Hi Liz - you deleted Template:Song of Hope as I requested, but you moved it straight into mainspace... you probably shouldn't have done that as it's already been declined at Draft:Song For Hope and effectively you've just bypassed the AfC process. Richard3120 ( talk) 00:45, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
I see that you deleted the article. I would be grateful if you could return it to me so i can continue to edit it and try to get some people to help me edit it to so that we can go over it before submitting it.

Hello!
First of all many thanks for your admin work.
Looks like you deleted People's Hero (disambiguation) with edit comment G14: Unnecessary disambiguation page. I'm not sure that the uselessness of this dab page is so obvious at first glance. There were a number of quite notable awards, especially in Eastern Block countries, with the names People's Hero, National Hero, Hero of the People or just Hero, often among the highest-rank awards. The translation of these titles is often used interchangeably. The topic is covered with more detail and context at Hero (title), however a dab page would seem to be a useful complement to directly point to the related articles. I cannot see what the dab page looked like before the deletion though. The existence of the Yugoslav Order of the People's Hero and the Hero of the People (Albania), alone, invalidate the G14 rationale imho. Note that there are still incoming links at Hero (disambiguation) and Order of the People's Hero.
Would you care to restore the dab page, even in a personal space, or do you wish me to raise it at DRV? Place Clichy ( talk) 09:32, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
I see that you have become aware of User:Soul Crusher's creations as you've nominated 9 categories they created for speedy deletion. Other editors have also pointed out that many of their edits have issues, whether it's problematic redirects, creating multiple articles with WP:NALBUM issues.

Greetings! I kindly ask You for guidance in subject of redirecting art. Danielewicz to Danielewicz family. User Staszek Lem redirected Danielewicz to Danielewicz family without any consulting with me, the author of the art. It seems to me that this redirection is not proper as there are many families with surname Danielewicz and redirecting art. to Danielewicz family could indicate thate there is one family. I see not point of this redirection so I reverted it and notified Staszek about this, asking hin to not change anything without previouse consultation. Few hours later, I see that it goes back to where it was by John of Reading and TT me - still without any ntification or trying to discuss matter. Now I changed it back as it was from start again but as those guys as above seems to do what they wish to do without any discussion, I ask for help - what to do in this situation?

Issue 40, July – August 2020
Sent by MediaWiki message delivery on behalf of The Wikipedia Library team --10:14, 10 September 2020 (UTC) Hello Liz, I responded to your original comment on the speedy deletion of the page I was attempting to create for Camster, but you may not have seen it. Still pretty new to Wikipedia so havent gotten it all down. The contention for the page was that it is not a directory for businesses and I am attempting to try and understand a way to ensure it does not come off that way and would appreciate your help. My only intent is to provide information about the site for readers as I can see many like sites have done such and want to follow suit. We had noticed those pages and wanted to ensure that we provided similar facts and information about our site. Trying to find the best way about it and could appreciate any help you could provide. Thank you. Eloravsmedia ( talk) 20:55, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi, this is about Jadgali language (disambiguation). WP:G14 doesn't apply to redirects targeting pages that serve a disambiguation purpose, like certain types of lists or indexes. The target of this redirect does disambiguate the language name "Jadgali" (along with others), and the redirect itself is used in the hatnote at the main article. – Uanfala (talk) 10:17, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2020. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Election reminder: our end-of-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 December. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: An uncorrected typo (even copy editors make copy editing mistakes!) led to an eight-day "leap blitz" from 14 to 21 June, focusing on requests and articles tagged in May. 19 participating editors claimed 54 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Over 750,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event, keeping pace with the previous three self-isolated drives. Of the 38 people who signed up, 30 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 16 to 22 August, we copy edited articles tagged in June and July 2020 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 37 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Baffle gab1978, Tdslk, Twofingered Typist, and first-time coordinator Puddleglum2.0.

Hi Liz. I was actually in the midst of declining the CSD of Pnictogen hydrides when it failed because you accepted it. My summary was just along the lines that I'm already very conservative about unneeded redirects, but ones from plurals are pretty standard and useful for aids to linking and those readers who don't know our singular article titling convention.

