Hi Liz, could you restore Jason Perlow to draft? The article was recently deleted but I think there is enough sourcing out there to demonstrate GNG is met. Thank you, Thriley ( talk) 00:47, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz. This newly created article is a copyvio cut and paste from a blog site. Twinkle won’t let me tag it for G12 as the source site is on the spam blacklist and it blocks the link, so it may need an admin’s attention. Thanks Mccapra ( talk) 05:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz. You recently closed the AFD discussion for John Dunlop (chess player) one day after it was relisted to generate a more thorough discussion. I would suggest that 24 hours is not long enough to generate a more thorough discussion, and would ask that you reconsider the closure. I have located contemporary sources that would allow an expansion of the article, e.g. this item from the New Zealand Herald of 6 January 1921. Paora ( talk) 00:27, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello,
I noticed that you left a npov template on Gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department without any explanation, even though one is recommended per the templates page.

Dear Liz,
I hope this message finds you well. I recently learned that the Wikipedia page detailing my acting career (Adam Jamal Craig) was deleted under the belief that my contributions are insignificant. This decision also led to the removal of my name from my college's list of notable alumni and omitted references to my involvement in culturally significant works, including television series such as 'The Office' and 'NCIS: LA', among others.
As an actor and business owner actively working and living in Los Angeles, I respectfully request a reconsideration of these changes. The landscape of art and media is evolving, and my contributions, albeit not always captured through traditional formats, are part of this continuous change. Please, I ask for your support in undoing the deletions, allowing my career's ongoing story and contributions to be recognized and shared. Thank you for considering my request, and I look forward to any possibility of dialogue on this matter.
I am new to communicating in this wiki-based format so please forgive me if I have responded in some improper way. Edit -> Not sure how the "Books & Bytes" section appeared above. Again, sorry. I'm new at this.
Warm regards,
Adam Jamal Craig

Hi - I hope you don't mind my contacting you; I'm doing so simply becaause you came up top on the 'recently active admins' list. There's an article Pumi dog that is blanked out because of an alleged copyvio, which concerns a single sentence where the wording followed that of the American Kennel Club breed standard. Unfortunately the reporting editor has placed the flag at the top of the article, rather than in the relevant section, thus removing the entire article from view. I've followed procedure and posted an amended version of the article, which deals with the matter, at Talk:Pumi dog/Temp, and I hope it's just a question of an admin copying this back to the main page and removing the flag? But this has been pending now for five days, and with the world's biggest dog show starting tomorrow, this is a period when dog breed pages always get more views. Could you or one of your colleagues kindly drop by here and take a look, please? Thanks in anticipation.... MapReader ( talk) 08:05, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Dear Liz, I have noticed you do consistently wonderful work on categories, but you have just rolled back my edit at VB-4 and I wonder if there may be some mistake. If you review Chapter 1 at the linked page - https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/naval-aviation-history/dictionary-of-american-naval-aviation-squadrons-volume-1.html, you will find that at the height of the Pacific War in World War II, U.S. Navy aircraft carriers were operating a number of Bombing Squadrons, the most famous being the ones that fought at Midway and Coral Sea. All of these squadrons were redesignated several times over, and many now have articles within Category:Strike fighter squadrons of the United States Navy under their later VFA designations. But to link them properly when they fought the Japanese, a new category will be necessary - this category which I have created. I believe it will easily surpass 20 entries.

Hello Liz
This is in regard to the page deletion for the danish music group Badun, which I would like to dispute.
Badun is most certainly a very notable danish music group. They have existed for 20+ years and released 10+ albums, which are available in both physical and digital format:
https://www.discogs.com/artist/247091-Badun
They have been well covered and reviewed in the media and played several hundred concerts around the world, and they have collaborated with and inspired many artists.
A quick search on google for 'Badun' yields a first page almost exclusively with results about the band, which should validate its existence and wide notoriety:

Hello Liz, hopefully you are doing good. Although, usually questions are asked on the Teahouse, however, since you are familiar with the case, I thought I should ask you. Hopefully you won't mind.
This was my first time, as you might have noticed, so initially I was just going around. I saw the edit history of the User:Fhektii, I saw the deletion discussions, for crafting my own comment. In the process what I discovered was that there were few very old accounts that were commenting for deletion, however, to the best of my knowledge, it seemed that they were ignoring WP:GNG and WP:GNP. I don't want to assume anything bad about any one, maybe I have missed something or misunderstood, if you could find the time and look into it. I will be truly grateful. Thank you.

Hallo Liz, thanks for closing the AfD, but why "Merge", rather than "Redirect"? There is no content not included in Lowick, Cumbria other than the coordinates and an image. Pam D 06:32, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz, Thankyou for closing the AfD on this and reverting the article per AfD.
However, I believe the AfD called for more than a simple content reversion within the page. The article was renamed by User:Tedgrant1917 ([ [1]]), and the article requires moving back to the title Socialist Appeal (Britain), since the article is about Socialist Appeal. Unfortunately because it is still at the title Revolutionary Communist Party (UK, 2024), editors have continued attempting to rewrite the article about RCP, which is non-notable (and doesn't even exist at this point). I am unable to complete this move as Socialist Appeal (Britain) has multiple revisions and therefore a normal editor cannot complete the move.
I may have caused confusion here by stating "Keep, Sort of" in that I was advocating to keep the edit history, more than the title. The content needed reverting, but so did the title.
Per the AfD, would you be able to :
In either case, it's clearly inappropriate for the article about Socialist Appeal to be under the title RCP, and people will continue to try and replace the logo and change the article contents if it's under that title. TedGrant has caused a right cluster-fudge by usurping/rebranding the original article instead of just creating a new one (which would have failed NPP).

I want to request a review on article on Artist Volvexzshawa the reason for it's deletion was because it lacked enough reference and required more time to be updated with reliable sources of reverence and with my research I do believe the artist is a Notable person and a pioneer in the Kenyan Hiphop Music cited sources across Nigeria National Newspapers and Kenya National Newspapers and Television notability Teresia Akinyi Achilo ( talk) 15:45, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I just noticed and was quite surprised that the article mentioned in the title got deleted. I used that page multiple times in the past as reference, and I was not the only one. I personally do not agree with the deletion, and I'd like to elaborate why that is.
The most often mentioned reason in the discussion is WP:NOTCATALOG. I have looked into said ruleset. It is not a simple listing because it explains what the different numbers in the model number mean, and shows a comparison between model years of different series of models. They are not loosely associated, what is listed is exactly defined in the title. The points 3. through 6. are pretty obviously not involved with this.
It's also not a "brochure-style advertisement", listing of (industry standard) specifications is not an advertisement and the text sections are written as neutral as possible.
"Largely unreferenced, and most of the references provided are primary sources from Dell's support site." I don't see how it would have to be done differently for a page that contains lists of technical products. It's like that for other list pages for technical devices as well. Also, there's pretty much no better source for the specifications of a product than its manufacturer, because if they lied, they'd be liable.
As for the notability of said products, Dell has consistently been the largest manufacturer of monitors for the past decade. Coming back to the example of Samsung, it would be like claiming a list of Samsung Galaxy devices is not notable despite them being the largest manufacturer of smartphones for years. And that's also why there are lists for the Galaxy Z, S, A, M, F, XCover, Note, J and Y series.
I'm not in favor of keeping pages just for the sake of it. This page has been legitimately useful for people, including me and those mentioned, and I don't think it's only the three of us using this page for a reference, especially because it goes back so far, which is information hard to come by nowadays.

Hi Liz, you've a couple of times (most recently just now, at Draft:Ricky Guillart) declined my G4 request on the basis that G4 doesn't apply in the draft space. Could you please point me to where it says that, so I can understand the rules better? Looking at WP:G4, my reading is that this is true only when the content has been draftified, whereas eg. the Ricky Guillart draft was created in draft space from the outset.

