A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	For clearing out Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Crowded. Well done! ♠PMC♠ (talk) 20:12, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Premeditated Chaos Thanks! You probably deserve this more than me though - I only cleared the last few before the end :) firefly ( t · c ) 20:30, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Ah, but I left the worst ones for last :) ♠PMC♠ (talk) 20:35, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Lintertool does not work

Since today morning the tool only updates the time but not the numbers of errors

example from german wiki:

						Misnested tags	Missing end tag		NS total
Project talk						498	1,592		2,090
should be at 07:22, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
Project talk						492	1,495		1,987
should be at 13:44, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
Project talk						468	1,378		1,846

I have fixed some of the bugs today but the number is still the same. but if you look here the number should be lower than 1,592. It would be nice if you can take a look on it. --Lómelinde (talk) 07:22, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

there is still no change, the tablecells are frozen. --Lómelinde (talk) 13:44, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

It might have been a serverproblem, it is better now. --Lómelinde (talk) 05:30, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

@Lómelinde sorry for the delay in replying - I had a quick look at this yesterday, and got the same results that the tool was displaying when querying the replica DBs directly, so I imagine that it was indeed either replication lag or the scheduled jobs that count the lint errors on the live DBs not running. Thanks! :) firefly ( t · c ) 07:53, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Mysteriously, de:wp in particular seemed to have been affected. Today it runs perfectly. Sorry for my panic. --Lómelinde (talk) 07:59, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

@Lómelinde No worries! :) firefly ( t · c ) 08:01, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

She-Ra live-action series

Hello, hope you're doing good. I saw the message you left on my talk section about the upcoming She-Ra live-action series but there's no information yet so that's why I don't edit it; so if there's something new, I'll update the draft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chucheraya20 (talk • contribs) 03:15, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Edit request wizard microtasks

Hi! Student applicants are starting to submit drafts for their microtasks (see phab:T300454), so if you wanted to take a look at them as well, let me know and I can update the instructions. Right now, they just say to PM drafts to me for feedback, but I could update them to say PM them to both of us. There aren't a lot right now but I suspect we'll be getting a lot more as it gets closer to the applicant deadline on April 19. You definitely don't have to say yes to this if you're busy. Thanks! Enterprisey (talk!) 23:12, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

@Enterprisey aha! I’ll take a look today :) firefly ( t · c ) 10:09, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Cool! Will email with more details. Enterprisey (talk!) 08:49, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Mister World 2021

I have retrieved your concerns and as per request will create a new page. Thanking you in advance . Prosper M9 (talk) 08:45, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

@Prosper M9 You don’t need to create a new draft, just edit the current one to “reset the clock” on G13 if you want to keep it. firefly ( t · c ) 22:19, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Borrowed time...

Really enjoyed reading your article on Ms Sorokin. Great prose. No Swan So Fine (talk) 18:49, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

@No Swan So Fine Heh - thank you! Not just my work, I shepherded it through GAN, but the article itself is the work of many :) firefly ( t · c ) 20:58, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Regarding Euro/US Dollar conversion: In the US, you are wrong. Most people don't know what a Euro is. You may not like it, but it is true. Please don't delete my addition of conversions again. --Zeamays (talk) 14:46, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@Zeamays I removed them not because I personally don't like them, but because I've not seen such conversions used on similar articles, and the relevant section of the manual of style seems to suggest that they're not needed (although I admit that it's not particularly clear). I won't object to restoration - I might suggest that a template (e.g. {{To_USD}}) is used to simplify things :) firefly ( t · c ) 14:56, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I tried to use the tool you mention, but it just produces an error message. I confess I don't know how to use this tool. I will have to go back to my last edit and use the tool I had used then. --Zeamays (talk) 17:39, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@Zeamays no worries - I or someeone else can have a look at switching to the template afterwards. firefly ( t · c ) 17:40, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I already fixed it. --Zeamays (talk) 17:43, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

You might be insterested

I supported your RFA, and I think you'd be interested in this song... NYC Guru (talk) 22:45, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

@NYC Guru Thanks! And heh, that's a blast from the past. Not the original inspiration for my username, but I like the song anyway :) firefly ( t · c ) 12:22, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

more-ip-info.js

Very useful tool which I've just installed. Two suggestions for when you have time:

• At the moment the IP block entry shown when only one block is active is essentially duplicated. It may be worth hiding the range block which is shown already. Don't mind the information remaining duplicated as it does show that the tool is working as expected, and hiding it for certain criteria might be unnecessary.
• The range block listed in your blue box doesn't include any partial block information. Take Special:Contributions/120.22.0.0/16 which shows that there exists a range block on that /16 but doesn't say that it's a partial block. If space is a concern, you could still say "partially blocked" instead of "blocked" which means you wouldn't need to have the specific pages partially blocked from shown.

Good luck with the RfA, and fingers crossed that I can give you the coveted admin t-shirt . Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 01:26, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

@Dreamy Jazz Thank you, for the wishes and the bug reports - I'll try to fix those this weekend. :) firefly ( t · c ) 12:22, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Three-quarter million award!

	The Three-Quarter Million Award
	For your contributions to bring Windows XP (estimated annual readership: 828,731) to Good Article status, I hereby present you the Three-Quarter Million Award.

seems like that one was overlooked! Granted, this might be me slipping up, but it seems to check out. That number is from 2017 readership, since you got the article to GA in 2018—nice work! :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 07:21, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