Can you give some explanation of why you deemed the Padlet page "unambiguous advertising"? It was a straight-down-the-line - factual descriptions, no superlatives, and I even added text about questions about their business model to stave off this kind of action. I have no relationship to the site, which is linked to by dozens or hundreds of educational institution web pages. I was asked to use the site, and when I tried to find out about it, it was not on Wikipedia so I researched it myself. Do I have to make up bad stuff to say about them? Put another way, please tell me what your beef was so I can recreate the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oblivy ( talk • contribs) 05:36, 24 September 2020 (UTC) \
Please reconsider the speedy-deletion requests for the empty "births in year" categories. I think all but one of the "by year" categories in Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion were nominated by you.
These pages have a purpose. They are part of a "births by year" set. Deleting one means when someone writes an article about someone who was born in that year, there will be a non-empty red-category if they blindly add it to the appropriate category.
I can see several ways to solve this, all equally good:
The alternative, which is to manually delete categories then manually re-create them when they are no longer empty, is worse than just leaving all the categories in place even if they are empty.

Howdy Liz,
Knowing that you are an extremely busy Wiki editor, I shall keep this short. I am an avid follower of digital cinema, and thus have been following GDC Technology for years since GDC has contributed to the world's cinema during its transition from 35mm film to digital cinema. Everything I had written on GDC technology is factual information without any mention or promotion of GDC's products or services. Moreover, I used very reputable and accessible news references such as Bloomberg, Reuters, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter to support my contributions. I would be grateful if you could advise what was inappropriate about my GDC Technology Limited page. Regarding the original accusation from "1292Simon" about "not having enough sources and citations as written to remain published", I replied him in my Talk page.

Hi Liz, I saw somewhere you made a comment about doing batch deletions. Are you doing batch deletions of G13 content? If so, does this include articles that were not manually tagged as G13 but are identified as having no edits in the last six months in some other way? Batch deletions of G13 content are concerning to me because there is a significant amount of content that is unfairly declined. I think having some degree of human review in the deletion process is important. Also, there is a bot that reports on things nominated for G13 deletion, but im not sure it will pick up deletions if that tag was never applied. Calliopejen1 ( talk) 18:58, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I added a CSD tag to the draft Febrian Chandra. In your edit summary, you declined the CSD saying that foreign language drafts are allowed. [3]. I'm not sure if you saw that in fact my reason for deletion was actually G11, but I used custom rational instead to explain why I nominated it, and that I used Google Translate to translate it. The language was not the reason for nomination, but instead that it was promotional, albeit in Indonesian).

Liz, please reconsider the removal of category Antigua and Barbuda articles missing geocoordinate data]]. It is a “Possibly empty category”. At Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by country note that every country has such as list and that a few (such as Andorra and Liechtenstein) are empty. Some US States, such as Delaware, are empty on a regular basis - but they always get a few more articles missing coordinates and we all (especially me) need a place to find them. Partially my fault - I corrected the last article and did not add the Empty Category tag. I will be sure to add it to the restored category! Thank You.

