User talk:Mox Eden: Difference between revisions

Line 379: Line 379:

Hi Mox Eden, I participated in the September backlog drive and completed work on 3 episodes from The Boys season 1, [[Cherry (The Boys episode)]], [[Good for the Soul (The Boys episode)]], and [[You Found Me (The Boys episode)]]. A single user went through and reverted a lot of my edits including spelling errors and skewing critic reviews/reception. I am not sure what I did wrong and why most of my work was reverted and would appreciate a more experienced editor looking and letting me know so I can improve. I posted to their talk page as well asking for clarification but since these were articles I worked on for the backlog drive I wasn’t sure if I messed up and need to take them off my list. Also, I would happy to go elsewhere if someone else would be better to help me with this. I’m still learning and trying to figure out protocol for things.

:An IP editor reverted your edits without explanation. That editor has four edits to their credit, 3/4 of which account for their questionable reversions. I would revert their edits, to preserve your work, while asking for clarification. [[User:Dhtwiki|Dhtwiki]] ([[User talk:Dhtwiki|talk]]) 23:26, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

		Copy Editor’s Barnstar
		I award you this Copy Editor’s Barnstar for insisting on clear, comprehensible, and grammatically correct articles. Thank you for your copyedit on Line of Duty. Apologies for the trouble you ran into with the reverts. I have struggled with this editor through a few stages of improvement on said article, and I didn’t imagine they could find anything wrong with a copyedit. I do sincerely appreciate the work that was accomplished. TheDoctorWho (talk) 23:14, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dhtwiki: Crap. Can’t you double-check the leaderboard first before awarding me? There’s a bit of an inaccuracy here. Mox Eden (talk) 12:06, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see from your individual entry that you should be in fourth place with 13 total articles and still in third with a slightly greater total word count. That can be changed. I somewhat trust editors, especially experienced ones, to save some of that trouble in checking by updating their own leaderboard scores. This time I was hurrying and was wrong.

Hi Mox Eden, I’m MFTP Dan, the editor who requested a copyedit of this article. I appreciate your assistance in giving the article a second pair of eyes after I significantly expanded it, especially with such a rapid response. I also take issue with that just this one time, but that’s my fault. The article isn’t actually finished and I anticipated a longer wait. Alas, I have been having a difficult personal life since the request, including mourning the loss of a friend followed by an illness of my own which prevented prompt action.

There is one more subsection I need to translate that isn’t present content-wise on the English version in any form yet. There was a controversy involving the February 1996 cover of Rolling Stone on which Layne Staley appeared, and I was going to make a new subheading under release. I just wanted to kindly ask if you are not finished with the article tomorrow – say around 9pm EST – would you be willing to let me add that and then revisit the one subsection? If not, would you be open to looking at that specific spot in any case once your copyedit is finished?

Once again, I really appreciate you getting to it so quickly and I’m sorry to ask this. mftp dan ^oops 04:41, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MFTP Dan: Yeah, sure. I’ll finish it first before then, mark it as done on the Requests page, you ping me once you put the missing subheading in, and then I copyedit that. Deal? Mox Eden (talk) 08:15, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me! mftp dan ^oops 13:21, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so I’ve added my section. It is titled “Press relations and Rolling Stone controversy”. It comprises about 4,000 bytes. Thank you for all of your help. mftp dan ^oops 04:06, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MFTP Dan: Finished! Have a nice day! Mox Eden (talk) 07:45, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am very grateful to you for your help. Here’s hoping I can get this to FA in the coming months. mftp dan ^oops 13:21, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mox Eden, Z. Patterson has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

I noticed you said on your user page that you are feeling stressed. I wanted to encourage you and thank you for your work on Ochaco Uraraka‘s article. It is in a better condition now, and I appreciate what you have done.
Z. Patterson (talk) 10:48, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mox Eden. I just looked at your user page, and noticed what you said about feeling depressed and stressed, but especially about suffering a significant loss recently, and grieving. I am sorry because of that, and I just wanted to offer you my support and understanding. I know it probably doesn’t mean much, from a stranger on the other side of the world… Anyway, I want you to overcome these dark moments, and to remember that light always come after darkness. I wish you the best! — Sundostund mppria ^{(talk / contribs)} 14:38, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, welcome, welcome Mox Eden! I’m glad that you are joining the June 2025 drive! Please, have a cup of WikiTea, and go cite some articles.

Thank you for copyediting Rain World. I’ve been told though that periods should be placed outside of quotation marks if the sentence is a fragment of a quote. For example, if I use a quote “like this, the punctuation should be placed outside of the quotation marks”. I’m gonna be busy today though, so it’d be great if you can fix just that little thing. Thanks. Tarlby ^{(t) (c)} 16:56, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations!! You have been elected as a coordinator for the Guild of Copy Editors. Thank you for stepping up to help lead and support the work of the project. We look forward to your contributions in this role!

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Candidates.

Here is the schedule:

July 9–15 – Call for candidates
July 18–22 – Discussion phase
July 23–29 – SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community’s expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

Hi, just a courtesy message to notify you in case you haven’t seen the Wikipedia:The World Destubathon contest update in the last few days that we’ve decided to run the full month until the 16th of July. For those who have been too busy to contribute, we would love some help in reaching 4000 articles by Wednesday night! At present we’re about 480 articles short!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:39, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion phase of the July 2025 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

July 18–22 – Discussion phase (we are here)
July 23–29 – SecurePoll voting phase
July 30–c. Aug 3 – Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Discussion phase.

On July 23, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate’s totals during the election. You must be extended confirmed to vote.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last approximately four days, or perhaps a little longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (you may want to watchlist this page) and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and must also have received a minimum of 20 support votes. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions (“crat chats”).

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Hey, regarding the xtools issue: for the last few weeks the main stats failed to run at all on large edit count users and it was only 3 days ago the fix got released. I had not noticed the issue with the automated edit count so I had not investigated or reported that one. However I have found that it works if you break the active period in two: I ran Jan 1, 2013 to Jan 1, 2020 and Jan 1, 2020 to Jan 1, 2026. Both of these took quite some time then reported an error, but hitting refresh then showed the stats. You’ll have you crunch the numbers yourself but it’s about 55%.

The voting phase of the July 2025 administrator elections has started and continues until July 29 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Voting phase.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

July 23–29 – Voting phase
July 30–c. Aug 3 – Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate’s vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for approximately four days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions (“crat chats”).

Hello!
I’ve noticed that you have started to copyedit the above-mentioned page.
As a first, it is very much appreciated that you’re adding quality control to the page. If you need any assistance, please let me know! I’ll help out as much as I can. SomeDude132 (talk) 05:16, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On your rewards post, by de-stubbing do you mean removing any clean-up notices of any kind on the pages? Crystalite13 (talk) 15:20, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, that’s more of a bonus thing you can do. I just meant expanding the prose as much as possible, beyond a certain length (i.e. ~1500 B worth; can be checked through Prosesize). By the way, if you haven’t heard of The 50,000 Destubbing Challenge, do add any and all articles you’ve destubbed there. Mox Eden (talk) 10:29, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

oh, cool thanks Crystalite13 (talk) 15:42, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing, I’m de-stubbing a lot of the pages by getting stuff from the Korean articles, but whenever I write something with a bullet line (*) the text isn’t counted, so if the page clearly is more than a stub but the gadget doesn’t count it, will you still accept it? Crystalite13 (talk) 16:10, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Mox Eden (talk) 08:28, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
