@Amoab.k01: As an example: "a mixture is like a seperating thing to seperate like sand and water so first it will boil so then it will start making small bubbles. then it can evaporate so it will be start the bubbles and then you should see only lots of sand" at Mixture is not encyclopedic content in English. Unless you can be bothered to use proper English grammar, capitalization, punctuation and spelling, at the very least, please don't edit here at the English Wikipedia.

Dear, thanks for sharing your below wisdom, which I will take to heart henceforth. I can't help translating it to "if others want to add needless junk, above all let them do so".

<quote=General Ization> Ask yourself the three things you must always ask yourself before you say anything.

   1) “Does this need to be said?”
   2) “Does this need to be said by me?”
   3) “Does this need to be said by me now?”

Hello. As advised by the Help Desk, I was in the process of reverting a number of unexplained content deletions by this user. I was also supposed to use appropriate templates to explain my actions. Upon visiting the talk page just now I found that you are already working on this. So I will take no further action lest we start to collide. Let me know if I should do something else; I'm completely inexperienced at this. Larrydberg (talk) 01:48, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You gave me this warning, but I'm not affiliated with the page I was editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msmwiki0403 (talk • contribs) 20:35, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Msmwiki0403: That's fine; since your first and thus far only edits in article space were at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, it was reasonable to ask you to disclose any connection. However, the article may have been edited by others with such a connection; do not remove the template notice concerning this from the page header. Also please note the other maintenance templates I have added, which mostly refer to issues with the edits you have made to that article. General Ization ^Talk 20:40, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2018).

Administrator changes

None

Al Ameer son • AliveFreeHappy • Cenarium • Lupo • MichaelBillington

Guideline and policy news

• Following a successful request for comment, administrators are now able to add and remove editors to the "event coordinator" group. Users in the event coordinator group have the ability to temporarily add the "confirmed" flag to new user accounts and to create many new user accounts without being hindered by a rate limit. Users will no longer need to be in the "account creator" group if they are in the event coordinator group.
• Following an AN discussion, all pages with content related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, broadly construed, are now under indefinite general sanctions.

Technical news

• IP-based cookie blocks should be deployed to English Wikipedia in June. This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface.
• The Wikimedia Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team will build granular types of blocks in 2018 (e.g. a block from uploading or editing specific pages, categories, or namespaces, as opposed to a full-site block). Feedback on the concept may be left at the talk page.
• There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups.
• It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked.

Arbitration

• A recent technical issue with the Arbitration Committee's spam filter inadvertently caused all messages sent to the committee through Wikipedia (i.e. Special:EmailUser/Arbitration Committee) to be discarded. If you attempted to send an email to the Arbitration Committee via Wikipedia between May 16 and May 31, your message was not received and you are encouraged to resend it. Messages sent outside of these dates or directly to the Arbitration Committee email address were not affected by this issue.

Miscellaneous

• In early May, an unusually high level of failed login attempts was observed. The WMF has stated that this was an "external effort to gain unauthorized access to random accounts". Under Wikipedia policy, administrators are required to have strong passwords. To further reinforce security, administrators should also consider enabling two-factor authentication. A committed identity can be used to verify that you are the true account owner in the event that your account is compromised and/or you are unable to log in.

The sources already cited say that he was born Rashaam Attica Smith and released the first album at 13. Esham's fan base is just ridiculously stupid and has been vandalizing the article for over a decade. 166.182.82.188 (talk) 02:35, 5 June 2018 (UTC) Look at the sources. YOU are adding unsourced content. 166.182.82.188 (talk) 02:38, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See these sources already cited in the article. ^[1][2][3]

Yes, AllMusic is the most reliable -- and your edits directly contradict it. General Ization ^Talk 02:41, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A Google search is not a reliable, published source. This is. General Ization ^Talk 02:50, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Those are several reliable sources in published books, including Allmusic guides.

Also for age 13: http://www.rapreviews.com/archive/BTTL_eshamboominwords.html https://www.popmatters.com/esham-sacrificial-lambz-2496137389.html http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2001/jul/05/the_d_in/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.182.82.188 (talk) 02:55, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

None of which are known to be reliable sources. I'm not buying it, but it isn't just me you have to convince. At this point, if you make the change again without establishing consensus on the article's Talk page for it, you will be blocked (and note that others have tried but not been successful, for the same reason).

Guild of Copy Editors June 2018 News Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the February edition. Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7 months and reached a new all-time low. Requests continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5 days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20 days, and the longest wait time was 29 days. Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of Corinne. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed. March drive: The goal was to remove June, July and August 2017 from our backlog and all February 2018 Requests (a total of 219 articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758 words). April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21 April, focusing on Requests and the last eight articles tagged in August 2017. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17 days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight editors completed 22 copy edits (62,412 words). May drive: We set out to remove September, October and November 2017 from our backlog and all April 2018 Requests (a total of 298 articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a record low of 716 articles. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15 editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813 words). Coordinator elections: It's election time again. Nominations for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged. Voting will take place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. June blitz: Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Corinne, Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Reidgreg and Tdslk. >>> Participate in the June elections! <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Why did you revert two of my revisions on User talk:Kavrocks88 (removing the heading that I added and removing my post entirely)? You also removed someone else’s heading. Interqwark ^{talk contribs} 21:57, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
