Widespread phenomenon on the dark web but hasn't received much attention just yet (besides those researchers cited). Will shelve this and wait for a more opportune time. Aurangzebra (talk) 02:49, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

The future of slurs

edit

Hi, it seems that your proposal on the discussion on Talk:Pejorative did not result in any changes. While my comment could be taken as critical, I actually agree that it's very unfortunate that Wikipedia does not have more content on slur as a concept. I think I'd suggest to make a subsection on either Pejorative or Insult (which I believe is in line with the other comments), and if the sources make the importance clear and give content to a big subsection, maybe that will one day initiate a discussion leading to a better organization. I'd be open to contribute but it's not at the core of things I usually work with, but I do have a little interesting in swearing and its linguistic properties, but not exactly sources at hand. In any case, I just wanted to show my appreciation of your concerns! --//Replayful (talk | contribs) 16:55, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Replayful: Hey, thanks for the kind words! And after reading the comments, I agree that it doesn't make sense to have pages for Insult, Pejorative, and Slur. I think I'll do some research and contribute a subsection to one of those pages. I am not a slur expert off the top of my head so there could plausibly not be a lot on it but, if there is, we can definitely reassess organization as you suggest.

Minor edits

edit

  Hi, I noticed you marked an edit to Montreal as minor, but it wasn't. "Minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thanks. — W.andrea (talk) 17:10, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ah, sorry about that. Thanks for the heads up! Aurangzebra (talk) 18:10, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Kim Ye-ji (sport shooter)

edit

On 4 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kim Ye-ji (sport shooter), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Kim Ye-ji's performance in the 10 meter air pistol at the 2024 Summer Olympics led her to be dubbed the "coolest person on the planet"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kim Ye-ji (sport shooter). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Kim Ye-ji (sport shooter)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited World and Olympic records set at the 2024 Summer Olympics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Martin Vlach. 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.)

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

edit

Greetings friend, Just wanted to let you know, I saw your recent edits on the Texas Chain Saw Massacre and it looks pretty nice. I have been working on expanding the article in a separate userspace so I can work uninterrupted. So far it has been going well though I have slowed down a little. Eventually I will get around to completing it and transfering it into the userspace but it will be a good long while until that happens. If you are interested in helping or anything feel free to reach out. Happy editing. Paleface Jack (talk) 02:54, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Fartcoin

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Fartcoin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 00:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
