Name change
[edit]Hi, is there a reason you have changed your name to one that seems to glorify the war efforts of Nazi Germany? Seems a rather unfortunate or provocative choice. Fram (talk) 10:01, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oh hey there Fram. I did not intend to support the Nazi Germans but rather express my liking of armoured warfare. I do not support what the Nazis did but the doctrine of blitzkrieg has been used in wars like 2003 invasion of Iraq. Blitzkriegswunder (talk) 11:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- There should be tons of possible user names which show an interest in armoured warfare without this very unhappy connotation though... Fram (talk) 11:34, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Maybe, but I'm also a pretty big fan of Germany, its culture, language, etc . Plus the folks at meta wikimedia approved the change. Also usernames like sovietblobfish are allowed and don't attract scrutiny, but events like Holodomor were caused by the Soviet government. Blitzkriegswunder (talk) 12:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- There's quite a big difference between referencing the soviet union in relation to a blobfish, and referencing Nazi warfare as a "wunder". Most Germans are not fans of the blitzkrieg or anything that may seem to glorify anything from that period, and Polish editors might be seriously offended by the user name I guess. Whether whoever approved the name was aware of the connotations is not obvious. Fram (talk) 12:38, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Maybe, although I've never seen the blitzkrieg doctrine in a bad light, it's mostly the actions that are committed after the "blitz" that are looked down upon in my opinion. I will file a request for another username change. I just want something that will not personally identify me. Blitzkriegswunder (talk) 12:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@Robertsky: as this involves an action you took. Fram (talk) 12:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Fram I have requested another username change. Blitzkriegswunder (talk) 12:57, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you! Fram (talk) 21:36, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks @Fram for following up on this. I was busy IRL to respond to this proper. @Joe Roe had also opened a discussion just a day earlier than you with me on my talk page. Had meant to ask (now) All Tomorrows No Yesterdays if they would accept another renaming. Once again thanks for following up, and thanks to All Tomorrows No Yesterdays for requesting another change of the username. – robertsky (talk) 16:56, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
Reminder: GA backlog drive
[edit]Hello! Just a reminder that, if you have time, you are welcome to join the ongoing GA backlog drive; it runs until the end of January. You are receiving this message because you signed up on the drive page but have not yet listed any reviews. We hope to see you there! Either way, happy editing! —Ganesha811 (talk) 01:12, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
Feedback request: Politics, government, and law request for comment

Backlog Drive
[edit]I see that you removed your name from the GAN Backlog drive, and seeing your edit summary, I want to say that no one will laugh at your reviews. Sign up again anytime, it's not an issue. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 14:12, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ehhh.... better safe than sorry. God knows what my experience was at the Wikipedia discord. Made me a bit discouraged. All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 14:15, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- What are you referring to- I don't think anyone has made fun of any of your, or anyone's reviews? If you feel that something did sound like it was meant to make fun of anyone's reviews, then it was not, and apologise in case it unintentionally sounded like that? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 14:18, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Not made fun of per se, but they hit me complaint after complaint after complaint, heh I think you were a bit guilty of it to if i remember correctly (not blaming you for anything though, your criticisms were well-founded). All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 14:47, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Well, we just want to make sure everyone, including you, edits well, and sometimes that involves constructive criticism. Also, I noticed that you removed a header saying you'll be on a wikibreak after the reviews are done- so like are you back, or are you taking a wikibreak sooner? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 16:53, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- I changed my mind All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 10:41, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- No, I got that, but towards which option? I'll replying to the conversation at Talk:Vince Gill/GA1 per your wish. I just want to see the GAs being properly reviewed, as they are old, so if you aren't able to, someone else might like to review it bcs of the backlog drive. You aren't being constantly critiqued, only when you or something else makes edits of yours stand out. You can improve by reviewing easier and less GANs too though, you don't have to take multiple of them at a time. Yes, it's not an RFA, but certain standards of editing still apply in general.

Joining Wikipedia Project:Mizoram
[edit]Hey just wanted to ask how you can join the particular teams in specific Wikipedia projects? I had added a couple of articles on northeast india including ones on Mizoram such as: Zo Reunification Organization and would like to collaborate with others to develop them further thanks Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 10:01, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Just add your name to the member list @Flyingphoenixchips if you want to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Mizoram.
- Sadly though, WIkiproject Mizoram is practically dead, if you want to collaborate for articles, I think you should look at Wikipedia:WikiProject India. All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 12:37, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks mate! Cheers! Is there a Wikipedia project for northeast india in general, or if not- how do I start one Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 13:13, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sadly the Wikiproject creation process is currently put on hold. Plus, if you look at this MfD (basically articles which do not fit in other discussion areas which are put up for discussion to be deleted), you cna see that other editors have found the WikiProject to be too narrow. All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 13:19, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Alright valid. Any place in Wikipedia where you can propose article ideas, to get collaborators. I have been working on a few pages but it’s quite tasking to do this alone 🥲 have been reading full length papers myself Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 13:23, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Wiki project Mizoram has two active users so far. As far as I know I've been the only active one since new years. If you join with your name on the list it will be hopefully three. Collaboration can occur on certain topics still but the wiki project doesn't have the manpower to be ticked active unfortunately. Some users contribute to Mizoram but aren't in the wiki project too. Mmis325 (talk) 23:29, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sweet! Excited to help and Join! Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:04, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Eh, I've moved to other ventures. You guys can edit, make or nominate articles, I can review them All Tomorrows No Yesterdays (Ughhh.... What did I do wrong this time?) 16:18, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