Somewhat confused about why I was notified about this. Did I create the category? I rarely do this but it’s always while trying to categorize a specific article. Apparently, if so, the article itself has been deleted or recategorized. The topic sounds important enough for its own category, but I have no memory of creating it, and I guess if it’s empty it should be deleted (?) it can always be re-created if needed, right? My only concern is that we have trouble getting articles on Turkish topics, and I wonder what happened to the original article. (Wikipedia was blocked there and may still be.) Bottom line, if I was notified because I created it, and it’s now empty, I guess it should be deleted. Elinruby ( talk) 18:26, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
@ Liz: ok, thanks for explaining that to me. I am deep in something else right now but I will probably look into it quickly, next. If the category can re-created at some point for some suitable article, that assuages my primary concern. Elinruby ( talk) 08:48, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Might I suggest you not tag FloridaArmy’s drafts for g13 while they are temporarily blocked? It’s insensitive and adds fuel to an unnecessary fire. Praxidicae ( talk) 00:21, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
As Liz says, we have ben making improvements in screening, many of them due to her interesti n the problem and her excellent work. Unfortunately, there many that no one person can do it--by now we have I think 3 or 4, and that still is not enough. My own practice to to look at he ones coming up at Category:AfC G13 eligible soon submissions and try to keep at least a few days ahead , with thegoal of getting as far ahead as possible. I work by hovering over each title in turn, and I think I can be counted on to catch the ones who are academics or businesspeople or politicians , and to a lesser degree, conventional visual artists or classical musicians , or companies, and historical figures . If I can immediately fix, I do, and accept (especially the ones that have neve een been reviewed at all) But I skip totally over everyone in sports or in popular music, or in journalism, unless by chance I recognize the name. I will usually skip over people in other geographies where I can not even judge the likely notability without research, particularly if the sources are in languages I cannot read at all. (I always look at apparent translations from French or German) And of course I skip over the ones written in nonEnglish languages, or personal junk. I would e very grateful if I could be assurred thatsomeone was keeping an eye on the categories I cannot handle.
I'm not quiteas sanguin as Liza about the effectiveness of the subject screening, and especially of the quality screening, which I think often too generous. But this complements what I do, and I'm very reassured she looks from those perspectives.
I have one particular request=--many drafts have been declined as needing merges. Sometimes they have been merged, sometimes not, sometimes it's unnecessary. At the moment I'm almost always just marking them: my priority is to have enough time to actually check and merge at tleast the simpler ones. I'm working on a list of the ones I think need it, so others can more easily help. And one matter I do not want to be specific about: if you've done much of this ,you'll have noticed a few reviewers whose work cannot be trusted. I do not want otmention maes, but you can compare notes offline. At least one of them, though tending to decline everythign 6 months ago, has now become more selective in their current work. The worst of these have some time ago been removed from the list, but if there are others, I can and will do so. But I want to try to teach them first. DGG ( talk ) 07:57, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz, would you mind taking a look at 2020 California Proposition 16? I've been trying to mediate a content dispute there, but feel too involved to take action. A recently unblocked editor came back and restarted an edit war. I reverted and warned them. They participated on the talk page briefly, but now they're leaving misleading edit summaries. For example, claiming to format a table but looking at the edit, they don't introduce any table formatting, moved their preferred section above the other (like in the last edit), and edited a completely different section than the one implied; also they described an edit as a minor formatting change but actually removed sourced information. Seems obvious to me, but I don't want to look like I'm taking sides. Could you (or a talk page watcher) review and take necessary action? — Wug· a·po·des 00:26, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Liz, I'm still learning about writing articles on Wikipedia. Last July Nathan2055, moved an article I was drafting about Shannon Global Energy Solutions, and on Aug. 5, 2020, you deleted it. I realize why you deleted it; in hindsight, and with a critique from Jimfbleak, I see why the piece wasn't up to par or particularly encyclopedic. Jimfbleak restored the draft and suggested several edits, which I appreciate and have thanked him for. I've revised the entry and improved it. I'm certainly open to further input, but Jimfbleak suggested I now ask for a reviewer to look over Draft:Shannon Global Energy Solutions. Was I correct to add a COI statement to the talk page for this draft article and submit it for review? I want to follow the appropriate process. Thank you very much.

Liz, I infer you're disagreeing with my choice to file AE complaints, but you also haven't commented on the content of my cases, just the formatting, so I don't know what your thoughts are there. My understanding is that if an editor is violating DS, we are to report them if discussions do not help. If they are warned and repeat the same behavior, we file another AE complaint. I would prefer to just edit article content without putting my neck on the chopping block, but it seems unfeasible to edit under these conditions. Kolya Butternut ( talk) 22:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

hello,
thank you for your kind words. i appreciate your interjection.
it is upsetting to see a habitual edit-warring individual continue their conduct without any punishment.
what is especially bothersome is the fact they did not even read the sources and just involved themselves.
at what point do individuals who are "regulars" on WP:ANI or WP:DR sanctioned for their conduct?

