Hi Liz, I see you've just deleted Romanie Schotte, which was apparently prodded as BLP1E. My understanding was that winners of national-level beauty pageants were taken to be notable, but this particular individual made national news in her country not only for winning the pageant but also for being sued for some sort of racial discrimination (making 2 events). Would it be possible to restore it? -- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 14:53, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
For someone who doesn't want anyone watching or commenting on their talk, they sure do keep adding more and more shit that would make someone want to watchlist it and comment on it. [1] [2] [3] [4] I don't know if this person came here in good faith or as some sort of plan to infiltrate the deep state on Wikipedia. [5] They're actually a good and thoughtful writer. [6] But clearly they think they're waging some sort of lost-cause war against liberal bias here. They seem to be using their talk as a webhost, at this point. —valereee ( talk) 12:42, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Liz. I created this category Category:December 2020 peer reviews to store peer reviews from December. This is part of 160 other similarly named categories. It even says so on the category page. I don't understand how mere hours after creation you have placed a speedy review tag on it, just as you have been doing for other peer review categories, some that are still in use as maintenance categories.
How did you even identify that category? I have been wiki stalked before and it's not a comfortable experience.
I would request you spend a modicum of time before proposing these categories for deletion or, if you are confused about their purpose, feel free to ask me. Slapping these deletion tags is aggressive, not collegiate, and not constructive. Additionally I do not always have time to attend Wikipedia and you risk deleting categories that are actually useful and will need repairing in the process. Happy to discuss further below. -- Tom (LT) ( talk) 22:25, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello, you recently deleted and salted Trilla Venus with a db-g5 pointing to User:Lil855. But this odd edit to the talk page of new article Trilla venus suggests a possible connection with WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Nana222222. Thanks, Captain Calm ( talk) 11:19, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for deleting the prodded Kahit Minsan Lang article. However, when the topic has been found unfitting for Wikipedia I believe that backlinks should also be removed entirely. See backlinks.

Hello! Thank you for deleting my page about hockey player Dmytro Nimenko. I'm sure this was great decision. I should know that pages about international hockey players are useless for Wikipedia.

Hi Liz, I note that you are still deleting drafts that after not tagged with a g13 tag. Please also check if the draft has been undeleted in the last 6 months, as what is happening is that drafts are restored, and then deleted within a few days by you without any chance for improvements. People should get 6 months grace against g13 after a draft undeletion. In particular this happened today for Draft:Joel P. Corin. Can twinkle be a bit smarter about this? If you pull up the delete screen, it shows the previous deletes and restores, so it is possible to see recent activity. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 00:30, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

It would be night if notification of deleted drafts came BEFORE the deletions. People get busy and #2020 and it would be nice to get notice BEFORE work was disappeared. You have more say in these things than I do, would you be so kind as to pass this along?
I can't help but notice that you have a big warning sign which assumes people come to your talk page angry at you. Perhaps, if the people coming here are always angry, they have a point? Thmazing ( talk) 01:51, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Liz, First, thank you all admins for your hard work. I hope all is well. I see you deleted GS RichCopy 360, which I think had text that can be preceived as promotional in some way.

Thank you for deleting the various templates in [7] during the past week. This is part of converting over 400 templates and template redirects to Template:Adjacent stations in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, Australia which is quite a big job. The conversion of Brisbane is complete with Sydney finished by the end of this week and Melbourne still some work to be done.I submitted another lot for deletion at [8] last Saturday with another 7 lots planned for weekly submission by early January 2021. My question relates to the the template in the heading which does not appear to be used now - I last made some changes in 2018. But I was surprised to see its talk page deleted this morning as G8 as the template itself still exists.Deletion log 02:36 Liz talk contribs deleted page Template talk:NSW Country lines stations/testcases (G8: Redirect to a deleted or nonexistent page) I wonder why?

Back in June, you deleted
Category:South Australia articles missing geocoordinate data as an empty category. This is just a courtesy notification that I've restored it, since it's a hidden tracking category populated by any articles to which the template {{coord missing|South Australia}}
has been added and, as such, will occasionally be empty whenever geographic coordinates are added to articles containing that template. If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to post on my talk page.

Hi Liz, I just saw your comments on user Konli17 Talk page, and since this user has captured your attention with the multiple edit wars they are involved in, I thought I would draw your attention to two cases against them that have not attracted admin attention yet here and here. The second one was just archived without decision although it involved a violation of the Syrian Civil War community sanctions (1RR). The lack/delay of admin action has encouraged this user to go on with their disruptive editing, personal attacks and edit warring. Here they have reverted to remove the same information five times since 12 November. This user edits with a very aggressive POV-pushing agenda, and resort to personal attacks (I provided links to six in the noticeboard, and there is more) when their arguments fails.

