Here's a barnstar!

You're just too fast, you hear? Thank you for your work, and it won't continue to go unnoticed. Utopes (talk) 02:42, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't even check the month. Thanks, and I'll check a bit better in the future. Enterprisey (talk!) 02:44, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Missouri v. Frye

On 13 December 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Missouri v. Frye, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after ineffective counsel led to a man's prison sentence being increased a hundredfold, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that attorneys are obligated to inform their clients about plea bargain offers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Missouri v. Frye. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Missouri v. Frye), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Discretionary sanctions on Jeff Van Drew

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Ellen Feiss Link

Hello, I recently added a link to EllenFeiss.net on the Switch Campaign page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_(ad_campaign)#External_links

It was referenced in LA Times, Wired and NPR so I thought it would be fitting for this page.

Sources: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-aug-23-lv-ellenfeiss23-story.html http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1148994 http://archive.wired.com/gadgets/mac/commentary/cultofmac/2002/08/54333?currentPage=all — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flatsoda (talkcontribs) 03:14, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm reluctant to say that they are really appropriate here because that site is only a passing mention in the articles you linked. If it was more extensive then it would probably be okay, but according to the policy on external links, links to fansites should typically be avoided. – Frood (talk) 03:22, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
For reporting countless advertising-only accounts at WP:AIV, you deserve a barnstar. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 04:01, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

I asked the creator of that article to delete it, instead of editing it myself. Isn't that a much more acceptable solution? I have a lot to learn! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.235.49 (talk) 03:21, 27 December 2019 (UTC) Maybe create Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ciccun ot Sla? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.235.49 (talk) 03:24, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

In this case, since the article doesn't appear to be available in another language, I've just added the {{not english}} tag to the page. I'm not sure what language that is, nor is Google Translate... If it was available in another language then it might qualify for speedy deletion, but since it's not, it's not eligible for that. – Frood (talk) 03:26, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