Hello, my name is Evgeny Galitskiy, I am writing to you on behalf of my close friend and a Russian oppositional politician Elvira Vikhareva whose page was removed and put in drafts.
This was done after a message from a user Anatoliy Rosdashin (Анатолий Росдашин) whom neither Elvira, nor I don't know. In the piece of code that Rosdashin submitted, he added to Evira's name a derogatory word "bobroedka" (literally translates from Russian as "beaver eater" and is often used when referred to a different person, a Russian propaganda journalist Margarita Simonyan).
Also, Rosdashin mentioned that Elvira is a "too small and insignificant politician according to WP:POLITICS". This is not true, because Elvira is a well-known oppositional political figure and political journalist based in Moscow, Russia. She ran for a member of the Moscow Municipal Board in 2021, runs her popular YouTube channel where she interviews important russian politicians, journalists and political scientists.
In 2022 Elvira was unjustly deemed a Foreign Agent by the Russian government. Besides that, she has been many times persecuted by the Russian authorities for her political views, physically attacked by people affiliated with the Russian government and poisoned with a neural agent.
All of this shows that Elvira Vikhareva is an important person in russian political life and her Wikipedia page deserves to be restored.
Elvira asked me to write this message to you, because she fears that her account will be deleted from Wikipedia if she does it herself.
Please restore her Wikipedia page.
Thank you. Gha665 ( talk) 19:42, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I can see you are very busy so I hesitated to say something. I saw you involved in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Lozupone, and I am unsure how to deal with an editor who I believe is not paying attention to policy and I know another admin here [2] also told them to pay more attention when reverting changes, and you advised the user on their talk page too about closing AFDs, so I wanted to get input. I have been trying to improve the article at AFD, and the user removed some sources, some were not great sources, but also put a lot of citation needed in the first paragraph even though the second paragraph and further provide sources that show these things to be the case.
According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section it is common to not need citations in the lead section. I saw that for clarity many pages had stuff in the first section that was backed by citations in the later body, I tried to do that but maybe I did not know the correct procedure. This user also removed some titles from citations for no reason I see, and changed some text to be say something other than what the citation says. Because I created the article even though I was not the only editor, I have been told I can not be that involved so I want another opinion especially an admin who is involved with this AFD. I do not want to edit war over this but the user left a weird message about neutral point of view on my talk page and honestly I am getting frustrated at this whole thing and do not want to act out. Thank you very much if you can offer advice. I would understand if you can not or if I did something off, but I would like to improve the article more maybe but this makes it more difficult. I will see your reply if you reply here. ThreeBootsInABucket ( talk) 04:24, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

You concluded Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991) by deleting the article per the apparent consensus, which was part of the series Timeline of United States inventions. This leaves a bizarre gap, e.g. Timeline of United States inventions (1890–1945) and Timeline of United States inventions (after 1991) both still exist. I was led here by comparison with List of Japanese inventions and discoveries, which also continues to exist. The consensus on the AfD seems mixed, with some suggestions that the content was just badly organized.
It seems to me the correct course of action is instead to clean up the original article. This middle ground, where a large chunk of a timeline is simply missing, is quite glaring. Would this be possible, and what might it entail? Jemidiah ( talk) 21:11, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

I have a slight apology to offer for accidentally creating a talk page with a longer name than its article page, which was therefore an orphaned talk page. I was trying to create a subpage of a talk page, containing a draft RFC, and I left the slash character out, so it was an orphaned page rather than a legal subpage. There is no way that a reasonable admin could have guessed what I was trying to do (and following the rules is a reasonable course of action). So I think I am doing it correctly this time.

I am the author of one of the petitions on the Egov.Press website. It turns out that the Wikipedia article was deleted back in February. I ask you to consider the sources that provide evidence of the significance of the project. In my opinion, this is the same site as Avaaz, Change.org, which do not require proof of significance in a particular country.

Hello - I noticed in your edit summary at a user page you described one of the tags as an overreaction. This is what the page looked like at the time of nomination. Didn't realize they'd edited out the article after responding to them at my talk page. That's my bad for not removing it in a timely manner.
Though I do have a few questions coming from this - do admins reviewing the CSD category not look into the page history when reviewing, and is the onus on the nominator to remove the tag once it no longer meets the criteria? I know I've had a handful of issues with my CSD tags before, and I'd like to knock those issues out before I keep going and reviewing new user pages. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for protecting the Liverpolitan identity page. I have taken on board your comment. Would it be possible for to move it to Liverpolitan as the system is having problems auto finding sources for – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR. The original title (Liverpolitan identity) of the page also caused friction amongst one of the users and was changed to Liverpolitan to please them and to diffuse the discussion. Many thanks.

Hello Liz,
I noticed that my article on Payaza Africa Limited was removed. As this is my first attempt at writing here, I'm finding it challenging to grasp the policies and identify where I went wrong. I also received a notification suggesting I contact you before making any revisions to the article. I appreciate your guidance in advance. @ Liz Sholaasiru ( talk) 11:45, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey I just now noticed you closed this AfD.
While it seems that notability is not an issue, the article still has literally zero independent references. Isn't that a reason for deletion? How can the page be allowed to remain as it is? Note that the article is also largely the work of a blatant COI editor who has since been banned. [3]
Should probably be deleted per WP:TNT, no?

Hi, Liz. Despite creating close to 200 pages and being an AfC reviewer myself, I sent this to AfC because I was on the fence about notability at first. After submitting, there was another in-depth reference that came out and I added but instead of moving I left it there anyway. It was declined by a reviewer (and not casting aspersions) who has very little experience in article creation or AfC. I brought the subject up with them on my talk page. They initially left a response that didn't make sense to me and have failed to respond in about two weeks on my request for clarification. I would prefer to move the draft so that the history is attached as opposed to copy and paste. Of course, it is always subject to AfD if anyone feels otherwise but I think the edit history is important. If you can remove the redirect I would appreciate it. And to be fair, the reviewer declined another submission I had which I am completely fine with as I am still on the fence about that one. CNMall41 ( talk) 03:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

At the time I re-created the page, the page Fly Dhaka Airlines was listed as being established in 2024. And no, it was not me or a sock-puppet that added the category to the page. It seems that somebody (else) has now removed the category from Fly Dhaka Airlines leaving it empty again. My inclination is to keep the 2024 establishment page category - regardless of what happend to Fly Dhaka Airlines, on the basis that 1 or more airlines that begin to run as a business in 2024 will likely gets their own wikipedia page(s) some time in the next 9 months - see the category /info/en/?search=Category:Airlines_by_year_of_establishment with entries every year for the last 100+ years to see what I mean.

Hi Liz, your Wikipedia editors block someone for contributing edits to suspected sockpuppet articles and participating in AFD discussions but they let an editor who behaves like this [5], calling other people idiot which is prohibited by rules and utter the racist sentence "Die, irrelevant Indonesian people articles" in here [6]. He even put speedy deletion tags on several articles without understanding terms like here [7], here [8], here [9], [10], and here [11], here [12], and there is no indication that he did WP:BEFORE before installing the tag. He even nominated several articles for WP:GNG reason even though they have been cited from various books and news, and as i mentioned earlier there is no indication that he did WP:BEFORE before doing this, like in [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], and [18]. Im sure that he doesn't even understand the content of the article which he nominated for deletion. Whatever it takes on this so called encyclopedia, i just wanted you to investigating this.

Hey Liz!
Hoping you can help on providing me the contents of the Ceres, Washington page that was deleted - log here [19] - that came from a new clean-up initiative, Wikipedia:WikiProject_Washington/GNIS_cleanup/State
Are you able (and willing!) to shift the page to a User Draft article under my name, or send me a link to the article's history page so I can rewrite the page? I haven't been able to find the old article's contents anywhere - it's like it never existed...but I admit I can't figure out the logs/search/deleted page stuff to save my soul.
Not asking to reinstate as of now - I've been compiling sources for Ceres for a couple years as I come across it but I don't have immediate time to direct attention to it fully. But over some weeks I can get around to it.
Thanks if you can, tears if you can't. Always impressed by your efforts here and hope you're doing well!

Hello Liz,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi Liz, noticed your note on Ivanvector's talk page. Swapd came up on my radar not that long ago trying to research sources to determine reliability and kept coming across ads there for paid articles in certain publications (ex. [21]). I then started looking at Wikipedia services. They banned offering Wikipedia services back in 2020 [22] but in August last year started allowing it again on a trial basis [23]. Google search "Swapd" "Wikipedia" and you'll see all kinds of stuff. See also these YouTube videos from a SEO expert: [24] and [25] which he references in the other one. I've debated about posting something about it at AN but need to do some more research. They do appear to be legit as far as they monitor/oversee activity to ensure transparency, prevent scamming, etc. S0091 ( talk) 17:05, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
I noticed that your closure says that " editors arguing for Deletion have rejected the sources brought forward by those editors advocating Keep as being ROUTINE coverage". I have a major issue with this. The definition and examples for ROUTINE don't cover transactions. The examples are about box scores and match reports being used in articles about specific matches. You can't say that there's no leeway because of the recent RFC (unless there's another RFC I'm not aware of since NSPORTS) - it's not applicable (and besides - it never was a rule). Also, I brought forward an secondary source, and User:Mach61 claimed it was primary, and making false claims it was primary, and refused to explain why they thought it was primary, other than "I explained why I thought those sources were primary", despite never having discussed the source! When I pointed out the independence of the source, they simply refused to discuss it, and made another mistruth that "Most every source you've brought so far is primary"! When I pointed out that I'd only brought forward a single source (and that they was being uncivil) they simply said that they didn't have to explain. Surely, if nothing else, Mach61's vote needs to be discounted, given their propensity to just make stuff up. Thanks for the detailed, clear, closing statement - even if I disagree with it!

