Hi {{Ping|Davey2010}}, I saw you reverted my changes and I wonder why? Perhaps you have not noticed my comment on the changes. I do not like to start an edit war and kindly ask you to specify what is wrong in your opinion. --[[User:Wolle1303|Wolle1303]] ([[User talk:Wolle1303|talk]]) 21:23, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
:Hi [[User:Wolle1303|Wolle1303]], As far as I'm aware the Vario is mostly known as a bus although agreed not in the Beaver body, I've replaced the image with a better one, Many thanks, –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color:blue;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color:orange;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color:navy;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 21:38, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi {{Ping|Davey2010}}, I asked for the reasons for your revert and you changed a picture instead? I am a little short of time but I did a little research which should have been done by the authors beforehand. Sorry for the delay.
#The Vario may have "mostly been known" as a bus and I suspect you are talking about British made third-party buses opposed to the genuine Mercedes-Benz buses. Given less than 5000 chassis had been sold within the 17 years of production (fr:Wikipedia) this number includes buses, UPS vans, perhaps the mobile post office and any other kind of third-party van imaginable. No clue about the exact number of buses but I prefer to guess 2500, which gives 150 per year for about a dozen bus body builders involved throughout Europe. So, when talking about buses we are talking about 2.5 % of the total Vario production volume, when talking about British bus builders about one third or one fifth of that (another guess).
# There has also been the factory-made Mercedes-Benz buses which range from the "Berliner Wanne" police bus to small coaches (pictured in Viernheim) and commuter buses for narrow/hilly/winding streets. Furthermore, the pictured bus from Krakow/Poland appears to be a used cargo van later converted to a bus. These conversions based on any kind of old, used vans were very common all over eastern Europe. Anyway, among all Varios buses were a clear minority and among them third-party body builders were a minority again at least in continental Europe.
#Therefore, I feel it would be a good idea to decide for a title picture at the end. What is best? The most typical, the most unique or a bus version?
#Btw, is the pictured mobile post office armoured? Wouldn't this be worth to be mentioned?
#Front wheel drive was available for the power heads (810DT).
#I am not sure about classification shemes in North America, the UK and other countries nor which is best to be used here. To my knowledge, full size van is an American term for vans like the Ford E-series which share a maximum of 4.5 tons gross weight with the European Sprinter class. This limit is exceeded by the Sprinter itself (5 - 5.5 t) and Iveco Daily (7 t) in Europe. The Vario's <u>minimum</u> gross weight is almost 5 tons (1996-2001) to 6 tons which made me decide it is bigger than a full size van and cannot be classified as such. The gross weight exceeding 3.5 tons has also been a major reason for declining sales ([http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/index2.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.caradisiac.com%2FMercedes-Vario-la-fin-d-une-histoire-90588.htm]).
#Is the Moralles Traveller a Vario or any kind of a bus or coach? Any proof? This also brought me to the question where has the Vario been sold (outside Europe)?
#What is a MB800? Where is a proof for being a predecessor of the Vario?
#Where is a proof for a CKD production in Alcobendas?
#Is the wheelchair lift related to the genuine Vario bus or to any kind of third-party bus body?
#The text section about engines is confusing, at least for a non-native English speaker like me. Reads like patchwork with a lot of repetitions. I doubt, the 618/818 has had 136 or 150 hp. I doubt, in 2002 there had only been 2 engine choices (100 and 110 kw, acc. to the engines table). Acc. to Mercedes-Benz a 4 litre engine (= OM364) has been available starting from 1996 (for Export?) and a 130 kw option as well ([https://archive.is/20141222002454/http://www.mbgtc.de/Baumuster/Transporter/Vario/v670/?force_sid=42hvmrvv0ncm8m7g7bvsqrp8g6]).
# Additional info: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130528022129/http://www2.mercedes-benz.co.uk/content/unitedkingdom/mpc/mpc_unitedkingdom_website/en/home_mpc/van/home/new_vans/models/vario/vario.flash.html UK Mercedes-Benz Vario] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130512183521/http://tools.mercedes-benz.co.uk/current/vans/brochures/vario.pdf Brochure of June 2011]
My opinion: Most of the Varios were not standard vans or trucks but more or less converted to special applications: Emergency and emergency doctor vans (like the new-born pictured), double/crew cabs for construction, landscaping and others, workshop/control and metering vans (like the Rhein Energie pictured), the short-lived UPS vans, etc. A powerhead was available but the only applications I remember and pretty common were the Ruthmann skip carrier and possibly sales vans. Mercedes-Benz claimed the Fuso Canter to be a successor (imho seen by Daimler as a third or fourth choice after Sprinter, Atego and Unimog). --[[User:Wolle1303|Wolle1303]] ([[User talk:Wolle1303|talk]]) 04:06, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
::[[User:Wolle1303|Wolle1303]] What's your problem ?, You disagreed with the image ... so I changed it. The image isn't of a Plaxton Beaver anymorew hich is what your issue was.
::Inregards to your other questions - No idea - I've only added images to the article
::Anyway if you have issues with the image you're more than welcome to start an rfc.

