Hey there. I was wondering how long do you estimate til you're done editing all of the hurricane articles? The categories really aren't that significant, and I can't find any edits made by other people :/ In the future, could you label them as minor edits, by chance? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 02:10, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi there; I saw your move of Hurricane Charley a few minutes ago. Within the tropical cyclones project, it's a de facto standard for notable hurricanes to not be disambiguated in the title, due to their importance. For example, there was a storm which took the name of Betsy in 1956, but the more notable storm in 1965 was not disambiguated, and is located at Hurricane Betsy.
If you'd like to see it moved back to Hurricane Charley (2004), feel free to put up a discussion on the talk page.
Thanks,

I agree with the other category changes that you've made to articles relating to UK weather events, but I'm wondering why you removed the "Droughts in the United Kingdom" category from 1976 United Kingdom heat wave. That heatwave was the culmination of a long drought that began around May the previous year, and the category seems to me appropriate and useful for the article. It's true that the article was the only one with the category, which clearly isn't desirable, but that reflects a failure of people to provide articles on other notable droughts, something that hopefully will be put right at some point.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of unicorns, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Supernatural (TV series) ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I ran into you a couple of months ago during a flap about Rupert Sheldrake. Some of your userboxes inspired me to do a "user stats" section on my horribly oversized user page. See it HERE and notice a little joke -- a self-effacing comment in the second bullet references one of the pages I created. Tee hee.
If I knew how to do it, I'd like to include counts of all the articles in Wikipedia and all the active editors. I figured it out.

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the
signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer
Godot13 (
submissions), whose set of
14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.
Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.
More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.
I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Re: your post on User_talk:175.38.131.95 Yes, and it's an area that I have a strong interest in.

Liz, the admonished administrator Kww has been deleting my communication to you on your own talkpage if you haven't noticed. I will not repost it once you tell me it is unwelcome, not him. Again, I saw where you said about me that you "don't understand the reluctance to be forthcoming about alternate accounts." Excuse me if there's a note of frustration in my tone, but *I explained this* in my very first post, and at multiple points in the RFC/U. Once more: I don't have "alternate accounts." I am a single account user with a single prior account that I abandoned for privacy concerns. I hope you will consider going back [1] and changing your viewpoint.

Dear Liz, Just a heads up that I have now merged the content of Lifespan timeline of Domnitors of Romania into Domnitor (working through the AFDMERGE backlog), leaving a redirect as usual. In the discussion, there were explicit votes to delete rather than redirect; I assume from the close that you decided to re-interpret these per WP:Merge and delete, but I wanted to let you know in case I am mistaken.

Nothing in that category or the subcategories seem empty to me. It looks like some of the child categories were gutted but I don't know why, for example, Category:1600s in Africa has an extensive tree for the Ottoman empire but not this sultanate. Is the goal to have each of the categories under the Category:Majeerteen Sultanate deleted? If so, I can nominate my own categories for G7. Ricky81682 ( talk) 00:22, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
It really should be deleted. It was copy-pasted to that location by a newbie from Talk:Chambers (bus company) as part of the article merge. Talk pages should not be merged this way. So, I have restored it to Talk:Chambers (bus company). Currently, this page is just a copy-paste with no purpose, not to mention, we don't archive one article's talk to subpage of another (if we do, that's news to me).

I notice you're one of the admins who will relist AfDs a third time. I've stayed out of the general AfD arena but have been participating in occasional processes and specifically the three relisted category at admin backlog. Figured these would be sensitive cases and if I could learn to close those the others would be easier. I have found that often I can be most useful in making appropriate assertions to help tie up the discussion. I'm sure you've noticed my efforts. How am I doing? Can you see some weaknesses or bad habits? Can you provide me some advice or guidance? I haven't done this enough to be good at it yet but I am making an honest effort NOT to shy away from issues.

Hi Liz
I am new to AFC/NPP.
Please can you explain why this is a standard redirect? I have never seen a redirect from a draft to a main article? I just approved the draft being moved to main. Why do we then keep a redirect draft? It looks silly for the main article to have "redirected from draft" up the top, and I have never seen that before.
Thanks Liz, hoping I can understand.
MC MaxnaCarta ( talk) 01:26, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
I searched forever also! And I couldn’t work out what to do so I thought to tag. Normally I do not willy nilly tag but I thought that a redirect to an article I’d just approved would be in controversial maintenance. I will bring it up for sure and till then just leave the redirects. It’s interesting because I’ve never had any of my draft articles have a redirect attached. Oh well.
Thanks for the reply Liz. MaxnaCarta ( talk) 03:00, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello Liz, you had G4 deleted one of the past versions of Annamalai Kuppusamy. The article was WP:SALTED for repeated recreations. [2] The subject of the article, a politician who fails WP:NPOL as he never held any posts and lost one election he contested in. There is also a draft Draft:Annamalai Kuppusamy which was rejected for notability and is mostly edited by socks and SPA's. Yet again it has been created now under a different name at K. Annamalai (BJP Politician) after being salted with almost all of its content copied from the deleted versions and the draft. I believe G4 applies here too. Thanks.

Hi, ran across this because you closed it as delete and removed incoming links.
I disagree with the contention that there are not enough sources. I think the fact it became a separate company when it was not its own company in the days when it was a major deal in radio is muddying the notability waters. If this had been brought up to WikiProject Radio Stations, I might have contributed a Keep !vote. [1] [2] [3] [4]
I'm not sure how to proceed, but I feel like the sourcing is there. In several markets where MOYL became a thing, it led to long-form articles, and it was clearly a popular radio format for mostly declining AM stations in the 1980s. Thoughts?

Hi Liz, you deleted Transportation in Sarawak a few days ago per an AFD. I assume you use Twinkle to remove links to the article. After the article was deleted, there was a redlink left behind in a hatnote in Tanjung Manis District, which is even worse than a redlink in an article. Redlinks are allowed in articles for subjects that have potential, but should never be in hatnote or the see also section. There should have been a warning message in Twinkle that no link was found to the deleted article in Tanjung Manis District. That is because the link was not made with [[ ]], but was in a hatnote. So the article was added to Category:Articles with hatnote templates targeting a nonexistent page. I fix several of these almost every day, but there are over 8,500 and article deletions cause it to grow every day. Mentioning this because you commonly delete articles. Do you recall getting a warning message from Twinkle? MB 17:23, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz. Not sure whether you noticed, but Pizza Tower looks to be the same as Draft:Pizza Tower. The creator of both is the same and they were indef'd; so, it's unlikely the draft is going to be worked on. Does it need to be MFD or is just OK to wait until G13 becomes applicable? FWIW, if the article is deleted, File:PIZZA TOWER.webp will evntually end up deleted as well if it remains orphaned. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 02:42, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz. You BLP prodded Mariano Yenko back in February 2021, but it was deprodded when someone added a citation. That citation, however, just mentions Yenko once by name; so, in and of itself, it's not really sufficient to establish Wikipedia notability. I came across the article because of the non-free image being used in the main infobox. The rationale provided on the file's page states that Yenko has been dead since the late 1980s, but I can't find anything to verify this and the article is still listed as a BLP. I've asked the uploader about this at User talk:WayKurat #Mariano Yenko and also asked at WT:PINOY#Mariano Yenko so perhaps someone will be able to find some more sources. It's not so much that the file will most likely need to be deleted per WP:F7 if they can't, but rather more that there will be a one source BLP of someone who is supposed to have died around 35 years ago that is unlikely ever going be than it already is. Any other suggestions on what else to try and do here? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:13, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

I can't see the all history but it looks to me like a COI account had you delete Italia Conti, which had been an article about the actress before it was moved to Italia Emily Stella Conti to enable a move of Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.

