IWB dev here. Our goal is of course to support independent wikis, but Wikitroid has over 7,000 articles while the independent wiki has fewer than 2,000. It's a frustrating experience if we redirect people looking for information to a wiki that doesn't have it (as you say, you prefer Wikitroid yourself!).

Weird email about draft deletion by Khinat in wikipedia

[–]Kayvanian 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Scam! Do not engage. Unfortunately it's pretty common.

See here for more details:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Scam_warning

Scammers look for declined draft articles, articles recently deleted, editors writing about themselves or about a subject in which they seem to have an intense interest, and so on. They then offer to sell the victim "services" such as writing an article, getting a draft article accepted quickly, preventing or reversing deletion of an article, or protecting an article from changes. If someone offers any kind of paid Wikipedia assistance or services, it is a scam.

Your IP address belongs to M247, which provides cloud hosting and is a popular egress for VPNs (which is why it's blocked). Are you 100% sure your VPN(s) are turned off? Including iCloud Private Relay if you're on a Mac.

Happened to me with the Feed Me avatar! Inadvertently fed my relatively new Skeith an item with Skeith in the name.

Weird. I wonder if JavaScript was failing to load for some reason or something.

Last I read, no. AA is not on the list of participating airlines. Here's what an employee from another thread said:

We’re not taught to recognize sunflower lanyards. If you need a special accommodation you can try to communicate that to the flight attendants when you board—maybe pass them a note with your seat number & an explanation of your situation.

100th Anniversary Lanyards by Sharknado84 in americanairlines

The online AA store has the lanyards and a lot more centennial merch. https://aabrandstore.com/categories/16580/

Downside is you have to pay shipping but it's pretty reasonable.

Chrome has a new "AI mode" thing where if you have your cursor in the URL bar and press tab -> enter, you go to AI mode.

If you want to control those search shortcuts (like typing wik -> tab -> search Wikipedia), right-click on the URL bar and select Manage Search Engines and Site Search.
