You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as the web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the direct/bare URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. — Ирука1323:45, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

From the editors: Editing Wikipedia should not be a crime But not everybody is able to legally read Wikipedia, and not everybody is able to legally edit Wikipedia.
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dengeki PlayStation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Japanese. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the authority 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.
Hi I see you've been replacing the cover images in various articles about magazines with current (November 2024) issues. With these kind of images, one should be wary of a tendency towards recentism, and it is worth bearing in mind that non-free images, such as magazine covers, are liable to be deleted if they are no longer used in WP articles. Particularly in articles about long-running publications, it might be worth considering retaining "historic" covers elsewhere in the article? Letdorf (talk) 19:01, 24 November 2024 (UTC).
(talk page stalker) Thank you for restoring Bike (magazine) cover, and for your comments Letdorf; as it is a short article, it was not possible for me to re-add the bot-removed non-free file, before the admin hid it. It was something I considered, as we do sometimes show old logos in the prose.--82.13.47.210 (talk) 22:16, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
Feedback request: Wikipedia proposals request for comment
Hi @VulcanSphere: "More precise filename" is not a valid file renaming rationale, but harmonization is. Kindly make sure you don't bulk-request renames stating that the new name is slightly better than the other: take at look at WP:FMNN. Regards, Aafi (talk)12:37, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Traffic report: Something Wicked for almost everybody Fighting and killing – on screen, in politics, and in the ring – competes for attention with Disney.
@VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004: Yeah, Vulcan is wondering about this too (as with such acquisition, the terms were not disclosed). Other source such as Variety did not mention the channel being part of the sale either despite the news being filled under TV category (they did mention about Motor Trend+ closure)[1]. So, Vulcan decided to add a note about possibility of WBD retaining MT TV and streaming services and removing MT TV from Hearst template for now. Vulcan❯❯❯Sphere!01:23, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.

Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...
BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.