I'm curious about something. You removed a redlink saying that the subject was moved to Draft space. There's a redlink just below the E06 row in that table for E09. I thought redlinks for subjects were a good thing. Per WP:ROADOUTCOMES that article would be kept. I draftified it earlier because it was an infobox-only situation. If the author had added some prose, I would have tagged it as a stub and moved on. So I wonder why the redlink is so harmful that it needs to be removed, twice?

I ask mostly in connection with the many Olympic stubs now passing through the system where there is always a plausible redirect target, since all events at all Olympics have their own articles; and (2) (brought forward, with apologies, from further up your talk page on 31 Aug): Could you reconsider whether Erminio Confortola might be redirected rather than deleted? a couple of !voters did suggest redirection as an alternative, and there seems to be no good reason not to. Thanks, Ingratis ( talk) 09:53, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks very much for your helpful reply, which makes the restrictions on closing admins a lot clearer (what a thankless job!) I was hesitating to create the redirect myself because in the light of the AfD decision it may be deleted again by someone else but have now gone ahead with it. Thanks again for taking the time to reply in detail - I do appreciate it. All best wishes, Ingratis ( talk) 21:49, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz, I know you do a lot of closures of deletion discussions, so I don't want to be annoying, but could you elaborate on your decision in this closure please? Personally I think it seems more like a no consensus than a keep. I realize they're effectively the same in the way they impact the article but there is still a meaningful difference between no consensus and keep. –– FormalDude (talk) 21:19, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi @ Liz, good day. I see you deleted a redirect only four days ago for Shakira impersonator. This has been recreated under a full article. I'm quite green at New Page Reviewing and for my own learning want to get this correct. Is there a version you deleted that is relevant to assessing this article? I'm slightly confused - is it just coincidence we had a redirect deleted four days ago, now a full article comes back under the same name? Article creator looks like a diehard Shakira fan. Normally I skip over the more tricky reviews and leave for someone more experienced but I thought I should reach out and ask what you think is the go here.

Hello Liz, and thanks for noticing the workaround on my user name. What I can't figure out is how a new user page with the name 'User:Randy Kryn' was created when that combination of letters was already in use. Do you know how this could be done?

I am puzzled by this article, or rather by the closure of the AFD for the article. The closure is to merge the article into Draft:Jean Dawson. However, the article never had any information that wasn't in the article, so there is nothing to merge. I think that the recommendation of multiple editors that a merge was in order was a mistake, but maybe you can explain something to me. I also don't understand how some of the editors said that the subject passed notability, but my guess is that they are seeing sources that aren't in the text of the article. I have declined the draft as not meeting musical notability, but I am puzzled about the article. I see nothing to merge.
I don't want to go to Deletion Review, partly because I think that it will confuse the reviewers there also, but the current situation is a mess with a stub article saying that it needs to be merged, and there is nothing to merge. Robert McClenon ( talk) 21:01, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

I would like you to reconsider your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Growler, Arizona. Right now we have a mess of redirects because, when I promoted my (unfortunately extremely stubby) version of Growler Mine Area, I redirected the discussed article to it, which was not only then reverted, but my article was copied over top of the old version of Growler, Arizona, and the NRHP article cut-and-pasted over the latter and then redirected to the town article, to the point where "Growler, Arizona" begins "The Growler Mine Area is a historic mine[.]" I have tried reverting some of this with comments as to why, but I am now up to two reverts and obviously that's not going further. I am headed to @ Onel5969:'s talk page to try to find out why he is being obdurate about this, but the impression I get from his comments is that since the AfD result was "keep", there must be an article at that name and not a redirect. I personally have my own issues with "keep" as a closure, but perhaps a clarification of the result is in order. Mangoe ( talk) 03:36, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz, please can you expand on why you draftified Draft:Peninah malonza instead of just deleting it per CSD A3? As I understand with drafts, they should be plausible topics that have some potential as an article, but surely not when the entire contents are headings (not even formatted correctly) with zero prose or useful information? This isn't the first instance, though I am quite sure this is not the kind of article we should be sending to draft. Thanks. Bungle ( talk • contribs) 16:03, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
applies to articles consisting only of external links, category tags or "See also" sections, a rephrasing of the title, attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title, questions that should have been asked at a noticeboard, chat-like comments, template tags, or images, which didn't seem to apply to this page which consisted of section headings. Typical main space articles I have deleted as CSD A3 just contained external links or an image and this looked like pages I usually come across in Draft space where I do much of my work these days. Also, this editor has been working in Draft space so I thought that it looked like the start of an article they were intending to write and it was mistakenly placed in main space.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2022).
Hi Liz, sorry to bother, but I think I'm just confused about the CSD rules. In rejecting my tag, you said: "It will not be eligible until 6 months from today (unless some else edits it in the meantime).
"
Are you saying that simply CSD tagging in and of itself, and rejecting of that tag, counts as a human edit of G13? That this would reset the clock? This seems to be a strange thing since I was just attempting to correct an earlier CSD.
G13 says "human edits". The only edit in 6 months aside from my original CSD was from citation bot and someone using an autowikibot apostrophe fixer. I was under the impression that these were bot edits, not human edits, for the purposes of G13. If I was mistaken, I completely understand. But does that mistake alone really reset the clock ANOTHER 6 months? Why does it not simply mean, wait until 6 months have really elapsed (which they now have, even from those edits I thought were bot edits).
It sounds quite cyclical in reasoning. I'm also noticing that different admins appear to treat this question differently. is it ambiguity that needs clarification in G13?
Please provide any clarity you can as I'm quite confused about this! Thanks — Shibbolethink ( ♔ ♕) 13:21, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello Liz. Hoping you're well, I write this message to you to know in which reasons was my Sandbox deleted. I created the sandbox with the purpose of creating drafts and testing. However I decided to rewrite it from scratch, deleting all previous drafts I made, however the thing is I found out today that my sandbox was deleted due to the misuse as a Webhost. However I wanted to make this clearing, because the recent draft I created was a draft for my user page, however as it was a user page draft, I added by mistake the external links of my personal pages section with two (equal signs) instead of three to include it as a sub title of the draft, but I didn't make any misuse, it was a little mistake I was going to fix but due of other things I have to do (such as study and work) I didn't fix it, and obviously that made my sandbox look like a "webhost".
Hoping a sooner answer and solution,

