If you message me here, i will reply here, as that is the logical place, keeping the conversation in one place; in replying, i will ping you, in case you haven't watched this page.

Clarification

If it happens that you have come here thinking you were going to talk with a user called Kahtar, you should know that i am also Kahtar; i use that account to make semi-automated edits, and don't watch the talk page. Feel free to write here, instead.

Question from DessHolliday (22:06, 3 November 2025)

[edit]

Hi! I just posted a question to the John Mulaney talk page regarding an updated image. When you have the time, can you review and give us some pointers?

Thanks so much!

~~ --DessHolliday (talk) 22:06, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DessHolliday, welcome! I'm not certain what sort of pointers you are looking for; you have asked (seconded) a question on that talk page, and the ideal now is to wait and see if anyone has such an image ~ or look actively yourself for a free image of this person and add it to the page. I note that there is a second conversation currently going on there, i haven't followed it up really, though it seems at least tangentially related; i would suggest that Soetermans is a very experienced editor and worth listening to.
Hmm, in case that wasn't helpful, i will repeat the most important thing i wrote in its own paragraph: This is the "DIY encyclopaedia", so i urge you to see if you can find an appropriate free image of John Mulaney to update the page with.
If i can help in any way, please feel free to ask me ~ LindsayHello 15:33, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to point your attention to our account naming policy, as i suspect your name may be contrary to it. I suggest you read the policy at WP:U, particularly the sections at WP:ORGNAME, WP:REALNAME, and WP:MISLEADNAME. It is not impossible for you to edit, though you should probably request a change to the account's name (that can be done at WP:RENAME if you decide to do so. I am adding this both to my talk page (here), where you edited, and to yours, where you'll get a notification. If i can help, please ask ~ LindsayHello 11:00, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Karl WB,E (13:26, 20 November 2025)

[edit]

Hello! I have 3 questions about how to reference correctly.

I am going to add Lemon Demon's album View Monster to the page "List of albums with tracks hidden in the pregap" and I was wondering:

1: Does Wikipedia allow Fandom.com to be used as a reference, all the information is correct, I just don't know if Fandom is in a "Website not to use" list.

2: There is this video ("ALL ABOUT LEMON DEMON'S VIEW MONSTER") and I don't know if I am allowed to use videos like this that have strong language, again however, I can vouch that this video is fully correct in all the information it gives.

3. Does "Date Retrieved" mean what I think it means, the date when you added the reference onto the article?

Sorry if these questions seem a bit silly, I do want to get this right. :) --Karl WB,E (talk) 13:26, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator Elections - Call for Candidates

[edit]

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/December 2025/Candidates.

Here is the schedule:

  • November 25 – December 1 - Call for candidates
  • December 4–8 - Discussion phase
  • December 9–15 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

  • The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
  • Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for admin elections candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
  • The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
  • The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
  • Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

Administrator Elections - Discussion Phase

[edit]

The discussion phase of the December 2025 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • Dec 4–8 - Discussion phase (we are here)
  • Dec 9–15 - SecurePoll voting phase
  • Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/December 2025/Discussion phase.

On December 9, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's totals during the election. You must be extended confirmed to vote.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which typically lasts between a couple days and a week. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (you may want to watchlist this page) and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate who has not been recalled must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and must also have received a minimum of 20 support votes. A candidate that has been recalled must have at least 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Administrator Elections - Voting Phase

[edit]

The voting phase of the December 2025 administrator elections has started and will continue until Dec 15 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/December 2025/Voting phase.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • Dec 9–15 - SecurePoll voting phase
  • Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote has a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for a few days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a non-recall candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Recall candidates must achieve 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").
