@Gonnym: Most have at least 1 non-self transclusion, the only ones that do not are Delaware, Montana, ND, SD, Wyoming. Those in this list (User:CX Zoom/TestPage18) have 2 transclusions. I know I've been very slow, but I'm going to blame my exam schedule and ADHD-brain for that. *Hopefully* by the end of this month I shall complete it. Thanks for trouting! —CX Zoom[he/him](let's talk • {C•X})10:11, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have closed the template RM. Are you ok to do the code changes needed before the template is moved? Pinging @EpicPupper: also in case he needs to do the actual code changes (not sure who has the right permissions to do so). Vpab15 (talk) 21:48, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@TheManishPanwar: Aap jis article ko rename karne ke liye madad maang rahe hain, wo to Panwar rajgharane par tha 16 saal se. Aap usko surname mein kyu badal rahe hain? Agar Panwar ek popular surname hai, to aap alag se "Panwar (surname)" naam ka article bhi bana sakte hai. —CX Zoom[he/him](let's talk • C • L)14:45, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No proof that Warner Bros. Feature Animation is the new name for Warner Animation Group.
This makes no sense. There is absolutely no information on the Variety article that Warner Animation Group is going to be renamed to Warner Bros. Feature Animation, as the "Warner Animation Group" is still used today. The Warner Animation Group name and logo are still used. Warner Bros. Feature Animation (1994-2004) is the successor to Warner Animation Group. The Variety article accidentally called it "Warner Bros. Feature Animation" without the information that Warner Animation Group will be renamed. With the case of that studio, it still uses the Warner Animation Group name. Therefore, the information that Warner Animation Group is going to be renamed to Warner Bros. Feature Animation is actually false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VictorPinas17 (talk • contribs) 09:46, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Modussiccandi: I did suspect that it is a sock of Sirspinzalot, who !voted in the AfD, but did not have access to the deleted page or it's history to confirm the same. Thanks for doing all that. —CX Zoom[he/him](let's talk • {C•X})19:59, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Quiz generation
Based on the current VPR conversation, what should the quiz be on? I was thinking there should be some question(s) from WP:TFA, since those articles are definitely at a higher standard than ITN / DYK. Sungodtemple (talk) 22:11, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sungodtemple: Sorry for the late response. Well, I haven't really thought about it. Personally, I'd think of questions from a variety of topics (provided that they're supported by inline sources) and possibly a bonus question from that day's TFA. Thoughts? —CX Zoom[he/him](let's talk • {C•X})19:23, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, which topics precisely? The 'topic selection' process is probably the most difficult one, and I think it would be very prone to bias. What about one question from each of WP:VITAL1 topics? I can't seem to think of anything better. Sungodtemple (talk) 03:13, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
VITAL1 is too small a list. Wouldn't it be repetitive to have questions come from the same 10 articles every now and then? Further, there are 1 FA & GAs each, and 6 are C-class. —CX Zoom[he/him](let's talk • {C•X})05:14, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the late reply. I'm a bit tired right now, can you create a user subpage or Wikipedia page just for a collection of questions? Sungodtemple (talk) 02:52, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
DYK: Miss Universe Is now a Philippines based organization? I'm not sure where to revert back to on that article. There seems to be a lot of hanky-panky going on with the Miss World/Universe/Earth content. Thanks for opening the sock ticket! I'm tired and signing off for the night. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 07:56, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for cleaning up the mess. Even I don't know which is the "good version" in these articles. Tbf, I don't know a thing about beauty contests, except that Rachellegeneroso's additions are just hoax. These articles are so heavily vandalised by socks (with different sockmasters) that we also have a WP:GS/PAGEANTS sanctions. But that ain't stopping the vandals yet. —CX Zoom[he/him](let's talk • {C•X})08:27, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Board of Trustees election
Thank you for supporting the NPP initiative to improve WMF support of the Page Curation tools. Another way you can help is by voting in the Board of Trustees election.