Liz, my apologies, it has been many years, and it seems the only way I cross paths with distant colleagues is when a misunderstanding or disagreement occurs. Thankfully, it does not often happen (which adds to the time elapsed between points off contract).
At issue is a huggle-driven assessment of an extensive corrective edit as being vandalism, that original edit being driven by an article clearly in violation of WP:OR and (esp.) WP:VER. The article was a physics glossary, all but devoid of citations.
The bot/tool having identified the edit as possible vandalism, the editor then mistakenly affirmed the tool's catch, and reverted the hours of work on the edit. (In the communications between this original editor and the reverting bot user, see links below, and then this editor and the admin supporting the tool-inspired reversion — these make clear the extent of the edits, which go far beyond anything that could be considered vandalism. You can see these in the links that follow. "An edit that in part or more substantially, another editor could disagree with." Possibly, yes. But vandalism contrary to the aim and history and spirit of WP? No.)
Following the original edit, and that initial reversion, I contacted the tool-driven editor, pointing out the case for their misinterpretation of the original edit. I then made a mistake: instead of walking away, and waiting, thinking my communication to that reverting editor was sufficiently explanatory, I reverted their original reversion. This is the only step taken, between the original edit and what followed, that I regret. I should have given the initial communication the time needed, so that the tool-driven editor had time to reverse their own action.
At that point, I would say, the edit and its responses took an unhelpful turn. An administrator joined the fray, returned the tool-driven reversion, and issued a two week block of this editor. (The block appeared in two places, one as a two day block, the second as a two week block, the latter apparently being what took technical efect.)
That block was unnecessary—insofar as the easily applied but extreme restraint miscast the original edit as true vandalism, and this editor as a true vandal/miscreant, rather than the original edit being an earnest attempt to improve WP, and this editor a longstanding contributor dedicated to WP, and its important policies and guidelines. A simple communication with me would have accomplished the same, and wasted less time of all parties involved. Moreover, with a view toward fairness and justice, and a better encyclopedia, it would've allowed us to move toward understanding and a better encyclopedia, rather than shutting down communication and leaving the violation-ridden article in place, as it stood before all this began.
So, I'd ask you to look in, or have another fairminded editor (or editors) look in, and decide if the original edit was reversion-worthy—as opposed to being a bold edit that we all, IP-editors included, have always been encouraged to make (even if it needed to be modified by a further build edit!).
Then, second, I'd ask the same attention to the decision to block—was that single reversion (which I've admitted to having been a mistake) sufficient to issue such a block? Along with that, was the reason for the block that was given, in is very abbreviated form (no reference to WP policies or guidelines), and pointedness (to the point if being uncivil) — is this in keeping with current expectations of WP administrative action?
Third and finally, I'd ask what expectations one questioning a block might have. Perhaps by this time, the challenge to the block that I wrote has led to a reply. But after several days (and because work put me on the road again), I have seen no response to the appeal, and so lost hope of an easy, fair review of this matter.
And in this last paragraph, we arrive at what I think was the only real (and unfortunate) outcome of the tool-driven reversion of the source-checking and policy-noting original edit: that an article was returned to its clearly problematic, policy-violating state without any hint of the issues, and that this editor, dedicated to WP and its ideals, policies and guidelines (if not it's oversight apparatus and practices), is all the further disallusioned.
So, I request you have a look at the following links, which are presented in rough order of the interactions related to this question.
With regard, a former regular, note occasional editor (and professor).

Hi
Seems my user page was put up for speedy deletion at 8:37 on sunday(by Minorax) then deleted 8:42(by yourself), under use of web hosting. The deletion notice on my talk says to contact the deleting admin, not the proposing admin, so I've come here to figure out what's up. I certainly didn't intend to be using wikipedia as a host.
Seemingly I messed something up with the content- I tried to put a breif introduction so people would know who was editing and what my focuses were, but i've no interest in a random out of context bio and I've not pointed to the page from anywhere else. While my own web hosting is(ironically) undergoing downtime right now, I've got access to web hosting and domains if I want to use them.
Can you advise on creating a talk page with a similar spirit which doesn't come across as using it for web hosting? Adacable ( talk) 08:35, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Liz. I hope you're doing well. I just have this small issue here with an editor who seems that they aren't aware of their actions which is disruption of WP:CIV.
The user Krimuk2.0 ( talk · contribs) had reverted my edits on the Tara Sutaria page. The edit summary stated words like "reductant crap" referring to my edits. I took this matter to their talk page. And instead of coming to a consensus, I get replied by a warn which makes no sense. And added to this, they deleted the message on their talk page.
I'm surprised that this editor has various permissions as well. I hope you'll look into this and just guide me. If I'm mistaken anywhere do let me know, because it seems the other editor is least bothered to do this.
Thanks Rejoy2003 12:50, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply, Liz. I'm glad I got a third opinion in this. But regarding warning me, doesn't it seems that they kind of misused their power?
I mean to be honest, I have applied almost 4-5 times for permissions on Wikipedia which I've been declined and such petty warns over small issues, I personally feel was uncalled for. And which will in return not so help me while asking for certain permissions. Do let me know what you think

Hi Liz,
Please reconsider your close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Weaver Junction. While numerically the keep votes are in the majority, they without fail are all either drive-by votes with no real rationale, or are seriously flawed with respect to policy. I did a thorough analysis of the article and sources, showing why the article did not meet GNG, and no editors were able to refute my analysis. I realize I'm borderline asking you to supervote here, but I quite simply cannot see valid rationale for keeping this article when no examples of significant coverage can be found. I've tried to find some, but was unsuccessful. I queried multiple keep voters about what they thought was significant coverage, and all either ignored my question or responded with vague claims that "we've kept stuff that was pieced together from a bunch of trivial mentions before". I believe a keep close is inconsistent with the strength of the arguments presented in the AfD, and you should reconsider.
On a wholly unrelated note, I've noticed you're a lot more active in closing AfDs in general, and I do appreciate you helping keep this area of the project running smoothly. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 13:07, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
You might notice that I reverted a bunch of your edits, but not because there was anything wrong with them; that was just the most efficient way to restore a large number of links to a re-stubbed article that was previously deleted as a copyvio. I would note, however, that since the subject was clearly notable (a Louisiana Supreme Court Justice), per WP:REDBIO it also would have been permissible to leave the red links in place. Cheers!

Liz, @User:Drmies restricts Talk at that page to registered users, apparently, so I cannot go direct with this request. Could you request there that the article glucuronic acid be examined, and that whatever is believed to be the minimally necessary WP:VERIFY reader warnings for an article in its state, that those be placed, so I can see? (You are welcome to express your view via an edit as well, but I really do not wish to make substantial extra work for you.) The first citation in the main body of that article does not appear until the second main section, and therein, the second subsection. Moreover, most of the rest of the second section is unsourced as well, and none of the unsourced content I've reviewed is sky-is-blue information.
Given the fact that edits at WP from IP addresses that warn readers we are violating our own rules about sourcing now risk reversion, at least, I would like to see a clear example of what WP Admins believe to be a sufficient addition of templates to an article in that state. I would add: it is likely, given the overall paucity of sourcing there, that the lead, while perhaps adequate in beginning to summarize the article — that it is nevertheless derived from content that is not based in any source appearing, and so likewise deserves an edit introducing that further warning. Cheers, thanks in advance for whatever you might choose to do. 2601:240:CD06:74E0:C9A9:6475:CF47:41A2 ( talk) 03:47, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Hiya. This is a new one to me, so wanted your advice on quite where it goes next. I nominated John Mateer for deletion as a fail of WP:GNG and the author clearly got into a state about that, posting walls of text in the AfD. You kindly suggested draftspace was their friend and I said I wouldn't object to you draftifying it (remember this one?) as there was no other vote on the AfD. The author then took it to draft themselves, changed the article title and slipped it right back into mainspace. So now we have John Mateer (filmmaker) in mainspace and a redlinked AfD that's not closed. I'm not sure the article is any more WP:GNG-worthy than it was before, but the modus operandi struck me as a tad, well, egregious? Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 08:06, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I've noticed you've moved the draft List of DC Extended Universe films ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) to mainspace. It seems to have been submitted to AfC but, while on a vacuum the article seems to stand on its own, it's actually an outdated WP:CONTENTFORK of the more comprehensive DC Extended Universe ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), made preemptively while there were discussions of splitting this original, larger article. I think that this recently moved article should be moved back to draftspace, until discussions resume and a consensus to split the original article is reached, after which the move to mainspace and the restructuring of the original article would be coordinated. — El Millo ( talk) 00:25, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Liz. I wish to inquire into your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lost Mysteries#Lost Mysteries. I'm a bit confused as to why you closed an AfD that had just been relisted, and should have been allowed to expire before closing the discussion. Also, WP:AFDFORMAT says that a vote does not constitute a discussion (2 + author, against 1). The two editors defending StarTrekker's article, offered very little justification in their vote, and you did not comment on the closing itself... but you did provide a recommendation (see below). Are you taking a neutral standpoint regarding the justifying citations being called into question? Was there an issue with the process?
The article could benefit from a lot more, but if noteworthy reliable sources are used to populate a § Reception, then I would agree that this would satisfy
WP:GNG. But in short, I don't believe this process was given its due fairness because of the early closure sans brief explanation for the keep decision.
Thank you for your understanding. —

