  • I noticed, last night, that encyc restricts unregistered people from looking at the contributors contribution history.

Thank you for adding me to the automoderated user group. But, I am still restricted from viewing contribution Histories, even my own contribution history. I started almost half a dozen pages last night. Which ones were they?

• Okay, I can find my recent contributions on the recent changes page.

In a very brief while my contributions will fall off the recent changes page.

I'd still like to be permitted to use the user contributions button. Geo Swan (talk) 13:40, 6 January 2025 (EST)

• Ping @Enki, I'd like permission to upload fair use images please. Geo Swan (talk) 13:53, 6 January 2025 (EST)

You have been added to the "editor" user group, which should enable those privileges. Enki (talk) 11:07, 7 January 2025 (EST)

Biography policy

This was written a long time ago, and is probably due for an update, but you should be aware of Encyc:Biography policy.

At the time, I was concerned about the site being used as a revenge platform. As it turns out, most of the BLPs people want to write seem to be very complimentary, and there have never been any complaints or requests to take them down. But you seem to be an experienced editor. What do you think about biographies of living persons? Enki (talk)

Citizendium

You mentioned you used to edit Citizendium. How is it going over there? I haven't checked it much since Larry Sanger left. Enki (talk) 14:20, 10 January 2025 (EST)

Edits

So I'm a little obsessed with WWII. Feel free to revert me if you find that my edits to your articles do not add value. Enki (talk) 15:21, 14 January 2025 (EST)