Hi Liz, Good afternoon from Australia.
Really you should not be deleting drafts with reason g13, unless they have been tagged with a g13 tag. This will avoid you deleting pages that are not eligible such as Draft:Mint Mobile, which was edited about 50 minutes before you deleted it. Anyway I have restored this one so the editor should now be satisfied. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 06:15, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi there! My draft was deleted after six months. I manually readded it to Wiki but my draft text is gone. Can you help me get it back? I had written the skeleton outline for https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Draft:Joseph_Raymond_Lucero&action=edit&redlink=1 but I couldn't find the article so I couldn't edit it. If the first draft I wrote is not recoverable, I will not be rewritting it and in that case, this stub can be deleted (although I would like it to be considered for adoption at this is an actor of color who is doing good work and deserve recognition)
You deleted the page Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Agsfdet almost a week ago, but why? I created it because the sockpuppet investigation casepage had been created.

Hey, Liz! Sorry to bother you but I came across a article which had a lota facts but zero citations to back the claims. My consciousness told me that those articles could contain falsified information and could lead regular users to manipulated conclusions. I personally don't think those kind of articles should exist. I used Twinkle for doing a CSD but couldn't decide what reason to choose. I hope I am not doing something wrong. Once I nominated the article for a CSD, you have rejected it stating the following "Removing CSD tag. Doesn't seem to be a made-up school." which I 100% agree with but I don't know what other criteria I can nominate similar articles on. I am a simple man who's trying to make the encyclopedia a bit more accurate. Please do keep in mind that I am not an experienced Wikipedian, I obviously make mistakes and if you find them then please do correct it. I really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much and once again sorry to bother you on these presumed silly questions - Call me Karthik 😉🤞 ( talk • contribs) — Preceding undated comment added 18:47, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

I have nominated the template with no clear name (either Anti Turkism or Anti Turkish sentiment) for deletion. The template is wrongly formatted and needs a fix or a deletion. Turkism isn't really a good name as Turkism doesn't even exist as a wikipedia page. Pan Turkism would be the name but check the Pan Turkism article first, it is closely associated with racists. Like real ones, even competing with the NAZIs. Anti Turkish sentiment, ok, but the template needs a fix. I tried to fix this, but I can't, I tried.

