This is presented to you by the GAR process in recognition of your sterling work in helping Wicked (musical) retain its Good Article status. Please feel free to display the GA icon on your userpage. Keep up the good work! ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:53, 14 November 2024 (UTC) |

November 2024
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wicked (2024 film). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Liz Read! Talk! 04:06, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Happily888,
- While you haven't broken 3RR on this article lately, you still are reverting a lot of contributions from other editors in a rather knee-jerk fashion. Please remember that there are very few exceptions to the edit-warring prohibition, none of which seem to apply here. Please consider talking, on an editor's user talk page or on the article talk page, rather than making a lot of edit reverts in this article.
- I decided to post this notice today as this article is going to be seeing a lot of activity over the next few days and so there might be temptation to revert a lot of new editors but please think twice about doing that so you don't cross that 3RR bright red line. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:11, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. You have been given a Level 3 warning this month. ภץאคгöร 13:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:The Toymaker (Doctor Who)
Hello, Happily888. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:The Toymaker (Doctor Who), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 04:08, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
I have sent you a note about a page you started
Hi Happily888. Thank you for your work on Norwegian Chef. Another editor, Hey man im josh, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Not since this makes sense as a redirect since he's Swedish, not Norwegian.
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Hey man im josh}}

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:2025 television awards

A tag has been placed on Category:2025 television awards indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. ✗plicit 13:10, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!
Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.
For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.
The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).

I'm a Celebrity Australia 2025
Hi, why do you keep reverting my edits on the Elimination table? MSalmon (talk) 10:30, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Msalmon: As per WP:COLOR, you can't just colour tables without any other text to show meaning of colour. There also shouldn't just be an empty row, and it is correct to use none in the field as no one has been eliminated yet. Wait until someone is eliminated and add the colour alongside the name when they are eliminated. Happily888 (talk) 10:46, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- Just get rid of the 'None' then MSalmon (talk) 10:53, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Msalmon: You haven't given any reason why, it is correct. Happily888 (talk) 10:55, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- You are making it look like there will be no eliminations or no winner though MSalmon (talk) 10:57, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Msalmon: No, its obvious that's not the case, as there wouldn't be a table titled results and eliminations if it were that there were none. As of currently, no contestant has been eliminated yet, so it is correct that none of the contestants have been eliminated. No one reading the article would read "none" as no eliminations or no winner occurring for the entire series, rather, as opposed to the obvious that none of the eliminations having occurred yet.

Wondering when splitting the episode list of Bluey into individual season pages will happen

Your draft article, Draft:St Vincent's College, Ashfield

Hello, Happily888. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "St Vincent's College".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 09:25, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Bolding of "eleventh season"
Hi Happily888, I see that you reverted my edit to Australian Survivor: Titans V Rebels: [3]. My edit removed the bold from the phrase "eleventh season" in the spirit of MOS:TITLEABSENTBOLD, which says, "In general, if the article's title (or a significant alternative title) is absent from the first sentence, do not apply the bold style to related text that does appear." Of course, the title of the article ("Australian Survivor: Titans V Rebels") does appear in the first sentence here, and it is appropriately bolded. But "eleventh season" is not the article's title or a significant alternative title; it is merely related text. By the spirit of MOS:TITLEABSENTBOLD, this text should not be bolded. This is very similar to the example there: the phrase "general elections" should not be bolded in the article 1999 Nepalese general election.
In the edit summary for your revert, you pointed to MOS:BOLDSYN, which says that "significant alternative names (which should usually also redirect to the article)" should be bolded. But that does not apply here. The phrase "eleventh season" is certainly not an alternative name for "Australian Survivor: Titans V Rebels", because many shows (and sports leagues and theater companies) have eleventh seasons. And, appropriately, eleventh season is not a redirect to Australian Survivor: Titans V Rebels. There is no reason that the phrase "eleventh season" should be bolded here.

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter
The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.
Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:
Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,168 round points, mainly from 4 featured articles and 4 good articles on old military history, in addition to an assortment of GA and FA reviews.
Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2 featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16 Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.
BeanieFan11 (submissions), with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2 In the News articles primarily about athletes.
Sammi Brie (submissions), with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.
Hey man im josh (submissions), with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.
MaranoFan (submissions), with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.
The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!
