Hello Eddie891, I have just now created this account but did some editing on Wiki around 5 years ago. I use the encyclopedia often but am retired and my usage is leisurely. I was reading the Human Migration page. While there's a lot of good information, the page needs a major revamping. There are contradictions between the sections, the logic is weak, and there's a jumble of conflicting definitions. The result is confusion. I checked the 'talk' on this page, and found that back in 2015/17 someone else made similar points. They suggested a "Merge". I suggest a reshuffle and cutting. The topic needs to be precisely defined, logical connection between sections made, and then the links to other Wiki pages clearly specified. The way it stands now, this page tries to do everything and ends up doing nothing. This is an important topic. Please have a look at it. I could help revise but it would mean a total reshuffle. Thanks for you consideration on this, Jansan72 --Jansan72 (talk) 17:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, @Jansan72, thanks for the note. Unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth to work on this article at the moment. I'd suggest leaving a note like this on the talk page and hoping someone picks it up as your best option. Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 15:45, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Eddie,
- Thanks for your suggestion. I will do it.

Ayesha E Page edit
I am looking into creating a wikipage for Ayesha Erotica and see you attempted and either you deleted it or it was deleted. Just wanted any tips or advice and if you want to help hit me up. Daneyp00 (talk) 19:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, @Daneyp00. The consensus at the last discussion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ayesha Erotica (2nd nomination)) was that this topic did not meet our notability requirements, namely that the subject meets one of the criteria listed at WP:MUSICBIO. Before doing anything else, I would make sure that you feel you can establish how the subject does. Eddie891 Talk Work 13:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:13, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II.

- Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
- Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
- Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
- Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
- Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
- Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
- Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello Eddie, I was wondering if I can write articles on Wikipedia not only about the things that already exist but also about creative projects, like perhaps an extend character from a series that I came up with. I will include information designed by my self on this character and introduce them to the rest of the world in my articles. Is that an okay thing to do? Thank you. --RiyG (talk) 19:42, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time edit
Hello Eddie891:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!
Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