Liz: There is, in the German encyclopedia, an article for a young vocal artist named Cat Burns. if you follow the wiki link just inserted, you'll see that it takes you to a single from this artist, rather than to an artist page per se (and so the links to the artist within that page are circular, returning one to the page for the single).
If you could create a workspace, with a link to it here, pasting in the content of the German article on this artist — I would enter that workspace, do the translation, check the sources, etc., making it ready for introduction as a new article. (I think her notability is clear, or I would not suggest this.)
I ask this collaborative venture because of my experience in seeing major, bold efforts from this IP being reversed without due consideration or discussion. That is, I'm willing to put in hours of work on major edits, but not alone, given the history of such work resulting in reversion and blocks.
Thanks in advance, if you can create that workspace and link to it here. If your time does not permit this, I would understand, and the English encyclopedia will have to do without an article on this English language artist, for the present.
Finally, in tracing you in anticipation of leaving this message — I'm on the road, traveling — I came across a mention of a diagnosis.

Hi Liz,
Thanks for your message re the above. Having now reviewed the facts it appears, to my mortification, that you are correct. The deletions were in fact slightly ahead of the 7 day deadline, albeit by around 40 minutes or so. I have no real excuse for this, other than I'd had a long and quite stressful day. Not really good enough though, and I'll try to take more care in future, so thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I think the likelihood of a last minute "rescue" for these articles was quite slim and I do try to check links before deletion and try to deal with those "of consequence" such as Wiki Projects or other articles etc. My apologies if I failed in this instance. I was originally an opposer of the PROD procedure but, given the appalling standard of some material that creeps into mainspace, I now support it. Thanks again for the notification.

Hello Liz,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
Random act of kindness from someone who's been through stuff.

I think that the lesson learned is that New Page reviewers should be reminded to check the history of a page before draftifying it. Some reviewers always do this, some usually do this (including myself), and some don't seem to care about details like page history. Robert McClenon ( talk) 05:51, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
I moved it to draft because whilst it charted there was no other supporting references, apart from Discogs (an unreliable source) - felt that it still needed work. I'm not certain what happened with the re-creation of the article in mainspace - clearly that wasn't my intention. Apologies if it cause extra work trying to merge the two histories. I still feel that it needs extra supporting references but the fact it charted in both the Netherlands and Belgium just gets it across the line. Dan arndt ( talk) 08:04, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz!
I see you've deleted Category:Apple Inc. articles needing attention only to referencing and citation. It's one of the cleanup categories we use at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Apple_Inc., and shouldn't be deleted even if empty; it's also used in the WikiProject template.

An article you recently created,
NumFOCUS, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). Right now there is no in-depth coverage of this group from reliable, independent sourcs. I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello Liz, I Am Ayman from Iraq, I Would like to discuss the deletion of the Battle of Kut, the Battle of Kut was indeed somewhat misworded and maybe even under-sources, but it did happen, and you can even check the Arabic article to confirm so, which gives you 10 sources! During the Mahdist Revolution against American Occupation by Sayyid Al Qa'id Muqtada Al Sadr Many cities went into complete revolution, some harder then others, Al-Kut's Coalition headquarters was besieged and bombarded with Mortars by the Mahdi army, Ukrainian-American Joint Occupation of the City was ended soon after as Coalition forces ran out of ammo and had to retreat from the city, American forces would then launch harsh bombardment campaigns on the city which inflicted more casualties on Civilians then it did on Insurgents, the Killing of several schoolgirls in a bus the Coalition forces thought was an insurgent bus also occured, the mentioning of these events is important as to not underplay the suffering of the People of Kut under Coalition forces, and I Hope you understand that.
Sources: (Copied from the Arabic Article) [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] You can try to translate them, if the links dont work for you let me know

Hello,
Liz! I've noticed that you moved Charter 91 to draft. It was previously deleted as a copyvio, see
here, and is IMHO blatantly promotional, Charter 91 is not a partisan endeavour comprised of members. Affixing one’s signature is the sole condition for acceptance of its guiding principles. This Charter is neither a pretext for establishing government, nor subscribes to a particular political orientation. We the undersigned do believe, however, that politics and the State should solely be concerned with earthly matters, and recognize that the latter must be subject to the will of the public. Raising awareness of the principles underpinning this Charter may only be achieved with the participatory support of the people of Iran. As such, it is incumbent upon us to pursue transparent objectives and to strive to assist individuals and civic activists concerned with advancing principles and norms referred to herein.
Per
WP:DRAFT (correct me if I'm wrong), a topic moved to draft should have some potential merit. I'm afraid I have to disagree that a G11-eligible article would have some potential. IMHO it's probably not eligible for A7 given that it has one ref. If you could elaborate that would be great, many thanks for your time and help again!

Hi Liz,
I saw you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Route 902, Victorian Bus Route as a redirect. The page author appears to have done a cut and paste move to 902 (PTV Bus) which has identical text to the article that was redirected. I'm not sure the procedure here - I was going to tag it for CSD G4 and then realized a redirect is technically not the same as a deletion.

Dear Liz,
With respect to your close of WP: Articles for deletion/Patrick Wilson (New Zealand actor), I believe you may have cast a supervote. There were five votes to Keep the article and two to Delete it. Yet you closed the AfD with a Delete. You had previously relisted the AfD when there was already a clear consensus to Keep the article, and noted your concerns with regard to WP:SIGCOV. And when you closed the article as a “Delete”, you argued that there was no WP:SIGCOV, which suggests that your own personal view that the notability standards weren’t met took precedence over the consensus, which was that such standards were met. I kindly ask you to consider re-opening the AfD and allowing another editor to determine the consensus. Thanks,

Hi there; I saw your move of Hurricane Charley a few minutes ago. Within the tropical cyclones project, it's a de facto standard for notable hurricanes to not be disambiguated in the title, due to their importance. For example, there was a storm which took the name of Betsy in 1956, but the more notable storm in 1965 was not disambiguated, and is located at Hurricane Betsy.
If you'd like to see it moved back to Hurricane Charley (2004), feel free to put up a discussion on the talk page.

I agree with the other category changes that you've made to articles relating to UK weather events, but I'm wondering why you removed the "Droughts in the United Kingdom" category from 1976 United Kingdom heat wave. That heatwave was the culmination of a long drought that began around May the previous year, and the category seems to me appropriate and useful for the article. It's true that the article was the only one with the category, which clearly isn't desirable, but that reflects a failure of people to provide articles on other notable droughts, something that hopefully will be put right at some point.

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the
signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer
Godot13 (
submissions), whose set of
14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.
Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Please stop removing categories of people of Middle Eastern/Southwest Asian descent from their proper Jewish categories. It's been agreed upon to include them in various discussions, and you've been reverted every single time you did removed such categories, but you still persist. Next time, a warning shall be sent.

Hi Liz. I was wondering why you removed all the articles from Category:Warehouse 13 episodes? I thought it was common practice to categorise TV episode articles in this way. Thanks. DH85868993 ( talk) 01:11, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.
More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.
I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Re: your post on User_talk:175.38.131.95 Yes, and it's an area that I have a strong interest in. May I enquire as to whether there is some sort of issue?I presume that "diving into a contentious category" is something that I have the right to do, and honestly, I'm not sure I would consider that category to be particularly contentious, especially since a very substantial percentage of the Jewish population do have Semitic DNA markers.