Hi Davey, you tagged the Poldark entry on Sabrina Bartlett's page as needing a better source because the sources given "Only mentioned as Sabrina Bartlett as Keren Smith in 'Poldark'", what more are you looking for from a source?  I was going to remove the tag but I thought I'd check with you first to see what you had in mind. [[User:Robman94|Robman94]] ([[User talk:Robman94|talk]]) 16:47, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
:Hi [[User:Robman94|Robman94]], To be honest I was hoping there would be a news article I missed that mentioned her in the article itself or failing that credits somewhere, I sort of felt the source used was useless as although the source mentions her it's only as a photo credit so readers wanting to find out more will no doubt be disappointed to learn it's a photo credit mention only but ofcourse others may see it differently,
:Anyway many thanks for coming here first - You're more than welcome to remove it ), Thanks, –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color:blue;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color:orange;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color:navy;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 16:59, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
::I see what you mean, it's not that the sources don't confirm that she played that part in that show, but they don't give much else.  I tend to look at such citations as merely confirming that the statement is true, but no worries, I just did a quick search and have found a news article discussing her role in the show, so I'll use that instead.

::::::You're very welcome.  I used to hate how difficult it was to read articles in edit mode, with all the citation syntax getting in the way, then I saw an article where the syntax was all in the references section, and I've never looked back.

=== Reply tool ===
[[File:Junior Contributor Reply Tool and full page edit completion rate.png|alt=Graph of Reply tool and full-page wikitext edit completion rates|thumb|300px|Completion rates for comments made with the Reply tool and full-page wikitext editing. Details and limitations are in this [https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/wikimedia-research/Discussion-tools-analysis-2020/blob/master/Engagement-Metrics/Reply-Tool-Workflow-Engagement-Metrics.ipynb#Reply-Tool-(Wikitext-and-VE)-vs-Full-Page-Wikitext report].]]
The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/replying|<strong>Reply tool</strong>]] is available at most other Wikipedias. 

* The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|preference]] to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias. 
* It is also available as a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Beta Feature|Beta Feature]] at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias.  If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following [[mw:Topic:W1crei3lyn3mvewc|these simple instructions]].

<strong>Research notes:</strong> 

* As of January 2021, <strong>more than 3,500 editors</strong> have used the Reply tool to post about <strong>70,000 comments</strong>.
* There is preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool.  [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Glossary|Junior Contributors]] who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments that they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/wikimedia-research/Discussion-tools-analysis-2020/blob/master/Engagement-Metrics/Reply-Tool-Workflow-Engagement-Metrics.ipynb#Reply-Tool-(Wikitext-and-VE)-vs-Full-Page-Wikitext]
* The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page.  About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[https://dtcheck.toolforge.org/] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for [[Special:LintErrors]].
* [[File:Венов_дијаграм.svg|30px]] <strong>A large [[w:en:A/B test|A/B test]] will start soon.</strong>[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T252057] This is part of [[mw:Talk pages project/replying#Step%204:%20A/B%20test|the process]] to offer the Reply tool to everyone.  During this test, half of all editors at [[phab:T267382|24 Wikipedias]] (''not'' including the English Wikipedia) will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. Editors at those Wikipeedias can still turn it on or off for their own accounts in [[Special:Preferences]].

=== New discussion tool ===
[[File:New Discussion Tool v1.0.png|thumb|380px|Screenshot of version 1.0 of the [[mw:Talk_pages_project/New_discussion|New Discussion Tool]] prototype.]]

A tag has been placed on [[:TEMSA Safir]], requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
*It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See [[WP:CSD#A1|section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content.
*It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See [[WP:CSD#A3|section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]]. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:TEMSA Safir|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:List of policies|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 {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=TEMSA+Safir|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]].

