There is a mop reserved in your name[edit]

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!

You're not an admin? Queen of ♡ | speak 21:08, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seconded. You have my support, (also I just remebered that I should work on afdstats, thank you for the work you do on maintaining it) Sohom (talk) 21:37, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can take very little credit for afdstats, my involvement was mostly just applying a few hacks to get it up and running on the new Kubernetes servers. --Ahecht (TALK

Yep, good work with those page moves yesterday. Mind numbingly tedious but the essence of necessary mop work. ——Serial Number 54129 17:29, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Maliner, Queen of Hearts, Sohom Datta, Serial Number 54129: Thanks all. I've been hesitant to devote the time and effort needed for a traditional RfA, as my personal life often interferes in unexpected ways, but I've been considering WP:AELECT if/when that happens. --Ahecht (TALK

Nice to hear this. I will be happy to support you. Best of Luck! Maliner (talk) 20:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

North East Combined Authority talk page[edit]

Hi Ahecht. Thank you for responding to my technical request and moving North East Combined Authority to its current title. There is a little glitch though. The page's talk page redirects to another talk page. As I remember there wasn't much of note on the talk page but maybe you could take a look at it if you get a minute. Many thanks.

@Tammbeck Sorry, I must've accidentally unchecked the "move talk" option. --Ahecht (TALK

British or American[edit]

Hi. I hope you (being American) are neutral and don't reject British English (see: Wikipedia:Neutral point of view); and you didn't fix everything, for example on one page you restored a word I had written in British English, but not the other terms. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JackkBrown I've been trying to restore the status quo, mostly just removing the British English tag and leaving it neutral, and only changing it to American English in a few rare cases where the article had clear Americanisms ("cookie", "flavor", etc.) and no British spellings. I've been trying to leave your British English tag in cases where British spelling was already being used. If I missed a few or misjudged the status-quo, feel free to point it out to me or revert my changes. --Ahecht (TALK

@Ahecht: regarding the other articles I don't know, but is the bruschetta page written ONLY in American English? JacktheBrown (talk) 13:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown, they actually could have used rollback, per WP:ROLLBACKUSE.
Re: Bruschetta, it looks like it's in AmEng except for appetiser, which it looks like you changed from appetizer? Valereee (talk) 13:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Valereee: if the article is written ENTIRELY in American English, "appetiser" is incorrect. But if both English (except "appetiser-appetizer") are used, it's fair to choose which one to use. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:41, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I changed it yesterday; that's why I asked if the article is written entirely (except for that term) in American English. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown, are you asking whether as a native speaker of AmEng, I can confirm that it appears to be written in AmEng? Yes. Maybe as a person whose native tongue is Italian, you should stop changing anything to BrEng. It's disruptive. I feel like I should probably go check all your edits. Which is a huge undertaking, as I am so comfortable with both variants that not everything even jumps out at me. When did you start doing this? Valereee (talk) 14:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Valereee: in fact, I stopped since yesterday. JacktheBrown (talk) 14:15, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good to hear. Do you recall when you started? I really dread the thought of having to check 60,000 edits lol... Valereee (talk) 14:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Valereee: I only did this for Italian foods, it would be sufficient to check them all (see here: List of Italian foods and drinks). JacktheBrown (talk) 14:21, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, is that what you've been working from, thanks! Valereee (talk) 14:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Valereee: just check the most common words ("'flavor", "recognized", "'appetizer" (especially these three), "color", etc.) and get a bot to work, or even Ahecht, which has done a great job so far. JacktheBrown (talk) 14:32, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ahecht, would you like to continue the work? Obviously, I don't want to rush you. JacktheBrown (talk) 14:54, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown I've been working through them slowly when I have downtime. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 19:06, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Valereee Actually, in this case, because AnomieBot went and dated all the tags after they were placed, I can't do a simple rollback (at least not from the Contribs page). As for Bruscetta, as of Special:Permalink/1176284276 it was entirely American English ("appetizer"). --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 19:06, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Should have said 'would be allowed to use'. :D Valereee (talk) 20:33, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Italian foods[edit]

You're doing a great job; you have corrected other things too, thank you very much! Of course I have no doubts about you, but I would like to know if you have deleted only my additions concerning British English or if you have also changed the consolidated English of some articles; thank you very much for your work. JacktheBrown (talk) 22:22, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There have been a few articles where I've come across an earlier switch that I've reverted (such as this 2014 edit to Ossobuco) and a few where I've changed mixed usage to British English to reflect earlier established usage. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 13:31, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, on the bruttiboni page, both the "biscuit" and the "cookie" form are used; what should be done in this situation? I don't intervene in such things, so I'm asking you. JacktheBrown (talk) 17:37, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown In that case, since the first revision used biscuit, British English would stand. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 17:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thank you! I don't know if you're interested, but I'm working on the tartufo page; in my opinion it's not good at all and should be improved. JacktheBrown (talk) 20:05, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is the template correct on the piada dei morti page? I didn't add it. JacktheBrown (talk) 00:50, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown Probably not, as I don't see any spellings in the original version of the article that are indicative of either British or American spellings. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 01:49, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ahecht: what about the ciabatta page? Both "whole-wheat" and "wholemeal" are used. JacktheBrown (talk) 18:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like the whole-wheat version was first: Special:Diff/585979668. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:32, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
could you correct the error? I promised not to intervene again regarding the change of English. JacktheBrown (talk) 21:46, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Should I leave or remove templates that you haven't removed? Examples: canestrelli; cassata. JacktheBrown (talk) 16:39, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown If I left it, it's probably because I thought there was an established use of British English. For example, Canestrelli used "biscuits" from its first revision. I probably didn't remove it from Cassata since it has used "coloured" for a while, but looking at it now it has had "color" and "flavor" for even longer. I'll fix that one. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 17:45, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So should I restore the template on the canestrelli page? JacktheBrown (talk) 17:57, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown Sure, if you want. --Ahecht (TALK

Punchline (fictional character)[edit]

I received your ping, but I only saw it after you had already removed the message with this edit. What was the reason for removing the message? I am fine with withdrawing the request. I should checked more thoroughly first. I was just confused on the back-and-forth with the response being added and then taken down only a few moments later. Aoba47 (talk) 01:33, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had initially replied that nothing had changed with regards to notability, but then almost immediately noticed that the character had had their own limited series since the last AfD and withdrew my statement. --Ahecht (TALK
