You may be eligible to vote in the U4C election
I am contacting you because you previously voted in elections related to the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). You may be eligible to vote in the current U4C election, which is open now and closes on 2 June 2026. You can find out more about the candidates and the election on the election page on Meta, and from there you can access the vote itself. Your participation in these elections is important to the governance of Wikimedia communities, and your time spent learning about the candidates and voting is appreciated.
— In cooperation with the U4C, Keegan (WMF) (talk)

User with a rude name
Hi, I noticed several of the edit summaries on Lithium-ion battery had their username and summaries scrubbed, but a revert that mentions the username wasn’t. Since you banned this user, I thought you may have also been the one that made these removals, and might want to know. Thanks, CommonsKiwi (talk) 14:45, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
- I didn’t do the block but just helped with the cleanup. Anyways, thanks for the note, I’ve revdel’ed that one too. Legoktm (talk) 16:37, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
