READ THIS FIRST:
Because of Wikipedia:Risk disclaimer, this is my advice on quick-moving events.
- Wikipedia is a historical encyclopedia.
- Wikipedia is not a newspaper: Wikipedia is not a news source; it is not a good source for "Breaking News".
- Wikipedia:There is no deadline: Editors get no points for making an early edit and there is no added clout here for being first.
- Wikipedia:No original research: Editors don't need to add something just because they think or even "know" it's going to happen.
- Wikipedia:Ownership of content: Even early edits are open to other editors making drastic changes.
- Wikipedia:Summary style and Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Be concise: Avoid unnecessary formalism and excessive details.
Thank you. —GoldRingChip

Ref=none
[edit]Thank you for fixing the harv errors (?) on Rabbit I introduced by using unbulleted list citebundle. I'll make sure to set that parameter in the future. Is there any case where you would want to make a reference that points to an item in a citebundle? Isn't it cleaner to put those references into a separate bibliography if it needs to be used more than once? Reconrabbit 19:23, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- I prefer collecting repeatedly-cited references at the end of an article. I find citebundles cumbersome. However, it's a matter of taste. —GoldRingChip 19:44, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
