You are making a mistake with the articles. Andalusia is not a specific place, it's a region of Spain. The earthquake had its epicenter in Granada and should be named after Granada, as in the rest of Wikipedias. Please correct the article. Lopezsuarez (talk) 18:44, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lopezsuarez The renaming back to Andalusia was because you had not provide any substantial reason to support your earlier move. If you disagree with the current title, open a move discussion first. Do not move any page, especially high profile articles, to a new (and controversial) name without a discussion. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 00:15, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, Is it true that the Shindo 7 earthquake is confirmed? KeithAndAftons123 (talk) 14:33, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed as in .... ? Multiple reliable sources are reporting intensity 7 so that's the closest to a "confirmation" I can give you Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 14:39, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh so i thought it was confirmation by the JMA, But thanks. KeithAndAftons123 (talk) 15:40, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just wanted to reach out in a friendly and informative way; I noticed several of your edits to

Hi and thanks for the reminder. May I know @Rowing007 how do you obtain the romanization? Do you have to run the script title through an external website or does Wikipedia have a script I can add to my js commons page? Otherwise this is a very inconvenient and time-consming task which I haven't come across when working on other foreign-language references. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 16:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just have an extra tab open with Google translate for (in this case) Japanese to English. I paste the script title, then the romanization appears underneath it, with the English translation on the right. It takes maybe an extra 15 seconds per reference. Besides the fact that this is required, it is beneficial because it allows people to read the original language without needing to understand the script. Again though, this is only for non-Latin scripts such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian (Cyrillic script), Greek, Arabic, etc., not all foreign languages. For example, titles in French, Spanish, German, etc., only require |title=, |trans-title= and |lang=, because the languages use the Latin alphabet.

		The New Page Patroller's Barnstar
		For over 100 article reviews during 2023. Well done! Keep up the good work and thank you! Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:44, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have added this topic in the talk page of the i incident, but thought nobody would see it so I'm asking you since you were the last editor. My question is, now that the debris has been discovered and confirmed to be of K-2743, should we change the title to 2016 Indian Air Force An-32 Crash? I'm still new and don't feel confident about it, so if you can confirm, I'll go ahead with it. Also, there is a image of that exact plane parked at an AFB, but it seems to be from social media. Can you guide me whether we can use it in the article and if we can, how do we cite the source?(it's on X) AnalyserOP (talk) 09:36, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the page Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 11:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, and about the picture, can you help me with it?

I just need guidance in citing since its been posted on social media.

And now that the crash has been confirmed, it'd be more relevant now to use the picture of the exact plane(we're lucky that it's available). AnalyserOP (talk) 12:13, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any proper details about the image including original author, licenses, etc... I can't be certain the X account is the owner of that image. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 12:45, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

alright no problem. thanks. AnalyserOP (talk) 14:08, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed in several of your edits to 2024 Noto earthquake (e.g., most recently here) that you've been naming Japanese newspapers as "shimbum"; this is a misspelling. The works in question are spelled "shimbun". For example, Yomiuri Shimbun, The Asahi Shimbun, Sankei Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, Kobe Shimbun, etc. :) Best, Rowing007 (talk) 14:27, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Dora the Axe-plorer, I missed out on that discussion, seems entirely appropriate though. Mikenorton (talk) 12:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you can agree with the redirect. On another note, thanks for updating the NGDC references Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 13:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The NGDC updates pretty much suit by abilities right now - only another 250 or so to go. It's a shame that they didn't reach out in advance like the ISC did recently. I kind of feel that this is something that could be done by a bot, but that's way outside my capabilities, Cheers. Mikenorton (talk) 13:52, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where to get past earthquakes in USGS? I can't find the Sawu Sea earthquake on USGS.

Also, for 'considering every global agency as well' is unnecessary because if USGS is the most reliable source, then I agree, but if other agency (especially if it is local agency) recorded it beyond >6.0 M, we need to consider it, making USGS less reliable than it.

Furthermore, I think this is very bad idea, if too dependent on USGS only as it may violate

And also, no offense, I'm sorry if I did too bold actions, I just want to help. Peace, EdhyRa (talk) 06:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@EdhyRa, I am not the coordinator of Wikipedia, so do reach out to Mikenorton on his inputs. He's been around longer than I have so he has a better perspective of things.

