Hey, Epicgenius! So here's the thing about dyk: if you haven't created preps, you have no idea what prep-setters and admins at dyk do or what challenges they face. Many editors who are regular nominators and reviewers think they'd be willing to admin, but have never filled preps, and when they become admins and start moving preps to queues, they quickly realize they didn't know what they were volunteering for. A prep-setter doesn't just create a balanced set. They also do a quick re-review on many of the hooks; you get to know whose hooks you don't have to review too heavily, but you always have to at least go check for a recent edit war or tags. If the nominator or the reviewer are new or known to be sloppy, you'll have to do a full re-review of that hook. Often prep-setters have questions they have to ask at the hook, and they deal with pushback from noms/reviewers/passersby for that. Then once you've finished a prep you have to deal with fallout at DYK talk and ERRORS. Admins do the exact same thing -- a re-review, because prep-setters miss things too, then the move (fairly simple), posting questions at DYK talk and pinging involved parties, dealing with pushback from them, and finally any fallout at ERRORS when someone finds an error you missed. So if you think you would be willing to admin at dyk, definitely go fill preps for a while to see if you like it or not. Some people love it -- I did, and I like adminning there -- but not everyone is cut out for it. It's a high-visibility job. People catch your mistakes, and the only way to prevent that is to catch other people's mistakes first. ] (]) 15:20, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
:{{u|Valereee}}, thanks for the advice. That is good to know. I think this sort of stuff should be enjoyable for me, even if a bit difficult. I just read the project page on prep areas, and it seems a bit difficult to get a good balance on hooks. ] (]) 15:23, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::That's one of the most fun parts of setting preps. The thing to do for your first prep is pick the bottom empty set (which right now gives you three days to fill it but normally six days.) Count to figure out whether the image hook needs a bio or a non-bio (it alternates by day). Go find one, vet it, and transfer it. That'll let the other prep setters know you'll fill that set. Not that they or an admin won't move stuff in and out if they need it or think another set is better for that hook, but in general one prep-setter works on a set. Then start putting the puzzle together -- no more than four bios (alternating in the set with non-bio), no more than one music/science/military/whatever subject. Not too many from any one country, though 2 - 4 USA hooks will be necessary. A balance of geographical area, not all from English-speaking countries. A balance of long and short. And of course a quirky. It's an art. Don't be afraid to trim or tweak hooks, but read the nom first if you do, as there may have already been discussion. Keep on top of talk in case someone asks a question about one of the hooks in that set, because some people won't realize they need to ping you as the promoter. :) Ping me any time, and Yoninah will often leave pointers on how to improve at your talk. When she stops, you know you're getting near the point of competence. :) ] (]) 15:47, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Once again, very impressive work on very important station complex and line articles. There is more to be added about the change in BMT plans re:Canal Street. Eventually, ] should be its own article. Also, the citations for ] are really messed up and include self-published sources like nycsubway.org, and there is more history that could be added. A lot of my older GA nominations should be looked at again for things like this. Also, for Union Square, it is worth mentioning the impromptu 9/11 memorial, and the post-2016 election post-it notes (https://mashable.com/article/power-of-post-it-note-protest-subway-therapy, https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/post-it-notes-left-union-square-election-preserved-article-1.2913344, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/12/19/post-election-subway-therapy-sticky-notes-taken-down-but-not-thrown-out/, https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/16/nyregion/subway-election-therapy-wall-sticky-notes.html). ] (]) 14:25, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
:@], the pleasure is mine. I do agree that the ] should get its own page in the future. I've also noticed that there's a lot more that can be said about the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line, especially its construction, and will have to work on it gradually. The biggest mess, though, is the Canal Street article - there are a lot of details about the BMT station that are just not mentioned at the moment, and the article in general needs more refs.{{pb}}As for the Union Square station, the article already mentions both the 9/11 memorial and the post-it wall (the second paragraph of ]). I thought one paragraph would be sufficient, seeing as how the artwork was not sanctioned by the MTA but seems to be covered by multiple reliable sources. – ] (]) 14:38, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
::I fully agree. I missed it somehow. Don't forget the studies, like the one that found making accessible was infeasible, and which provides some sourcing for station layout (i.e. platform length/width). ] (]) 15:17, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
:::It also is probably worth mentioning in the Clark Street article. ] (]) 15:30, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
::::I agree and can get around to that soon. In the meantime, I was looking at the study for Union Square, which says: {{tq|This technology does not meet ADA standards, and since there is currently no technology that does, there is no fully accessible solution for the southbound platform. We are including an option for providing elevator service to this platform in this report with the understanding that this will not provide a fully accessible solution at this time.}} So I suppose this means the southbound platform ''can'' get an elevator, it just won't be ADA-accessible because gap fillers, by their very nature, are ADA-inaccessible. – ] (]) 15:47, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
:::::Yeah. Also, unrelated, but the 1990 Clark Street Tunnel fire was very notable, and there were major reports done on fire safety/communication, etc. in its aftermath. It would warrant an article of its own. ] (]) 16:06, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
::::::I also think the 1990 Clark Street fire should get its own article. (I think the fire happened just east of the Clark Street station, though, not in the tunnel under the river.)

