Hello, I started a MfD regarding Draft:Yemi Davids, your consensus would be appreciated. Thanks. Fancy Refrigerator ( talk) 21:06, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the G12 deletion of Slovisk. There's a copy of that same blog page at User:Ioannesko, but I can't tag it for deletion without an account. Could you please take a look? Thanks. 2A01:4C8:B3:B050:1C79:A64F:5833:3C67 ( talk) 14:57, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi! You wrote here "one good-faith but malformed edit does not a pattern of disruptive editing make", and of course that's perfectly true. I count not one but fifty IP edits to that page since 13 November 2022, some good, some bad; how many would constitute a pattern of disruptive editing in your view?

Hi Ivanvector, I didn't know there was an issue with adding COI or Autobiography tags to a draft. Certainly seems like it should be valid to apply them, particularly if the article is going to be sent to AfC at some point. I'm referring to Draft:Mehrdad Biazarikari in particular.

Hello. I saw that you've issued a block for Teflon Peter Christ (previously Isento and Pjotr Jr.) for editing certain articles. This uses has written the Alicia album article and has for a long time been policing the article and reverting virtually every edit made to the article. This behavior is evident if you look at the albums editing history, talk page discussions and my talk page. He regards the page his personal work that no one has right to edit. I have been at the receiving end of his namecalling and he has initiated a number of dispute resolution procedures to get me banned, because he didn't like the chances I made to the article. Can you block him from editing the Alicia article? Samsonite Man ( talk) 10:22, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

I just wanted to say thanks for the extra legwork at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2023 March 21##Mateusz Grzesiak. I'm also grateful for your assuming good faith in my original deletion. To be honest, I'm returning after a period of relative inactivity; and the last time I was this active as an admin, CSD cases like these weren't quite so controversial. Ten years ago a salted article like this would be binned in a heartbeat. But I'm getting more familiar with WP:PROD, the draft system, etc., and I'm trying to be less bold (for better or worse). I just saw a similar case appear at Renu Raj -- and it's frustrating to agree with the CSD tagger while not always having the time (or heart) to convert it into an AFD for them. Oh well, I'll stop rambling now. Thanks again. -- Hadal ( talk) 17:14, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi. The author of this draft first created
it as an article in October 2022. It
was deleted October 14. He turned
it into a draft on November 9. He moved
the draft into the mainspace on March 21, 2023, not long before the six-month point where drafts can be speedily deleted. The recreated article was speedily deleted on March 22. He recreated
the draft on March 31.

Hi. I'm going to ping Nthep as well, since you both have revdel'd the mainspace article about this draft. Currently, that same material has been added to the draft. Now, I'm unsure about the claims of it being a mirror, but I though you two might like to take a look at it. The draft, other than the copyvio issue, could be moved into mainspace, so we can stop having so many editor's time wasted. Onel5969 TT me 13:19, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).
Hello @ Ivanvector:! I want to know that you protect both if these templates, but the template protection is too restrictive per WP:TPROT, here's a quote from WP:TPROT that says:
A template-protected page can be edited only by administrators or users in the Template editor group. This protection level should be used almost exclusively on high-risk templates and modules.
It should not be used on less risky templates on the grounds that the template editor user right exists—the existence of the right should not result in more templates becoming uneditable for the general editing community. In borderline cases, extended confirmed protection or lower can be applied to high risk templates that the general editing community still needs to edit regularly.
For both of these templates because each of these only have a few transclusions so please downgrade it to either extended-confirmed or semi-protection. Vitaium ( talk) 23:57, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2023).
That page was most definitely not spam/promotion. Was it neutrally worded? No, hence my decision to decline the draft. But the topic is notable IMO, and if the tone of the page was reworded to be neutral and not favoring either side of the debate, I think it would have been acceptable.

Good Day!
I have been notified that the draft for The Voice (American season 25) has been deleted, citing WP:G3. I would like to refute this, as a cursory search shows that the season is very much real, and from recollection, multiple reliable sources support the article. While it may be too early to move the draft to article space, deleting it would just rob the eventual article of detailed coverage that may not be reproduced when started later.

Why would you remove prolifically documented allegations of corruption from his page? There are many newspaper articles corroborating these allegations which are supported by extensive documentation.

