Thank you, -- Ooligan (talk) 03:39, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:@Ooligan: Since they seem to be related to German naval operations in WW II, the most likely place to find interested editors is probably the MILHIST WikiProject. I left a message there. Regards SoWhy 20:52, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::Vielen Dank- for helping this historic United States government information to Volunteers that can understand it and put ii to use in various projects and pages. -- Ooligan (talk) 21:45, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Adding the link, kindly created by SoWhy, to the WP:MilHist talk page here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Uploads of possible interest for this project at Commons. -- Ooligan (talk) 22:13, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi SoWhy

someone recommended I get an experienced editor to adopt me and help me. I’m asking you because I see your an Admin. I want to help out anc contribute by blocking vandals and deciding which pages to delete. You can find out more about me on my user page and also some of the other posts I made. I thought maybe I could get to know you and then we could take it from their. L$Aiden$L (talk) 17:13, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

:@L$Aiden$L: Thank you for your message and your interest. Unfortunately, I fear my days as an adopter are behind me, since I no longer have sufficient time to dedicate to editing Wikipedia. If you are interested in adoption, WP:ADOPTERS has a list of users interested in adopting. I'm sure you will be able to find someone there {{=)}} Regards SoWhy 21:05, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

File:Green check.svg Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{t|sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

{{Ivmbox|Hello SoWhy. Following a request for comment in May 2025, the community has decided to implement an activity requirement for the autopatrolled permission. Because your account has not edited in the last three years, the autopatrolled permission has been removed from your account. This action is purely procedural and does not affect your ability to create articles; if you return to actively creating articles, you may request that the permission be restored through the normal process. When returning, please consider taking some time to re-familiarize yourself with common practices and how they may have changed over the past few years if you wish to request the permission back. Thank you for all of your contributions to Wikipedia, and we hope to see you again soon. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:19, 14 May 2025 (UTC)|Wikipedia Autopatrolled.svg|imagesize=40px}}
