3-D Tic-Tac-Toe is not a stub and is not primarily about a video game
This is the second time you've tried to add the "videogame stub" template to that article and the second time I've reverted. Although the Atari videogame is mentioned that is not the article's primary topic: 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe is not a "video game"; the game existed long before the Atari implementation did, long before video games existed, long before the first computer implementation of any sort. Re the game itself, the article is hardly at the "stub" level. It has multiple sections and multiple references, including to mathematical analyses of the game. So please take the article off of your "radar". Thanks. Jeh (talk) 16:50, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- Ah, sorry. You're right, it's not a stub, and even if it was {{video-game-stub}} probably wouldn't have been the best template. Sorry about that, I'll refrain from tagging it as such in the future. — Omni Flames (talk contribs) 22:07, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello Omni Flames. Your account has been granted the "file mover" user right, either following a request for it or due to a clear need for for the ability to move files.

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 8
This month:
In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce Wikipedia Requests is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from SuggestBot, Reports bot, or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health (which I work on as part of my NIOSH duties) and WikiProject Women scientists.
Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the Add form to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)
With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying article=, category=, or wikiproject=, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{Wikipedia Requests|category=Living people}}. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!
The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.
If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.
WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that Reports bot generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.
And indeed: Citation Hunt, the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.
Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name s52475__wpx_p. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called projectindex. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!
- The work on the CollaborationKit extension continues. The extension will initially focus on reducing template and Lua bloat on WikiProjects (especially our WPX UI demonstration projects), and will from there create custom interfaces for creating and maintaining WikiProjects.
- The WikiCite meeting will be in Berlin in May. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how to build a bibliographic database for use on the Wikimedia projects. This fits in quite nicely with WikiProject X's work: we want to make it easier for people to find things to work on, and with a powerful, open bibliographic database, we can build recommendations for sources. This feature was requested by the Wikipedia Library back in September, and this meeting is a major next step. We look forward to seeing what comes out of this meeting.
Until next time,

Regarding Dhee (singer)
Hi,
Dhee has not sung in Madras, it was actually Sakthisree Gopalan. Thanks.

The witch of the low tide
Hello
Do you think no comments on the plots of novels are allowed? Is that Wikipedia policy? A genuine question, it may be for all I know. But I would like a reference for that.
Have you read 'the witch of the low tide'? It does deal with the sexual abuse of a child by her guardian where the sympathies of the writer are with the abuser. How is it sexist to say so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.213.81 (talk) 10:50, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
- While your comments may well have been true, they weren't a) backed up by a reliable source and b) written in an encyclopedic tone. Omni Flames let's talk about it 22:05, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
Catalan text
Hallo, sorry not to have thought to provide a reason. There were two sources listed for the Catalan Statute of Autonomy - both led to dead links. I found an up to date link to a PDF file, and inserted that in place of one of the broken links, but then removed the other dead one too. I hope that's helpful! Mark, England — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.249.167 (talk) 10:53, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

LeBlanc edit
The removed sentence was one I had added earlier, then considered potentially confusing for referring to Leblanc's buyer as Conn-Selmer where elsewhere the buyer is referred to as Steinway. It was also out of the temporally logical flow of the article. The most recent version of the article is the one we should keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.111.51.98 (talk) 01:20, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
- Okay! I've reverted the edit and will remove the warning. Just letting you know that it would be helpful if you could leave an edit summary in the future, when you're removing content. Omni Flames let's talk about it 01:24, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Banton, Romblon
Also pinging @Lawrence ruiz:. I've reviewed the DYK nomination. The problems are >>However, the page is part of a merger discussion, and, although not related to the hook, the text of the climate section is the same as the third paragraph of the final paragraph of the Geo-Physical Environment section of this page (http://www.romblonprov.gov.ph/pages.php?m=romblon_province), which is worrying from a plagiarism point of view.<<
If these problems are fixed, I'm sure it will pass next time. Red Fiona (talk) 21:17, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll try to get them fixed :) Omni Flames let's talk about it 23:21, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hello, Red Fiona and Omni Flames, I've corrected the climate section to adhere to your concerns/suggestions. It's hard explaining climatic terms in a different way, especially for someone who is not a meteorologist. Thanks for the suggestion though. — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 03:01, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- Awesome. I'm pinging @Jolly_Janner because I'm not sure what to do about the merger issue, because otherwise I think this should pass.Red Fiona (talk) 20:53, 27 April 2016 (UTC) - Edit, trying that again - @Jolly Janner: Red Fiona (talk) 20:54, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Red Fiona! The merger issue has now been resolved. I hope you could consider this article now that the issue has been resolved. — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 06:46, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
