Disambiguation link notification for February 13[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Miralem Pjanić, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Champions League (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Bruno Baião[edit]

The article Bruno Baião has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article concerns a youth-team footballer who died at the age of 18, and who fails the football-specific notability guideline by never having played in a fully professional league or in senior international football, and about whom there is little significant media coverage.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Sources for biographies of living people[edit]

I've just removed your addition of Petro Poroshenko's interests in funeral homes as the source you provided doesn't fit the profile of a reliable source. I have no problems with reinstating this information (and copyediting the entry for grammatical structure) if you can provide another reliable source for verifiability.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open![edit]

Hello, Żyrafał. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia[edit]

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jónas Egilsson[edit]

Thanks for your article on Jónas Egilsson on the Polish Wikipedia. It was nicely done, especially considering you don’t speak Icelandic and yet worked all that info from the Icelandic sources. I’ve just translated your article into English. It’s wonderful to see the connections between different countries and languages on Wikipedia. Keep up the good work. – Krun (talk) 13:30, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

February 2020[edit]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Fourth-wave feminism.

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay[edit]

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede 66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Block appeal[edit]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Żyrafał (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 5.173.4.240. I am an experienced Polish Wikipedia editor, haven't done any destructive items on the English Wikipedia. Żyrafał (talk) 23:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline as you're not directly blocked, so you can edit from this account on other IPs, and it's such a pain to lift a proxy block that I will instead advise you to go to WP:IPECPROXY and follow the directions there to request IP block exemption by email. — Daniel Case (talk) 07:25, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Żyrafał (talk) 23:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Daniel Case: I am blocked as I am unable to edit. It ends ~~in a while, so I am going to pass on that~~ tomorrow, so I am going to follow that procedure, thanks. I don't have other IP I can edit from, however my IP changes and I have no control over it. Żyrafał (talk) 08:09, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good. In your request you should point out how long you've been editing in good standing, both here and at plwiki. Daniel Case (talk) 18:50, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: Oh, I have already written the request, but did not mention exactly how long have I contributed. I have not gotten any feedback though. Żyrafał (talk) 18:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, unfortunately, I have learned, the checkusers who have to review it generally take their time because of all the other things they have to do that usually get priority.

I could do it, of course, but the current process exists because some time ago an admin or admins were too generous with it to the detriment of the project. Daniel Case (talk) 18:57, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: the block ends tomorrow morning anyway, so I guess they will not manage to review my case before that. Żyrafał (talk) 20:33, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, those proxy blocks are often reimposed periodically for short times, too. Daniel Case (talk) 20:34, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: So is it possible that I'll get an exemption even if I am not blocked anymore by then? Żyrafał (talk) 22:29, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, it seems I got it as I can edit normally. Żyrafał (talk) 22:34, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IP block exempt[edit]

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking for a period of 1 year. If you still need an IP block exemption after it expires please file a new request. This will allow you to edit the English Wikipedia through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions. Inappropriate usage of this user right may result in revocation. I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 20:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DatGuy: thank you. However, I have recently moved abroad (after requesting the exemption), so the problem may no longer occur. Anyway, it is great to have that right. Żyrafał (talk) 22:58, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