Dear Liz,
I have received your message about the decision to delete the draft of Inca Pisac.
Above the small town of Pisac in Peru is a massive Inca complex consisting of a fortress, residential housing and religious structres which is similar in size to Machu Picchu. The government of Peru has protected it by establishing an archeological park around it. At the time I created the draft there was no dedicated article on it and only a couple of paragraphs about it in the article on the town of Pisac. My draft had 21 pages.
Editor Robert McCleanon rejected it, saying it should be incorporated into the article on the town. I replied to him that this was equivalent to the standalone article on the Alhambra (which is its equivalent in Spain) being merged into the article on the city of Granada or Edinburgh Castle being merged into the article on the city of Edinburgh. I even suggested where he could see images so that he could see how big it is.
He never replied to me, when all I wanted for all the research I had done on this important place to be recorded.
I have since then entertained thoughts of sneaking around his opinion by coping the information to a new article with a title such as "Pisac National Archeological Park or "Inca Complex at Pisac" but I suspected he would most likely block these as well, so I gave up and have put my energies into other articles. His lack of courtesy put my back up and so I haven't done anything.
Since I was blown way from a visit to Pisac I really want to ensure that there is an article on it for people who visit it and want to know more, so there is very little online about it. Is there any way forward?
The point I want to make is that editors need to work with contributors to progress articles instead of refusing into enter into any discussions. I have found over the 1,000 articles I have edited or created to date that some editors can really destroy contributors enthusiasm.
John
Hi, I've recently begun work on creating a page for the YouTuber Morgz, which you can view at the top of my Sandbox. I noticed that the page is protected from being created, with you being the protecting administrator. The deletion log shows that the article was deleted in early 2019, and I feel that since then, the topic has grown notable enough to merit its own Wikipedia article. In the next few days I hope to have a complete draft written up in my sandbox with sufficient reliable sources on the topic. That being the case, I was wondering what the proper steps would be to get the page created. Thank you, and I await your response. - JJonahJackalope ( talk) 01:11, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Liz! I appreciate your welcome! I've been a Wikipedia reader for over a decade, a member for about 4 years, and have started writing more.
FYI, I responded to your note on my talk page, but I'm not sure if I did it right, so I'm reaching out here. Apologies if you get this twice - I'm still learning.
Since you suggested, I would welcome your help. I have been happy to write about topics in my area of expertise, which include logistics, technology, and history. I have been blindsided by a mean-spirited person who has decided to attack me. I am the subject of a page: /info/en/?search=Benjamin_Gordon_(businessman). Someone going by the name "Krutapidla2" formed a single-purpose account, for the sole purpose of posting defamatory content on my site. He must have some sort of vendetta, although I have no idea why. Since I am not a Wikipedia editor, and do this in my spare time, I decided to seek help, and posted a request on a site, in order to take down the defamatory content. "Krutapidla2" then reposted the defamatory content, deleted other positive content, and went on a rampage. He also marked the page for deletion, and added a notation that my page may have been edited for undisclosed payments. This is, of course, the height of irony. The only reason a paid editor offered to help me was to take down the defamatory content in the first place!
This person has continued his destructive behavior. I undid his changes. Then he put them back up. Another person undid his changes. Then he put them back up. And he had the temerity to accuse me of being a paid editor (which I clearly am not, as reflected among many things by my poor knowledge of Wikipedia systems)! Pot, meet kettle.
I am not a Wikipedia expert, but isn't this kind of destructive conduct exactly what the Wikipedia code of conduct is intended to prevent? Can you close down this slanderous "Krutapidla2"? Can you unmask him so he is prevented from continuing his harmful conduct? And can you remove the "undisclosed payments" mark and the "considered for deletion" mark? FYI, after this whole Krutapidla2 fiasco, the editor posted details on the talk page, so he provided full disclosure. And more importantly, none of this would have happened if not for the slanderous postings in violation of neutrality.
Thank you. I appreciate it! Bengee123 ( talk) 04:43, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz, thank you. Yes, that's clear. I'm not sure if you know, but I haven't edited the article at all. All I did was read the Wikipedia rules, note the policies for biographies of which you are a subject (exactly as you noted), and request a rollback of Krutapidla2's defamatory postings (which he continues to repost, and continues to take other harmful actions). Isn't that the correct thing to do? What else is possible? How can you prevent this person, who obviously has some sort of personal vendetta, from continuing to cause me harm? And how can you undo the other negative marks he has put on the article? Thank you in advance for your help! Bengee123 ( talk) 05:08, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Hey Liz, since you seem to be a speedy deletion whiz, I'd like to run this by you: Kalakar Awards was deleted after an AFD took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kalakar Awards. I discovered two content forks at Kalakar Award for Best Actress and Kalakar Award for Best Actor both created years before the AFD. 1) Should they be deleted? 2) Under what speedy criteria? I'm leaning toward G8: Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page, since as content forks they do sort of rely on us first having an article about the award. The examples listed in the guidelines don't exactly fit, but I'm not sure what other rationale I could/should use. If you have a better suggestion, my ears are wide open. Thank you! Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 13:10, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Subpages with no parent pagebut these aren't really subpages. You might find it easier to argue for A7 if you consider the Kalakar Awards a nonimportant organized event. It's really a judgment call and comes down to not only what is appropriate but what can you defend should your deletion decision be challenged.
I'm sorry about that email. I sometimes overreact to things. You can just ignore what I said. Toad62 14:21, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

I've asked the reviewer to explain their comments.

Dear Liz, I am puzzled by your comment on my reversion - I gave what I thought was a clear reason - You say I driected to a blank page - I thought I had directed to the page "ion association" which as I said, talks about ion pairs, while the linked page "ionic bonding" does not talk about ion pairs. I see lots of stuff about ion pairs, on the not blank page "ion association". Any ideas what might be going wrong, and why you see a blank page and I saw a page with info about the phrase I had redirected there?

However, after researching "Muboshgu" I will say -- with his self-proclaimed 211,000 contributions. ( Personal attack removed) Take for example of blocking Iowa US Senate Candidate Theresa Greenfield by locking in a redirect so a page could not be created based on non-notoriety; then, creating a page for another Iowan from Senator Chuck Grassley's small town, Kim Olson, a failed 2018 candidate for Texas Secretary of Agriculture. I note this reliable source, if not elite, Wired Article-- https://www.wired.com/story/the-senate-race-that-could-be-pivotal-for-america-and-wikipedia/ that concentrates on the abuses of Muboshgu to Mr. Wales creation.

Sorry to bother you again, but the page has continued to be edited, and the editor (who have been sockpuppets or a brand new account) have repeatedly ignored my attempts to reach out to reach a consensus. What should I do, when they clearly are uninterested in going through the process wikipedia has? I don’t want to give up and just allow info to be removed from the page because of a fanwar on twitter, but I don’t know what I could possibly do about it.