Liz, the admonished administrator Kww has been deleting my communication to you on your own talkpage if you haven't noticed. I will not repost it once you tell me it is unwelcome, not him. Again, I saw where you said about me that you "don't understand the reluctance to be forthcoming about alternate accounts." Excuse me if there's a note of frustration in my tone, but *I explained this* in my very first post, and at multiple points in the RFC/U. Once more: I don't have "alternate accounts." I am a single account user with a single prior account that I abandoned for privacy concerns. I hope you will consider going back [1] and changing your viewpoint.

Hello. Any idea where File:Photo of Chad Knight.jpg was used? -- Minorax«¦ talk¦» 11:04, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2022).
Dear Liz, Just a heads up that I have now merged the content of Lifespan timeline of Domnitors of Romania into Domnitor (working through the AFDMERGE backlog), leaving a redirect as usual. In the discussion, there were explicit votes to delete rather than redirect; I assume from the close that you decided to re-interpret these per WP:Merge and delete, but I wanted to let you know in case I am mistaken.

Hello, Liz,
Thank you for the information. I didn't know the policy. As the tag said "If you know of pages which are appropriate for this category, please populate it and remove this notice." I thought I could do it. I won't do it anymore.
And adding content categories to pages in Draft space is over, don't worry. Thanks again. Itxia ( talk) 15:27, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Nothing in that category or the subcategories seem empty to me. It looks like some of the child categories were gutted but I don't know why, for example, Category:1600s in Africa has an extensive tree for the Ottoman empire but not this sultanate. Is the goal to have each of the categories under the Category:Majeerteen Sultanate deleted? If so, I can nominate my own categories for G7. Ricky81682 ( talk) 00:22, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
It really should be deleted. It was copy-pasted to that location by a newbie from Talk:Chambers (bus company) as part of the article merge. Talk pages should not be merged this way. So, I have restored it to Talk:Chambers (bus company). Currently, this page is just a copy-paste with no purpose, not to mention, we don't archive one article's talk to subpage of another (if we do, that's news to me).

I notice you're one of the admins who will relist AfDs a third time. I've stayed out of the general AfD arena but have been participating in occasional processes and specifically the three relisted category at admin backlog. Figured these would be sensitive cases and if I could learn to close those the others would be easier. I have found that often I can be most useful in making appropriate assertions to help tie up the discussion. I'm sure you've noticed my efforts. How am I doing? Can you see some weaknesses or bad habits? Can you provide me some advice or guidance? I haven't done this enough to be good at it yet but I am making an honest effort NOT to shy away from issues.

Hi Liz, can you please point me to the discussion for the above article? I can't seem to find it anywhere. PICKLEDICAE🥒 23:37, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz
I am new to AFC/NPP.
Please can you explain why this is a standard redirect? I have never seen a redirect from a draft to a main article? I just approved the draft being moved to main. Why do we then keep a redirect draft? It looks silly for the main article to have "redirected from draft" up the top, and I have never seen that before.
Thanks Liz, hoping I can understand.
MC MaxnaCarta ( talk) 01:26, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
I searched forever also! And I couldn’t work out what to do so I thought to tag. Normally I do not willy nilly tag but I thought that a redirect to an article I’d just approved would be in controversial maintenance. I will bring it up for sure and till then just leave the redirects. It’s interesting because I’ve never had any of my draft articles have a redirect attached. Oh well.
Thanks for the reply Liz. MaxnaCarta ( talk) 03:00, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Redirects that are a result of page moves from the draft namespace to the main namespace should be retained.and it refers to the RFC I mention above. Liz Read! Talk! 22:48, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello Liz, you had G4 deleted one of the past versions of Annamalai Kuppusamy. The article was WP:SALTED for repeated recreations. [2] The subject of the article, a politician who fails WP:NPOL as he never held any posts and lost one election he contested in. There is also a draft Draft:Annamalai Kuppusamy which was rejected for notability and is mostly edited by socks and SPA's. Yet again it has been created now under a different name at K. Annamalai (BJP Politician) after being salted with almost all of its content copied from the deleted versions and the draft. I believe G4 applies here too. Thanks.

Hi, ran across this because you closed it as delete and removed incoming links.
I disagree with the contention that there are not enough sources. I think the fact it became a separate company when it was not its own company in the days when it was a major deal in radio is muddying the notability waters. If this had been brought up to WikiProject Radio Stations, I might have contributed a Keep !vote. [1] [2] [3] [4]
I'm not sure how to proceed, but I feel like the sourcing is there. In several markets where MOYL became a thing, it led to long-form articles, and it was clearly a popular radio format for mostly declining AM stations in the 1980s. Thoughts?

Hi Liz, you deleted Transportation in Sarawak a few days ago per an AFD. I assume you use Twinkle to remove links to the article. After the article was deleted, there was a redlink left behind in a hatnote in Tanjung Manis District, which is even worse than a redlink in an article. Redlinks are allowed in articles for subjects that have potential, but should never be in hatnote or the see also section. There should have been a warning message in Twinkle that no link was found to the deleted article in Tanjung Manis District. That is because the link was not made with [[ ]], but was in a hatnote. So the article was added to Category:Articles with hatnote templates targeting a nonexistent page. I fix several of these almost every day, but there are over 8,500 and article deletions cause it to grow every day. Mentioning this because you commonly delete articles. Do you recall getting a warning message from Twinkle? MB 17:23, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz. Not sure whether you noticed, but Pizza Tower looks to be the same as Draft:Pizza Tower. The creator of both is the same and they were indef'd; so, it's unlikely the draft is going to be worked on. Does it need to be MFD or is just OK to wait until G13 becomes applicable? FWIW, if the article is deleted, File:PIZZA TOWER.webp will evntually end up deleted as well if it remains orphaned. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 02:42, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

hello colleague. this article has been created and deleted on other wikis.

Hi Liz. You BLP prodded Mariano Yenko back in February 2021, but it was deprodded when someone added a citation. That citation, however, just mentions Yenko once by name; so, in and of itself, it's not really sufficient to establish Wikipedia notability. I came across the article because of the non-free image being used in the main infobox. The rationale provided on the file's page states that Yenko has been dead since the late 1980s, but I can't find anything to verify this and the article is still listed as a BLP. I've asked the uploader about this at User talk:WayKurat #Mariano Yenko and also asked at WT:PINOY#Mariano Yenko so perhaps someone will be able to find some more sources. It's not so much that the file will most likely need to be deleted per WP:F7 if they can't, but rather more that there will be a one source BLP of someone who is supposed to have died around 35 years ago that is unlikely ever going be than it already is. Any other suggestions on what else to try and do here? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:13, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

I can't see the all history but it looks to me like a COI account had you delete Italia Conti, which had been an article about the actress before it was moved to Italia Emily Stella Conti to enable a move of Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts. The actress should be at the basic title, surely? Anyway, Italia Conti was certainly not a "one editor" article, given the history before the move. DuncanHill ( talk) 18:59, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz - I see you deleted this in January 2021 as an expired PROD. I have found a couple of sources that I think will establish notability. (I found it as a disambiguation for Falling for Christmas, which is an upcoming film.) St Anselm ( talk) 19:12, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
I'm curious about something. You removed a redlink saying that the subject was moved to Draft space. There's a redlink just below the E06 row in that table for E09. I thought redlinks for subjects were a good thing. Per WP:ROADOUTCOMES that article would be kept. I draftified it earlier because it was an infobox-only situation. If the author had added some prose, I would have tagged it as a stub and moved on. So I wonder why the redlink is so harmful that it needs to be removed, twice?

