Invitation to participate in a research

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

Rekom UK

Wikipedia is not being used as a directory however the locations of the company are being listed for reference purposes and should NOT have been removed. 2A02:C7C:70CF:4B00:D83B:AF8B:9EDE:CB62 (talk) 13:03, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

"locations of the company are being listed for reference purposes" is precisely what Wikipedia is not: we are not a directory. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 14:02, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

WP:PULLQUOTE

Re: your recent deletion, this is quoting a source at length, while a WP:PULLQUOTE is repeating the article itself for emphasis. You can object to the quote on other grounds (NPOV, UNDUE, etc), but IMHO it's a compact and accurate summary of a common viewpoint. Jpatokal (talk) 22:30, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

The thrust of the policy is the choice to highlight one source as "a compact and accurate summary of a common viewpoint" is itself an NPOV/UNDUE determination. Just let the article's text and sources speak for themselves; we don't need to cherrypick and highlight. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 23:24, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Trumpism

In a description of Trumpism you described my edit as not having a neutral point of view. I cited Trump's own words, his inaugural address, as annotated by the New Youk Times. How is that not neutral? Cromwell88 (talk) 03:05, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

If you think the properly-sourced descriptions at that arrticle aren't appropriate, then you should take it up on the talk page there. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 03:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Disruptive

Could you explain me where is the "unhelpful" in this edit? thanks. Fma12 (talk) 00:04, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

By the way, adding the team name on a page is not an "unhelpful" edit such as you stated on the edit summary. I've been recently doing lot of edits on NCAA teams, all of them in good faith. But if you disagree with some of the changes made you just talk me and we can discuss it. But reverting arbitrarily with no further reason is totally disruptive from your part.Fma12 (talk) 00:24, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