Hi, just a quick note that I'm a very experienced (now occasional) editor. I'm the guy who made Categories for Discussion and Templates for Discussion, developed the backend code, and the original parser function templates. And wrote a great deal of the instructions for closing at the time.
No, I didn't hand move a Category page. I merged or moved and redirected those specific Category Talk pages as part of the close. This was a complicated close, and needed to be done by hand. Then, somebody else ran a bot, and accidentally wiped out my work.
So thanks for helping fix part of the bot wipe. Sadly, it will take far more effort to restore than it took to do the work in the first place.

Hi Liz, I am writing you regarding Gugark Pogrom. The article is nonsense and is reduntand. While Azeri have committed countless of pogroms against Armenians, we just list a few major ones and disregard the rest, while Azeri propagandist wikipedians loves to post each atrocity towards them as a totally separate Azeri pogroms or genocide when it has been all under one unfortunate event. I am not denying these may have happened, but Azeri wikipedians are clearly exaggerating their claims and blowing out of proportions when they are the victims. I have seen many acts of vandalism toward Armenian articles and categories when it is the other way around. Don't let Wikipedia become a propaganda tool for them or anyone. It should remain a unbiased, neutral platform for the truth regardless of what we like and don't like. I respectfully request you to undo your edit regarding the article. Hovhannesk ( talk) 16:50, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
You didn't edit it yourself, but you rejected the deletion request. I know this article is blatant and used mainly for propaganda purposes and this is article is clearly political as it is created by Azeri wikipedians which are spamming and rewriting history to their way (especially in the Azeri language Wikipedia, but that's another topic for another day). I don't know how to nominate it for deletion at AfD as I just know how to do basic editing and creating pages. Also, on a separate topic, could you please assist in a dilemma regarding Armenian categories in the diaspora? For example, there are two categories of Armenians in the respective such as Category:Syrian Armenians and Syrian people of Armenian descent, Category:Lebanese Armenians and Category:Lebanese people of Armenian descent, Category:Azerbaijani Armenians and Category:Azerbaijani people of Armenian descent and so on of the respective countries which were over 50 of them which were "merged" together as one category when they were clearly stated as two things and two different categories. And many of them have been deliberately removed instead of "merged" when I tried to undo them. I contacted the user JJMC89 ( talk) who did this requesting an explaination for his reason and action and that he undo all of the "merging" and deletion of some of the categories. However, he never replied nor gave an appropriate response to my request and simply revert my undo action on him. I strongly believe him committing vandalism and spam in the sense that he is deliberately misleading the categories with his action of "merging" when they are clearly stated and explained as two separate categories for two different things. I am not good with these things and just try to contribute to Wikipedia in my free time when I can with basic editing, adding or proofreading, and creating pages. I would appreciate if you can look into the matter or recommend someone to investigate him and his history regarding the categories. Thanks. Hovhannesk ( talk) 12:38, 04 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey, Liz, I did a page on Alleged Corruption of Jared Kushner and I've seen you've gone in favor of removing it instead of keeping it, or instead move on to Draft page. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how to make the article more neutral so that my work on it doesn't go wasted. I've gone through the trouble of putting very verifiable sources on all of the statements made in it and I wouldn't want it to be 100% wasted. Thank you very much for any help you could give me.
Ok, I'm gonna do some work on it and change the title. I'm gonna remove some stuff about it and leave it more up to the other editors to decide (although all of my sources are backed and I am being as neutral as possible!) To be quite honest some of it might seem on the attack-y side of it but there is simply unanimous consent out there that the son-in-law being in the inside of the White House with the president's ear on his side is not something that should go unreported. Even by any encyclopedia standards out there, the consensus is just so strong that there is blatant mishandling by the person in question that talking about it should honestly not even be an issue. Especially when there is a widespread knowledge just about everyone that said person has mishandlings and about every news station out there has alread reported on it. The first person who flagged me as supposedly an "attack" has been regulating Trump's articles for a good while, so for me it's not even a surprise that it is tried to be taken down to be quite honest. The thing is that I'm 100% against any personal attacks out there and especially on an encyclopedia, but there is just so much unanimous knowledge on Kushner's controversial role and he's just such a public figure there should not even be question about creating articles on him. It would be like saying "Nero's evil shouldn't be criticized cause it's controversial to him!". I mean, he's a public official for Lord's sake and everyone knows how corrupt he is. It's like stating a widely-known fact by now and I can (and did) refer a dozen different verifiable sources that say that. Anyway, Thank you very much for informing on everything. I'll change it as much as possible and leave it to the editors to decide. Just wanted to inform you that there is probably going to be a lot of people claiming it's "an attack" even though I'm just stating the facts and bringing up factual sources from reputable news outlets. Thanks. Have a great night and a great New Year's Eve.
OK, I changed the title to Public Perception of Jared Kushner. Hopefully it stays up and there can be civil discussion on the Talk page on it and editors will pick it up from here and add as it's appropriate. Really thanks for your help and informing me on the matter; it really does help. Glad we got this figured out in a civil manner - just didn't want my time on writing to go to waste. I'm gonna remove the things that seem more "contentious" and leave it to the editors. Thanks. Marcosoldfox ( talk) 02:36, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Liz. I created this category Category:December 2020 peer reviews to store peer reviews from December. This is part of 160 other similarly named categories. It even says so on the category page. I don't understand how mere hours after creation you have placed a speedy review tag on it, just as you have been doing for other peer review categories, some that are still in use as maintenance categories.
How did you even identify that category? I have been wiki stalked before and it's not a comfortable experience.
I would request you spend a modicum of time before proposing these categories for deletion or, if you are confused about their purpose, feel free to ask me. Slapping these deletion tags is aggressive, not collegiate, and not constructive. Additionally I do not always have time to attend Wikipedia and you risk deleting categories that are actually useful and will need repairing in the process.