I'm not sure how to appeal a Draft decision. Also, I'm not sure the expected responsiveness I should get from an admin; I've requested that the decision be moved to a higher authority but no reply. It does not seem that the guidelines in WP:ADMINCOND and WP:DRAFTNOTIFY are being followed.
A long time ago I was assigned autopatrol privileges to prevent this type of unnecessary overhead when editing pages. I don't think I've abused this privilege. It makes creating pages much more frustrating when pages get drafted.

Hi! Re: your query. Yes the G4 was a mistake but the G11 wasn't. Don't worry, I won't re-tag. If they don't make a real attempt, I'll take it to MfD.

Hello Liz. I wanna say thanks for contributing one of my files. I know, it's just a little edit (human review and stuff, I know that lol.), but... that means a lot.
Now, since today is my retirement day from Wikipedia, I think I might not come back and edit no more.
If you want to ask why and stuff, just reply to me. Tell @ Minorax that I say hi. Cya, Liz!

What's the thinking with keeping Category:Schumacher Racing Products? Both pages in it currently are the same article, and I don't see there being scope for aditional articles in that category. -- D'n'B- t -- 19:44, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Kia ora Liz. I see that you moved my article on Joce Nuttall to Jocelyn Nuttall, because "This is the name the subject is referred to in the article body". My understanding is that it is common practice to put someone's full name if known at the start of their article, but that doesn't mean it is the name they are commonly known by, and articles should be under the name someone is generally known by. Jocelyn Grace Nuttall is the subject's full name but she is known as Joce Nuttall in almost all the sources I have seen. Would you please undo the redirect? I have been told previously that if a nickname is a common or obvious one not bother adding "known as" but if it would help we could have "Jocelyn Grace Nuttall known as Joce"?

It is considered a high point when a javanese official or politician speaks for an hour and nothing is really said....My comment at bumi yana (?) was that such a person can be a link in a chain, metaphorically speaking, and yes at face value of the article per se - the deletionists have their point and it should go - but in understanding the cultural and real life connections, a number of non notable things and people can combine to effect things of a larger dimension, and the capacity of an editor to navigate people and things between what might be considered at first view not connected, but then are... The editors quoting rules and things are in the right space in one sense, but then the larger picture can complicate the issue. JarrahTree 09:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Category:Iraqi people of Israeli descent indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. ✗ plicit 14:49, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz, I think R3 does apply. R3 states: This criterion does not apply to redirects created as a result of a
page move, unless the moved page was also recently created
(italics added and footnote omitted). Here, the moved page,

Hello Liz, the CitrusAd page was deleted because of "abandonment" and it sounds like it was in a "draft stage" prior to deletion, could you undo this in order for me to make any necessary edits? I apologize in advance for being new here, but learned about the page status in the teahouse- I am hoping there is a way to get a copy of what was here and and advice on anything that needs to be fixed and addressed prior to republishing. Kind regards, TLN27 TLN27 ( talk) 17:19, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Liz, thanks for taking a look at my speedy deletion request at Beloit and Madison Railroad. I agree with you that it was just created and when I saw the article I also thought to let the author work; however, what led me to speedy deletion was the discovery of Draft:Beloit and Madison Railroad, which is an identical article created by the same user through the AFC process where it was rejected back in January with no further edits. The article creator appears to have ignored advice from the AFC reviewer and simply recreated their own article in mainspace with no interest in improving it.
I probably should have noted this in the AFC process. Dan • ✉ 06:37, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

We have also grown and added financial planning to the BI platform. We would love to be reinstated to Wikipedia. Can you please give us some advice on what's the best approach?

First off, I am not a new editor. I have been a prolific Wikipedia editor since 2005. I added an IMDb link to the Mawqef Micro page and updated its information to reflect the fact that the second season aired in 2016, as confirmed by the show's official YouTube page. I really don't see why you reverted that. I mean, I hadn't noticed that Category:2016 Syrian television series endings didn't exist, but there was really no need to remove the IMDb link and the brief sentence about the show's second season.-- LadybugStardust ( talk) 01:55, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, the page quantum economics was proposed for deletion on April 9 and then a decision was made to merge with econophysics on April 16. The reason proposed for deletion was that this is a fringe subject, however as I noted on April 15, the subject has its own journal with a top academic publisher ( Sage Publishing). It seems that the editors were unaware of this, but there was no response or discussion, and instead a decision to merge with econophysics was made. This choice appears to be due to a single article an editor found on "quantum econophysics". However the field is not normally considered a branch of econophysics, and the expression "quantum econophysics" is unusual especially in more recent works. So it seems the proposal to delete or merge the article was not based on good information, and the decision was rushed through without a balanced discussion. Can you please revisit the decision to merge? I have added some references to the page which include established journals and secondary sources. Also if a merger is to be made, it would seem more logical to merge quantum finance (which has its own page) with quantum economics, since the latter has many applications in finance but is more general.

Hello, I have noticed that you have reverted by edits on blocked socks of User:JayCubby. However, I believe that those edits would be overall beneficial to the project, despite rules saying otherwise. It would save time for other editors looking for a reason to why they were blocked, and it is not misleading or untruthful in anyway. I have done this on several occasions, and have not been told this until now. I hope you consider my argument and thank you! 2003 LN 6 06:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi! Sorry if my CSD tags were a bit confusing, as for some reason we can't use subcriteria when adding several criteria at once. I intended to delete it under the other G3 (hoax, rather than vandalism). The creation of these nonexistent Windows 8.x pages (in reality, versions stopped at 8.1) is typical of User talk:13.234.2FortytwoUser, who, on top of the obvious username similarities, has been recently active and socking. See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 April 5#Draft:Windows 8.4 for an example of a redirect of them that was speedy deleted. Chaotıċ Enby ( talk · contribs) 08:23, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Liz! A few days ago you reverted my edits ( 1, 2) at Q-Be with the reason Reverting edits. Don't change an article to a redirect and then nominate it for AFD. It's a redirect now, not an article. I've read up a bit more on various guidelines and I understand your reasoning, so thank you for reverting – I agree I shouldn't have nominated the redirect for deletion.
However, you said "It's a redirect now", but you reverted both of my edits, including the one that turned the page into a redirect. Was this intentional? My view is that the page should be a redirect to MobiBLU DAH-1500i because the Q-BE is just a rebranded version of the same product.
The reason I'm bringing this up here is because I was about to modify my AFD nomination to remove the note about the Q-BE article for the reason you gave in your edit, but I realised that Q-Be isn't even a redirect anymore: it's now just an article. If you did mean to remove the redirect then I think the article should be deleted per the reasoning in my nomination, but if you didn't mean to remove the redirect then I'll need to remove it from my nomination because, like you say, I shouldn't have nominated it after changing it to a redirect.
Hopefully I've phrased this right – I completely agree with your reasoning, but I am genuinely unsure about whether you meant to revert both edits as you acknowledged the page's new status as a redirect in your edit summary.
Thanks. AlexGallon ( talk) 20:13, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

As everyone (including the nom) is in agreement, wouldn't it make the most sense to close the discussion as keep instead of relisting (though if you really wanted to, you could IAR and place an {{ Afd-merge to}} template on Mastering (audio) to spare the effort of opening a talk page discussion, though I understand if that is undesireable)?

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

Hello, Liz. Apologies if this is the wrong place to inquire, but I have some questions about legitimate uses of alternative accounts on Wikipedia before I do anything further. Outside of Wikipedia I am doing volunteer work with secondary school students (but am not employed by any educational institution) and I would like to use an alternative account to teach my students how to edit on Wikipedia. In the process I hope to assist them in creating their own articles. I have created an alternative account, Mr. J. F. Lee for this particular endeavor and to maintain my privacy in real life. I have, however, not done anything on that account beyond making my user page declaring my link to my main account (this account). I am aware of WP:COI.
So, a couple questions:
Other questions will surely arise from me, but they escape my mind at the moment. I am trying to make sure I have a proper understanding of these guidelines and that I receive a green-light from an administrator before I open pandora's box. Thank you for your time, and have a great rest of your weekend. Yue 🌙 21:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz, it's a hoax as there is zero evidence that the characters are named "Chuck Pratt" [26] or "Red Jack Bird" [27]. Having one of them wrong might have been some typo, but having both wrong? That's just making things up, i.e. a hoax. Fram ( talk) 08:47, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz. Yeah, it's me. Have you used the "Move" special page recently? Maybe admins have a different interface? Anyway, "Move to mainspace" is one of the options that appear in the Reason dropdown. If that lingo is no longer in fashion, presumably there's a way to edit it somehow?