== Underscores in article titles. ==

Hi! I wanted to let you know that [[Special:Diff/1025488549|this edit]] that you made to [[Eurovision Song Contest 2021]] contained a small mistake; you changed the link [[Go_A]] to [[Go A]], however "Go_A" is the proper way to spell the band name (you can also see that the band's page uses {{T|DISPLAYTITLE}} to make the underscore appear). I don't know what that script is that you used, but it might need to be changed so it actually checks what the display title is of the target article. &horbar;[[User:Jochem van Hees|Jochem van Hees]] ([[User talk:Jochem van Hees|talk]]) 22:26, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Jochem van Hees}}, Whoops my apologies for that - I did do a quick scroll before saving and obviously thought all was fine,  Editors (myself included) occasionally will copy and paste from the URL and unintentionally copy the underscores with it so the script removes the underscores (amongst other things),
:
:Unfortunately there's no easy fix as if "go_a" is not included in the script then editors who copy and paste for instance "go_away" from the URL it would leave the underscores if that makes sense. The best solution I can think of is to add a hidden comment to the name making people aware of the name and intentional underscores, I can't really think of a beter solution as to my knowledge the script cannot be disabled on a page and as I say removing partial words from the script would cause issues too.
:Thank you for making me aware of this and for fixing my mistake I appreciate that, Take care and stay safe, Warm Regards, –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color:blue;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color:orange;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color:navy;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 22:43, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

[[File:Reply Tool A-B test comment completion.png|alt=Junior contributors comment completion rate across all participating Wikipedias|thumb|296x296px|When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. ([https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/ Source])]]

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of [[mw:Talk pages project/Replying|the Reply Tool]].  The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped [[mw:Talk pages project/Glossary|newer editors]] communicate on wiki.  The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.   

The key results were:

* Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were [https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/ more likely] to post a comment on a talk page.
* The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also [https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/ less likely] to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.  

'''Looking ahead'''

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months.  This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to [[phab:T280599|resolve a technical challenge]].  Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the [[phab:T267379|Wikipedias that participated in the study]].  After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.   

You can turn on "Discussion Tools" [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|in Beta Features]] now.  After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion]].

I'm. sorry but it was wrong of me, but I'm happy to just get the topic ban replaced with a block temporarily, as I'll just edit other projects. I went middle ground for us, by removing all my images which were of own work and the low quality ones and replaced it back with all of them. Its easier, better compromise and we can move on.

; Project objectives
* Continue to improve ''Big Brother'' articles to bring them inline with [[MOS:TV]]
** All ''Big Brother'' parent articles should contain {{tl|Infobox television}} and {{tl|Series overview}}, either housed on the article or transcluded from a List of Episodes article, if there is more than one season of the series (see [[Big Brother (American TV series)|''Big Brother'' (American TV series)]] and [[Celebrity Big Brother (British TV series)|''Celebrity Big Brother'' (British TV series)]] for examples).
** All ''Big Brother'' season articles should contain {{tl|Infobox television season}} with the module {{tl|Infobox reality competition season}} (see [[Big Brother Canada (season 9)|''Big Brother Canada'' (season 9)]] for an example).
** The use of {{tl|Episode table}} and {{tl|Episode list}} with episode summaries of 200 words or less, or a general prose summary of 500 words or less, are preferred over other tables or formats (see [[Big Brother 23 (American season)|''Big Brother'' 23 (American season)]] for example).
** Both ''Big Brother'' parent and season articles should follow the general format of articles described at [[MOS:TV]] (see [[Big Brother 21 (American season)|''Big Brother'' 21 (American season)]] for an example).
** Any ''Big Brother'' series containing only one season should use {{tl|Infobox television}}, {{tl|Episode table}}, and {{tl|Episode list}} in its article but '''not''' {{tl|Series overview}} or any other season-specific templates such as {{tl|Infobox television season}} (see ''[[Big Brother: Over the Top]]'' for an example).
** Where possible both ''Big Brother'' parent and season articles should have information regarding production of the series.
* Per [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Big Brother 1 (American season) houseguests|this discussion]] individual seasons of ''Big Brother'' should no longer contain a standalone article of contestants.
* The [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television]] has caused numerous seasons or editions to be cancelled, postponed, or adjusted significantly; any information relating to this can be added in appropriate production sections.