I think that, in the context of the article, the point of calling it a "major thoroughfare" is not to say that it is one of the biggest streets in Queens, but to say that in relation to the residential side street (Austin Street) it was a busier and more active road where perhaps help or safety could be found. Don't think of it as describing Lefferts in relation to all streets in Queens, but only about its relationship to the event taking place there at that moment. ] (]) 20:38, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

:::I took a look on Google Maps' Street View at the intersection (which, of course, is not the same thing as looking at it as it was 60 years ago), and Austin Street is residential looking and not all that wide (2 lanes of parking and one of traffic), while Lefferts Boulevard is about 33% bigger (2 lanes of parking, 2 lanes of traffic in 2 directions) with retail shops - so the point of the statement in the article stands, I think, that getting to Lefferts Boulevard was an attempt to get to a more major thoroughfare. ] (]) 03:53, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations, and thank you today for ], "about yet another building on Wall Street in New York City. This time, it's an office skyscraper that was built in 1929–1931 as a bank headquarters before being converted to residential use. The building has some notable architectural features including a curtain-like limestone facade, a polygonal red room with glittering mosaic tiles, and (originally) an executive lounge with a triple-height ceiling. Even the site, at the foot of Wall Street, was once deemed one of the most valuable sites worldwide. The structure may not be the tallest building in the area, or even on the street, but in my view at least, it's one of New York City's lesser-known Art Deco masterpieces."! - I have ] on the same page (my story today): happy new year! --] (]) 13:54, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

:There is a greater chance that the article bight be deleted, merged, or otherwise changed than there is of the infobox parameters being filled. Also, what's the odds of ''all'' the parameters being filled? (Note: I have been talked to about this before.) ]<sup>(] • ])</sup> 20:27, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
::It's broadly accepted that infoboxes are input in the template form. Deletion of parameters that might be input is not an accepted practice. It causes unnecessary work for those who may later input the parameters, or worse yet leads to a failure to encourage input of the information. There is no consensus support for your practice. It's disruptive for you to engage in that practice -- you are deleting parameters that may be filled in later, without consensus support for the practice. If you wish to change consensus, feel free. If you have been spoken to about this before, and taken an IDONTLIKEIT approach against consensus, marring the template form as input, that could be a problem. Please don't do it in the future. You add nothing to how the article itself looks, as readers do not see as-of-yet unfilled parameters, and you impair the future of the article for zero benefit.

::::That's completely untrue. Obviously. Just look at your deletion . Of course its untrue, for example that you happen to know that an image will never, ever be added. Anyway -- the rule, which should make it simple for you -- is to leave such parameters as they are, unfilled. It does not damage to what the reader sees. What you are doing, in contrast, is disruptive. Not only that -- you left an extremely misleading edit summary there, failing to mention that the vast majority of your edit was the deletion of template parameters.

Hi EpicGenius,
Thank you for your message.
If I can explain, I wanted to incude the Alvechurch Grammar School Charitable Trust in the Alvechuch Wiki page as it is a significant institution in Alvechurch. It has been going for over 200 years and has helped countless local children in the Alvechurch area. As such, IMHO, it deserves to be part of the Alvechurch page. It is verifiable, bona fide and is the subject of Articles in the Village magazine, which is already mentioned on the Alvechurch Wiki page (http://villageonline.ehclients.com/village/features/feature/trust_ready_to_help_out/), although unfortunately its web presence only dates to this year.
What do you need me to do to allow this to be included?

