Talk page protection

edit

I have semi-protected this page. I very much dislike protecting user talk pages, because of the risk that it may cause inconvenience for legitimate editors, as well as the nuisances that have made it necessary, but unfortunately sometimes it is necessary. You may like to do what I have done from time to time when childish trolls have made protection of my talk page necessary. I have created an alternative talk page, with a note on my main talk page directing editors who can't edit the main talk page to the other one. JBW (talk) 08:26, 10 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Alright, thanks! I'll try to do as you suggested. Nigos (t c)

A barnstar for you!

I kinda missed working along an editor, and your help on SpaceX Starship is extremely appreciated! Not sure working alone would cause ownership of article kicking in though... CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 12:57, 12 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
@CactiStaccingCrane: Thanks a lot! I would like to help however I can. Could we try to bring it to A-class status? :) Nigos (talk c) 13:06, 12 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
P.S. WP:OWN doesn't apply here, you're simply improving the article and aren't trying to "protect it"
I actually have! Unfortunately, A-Class is for certain Wikiprojects, and mine did not fall within its scope. I would aim for   featured article instead. Also, I do understand that ownership of the article isn't simply writing the majority of the article, what concerns me is that I might introduce bias and not having a total view of the subject. Writing a broad-scope current article is difficult, and having just one editor is not suffice. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 13:11, 12 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Alright, let's aim for that instead. I'll try to find and add other viewpoints to the article, as well as try to find sources for unsourced claims. Nigos (talk c) 13:15, 12 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for chipping in! I would research the subject on future flights. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 13:16, 12 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Cannot help it :) Thanks for dealing with all of Leijurv's comments while I'm away! CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 12:18, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your signature

edit

The pipe character in your signature is an issue when it is placed inside a template such as Template:Did you know nominations/RAF Chia Keng. I recommend substituting the character like I did here. DanCherek (talk) 14:40, 30 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Yup, I've realised that the signature substitutes the pipe, so I've changed it to include that part. Nigos (talk | contribs) 14:43, 30 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

DYK nomination of RAF Chia Keng

edit

  Hello! Your submission of RAF Chia Keng at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! BlueMoonset (talk) 17:06, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Are you going to expand this nominated article or not? The reviewer said "pronto" (which means get right to the expansion), but you haven't even started. If you don't begin work right away, the nomination will have to close. If you won't be expanding it, you can withdraw the nomination. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:06, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
I would like to withdraw the nomination. Nigos (talk | contribs) 06:11, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