Note that

WP:WORLDWIDE

is not a guideline hence cannot be violated. The USGS covers earthquakes globally (M4+) so I don't see any issue with that even if it was a policy.

The Savu Sea event is here Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 07:03, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reach out, I just checked, and it indeed has 5.7M on USGS. The distance is also different, 104 km from BMKG, 85 km from USGS.

If in the end, the Sawu Sea earthquake is not included, then I'm legawa. Legawa is Indonesian-ism of Javanese word legowo. If using Google Translate it translated to 'relieved', but I think is mistranslated. Legawa is more like 'surrender/give up, but with good/happy feeling – not the usual resent one'.

Also, pardon me for bits of broken English, I'm from Indonesia, a Javanese currently living in Malang. The 6.4M East Java earthquake in 22 March 2024, I felt that – my first earthquake tbh. After that, I become interested in List of earthquakes in 2024, so yeah I'll admit include the Sawu Sea earthquake is may kinda bias from myself.

Best regards, EdhyRa (talk) 07:20, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your English is fine, don't worry. Glad you have an interest in Wikipedia's Earthquake project.

you may still raise the USGS ref problem in the talk page. But I just see it as standardisation sake. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 09:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dora the Axe-plorer,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Remember Wikipedia is not a place for personal attack, next time you will be reported, i edited the article long before you, you are no one to judge which is problematic and which is not check July 2022, alswo I gave

And your reply here is a threat whichI can also report FYI@Dilbaggg Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 09:56, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a reply it is called a warning, we have the right to warn those who violate Wikipedia guidlines, anyway unlike your aggressive

@Dilbaggg Falsely accusing someone of personal attacks when you don't have evidence is a problem. You are not warning, you are threatening me without basis. Present your evidence Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 10:04, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is again another warning, be grateful that I did not report you yet, see edit summary you canot change it [1] quoting you " Disrupting the list", "causing problems" these are personal attacks, check

WP:TRR broken, but do not engage in personal attacks again and best wishes to you on your future on Wikipedia, take care. Dilbaggg (talk) 10:11, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

The list has been ranked with the top 10 entries, you added an additional one to make it 11, that's not disruptive? Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 10:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did that cause I didn't want to remove the 1920 earthquake just yet, we are allowed to change the title, check the title before 2010, then before 2020, titles can change, ok maybe it wasn't right to change title heading but I did that to not exclude the 1920 earthquake just yet but if any gets removed than its that one, as the list is of the highest estimated death toll,

WP:AGF and 1556 one can be added back anytime as it was removed without consensus. Dilbaggg (talk) 10:23, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

@Dilbaggg I started a discussion in the list's talk page, I hope we can find common grounds and agree on something. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 10:29, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway this warning is not a punishment, it is your chance to become a better editor and comply with

WP:RfC, a consensus would be needed to remove it, not add it, but am busy for now, good day. Dilbaggg (talk) 10:03, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

BTW telling me you have edited the page before I for personal validation to prove you are "superior" .. tell me that's not a threat/attack Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 10:06, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not trying to be superior, I have the right to warn editors about personal attacks! Don't do it again and take care. Dilbaggg (talk) 10:11, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly disagree with that, looking at the wording in your edit summaries. That felt like an attack and if I interpret it as an attack or threat, it is one, irregardless of your actual intentions. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 11:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your creation of this article, we would not stylize the article title like that anyway per

@Ss112 If you looked into the article history, I was in the midst of developing. I don't have another set of arms to complete two tasks at the same time. Thanks for completing the move Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 05:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need "another set of arms". Fair enough that you may have been in the process of developing the article, but after creating an article, it would have taken a matter of seconds to pull up another tab (which every modern Internet browser is capable of doing) and navigate to

WP:RM/TR to request it be moved. In case you're in the process of making them, not every one of Swift's album tracks needs an article—Ippantekina and another user redirected several you created the other day. All that being said, this isn't to say that you wouldn't have requested the move. But in case you weren't going to, this is also for future reference. Ss112 14:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply
