A barnstar for you!
The Barnstar of Good Humor
For Outstanding in the Field and super weaner, you magnificent dingus—yeah, sure, you've got insightful, thought-provoking, and sometimes depressing nominations, but you also have hooks that are full-belly-laugh excellent and those are just priceless. Also, I find it personally offensive that this isn't called the "Barnstar of Good Humour". Thanks for making me laugh; cheers!
I aim to please, leek, and this means a lot, so thank you. Gotta have some fun mixed in with the serious – it helps keep me going, and I’m thrilled it lightens your day sometimes too! (And by the way, “magnificent dingus” is quite possibly my favorite thing I’ve ever been called.) ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 17:43, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Ximena Abogabir, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thanks, DGG. It’s good to know there are other sets of eyes on articles I’ve created - quality control is always nice. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 16:26, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
DGG, I have a question about the issue tags you've added to several articles I created. Some of them, like the one on Parley for the Oceans, I think I understand – but I don't understand the motivation for adding {{Cleanup-PR}} to Mar Cambrollé and Fundación Huésped, or {{Advert}} to Outstanding in the Field. I wonder if you might be able to state a reason in the edit summary for future tags, which I believe Twinkle facilitates, or leave a brief note about the tag/issue on the article talk page? This would also help me in cases like Mastery Transcript Consortium, where I believe there might be parts of it that are written like an advertisement but am having trouble seeing exactly which parts those are. (Another way to avoid drive-by tagging is of course to fix the issue yourself.)
More broadly, seeing all these tags added to articles for which I wrote most or all of the content makes me think you see some issue in the way I construct articles more generally. If that's the case, I'd appreciate an explanation so that I can work on improving in the future. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:59, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
I do not look at who wrote the content when I place a tag. I've trained myself to avoid seeing it. I certainly do not remember user names from one article to another--I have always had a poor memory for names, and now it comes in useful.
As for the articles, I'll have to put this off until tomorrow. But I will just say that the existing tags are much too inflexible. It would be much more helpful to write a detailed explanation, and that's possible for a draftify tag, but not for advert or cleanupPR. The problem is that it's too much work considering the number of new articles that must be looked at, so I like other reviewers usually only explain when asked. DGG ( talk ) 07:36, 24 November 2021 (UTC) �
Thanks for the reply, DGG, and for your willingness to provide a bit more explanation – I'll look forward to that. I was mainly wondering because of strings like [1][2][3][4], where you draftified or tagged four articles I had created within as many minutes – but that must be a function of whatever tool you're using for the review, which makes sense. I could've sworn at least some of those had already been reviewed, though? ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 07:45, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
I will now look at them to see if there arecommon problems. DGG ( talk ) 02:29, 25 November 2021 (UTC) �
I still intend to get back here to you. DGG ( talk ) 08:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

WOW. My best-performing DYK nom so far. I’m proud of the hook itself but I’m guessing the photo slot goes a long way to boost clicks, too. Thanks for all the work you’re doing at DYK, theleekycauldron, including these stats tables! ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 02:14, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Helper201, for this message and for your edits to the article! I do like the userbox, and especially the photo in it – something about it makes me smile. Here's to a world more like that. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:00, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
No problem. I'll try and help improve it more if I can but I think you've done a great job on it! Thank you, I found it hard think of what photo to use for the infobox so I'm glad you think this one suits it well. Helper201 (talk) 19:05, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 22nd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter. This issue will be covering new and updated user scripts from the past seven months (June through December 2021).
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Featured script
LuckyRename, by Alexis Jazz, is this month's featured script. LuckyRename makes requesting file moves easier, and automates the many steps in file moving (including automatic replacement of existing usage). Give it a shot!
Updated scripts
SD0001: hide-reverted-edits has been updated to take into account changes in reversion tools like Twinkle and RedWarn.
ClaudineChionh: SkinSwitcher (a fork and update of Eizen's script) provides an options menu/toolbox/toolbar allowing users to view a given page in MediaWiki's default skins.
Wikipedia:User scripts/Ranking is a sortable table of Wikipedia's thousand-or-so most commonly used scripts; it includes their author, last modification date, installation count, and sometimes a short description.
Toolhub is a community managed catalog of software tools used in the Wikimedia movement. Technical volunteers can use Toolhub to document the tools that they create or maintain. All Wikimedians can use Toolhub to search for tools to help with their workflows and to create lists of useful tools to share with others.
draft-sorter sorts AfC drafts by adding WikiProject banners to their talk pages. It supersedes User:Enterprisey/draft-sorter, adding a few features and fixing some bugs.
BooksToSfn adds a portlet link in Visual Editor's source mode editing, in main namespace articles or in the user's Sandbox. When clicked, it converts one {{cite book}} inside a <ref>...</ref> tag block into an {{Sfn}}.
diffedit enables editing directly from viewing a diff "when, for instance, you notice a tiny mistake deep into an article, and don't want to edit the entire article and re-find that one line to fix that tiny mistake".
warnOnLargeFile warns you if you're about to open a very large file (width/height >10,000px or file size >100 MB) from a file page.
QuickDiff (by OneTwoThreeFall at Fandom) lets you quickly view any diff link on a wiki, whether on Recent Changes, contribs pages, history pages, the diff view itself, or elsewhere. For more information, view its page on Fandom.
talkback creates links after user talk page links like this: |C|TB (with the first linking to the user's contributions, and the latter giving the option of sending a {{talkback}} notice). It also adds a [copy] link next to section headers.
diff-link shows "copy" links on history and contributions pages that copy an internal link to the diff (e.g., Special:Diff/1026402230) to your clipboard when clicked.
auto-watchlist-expiry automatically watchlists every page you edit for a user-definable duration (you can still pick a different time using the dropdown, though).
generate pings generates the wikitext needed to ping all members of a category, up to 50 editors (the limit defined by MediaWiki).
share ExpandTemplates url allows for easy sharing of your inputs to Special:ExpandTemplates. It adds a button that, when clicked, copies a shareable URL to your exact invocation of the page, like this. Other editors do not need to have this script installed in order to access the URL generated.
show tag names shows the real names of tags next to their display names in places such as page revision histories or the watchlist.
ColourContrib color-codes the user contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit the page.
All in all, some very neat scripts were written in these last few months. Hoping to see many more in the next issue -- drop us a line on the talk page if you've been writing (or seeing) anything cool and good. Filling in for DannyS712, this has been jp×g. Take care, and merry Christmas! jp×g 07:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I reverted your changes to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Hawaii-related articles. Although the title ali'i is gender neutral, gender specific titles exist in Hawaiian as ali'i wahine and English translation as chiefess or high chiefess are commonly used in most reliable secondary sources of Hawaiian history.
