Hi Katie, you may want to suppress some of the edits at the article as well.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:43, 22 March 2024 (UTC) Women in Red April 2024[edit]

Redaction at Liverpool City Region[edit]Hello. Regarding your redaction at this article's talk page, I assume it was someone noting the identify of a particular contributor. I am not sure anyone was actually revealing anything that is not already public on Wikipedia, as the user in question edited Wikipedia under their real name until last year and that account still exists (they "retired", apparently in a huff after being blocked, and then started editing under another account, returning to exactly the same article set). I'd actually be interested to know what to do in cases like this; I commented at the ANI thread but wasn't sure whether I could link to the account in question (despite it being extremely obvious that it is the same person). Cheers, Number 57 20:14, 4 April 2024 (UTC) Number 57 20:14, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

A teeny tiny correction
[edit]Hi Katie! Regarding your note here that "he's not allowed to remove the block notice while the block is in effect", that's incorrect. Per WP:BLANKING, editors can remove block messages while the block is in place, they just can't remove declined appeals while the sanctions are in effect. Anyway, I haven't seen you around much lately, it's nice to see your name pop up!-- Ponyobons mots 15:32, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
Happy Birthday!
[edit] | Happy birthday! Hi KrakatoaKatie! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy birthday! Enjoy this special day! The Herald (Benison) (talk) 04:21, 23 August 2024 (UTC) |  |
181.9.0.0/16
[edit]You placed Special:BlockList/181.9.0.0/16 for obviously good reasons. A user without many edits but otherwise in good standing has requested the ability to edit from this address range. The CU logs should clearly indicate who this is but let me know if you can't see. I'm wondering if you'd mind changing the block to anon-only? If you'd rather not, what are your thoughts in me granting IPBE for perhaps three months in this case? --Yamla (talk) 09:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sure. I changed it to anon-only. :-) Katietalk 13:31, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, excellent! --Yamla (talk) 20:31, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Voting for coordinators is now open!
[edit]Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election have opened. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next coordination year. The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available here. If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting will commence on 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the current coord team. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:41, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
