You are world famous!

A quote from Foreign Policy magazine from China and Japan's Misplaced Pages War: Some editors supported changing the article's name to "Pinnacle Islands" -- the English-language name for the island chain used in the 19th century -- to mitigate concerns about article bias. This attempt at a compromise was quickly shot down, even as the talk page rhetoric heated up. "These pro-Japanese editors just a bunch of bully boys and hooligans!" an editor named STSC vented. (The wikilink to the talk page discussion where you made the comment was included in the article at the exact same way here, as a hyperlink.) This is amazing! :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 22:25, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

For your comments on Talk:Chairman. It's amazing how everyone can link to COMMONNAME and not notice that paragraph you pointed out. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 04:06, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

New WikiProject Socialism membership system

Hello! I'm in the process of introducing a new membership system to WikiProject Socialism (designed as part of WikiProject X and adopted by a few other projects). The new system works by filling a form which creates a WikiProject Card. I'm manually creating WikiProject cards for current members. You can find and edit yours here. Any change to your WikiProject card will be automaticalle updated at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Socialism/Members. If you have any doubt, please, feel free to contact me by replying here using the {{re}} template. Best, --MarioGom (talk) 14:47, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Organized labour project

Thank you for earlier joining the Organized Labour project. I've been a participant in the project since 2006 and am helping with a revival of it. As part this we are introducing a new membership system, which will help with communications among participants. This involves creating a membership file for each participant within your user space (you can see an example of my membership card here: User:Goldsztajn/WikiProjectCards/WikiProject Organized Labour). This system is already in operation within a number of wikiprojects (such as Women in Red and Medicine). You will not have to do anything, myself or someone else from the project will create the relevant file within your userspace. However, I am conscious that it is not polite to change an editor's userspace without notice. If I don't hear from you in the negative, I will go ahead with making the change after the 18th of January. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Many thanks for supporting the project, in solidarity, --Goldsztajn (talk) 13:20, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk Page Consensus

Hey @STSC: Just wanted to follow up on your discussions on the talk page related to Rising Sun Flag, in which you discuss whether to delete some content from the lede. After the discussion was archived, user XiAdonis has deleted the section, claiming that as you had not responded to his last counterargument, there was a consensus in favor of deletion. On my interpretation of the comments, I don't think that there was any consensus? Could you let me know of what you intended when you last posted on that page and, if I'm right, what to do with the user's repeated deletions? Thanks NettingFish15019 (talk) 15:10, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Apple Daily front page

Notwithstanding what is stated in WP:NONFREE, which is but a guideline, I invite you to take a look at other newspaper articles. You will find very few exceptions (if any at all) to the practice of having the image pf a front page. On that basis, I shall be reverting your edit once again. I don't expect to be reverted again unless you can demonstrate that my assertion is manifestly incorrect. Regards, -- Ohc  22:46, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Apologies

Apologies for my usage of the term POV-pushing. I mistook you for user Chipmunkdavis, who had been accusing me of such. My sincerest apologies. I hope this de-escalates things. -Object404 (talk) Object404 (talk) 08:59, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
