Sorry - nothing much in the staple text. Please add Little_Miss_X_(1958) to your form of identification concern as opposed to a concerningly elongating list. The lists there are surely tiresome for most (not myself and surely yourself, but many will see the lists as too extensive).--Kieronoldham (talk) 02:36, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
I understand your observation. The consensus is just how cases and articles are written (even before I joined Wiki.) in the English language and how spelling and grammar is applied given the subject or location. I see Edward Heath's article written in British English, just like I see Jimmy Carter's written in American English, much like the rule for Jack the Ripper or the Zodiac Killer, given the location of the cases, likewise. We use DMY format as a rule for articles of geographical location focus (D-day or even the Vietnam War, for example). No manoeuvre on my humble part here; the maneuver was created by Wikipedia and those who authored the articles and created the seeming consensus across Wiki., which I think is appropriate for a worldwide encyclopedia.--Kieronoldham (talk) 18:37, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
Ok makes sense but in that case how come, if it's based on geographical location, British English is used for an article with a Russian subject? The most similar article I could think of, Alexander Pichushkin, is not written in British English, nor is any article with a Russian subject I have ever seen. Plectiscus (talk) 19:36, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
Again I am just a contributor as opposed to an author of the rules which I absorb and, almost exclusively, agree with on here. It is what I agree with, but as for geographical location, maybe two things: 1) Russia is geographically to the east of NY and to the west of CA, and 2) British English was the foundation, ultimately, for American English (derivatives, if you wish to term/view as such). Russian is not English (obv.) but the date format is the same as that on the continent on the other side of Britain's "Dover to Calais" 21-mile stretch. Some cases may be overlooked, like the one you mention. It is an expanding project.
I like the fact Wiki is oft. the top search result online personally, even if some contributors try and seep bias, which negates impartiality, in areas (it'll never be perfect but we can strive in our own areas of interest).--Kieronoldham (talk) 20:03, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research
Hello,
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Will do. BTW, did you tell me you are from Canada? My brother is moving to Campobello Island next week. Looks like me and my sisters will be visiting him every other year.--Kieronoldham (talk) 21:04, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Mary Jane Kelly. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
I am assuming this (automated to a degree) template is in reference to the recent edits at the Mary Jane Kelly article I made, SuperSkaterDude45? Yes I am prepared to apologise if the language was slightly terse in my edit summary and I sincerely mean that. At least one other editor also reverted the edits you tried to re-insert prior to myself though, with a MOS explanation. I a sorry if the edit explanation sounded a little terse, but how many links to Joseph Barnett should this article need.--Kieronoldham (talk) 04:20, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
@Kieronoldham: The difference is that as you've stated, the other editor provided an MOS. However, your latest revert fails to take into consideration my latest edit summary within the article itself also provided an MOS within a more specific section regarding links to the same article multiple times and is just more your own personal inputs. You could've at least had a discussion on my own talk page regarding this rather than reverting for the sake of it. SuperSkaterDude45 (discusión) 15:24, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
Many people are guilty of editing hastily from time to time - including (obv.) myself. My observation was "duplicate and repeat links" per MOS Overlink. No harm done I hope.--Kieronoldham (talk) 18:22, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
Done. Others may be better to assist you going forward than I. Veiled mockery/humour - as I have said way more than once (even if behind a degree of encouragement on your part) - can only be endured so far. By the way, Davidgoodheart, as a closure call, is the Aster Ganno act. Aster Gannoo? All the best. Some sources state so. Regards,--Kieronoldham (talk) 03:20, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Adjusted. Pretty obvious from the names alone that the case is Polish. Victims also disappeared days or weeks apart. I will let you know as and when I can get around to helping yous with edits.--Kieronoldham (talk) 01:00, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