Hi Liz, I note that you are still deleting drafts that after not tagged with a g13 tag.

Thank you for deleting the various templates in [7] during the past week. This is part of converting over 400 templates and template redirects to Template:Adjacent stations in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, Australia which is quite a big job. The conversion of Brisbane is complete with Sydney finished by the end of this week and Melbourne still some work to be done.I submitted another lot for deletion at [8] last Saturday with another 7 lots planned for weekly submission by early January 2021. My question relates to the the template in the heading which does not appear to be used now - I last made some changes in 2018. But I was surprised to see its talk page deleted this morning as G8 as the template itself still exists.Deletion log 02:36 Liz talk contribs deleted page Template talk:NSW Country lines stations/testcases (G8: Redirect to a deleted or nonexistent page) I wonder why?

Back in June, you deleted
Category:South Australia articles missing geocoordinate data as an empty category. This is just a courtesy notification that I've restored it, since it's a hidden tracking category populated by any articles to which the template {{coord missing|South Australia}}
has been added and, as such, will occasionally be empty whenever geographic coordinates are added to articles containing that template. If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to post on my talk page.

Hi Liz, I just saw your comments on user Konli17 Talk page, and since this user has captured your attention with the multiple edit wars they are involved in, I thought I would draw your attention to two cases against them that have not attracted admin attention yet here and here. The second one was just archived without decision although it involved a violation of the Syrian Civil War community sanctions (1RR). The lack/delay of admin action has encouraged this user to go on with their disruptive editing, personal attacks and edit warring. Here they have reverted to remove the same information five times since 12 November. This user edits with a very aggressive POV-pushing agenda, and resort to personal attacks (I provided links to six in the noticeboard, and there is more) when their arguments fails.

Hi Liz, Good afternoon from Australia.
Really you should not be deleting drafts with reason g13, unless they have been tagged with a g13 tag.

Hi there! My draft was deleted after six months. I manually readded it to Wiki but my draft text is gone. Can you help me get it back? I had written the skeleton outline for https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Draft:Joseph_Raymond_Lucero&action=edit&redlink=1 but I couldn't find the article so I couldn't edit it. If the first draft I wrote is not recoverable, I will not be rewritting it and in that case, this stub can be deleted (although I would like it to be considered for adoption at this is an actor of color who is doing good work and deserve recognition)

Hey, Liz! Sorry to bother you but I came across a article which had a lota facts but zero citations to back the claims. My consciousness told me that those articles could contain falsified information and could lead regular users to manipulated conclusions. I personally don't think those kind of articles should exist. I used Twinkle for doing a CSD but couldn't decide what reason to choose. I hope I am not doing something wrong. Once I nominated the article for a CSD, you have rejected it stating the following "Removing CSD tag. Doesn't seem to be a made-up school." which I 100% agree with but I don't know what other criteria I can nominate similar articles on. I am a simple man who's trying to make the encyclopedia a bit more accurate. Please do keep in mind that I am not an experienced Wikipedian, I obviously make mistakes and if you find them then please do correct it. I really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much and once again sorry to bother you on these presumed silly questions - Call me Karthik 😉🤞 ( talk • contribs) — Preceding undated comment added 18:47, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

I have nominated the template with no clear name (either Anti Turkism or Anti Turkish sentiment) for deletion. The template is wrongly formatted and needs a fix or a deletion. Turkism isn't really a good name as Turkism doesn't even exist as a wikipedia page. Pan Turkism would be the name but check the Pan Turkism article first, it is closely associated with racists. Like real ones, even competing with the NAZIs. Anti Turkish sentiment, ok, but the template needs a fix. I tried to fix this, but I can't, I tried.

