There is a mop reserved in your name

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already! |
I've been reading through your contributions and I'm wondering if you have any interest in helping out. BusterD (talk) 13:17, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Never seen you, but yeah, you look good to me. QueenofHearts 21:05, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
Please help me fix my page
editim a pro athlete and my page is A.J. Whitaker , you edited my page years ago. I need to rename my page as my name has changed from Whitaker to Sinclair. The instructions for how to do this are confusing and would require me to have a certain level of experience on Wikipedia which I don’t. If you can please figure out how to rename (or move/redirect) my page so it Says AJ Whitaker instead, that would be awesome! Thanks 50.172.159.242 (talk) 21:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Speculation about the Gresini Racing 2nd Seat and Fermin Aldeguer
editHello, Just to let you know that Fermin Aldeguer had signed a full fledged Ducati Contract back in March to race for either VR46 or Gresini in 2025, Since VR46 has already been filled, then, by using process of elimination, then he will be racing for Gresini.
Thanks

- @Wycombefan But is it official that he will be at the Gresini seat tho? No, not yet. There might be a new team that might use Ducati (although unlikely). Don't do your own process of elimination thing; publish information based on official and confirmed sources. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 17:02, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hello,
- I will wait for official confirmation.
- But one Question, where have you heard about a Potential new team? Wycombefan (talk) 20:23, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Wycombefan I didn't see anything; I'm just giving an example of what might happen. I even said that it is unlikely there is a new team. All I'm saying is, it's only official when there is an official contract signing or official announcement by the team or a team official. See WP:SPORTSTRANS. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 21:01, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ah Fair enough. I will wait for the official announcement regardless. I apologised if I sounded rude at any point.
- Also I was going to mention about the VR46 Signings (Di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli) but I saw that you kept the Riders in. Wycombefan (talk) 16:21, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-32
editLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
Two new parser functions will be available this week: {{#dir}}and{{#bcp47}}. These will reduce the need forTemplate:DirandTemplate:BCP47on Commons and allow us to drop 100 million rows from the "what links here" database. Editors at any wiki that use these templates, can help by replacing the templates with these new functions. The templates at Commons will be updated during the Hackathon at Wikimania. [1][2]- Communities can request the activation of the visual editor on entire namespaces where discussions sometimes happen (for instance Wikipedia: or Wikisource: namespaces) if they understand the known limitations. For discussions, users can already use DiscussionTools in these namespaces.
- The tracking category "Pages using Timeline" has been renamed to "Pages using the EasyTimeline extension" in TranslateWiki. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.
Project updates
- Editors who help to organize WikiProjects and similar on-wiki collaborations, are invited to share ideas and examples of successful collaborations with the Campaigns and Programs teams. You can fill out a brief survey or share your thoughts on the talkpage. The teams are particularly looking for details about successful collaborations on non-English wikis.
- The new parser is being rolled out on Wikivoyage wikis over the next few months. The English Wikivoyage and Hebrew Wikivoyage were switched to Parsoid last week. For more information, see Parsoid/Parser Unification.