Hi @ Ivanvector. Your message to me in your edit feels quite bitey. Personally, I do not see any clear claim of significance. The article outlines her early life moving to Germany from Kenya, and then has some rather promotional-sounding wording about her "versatile skills" and "loyal following of fans who are drawn to her infectious energy and fierce spirit". Hmm, very encyclopediatic. To me this article clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:SINGER. Yours, Os ari us 13:47, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Ivanvector. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " St. Joseph's Health Care London".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 19:59, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Ivanvector,
You asked in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bayanni (2nd nomination) if there was a way to search for deleted pages and the only way I know is to use Special:Undelete. Of course, you have to have the name of the article of draft you are looking for or know some variations of it. But it is a resource that is available for editors to use. Liz Read!

As a Canadian senior admin - would you mind taking a look at what's going on with the University of New Brunswick page? Someone who claims to be a freshman there has been making extensive edits (too many diffs to list) without discussing any of those in Talk first. Then after making those edits, they mass-labeled the article for "missing" citations. They were warned on their User Talk to stop, but continued nevertheless (while claiming everything they do a priori improves the page, see for example this diff for an edit removing an obviously notable alumnus from India because they "know" she is not notable, so perhaps there is racial motivation here as well). You would think freshmen would be a bit more respectful and be studying hard - w/o spare time/interest to ruin the page of the university they attand. (But this total lack of respect could also mean they are taking revenge on UNB for bad grades or getting kicked out.) This well-established article on Canada's oldest university has been rated B for quality years back, so I was hoping you would take interest in fixing this obvious vandalism without much ado.

…before I use rollback in such a case for the first time.
Just wanted to doubly confirm that the accounts (and potentially IPs?) at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Najaf ali bhayo are socks that can be BANREVERTED.
I know this is probably a stupid thing to need confirmation for but I really don’t want my first use of rollback in a banreverting scenario to end up being a mistake/mess that needs even more cleanup lol. So I thought I’d check first out of abundance of caution/to be better safe than sorry.

I came across this new user while checking different edits by editors on article Chandrayaan-3. This New editor, created account on 5 September 2023 but surprisingly has all knowledge and information of certain platforms on Wikipedia and boasts with confidence. This user doesn't seem like a new user at all but might be either one of the blocked accounts or maybe a sockpuppet.
This new account screams that this user is not new but either a sock of former blocked account or maybe a sock of an existing account. I have my suspicions on three accounts but do not want to mention any name without much evidence but I think its best for administrators or checkusers to run the investigation. 192.189.187.112 ( talk) 17:05, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Dear Vanya, I have seen your edits to the article Greece-Ukraine relationships, and I would like to inform you that the article about the third largest city in Ukraine is titled Odesa. Why did you insist on using the spelling Odessa? Regards, - Rggsxbjysxb ( talk) 14:29, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I saw that you've issued a block for Teflon Peter Christ (previously Isento and Pjotr Jr.) for editing certain articles. This uses has written the Alicia album article and has for a long time been policing the article and reverting virtually every edit made to the article. This behavior is evident if you look at the albums editing history, talk page discussions and my talk page. He regards the page his personal work that no one has right to edit. I have been at the receiving end of his namecalling and he has initiated a number of dispute resolution procedures to get me banned, because he didn't like the chances I made to the article. Can you block him from editing the Alicia article? Samsonite Man ( talk) 10:22, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

I just wanted to say thanks for the extra legwork at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2023 March 21##Mateusz Grzesiak. I'm also grateful for your assuming good faith in my original deletion. To be honest, I'm returning after a period of relative inactivity; and the last time I was this active as an admin, CSD cases like these weren't quite so controversial. Ten years ago a salted article like this would be binned in a heartbeat. But I'm getting more familiar with WP:PROD, the draft system, etc., and I'm trying to be less bold (for better or worse). I just saw a similar case appear at Renu Raj -- and it's frustrating to agree with the CSD tagger while not always having the time (or heart) to convert it into an AFD for them. Oh well, I'll stop rambling now. Thanks again. -- Hadal ( talk) 17:14, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for salting this earlier. Just so you are aware, the editor involved has circumvented the salting by creating Bayu Aji (footballer, born 2000). I'll warn them. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:30, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi. The author of this draft first created
it as an article in October 2022. It
was deleted October 14. He turned
it into a draft on November 9. He moved
the draft into the mainspace on March 21, 2023, not long before the six-month point where drafts can be speedily deleted. The recreated article was speedily deleted on March 22. He recreated
the draft on March 31.

