DYK for Cartucho

On 12 January 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cartucho, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Nellie Campobello's Cartucho is the only canonical literary representation of the Mexican Revolution written by a woman? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cartucho. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Precious anniversary

Three years now! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:13, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

... and five! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:04, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

In case you're wondering ...

... why you were pinged, there's a fairly substantial, and very civil, conversation on my talk page about sourcing. It begins here with the original question. In the "Break two" section the issue of historiography and transformative texts has been mentioned, and I believe that's something you could speak to better than I, if you were inclined to chime in. Anyway, just explaining the reason for the ping. Victoria (tk) 23:14, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Am travelling right now (Milan to Salamanca via Zurich, London, and Madrid). Will take a look when I can. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 14:14, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

I wouldn't rush. I can't think why anything on WP could compete with Milan to Salamanca via Zurich, London, and Madrid. Enjoy the trip and thanks for the reply. Victoria (tk) 00:53, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Assessment for article on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside

Hi Jon. I've been working on an article that I thought you might be interested in: Downtown Eastside. I've just nominated it for the A-class assessment and I'm hoping to take it through the Featured Article assessment process. If you're interested and have the time to assess it, be bold and edit it, or offer any advice, that would be really appreciated! Cheers, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 05:00, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Great job with this article! Have made some minor edits, and added a comment on the talk page. But again, well done! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 07:40, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! Appreciate your time and thoughts :) Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 05:27, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Jbmurray. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Invitation to Training Modules design conversation

Hello! We are leaving you this message because you have previously indicated that you interested in helping the Wikimedia Foundation Support & Safety team in developing our training modules this year.

We appreciate all the help and thoughts users like you have offered thus far. We would like to encourage you, if you are interested, to participate in the next step of our development: a community consultation about the design and structure of the modules. Note that we're not yet gathering feedback on the content of the modules - a separate consultation about that will be starting soon.

In this "design" consultation, we're looking for advice on things like the best place to host these modules, the accessibility of content, and other potential design decisions. Please feel free to leave any thoughts you have about these things on the talk page. Thanks! Kbrown (WMF) (talk) 18:06, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
