Thank you for standing for arbitrator. I am far away from it all (travel, mourning), not in the mood, so just an informal question you can answer or ignore:
What does this 2024 DYK tell you about infoboxes for classical composers in 2024? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:19, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241119161900","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241119161900-cand_q","replies":["c-CaptainEek-20241120011200-Gerda_Arendt-20241119161900"]}}-->
@Gerda Arendt Hi Gerda, sorry to hear about rough times for you; I hope the sun shines again on you soon. As to your question, we've talked about infoboxes before. I still stand by my 2022 response about the infobox wars. The interesting thing I note from that DYK is that all of the articles have an infobox, except for Mahler's, but Mahler is the only FA. Of course, Mahler is a 2010 vintage FA, from an era before the ubiquity of infoboxes. What does that tell me? I guess from this small sampling, it might be evidence that infoboxes have won the war on infoboxes. Much as drugs seem to have won the war on drugs, or poverty has won the war on poverty....

Perhaps turn your attention to the talk pages, and tell me if you believe that the topic should still be treated as "contentious".

@Gerda Arendt Thank you for the direction :) Most of the articles don't have an issue. But I do admit some surprise at seeing just how recent and voluminous the infobox argument on Mahler's page is. However, from this small sampling, I'm not sure I could say authoritatively that infoboxes remain a problem.

You might try the strength of arguments, how is that?

November was rich in sadness and happiness for me, expressed in music. Regarding my question, I found one so far who looked into the matter and didn't stay at the surface, Simonm223. There are two composers on the Main page today, Siegfried Thiele and Aaron Copland. I find the response of my friend Jerome Kohl to a question on Copland's article talk promising.

Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and a specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount.

Hi CaptainEek, nice to meet you. I am not yet fluent in the editing practices here. Would it be better to provide reasons for reverting less constructive edits in the edit summary box? Is there anything else I need to consider when reverting? Thank you. --Lyndis Parlour (talk) 17:19, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241230171900","author":"Lyndis Parlour","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Lyndis_Parlour-20241230171900-Question_from_Lyndis_Parlour_(17:19,_30_December_2024)","replies":["c-CaptainEek-20241231181400-Lyndis_Parlour-20241230171900"]}}-->
@Lyndis Parlour one should generally provide an WP:EDITSUMMARY, yes. Obvious nonsense (curse words, spam) can just be removed with a summary like "rvv" (meaning revert vandalism). But anything that could remotely be productive or in good faith should be reverted with a fuller explanation of why that edit is not an improvement.

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.

@Phoenix 217 Does such a page exist already? Or are you saying you want to create one in the first place? I should advise you that we do not write about everything, we only write about subjects considered notable. If you haven't been the subject of significant news coverage, you probably don't qualify.

Hi @CaptainEek, happy new year! Would it be possible to increase the level of protection for Li's page? Most of the vandals are confirmed longtime Wikipedia users, one of whom attacked her on X and Reddit. He was subsequently banned from Wikipedia for abusing his editing privileges. He continues to leave incendiary public comments about her on Facebook. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Wishing you a fantastic new year!

@Napoleonjosephine2020 well that user is currently blocked, and even if he does get unblocked, I doubt he'll be allowed to directly edit Lindy Li's page either.

@KEmel49 continuously is a bit of a stretch. They turned two redirects into articles, which you then deleted without an appropriate explanation. You then gave them the "malicious redirect" warning, which was entirely inappropriate. Please don't WP:BITE the newbies. They were obviously a good faith contributor who just doesn't understand our byzantine rules. The right thing to do, instead of templating them, would be to have given them a nice explanation of how they could make those articles correctly.

A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