The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.
If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.
Growth features are currently configurable at Special:EditGrowthConfig
. This quarter we are working on making
Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.
An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.
In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.
Add a Image experiment analysis results
The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “ Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:
Personalized praise experiment results
This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. ( T361763)
English donors encouraged to try editing
As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation ( example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. ( T352900)
Annual Plan
The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. ( T361657)
Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module
We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

I am surprised that an article which has been around for years about a denomination which has existed since 1965 and was founded under the direct influence of a relatively major figure in conservative Calvinistic theological circles, John Murray (theologian) can be deleted suddenly in a period of 7 days.
The denomination is listed as a member body of North American Presbyterian and Reformed Council on its Wikipedia page, a council which includes the second-largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States, the Presbyterian Church in America.
You may say that articles are not prepared professionally, but you have to remember that once upon a time Wikipedia advertised itself as "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit" - little did we know back then that this would become "anyone who knows how to jump through the hoops" that would later be enforced by people who by their own admission "delete many pages every day". I was once sickened when my detailed article on a late 19th/early 20th century Scottish Christian leader of very wide influence was deleted and replaced by a present day sporting figure who will no doubt be rapidly forgotten. I frankly don't understand what the motive is of people who delete any but the most frivolous articles. It's not as if extra articles are doing any harm - and just because they are about things or people way outside the knowledge of most, does not mean that they are not important in their context. For instance it has been suggested that the Presbyterian Reformed Church may be the only indigenous North American denomination which holds to the original 17th century Puritan Westminster Confession of Faith - most Presbyterian denominations hold to a modified American form instead, which is important in the context of the relationship between church and state, something in which American history differs somewhat from that of the countries from which its people largely originated, and which is a matter of live debate at the present day.

Hello - while I respect your judgment, but I believe this promotional BLP should have been soft deleted. Despite noting that the page was PROD'd, I highlighted that it was the creator of this BLP who made the PROD request. Even if we discount the votes from IPs (SPAs), the BLP still falls short of meeting the notability criteria, both WP:GNG and specifically WP:JOURNALIST. And additionally, though there's no concrete evidence of paid editing, Faizanalivarya's admission of editing BLPs on behalf of subjects suggest a potential COI scenario which also raises some concerns as well. sincerely — Saqib ( talk | contribs) 15:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

These need to be restored to article space where they were unilaterally and improperly moved by a user whose competence for moving pages you've already questioned on their talk pages. In short, they need to be restored to the status quo ante bellum, considering the "bellum" was a mess up by someone who didn't know what they were doing. Based on their move summary, it looks Like they wanted to do a wholesale replacement of the existing article text with a draft on their user space sandbox, without discussion, and are attempting to do that by improperly moving a main space article to draft space and then overwriting the deleted redirect.

Hello Liz. How are you doing.
I need you and some others to investigate on this wikipedian Saqib. He is constantly deleting my articles and he first adds nobility to it and the next he nominates it for delete. He previously also accused me of Sockpuppeter and also though I have connections with someone but I said that I don't have any connection. He is trying to make me block from wikipedia. I have started wikipedia in 2020 and this is my only account which I use till now. I am purely contributing to Pakistani Entertainment. I take sources from newspaper, books, magazine and interviews.
He thinks that my sources are not fine and keeps saying they are not significant but these sources are used in other Pakistani articles as well. I did a litte bit of my search on Saqib and I learned that he has previously did this thing also on other users as well such as deleting their works like of Faizan Munawar Varya whose articles he also deleted. I saw their converison Reporting User Saqib for Harrasing other Users on Administrators' noticeboard in April 21, 2024.
Please do some investigation on Saqib.
Thank you. Have a very wonderful day. (12:53, 1 May 2024 (UTC))

An article on Woodsey--a very obscure toy line produced by Fisher-Price at the turn of the 1980s--has sat idle in my article sandbox for a decade and a half. At this writing, the only coverage thereof is the barest of a one-line mention in the "Historic brands and products" section of its company's article.
Coming back to it this season as I clean out the sandbox one topic at a time (while transitioning to a brand-new
AFC queue), I've found
three--make that six--usable citations so far from the fishwrap morgue (via
WP:Library) that may be enough for a standalone page. An ambitious task given that most of the WP Library hits are advertisements; if you or I can find more coverage, then we'll remind you!
Like I said...very obscure.
It might as well be an understatement that this quoted excerpt from one of those tie-in books--Uncle Filbert Saves the Day, the one I've always remembered from my primary-school youth in the Commonwealth of Dominica--aptly serves as a metaphor for my efforts those past several days, and (on a wider scale) for those committed to upholding WP's RS/ notability expectations no matter the subject, vintage, demographic, or obscurity. (H/T Etsy product pics.)
"When will he [Filbert] settle down?" said Mama [Milkweed], shaking her head.
"Sometimes you have to run up many trees to find the right branch," said Papa, who often said things that took a while to understand.
Once this appeal gets the go-ahead, I'll put this straight in the mainspace--something I hardly ever do nowadays thanks to AFC.
Speaking of old-school cottagecore, I have a Bethany Roberts draft to revive soon enough--blame recent Miraheze duties for the oversight.
All the best...

No dice, and while I was pleased that User:DrPepperIsNotACola recreated it as a redirect, that user stated that they don't have the power to restore histories. Could you please restore the history, and if you feel the need to still wall it off from restoration, make it a protected redirect?

Hello, I was hesitant to make this comment because I don't want to sound obtrusive, but I notice that when you delink deleted articles on disambiguation pages, set index articles, etc., you often leave the entry there, such as in this edit. I feel like this goes against the spirit of MOS:DABNOLINK/ MOS:DABRED and similar navigational guidelines. Do you think you could take care to remove the entries completely on disambiguations, set indexes, see also sections and hatnotes when the article it's linking to has been deleted? (in the case of hatnotes, the hatnote should be removed completely if it contains only a redlink). Hopefully there's not a misunderstanding on my part. Thanks for all the work you do here!

I have read the rationale and disagree that it should have been deleted. Political candidates are subject to significant media interest and pressure.

Greetings. I am an administrator and bureaucrat on Wikimedia Commons. It was brought to my attention on a platform not Wiki that there is a problem with some edits on an article Donald_Young_(choir_director). As stated on that talk page, [28] I found some problems with some edits on that article and corrected as many as I could. I then went to the page of the editor responsible for the odd citations and found that you recently deleted a draft article on the apparently same topic. The diff is here [29]
I do not think that the changes that I undid are relevant to the Wiki project. They have been undone by others before. I wish I had more experience with en:Wiki - do you have an equivalent to "check user" to see if there are socks of this user? The person who brought this forward to me suggested that there may be other edits or other accounts involved.
In the interest of completeness, I looked at other contributions of this editor and found Benedict_Biscop of which the first four citations either do not mention, do not exist, 404 page not found. Later citations at least mention him, and one https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095458439 seems to be the source of much of the en:Wiki article including perhaps full phrases.
Please reply to me at my Wiki Commons talk page [30] which sends me notifications.
Thank you so much in advance for your time and attention to this matter.

Hi Liz. This G8 deletion of yours seems to have been erroneous.
G8 excludes "Redirects that were broken as a result of a page move or retargeting (these should instead be retargeted to their target's new name), except where
R2 speedy deletion would then immediately apply if they were fixed (e.g., redirects to articles that have been
draftified)

Hello Liz, I somehow missed the notifcation from March that an article I edited was proposed for deletion due to "Bandcamp artist spam". This page has since been deleted, titled " Wally Scharold". If I recall correctly, I updated a dead link on the page to that person's band, which is currently only linkable to their Bandcamp page as the official website of the band was no longer active. Had I been aware of the proposed deletion in time, I would have gladly removed the edit in question. If possible, I'd greatly appreciate it if this page could be restored. Thank you.

Could you look into Gregory J. Marchand and examine the circumstances of deletion? It might be possible to restore it to draftspace.
You're definitely right that the AFC process can be tedious and tiresome, we went through a lot of draft revisions to get through! But, as you can see from the logs I did indeed follow the AFC process all the way through. I did not take any shortcuts or post in mainspace without permission, and so CSD may have been mistakenly applied. I really appreciate your help with this. Also, if you have any suggestions to improve the page I will be happy to comply.