== Reverted edit for software version in infobox. ==
Hey, I'm new here and was wondering if I had stepped out of line changing the infobox on a wiki page that you reverted. Specifically, I'm referring to this edit: <br>
I ask because I thought I was doing good by standardizing this page across other infoboxes that also have the latest software versions tied to Template/LSR subpages.
Examples:<br>
https://en.wikipedia.org/Spotify<br>
https://en.wikipedia.org/Firefox<br>
https://en.wikipedia.org/Windows_NT<br>
Also, there was no information lost with my contribution. Both the current version and the date the latest version went live remained.
I really am new and would like some input.
Thanks.
*The problem here is that the infobox doesn't support the parameter, so that what you typed in won't display on the page. Thanks for trying to clarify the situation, though. ]<sup>(] • ])</sup> 02:41, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

::*After looking at the infobox, I think that you would have to change the entire infobox (and edit all of its transclusions) in order to get your parameter supported. All the parameters are as follows: <code><nowiki>{{Infobox software

:::* Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, I don't think I marked this conversation as "watch". I don't think you need to revise the entire infobox. If you were to undo the latest edit to the infobox and click "preview" the stable release and release date still appear, only it's pulled from a template page instead. "Stable release 7.1a (February 7, 2012; 20 months ago) ". I made sure that when I saved my change to the infobox that the software version still appeared where it had been. Moreover I noticed that other software infoboxes went about displaying it's software versions in the same way. I noticed truecrypt didn't follow this model when I tried to use the wikipedia API to get a list of software versions. It follows it now since I've added a template page (see: ]), in that I can pull the version using the API now, but if Truecrypt were to ever update then no one would change the template page if the infobox already has the newest version, making any api call to the template page out of date.] (]) 17:55, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

My name is Sally Erhardt knoche. We have edited my fathers page Ronald Peter Erhardt pro football coach numerous times and someone keeps changing it back. This is what it should say at the bottom of the page. Also survived by first wife with his biological children. Rhoda and children Ed, Liz, Jane and Sally. Ed and wife Laurie have two children Brett and Colin. Liz and husband Gregg have 2 children Justine and Julie. Justine and her husband Andrew just gave birth to Ron's first biological great-granddaughter, Mallory! Jane and her husband Rob have two children Amanda and Alex. Sally and her husband Ron have two children Brianne and Aryka.
I don't know who you are or why you keep changing it back. I was told we could add this to his page. I don't need to prove this is real. I wouldn't even know what you need to do that and once again don't know who you are. If you are doing this for the Jesse family they are not his real family and we want this in his legacy. They took out father away from us 40 years ago but they are not taking away that he had four children and keeping it a secret so they don't have to explain that he had other children with his first wife.

