From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. The common cuttlefish is one of the largest and best-known cuttlefish species. They are a migratory species that spend the summer and spring inshore for spawning and then move to depths of 100 to 200m during autumn and winter. They only have a lifespan of 1–2 years and have many predators including sharks, dolphins, seals, fish, and cephalopods which includes other cuttlefish. During the day, most cuttlefish can be found buried below the substrate and fairly inactive. At night however, they are actively searching for prey and can ambush them from under the substrate. Cuttlefish are carnivorous and eat a variety of organisms including crustaceans (crabs and shrimp), small fish, molluscs (clams and snails), and sometimes other cuttlefish.

Please stop

re-adding the old RFC tag. If for some reason you absolutely insist on listing this as a RFC, generate a new RFCID.—S Marshall T/C

@S Marshall: Sure, will do. Some1 (talk) 00:20, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
Thank you. That's cleaner. I'm intrigued: why do you insist on this being an RFC?—S Marshall T/C 00:24, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
Having it listed on WP:RFC/All will increase the amount of comments the discussion gets. Some1 (talk) 00:30, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
Ok, as you wish. In my experience it usually does increase the number of comments but decreases their average quality.
I hope that in future we'll be able to generate a searchable index of closed and current RFCs, and to facilitate that, I'm trying to keep it to one question per RFCID and one RFCID per question.—S Marshall T/C 00:40, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
To me, an increase in the number of comments gives us a better view of what the "consensus" actually is, since we're requesting input from the "broader community" and not just from those who have the article watchlisted. Regarding RFCIDs, I guess I don't really pay attention to them since I don't close RfCs. Some1 (talk) 01:10, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

Question about removing the Statistics Canada and Australian Census ranges from the Gen Alpha and Beta articles

Hey there, Some1. I wanted to ask you for your opinion on the census ranges that are found on the Alpha and Beta articles : the “2011–2021” and “2013–2021” ranges. It appears to me that the only reason the ranges end at 2021 is because that was when both census were taken. The Canadian and Australian governments both are about to do a brand new census this 2026 year,and most likey are going to change the ranges. I think that how they are currently suck (the 2021 end dates) and both confusing and irrelevant for readers, when the McCrindle, Jean Twenge, and Pew ranges are more heavily cited. However, I may be wrong with this assessment. Also, I’m probably going to be away for awhile on vacation, and may make the edits in a couple of months from now, lol. ChicagoGirlD (talk) 07:44, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi ChicagoGirlD, I haven't looked too closely at the Gen Alpha and Beta date ranges, but they should be attributed to Statistics Canada and the Australian Census if that's where those ranges come from. Have a great vacation! Some1 (talk) 12:48, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Airport destination lists sourcing RfC

Hi there,

I'm leaving this message because you contributed to the recent RfC regarding the inclusion of airport destination lists. As promised, now that that RfC has closed, I've initiated a further discussion about the sourcing standards to be applied to these lists.

If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please do so at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Airport destination lists - sourcing requirements.

Cheers! Danners430 tweaks made 15:40, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Email

I've read your email, and had a quick look at what you mentioned, but checking these things thoroughly, comparing different bits of editing history etc, can be fiddly on a phone, which is what I mostly use, so it will have to wait until I'm on a computer, which is likely to be quite a few hours away. JBW (talk) 12:19, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

JBW No problem -- It's not of too high importance, so feel free to take your time! :) Some1 (talk) 15:38, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
I've received a Wikipedia notification of another email from you, but it hasn't arrived. This has happened before, recently, and I've now had a notification that Wikipedia has unsubscribed my email address because of multiple delivery failures. I have changed my Wikipedia email to a different email account, so if you would like to try sending it again I hope I will get it this time. JBW (talk) 00:40, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – February 2026

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2026).

Arbitration

  • Due to the result of a recent motion, a rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may impose an expanded topic ban on Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs, if an editor's Arab-Israeli conflict topic ban is determined to be insufficient to prevent disruption. At least one diff per area expanded into should be cited.

Going to be away for a while

Hey @Some1, thank you for being there for my Wikipedia journey. I'm going to take a couple months off starting today. I'm a bit down in the dumps and a bit tired, so I'm not going to continue with the current debate on the talks page for Gen Z. I apologize if I was getting annoying. I left the updated 2025 Jason Dorsey source from his main web page (which he uses 1997–2012) on the talk page as well as in footnote b in the main body of the 1997 section. I think that it helps my argument, either way I'm gonna chill for awhile. Thank you. ChicagoGirlD (talk) 04:47, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

ChicagoGirlD, I hope you're not feeling discouraged because of the recent dispute with the other editor. Unfortunately, disputes like that (with editors edit-warring over article versions, scary talk page warnings, full-page protections, etc.) are all too common on this project. (See the Palestine/Israel topic area, for example, or articles dealing with American Politics). Anyway, mental health is always more important than Wikipedia. Thanks for all your work on those articles; enjoy your break and come back whenever you feel like it. Take care, Some1 (talk) 05:21, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