Hi Liz. Can you explain why you deleted the Cantarito article, please? I was out with my wife drinking one, wanted to know what the ingredients were, and found that you'd deleted the article. Now I have no idea what I drank! If the Sazerac and the Negroni can have their own pages, why not the Cantarito?
Jalfrock ( talk) 22:59, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
A cantarito is a tequila-based highball, paloma-like cocktail served in a clay cup known as a jarrito that helps keep the drink cold. It can contain ingredients such as agave, lemon juice, lime juice, grapefruit juice, orange juice, sea salt, and grapefruit soda (or lemonade or limeade).
Hey there, Liz! :)
You have set up for SD 2 of the categories I created some days ago. Those categories are needed for the CS1 module to work properly in EnWiki. I don't usually work in EnWiki. I'm an admin at SqWiki/SqQuote and I'm 90% of the time only active at those sites, mainly helping in technical aspects, mostly related to references and citations, so I might not know the exact needed category creation guidelines or templates to use here but I can assure you those categories are needed for the technical aspect of the said module. At least the one related to JFM is 100% needed, according to my current technical knowledge of that module. You can check here for more information.
However, if I'm wrong, feel free to delete them. I was just trying to "give something back", since 90% of my "contributions" on EnWiki are questions or requests for help related to SqWiki problems.
Take care! :) - Klein Muçi ( talk) 15:05, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello there, an article on musician Yazmin Aziz got a speedy delete and I think I might be able to rewrite in a way that does a more effective job of establishing notability for the subject per WP:NMUSIC. When I went to make the draft the template suggested I contact you. [5] I haven't done a rewrite-from-deleted before so I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to be asking you. But here I am, asking. :) Thanks for your direction. TheMusicExperimental ( talk) 02:22, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
On the bolivia page, there is one editor who has been edit-warring and deleting info using biased reasoning https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Crmoorhead . The info that he deletes are solid and well backed by sources. So naturally, I undelete what he did and remind him that the info is well backed by sources.
He then undo my work in which I reply to him to please take it to the talk page. I ask him to take it to the talk page as I am certain that he knows that I am right but he doesn't take it to the talk page. Reason that he doesn't take it to the talk page is that he knows I'm right and he can't bs me. So instead, he makes a new section with arbitrary external reasons on the admin noticeboard with the intent to remove me instead. And ironically accuses me of edit-warring despite I had considered reporting him but I have no idea where to start.
I am not good with apologies but I will admit that maybe I was overly harsh on Materialscientist after he deleted all my edits but it was just a misunderstanding. He had assumed I was a vandal and undid all my work. And I accused him of being excessive in his actions and I should have handled it better. But after that one conflict, an external user Crmoorhead has had a grudge against me and hates me because I refuse to let him delete real info from Bolivia's page. He should be the one blocked for doing so and Wikipedia needs people like me to ensure people don't delete info they hate. This is my contribution history - /info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/49.180.129.245
Don't know where to start but you seem like you know the ropes. Can you help or point me to the right direction - I would like to request an investigation in the both of us -(me and Crmoorhead) and freely invite impartial people to determine who is the REAL VANDAL and who is the one opposing the vandalism. I am the latter hence I welcome such a review as I believe THAT is the real conflict between me and Crmoorhead. 49.180.129.245 ( talk) 06:54, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
Technical question for you: is this considered routine removal of unwanted comments, or are these comments considered part of the unblock request, especially since they were cited by the reviewing admin? I'm not particularly concerned about seeing my comment restored, but I am curious if that input is covered by the exception to WP:OWNTALK involving declined block requests. Grandpallama ( talk) 06:42, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
AFAIK, only the declined unblock request itself counts. Even proceeding comments from the admin who declined the request don't count.This is what I had always assumed, Nil Einne, but since Liz initially reverted their deletion, I thought perhaps that meant any discussion pertaining to a declined unblock also fell into the same category. Like I said, I am not looking to have those comments included, nor am I griefing Liz for restoring them, but it isn't spelled out at WP:OWNTALK and it made me genuinely curious about how admins view it. Grandpallama ( talk) 15:30, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz,
Thanks for all the work you do to make wikipedia a resource that can grow and change with the community (all of us).
I recently posted a new draft of this wiki page for Michael Colby: /info/en/?search=Draft:Michael_Colby, and it would be great if you could post the article now that the sources have been updated and problematic content edited out.

