We have long followed and respected your work at WP. We have the appended general and specific requests to make, regarding the article title referenced.
_____
1, In general, we would suggest that it is counter to WP's historical and philosophical raison d'être, to so fully restrict Talk page engagement, that non-registered editors cannot even post requests for article changes. This essentially prohibits, at the given article, a class editors from directly participating with that article's fellow editors. Notably, the class of editors excluded (the non-registered) were consciously and consistently included, beginning with the WP founders, to allow editing very similarly entitled as that of the registered. The baby needs not go out with the bath water. Edits from good non-registered editors need not be excluded alongside vandalism.
I suggest that the article might retain its editing restrictions, but that the Talk page should allow, at least, for non-registered/logging editors to post direct requests for article changes to their article peers. (Yes, we are aware that there is a mechanism to suggest article changes outside of the article's Talk page. But those further clicks take the request outside of the direct review and reflection of a given article's editors and readers, separating parties with similar interests, and convoluting simple question like, "Has this edit been reuested before?".)
2, Regarding the following sentence at the Page article (which opens its paragraph, and is followed by two citations):
On November 9, 2017, it was announced that Page had been cast in the main role of Vanya/Viktor Hargreeves in the Netflix superhero series The Umbrella Academy.
Note, this reflects no proposed change to the wikilink destination; it is only a proposed change to its markup piping/presentation.
Justification: Having reviewed the sentence and its two supporting citations, one must conclude that the sentence is both historically inaccurate, and inccurate to its stated sources. The sources presented make no mention of the Viktor character, only the Vanya; thus, the current presentation confounds an early decision in the series with later developments in the series design and production. For historical accuracy, the article should report only what the citations report—that on that 2017 date, Page was cast in the role of Vanya (as the two citations provided indicate no perception on the part of the series writers/showrunner, in that moment, of the character evolving as it eventually would). Then, further on, as the role evolved, the second character name should be introduced, with that relevant date (with citations reporting that change in series design and related casting).
Note, no motivation with regard to gender issues should be perceived here. This edit is simply aimed at WP:VERIFY compliance, and the historical accuracy of the prose—that the WP article text says what the sources say, and accurately reflects the history of the series as it occurred.
Thank you for your attention to these general and specific requests. Again, I come to you out of continuing respect for your work here, and believing, pragmatically, that a change in the article and its editing status will only take place if suggested by such a one as yourself. (Please feel free to edit/adapt my requests, in any way you see fit.) With kind regard,

Hello DMacks, Thank you very much for your revision about the topic of Trehalosamine that I (Nat comp 4) created before. I am not good at editing Wikipedia, and your efforts make this article much better. I would like to talk to you, however, about two things. The first, the structures of 3-trehalosamine and 4-trehalosamine are mixed up. Please check and revise it. The second, some specialist of sugar told me before that the trehalosamine structures you put this time are ambiguous to show alfa-alfa-1,1 bond structure and should be avoided to use. The structure seems somewhat like alfa-beta-1,1 bond although this kind of trehalose structure are sometimes seen in the scientific papers. Therefore, I put the previous version of the structure. I am not a specialist of sugar 3D structure and if you are in the field much deeply than me, I do not persist in it. Thank you for your kind consideration.

Thank you for your review and for tagging the page regarding inline citations on the Bernadette Thompson article. I’ve made some updates to clarify the connections between specific claims and their corresponding sources, ensuring it’s easier to verify the information.
Initially, some citations were placed at the end of paragraphs where the sources covered thematically related information. I've now added more precise inline citations to ensure that the origins of certain claims are clearer within the narrative. I hope these adjustments resolve the concern and make the article more straightforward to navigate.
I appreciate your input and your help in improving the page! Fashionista345 (talk) 08:32, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

As mentioned at Talk:Stacking (chemistry)#Split proposal and probably noncontroversial, I am planning to paste a lot of content in Stacking (chemistry) into Pi-stacking, which is a redirect to Stacking (chemistry). Seem reasonable? --Smokefoot (talk) 23:38, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Good morning! Since you were the one who blocked Alon9393 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), I'm pointing you to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cyprus–Saudi Arabia relations, where I noted that a suspected block evader showed up, i.e. Alon9393. This was 181.197.42.150 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). After several relists, another 181.197.42.215 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) showed up who is quite obviously the same person as the previous IP. I draw the conclusion from the IP number itself, as well as the latter IP using the word "notoriety" in an AFD context, which is a dead giveaway for Alon9393 - per his user talk page where this word was brought up.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phycomin until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Please whenever you need me write to me in the talk of the article concerned. I have removed the duplicate reference. ReyHahn (talk) 14:09, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
The use of the word "apprentice" is that of the Boston Globe journalist cited, who does not know better. Scientists do not use this word. The phrasing "operator of the electron microscope" is also the journalist's wording. Scientific colleagues would not call Chow just an "operator." Nykiang (talk) 05:42, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
WMF Research Team

Hello, I am requesting clarity on the comment you’ve left on the article I’ve submitted for creation. I have added a host of verifiable references and citations, and have followed reviewers advice at every turn, as clearly shown in the edit log. Therefore, your comment “same BLP unfixed mess” as your reason for repeatedly declining the submission is in no way helpful, and does not seem to represent a good faith attempt at objective editing. Some clarification would be very much appreciated. Hungryscamp (talk) 19:32, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