Dear Liz,
I have received your message about the decision to delete the draft of Inca Pisac.
Above the small town of Pisac in Peru is a massive Inca complex consisting of a fortress, residential housing and religious structres which is similar in size to Machu Picchu. The government of Peru has protected it by establishing an archeological park around it. At the time I created the draft there was no dedicated article on it and only a couple of paragraphs about it in the article on the town of Pisac. My draft had 21 pages.
Editor Robert McCleanon rejected it, saying it should be incorporated into the article on the town. I replied to him that this was equivalent to the standalone article on the Alhambra (which is its equivalent in Spain) being merged into the article on the city of Granada or Edinburgh Castle being merged into the article on the city of Edinburgh. I even suggested where he could see images so that he could see how big it is.
He never replied to me, when all I wanted for all the research I had done on this important place to be recorded.
I have since then entertained thoughts of sneaking around his opinion by coping the information to a new article with a title such as "Pisac National Archeological Park or "Inca Complex at Pisac" but I suspected he would most likely block these as well, so I gave up and have put my energies into other articles. His lack of courtesy put my back up and so I haven't done anything.
Since I was blown way from a visit to Pisac I really want to ensure that there is an article on it for people who visit it and want to know more, so there is very little online about it. Is there any way forward?
The point I want to make is that editors need to work with contributors to progress articles instead of refusing into enter into any discussions. I have found over the 1,000 articles I have edited or created to date that some editors can really destroy contributors enthusiasm.
John
Hi, I've recently begun work on creating a page for the YouTuber Morgz, which you can view at the top of my Sandbox. I noticed that the page is protected from being created, with you being the protecting administrator. The deletion log shows that the article was deleted in early 2019, and I feel that since then, the topic has grown notable enough to merit its own Wikipedia article. In the next few days I hope to have a complete draft written up in my sandbox with sufficient reliable sources on the topic. That being the case, I was wondering what the proper steps would be to get the page created. Thank you, and I await your response. - JJonahJackalope ( talk) 01:11, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Liz! I appreciate your welcome! I've been a Wikipedia reader for over a decade, a member for about 4 years, and have started writing more.
FYI, I responded to your note on my talk page, but I'm not sure if I did it right, so I'm reaching out here. Apologies if you get this twice - I'm still learning.
Since you suggested, I would welcome your help. I have been happy to write about topics in my area of expertise, which include logistics, technology, and history. I have been blindsided by a mean-spirited person who has decided to attack me. I am the subject of a page: /info/en/?search=Benjamin_Gordon_(businessman). Someone going by the name "Krutapidla2" formed a single-purpose account, for the sole purpose of posting defamatory content on my site. He must have some sort of vendetta, although I have no idea why. Since I am not a Wikipedia editor, and do this in my spare time, I decided to seek help, and posted a request on a site, in order to take down the defamatory content. "Krutapidla2" then reposted the defamatory content, deleted other positive content, and went on a rampage. He also marked the page for deletion, and added a notation that my page may have been edited for undisclosed payments. This is, of course, the height of irony. The only reason a paid editor offered to help me was to take down the defamatory content in the first place!
This person has continued his destructive behavior. I undid his changes. Then he put them back up. Another person undid his changes. Then he put them back up. And he had the temerity to accuse me of being a paid editor (which I clearly am not, as reflected among many things by my poor knowledge of Wikipedia systems)! Pot, meet kettle.
I am not a Wikipedia expert, but isn't this kind of destructive conduct exactly what the Wikipedia code of conduct is intended to prevent? Can you close down this slanderous "Krutapidla2"? Can you unmask him so he is prevented from continuing his harmful conduct? And can you remove the "undisclosed payments" mark and the "considered for deletion" mark? FYI, after this whole Krutapidla2 fiasco, the editor posted details on the talk page, so he provided full disclosure. And more importantly, none of this would have happened if not for the slanderous postings in violation of neutrality.
Thank you. I appreciate it! Bengee123 ( talk) 04:43, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz, thank you. Yes, that's clear. I'm not sure if you know, but I haven't edited the article at all. All I did was read the Wikipedia rules, note the policies for biographies of which you are a subject (exactly as you noted), and request a rollback of Krutapidla2's defamatory postings (which he continues to repost, and continues to take other harmful actions). Isn't that the correct thing to do? What else is possible? How can you prevent this person, who obviously has some sort of personal vendetta, from continuing to cause me harm? And how can you undo the other negative marks he has put on the article? Thank you in advance for your help! Bengee123 ( talk) 05:08, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Hey Liz, since you seem to be a speedy deletion whiz, I'd like to run this by you: Kalakar Awards was deleted after an AFD took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kalakar Awards. I discovered two content forks at Kalakar Award for Best Actress and Kalakar Award for Best Actor both created years before the AFD. 1) Should they be deleted? 2) Under what speedy criteria? I'm leaning toward G8: Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page, since as content forks they do sort of rely on us first having an article about the award. The examples listed in the guidelines don't exactly fit, but I'm not sure what other rationale I could/should use. If you have a better suggestion, my ears are wide open. Thank you! Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 13:10, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Subpages with no parent pagebut these aren't really subpages. You might find it easier to argue for A7 if you consider the Kalakar Awards a nonimportant organized event. It's really a judgment call and comes down to not only what is appropriate but what can you defend should your deletion decision be challenged.
I'm sorry about that email. I sometimes overreact to things. You can just ignore what I said. Toad62 14:21, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