Hello Liz. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Wikipedia:WikiProject Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The other version was deleted because it was created by a sock.

Hello Liz. I can see you're busy, but if you get a moment... (1) Is a closing admin at an AfD able to decide to redirect rather than delete an article even if no-one has explicitly !voted for it? I ask mostly in connection with the many Olympic stubs now passing through the system where there is always a plausible redirect target, since all events at all Olympics have their own articles; and (2) (brought forward, with apologies, from further up your talk page on 31 Aug): Could you reconsider whether Erminio Confortola might be redirected rather than deleted? a couple of !voters did suggest redirection as an alternative, and there seems to be no good reason not to. Thanks, Ingratis ( talk) 09:53, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks very much for your helpful reply, which makes the restrictions on closing admins a lot clearer (what a thankless job!) I was hesitating to create the redirect myself because in the light of the AfD decision it may be deleted again by someone else but have now gone ahead with it. Thanks again for taking the time to reply in detail - I do appreciate it. All best wishes, Ingratis ( talk) 21:49, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi @ Liz, good day. I see you deleted a redirect only four days ago for Shakira impersonator. This has been recreated under a full article. I'm quite green at New Page Reviewing and for my own learning want to get this correct. Is there a version you deleted that is relevant to assessing this article? I'm slightly confused - is it just coincidence we had a redirect deleted four days ago, now a full article comes back under the same name? Article creator looks like a diehard Shakira fan. Normally I skip over the more tricky reviews and leave for someone more experienced but I thought I should reach out and ask what you think is the go here.

Hello Liz, and thanks for noticing the workaround on my user name. What I can't figure out is how a new user page with the name 'User:Randy Kryn' was created when that combination of letters was already in use. Do you know how this could be done?

I am assuming this is a good faith mistake, not something related to the controversy over nuclear power.

I am puzzled by this article, or rather by the closure of the AFD for the article. The closure is to merge the article into Draft:Jean Dawson. However, the article never had any information that wasn't in the article, so there is nothing to merge. I think that the recommendation of multiple editors that a merge was in order was a mistake, but maybe you can explain something to me. I also don't understand how some of the editors said that the subject passed notability, but my guess is that they are seeing sources that aren't in the text of the article. I have declined the draft as not meeting musical notability, but I am puzzled about the article. I see nothing to merge.
I don't want to go to Deletion Review, partly because I think that it will confuse the reviewers there also, but the current situation is a mess with a stub article saying that it needs to be merged, and there is nothing to merge. Robert McClenon ( talk) 21:01, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, you just deleted five pages (after this) I wasn't against the deletion, that's why I didn't participate in the discussion but based on the nominator's request I thought they will be merged into the main article, but now they are deleted and I can't merge them with the main page. I wonder if you still have access to those deleted tables/information? I would like to add some of those tables to the main page which was the nominator's request too. thanks in advance.

I would like you to reconsider your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Growler, Arizona. Right now we have a mess of redirects because, when I promoted my (unfortunately extremely stubby) version of Growler Mine Area, I redirected the discussed article to it, which was not only then reverted, but my article was copied over top of the old version of Growler, Arizona, and the NRHP article cut-and-pasted over the latter and then redirected to the town article, to the point where "Growler, Arizona" begins "The Growler Mine Area is a historic mine[.]" I have tried reverting some of this with comments as to why, but I am now up to two reverts and obviously that's not going further. I am headed to @ Onel5969:'s talk page to try to find out why he is being obdurate about this, but the impression I get from his comments is that since the AfD result was "keep", there must be an article at that name and not a redirect. I personally have my own issues with "keep" as a closure, but perhaps a clarification of the result is in order. Mangoe ( talk) 03:36, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

I have since read up more on this code and completely altered the draft offline as in my sandbox, the notice I received has stated the following: ' If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the user(s) who performed the action(s) listed below'. As this is very different to the original draft, should I proceed with creating a new draft or request the page be restored?

Hi Liz, please can you expand on why you draftified Draft:Peninah malonza instead of just deleting it per CSD A3? As I understand with drafts, they should be plausible topics that have some potential as an article, but surely not when the entire contents are headings (not even formatted correctly) with zero prose or useful information? This isn't the first instance, though I am quite sure this is not the kind of article we should be sending to draft. Thanks. Bungle ( talk • contribs) 16:03, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
applies to articles consisting only of external links, category tags or "See also" sections, a rephrasing of the title, attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title, questions that should have been asked at a noticeboard, chat-like comments, template tags, or images, which didn't seem to apply to this page which consisted of section headings. Typical main space articles I have deleted as CSD A3 just contained external links or an image and this looked like pages I usually come across in Draft space where I do much of my work these days. Also, this editor has been working in Draft space so I thought that it looked like the start of an article they were intending to write and it was mistakenly placed in main space.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2022).
Hi Liz, sorry to bother, but I think I'm just confused about the CSD rules. In rejecting my tag, you said: "It will not be eligible until 6 months from today (unless some else edits it in the meantime).
"
Are you saying that simply CSD tagging in and of itself, and rejecting of that tag, counts as a human edit of G13? That this would reset the clock? This seems to be a strange thing since I was just attempting to correct an earlier CSD.
G13 says "human edits". The only edit in 6 months aside from my original CSD was from citation bot and someone using an autowikibot apostrophe fixer. I was under the impression that these were bot edits, not human edits, for the purposes of G13. If I was mistaken, I completely understand. But does that mistake alone really reset the clock ANOTHER 6 months? Why does it not simply mean, wait until 6 months have really elapsed (which they now have, even from those edits I thought were bot edits).
It sounds quite cyclical in reasoning. I'm also noticing that different admins appear to treat this question differently. is it ambiguity that needs clarification in G13?
Please provide any clarity you can as I'm quite confused about this! Thanks — Shibbolethink ( ♔ ♕) 13:21, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello Liz. Hoping you're well, I write this message to you to know in which reasons was my Sandbox deleted. I created the sandbox with the purpose of creating drafts and testing. However I decided to rewrite it from scratch, deleting all previous drafts I made, however the thing is I found out today that my sandbox was deleted due to the misuse as a Webhost. However I wanted to make this clearing, because the recent draft I created was a draft for my user page, however as it was a user page draft, I added by mistake the external links of my personal pages section with two (equal signs) instead of three to include it as a sub title of the draft, but I didn't make any misuse, it was a little mistake I was going to fix but due of other things I have to do (such as study and work) I didn't fix it, and obviously that made my sandbox look like a "webhost".
Hoping a sooner answer and solution,