;Community discussions
* Please take time to visit a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Big_Brother#Community_discussions|list of our current community discussions]] and participate.
** [[Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Television#Standardized_terms_for_elimination-style_reality_program_progress_tables|Discussion regarding standardization of terms used in progress tables]].
** [[Wikipedia:Notability (television)]] is currently being drafted regarding the notability of television series, seasons and episodes.

* It has been requested that the following articles have episode summary sections
** [[Celebrity Big Brother 3 (UK)]] - since August 25, 2006
** [[Big Brother (Australia series 1)]] - since September 14, 2006
** [[Big Brother (Australia series 2)]] - since September 14, 2006
** [[Big Brother (Australia series 3)]] - since September 14, 2006
** [[Big Brother (Australia series 4)]] - since September 14, 2006

==Unwanted pings==
Noticed on the ANI thread you getting annoyed with unwanted pings from a now blocked user. I had a similar situation awhile back, and was happy to find there is a good solution for that: if you go into your preferences -> notifications, at the very bottom is a box for "Muted users."  Add the names of any users here you don't want to receive notifications, including pings from.

I appreciate your support and trust in my recent run for admin. Thank you for the very nice compliment you paid me in your support. I've had an interesting first few weeks and am learning a lot by being able to better watch (through tools) what admins do. Please call on me if you see making an error, or if you just need help. Thanks again. [[User:BusterD|BusterD]] ([[User talk:BusterD|talk]]) 18:03, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
:Hey [[User:BusterD|BusterD]], You're very welcome, Congratulations on your RFA! :), As I said at the RFA you're a fantastic editor and without a single doubt in my mind you'll make a fantastic admin,
:FWIW just some helpful advice but if you ever make a mistake as admin - Don't worry about it - It's not the end of the world, What ever mistake you make can easily be undone. Anyway congrats again, Happy blocking! :) –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color:blue;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color:orange;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color:navy;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 20:40, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
::It's humorous to me that I undid my very first block because I felt the contributor was attempting to discuss but had made their attempts hard to find or poorly timed.

[[File:Ambox warning blue.svg|35px|text-top|left|⚠|link=]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Sam FM Bristol logo.png]]'''.

== Replaceable fair use File:1980 West Midlands Fire Service Dennis Dart.jpg ==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|32px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:1980 West Midlands Fire Service Dennis Dart.jpg]]'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]]. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]]. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:File:1980 West Midlands Fire Service Dennis Dart.jpg|the file description page]] and add the text {{Tlx|Di-replaceable fair use disputed|&lt;your reason>}} '''below''' the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <code>&lt;your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
# On [[File talk:1980 West Midlands Fire Service Dennis Dart.jpg|the file discussion page]], write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Davey2010&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]].  If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:di-replaceable fair use-notice --> [[User:Stefan2|Stefan2]] ([[User talk:Stefan2|talk]]) 11:45, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
==Disputed non-free use rationale for File:1980 West Midlands Fire Service Dennis Dart.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:1980 West Midlands Fire Service Dennis Dart.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F7|section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

:Hi [[User:ToBeFree|~ ToBeFree]], Thank you so much and I wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and safe New Year,
:I'm sorry for the comment but for a very long time I've hated people copying the xmas template word for word... it does my head in, So when I saw them change "PLEASE DON'T COPY THIS TEMPLATE WORD FOR WORD - BE CREATIVE!, THANKS, Davey2010 :)" to their name it[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ronhjones&diff=prev&oldid=1061752888] .... yeah my blood pressure hit the roof!.
:It may seem stupid getting irate over something so trivial as a Crimbo template but when you've put work, effort and care into it just to see someone copypaste it and then seemingly deciding to take the credit for it ... yeah I don't appreciate things like that,
:Thank you for not indeffing me although lets face it I should've been, There's no excuse for that vulgar word and I sincerely apologise for using it. You're a kind person ToBeFree and I appreciate you not doing what any other admin would've done, Sorry for the comment and sorry you had to see it, Anyway I hope you have a lovely Christmas and New Year, Warm Regards, –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color:#147A44;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color:#C4061C;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color:#147A44;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 21:09, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
::What did you expect, an indef for Christmas? [[File:Face-smile.svg|18px|link=|alt=🙂]] It took me a while to see the thought process behind the message. While the reaction is an individual one, I can understand what led to it.
::<small><small>The ideal target of an apology in this case isn't me though... :) I see such words often enough not to be surprised angered by them either.</small></small>