Hi, I have just seen that you have deleted this page ( /info/en/?search=International_Motor_Film_Awards). It was originally removed in February for not having enough suitable references, so the new page was built with a lot more references and irrelevant ones thinned down. Instead of just removing it, can you feedback on how it could be improved? Thank you! Joshmayer84 ( talk) 01:55, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz! Yeah I saw the deletion discussion page with the reasons, but this was back in February. While the page may appear similar/a duplicate to the initially deleted one, it has been greatly improved, with legitimate sources such as newspapers added. I'm still new to Wikipedia so still learning sorry. Thank you... I will try to improve it more and submit it to Articles for Creation for approval. Joshmayer84 ( talk) 02:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz
You reverted this edit of mine [10]
The content I removed at WP:ANI was posted by DePiep into the middle of my content. In a previous edit at WP:ANI, DePiep objected to my postings inside his content, and reverted them, along with a request to cease and desist, which I subsequently respected.
By inserting his post into my content at WP:ANI, DePeip breached a standard of conduct he expected of me. I therefore removed his content, along with a comment: "remove interference by DePiep in my post" [11], which I trust you saw.
I posted a warning to DePiep about this at WP:ANI, here [12].
I intend to revert your revert.
WP:ANI is stressful. When you revert me without doing due diligence, that adds to my stress. In future, as an Amin especially, I ask you to take the time to do due diligence, especially at WP:ANI, before reverting.
I've attempted to stay stay cool; not be a jerk or a drama mama; and assume good faith. --- Sandbh ( talk) 06:06, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Thank you Liz, for your prompt response. Pardon me, it looks like a "cookie-cutter" reply, that does not take account of the background to my question, as I set out above.
Does this mean that another editor can post comments inside my posts?
As I noted above:
If if is indeed that case that it's OK for an editor to post inside another editor's post at WP:ANI, I'll add this to the draft of the WP:ANI protocol I intend to develop.
best regards, Sandbh ( talk) 00:16, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
This was coming up for G13 but I found it potentially valuable and edited it 21 October. Nevertheless, you deleted it 28 October (I then got a WP:REFUND).

Hi Liz. Just a quick question about this edit. I did prod the soundtrack album's cover art for deletion and since it was deleted I get removing the file's syntax and caption from the infobox. However, I'm not sure why you removed the entire infobox itself. Not complaining about its removal; just curious as to why. For reference, you did the same at The Elephant Man (film) and The Five Heartbeats. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:34, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
I noticed you deleted the Mann + Hummel article that I had started for being unambiguously promotional. I have included the links to articles in other languages that you may want to delete as they have been written along the same lines. I started the article because they had been linked in another article so I thought I would help get the article started but apparently I was wrong. Please let me know how the article was promotional and was unable to replaced with neutral language as I am sure you know this, that is preferable to deletion.

To be honest I would rather not contribute anything to a project that makes it so easy for things to be deleted. It is far less work to delete things than to make things better, so I will just not contribute. Good luck deleting information. Mrtrey99 ( talk) 19:33, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
I would say that once something is marked for speedy deletion it is very easy to delete, you in fact mentioned that you use a batch delete and accidentally deleted some articles. You could spend time improving articles but apparently deleting information is what you are into. I have some books that aren't very notable if you like to burn them.
I typically only add content when there is a gap in the information on Wikipedia. You are not the first deletionist that I have encountered and been discouraged by. I started contributing to Wikipedia in 2004 when stubs were encouraged and welcome. No more, the deletionists make sure no new articles go unturned. One day Wikipedia will reach its perfection and be a single article.

Hello!
First of all many thanks for your admin work.
Looks like you deleted People's Hero (disambiguation) with edit comment G14: Unnecessary disambiguation page. I'm not sure that the uselessness of this dab page is so obvious at first glance. There were a number of quite notable awards, especially in Eastern Block countries, with the names People's Hero, National Hero, Hero of the People or just Hero, often among the highest-rank awards. The translation of these titles is often used interchangeably. The topic is covered with more detail and context at Hero (title), however a dab page would seem to be a useful complement to directly point to the related articles. I cannot see what the dab page looked like before the deletion though. The existence of the Yugoslav Order of the People's Hero and the Hero of the People (Albania), alone, invalidate the G14 rationale imho. Note that there are still incoming links at Hero (disambiguation) and Order of the People's Hero.
Would you care to restore the dab page, even in a personal space, or do you wish me to raise it at DRV? Place Clichy ( talk) 09:32, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Greetings! I kindly ask You for guidance in subject of redirecting art. Danielewicz to Danielewicz family. User Staszek Lem redirected Danielewicz to Danielewicz family without any consulting with me, the author of the art. It seems to me that this redirection is not proper as there are many families with surname Danielewicz and redirecting art. to Danielewicz family could indicate thate there is one family. I see not point of this redirection so I reverted it and notified Staszek about this, asking hin to not change anything without previouse consultation. Few hours later, I see that it goes back to where it was by John of Reading and TT me - still without any ntification or trying to discuss matter. Now I changed it back as it was from start again but as those guys as above seems to do what they wish to do without any discussion, I ask for help - what to do in this situation?