Revert three times and then ask for temporary semi protection due to sock puppetry. Sorry I forgot the name of this sockmaster. But it is possible to search that ANI thread, if you are interested. Venkat TL (talk) 11:05, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Thewolfchild: Typically IP users don't (shouldn't) have userpage. That's a reason why default MediaWiki IP signature links to their contributions instead of userpage. Further, the page was created by PaleoNeonate with the text User page creation attempt for IP address user 142.160.131.202 which appeared pretty much a test edit (WP:CSD#G2) Also, the IP talk pages of those who haven't edited in a long time with {{Blanked IP talk}} and removing all content from those pages. In view of all them, I thought it was appropriate to delete that userpage. Now, I think probably not. Will take care of that going ahead. —CX Zoom[he/him](let's talk • {C•X})19:29, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, "typically" IP users don't have (active) user pages but many do, and is there a policy that says they can't or "shouldn't"...? But as you point out, it was PaleoNeonate that activated the page, way back when they were new(er?), five years ago. All that IP user did was redirect their (now active) user page to their talk page, something that many registered users do (myself included), and which is about as benign an action as they could possibly do. In the case of IP user pages, such redirects makes very little difference, since they're not typically used anyway. That said, I just didn't see the need for deletion request or the ping, and was just curious about the reasons. Thanks for the response. - wolf23:40, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @CX Zoom: Thanks for that comment your made at the Rfd on File:Winterlink Group.png redirect, that I was trying to delete. I didn't know that before and thats an important point. At the time I never gave it a thought. :) scope_creepTalk10:34, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Beccaynr: It is clear that Mahsa Amini(Jina) is a very improper article title and falls short of guidelines at WP:NCPEOPLE. The disambiguation is so improper here that now that it is a redirect, it would be WP:RfDable, which I'm holding on until the AfD is complete. For (1) Elli had already moved the article, which I could've reverted, but (2) the consensus on RM was overwhelmingly in support of name change, including Keivan.f. PamD opposed the RM on the grounds that AfD is currently on, and did not oppose on the basis of (de)merits of the proposed name, which was a !vote I did not give much weight to because of this very recent failed RfC that sought to ban moves during AfDs. —CX Zoom[he/him](let's talk • {C•X})22:43, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your reply, CX Zoom. My concerns are 1) there did not appear to be overwhelming support for the move, which also replaces the redirect to the Death of Mahsa Amini, 2) the editor who created the Mahsa Amini(Jina) article and page move discussion had attempted to rename the Death of Mahsa Amini, was reverted, and then the page was protected (this is discussed in the AfD, e.g. [2] ) and 3) the article now named Mahsa Amini appears to be a POV fork. While Mahsa Amini(Jina) is an improper article title, it may have been chosen to evade the page protection implemented by Tamzin, so I have some concerns about this move being made during this AfD, due to the particular circumstances. It may be better to revert the move by Elli and allow the page move discussion to continue after the AfD concludes, if the article is kept instead of deleted or merged. Beccaynr (talk) 23:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I think the RFC: Add Instruction Not to Move discussion does not necessarily support downweighting participants who supported waiting for this AfD to end. This may be an unusual situation, but the RfC outcome appears to encourage flexibility and responsiveness to the particular circumstances, including consideration of participants who suggest waiting for an AfD to conclude. Beccaynr (talk) 23:45, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Beccaynr: Sorry for the late response. Actually I think all things considered, the move was appropriate. Ofcourse a consensus at AfD will supersede a local RM and it may get deleted, renamed, draftified. I'd like to know what @Elli thinks and if she would vacate her move, I'll reopen and relist the RM. —CX Zoom[he/him](let's talk • {C•X})05:13, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, CX Zoom, I appreciate your perspective on this as an uninvolved participant in the AfD, and for considering my perspective. Cheers, Beccaynr (talk) 06:15, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Beccaynr: I apologize for not closing the RM when I did the move, that was an oversight on my part. It seemed to me that the RM was opened because the editor who opened it did not have the technical ability to move the page, and not because they thought the move would be controversial. There was no substantive opposition to the move (obviously, because the previous title was blatantly incorrect), and it explicitly is allowed to move articles that are at AfD (and while for more controversial moves it's good to avoid that, this was effectively just fixing a typo). Elli (talk | contribs) 07:06, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Elli, and one of the things I appreciate about Wikipedia is that it has a lot of self-correcting mechanisms, so one way or another, the underlying issues will get resolved. This does appear to be an obvious move because of the blatantly incorrect title, but may be controversial based in part on the September 2022 discussion on the talk page of the editor who created the article and the page move discussion. However, the AfD will address the larger issue of whether this article should currently exist, and if the article is kept, editors can continue removing unreliable sources and applying NPOV policy. Thank you both for discussing this with me - I am not very familiar with the RM process, so I also appreciate your help with my learning process. Beccaynr (talk) 13:41, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just a reminder, when you move a page, remember to move the talk page, too. If it is an orphaned main space talk page, it can easily be deleted when it should be moved instead. Thank you. LizRead!Talk!08:38, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Liz: Thanks for pointing this out. Although I typically take great care to do that, and have myself been de-orphaning old talk/archives for about a week now, I really don't know how this one got left out, because as far as I remember, I had checked the move talk button. I would certainly make sure to double check that everything is properly moved going ahead. Thanks again! —CX Zoom[he/him](let's talk • {C•X})09:11, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
