Dear Meno25/Archive 86,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more. ​

Hello Meno25, I am a Wikipedia author from the German (my native language) and sometimes English Wikipedia. Coincidentally, I saw that in the Arabian article about the Italian man Lapo Elkann, the MenoBot inserted a new Commons picture of the man to the article, with which everything seems ok. What I observed, however: When you look into the Commons File which was inserted, this particular article is not listed in the section "Global File usage" at the end of the file description, while about 12-14 other language versions of the Wikipedia are listed there. Differently said, it seems as if for some reason the Commons software overlooks either the above language version, or it may have something to do with the way MenoBot works. Hope this helps, Best Regards, Pittigrilli (talk) 14:22, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

@Pittigrilli: Thank you for your message. Works for me (The link showing file usage on arzwiki is displayed correctly for me.) If you want to report any problem in Commons, please use Phabricator. My bot work has nothing to do with this issue. Thank you. --Meno25 (talk) 16:07, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Arbitration

• Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.