:::Certainly would've topped off the crap year that's for sure! :), You're far too kind ToBeFree far too kind. Seems unreal to think 2011 was a whole 10 years ago now, Only today me and the family were talking about me being a kid, memories etc and now I'm a man-child lol, 2021 really has just flown by, Anyway Take care and all the best for 2022, –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color:#147A44;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color:#C4061C;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color:#147A44;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 22:15, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

::::{{u|Liz}} - Picture this - You make a christmas template which you put a lot of effort and care into, spent a few hours working with the coding, colours etc .... You add hidden messages encouraging people not to copy it word-for-word and you copypaste that hidden message like 5-6 times within that template hoping someone wouldn't copypaste it word for word. You then come across [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ronhjones&diff=prev&oldid=1061752888 this] where not only has it been copied word-for-word but also that person's replaced your name with theirs (giving the impression they created it all themselves) - How would you feel in all honestly ?,
::::Obviously no one with an ounce of sense would ever say what I did but you wouldn't be happy would you in all honestly ?,
::::Certainly not justifying what I said but in some respects you can sort of see where I'm coming from and sort of understand why I reacted the way I did,
::::I dunno maybe I care too much, Maybe I shouldn't care as much as I do but it just seems so disrespectful to replace usernames implying it was all their work, –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color:#147A44;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color:#C4061C;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color:#147A44;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 22:28, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
:::::I think it's not that clear-cut. To me personally, the text modification (in the linked case, to reflect the posthumous nature of the greetings) did seem to address your HTML comment request. And [[Special:Diff/1061754401]] went even further with personalizing the greeting text.
:::::To probably most editors, and honestly even to my CSS-enthusiast¹ self, the text is the central thing; it's Wikipedia after all, where everything revolves around text and images are decoration. So taking your CSS and adhering to the wish expressed in the HTML comment by replacing the text as individually as possible doesn't seem to be an evil thing to do. Not even really tactless in my personal opinion.
:::::Of course people sign greetings with their own signature. Yet the source of the template was publicly attributed with a link to [[User:Davey2010/MerryChristmas]], even in the visible text. Not bad?
:::::<small>¹I mean, I wore the CSS of my userpage on a t-shirt, beat this.</small> [[User:ToBeFree|~ ToBeFree]] ([[User talk:ToBeFree|talk]]) 01:46, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
::::Thanks for noticing and asking, {{u|Liz}}; I was sure Davey2010 would return after a few hours after their message, look at it again, see it deleted, know how to check who did that and <em>then</em> notice that my Christmas greetings have been sent <em>after</em> the deletion. Seemed like the ideal way to start a discussion without throwing accusations at anyone, as I lacked the context.

== RFA 2021 Completed ==

<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#eaffea; width:99%; padding:4px">
The 2021 re-examination of RFA has been completed. 23 (plus 2 variants) [[WP:RFA2021/P|ideas]] were proposed. Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular {{noping|Primefac}}, {{noping|Lee Vilenski}}, and {{noping|Ymblanter}} for closing the most difficult conversations and for {{noping|TonyBallioni}} for closing the review of one of the closes. 

The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
#Revision of standard question 1 to {{tqq|Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?}} Special thanks to {{noping|xaosflux}} for help with implementation.
#A new process, [[WP:XRV|Administrative Action Review]] (XRV) designed to review if an editor's specific use of an advanced permission, including the admin tools, is consistent with policy in a process similar to that of [[WP:DRV|deletion review]] and [[WP:MRV|move review]]. Thanks to all the editors who contributed (and are continuing to contribute) to the discussion of how to implement this proposal. 
#Removal of [[WP:AUTOP|autopatrol]] from the administrator's toolkit. Special thanks to {{noping|Wugapodes}} and {{noping|Seddon}} for their help with implementation.

The following proposals  were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:
#An option for people to run for temporary adminship (<small>[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2021_review/Proposals#Closed:_6E_Initial_probationary_term_(optional)|proposal, discussion, & close]]</small>)
#An optional election process (<small>[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2021_review/Proposals#Closed:_8B_Admin_elections|proposal & discussion]] and [[Special:Diff/1061827000#Close_review_at_Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2021_review/Proposals,_please|close review & re-close]]</small>)

Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at [[WT:RFA|RFA's talk page]] or an appropriate [[WP:VP|village pump]]. 

'''A final and huge thanks''' all those who participated in this effort to improve our RFA process over the last 4 months.
