You may be eligible to vote in the U4C election

edit

I am contacting you because you previously voted in elections related to the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). You may be eligible to vote in the current U4C election, which is open now and closes on 2 June 2026. You can find out more about the candidates and the election on the election page on Meta, and from there you can access the vote itself. Your participation in these elections is important to the governance of Wikimedia communities, and your time spent learning about the candidates and voting is appreciated.

Talk:Akihabara massacre

edit

Hi, sorry I missed this RM - please could you relist it as I would like to oppose? This event is nowhere near the threshold where WP:NOYEAR applies IMHO, and per the previous RM on the subject. The vast majority of similar articles have a year included, which makes the subject easier for readers to recognize. Thanks   Amakuru (talk) 12:15, 6 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Ok, hold on. ―Howard🌽33 12:28, 6 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Contested move closure at Stone Cold Steve Austin

edit

Hello! I am the nominator and I saw the RM closed as "not moved". I only saw 1 person oppose. In my opinion, this should be relisted or closed as "no consensus". Just wanted to let you know. Robloxguest3 (talk) 18:50, 6 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello. The outcome of move discussions are not based on votes indicated by bolded text but rather by the content of the arguments given and how they align with Wikipedia guidelines and policy (per WP:RMCIDC). When looking at the responses to the RM, I found at least two comments opposing the change based on consistency, commonality, and previous move discussions, and the other two didn't explicitly claim a position on the RM. Taken together, I considered the lack of firm support coupled with explicit oppositions to mean the consensus was against the requested move. If you still disagree with my assessment in closing the , you are free to initiate a move review. ―Howard🌽33 19:06, 6 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
That was not what I mean. I am not counting by votes. Actually, from what I see, 2 people weren't sure about. They did not support nor oppose the RM. So I would suggest relisting here. Robloxguest3 (talk) 21:35, 6 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
After reading through the discussion again, I suspect you may be right. I will relist it for another time, although I hope it doesn't go on for much longer as 20 days have already gone by since it was started. ―Howard🌽33 09:10, 7 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Howardcorn33! Would you be interested in co-nominating the article Le brothers for DYK? If yes, do you have any preferred hooks in mind? If not, would you mind if I proceed with a solo nomination of the article? —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 16:52, 11 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello! I'm happy you decided to improve the article and I would be ok with co-nominating the article for DYK. But before that is done there is an problem that needs to be settled with the article. I'll ping you about it on the talk page. ―Howard🌽33 19:11, 11 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

It appears that you may have done a mistake

edit

You deleted the article for the Russian Federation Council, I did NOT want for this to happen, rather the fact that I would prefer the name change instead. The Federation Council should be very notable with a lot of reliable sources in it's path.

I request instead for the article to be reinstated/restored with it's latest revision/edition being readded.

Cheers

DYK for Le brothers

edit

On 27 June 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Le brothers, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the actor-choreographer Le brothers taught themselves martial arts through YouTube videos and kung fu films? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Le brothers. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Le brothers), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

Re: The Heavy edits

edit

If it helps, a lot of that was trying to follow existing consensus on Manual of Style regarding how the articles are set up, particularly in regards to layout and structure (a dev section, an appearances section, promotion and reception, etc) that helps give the articles a uniform style for the most part, with some variation. It also helps avoid single-paragraph sections, as these tend to be disliked per consensus over the years and seen better merged with another seciton if possible, especially in character articles.

As for the baseball bit, I was referencing inside baseball, shorthand for saying it's a minute detail that doesn't add much to the article except those really invested in knowing what's going on under the hood. Kung Fu Man (talk) 07:49, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

I was not aware of a consistent manual of style for video game characters, but I was inspired somewhat by the layout on Tracer (Overwatch). I will try to address the single paragraphs by adding further content to the relevant sections. ―Howard🌽33 08:06, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yeah there are some outliers, though in general most articles try to follow the same format. I've worked with the person behind Tracer on a few articles as it were.
By the way, if you are doing more of these and have Engineer on your todo, check Bastion (Overwatch) and Torbjorn (Overwatch)'s reception sections, both have a source each that discuss the perception regarding his turrets that may help.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 08:13, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for informing me, I'll take a look at other articles to get a better reference. I also thank you for some of the edits as those were good ideas. ―Howard🌽33 16:28, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Laocoön (Blake) when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.
