| == Article timing == | |||
| Please give editors who are creating good faith articles time to actually edit the articles. If you add tags to an article, that an editor is actively creating (meaning your tags are added within two minutes or less of their last edit), you might interfere with the editing of the article. This is a way of making newcomers feel their contributions are welcome: not interfering with their contributions as they are trying to make them. I've seen new pages, there is plenty of hopeless, good faith articles can sit around a bit longer, an hour or so after the last edit. This editor has a small contribution history, and is trying to create encyclopedic articles. --] (]) 22:38, 16 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :Thanks for the note. I certainly don't want to scare anyone off, so I appreciate it. Are you talking in particular about the {{tl|Cite web}} template that I added? ] (]) 04:32, 17 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::No, just the timing of the unreferenced tag. You also added a solid category to the article, so I know you're trying to help both the user and the encyclopedia. Can you just wait an hour or so, from their last edit, when dealing with articles by newbie, good faith editors, creating, or trying to create, encyclopedic content? You can usually tell it's worth checking a contributions history by the type of article created, the topic, the writing. --] (]) 05:24, 17 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::I think you moved the web citations, also, which was correct, as it was to the subject of the article. --] (]) 05:28, 17 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
| == NPP ] == | |||
| While articles should not be tagged with no content or context directly after creation, it should also not be marked as patrolled, without addressing the appropriate issues applicable to the article. An article consisting of "wwe" in its entirety should not have been marked as patrolled without an appropriate issue tag. Give the editor due time to establish content before marking as patrolled, then when appropriate, mark and tag. Thanks. ] (]) 08:41, 17 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

Tigray move
Hi, I don't think my message in Talk:Tigray (disambiguation)#Requested move 30 September 2023 was interpreted correctly - this was an argument against the move, and it wasn't addressed or refuted by anyone. Can you revert and relist it instead, please? --Joy (talk) 14:29, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, I think I did, beg pardon. No, I'm not going to relist it, I think the close probably stands. FF to start another request. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:44, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- With so little participation in the original round, adding more bureaucracy is not likely to be helpful... --Joy (talk) 12:46, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages, 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,