Liz, my apologies, it has been many years, and it seems the only way I cross paths with distant colleagues is when a misunderstanding or disagreement occurs. Thankfully, it does not often happen (which adds to the time elapsed between points off contract).
At issue is a huggle-driven assessment of an extensive corrective edit as being vandalism, that original edit being driven by an article clearly in violation of WP:OR and (esp.) WP:VER. The article was a physics glossary, all but devoid of citations.
The bot/tool having identified the edit as possible vandalism, the editor then mistakenly affirmed the tool's catch, and reverted the hours of work on the edit. (In the communications between this original editor and the reverting bot user, see links below, and then this editor and the admin supporting the tool-inspired reversion — these make clear the extent of the edits, which go far beyond anything that could be considered vandalism. You can see these in the links that follow. "An edit that in part or more substantially, another editor could disagree with." Possibly, yes. But vandalism contrary to the aim and history and spirit of WP? No.)
Following the original edit, and that initial reversion, I contacted the tool-driven editor, pointing out the case for their misinterpretation of the original edit. I then made a mistake: instead of walking away, and waiting, thinking my communication to that reverting editor was sufficiently explanatory, I reverted their original reversion. This is the only step taken, between the original edit and what followed, that I regret. I should have given the initial communication the time needed, so that the tool-driven editor had time to reverse their own action.
At that point, I would say, the edit and its responses took an unhelpful turn. An administrator joined the fray, returned the tool-driven reversion, and issued a two week block of this editor. (The block appeared in two places, one as a two day block, the second as a two week block, the latter apparently being what took technical efect.)
That block was unnecessary—insofar as the easily applied but extreme restraint miscast the original edit as true vandalism, and this editor as a true vandal/miscreant, rather than the original edit being an earnest attempt to improve WP, and this editor a longstanding contributor dedicated to WP, and its important policies and guidelines. A simple communication with me would have accomplished the same, and wasted less time of all parties involved. Moreover, with a view toward fairness and justice, and a better encyclopedia, it would've allowed us to move toward understanding and a better encyclopedia, rather than shutting down communication and leaving the violation-ridden article in place, as it stood before all this began.
So, I'd ask you to look in, or have another fairminded editor (or editors) look in, and decide if the original edit was reversion-worthy—as opposed to being a bold edit that we all, IP-editors included, have always been encouraged to make (even if it needed to be modified by a further build edit!).
Then, second, I'd ask the same attention to the decision to block—was that single reversion (which I've admitted to having been a mistake) sufficient to issue such a block? Along with that, was the reason for the block that was given, in is very abbreviated form (no reference to WP policies or guidelines), and pointedness (to the point if being uncivil) — is this in keeping with current expectations of WP administrative action?
Third and finally, I'd ask what expectations one questioning a block might have. Perhaps by this time, the challenge to the block that I wrote has led to a reply. But after several days (and because work put me on the road again), I have seen no response to the appeal, and so lost hope of an easy, fair review of this matter.
And in this last paragraph, we arrive at what I think was the only real (and unfortunate) outcome of the tool-driven reversion of the source-checking and policy-noting original edit: that an article was returned to its clearly problematic, policy-violating state without any hint of the issues, and that this editor, dedicated to WP and its ideals, policies and guidelines (if not it's oversight apparatus and practices), is all the further disallusioned.
So, I request you have a look at the following links, which are presented in rough order of the interactions related to this question.

Hi
Seems my user page was put up for speedy deletion at 8:37 on sunday(by Minorax) then deleted 8:42(by yourself), under use of web hosting. The deletion notice on my talk says to contact the deleting admin, not the proposing admin, so I've come here to figure out what's up. I certainly didn't intend to be using wikipedia as a host.
Seemingly I messed something up with the content- I tried to put a breif introduction so people would know who was editing and what my focuses were, but i've no interest in a random out of context bio and I've not pointed to the page from anywhere else. While my own web hosting is(ironically) undergoing downtime right now, I've got access to web hosting and domains if I want to use them.
Can you advise on creating a talk page with a similar spirit which doesn't come across as using it for web hosting? Adacable ( talk) 08:35, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Liz. I hope you're doing well. I just have this small issue here with an editor who seems that they aren't aware of their actions which is disruption of WP:CIV.
The user Krimuk2.0 ( talk · contribs) had reverted my edits on the Tara Sutaria page. The edit summary stated words like "reductant crap" referring to my edits. I took this matter to their talk page. And instead of coming to a consensus, I get replied by a warn which makes no sense. And added to this, they deleted the message on their talk page.
I'm surprised that this editor has various permissions as well. I hope you'll look into this and just guide me. If I'm mistaken anywhere do let me know, because it seems the other editor is least bothered to do this.
Thanks Rejoy2003 12:50, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply, Liz. I'm glad I got a third opinion in this. But regarding warning me, doesn't it seems that they kind of misused their power?
I mean to be honest, I have applied almost 4-5 times for permissions on Wikipedia which I've been declined and such petty warns over small issues, I personally feel was uncalled for. And which will in return not so help me while asking for certain permissions. Do let me know what you think

Hi Liz,
Please reconsider your close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Weaver Junction. While numerically the keep votes are in the majority, they without fail are all either drive-by votes with no real rationale, or are seriously flawed with respect to policy. I did a thorough analysis of the article and sources, showing why the article did not meet GNG, and no editors were able to refute my analysis. I realize I'm borderline asking you to supervote here, but I quite simply cannot see valid rationale for keeping this article when no examples of significant coverage can be found. I've tried to find some, but was unsuccessful. I queried multiple keep voters about what they thought was significant coverage, and all either ignored my question or responded with vague claims that "we've kept stuff that was pieced together from a bunch of trivial mentions before". I believe a keep close is inconsistent with the strength of the arguments presented in the AfD, and you should reconsider.
On a wholly unrelated note, I've noticed you're a lot more active in closing AfDs in general, and I do appreciate you helping keep this area of the project running smoothly. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 13:07, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
You might notice that I reverted a bunch of your edits, but not because there was anything wrong with them; that was just the most efficient way to restore a large number of links to a re-stubbed article that was previously deleted as a copyvio. I would note, however, that since the subject was clearly notable (a Louisiana Supreme Court Justice), per WP:REDBIO it also would have been permissible to leave the red links in place. Cheers!

Liz, @User:Drmies restricts Talk at that page to registered users, apparently, so I cannot go direct with this request. Could you request there that the article glucuronic acid be examined, and that whatever is believed to be the minimally necessary WP:VERIFY reader warnings for an article in its state, that those be placed, so I can see? (You are welcome to express your view via an edit as well, but I really do not wish to make substantial extra work for you.) The first citation in the main body of that article does not appear until the second main section, and therein, the second subsection. Moreover, most of the rest of the second section is unsourced as well, and none of the unsourced content I've reviewed is sky-is-blue information.
Given the fact that edits at WP from IP addresses that warn readers we are violating our own rules about sourcing now risk reversion, at least, I would like to see a clear example of what WP Admins believe to be a sufficient addition of templates to an article in that state. I would add: it is likely, given the overall paucity of sourcing there, that the lead, while perhaps adequate in beginning to summarize the article — that it is nevertheless derived from content that is not based in any source appearing, and so likewise deserves an edit introducing that further warning. Cheers, thanks in advance for whatever you might choose to do. 2601:240:CD06:74E0:C9A9:6475:CF47:41A2 ( talk) 03:47, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Hiya. This is a new one to me, so wanted your advice on quite where it goes next. I nominated John Mateer for deletion as a fail of WP:GNG and the author clearly got into a state about that, posting walls of text in the AfD. You kindly suggested draftspace was their friend and I said I wouldn't object to you draftifying it (remember this one?) as there was no other vote on the AfD. The author then took it to draft themselves, changed the article title and slipped it right back into mainspace. So now we have John Mateer (filmmaker) in mainspace and a redlinked AfD that's not closed. I'm not sure the article is any more WP:GNG-worthy than it was before, but the modus operandi struck me as a tad, well, egregious? Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 08:06, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I've noticed you've moved the draft List of DC Extended Universe films ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) to mainspace. It seems to have been submitted to AfC but, while on a vacuum the article seems to stand on its own, it's actually an outdated WP:CONTENTFORK of the more comprehensive DC Extended Universe ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), made preemptively while there were discussions of splitting this original, larger article. I think that this recently moved article should be moved back to draftspace, until discussions resume and a consensus to split the original article is reached, after which the move to mainspace and the restructuring of the original article would be coordinated. — El Millo ( talk) 00:25, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Liz. I wish to inquire into your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lost Mysteries#Lost Mysteries. I'm a bit confused as to why you closed an AfD that had just been relisted, and should have been allowed to expire before closing the discussion. Also, WP:AFDFORMAT says that a vote does not constitute a discussion (2 + author, against 1). The two editors defending StarTrekker's article, offered very little justification in their vote, and you did not comment on the closing itself... but you did provide a recommendation (see below). Are you taking a neutral standpoint regarding the justifying citations being called into question? Was there an issue with the process?
The article could benefit from a lot more, but if noteworthy reliable sources are used to populate a § Reception, then I would agree that this would satisfy
WP:GNG. But in short, I don't believe this process was given its due fairness because of the early closure sans brief explanation for the keep decision.
Thank you for your understanding. —

Hi Liz, I tagged this draft for G5 deletion and you rightfully declined it because there had be edits by other users. I know better but my brain was was operating in a fog at the time.

