Hey, Kusma! I'm doing a DYK review for the above new(!) article for which the creator has requested a Nov 9 date. Because it's quite likely to get a lot of interest that day, I'd love a quick read by someone who maybe would detect a nuanced neutrality issue better than this Yankee can. :) Would that be something you'd be able/willing to do? --valereee (talk) 18:31, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Valereee, I have made some remarks on the article talk page. —Kusma (t·c) 20:14, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! --valereee (talk) 09:48, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Kusma, as you well know, there is discussion underway at

on whether to revert my edits.

Your unilateral reverts are completely out-of-order. Please stop. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:28, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Note that your use of rollback was clear breach of

WP:ROLLBACKUSE. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs

The irony of your actions is pretty awesome. —Kusma (t·c) 16:54, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Kusma, I wonder could you please let me know about possible reasons of Sanatech page deletion. How can we prevent this deletion. Regarding copy right, I should say that I am working in this company and it is completely okay that I used the text. Regarding advertising, I can revise the text to prevent this. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].

Thank you!

You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Portals. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Portals/Evidence. Please add your evidence by December 20, 2019, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Portals/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, SQL^{Query me!} 20:27, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

SQL, thank you for the message. Is there any guidance as to what the scope of the case is or why I am considered a party to the case? —Kusma (t·c) 20:47, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Kusma, I apologize if I missed something, this is the first case that I've opened. The scope I was given was "The conduct of parties and others in discussions around portals and deletion of portals". SQL^{Query me!} 20:49, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Why did you revert[1] my edit to Template:WikiProject Hertfordshire?

Per

, a revert should be explained, but your edit supplied no reason for the revert.

Portal:Hertfordshire was deleted. Why reinstate a link to the non-existent portal, thereby pacing the template in the cleanup category Category:Portal templates with all redlinked portals? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:51, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

BrownHairedGirl, my apologies, I didn't mean to do that. Stray click :( —Kusma (t·c) 16:03, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Such accidental reverts usually open the page reverted, so I am surprised that it went un-noticed. But thanks for restoring my edit. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:06, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you CAPTAIN RAJU! I already made the obligatory celebratory edit. —Kusma (t·c) 16:47, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't misinterpret on purpose. :) Beg your pardon :) --CoryGlee (talk) 20:20, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

CoryGlee, no problem, I didn't mean to imply that it was on purpose (sorry if my edit summary made you think so). It is easy to misread the article into believing that the law has changed already, but Parliament still needs to approve it. —Kusma (t·c) 20:26, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

331dot, what is wrong with using Twinkle to leave a block notice while blocking a vandal? —Kusma (t·c) 08:04, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

WP:DENY. I didn't delete it because of your warning, just to get rid of their nonsense unblock request. 331dot (talk

) 08:06, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

331dot, deleting is fine. I was also considering revoking TPA, but thought I'd wait and see: a vandal writing nonsense on their talk page isn't finding a new IP to vandalise anywhere in mainspace. Just please don't send me nonsensical messages like the one above where you told me that leaving that block notice was vandalism. —Kusma (t·c) 08:21, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

I apologize. That was done automatically, I took no action to send it. It went to you because you created the user talk page with your warning. 331dot (talk) 08:22, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
