Sep 30: Wikimedia NYC Annual Election Meeting
[edit]| Annual Election & Members Meeting | |
|---|---|
 You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our Annual Election & Members Meeting, in-person at Prime Produce in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan and also via Zoom. The Members' Meeting is similar to other WikiWednesday meetups, except that its primary function is to elect new members to the Board of Directors. We will elect three board seats – half of the elected seats on the board – and the elected board can appoint up to five more board members. As part of the Members Meeting, we will also focus on the Wikimedia NYC Programs Plan for the coming year, the Financial Report, and how to participate in our chapter member committees for Tech and Engagement.

Agni Deo Singh Birth Year and Age
[edit]@Discospinster Dear Discospinster, This is about Agni Deo Singh's birth year. He was born on 27 April 1956. I wanted to correct it. After I Corrected it, it was changed back to 1965 or 1966. I'm new to Wikipedia editing so if possible, please change it thanks. Dottedseaside0 (talk) 22:35, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

edit on geometry dash

SolarEdge in need of a reliable source
[edit]Hey, I saw you reverted my edit on the SolarEdge page. Is there any way you could leave part of what I said up? There isn't much documentation about why SolarEdge is such a terrible company yet, I'm hoping to start creating some. As someone who is in the midst of being screwed by SolarEdge, I'd consider myself a primary source, I was the case study who had my RMA held up for 2 months. I'd upload a screenshot of the inverter / battery error log showing unlabeled error codes, but that would be a screenshot of software which is not allowed.
Thanks. ARDKing (talk) 02:09, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
- There needs to be reliable secondary sources, not Reddit posts and personal complaints. ... discospinster talk 02:11, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
Is a news article a reliable secondary source? I can't imagine any books have been written on the topic yet. I don't want to go dig up some more sources for them to be shot down. What should I be looking for?
- Yes, a news article reporting on the complaints against the company would be a reliable source. ... discospinster talk 02:19, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
Traditional names
[edit]You mentioned traditional names are not used in Wikipedia. Not allowing traditional names for Aboriginal people reinforces loss of culture caused by colonisation. The importance of using traditional names is covered in the film (so as not to call the deceased's spirit back from the dead). The credit for the film uses the traditional name. Arts culture editor (talk) 23:52, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
- The sources in the Tom Murray article only refer to Lewis as Tom E. Lewis. ... discospinster talk 00:01, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Apologies for creating a second thread. I'm getting a system error on the original.
Balang died on 10 May 2018. The source you are referring to is from 2017. The film took many years to make.

Undeletion request for Draft: Scary unknow Wiki
[edit]Hello! I noticed that you recently deleted my draft, Draft:Scary unknow Wiki. I would like to continue working on this topic. This is Not a test page. Could you please restore the draft, move it to my sandbox or move it ("userfy" it) to my userspace at User:AzureYTStreams/Scary unknow Wiki so I can continue working on it? This is a work of fiction that I created on my own. I was only able to click a 'Publish' button which I read meant it was still not made public. I am meaning to save this as a draft, this work is not close to completion. Thank you for your time! ~~~~ AzureYTStreams (talk) 20:57, 3 October 2026 (UTC)
- Hi there, the draft space and user space are for things that are directly related to Wikipedia, they are not a place to write stories. There are plenty of sites on the Internet where you can do this, such as Wattpad and Archive of Our Own. ... discospinster talk 21:31, 3 October 2026 (UTC)
Ok thanks for that information. Please either temporarily restore my draft or move it to my sandbox so I can copy what I've already written and then you can re-delete tomorrow. Please. I put a lot of time into writing that. Thank you.
- I have moved it to User:AzureYTStreams/Scary unknow Wiki for the time being, and it will be deleted again after tomorrow (4 Oct). ... discospinster talk 21:52, 3 October 2026 (UTC)
Thank you soooooooooo much! And that is perfectly fine.

Cooper Norcross Health page
[edit]Hi,
I noticed that you changed the Cooper University Hospital page title to Cooper Norcross Health (Cooper Norcross Health), which is not quite correct. Cooper University Hospital became Cooper Norcross University Hospital. It is just one part of the larger, multi-hospital Cooper Norcross Health (formerly Cooper University Health Care) system. As the content of the current page refers to only to the one Camden hospital, it should be renamed Cooper Norcross University Hospital -OR- the content should speak about the entire health system. For reference, this page contains information on the health system and its four hospitals: https://www.cooperhealth.org/about-us
I work in the Cooper Norcross Health Communications and Marketing Department, and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you.
Terese Vekteris | AVP, Communications and Digital Strategy | Cooper Norcross Health ~2026-54239-36 (talk) 16:38, 8 October 2026 (UTC)
- I was going by what's on that web page, which says "Cooper University Health Care is now Cooper Norcross Health". The website on the Wikipedia page is also for Cooper Nocross Health. ... discospinster talk 17:52, 8 October 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm not the Cooper Norcross Health person above, but I believe this edit to have been a misunderstanding. The article originally described a particular hospital, not the hospital network which it is a part of. When Cooper University Health Care (the network) became Cooper Norcross Health, Cooper University Hospital became Cooper Norcross University Hospital. The article should be called Cooper Norcross University Hospital. The website linked on the article should maybe be https://www.cooperhealth.org/locations/cooper-university-hospital rather than https://www.cooperhealth.org/. Since this edit, other edits have been made reinforcing this mistake, so additional changes will be necessary at this point beyond just renaming the article. The Cooper Norcross Health health system is probably also notable enough to have an article of its own at this point, which might resolve some of this confusion. ~2026-59735-80 (talk) 04:55, 11 November 2026 (UTC)

Sorry
[edit]Hi Disco. I’m sorry if I was a bit blunt back then on my talk page. I saw something that needed fixing so I went ahead and fixed it but I should have left an edit summary. Sorry about that.Western Liberal for Life (talk) 23:07, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

- What’s an edit summary?Western Liberal for Life (talk) 23:14, 9 October 2026 (UTC)
- See WP:EDITSUMMARY for an explanation. It's usually at the bottom of the editing window, or could also pop up when you click "Publish changes". It's a spot to say a few words about what you changed and why. You've used it once already here. ... discospinster talk 00:28, 10 October 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for help with temporary username reverting without explanation
[edit]Thanks for your help with Tularosa, New Mexico. After twice being reverted by the temporary username with no explanation, I was drafting a message on the article's talk page to avoid having some kind of continued back and forth.
was going to ping|~2026-55079-42
- I removed the 2021 traffic arrest because it doesn’t appear to meet the threshold for inclusion in a settlement article. Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:UNDUE, this criminal/traffic incident didn't receive sustained, significant coverage or had a lasting effect on the community. It also names private individuals in connection with a crime, which WP:BLPCRIME advises against. My removal has been reverted twice without an edit summary. If you think the material belongs, could you explain why here? I’ll leave the article as is pending discussion.
In 20 years of editing, I've probably only had about 10 hostile incidents, so I wasn't even sure how best to handle this time. --SidP (talk) 23:49, 14 October 2026 (UTC)

- I haven't seen the social media pages because all it says is "This content isn't available right now." And if it's a personal social media page restricted from view to only certain people, then it's not public and can't be used as a source. ... discospinster talk 02:45, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Do you actually believe "in the eigth round" was correct, with that spelling?
If you wanted to make a substantive edit, as you did, you should not use edit reversion as the vehicle to do that, especially not with an incorrect edit summary like "not a typo". TJRC (talk) 17:26, 6 November 2026 (UTC)
- No, that was an error on my part, I was meaning to revert the edit before yours (which wasn't a typo). ... discospinster talk 18:30, 6 November 2026 (UTC)

London tornado reverted edit
[edit]Hi, can you explain this reversion you made? I reverted a disruptive edit which simply added a nonsensical sentence, then you reverted my edit saying it was original research, when it removed a sentence? I assume this was a mistake, no worries if so… just confused me. Sunshinezguy (talk) 16:24, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
- It was an edit conflict, I clicked the button right after you edited, and I reverted my reversion right after. ... discospinster talk 16:26, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
- Fine, we were both reverting the same thing I guess. Cool, feel free to remove this thread. Sunshinezguy (talk) 16:27, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Pulse Tasmania detail & expansion explanation
[edit]Outlet has had substantial run-ins with the newscycle the last 12-24 months, which for an outlet of its size and in comparison to the other outlets (and their controversies) justifies the detailing. Would however likely require an expansion of general context to balance out the reporting from these outlets. Some information could be condensed.
