Thank you!
Welcome to my talk page. Here are some tips to help you communicate with me:

Hi, there is a move discussion at Talk:Public Sector Undertakings in India which is receiving less participation and is likely to be closed without a clear consensus. I would greatly appreciate if you could spare some time and leave your valuable opinion. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:Lokiverse 2.0 song cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Hey Vestrian24Bio! This is about your (potential) submission 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup final. For points tracking purposes, please make sure you're submitting articles under a single country, even if they qualify under more than one. The same applies for the reviews request sidebar, where horizontal space is a rapidly diminishing commodity and too many flags can be distracting. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:06, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240701230600","author":"TechnoSquirrel69","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-TechnoSquirrel69-20240701230600-About_your_DCWC_submisison","replies":["c-Vestrian24Bio-20240703111700-TechnoSquirrel69-20240701230600"]}}-->

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update. [1]
Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [2]
If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [3][4]
Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [5]
Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.

@Vestrian24Bio Hi! I had taken this as a review and provided comprehensive comments on it. If you require any clarification or want to engage in a discussion, ping me as required. With the required modifications and some time for stability, the article might be good to go. As a suggestion, I can still see a lot of edits on this happening, if there are non-constructive, you should probably seek a page protection again as it might hamper your efforts to take it to a GA. All the best! Thanks!
