James Baldwin?

Hi Wehwalt,

Hope you're doing well. I don't know if you remember me from 2015 or thereabouts. We collaborated on Kurt Vonnegut. I am back around these parts again and working on James Baldwin. It was on the sharp side of a feeling really after reading a biography of him. I am about to start the semester in a few weeks and I do not want the project to die. So I was wondering if you would be interested in working with me once again on the Baldwin expansion. I understand if not. Cheers! ceradon 08:37, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Of course I remember you, and it is good to hear from you again. I'm not sure I have time right now between my commitments here and RL but give me a few days to think about it and look into what sources I have at hand.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:12, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) but Ceradon, that's a mighty fine article and no mistake—congratulations 🙂 SN54129 — Review here please :) 14:52, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

It is. If you can wait a week or so until I finish with Apollo 17, I'll be happy to help.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:47, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you both so much! I appreciate it! --ceradon 23:45, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Ceradon, I got some books and have done some work but plainly the project is big enough that it will take both of us. Have you started the semester yet?--Wehwalt (talk) 21:26, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Not yet, and I will be free again beginning tomorrow evening and I plan on returning to working on the article then. I am hoping to continue with Baldwin's return to New York in 1957. The biographical details are relatively well documented so those sections should not be too difficult, but I've found had difficulty with a lot of the "tying together" sections about the themes of his work, etc. and I don;t want that part of the article to be ad hoc. I'll just keep looking on that score, I guess. --ceradon 04:03, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

in friendship

Thank you for all your help around FAs! - In this young year, I enjoyed meetings with friends in real life (see songs), and wish you many of those. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:34, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you today for Missouri Centennial half dollar, "about... one of the early commemorative coin issues, which was intended as a major fundraiser and as usual that didn't work too well"! - I hope your own plans work better! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:36, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Much obliged for both.--Wehwalt (talk) 10:42, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

FAC Regine Velasquez

Hello Wehwalt, Happy New Year and hope you are doing well and safe. I'm giving the Regine Velasquez article another shot at FAC and was wondering if you have some spare time to provide your review (again)? I would totally understand if you may be busy with other projects. Thanks and I hope you are having a great weekend! Pseud 14 (talk) 17:34, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

I'll get to it when I can.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:39, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Much appreciated! Pseud 14 (talk) 17:41, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