Liz: There is, in the German encyclopedia, an article for a young vocal artist named Cat Burns. if you follow the wiki link just inserted, you'll see that it takes you to a single from this artist, rather than to an artist page per se (and so the links to the artist within that page are circular, returning one to the page for the single).
If you could create a workspace, with a link to it here, pasting in the content of the German article on this artist — I would enter that workspace, do the translation, check the sources, etc., making it ready for introduction as a new article. (I think her notability is clear, or I would not suggest this.)
I ask this collaborative venture because of my experience in seeing major, bold efforts from this IP being reversed without due consideration or discussion. That is, I'm willing to put in hours of work on major edits, but not alone, given the history of such work resulting in reversion and blocks.
Thanks in advance, if you can create that workspace and link to it here. If your time does not permit this, I would understand, and the English encyclopedia will have to do without an article on this English language artist, for the present.
Finally, in tracing you in anticipation of leaving this message — I'm on the road, traveling — I came across a mention of a diagnosis. I am both sad to have seen that, but very happy to see you here, and will remember you and yours in our prayers as we remember you, and think of this past, and possibly ongoing challenge.

Hello Liz. Since the article creator and nearly all of the "keep"s at WP:Articles for deletion/Caylee Cowan(actress) are now blocked in WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Elbatli, is there some way to review the outcome of the AFD discussion? Or would I need to start another AFD? The most recent new SPA contributor to the article also has several similarities to the Elbatli accounts. Thanks, Storchy ( talk) 00:52, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz,
Thanks for your message re the above. Having now reviewed the facts it appears, to my mortification, that you are correct. The deletions were in fact slightly ahead of the 7 day deadline, albeit by around 40 minutes or so. I have no real excuse for this, other than I'd had a long and quite stressful day. Not really good enough though, and I'll try to take more care in future, so thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I think the likelihood of a last minute "rescue" for these articles was quite slim and I do try to check links before deletion and try to deal with those "of consequence" such as Wiki Projects or other articles etc. My apologies if I failed in this instance. I was originally an opposer of the PROD procedure but, given the appalling standard of some material that creeps into mainspace, I now support it. Thanks again for the notification.
Best wishes, - Cactus.man ✍ 14:12, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello Liz,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
Random act of kindness from someone who's been through stuff.

I think that the lesson learned is that New Page reviewers should be reminded to check the history of a page before draftifying it. Some reviewers always do this, some usually do this (including myself), and some don't seem to care about details like page history. Robert McClenon ( talk) 05:51, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
I moved it to draft because whilst it charted there was no other supporting references, apart from Discogs (an unreliable source) - felt that it still needed work. I'm not certain what happened with the re-creation of the article in mainspace - clearly that wasn't my intention. Apologies if it cause extra work trying to merge the two histories. I still feel that it needs extra supporting references but the fact it charted in both the Netherlands and Belgium just gets it across the line. Dan arndt ( talk) 08:04, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz!
I see you've deleted Category:Apple Inc. articles needing attention only to referencing and citation. It's one of the cleanup categories we use at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Apple_Inc., and shouldn't be deleted even if empty; it's also used in the WikiProject template. I don't believe we had a disclaimer at the top of the page saying not to delete even if empty, so I'll go ahead and add it to our other categories. Could you undelete this one?

Good day Liz, I hope you good in health?. It looks like you a citizen of the United States. I would like to ask about the article New York Weekly. Is the New York weekly still a newspaper? Because the article said it was a story newspaper and never said what it was now. I hope you understand my point. Gabriel (talk to me ) 22:58, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
NumFOCUS, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). Right now there is no in-depth coverage of this group from reliable, independent sourcs. I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello Liz, I Am Ayman from Iraq, I Would like to discuss the deletion of the Battle of Kut, the Battle of Kut was indeed somewhat misworded and maybe even under-sources, but it did happen, and you can even check the Arabic article to confirm so, which gives you 10 sources! During the Mahdist Revolution against American Occupation by Sayyid Al Qa'id Muqtada Al Sadr Many cities went into complete revolution, some harder then others, Al-Kut's Coalition headquarters was besieged and bombarded with Mortars by the Mahdi army, Ukrainian-American Joint Occupation of the City was ended soon after as Coalition forces ran out of ammo and had to retreat from the city, American forces would then launch harsh bombardment campaigns on the city which inflicted more casualties on Civilians then it did on Insurgents, the Killing of several schoolgirls in a bus the Coalition forces thought was an insurgent bus also occured, the mentioning of these events is important as to not underplay the suffering of the People of Kut under Coalition forces, and I Hope you understand that.
Sources: (Copied from the Arabic Article) [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] You can try to translate them, if the links dont work for you let me know

Hello,
Liz! I've noticed that you moved Charter 91 to draft. It was previously deleted as a copyvio, see
here, and is IMHO blatantly promotional, Charter 91 is not a partisan endeavour comprised of members. Affixing one’s signature is the sole condition for acceptance of its guiding principles. This Charter is neither a pretext for establishing government, nor subscribes to a particular political orientation. We the undersigned do believe, however, that politics and the State should solely be concerned with earthly matters, and recognize that the latter must be subject to the will of the public. Raising awareness of the principles underpinning this Charter may only be achieved with the participatory support of the people of Iran. As such, it is incumbent upon us to pursue transparent objectives and to strive to assist individuals and civic activists concerned with advancing principles and norms referred to herein.
Per
WP:DRAFT (correct me if I'm wrong), a topic moved to draft should have some potential merit. I'm afraid I have to disagree that a G11-eligible article would have some potential. IMHO it's probably not eligible for A7 given that it has one ref. If you could elaborate that would be great, many thanks for your time and help again!

Hi Liz,
I saw you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Route 902, Victorian Bus Route as a redirect. The page author appears to have done a cut and paste move to 902 (PTV Bus) which has identical text to the article that was redirected. I'm not sure the procedure here - I was going to tag it for CSD G4 and then realized a redirect is technically not the same as a deletion. This seems to be the page creator trying to evade the AfD process. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 13:23, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Dear Liz,
With respect to your close of WP: Articles for deletion/Patrick Wilson (New Zealand actor), I believe you may have cast a supervote. There were five votes to Keep the article and two to Delete it. Yet you closed the AfD with a Delete. You had previously relisted the AfD when there was already a clear consensus to Keep the article, and noted your concerns with regard to WP:SIGCOV. And when you closed the article as a “Delete”, you argued that there was no WP:SIGCOV, which suggests that your own personal view that the notability standards weren’t met took precedence over the consensus, which was that such standards were met. I kindly ask you to consider re-opening the AfD and allowing another editor to determine the consensus. Thanks,