Since that DRV is now closed, I figured we'll continue this here. You said,
Owen×, I've observed that many NAC closures are early closures. AGF, I think they want to gain experience with closures but with a current shortage of closers, it's usually unnecessary to do closures early. I don't want to single out this closure as it's just a trend I've noticed this year. I've seen "SNOW" closes with only 3 or 4 discussion participants which is not how I interpret SNOW to work.
Personally, I'm not bothered by eager NACs jumping in to close an obvious Keep AfD a few hours before the seven days are up. If consensus to keep is obvious enough for a NAC, waiting the full week is an unnecessary technicality. What bothers me are closures that are completely inappropriate for a non-admin. Almost anything closed as No-consensus is a BADNAC, pretty much by definition. Marginal Keeps are also a problem. Yesterday I had to revert a NAC Keep closure based on a grand total of two Keep !votes, one of which was little more than an ILIKEIT. The closer was friendly and understanding, so this didn't end up with a wheel-war like with that other guy I took to DRV, and the harm was minimal, but these things happen all the time.
We need to find a way to encourage non-admins to get involved with closing AfD, without creating this mad race to the Close button I see as we approach the seven-day finish line. Currently, most of the obvious NAC-elegible AfDs are closed by you, by Star Mississippi and by Explicit. By the time I check the backlog, usually all that's left are the contentious, messy, often political ones that no one else wants to touch, and almost invariably end up in DRV. I try to tackle at least one of those whenever I see them. Would it make sense to deliberately leave more obvious Keep AfDs open for NAC closure? I know you hate seeing anything in the AfD backlog, but these are easy, straightforward cases, and no harm is done by having them open for eight days rather than seven. With more opportunities for NACs to hone their closing skills, maybe we'll get fewer of those forced-SNOW inappropriate closures. What do you think? Owen× ☎ 12:27, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz,
I am a student currently writing a paper on gender bias on wiki. I want to ask you a few questions regarding your experiences as a female editor on wiki. If you are not comfortable responding, then no worries about responding. Thanks!
These are the questions I would like to ask for my paper: 1. Have you ever experienced anything that you would classify as a result of gender bias on wiki? 2. How you heard of the "Women in Red" list on wiki> If so, have you tried writing a page for one of the women with a red link? What were your experiences like and what type of edits did you receive from other editors on wiki? 3. Why do you think gender bias exists on a platform such as wiki, or even in general? Is there anything you think that could be done to lessen this divide caused by gender?

Hey @ Liz,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for your invaluable contributions to improving Wikipedia content. Your dedication to maintaining accuracy and reliability within the platform is truly commendable. I am reaching out to discuss a matter regarding an article draft that was deleted last year under your supervision. The draft in question pertains to Sergey Smbatyan, and it was removed due to a lack of reliable sources at the time. Since then, I worked to gather sufficient and verifiable sources covering Sergey Smbatyan's accomplishments and contributions. I believe that now I have a robust set of references that meet Wikipedia's standards for reliability. Given your expertise in this area, I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the process of republishing the article. I want to ensure that I adhere to all Wikipedia guidelines and protocols to guarantee the article's compliance and accuracy. Your insights and direction on this matter would be immensely valuable to me, and I am eager to collaborate with you to bring this article back to the platform in a manner that upholds Wikipedia's integrity. Thank you once again for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Warm regards Grigor Khachatrian ( talk) 08:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Dear @ Liz,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request permission to recreate the draft for the article on RG Qluck Wise, a Ghanaian record producer, author, and graphic designer.
I understand that previous attempts to create this article were met with deletion due to various reasons, including concerns about notability and promotional language. I have carefully reviewed the deletion log and taken steps to address these issues:
Notability: I have conducted additional research to ensure that RG Qluck Wise meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for musicians, authors, and graphic designers. I have gathered reliable, secondary sources to establish his significance in these fields.
Neutral Tone: I have revised the content of the article to remove any promotional language or bias. The tone is now neutral and factual, focusing on providing an objective overview of RG Qluck Wise's career and achievements.
Draft Status: Instead of resubmitting the article directly to the main space, I plan to recreate it as a draft. This will allow for further refinement and review before seeking publication.
I believe that the revised draft meets Wikipedia's standards and guidelines for inclusion. Before proceeding, I wanted to seek your guidance and approval to ensure that I am following the correct procedure.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I am open to any feedback or suggestions you may have for improving the article further.

Hi, Recently I created 2 articles with the title 'Manu Munsi' and 'Kumkum Munsi'. But, from google search I came to know that these people used to write 'Munshi' more frequently than 'Munsi'. That means, the original spelling was 'Munshi'. So, first I tried to create redirect pages with 'Manu Munshi' and 'Kumkum Munshi', respectively. But, I came to know that previously these pages were created by someone but deleted later. But, I have enough sources to make these pages notable based on which I created these pages with the surname spelling 'Munsi' which is actually wrong. The original spelling is 'Munshi'. I don't know who created the previous articles. I would like to know whether it is possible to change the title of the articles accordingly.

Even so, if you're planning to rename the article and make other changes so that it focuses on the book instead of on Pressac (as you suggested should be done in your deprod rationale), then perhaps the cover could be kept; however, this file is essentially a collage of multiple images, and I don't think a non-free image of the interior pages would meet WP:NFCC#8, at least not based on the current version of the article. If your intent is to use the image in accordance with item 1 of WP:NFCI and WP:NFC#cite_note-3, it probably needs to be cropped to just show the cover. The cover and interior pages should be treated as separate files if the argument is that the latter also satisfy WP:NFCCP since their justification for non-free use isn't really equivalent. If you disagree with my assessment and feel the file is fine as is, I can nominate it for discussion at FFD to see what others might think and to try to sort things out; it could (at least in my opinion), however, be difficult to establish a consensus in favor of even keeping the cover as long as the article remains as is (i.e. about Pressac). -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:53, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Liz. You recently closed the AFD discussion for John Dunlop (chess player) one day after it was relisted to generate a more thorough discussion. I would suggest that 24 hours is not long enough to generate a more thorough discussion, and would ask that you reconsider the closure.

Dear Liz,
I hope this message finds you well. I recently learned that the Wikipedia page detailing my acting career (Adam Jamal Craig) was deleted under the belief that my contributions are insignificant. This decision also led to the removal of my name from my college's list of notable alumni and omitted references to my involvement in culturally significant works, including television series such as 'The Office' and 'NCIS: LA', among others.
As an actor and business owner actively working and living in Los Angeles, I respectfully request a reconsideration of these changes. The landscape of art and media is evolving, and my contributions, albeit not always captured through traditional formats, are part of this continuous change. Please, I ask for your support in undoing the deletions, allowing my career's ongoing story and contributions to be recognized and shared. Thank you for considering my request, and I look forward to any possibility of dialogue on this matter.
I am new to communicating in this wiki-based format so please forgive me if I have responded in some improper way. Edit -> Not sure how the "Books & Bytes" section appeared above. Again, sorry. I'm new at this.
Warm regards,
Adam Jamal Craig

Hi - I hope you don't mind my contacting you; I'm doing so simply becaause you came up top on the 'recently active admins' list. There's an article Pumi dog that is blanked out because of an alleged copyvio, which concerns a single sentence where the wording followed that of the American Kennel Club breed standard. Unfortunately the reporting editor has placed the flag at the top of the article, rather than in the relevant section, thus removing the entire article from view. I've followed procedure and posted an amended version of the article, which deals with the matter, at Talk:Pumi dog/Temp, and I hope it's just a question of an admin copying this back to the main page and removing the flag? But this has been pending now for five days, and with the world's biggest dog show starting tomorrow, this is a period when dog breed pages always get more views. Could you or one of your colleagues kindly drop by here and take a look, please? Thanks in anticipation.... MapReader ( talk) 08:05, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Dear Liz, I have noticed you do consistently wonderful work on categories, but you have just rolled back my edit at VB-4 and I wonder if there may be some mistake. If you review Chapter 1 at the linked page - https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/naval-aviation-history/dictionary-of-american-naval-aviation-squadrons-volume-1.html, you will find that at the height of the Pacific War in World War II, U.S. Navy aircraft carriers were operating a number of Bombing Squadrons, the most famous being the ones that fought at Midway and Coral Sea. All of these squadrons were redesignated several times over, and many now have articles within Category:Strike fighter squadrons of the United States Navy under their later VFA designations. But to link them properly when they fought the Japanese, a new category will be necessary - this category which I have created. I believe it will easily surpass 20 entries.

