Note on Arb Enforcement blocks

Your unblock here was out of process, as only a clear consensus at WP:AE or WP:AN can overturn an arbitration enforcement block. In this circumstance I don't have any issue with the unblock, but you should reach out about such unblocks since it's one of those things with Any administrator who revokes or changes a contentious topic restriction out of process (i.e. without the above conditions being met) may, at the discretion of the Arbitration Committee, be desysopped.¹ attached to it, like wheel-warring.

Again, to be perfectly clear, I'm not complaining about the unblock and I am fine with it, I just wanted to make sure you were aware. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:18, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I didn't spot that and thought it was just a regular block. Will look out for that next time! — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:08, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, how do I create my page?? --Iamgiselesilva (talk) 18:20, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

What do you want to write about? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:26, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Olamiju Aduroja (19:25, 2 June 2024)

Hello , I am Olamiju please how can I add up picture to my article --Olamiju Aduroja (talk) 19:25, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

If you are writing about yourself, then I would kindly ask you not to (see WP:COI) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 04:43, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Siralex1973 (19:40, 4 June 2024)

hi martin, i want to public this page: Draft:One for the Mockingbird I don't undestand why it hasn't be accepted.

Can you help me please? --Siralex1973 (talk) 19:40, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi there. The reasons for non-acceptance can be seen on the page: This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Most songs will not meet Wikipedia's requirements of notability, so you need to provide several in-depth references to prove this — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

hi Martin, i don't understand why this page One for the Mockingbird was a redirect to this page Broadcast (Cutting Crew album). --Siralex1973 (talk) 19:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Because it was a song from that album? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:31, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Template:WikiProject Korea has positional parameters

I just noticed that Template:WikiProject Korea has positional parameters but isn't yet tracked in Category:Pages using WikiProject banner templates with positional parameters. Gonnym (talk) 22:18, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

I don't think they were actually used for anything, so have just removed from the template — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:29, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Template:Counter-Vandalism Unit/fpage

I noticed Template:Counter-Vandalism Unit/fpage has escaped detection of Category:Custom class masks of WikiProject banners. Not sure if needed. Gonnym (talk) 08:54, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

It's not a custom mask - seems to be more like {{pagetype}}. I've replaced with _PAGETYPE_ which should do the job better — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:00, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Question about Template:WPBS

How does Module:Wikiproject banner inherit the class parameter from WPBS? I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue I'm having on another wiki. If the WPBS has a class, the project banner comes up unassessed. Yesterday, I exported the latest diffs of each module, and 99% of it works out of the box, but it's not inheriting...it's coming up as Unassessed-Class. –Fredddie™ 04:50, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

We are using Module:Template parameter value. You can see the code at Module:WikiProject banner#L-81 — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 05:15, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from SigNbol (02:35, 17 June 2024)

How do I upload a new picture? --SigNbol (talk) 02:35, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Is this a picture you have taken yourself? If so, head to commons:Special:UploadWizard and follow the steps — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 05:14, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

The da Vinci Barnstar

		The da Vinci Barnstar
		For leading the process of re-designing WP:Vital articles. I thought that this was the most appropriate barnstar. Great job and thanks for all your help on making the changes happen! Aszx5000 (talk) 09:56, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Well thanks a lot. But without you nothing would have happened — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:33, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

WP:WEEKND

Hello MSGJ, first I wondering if it was possible for you to email me the history of WP:WikiProject The Weeknd so that I don't go through a lot of trouble when the time recreate it comes. Secondly, is there a way I can try to recreate it or even propose it for approval? — dxneo (talk) 14:46, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Actually I don't quite get it. One user told me the WikiProject was deleted due to low number of participants and because it was abandoned but I when I recreated it, I put my everything into it and gathered enough experienced editors to help. Looking WP:WikiProject Sia and WP:SZA, I fail to understand how The Weeknd failed and they are still afloat. This is really not fair sir. — dxneo (talk) 20:54, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Urhokpota (02:17, 24 June 2024)

Hi --Urhokpota (talk) 02:17, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Contacting admins listed as recently active

Could I request a look at the interventions of User:Maurnxiao in Talk:2024 United Kingdom general election, sections Infobox, Muslim Vote, and Workers Party.

A member of less than a week (although his very first post was challenging the status of sources as reliable, making me suspect he has been active under a different identity), entirely unaccepting of the principle of consensus, determined to see a level of coverage of one political party that is disproportionate to that given by mainstream news sources. Highly disruptive, unwilling to accept that his preference is not grounds to change the approach taken by the article. Time sensitive issue (election is in 10 days), so a quicker intervention would be desirable. Is seeking a topic ban suitable, or is some other solution more suitable.

With thanks. Kevin McE (talk) 08:30, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

I don't have time to look at this now, but if urgent then I suggest you post to WP:ANI without delay — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

He is beating a dead horse as I had already accepted and acknowledged the consensus. Maurnxiao (talk) 10:42, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @MSGJ, matter now seems closed, although quite where he had acknowledged the consensus is unclear. Kevin McE (talk) 11:31, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
