Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Health and environmental effects of transport, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ventilation. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:56, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding another editor you have interacted with. The thread is Dustfreeworld's editing of project-space pages. The discussion is about the topic Wikipedia:POV railroad. — Newslinger talk 16:49, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
I know we recently had a discussion on my talk page (which has since been removed along with a few other discussions for space) about signatures and accessibility. I wanted to let you know that I have created a new user warning template for signatures that potentially violate WP:SIGAPP. You can access the template here. Thought you may be interested to know.

- Fantastic, thanks. I've been wanting to create a template for this for ages. Slightly edited it to ensure it's accessible (typically, one shouldn't hide links behind words like 'this' or 'here', as it's annoying for people skimreading / using screen readers). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:05, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Hi @Femke, I know you often check the Autopatrolled list. I had some time today and reviewed the recent requests that had not been responded to yet over the past few weeks... I think there are four there that would warrant the permission and help reduce the backlog. Just a courtesy ping! P.S. My understanding was that non-admins are welcome to comment on requests for autopatrolled, but if my comments are undesired just let me know and I'll refrain in the future. Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:03, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Dclemens1971: your input is always very well thought out, so super welcome. Have you further considered an RfA or AELECT run after the discussion on your talk page in February? I'd be happy to nominate if you don't have offers yet :). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:13, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
I am no expert in that field; maybe you know if and how to incorporate stuff from [1] into Richard Tol? It is an interesting topic but far outside my wheelhouse. I did try to make some minor improvements to the article. Of course there is no hurry, enjoy your holiday first! Polygnotus (talk) 20:50, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
- A difficult article to write. I'm vaguely aware of more direct appraisal and criticism of his work. The criticism in the article now is indirect, about a project he was involved in. Which is not ideal for a BLP. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 15:42, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- Indeed. Unfortunately this part of science if very politicized by some. This was interesting. [2] Polygnotus (talk) 15:48, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
The Core Contest has now ended! Thank you for your interest and efforts. Make sure that you include both a "start" and "improvement diff" on the entries page.