Hello Liz
This is in regard to the page deletion for the danish music group Badun, which I would like to dispute.
Badun is most certainly a very notable danish music group. They have existed for 20+ years and released 10+ albums, which are available in both physical and digital format:
https://www.discogs.com/artist/247091-Badun
They have been well covered and reviewed in the media and played several hundred concerts around the world, and they have collaborated with and inspired many artists.
A quick search on google for 'Badun' yields a first page almost exclusively with results about the band, which should validate its existence and wide notoriety:

Hello Liz, hopefully you are doing good. Although, usually questions are asked on the Teahouse, however, since you are familiar with the case, I thought I should ask you. Hopefully you won't mind.
This was my first time, as you might have noticed, so initially I was just going around. I saw the edit history of the User:Fhektii, I saw the deletion discussions, for crafting my own comment. In the process what I discovered was that there were few very old accounts that were commenting for deletion, however, to the best of my knowledge, it seemed that they were ignoring WP:GNG and WP:GNP. I don't want to assume anything bad about any one, maybe I have missed something or misunderstood, if you could find the time and look into it. I will be truly grateful. Thank you.

Hallo Liz, thanks for closing the AfD, but why "Merge", rather than "Redirect"? There is no content not included in Lowick, Cumbria other than the coordinates and an image. Pam D 06:32, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz, Thankyou for closing the AfD on this and reverting the article per AfD.
However, I believe the AfD called for more than a simple content reversion within the page. The article was renamed by User:Tedgrant1917 ([ [1]]), and the article requires moving back to the title Socialist Appeal (Britain), since the article is about Socialist Appeal. Unfortunately because it is still at the title Revolutionary Communist Party (UK, 2024), editors have continued attempting to rewrite the article about RCP, which is non-notable (and doesn't even exist at this point). I am unable to complete this move as Socialist Appeal (Britain) has multiple revisions and therefore a normal editor cannot complete the move.
I may have caused confusion here by stating "Keep, Sort of" in that I was advocating to keep the edit history, more than the title. The content needed reverting, but so did the title.
Per the AfD, would you be able to :
In either case, it's clearly inappropriate for the article about Socialist Appeal to be under the title RCP, and people will continue to try and replace the logo and change the article contents if it's under that title. TedGrant has caused a right cluster-fudge by usurping/rebranding the original article instead of just creating a new one (which would have failed NPP).

Hello, I just noticed and was quite surprised that the article mentioned in the title got deleted. I used that page multiple times in the past as reference, and I was not the only one. I personally do not agree with the deletion, and I'd like to elaborate why that is.
The most often mentioned reason in the discussion is WP:NOTCATALOG. I have looked into said ruleset. It is not a simple listing because it explains what the different numbers in the model number mean, and shows a comparison between model years of different series of models. They are not loosely associated, what is listed is exactly defined in the title. The points 3. through 6. are pretty obviously not involved with this.
It's also not a "brochure-style advertisement", listing of (industry standard) specifications is not an advertisement and the text sections are written as neutral as possible.
"Largely unreferenced, and most of the references provided are primary sources from Dell's support site." I don't see how it would have to be done differently for a page that contains lists of technical products. It's like that for other list pages for technical devices as well. Also, there's pretty much no better source for the specifications of a product than its manufacturer, because if they lied, they'd be liable.
As for the notability of said products, Dell has consistently been the largest manufacturer of monitors for the past decade. Coming back to the example of Samsung, it would be like claiming a list of Samsung Galaxy devices is not notable despite them being the largest manufacturer of smartphones for years. And that's also why there are lists for the Galaxy Z, S, A, M, F, XCover, Note, J and Y series.
I'm not in favor of keeping pages just for the sake of it. This page has been legitimately useful for people, including me and those mentioned, and I don't think it's only the three of us using this page for a reference, especially because it goes back so far, which is information hard to come by nowadays.

Hello, my name is Evgeny Galitskiy, I am writing to you on behalf of my close friend and a Russian oppositional politician Elvira Vikhareva whose page was removed and put in drafts.
This was done after a message from a user Anatoliy Rosdashin (Анатолий Росдашин) whom neither Elvira, nor I don't know. In the piece of code that Rosdashin submitted, he added to Evira's name a derogatory word "bobroedka" (literally translates from Russian as "beaver eater" and is often used when referred to a different person, a Russian propaganda journalist Margarita Simonyan).
Also, Rosdashin mentioned that Elvira is a "too small and insignificant politician according to WP:POLITICS". This is not true, because Elvira is a well-known oppositional political figure and political journalist based in Moscow, Russia. She ran for a member of the Moscow Municipal Board in 2021, runs her popular YouTube channel where she interviews important russian politicians, journalists and political scientists.
In 2022 Elvira was unjustly deemed a Foreign Agent by the Russian government. Besides that, she has been many times persecuted by the Russian authorities for her political views, physically attacked by people affiliated with the Russian government and poisoned with a neural agent.
All of this shows that Elvira Vikhareva is an important person in russian political life and her Wikipedia page deserves to be restored.
Elvira asked me to write this message to you, because she fears that her account will be deleted from Wikipedia if she does it herself.
Please restore her Wikipedia page.

Hi, I can see you are very busy so I hesitated to say something. I saw you involved in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Lozupone, and I am unsure how to deal with an editor who I believe is not paying attention to policy and I know another admin here [2] also told them to pay more attention when reverting changes, and you advised the user on their talk page too about closing AFDs, so I wanted to get input. I have been trying to improve the article at AFD, and the user removed some sources, some were not great sources, but also put a lot of citation needed in the first paragraph even though the second paragraph and further provide sources that show these things to be the case.
According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section it is common to not need citations in the lead section. I saw that for clarity many pages had stuff in the first section that was backed by citations in the later body, I tried to do that but maybe I did not know the correct procedure. This user also removed some titles from citations for no reason I see, and changed some text to be say something other than what the citation says. Because I created the article even though I was not the only editor, I have been told I can not be that involved so I want another opinion especially an admin who is involved with this AFD. I do not want to edit war over this but the user left a weird message about neutral point of view on my talk page and honestly I am getting frustrated at this whole thing and do not want to act out. Thank you very much if you can offer advice. I would understand if you can not or if I did something off, but I would like to improve the article more maybe but this makes it more difficult.

You concluded Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991) by deleting the article per the apparent consensus, which was part of the series Timeline of United States inventions. This leaves a bizarre gap, e.g. Timeline of United States inventions (1890–1945) and Timeline of United States inventions (after 1991) both still exist. I was led here by comparison with List of Japanese inventions and discoveries, which also continues to exist. The consensus on the AfD seems mixed, with some suggestions that the content was just badly organized.
It seems to me the correct course of action is instead to clean up the original article. This middle ground, where a large chunk of a timeline is simply missing, is quite glaring. Would this be possible, and what might it entail? Jemidiah ( talk) 21:11, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I don't know many prolific afd closers as you're the only one that came to mind. I would like to ask for your assistance/input in this afd I created of a Roman fella. I asked around and the only answer I got was he's notable cause he existed 2000 years ago but doesn't pass GNG. I'm asking this cause I've never seen an afd of a person like this and would like to know the way forward. Many thanks in advance. Serrwinner ( talk) 12:55, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello there Liz, good day to you. I was just writing an article for https://thepeopleshub.org for Ada Lovelace army project and went to link to Amy Varle's Wiki page and see you have deleted it? Why on earth have you done this? Susan 86.11.241.158 ( talk) 23:07, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
I have a slight apology to offer for accidentally creating a talk page with a longer name than its article page, which was therefore an orphaned talk page. I was trying to create a subpage of a talk page, containing a draft RFC, and I left the slash character out, so it was an orphaned page rather than a legal subpage. There is no way that a reasonable admin could have guessed what I was trying to do (and following the rules is a reasonable course of action). So I think I am doing it correctly this time.

Hi Liz (or any other admin happening by), can you check if this draft is essentially the same as William Allegrezza which was very recently deleted via this AfD. Normally I would not ask this about a draft but given it was just deleted and the creator also reverted your close (I reverted them), I don't want time wasted reviewing it if it is the same.

I am the author of one of the petitions on the Egov.Press website. It turns out that the Wikipedia article was deleted back in February. I ask you to consider the sources that provide evidence of the significance of the project. In my opinion, this is the same site as Avaaz, Change.org, which do not require proof of significance in a particular country.

Hello - I noticed in your edit summary at a user page you described one of the tags as an overreaction. This is what the page looked like at the time of nomination. Didn't realize they'd edited out the article after responding to them at my talk page. That's my bad for not removing it in a timely manner.
Though I do have a few questions coming from this - do admins reviewing the CSD category not look into the page history when reviewing, and is the onus on the nominator to remove the tag once it no longer meets the criteria? I know I've had a handful of issues with my CSD tags before, and I'd like to knock those issues out before I keep going and reviewing new user pages. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for protecting the Liverpolitan identity page. I have taken on board your comment. Would it be possible for to move it to Liverpolitan as the system is having problems auto finding sources for – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR.

