Invitation to participate in a research

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,

WMF Research Team

There is a difference

There is a difference between cities like St. Louis and Buffalo, St. Louis does not require state disambiguation per AP and Wiki style guide, but Buffalo, New York does, to disambiguate it from Buffalo, topics referred to by the same term. Applying a separate link for Missouri as you tried to do the first time is a direct violation of the MOS:GEOLINK and adding the link area over Missouri is just not an improvement when there is no blue there. Please see the first and second tick in MOS:GEOLINK where it shows the correct way to link cities that do not have the state in the articles actual title.

Also please do not suggest anyone "told someone they are stupid" according to your own words, when all I did was revert an edit you made in direct violation of a manual of style, and only stated the source. And I'm not new, I have thousands of edits. I understand "first time references are always wiki linked", according to your own words, but there are exceptions for the manual of style. Wamalotpark (talk) 19:39, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

LOL - buddy take a chill! First I didn't say you are stupid - lots of new editors don't know Wiki backwards and forwards. Second you claim the MOS as the reason for reverting my edit and then you say that the MOS has exceptions so it should just be ignored. Finally you've been editing for 6 months, your log count is app 500 (per Wiki), and your signature is in red, which means you are not verified, you have no personal page and I created your Talk page, so I'm not sure where the attitude is coming from....

I was trying to be helpful, but its clear if you get your back up on such a small thing you have no time for help. Ckruschke (talk) 16:49, 18 February 2025 (UTC)Ckruschke