Hi, this is about Jadgali language (disambiguation). WP:G14 doesn't apply to redirects targeting pages that serve a disambiguation purpose, like certain types of lists or indexes. The target of this redirect does disambiguate the language name "Jadgali" (along with others), and the redirect itself is used in the hatnote at the main article. – Uanfala (talk) 10:17, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Can you give some explanation of why you deemed the Padlet page "unambiguous advertising"? It was a straight-down-the-line - factual descriptions, no superlatives, and I even added text about questions about their business model to stave off this kind of action. I have no relationship to the site, which is linked to by dozens or hundreds of educational institution web pages. I was asked to use the site, and when I tried to find out about it, it was not on Wikipedia so I researched it myself. Do I have to make up bad stuff to say about them?

Please reconsider the speedy-deletion requests for the empty "births in year" categories. I think all but one of the "by year" categories in Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion were nominated by you.
These pages have a purpose. They are part of a "births by year" set. Deleting one means when someone writes an article about someone who was born in that year, there will be a non-empty red-category if they blindly add it to the appropriate category.
I can see several ways to solve this, all equally good:
The alternative, which is to manually delete categories then manually re-create them when they are no longer empty, is worse than just leaving all the categories in place even if they are empty.

Howdy Liz,
Knowing that you are an extremely busy Wiki editor, I shall keep this short. I am an avid follower of digital cinema, and thus have been following GDC Technology for years since GDC has contributed to the world's cinema during its transition from 35mm film to digital cinema. Everything I had written on GDC technology is factual information without any mention or promotion of GDC's products or services. Moreover, I used very reputable and accessible news references such as Bloomberg, Reuters, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter to support my contributions. I would be grateful if you could advise what was inappropriate about my GDC Technology Limited page. Regarding the original accusation from "1292Simon" about "not having enough sources and citations as written to remain published", I replied him in my Talk page.

the idea that they are relying on white-passing "latinos" is incredibly racist to me. I may agree with you regarding the diversity of the membership.

Hi,
I wrote the article
Gabbie Carter.
I do not know how to deal with the
draft. I could not request its deletion at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, because it is a draft, not an article. I also did not find a criterion for a
speedy deletion.
My concern is that the complete article would be overwritten by this draft.

Hi Liz, I saw somewhere you made a comment about doing batch deletions. Are you doing batch deletions of G13 content? If so, does this include articles that were not manually tagged as G13 but are identified as having no edits in the last six months in some other way? Batch deletions of G13 content are concerning to me because there is a significant amount of content that is unfairly declined. I think having some degree of human review in the deletion process is important. Also, there is a bot that reports on things nominated for G13 deletion, but im not sure it will pick up deletions if that tag was never applied. Calliopejen1 ( talk) 18:58, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I added a CSD tag to the draft Febrian Chandra. In your edit summary, you declined the CSD saying that foreign language drafts are allowed. [3]. I'm not sure if you saw that in fact my reason for deletion was actually G11, but I used custom rational instead to explain why I nominated it, and that I used Google Translate to translate it. The language was not the reason for nomination, but instead that it was promotional, albeit in Indonesian).

Liz, please reconsider the removal of category Antigua and Barbuda articles missing geocoordinate data]]. It is a “Possibly empty category”. At Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by country note that every country has such as list and that a few (such as Andorra and Liechtenstein) are empty. Some US States, such as Delaware, are empty on a regular basis - but they always get a few more articles missing coordinates and we all (especially me) need a place to find them. Partially my fault - I corrected the last article and did not add the Empty Category tag. I will be sure to add it to the restored category! Thank You.

Somewhat confused about why I was notified about this. Did I create the category? I rarely do this but it’s always while trying to categorize a specific article. Apparently, if so, the article itself has been deleted or recategorized. The topic sounds important enough for its own category, but I have no memory of creating it, and I guess if it’s empty it should be deleted (?) it can always be re-created if needed, right? My only concern is that we have trouble getting articles on Turkish topics, and I wonder what happened to the original article. (Wikipedia was blocked there and may still be.) Bottom line, if I was notified because I created it, and it’s now empty, I guess it should be deleted. Elinruby ( talk) 18:26, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