Hey I just now noticed you closed this AfD.
While it seems that notability is not an issue, the article still has literally zero independent references. Isn't that a reason for deletion? How can the page be allowed to remain as it is? Note that the article is also largely the work of a blatant COI editor who has since been banned. [3]
Should probably be deleted per WP:TNT, no?

Hi, Liz. Despite creating close to 200 pages and being an AfC reviewer myself, I sent this to AfC because I was on the fence about notability at first. After submitting, there was another in-depth reference that came out and I added but instead of moving I left it there anyway. It was declined by a reviewer (and not casting aspersions) who has very little experience in article creation or AfC. I brought the subject up with them on my talk page. They initially left a response that didn't make sense to me and have failed to respond in about two weeks on my request for clarification. I would prefer to move the draft so that the history is attached as opposed to copy and paste. Of course, it is always subject to AfD if anyone feels otherwise but I think the edit history is important. If you can remove the redirect I would appreciate it. And to be fair, the reviewer declined another submission I had which I am completely fine with as I am still on the fence about that one. CNMall41 ( talk) 03:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

At the time I re-created the page, the page Fly Dhaka Airlines was listed as being established in 2024. And no, it was not me or a sock-puppet that added the category to the page. It seems that somebody (else) has now removed the category from Fly Dhaka Airlines leaving it empty again. My inclination is to keep the 2024 establishment page category - regardless of what happend to Fly Dhaka Airlines, on the basis that 1 or more airlines that begin to run as a business in 2024 will likely gets their own wikipedia page(s) some time in the next 9 months - see the category /info/en/?search=Category:Airlines_by_year_of_establishment with entries every year for the last 100+ years to see what I mean.

Hi Liz, your Wikipedia editors block someone for contributing edits to suspected sockpuppet articles and participating in AFD discussions but they let an editor who behaves like this [5], calling other people idiot which is prohibited by rules and utter the racist sentence "Die, irrelevant Indonesian people articles" in here [6]. He even put speedy deletion tags on several articles without understanding terms like here [7], here [8], here [9], [10], and here [11], here [12], and there is no indication that he did WP:BEFORE before installing the tag. He even nominated several articles for WP:GNG reason even though they have been cited from various books and news, and as i mentioned earlier there is no indication that he did WP:BEFORE before doing this, like in [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], and [18]. Im sure that he doesn't even understand the content of the article which he nominated for deletion. Whatever it takes on this so called encyclopedia, i just wanted you to investigating this.

Hey Liz!
Hoping you can help on providing me the contents of the Ceres, Washington page that was deleted - log here [19] - that came from a new clean-up initiative, Wikipedia:WikiProject_Washington/GNIS_cleanup/State
Are you able (and willing!) to shift the page to a User Draft article under my name, or send me a link to the article's history page so I can rewrite the page? I haven't been able to find the old article's contents anywhere - it's like it never existed...but I admit I can't figure out the logs/search/deleted page stuff to save my soul.
Not asking to reinstate as of now - I've been compiling sources for Ceres for a couple years as I come across it but I don't have immediate time to direct attention to it fully. But over some weeks I can get around to it.

Hello Liz,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi Liz, noticed your note on Ivanvector's talk page. Swapd came up on my radar not that long ago trying to research sources to determine reliability and kept coming across ads there for paid articles in certain publications (ex. [21]). I then started looking at Wikipedia services. They banned offering Wikipedia services back in 2020 [22] but in August last year started allowing it again on a trial basis [23]. Google search "Swapd" "Wikipedia" and you'll see all kinds of stuff. See also these YouTube videos from a SEO expert: [24] and [25] which he references in the other one. I've debated about posting something about it at AN but need to do some more research. They do appear to be legit as far as they monitor/oversee activity to ensure transparency, prevent scamming, etc. S0091 ( talk) 17:05, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
I noticed that your closure says that " editors arguing for Deletion have rejected the sources brought forward by those editors advocating Keep as being ROUTINE coverage". I have a major issue with this. The definition and examples for ROUTINE don't cover transactions. The examples are about box scores and match reports being used in articles about specific matches. You can't say that there's no leeway because of the recent RFC (unless there's another RFC I'm not aware of since NSPORTS) - it's not applicable (and besides - it never was a rule). Also, I brought forward an secondary source, and User:Mach61 claimed it was primary, and making false claims it was primary, and refused to explain why they thought it was primary, other than "I explained why I thought those sources were primary", despite never having discussed the source! When I pointed out the independence of the source, they simply refused to discuss it, and made another mistruth that "Most every source you've brought so far is primary"! When I pointed out that I'd only brought forward a single source (and that they was being uncivil) they simply said that they didn't have to explain. Surely, if nothing else, Mach61's vote needs to be discounted, given their propensity to just make stuff up. Thanks for the detailed, clear, closing statement - even if I disagree with it!

I'm not sure how to appeal a Draft decision. Also, I'm not sure the expected responsiveness I should get from an admin; I've requested that the decision be moved to a higher authority but no reply. It does not seem that the guidelines in WP:ADMINCOND and WP:DRAFTNOTIFY are being followed.
A long time ago I was assigned autopatrol privileges to prevent this type of unnecessary overhead when editing pages. I don't think I've abused this privilege. It makes creating pages much more frustrating when pages get drafted.

Hi! Re: your query. Yes the G4 was a mistake but the G11 wasn't. Don't worry, I won't re-tag. If they don't make a real attempt, I'll take it to MfD.

Hey @ Liz, I want to open an AFD for Abhishek Kumar article, but on opening the AFD, the AFD has already been taken place in 2011 for another subject that goes by same name.

Hello Liz. I wanna say thanks for contributing one of my files. I know, it's just a little edit (human review and stuff, I know that lol.), but... that means a lot.
Now, since today is my retirement day from Wikipedia, I think I might not come back and edit no more.
If you want to ask why and stuff, just reply to me. Tell @ Minorax that I say hi. Cya, Liz!

Kia ora Liz. I see that you moved my article on Joce Nuttall to Jocelyn Nuttall, because "This is the name the subject is referred to in the article body". My understanding is that it is common practice to put someone's full name if known at the start of their article, but that doesn't mean it is the name they are commonly known by, and articles should be under the name someone is generally known by. Jocelyn Grace Nuttall is the subject's full name but she is known as Joce Nuttall in almost all the sources I have seen. Would you please undo the redirect? I have been told previously that if a nickname is a common or obvious one not bother adding "known as" but if it would help we could have "Jocelyn Grace Nuttall known as Joce"?

It is considered a high point when a javanese official or politician speaks for an hour and nothing is really said....My comment at bumi yana (?) was that such a person can be a link in a chain, metaphorically speaking, and yes at face value of the article per se - the deletionists have their point and it should go - but in understanding the cultural and real life connections, a number of non notable things and people can combine to effect things of a larger dimension, and the capacity of an editor to navigate people and things between what might be considered at first view not connected, but then are... The editors quoting rules and things are in the right space in one sense, but then the larger picture can complicate the issue. JarrahTree 09:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Category:Iraqi people of Israeli descent indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. ✗ plicit 14:49, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Liz, the CitrusAd page was deleted because of "abandonment" and it sounds like it was in a "draft stage" prior to deletion, could you undo this in order for me to make any necessary edits? I apologize in advance for being new here, but learned about the page status in the teahouse- I am hoping there is a way to get a copy of what was here and and advice on anything that needs to be fixed and addressed prior to republishing. Kind regards, TLN27 TLN27 ( talk) 17:19, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Liz, thanks for taking a look at my speedy deletion request at Beloit and Madison Railroad. I agree with you that it was just created and when I saw the article I also thought to let the author work; however, what led me to speedy deletion was the discovery of Draft:Beloit and Madison Railroad, which is an identical article created by the same user through the AFC process where it was rejected back in January with no further edits. The article creator appears to have ignored advice from the AFC reviewer and simply recreated their own article in mainspace with no interest in improving it.
I probably should have noted this in the AFC process. Dan • ✉ 06:37, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

First off, I am not a new editor. I have been a prolific Wikipedia editor since 2005. I added an IMDb link to the Mawqef Micro page and updated its information to reflect the fact that the second season aired in 2016, as confirmed by the show's official YouTube page. I really don't see why you reverted that. I mean, I hadn't noticed that Category:2016 Syrian television series endings didn't exist, but there was really no need to remove the IMDb link and the brief sentence about the show's second season.-- LadybugStardust ( talk) 01:55, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, the page quantum economics was proposed for deletion on April 9 and then a decision was made to merge with econophysics on April 16. The reason proposed for deletion was that this is a fringe subject, however as I noted on April 15, the subject has its own journal with a top academic publisher ( Sage Publishing). It seems that the editors were unaware of this, but there was no response or discussion, and instead a decision to merge with econophysics was made. This choice appears to be due to a single article an editor found on "quantum econophysics". However the field is not normally considered a branch of econophysics, and the expression "quantum econophysics" is unusual especially in more recent works. So it seems the proposal to delete or merge the article was not based on good information, and the decision was rushed through without a balanced discussion. Can you please revisit the decision to merge? I have added some references to the page which include established journals and secondary sources. Also if a merger is to be made, it would seem more logical to merge quantum finance (which has its own page) with quantum economics, since the latter has many applications in finance but is more general.

