HelloJoePhin! I have for the most part restored the content you had removed fromBag of holding section inMagic item (Dungeons & Dragons). Therewas a separate article about this, but it was decided ina deletion discussion that there was not enough encyclopedic content based on secondary sources to warrant it's own article, but to merge it to where it is now. I think the content that does not pertain to D&D is also important to have there. Actually, I think it isespecially important, because: I have seen many deletion discussions about such topics, where a main argument was that there is not enough content with real-world relevance, and so many an article wasdeleted because it was considered "fancruft". If we don't have enough such real-world connections, theMagic item (Dungeons & Dragons) article is also in danger of being deleted in the long run. If you think otherwise, or if you are concerned with specific phrasings, let's please discuss. Happy New Year!Daranios (talk)13:41, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, just a note that edits likethis one risk leaving misleading referencing behind. If the sentences you've added are not verifiable by looking at the citation (I haven't checked) then it's potentially misleading to leave an existing citation sentences away from the information it originally used to support. Keep up the good work!GPinkerton (talk)17:31, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If you are revedrted you make a case at talk you do not just edit war.
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in anedit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use thetalk page to work toward making a version that representsconsensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. Seethe bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevantnoticeboard or seekdispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporarypage protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you beingblocked from editing—especially if you violate thethree-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than threereverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

This is theonly warning you will receive aboutownership of articles, which you showed atcryptozoology. The next time you continue to disruptively edit Wikipedia, you may beblocked from editing without further notice.Your edit summaries and edit warring seem to indicate that you are assuming ownership over this article. As you have been warned already, further actions in this regard are likely to escalate to request for remedies including blocks and bans.jps (talk)20:46, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a bit odd: Your name doesn't appear in thediscussion at RfD which led to the deletion ofdead meme. More to the point: In most cases, only administrators can delete pages, so the statement thatyou 'deleted' something has the potential to mislead other editors into thinking you're an administrator. I suggest you change the wording or remove the section. Thanks,BlackcurrantTea (talk)06:49, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You know that theMen's rights movement article is under discretionary sanctions, right? So please start a discussion for the text you wish to include, and don't stick it back in without any kind of context connecting it to the MRM.

Hi there, JoePhin, and welcome to Women in Red. As you are interested in archaeology and paleontology, you perhaps intend to write about women who are active in these fields. If so, you might find some deserving names in our redlinks, e.g.women archaeologists (crowd sourced) andwomen archaeologists (from Wikidata). Similar redlists exist for paleontology:(crowd sourced) andWikidata. As you have not yet created any biographies, you might find it useful to look through ourPrimer for creating women's biographies. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk)07:31, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New contest! |
This month has seen an incredible amount of activity creating high quality content, with 3 FAs, 3 FACs, and a veritable flood of GAs and GANs, not to mention the FLs and FLCs. To help maintain this high level of activity going forward, WikiProject Tree of Life is startinga new monthly rolling contest, inspired bythe contest run by WikiProject Military History. This contest should hopefully help incentivize editors to contribute in ways that are less daunting than writing articles that are GA and FA-quality. Even improving articles from stub to start class, or helping other editors by reviewing their work at GAN, FAC, or FLC, gets you points, with bonus points for articles with especially high page views. Make sure to participate in any way you can, and help improve the 'pedia while having fun and winning Barnstars! |

Contest results |
The first edition ofour new monthly contest had perhaps a little less participation than I hoped for, but it still resulted in a huge amount of content work, mainly focussed on de-stubbing articles on little-known species, although we did also see two GAs forHolozoa andHypericum perforatum. Overall, over 60 articles were improved, with most going from stubs or redlinks to fully fleshed out articles. The winner this month wasSimongraham, who improved 21 articles about spiders, mainly to B and C class, and racked up 70 points, over twice the next highest. Hopefully, we'll continue to see such great work next month, with even more participants and even more articles improved. |

Hey Joe, thought I would drop a line here as I'm going to open an RfC on the lede if no other editors are weighing in (beyond you and MS). I wanted to run some options by you and confirm that you won't drop a link to a source you believe the lede is summarizing:
Option 1) Is the paragraph:
sourced byWP:BLUE in light of an editor challenging it as incorrect and unverifiable?
Option 2) Is the paragraph....
Summarizing the sources provided in the body oflist of common misconceptions?
Option 3) DoesWP:BURDEN require sources verifying the information in the paragraph...
Be provided before the content can feature in the article after its veracity and correctness has been challenged?
I will admit I will be quite rocked if an RfC confirms that the sourcing was fine and I was reading policy this badly the whole time, and I'll likely have to step away from the page for a while haha.Rollinginhisgrave (talk)22:44, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