I think at least the pages with the extremely offensive titles should be deleted (certainly more than half). By the way, I made this list with this. And can accounts here really be deleted like that, because many of these users obviously used to exist, do you know that? (Oh, and, I don't really want to tag all of them for deletion by myself, because ... well, 1500 more or less useless edits I don't need now either.) -- TheImaCow ( talk) 20:59, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello! I noticed the removal of a name on the list Han-Bin! I have since found the article for the individual and added it to the page, so hopefully it has been fixed and can remain! Let me know if any more info is needed, thank you! Jayb.rd98 ( talk) 03:12, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
@Liz @Muboshgu: Tom Klemesrud responds: Thank you Liz, I do apologize for calling User talk:Muboshgu#Brad Raffensperger a fool. I have learned he is much more imbedded in the Byzantine power structure of Wikipedia, to be called that. However, after researching "Muboshgu" I will say -- with his self-proclaimed 211,000 contributions. ( Personal attack removed) Take for example of blocking Iowa US Senate Candidate Theresa Greenfield by locking in a redirect so a page could not be created based on non-notoriety; then, creating a page for another Iowan from Senator Chuck Grassley's small town, Kim Olson, a failed 2018 candidate for Texas Secretary of Agriculture. I note this reliable source, if not elite, Wired Article-- https://www.wired.com/story/the-senate-race-that-could-be-pivotal-for-america-and-wikipedia/ that concentrates on the abuses of Muboshgu to Mr. Wales creation. There should be sanctions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomklem ( talk • contribs) 10:31, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you again, but the page has continued to be edited, and the editor (who have been sockpuppets or a brand new account) have repeatedly ignored my attempts to reach out to reach a consensus. What should I do, when they clearly are uninterested in going through the process wikipedia has? I don’t want to give up and just allow info to be removed from the page because of a fanwar on twitter, but I don’t know what I could possibly do about it. I’m asking you because you had mentioned dispute resolution in our previous convo. Thank you very much. Jayb.rd98 ( talk) 19:24, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, just a quick note that I'm a very experienced (now occasional) editor. I'm the guy who made Categories for Discussion and Templates for Discussion, developed the backend code, and the original parser function templates. And wrote a great deal of the instructions for closing at the time.
No, I didn't hand move a Category page. I merged or moved and redirected those specific Category Talk pages as part of the close. This was a complicated close, and needed to be done by hand. Then, somebody else ran a bot, and accidentally wiped out my work.
So thanks for helping fix part of the bot wipe. Sadly, it will take far more effort to restore than it took to do the work in the first place.

