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

FYI, Davey: This on my talk, and this novel on yet another creator's talk. No, they haven't given up!

@Bishonen, Only thought about this a few days ago and how oddly quiet it's been!, Anyway the temptation to AFD that self-promotional article is very strong! –Davey2010^Talk 23:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241106232000","author":"Davey2010","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Davey2010-20241106232000-Bishonen-20241106224400","replies":[]}}-->

Background timeline :

• You made the 2017-Dec-20 edit updating the infobox image per a consensus at ANI after a contentious discussion originating at the Talk for the Emily Beecham article.
• A 2017-Dec-20 update by Winkelvi (now blocked since 2018-Nov-01) changed the photo to a cropped and retouched version of the one you changed it to, and after that reduced the thumbnail size. This remained the main infobox image for most of the time afterwards.
• A new 2024-Aug-03 edit was made by an IP user to what appears to be a B&W professional shot (some other edits by this IP user were reverted).
• A recent 2024-Aug-24 edit by Pandemonium91871 (permanently banned, Aug-26, for sockpuppeting) changed the photo to what appears to be the photo that was causing all the discussion before ANI in 2017. This edit is the current photo being used in the infobox for this article.

Am I correct that the current photo is the 2017 problematic photo that you would eventually replace per ANI discussion? — al-Shimoni (talk) 11:19, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241107111900","author":"Imeriki al-Shimoni","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Imeriki_al-Shimoni-20241107111900-Emily_Beecham_photo","replies":["c-Davey2010-20241108182500-Imeriki_al-Shimoni-20241107111900"],"displayName":"al-Shimoni"}}-->

Hi @Imeriki al-Shimoni, Apologies for the long delay in getting back to you,

I've long forgotten this - I think this image was the one to use, I think this one was the problematic one?, But that's all guesswork, The second image is god awful so I have no idea why I reinstated it, I can only assume maybe at that time I caved in and said okay we'll use the second image, No idea but without a shadow of doubt this imho is the best image out of the 2, Thanks –Davey2010^Talk 18:25, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241108182500","author":"Davey2010","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Davey2010-20241108182500-Imeriki_al-Shimoni-20241107111900","replies":[]}}-->

Hi, when you reverted my edit regarding Marcello's last name from Dentamaro to Spooks, someone else has since changed it back. So I am not the only one doing this.

@Msalmon So you're a sheep that follows everyone without doing any thinking of your own, Right good to know. –Davey2010^Talk 16:16, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241116161600","author":"Davey2010","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Davey2010-20241116161600-Msalmon-20241116152500","replies":[]}}-->