Many editors who are regular nominators and reviewers think they'd be willing to admin, but have never filled preps, and when they become admins and start moving preps to queues, they quickly realize they didn't know what they were volunteering for. A prep-setter doesn't just create a balanced set. They also do a quick re-review on many of the hooks; you get to know whose hooks you don't have to review too heavily, but you always have to at least go check for a recent edit war or tags. If the nominator or the reviewer are new or known to be sloppy, you'll have to do a full re-review of that hook. Often prep-setters have questions they have to ask at the hook, and they deal with pushback from noms/reviewers/passersby for that. Then once you've finished a prep you have to deal with fallout at DYK talk and ERRORS. Admins do the exact same thing -- a re-review, because prep-setters miss things too, then the move (fairly simple), posting questions at DYK talk and pinging involved parties, dealing with pushback from them, and finally any fallout at ERRORS when someone finds an error you missed. So if you think you would be willing to admin at dyk, definitely go fill preps for a while to see if you like it or not. Some people love it -- I did, and I like adminning there -- but not everyone is cut out for it. It's a high-visibility job. People catch your mistakes, and the only way to prevent that is to catch other people's mistakes first. —valereee (talk) 15:20, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Valereee, thanks for the advice. That is good to know. I think this sort of stuff should be enjoyable for me, even if a bit difficult. I just read the project page on prep areas, and it seems a bit difficult to get a good balance on hooks. epicgenius (talk) 15:23, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
That's one of the most fun parts of setting preps. The thing to do for your first prep is pick the bottom empty set (which right now gives you three days to fill it but normally six days.) Count to figure out whether the image hook needs a bio or a non-bio (it alternates by day). Go find one, vet it, and transfer it. That'll let the other prep setters know you'll fill that set. Not that they or an admin won't move stuff in and out if they need it or think another set is better for that hook, but in general one prep-setter works on a set. Then start putting the puzzle together -- no more than four bios (alternating in the set with non-bio), no more than one music/science/military/whatever subject. Not too many from any one country, though 2 - 4 USA hooks will be necessary. A balance of geographical area, not all from English-speaking countries. A balance of long and short. And of course a quirky. It's an art. Don't be afraid to trim or tweak hooks, but read the nom first if you do, as there may have already been discussion. Keep on top of talk in case someone asks a question about one of the hooks in that set, because some people won't realize they need to ping you as the promoter. :) Ping me any time, and Yoninah will often leave pointers on how to improve at your talk. When she stops, you know you're getting near the point of competence. :) —valereee (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Happy Holidays
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7☎
@Kew Gardens 613, the pleasure is mine. I do agree that the Clark Street Tunnel should get its own page in the future. I've also noticed that there's a lot more that can be said about the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line, especially its construction, and will have to work on it gradually. The biggest mess, though, is the Canal Street article - there are a lot of details about the BMT station that are just not mentioned at the moment, and the article in general needs more refs.As for the Union Square station, the article already mentions both the 9/11 memorial and the post-it wall (the second paragraph of 14th Street–Union Square station#Artwork). I thought one paragraph would be sufficient, seeing as how the artwork was not sanctioned by the MTA but seems to be covered by multiple reliable sources. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:38, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
I fully agree. I missed it somehow. Don't forget the Stantec studies, like the one that found making Clark Street accessible was infeasible, and which provides some sourcing for station layout (i.e. platform length/width). Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 15:17, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
I agree and can get around to that soon. In the meantime, I was looking at the study for Union Square, which says: This technology does not meet ADA standards, and since there is currently no technology that does, there is no fully accessible solution for the southbound platform. We are including an option for providing elevator service to this platform in this report with the understanding that this will not provide a fully accessible solution at this time. So I suppose this means the southbound platform can get an elevator, it just won't be ADA-accessible because gap fillers, by their very nature, are ADA-inaccessible. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:47, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Yeah. Also, unrelated, but the 1990 Clark Street Tunnel fire was very notable, and there were major reports done on fire safety/communication, etc. in its aftermath. It would warrant an article of its own. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:06, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Also-the provisions in the Eastern Parkway Line used for the Clark Street Tunnel connection were initially intended for a line over the Manhattan Bridge. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:27, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
That is interesting. If we can find a reliable source for this, I could add it to the Borough Hall or Eastern Parkway Line articles. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:35, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
I have seen reliable sources for this-if you cannot find them, I can look for them after I get my final paper for the semester done today. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:49, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
I agree. I've noticed quite a bit of info about how Canal Street's proximity to the old Collect Pond contributed to tons of water problems there. I can add these sources in later. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:04, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
That's very interesting. I might have to look through this journal to, um, shore up some architectural articles as well. That Canal Street article was really detailed, and I expect the others will be no different. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:46, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Misplaced Pages Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays! Aaron Liu (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Featured script
Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.
Miscellaneous
Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Misplaced Pages has a templaters' newsletter...
BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.
Congratulations, Epicgenius! The article you nominated, Merchant's House Museum, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Misplaced Pages. The nomination discussion has been archived.This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article.

Congratulations, and thank you today for 1 Wall Street, "about yet another building on Wall Street in New York City. This time, it's an office skyscraper that was built in 1929–1931 as a bank headquarters before being converted to residential use. The building has some notable architectural features including a curtain-like limestone facade, a polygonal red room with glittering mosaic tiles, and (originally) an executive lounge with a triple-height ceiling. Even the site, at the foot of Wall Street, was once deemed one of the most valuable sites worldwide. The structure may not be the tallest building in the area, or even on the street, but in my view at least, it's one of New York City's lesser-known Art Deco masterpieces."! - I have a Bach cantata on the same page (my story today): happy new year! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:54, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Hello again. I am pleased to inform you that Operation B&M will be ready for a "revival" starting on February 1, 2025. If you have any questions feel free to reach me on my talk page! Therguy10 (talk) 17:34, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.
For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.
Ewhite31 just gave me a warning that if the B13 page I just created does not have the necessary noteability, the page will be moved, redirected, or deleted. I want the page to stay, but I need your help. How can we improve the B13 page on Misplaced Pages to better meet its standards? Wikis6501 (talk) 15:54, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
@Wikis6501, I would suggest finding third-party sources, such as books or newspaper articles, that show that the bus route meets the general notability guideline (I don't think there is a subject-specific notability guideline here, since bus routes don't tend to be notable outside of major cities). The New York Times and the Brooklyn Public Library's archive of newspapers probably has some coverage of the B13 and its predecessors. There are also books about the BMT/BRT, but I don't know if they mention the B13 or its predecessors. – Epicgenius (talk) 16:09, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Some of the content cannot be accessed without paying for it. Two of the bus pages that show evidence-lacking history have the tag “citation needed”, and that may have kept the pages from being redirected, so I’m going to add these tags. I live in a working-class family who does not want me to pay for what they think is unnecessary stuff. Where I was able to get evidence I cited it. Wikis6501 (talk) 17:03, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