As Liz says, we have ben making improvements in screening, many of them due to her interesti n the problem and her excellent work. Unfortunately, there many that no one person can do it--by now we have I think 3 or 4, and that still is not enough. My own practice to to look at he ones coming up at Category:AfC G13 eligible soon submissions and try to keep at least a few days ahead , with thegoal of getting as far ahead as possible. I work by hovering over each title in turn, and I think I can be counted on to catch the ones who are academics or businesspeople or politicians , and to a lesser degree, conventional visual artists or classical musicians , or companies, and historical figures . If I can immediately fix, I do, and accept (especially the ones that have neve een been reviewed at all) But I skip totally over everyone in sports or in popular music, or in journalism, unless by chance I recognize the name. I will usually skip over people in other geographies where I can not even judge the likely notability without research, particularly if the sources are in languages I cannot read at all. (I always look at apparent translations from French or German) And of course I skip over the ones written in nonEnglish languages, or personal junk. I would e very grateful if I could be assurred thatsomeone was keeping an eye on the categories I cannot handle.
I'm not quiteas sanguin as Liza about the effectiveness of the subject screening, and especially of the quality screening, which I think often too generous. But this complements what I do, and I'm very reassured she looks from those perspectives.
I have one particular request=--many drafts have been declined as needing merges. Sometimes they have been merged, sometimes not, sometimes it's unnecessary. At the moment I'm almost always just marking them: my priority is to have enough time to actually check and merge at tleast the simpler ones. I'm working on a list of the ones I think need it, so others can more easily help. And one matter I do not want to be specific about: if you've done much of this ,you'll have noticed a few reviewers whose work cannot be trusted. I do not want otmention maes, but you can compare notes offline. At least one of them, though tending to decline everythign 6 months ago, has now become more selective in their current work. The worst of these have some time ago been removed from the list, but if there are others, I can and will do so. But I want to try to teach them first. DGG ( talk ) 07:57, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz, would you mind taking a look at 2020 California Proposition 16? I've been trying to mediate a content dispute there, but feel too involved to take action. A recently unblocked editor came back and restarted an edit war. I reverted and warned them. They participated on the talk page briefly, but now they're leaving misleading edit summaries. For example, claiming to format a table but looking at the edit, they don't introduce any table formatting, moved their preferred section above the other (like in the last edit), and edited a completely different section than the one implied; also they described an edit as a minor formatting change but actually removed sourced information. Seems obvious to me, but I don't want to look like I'm taking sides. Could you (or a talk page watcher) review and take necessary action? — Wug· a·po·des 00:26, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Liz, I'm still learning about writing articles on Wikipedia. Last July Nathan2055, moved an article I was drafting about Shannon Global Energy Solutions, and on Aug. 5, 2020, you deleted it. I realize why you deleted it; in hindsight, and with a critique from Jimfbleak, I see why the piece wasn't up to par or particularly encyclopedic. Jimfbleak restored the draft and suggested several edits, which I appreciate and have thanked him for. I've revised the entry and improved it. I'm certainly open to further input, but Jimfbleak suggested I now ask for a reviewer to look over Draft:Shannon Global Energy Solutions.

Liz, I infer you're disagreeing with my choice to file AE complaints, but you also haven't commented on the content of my cases, just the formatting, so I don't know what your thoughts are there. My understanding is that if an editor is violating DS, we are to report them if discussions do not help. If they are warned and repeat the same behavior, we file another AE complaint.

Hey there, Liz! :)
You have set up for SD 2 of the categories I created some days ago. Those categories are needed for the CS1 module to work properly in EnWiki. I don't usually work in EnWiki. I'm an admin at SqWiki/SqQuote and I'm 90% of the time only active at those sites, mainly helping in technical aspects, mostly related to references and citations, so I might not know the exact needed category creation guidelines or templates to use here but I can assure you those categories are needed for the technical aspect of the said module. At least the one related to JFM is 100% needed, according to my current technical knowledge of that module. You can check here for more information.
However, if I'm wrong, feel free to delete them. I was just trying to "give something back", since 90% of my "contributions" on EnWiki are questions or requests for help related to SqWiki problems.

