i'm working on a rewrite of Religion in Abkhazia in my userspace - user:Sawyer777/Religion in Abkhazia. there's not much there yet but i've got this big old list of sources so i'm thinking it will be pretty long, especially in comparison to its sister article Religion in South Ossetia. i thought you may want to follow its progress and if you'd like to work on it or have any ideas, feel free! ... sawyer * he/they * talk 01:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up and for working on that. Sure, I've added it to the watchlist.

Regarding the history section, ideally it should be based on more and better sources than just Clogg. She's not a church historian after all. However there are not a lot of sources about this topic, even fewer in English and even fewer are available online. Alaexis_¿question? 07:13, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

agreed about clogg - i am just laying things down right now, and will add more from the rest of the list as i go through each source & copyedit. still in its early stages for sure ... sawyer * he/they * talk 07:39, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck! Will be looking at the draft once in a while. Alaexis_¿question? 10:52, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How to remove "Orphan" article message on Article

Hello @Alaexis, There was a request to link the "orphaned" article on IPMX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPMX) to another Wiki article. This has now been done. The article on JPEG XS which mentioned IPMX is now linking to the IPMX article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XS ). Also, I used the "find link tool" and the other 3 links suggested are for a different IPMX that does not relate to the Intenet Protocol Media Experience-IPMX, so they should not to be linked to this. How do I remove the message on the IPMX article about it being an "orphan" article? TechBossBabe (talk) 15:00, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Alaexis_¿question? 21:04, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Coleslorikeet (10:21, 21 January 2025)

Hello

I'm new and am having trouble trying to get the Wikipedia citation for Populate and Perish: Australian Women's fight for birth control, by Stefania Siedlecky and Diana Wyndham. Allen & Unwin, 1990.

Please help - I tried to follow the template but got it wrong. Also, the footnote [1] is at the top of the page but it should be in the section where I added information about the early RHA organisations and the change of name from RHA to FPA in 1960.

Thanks Coleslorikeet --Coleslorikeet (talk) 10:21, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Coleslorikeet, I assume you wanted to use it in the Racial Hygiene Association of New South Wales article, right? The only error was that you didn't populate the last2 field, I've fixed it.

The citation should be after the statement it supports and not in the very beginning of the article, you'll need to move it there. Alaexis_¿question? 12:17, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks Alaexis

I'm on my L plates

Hello again Alaexis

I don't know how to move footnote [1] to the right place, after the sentence about the name change in 1960. Could you please do that for me?

Cheers, Coleslorikeet Coleslorikeet (talk) 20:00, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries!

Done - you can see how the change looks in the code here. Alaexis_¿question? 21:38, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Coleslorikeet on Women's Electoral Lobby (Australia) (21:24, 22 January 2025)

Hello Alaexis

I want to add a correct citation for Marian Sawer's "Making Women Count' ISBN 9780868409436

How can I fix this? Thanks Coleslorikeet --Coleslorikeet (talk) 21:24, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Coleslorikeet, just looked at it and didn't see anything wrong. You might want to add page numbers to the citation, see Template:Cite book for the guidance. Alaexis_¿question? 22:22, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5 closed

The arbitration case Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5 has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

All articles whose topic is strictly within the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area shall be extended confirmed protected by default, without requiring prior disruption on the article.
AndreJustAndre, BilledMammal, Iskandar323, Levivich, Makeandtoss, Nableezy, Nishidani, and Selfstudier are indefinitely topic banned from the Palestine-Israel conflict, broadly construed. These restrictions may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
Zero0000 is warned for their behavior in the Palestine-Israel topic area, which falls short of the conduct expected of an administrator.
Should the Arbitration Committee receive a complaint at WP:ARCA about AndreJustAndre, within 12 months of the conclusion of this case, AndreJustAndre may be banned from the English Wikipedia by motion.
WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (discretionary) and WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (1,000 words) are both modified to add as a new second sentence to each: Citations and quotations (whether from sources, Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia discussions, or elsewhere) do not count toward the word limit.
Any AE report is limited to a max of two parties: the party being reported, and the filer. If additional editors are to be reported, separate AE reports must be opened for each. AE admins may waive this rule if the particular issue warrants doing so.
The community is encouraged to run a Request for Comment aimed at better addressing or preventing POV forks, after appropriate workshopping.
The Committee recognizes that working at AE can be a thankless and demanding task, especially in the busy PIA topic area. We thus extend our appreciation to the many administrators who have volunteered their time to help out at AE.
Editors are reminded that outside actors have a vested interest in this topic area, and might engage in behaviors such as doxxing in an attempt to influence content and editors. The digital security resources page contains information that may help.
Within this topic area, the balanced editing restriction is added as one of the sanctions that may be imposed by an individual administrator or rough consensus of admins at AE.

Details of the balanced editing restriction

In a given 30-day period, a user under this restriction is limited to making no more than one-third of their edits in the Article, Talk, Draft, and Draft talk namespaces to pages that are subject to the extended-confirmed restriction under Arab–Israeli conflict contentious topic procedures.
- This will be determined by an edit filter that tracks edits to pages in these namespaces that are extended confirmed protected, or are talk pages of such pages, and are tagged with templates to be designated by the arbitration clerks. Admins are encouraged to apply these templates when protecting a page, and the clerks may use scripts or bots to add these templates to pages where the protection has been correctly logged, and may make any necessary changes in the technical implementation of this remedy in the future.
- Making an edit in excess of this restriction, as determined at the time the edit is made, should be treated as if it were a topic ban violation. Admins should note that a restricted user effectively cannot violate the terms of this and above clauses until at least 30 days after the sanction has been imposed.
They are topic banned from the Arab–Israeli conflict, broadly construed, in all namespaces other than these four (except for their own userspace and user talkspace).
This sanction is not subject to the normal standards of evidence for disruptive editing; it simply requires a finding that it would be a net positive for the project were the user to lower their activity in the topic area, particularly where an editor has repeatedly engaged in conflict but is not being intentionally or egregiously disruptive.
Any admin finding a user in violation of this restriction may, at their discretion, impose other contentious topic sanctions.

If a sockpuppet investigations clerk or member of the CheckUser team feels that third-party input is not helpful at an investigation, they are encouraged to use their existing authority to ask users to stop posting to that investigation or to SPI as a whole. In addition to clerks and members of the CheckUser team, patrolling administrators may remove or collapse contributions that impede the efficient resolution of investigations without warning.

Question from Arthistoryfromthesouth (08:27, 24 January 2025)

Hello! I noticed that a page I edited was moved to the draft section, and I'm wondering if you could clarify the difference between the draft section and my sandbox. Additionally, could you please guide me on where I can locate the draft page in my settings?
