fixed the original problem (by redirecting Grand menhir brisé to Locmariaquer megaliths, instead of Locmariaquer).

(4) I let you know I'd fixed the problem on Talk:Locmariaquer, which BTW is the place to discuss problems with an article, not my user page.

Also, I understand your frustration with the complexities of Wikipedia, but insulting people who are just trying to help isn't going to fix any problems. When you see something on Wikipedia is wrong and you don't know what to do about it, the thing is to ask for help at WP:Q. Please discuss any further problems with the article at Talk:Locmariaquer or Talk:Locmariaquer megaliths. Thanks and I hope that helps clear up the confusion. --Shimbo (talk) 04:25, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, Shimbo. I did miss your comment on the talk page; sorry. (You might have hinted that you'd fixed the problem in your Reversion.) And I do take exception to "In an attempt to help you made an edit that didn't help." In fact my Edit DID help -- it induced you to fix the problem. Thanks again! I have enough experience at Wikipedia to know that adding a note to a page, as I did, is MUCH MUCH more likely to lead to a fix than any comment on the Talk page.

Add a Fact survey and thank you

Thank you for testing out the Add A Fact browser extension! This extension was developed as an experiment by the Future Audiences team at the Wikimedia Foundation to learn about new ways of contributing to Wikipedia from outside of our website/apps.

We are planning to wrap up this experiment this December, sunsetting the extension and publishing our findings on-wiki. We’d like to invite you to take part in an exit survey to tell us more about your experience of trying out the extension, and to share any ideas you have about how to support new ways of contributing to Wikipedia. The survey is anonymous (see the survey privacy statement) and should take about 10–15 minutes to complete.

You can take the Goole Forms survey here.

Kind regards, MPinchuk (WMF)