On the bolivia page, there is one editor who has been edit-warring and deleting info using biased reasoning https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Crmoorhead . The info that he deletes are solid and well backed by sources. So naturally, I undelete what he did and remind him that the info is well backed by sources.
He then undo my work in which I reply to him to please take it to the talk page. I ask him to take it to the talk page as I am certain that he knows that I am right but he doesn't take it to the talk page. Reason that he doesn't take it to the talk page is that he knows I'm right and he can't bs me. So instead, he makes a new section with arbitrary external reasons on the admin noticeboard with the intent to remove me instead. And ironically accuses me of edit-warring despite I had considered reporting him but I have no idea where to start.
I am not good with apologies but I will admit that maybe I was overly harsh on Materialscientist after he deleted all my edits but it was just a misunderstanding. He had assumed I was a vandal and undid all my work. And I accused him of being excessive in his actions and I should have handled it better. But after that one conflict, an external user Crmoorhead has had a grudge against me and hates me because I refuse to let him delete real info from Bolivia's page. He should be the one blocked for doing so and Wikipedia needs people like me to ensure people don't delete info they hate. This is my contribution history - /info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/49.180.129.245
Don't know where to start but you seem like you know the ropes. Can you help or point me to the right direction - I would like to request an investigation in the both of us -(me and Crmoorhead) and freely invite impartial people to determine who is the REAL VANDAL and who is the one opposing the vandalism. I am the latter hence I welcome such a review as I believe THAT is the real conflict between me and Crmoorhead. 49.180.129.245 ( talk) 06:54, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
Technical question for you: is this considered routine removal of unwanted comments, or are these comments considered part of the unblock request, especially since they were cited by the reviewing admin? I'm not particularly concerned about seeing my comment restored, but I am curious if that input is covered by the exception to WP:OWNTALK involving declined block requests. Grandpallama ( talk) 06:42, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
AFAIK, only the declined unblock request itself counts. Even proceeding comments from the admin who declined the request don't count.This is what I had always assumed, Nil Einne, but since Liz initially reverted their deletion, I thought perhaps that meant any discussion pertaining to a declined unblock also fell into the same category. Like I said, I am not looking to have those comments included, nor am I griefing Liz for restoring them, but it isn't spelled out at WP:OWNTALK and it made me genuinely curious about how admins view it.

Hi Liz
You reverted this edit of mine [10]
The content I removed at WP:ANI was posted by DePiep into the middle of my content. In a previous edit at WP:ANI, DePiep objected to my postings inside his content, and reverted them, along with a request to cease and desist, which I subsequently respected.
By inserting his post into my content at WP:ANI, DePeip breached a standard of conduct he expected of me. I therefore removed his content, along with a comment: "remove interference by DePiep in my post" [11], which I trust you saw.
I posted a warning to DePiep about this at WP:ANI, here [12].
I intend to revert your revert.
WP:ANI is stressful. When you revert me without doing due diligence, that adds to my stress. In future, as an Amin especially, I ask you to take the time to do due diligence, especially at WP:ANI, before reverting.

Does this mean that another editor can post comments inside my posts?
As I noted above:
If if is indeed that case that it's OK for an editor to post inside another editor's post at WP:ANI, I'll add this to the draft of the WP:ANI protocol I intend to develop.

This was coming up for G13 but I found it potentially valuable and edited it 21 October. Nevertheless, you deleted it 28 October (I then got a WP:REFUND). My understanding is that my edit should have reset the G13 clock and given this another 6 months. Do I misunderstand? ~ Kvng ( talk) 12:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz. Just a quick question about this edit. I did prod the soundtrack album's cover art for deletion and since it was deleted I get removing the file's syntax and caption from the infobox. However, I'm not sure why you removed the entire infobox itself. Not complaining about its removal; just curious as to why. For reference, you did the same at The Elephant Man (film) and The Five Heartbeats. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:34, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
I noticed you deleted the Mann + Hummel article that I had started for being unambiguously promotional. I have included the links to articles in other languages that you may want to delete as they have been written along the same lines. I started the article because they had been linked in another article so I thought I would help get the article started but apparently I was wrong. Please let me know how the article was promotional and was unable to replaced with neutral language as I am sure you know this, that is preferable to deletion.

To be honest I would rather not contribute anything to a project that makes it so easy for things to be deleted. It is far less work to delete things than to make things better, so I will just not contribute. Good luck deleting information. Mrtrey99 ( talk) 19:33, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
I would say that once something is marked for speedy deletion it is very easy to delete, you in fact mentioned that you use a batch delete and accidentally deleted some articles. You could spend time improving articles but apparently deleting information is what you are into. I have some books that aren't very notable if you like to burn them.
I typically only add content when there is a gap in the information on Wikipedia. You are not the first deletionist that I have encountered and been discouraged by. I started contributing to Wikipedia in 2004 when stubs were encouraged and welcome. No more, the deletionists make sure no new articles go unturned. One day Wikipedia will reach its perfection and be a single article.

How is a user page that says "I's back bitches" appropriate? Not angry, just wondering.The one and only 4thfile4thrank { talk} 02:47, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