Hi. I'm going to ping Nthep as well, since you both have revdel'd the mainspace article about this draft. Currently, that same material has been added to the draft. Now, I'm unsure about the claims of it being a mirror, but I though you two might like to take a look at it. The draft, other than the copyvio issue, could be moved into mainspace, so we can stop having so many editor's time wasted. Onel5969 TT me 13:19, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).
Hello @ Ivanvector:! I want to know that you protect both if these templates, but the template protection is too restrictive per WP:TPROT, here's a quote from WP:TPROT that says:
A template-protected page can be edited only by administrators or users in the Template editor group. This protection level should be used almost exclusively on high-risk templates and modules.
It should not be used on less risky templates on the grounds that the template editor user right exists—the existence of the right should not result in more templates becoming uneditable for the general editing community. In borderline cases, extended confirmed protection or lower can be applied to high risk templates that the general editing community still needs to edit regularly.
For both of these templates because each of these only have a few transclusions so please downgrade it to either extended-confirmed or semi-protection. Vitaium ( talk) 23:57, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

That page was most definitely not spam/promotion. Was it neutrally worded? No, hence my decision to decline the draft. But the topic is notable IMO, and if the tone of the page was reworded to be neutral and not favoring either side of the debate, I think it would have been acceptable.

Good Day!
I have been notified that the draft for The Voice (American season 25) has been deleted, citing WP:G3. I would like to refute this, as a cursory search shows that the season is very much real, and from recollection, multiple reliable sources support the article. While it may be too early to move the draft to article space, deleting it would just rob the eventual article of detailed coverage that may not be reproduced when started later.

Why would you remove prolifically documented allegations of corruption from his page? There are many newspaper articles corroborating these allegations which are supported by extensive documentation.

Hi @ Ivanvector. Your message to me in your edit feels quite bitey. Personally, I do not see any clear claim of significance. The article outlines her early life moving to Germany from Kenya, and then has some rather promotional-sounding wording about her "versatile skills" and "loyal following of fans who are drawn to her infectious energy and fierce spirit". Hmm, very encyclopediatic. To me this article clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:SINGER. Yours, Os ari us 13:47, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Ivanvector. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " St. Joseph's Health Care London".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 19:59, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Ivanvector,
You asked in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bayanni (2nd nomination) if there was a way to search for deleted pages and the only way I know is to use Special:Undelete. Of course, you have to have the name of the article of draft you are looking for or know some variations of it. But it is a resource that is available for editors to use. Liz Read!

Good morning from Campora San Giovanni, Calabria, I am writing to say hello and know how you are. In addition to this, to ask you for a small courtesy. Would you like to fix the page and make it a bit more encyclopaedic? I tried to create it, it seemed right that the actress too should have her "place in the sun", using an Italian expression.

As a Canadian senior admin - would you mind taking a look at what's going on with the University of New Brunswick page? Someone who claims to be a freshman there has been making extensive edits (too many diffs to list) without discussing any of those in Talk first. Then after making those edits, they mass-labeled the article for "missing" citations. They were warned on their User Talk to stop, but continued nevertheless (while claiming everything they do a priori improves the page, see for example this diff for an edit removing an obviously notable alumnus from India because they "know" she is not notable, so perhaps there is racial motivation here as well). You would think freshmen would be a bit more respectful and be studying hard - w/o spare time/interest to ruin the page of the university they attand. (But this total lack of respect could also mean they are taking revenge on UNB for bad grades or getting kicked out.) This well-established article on Canada's oldest university has been rated B for quality years back, so I was hoping you would take interest in fixing this obvious vandalism without much ado.

…before I use rollback in such a case for the first time.
Just wanted to doubly confirm that the accounts (and potentially IPs?) at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Najaf ali bhayo are socks that can be BANREVERTED.
I know this is probably a stupid thing to need confirmation for but I really don’t want my first use of rollback in a banreverting scenario to end up being a mistake/mess that needs even more cleanup lol. So I thought I’d check first out of abundance of caution/to be better safe than sorry.

I came across this new user while checking different edits by editors on article Chandrayaan-3. This New editor, created account on 5 September 2023 but surprisingly has all knowledge and information of certain platforms on Wikipedia and boasts with confidence. This user doesn't seem like a new user at all but might be either one of the blocked accounts or maybe a sockpuppet.
This new account screams that this user is not new but either a sock of former blocked account or maybe a sock of an existing account. I have my suspicions on three accounts but do not want to mention any name without much evidence but I think its best for administrators or checkusers to run the investigation. 192.189.187.112 ( talk) 17:05, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
