 | This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.I've got things going on in my life right now that mean I'm going to be focussing on the fun, stress-reducing aspects of this hobby for a while and actively trying to avoid anything complicated, depressing, demanding, or stressful. If you ping me or leave a message and I don't respond, and then you see I've in the meantime created an entire article about an Asian chili sauce, that's why. |
| Admins: If you think an admin action I've taken recently is wrong or unhelpful, or one I've taken in the past is no longer useful, go ahead and undo or change it without feeling like you have to talk to me first. An explanation in the edit summary is always helpful, but I trust your judgement. |
Need help and don't know where to find it?

I came across this award reviewing a draft and it appears to be a notable award mentioned in several articles. Thought you might be interested in creating an article. See also es:Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. S0091 (talk) 16:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hm, it has an entry in 8 language wikis. Definitely seems worth investigating, thanks! Valereee (talk) 17:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Khelif
[edit]I appreciate that you have only been attempting to mediate; however, intervening so directly has made you WP:INVOLVED. Which I don't think you needed to be. Anyway, cheers. TarnishedPathtalk 14:12, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
- Yep, I think I'm involved at Khelif now, at minimum for this specific content and probably for anything GENSEX. I'd been hoping to avoid it so I could help directly if something like page protection or enforcing the moratorium were necessary, but oh well! I can probably still help with some things under Any reasonable admin -- deal with edit warring on other content there -- and obviously any actual vandalism, but yeah.

- All good. We'll survive. TarnishedPathtalk 14:34, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
Easternsahara's third Topic ban violation
[edit]Hello, i am writing here as @Easternsahara asked me not to write on their wall.This is their third time they are violating the topic ban regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict. as you can see this edit has an ARBPIA template on the page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:JANIP&action=history.
they also probably violated the topic ban as you can see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3A1985_in_Palestine&diff=1330226163&oldid=1327171200,
here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3A1981_in_Palestine&diff=1330226126&oldid=1327171027,
and here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3A1977_in_Palestine&diff=1330225878&oldid=1327171064
by adding the Israel and Palestine templates together, although these pages don't have an ARBPIA template.
Another suspicious edit is this one, that you may have missed, as they deleted my complaint on their talk page. They made an edit request, related to the conflict (They are under topic ban), the edit was done as they requested, then they deleted their edit request. You can see this here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Israeli_settler_violence&diff=1329810067&oldid=1329172034
It seems that, they are not going to stop violating the topic ban.

Welcome to the 2026 WikiCup!
[edit]Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2026 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here, and a bot will set up your submissions page within one day, ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.
For the 2026 WikiCup, the highest-ranking contestants will receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. This is the same scoring system that we had last year. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants are no longer eliminated at the end of each round.
The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