Hello Liz. Please tell me why did you delete Tohid Hajibabaei's page? (Tohid Hajibabaei). It was a biography of a famous person and had credible sources. It's very important and I want that article restored,plz. Msh1991 ( talk) 07:17, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz, I'm a member of the university group working on the project of Draft:Cinque Vette Park, Lombardy. We submitted our page for review on the 29th of November, and it hasn't been accepted yet. We would like to ask you if you may give a look at our draft page and give us your feedback, so that we can improve our project page and hope it gets accepted by the 31st of December, the deadline. Thank you in advance. Dervareser ( talk) 18:00, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Liz, thank you for your advice! Fortunately it got accepted one hour after you answered me! Thank you again! Dervareser ( talk) 09:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz, I am writing you regarding Gugark Pogrom. The article is nonsense and is reduntand. While Azeri have committed countless of pogroms against Armenians, we just list a few major ones and disregard the rest, while Azeri propagandist wikipedians loves to post each atrocity towards them as a totally separate Azeri pogroms or genocide when it has been all under one unfortunate event. I am not denying these may have happened, but Azeri wikipedians are clearly exaggerating their claims and blowing out of proportions when they are the victims. I have seen many acts of vandalism toward Armenian articles and categories when it is the other way around. Don't let Wikipedia become a propaganda tool for them or anyone. It should remain a unbiased, neutral platform for the truth regardless of what we like and don't like. I respectfully request you to undo your edit regarding the article. Hovhannesk ( talk) 16:50, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
You didn't edit it yourself, but you rejected the deletion request. I know this article is blatant and used mainly for propaganda purposes and this is article is clearly political as it is created by Azeri wikipedians which are spamming and rewriting history to their way (especially in the Azeri language Wikipedia, but that's another topic for another day). I don't know how to nominate it for deletion at AfD as I just know how to do basic editing and creating pages. Also, on a separate topic, could you please assist in a dilemma regarding Armenian categories in the diaspora? For example, there are two categories of Armenians in the respective such as Category:Syrian Armenians and Syrian people of Armenian descent, Category:Lebanese Armenians and Category:Lebanese people of Armenian descent, Category:Azerbaijani Armenians and Category:Azerbaijani people of Armenian descent and so on of the respective countries which were over 50 of them which were "merged" together as one category when they were clearly stated as two things and two different categories. And many of them have been deliberately removed instead of "merged" when I tried to undo them. I contacted the user JJMC89 ( talk) who did this requesting an explaination for his reason and action and that he undo all of the "merging" and deletion of some of the categories. However, he never replied nor gave an appropriate response to my request and simply revert my undo action on him. I strongly believe him committing vandalism and spam in the sense that he is deliberately misleading the categories with his action of "merging" when they are clearly stated and explained as two separate categories for two different things. I am not good with these things and just try to contribute to Wikipedia in my free time when I can with basic editing, adding or proofreading, and creating pages. I would appreciate if you can look into the matter or recommend someone to investigate him and his history regarding the categories. Thanks. Hovhannesk ( talk) 12:38, 04 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey, Liz, I did a page on Alleged Corruption of Jared Kushner and I've seen you've gone in favor of removing it instead of keeping it, or instead move on to Draft page. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how to make the article more neutral so that my work on it doesn't go wasted. I've gone through the trouble of putting very verifiable sources on all of the statements made in it and I wouldn't want it to be 100% wasted. Thank you very much for any help you could give me.
Ok, I'm gonna do some work on it and change the title. I'm gonna remove some stuff about it and leave it more up to the other editors to decide (although all of my sources are backed and I am being as neutral as possible!) To be quite honest some of it might seem on the attack-y side of it but there is simply unanimous consent out there that the son-in-law being in the inside of the White House with the president's ear on his side is not something that should go unreported. Even by any encyclopedia standards out there, the consensus is just so strong that there is blatant mishandling by the person in question that talking about it should honestly not even be an issue. Especially when there is a widespread knowledge just about everyone that said person has mishandlings and about every news station out there has alread reported on it. The first person who flagged me as supposedly an "attack" has been regulating Trump's articles for a good while, so for me it's not even a surprise that it is tried to be taken down to be quite honest. The thing is that I'm 100% against any personal attacks out there and especially on an encyclopedia, but there is just so much unanimous knowledge on Kushner's controversial role and he's just such a public figure there should not even be question about creating articles on him. It would be like saying "Nero's evil shouldn't be criticized cause it's controversial to him!". I mean, he's a public official for Lord's sake and everyone knows how corrupt he is. It's like stating a widely-known fact by now and I can (and did) refer a dozen different verifiable sources that say that. Anyway, Thank you very much for informing on everything. I'll change it as much as possible and leave it to the editors to decide. Just wanted to inform you that there is probably going to be a lot of people claiming it's "an attack" even though I'm just stating the facts and bringing up factual sources from reputable news outlets. Thanks. Have a great night and a great New Year's Eve.
OK, I changed the title to Public Perception of Jared Kushner. Hopefully it stays up and there can be civil discussion on the Talk page on it and editors will pick it up from here and add as it's appropriate. Really thanks for your help and informing me on the matter; it really does help. Glad we got this figured out in a civil manner - just didn't want my time on writing to go to waste. I'm gonna remove the things that seem more "contentious" and leave it to the editors. Thanks. Marcosoldfox ( talk) 02:36, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
As expected, they're trying to remove it; and this user KidAd is unashamedly trying to delete it without giving any reason to do so, and he is clearly attempting to one-sidedly remove anything that doesn't go along with his narrative. All the president's men, I'd guess... Marcosoldfox ( talk) 03:29, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for tagging Category:Superman arcade games for speedy deletion. I meant for it to be a redirect to Category:Superman arcade and video games, but I got sidetracked and it didn't get finished. Thanks again for the heads up! Americanfreedom ( talk) 17:57, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Public Perception of Jared Kushner, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Kelly. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
