I saw you are the one that most often responds to portal questions so I thought I would just ask you. How long does a portal need to be receiving regular updates before it can be submitted as a featured portal? ] hadn't been updated for a while and I am in the process of updating it and have gotten positive results from several of the US related projects to submit content on a regular basis so within the next month or so we should have it set and be on a regular schedule. if you have any other advice for this portal that would be greatly appreciated as well. I think for the most part the portal is solid it just needs some updated content but I am rather new to portal stuff so Im not 100% sure of the requirements. --] (]) 15:45, 19 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

Hi again! Thanks for that re-direct. Unfortunately, it was the wrong one, because I made a mistake, which probably confused you. The old company name and the current article name is ] (with one "l", not Wall-Mart with two, which I wrote). The article name should be ] (one "l" and without a hyphen), as that's how the company writes its name since 2008. | |||
{{Col-2}} | |||

What confused things, is that my two misspellings (Wall-Mart and Wallmart) already exist as redirects to ], Obviously, the ] redirect isn't semi-protected, as you pointed out, but ] is. | |||

:''] '' | |||
Dear Wikimedian, | |||
Please take a look at the response to your comments from me and from another user at ]. I am a longtime Misplaced Pages editor and I edit under my own real-life identity, so I don't like to have unpleasant allegations about me just sit there unanswered. I am not in the habit of filing frivolous SPI as a weapon in content disputes, but I hope I would file one against a suspect user on my own side of a content argument, if a new account showed up brandishing arguments of someone recently banned. You mention my content disagreement with Red Stone Arsenal at ], so let me call your attention to my praise of Gilabrand and GabrielF there who were on the opposite side of the dispute from me. Far from trying to run them off Misplaced Pages, I expressed gratitude and admiration for their hard work and forbearance. ] (]) 12:19, 25 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Your response on my talk page explains why you considered the SPI "meritless." I have no complaint against your calling it "meritless," although the blocked account I thought was the same as Red Stone Arsenal is Rym Torch for whom behavioral not checkuser evidence was definitive. My complaint is instead the over-the-top ] you publicly offered to account for my not knowing enough to search the SPI archive for previous cases involving Red Stone Arsenal: "Since Red Stone Arsenal and you have opposing POV at Start-up Nation, I really believe that you use the sockpuppetry case to try and assassinate his character." I feel that leaving such a comment on my talk page does more to "assasinate" my character than the SPI that you object to and I would like you to redact that over-the-top PA from my talk page. I have an opposing POV with lots of people at lots of articles; if I went around filing fake SPIs as a way to blacken people's characters, I would be a lot more familiar with SPI methods than I am. ] (]) 19:27, 25 May 2011 (UTC) | |||
::I don't see where OU accused you of attempted character assassination, which would be a pretty serious charge. As you are in a content dispute with the other editor, and filing a sockpuppet report on the editor you are in a dispute with, it could possibly be viewed as an attempt to intimidate another editor into conceding in the dispute, or abandoning it. On the other hand, if you sought advice beforehand and was encouraged by ] as suggested by ], then you can't be faulted for proposing the investigation, and I can't agree that your request was frivolous, I think your reasoning was plausible when you described the behavior that led to your report. I would take your word that you were unaware of the prior investigations, SPI can be overwhelming to someone who isn't used to it (it was to me when I first used it). One last thing to note, is that it is your choice to disclose your real life identity, and when you do so you have the added inconvenience of having your on-wiki behavior tied to your real life identity. That means that at times you will have unpleasant allegations against you, it's inevitable. That's also why most editors (myself included) choose to edit the project anonymously. It doesn't provide you any added protection. -- ''']'''] 22:29, 25 May 2011 (UTC) | |||

::@<u>Ohana</u>: Hi. I'm not sure whether you'd noticed, but I re-opened the AN/I thread. I apologize for not informing you of that earlier; it was careless not to, so sorry for that... Also, I'd like to just reassure you that despite some of the harsh remarks that have been made there, that's just so much hot air. People get their knickers in a twist over inflammatory words, but no one is interested in finding fault with you in any negative or morally judging sense. Betsy made a mistake in not knowing how to search for a pre-existing case. In your understandable frustration you made a mistake about her motives and growled when it wasn't called for. This is no big deal in itself; it only becomes one if those remarks stick around for opponents to cite for the next five years, whenever she files an SPI that someone doesn't like. If you don't think that will occur, btw, then you can feel thankful that you're not interested in editing articles that touch on Mideast politics. I can tell you with near 100% certainty that it will, if the comments aren't at least struck through. That's the reason I felt I had to re-open the thread: It's just not right that she should have to live with that albatross around her neck when she only did what we all should do, try to help keep the socks from jamming up the gears here. | |||

::The conflict is pretty ironic, really: You and betsy are actually very much committed to the same goal. You only fell afoul of one another, as I see it, because the sharp spike in throwaway accounts that we've seen in the I/P area recently has put everyone's nerves rather on edge, and caused a predictable collision. Specifically, I mean a collision between the actions of editors in trying to deal with that influx and the need for checkusers to keep the volume manageable and to respond to the corresponding spike in reports that return a "not related" outcome. I wonder if you're aware, though, that some days in the Israel/Palestine topic area, it honestly looks like one out every four or five editors one encounters are socks, and that around half of those look almost precisely like Red Stone Arsenal in their contribution history? It's just extremely frustrating, and we're frankly at a loss to know how to address the problem. | |||

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
- Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
- Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
- Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
- Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
- Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
- Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
- Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
- Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
- Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
- Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
- Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
- Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
- Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
- Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
- Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
- Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
- Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Do you know if these are the mobile labs operated by the Arctic Research Foundation. They are up near the CHARS and I think I saw another by the North Warning Site. If they are the labs then pictures from inside would be useful as well. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:43, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

- No I don't. I was driving by the other day and noticed them. I just checked from the airport and I can see another at the NWS site. Due to work I haven't seen anyone from CHARS to ask. By the way. I've never been to Bloody Falls. Every time I was in Kug during the summer we just went to the islands. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 14:44, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Quick follow up. Those blue containers are likely mobile labs. A whole bunch of people are working on this (DFO, USA, Norway). Logistics are supported by DFO, ARF and POLAR. The scientists are gathering baseline oceanographic data and looking at marine ecosystem structure around Dolphin and Union Strait and Larsen Sound.

- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

RFC Notice
Hello, this notice is for everyone who took part in the March 2024 AfD on lists of airline destinations. I have started a new RfC on the subject. If you would like to participate please follow this link: Misplaced Pages talk:What Misplaced Pages is not § RfC on WP:NOT and British Airways destinations.

Please stop using AI slop articles as sources, as you did at CRV7. The source you cited says that this rocket equipped the Harrier GR7, which was retired in 2011. Hence according to it the United Kingdom should be in the "Former operators" section, not the "current" one. I have replaced the article you cited with a WP:RS for the United Kingdom entry, and removed the citation for the United States entry. Thank you. BilletsMauves 16:27, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
