Noticed you frequently use the hyperlink NFCC instead of WP:NFCC when you use it. Be aware of the issues that this presents when you are citing the wrong pages on the files for deletion discussion. Plinkis (talk) 10:03, 9 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Plinkis, thank you for telling me. I looked at all my comments of yesterday, as I went over all nominations of the week prior, and could only find one instance of the mistake on an October 5 thread. Did I miss another one? Choucas🐦⬛11:19, 9 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

I edited the baldwinsville and BWCSD notable people, and the principal for the BWSCD on the baldwinsville page, why were these reverted? --Blizzcross (talk) 14:00, 9 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Blizzcross, I looked at your contributions, and a few of them were reverted for different reasons. Regarding the two you mention, it was most likely because they were not sourced: in general, every addition or change in content in an article should be verifiable. I also see that you tried a few times to insert your own username within Overwatch-related articles, I strongly suggest you stop doing that as this will likely get you sanctioned for disruptive editing if you continue.

Hello! To be honest, I'm not really looking into editing anything anytime soon, but I was just wondering - what makes you make an edit? Like how do you come across something and think "that information is wrong"? Is it from having read factual/verified sources? Or do you go and read verified sources on things you read on wiki and then make edits on incorrect information. I've always wondered this, and would be grateful to know:) --ErenBird (talk) 16:55, 11 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi @ErenBird:) It is an interesting question, because it depends a lot on the editor, and the kind of edit. I think a common thread is that the more you get familiar with editing Wikipedia, the more you learn how articles are supposed to look like, and since at the same time you learn how to fix more and more issues, it feels increasingly natural to fix things when reading. Often when you start editing, typos or inaccurate information is the easiest stuff to spot, so that is what you learn to fix first; but there are actually way more things that can be done to improve articles. Actually, a good example is probably the series of edits I just did on Rust (fungus). I was reading about Rust (programming language), and learnt that it got its name from the fungus. Going to read the fungus page, I noticed it had quite a few issues, so as I was reading the article, I moved sections around, fixed weird formatting, adjusted links, updated a maintenance tag, removed an unsourced paragraph... All of these fixes are things I learnt at a different point, but now I immediately see them when reading articles, so if I am not in a rush to do something else I just fix them. Hope that answers your question! Choucas🐦⬛13:02, 14 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
October 2026 Administrator Elections – Voting Phase
October 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase (we are here)
Scrutineering phase
In the voting phase, the candidate subpages close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote has a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for a few days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a non-recall candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Recall candidates must achieve 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from 365-day calendar, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Question from Qwerty12cuul (23:39, 19 October 2026)
Hi @Thisgirldoesn'tknow, and welcome! I checked your edits on SIT. It is a big improvement on the original text that was shamelessly promotional, that is for sure. Good that you went back and fixed the typos as well. The text itself is fine now, but it is still missing maybe the most important part: at least one reference including a citation to a reliable source. If you could find that to verify and include in the paragraph it would be great. Choucas🐦⬛12:36, 26 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