Hello, I have noticed that you have reverted by edits on blocked socks of User:JayCubby. However, I believe that those edits would be overall beneficial to the project, despite rules saying otherwise. It would save time for other editors looking for a reason to why they were blocked, and it is not misleading or untruthful in anyway. I have done this on several occasions, and have not been told this until now. I hope you consider my argument and thank you! 2003 LN 6 06:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi! Sorry if my CSD tags were a bit confusing, as for some reason we can't use subcriteria when adding several criteria at once. I intended to delete it under the other G3 (hoax, rather than vandalism). The creation of these nonexistent Windows 8.x pages (in reality, versions stopped at 8.1) is typical of User talk:13.234.2FortytwoUser, who, on top of the obvious username similarities, has been recently active and socking. See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 April 5#Draft:Windows 8.4 for an example of a redirect of them that was speedy deleted. Chaotıċ Enby ( talk · contribs) 08:23, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Liz! A few days ago you reverted my edits ( 1, 2) at Q-Be with the reason Reverting edits. Don't change an article to a redirect and then nominate it for AFD. It's a redirect now, not an article. I've read up a bit more on various guidelines and I understand your reasoning, so thank you for reverting – I agree I shouldn't have nominated the redirect for deletion.
However, you said "It's a redirect now", but you reverted both of my edits, including the one that turned the page into a redirect. Was this intentional? My view is that the page should be a redirect to MobiBLU DAH-1500i because the Q-BE is just a rebranded version of the same product.
The reason I'm bringing this up here is because I was about to modify my AFD nomination to remove the note about the Q-BE article for the reason you gave in your edit, but I realised that Q-Be isn't even a redirect anymore: it's now just an article. If you did mean to remove the redirect then I think the article should be deleted per the reasoning in my nomination, but if you didn't mean to remove the redirect then I'll need to remove it from my nomination because, like you say, I shouldn't have nominated it after changing it to a redirect.
Hopefully I've phrased this right – I completely agree with your reasoning, but I am genuinely unsure about whether you meant to revert both edits as you acknowledged the page's new status as a redirect in your edit summary.

As everyone (including the nom) is in agreement, wouldn't it make the most sense to close the discussion as keep instead of relisting (though if you really wanted to, you could IAR and place an {{ Afd-merge to}} template on Mastering (audio) to spare the effort of opening a talk page discussion, though I understand if that is undesireable)?

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

Hello, Liz. Apologies if this is the wrong place to inquire, but I have some questions about legitimate uses of alternative accounts on Wikipedia before I do anything further. Outside of Wikipedia I am doing volunteer work with secondary school students (but am not employed by any educational institution) and I would like to use an alternative account to teach my students how to edit on Wikipedia. In the process I hope to assist them in creating their own articles. I have created an alternative account, Mr. J. F. Lee for this particular endeavor and to maintain my privacy in real life. I have, however, not done anything on that account beyond making my user page declaring my link to my main account (this account). I am aware of WP:COI.
So, a couple questions:
Other questions will surely arise from me, but they escape my mind at the moment. I am trying to make sure I have a proper understanding of these guidelines and that I receive a green-light from an administrator before I open pandora's box. Thank you for your time, and have a great rest of your weekend. Yue 🌙 21:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz, it's a hoax as there is zero evidence that the characters are named "Chuck Pratt" [26] or "Red Jack Bird" [27]. Having one of them wrong might have been some typo, but having both wrong? That's just making things up, i.e. a hoax. Fram ( talk) 08:47, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.
If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.
Growth features are currently configurable at Special:EditGrowthConfig
. This quarter we are working on making
Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.
An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.
In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.
Add a Image experiment analysis results
The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “ Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:
Personalized praise experiment results
This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. ( T361763)
English donors encouraged to try editing
As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation ( example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. ( T352900)
Annual Plan
The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. ( T361657)
Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module
We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

I am surprised that an article which has been around for years about a denomination which has existed since 1965 and was founded under the direct influence of a relatively major figure in conservative Calvinistic theological circles, John Murray (theologian) can be deleted suddenly in a period of 7 days.
The denomination is listed as a member body of North American Presbyterian and Reformed Council on its Wikipedia page, a council which includes the second-largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States, the Presbyterian Church in America.
You may say that articles are not prepared professionally, but you have to remember that once upon a time Wikipedia advertised itself as "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit" - little did we know back then that this would become "anyone who knows how to jump through the hoops" that would later be enforced by people who by their own admission "delete many pages every day". I was once sickened when my detailed article on a late 19th/early 20th century Scottish Christian leader of very wide influence was deleted and replaced by a present day sporting figure who will no doubt be rapidly forgotten. I frankly don't understand what the motive is of people who delete any but the most frivolous articles. It's not as if extra articles are doing any harm - and just because they are about things or people way outside the knowledge of most, does not mean that they are not important in their context. For instance it has been suggested that the Presbyterian Reformed Church may be the only indigenous North American denomination which holds to the original 17th century Puritan Westminster Confession of Faith - most Presbyterian denominations hold to a modified American form instead, which is important in the context of the relationship between church and state, something in which American history differs somewhat from that of the countries from which its people largely originated, and which is a matter of live debate at the present day.

Hello - while I respect your judgment, but I believe this promotional BLP should have been soft deleted. Despite noting that the page was PROD'd, I highlighted that it was the creator of this BLP who made the PROD request. Even if we discount the votes from IPs (SPAs), the BLP still falls short of meeting the notability criteria, both WP:GNG and specifically WP:JOURNALIST. And additionally, though there's no concrete evidence of paid editing, Faizanalivarya's admission of editing BLPs on behalf of subjects suggest a potential COI scenario which also raises some concerns as well. sincerely — Saqib ( talk | contribs) 15:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Hi Liz, you moved Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition back to drafts, I'm looking for feedback. I understand there would have been some discussion of this before the move, but as a basic newbie I don't know where to look. There's nothing on the talk page. I'll declare my interest, these are students of mine and I think they've done good work so I'd like to take the article forward to mainspace if I can get some feedback on what needs to be improved. Thanks. Bcndz5 ( talk) 13:16, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi there! I wanted to reach out to see if you would please restore my Draft page for Harriet Pullen. It was marked for speedy deletion under CSD G13...I believe this page contact still merits creation and now have time to complete it. Please let me know if you have any concerns! Thanks.

Hi, Katya passed away recently [1] [2] [3], and since I was an acquaintance of hers, I was wondering if you might share with me the contents of the Wikipedia page about her that you deleted [4] in 2020?

Hi! Not your deletion, but since we discussed Saira Shah Halim following my deletion (also not being queried, so I don't feel this is canvassing), I linked our discussion there. Courtesy heads up, and no action needed unless you choose to participate. Star Mississippi 02:15, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
These need to be restored to article space where they were unilaterally and improperly moved by a user whose competence for moving pages you've already questioned on their talk pages. In short, they need to be restored to the status quo ante bellum, considering the "bellum" was a mess up by someone who didn't know what they were doing. Based on their move summary, it looks Like they wanted to do a wholesale replacement of the existing article text with a draft on their user space sandbox, without discussion, and are attempting to do that by improperly moving a main space article to draft space and then overwriting the deleted redirect. They need to be stopped immediately and their improper moves undone. oknazevad ( talk) 04:41, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Liz. How are you doing.
I need you and some others to investigate on this wikipedian Saqib. He is constantly deleting my articles and he first adds nobility to it and the next he nominates it for delete. He previously also accused me of Sockpuppeter and also though I have connections with someone but I said that I don't have any connection. He is trying to make me block from wikipedia. I have started wikipedia in 2020 and this is my only account which I use till now. I am purely contributing to Pakistani Entertainment. I take sources from newspaper, books, magazine and interviews.
He thinks that my sources are not fine and keeps saying they are not significant but these sources are used in other Pakistani articles as well. I did a litte bit of my search on Saqib and I learned that he has previously did this thing also on other users as well such as deleting their works like of Faizan Munawar Varya whose articles he also deleted. I saw their converison Reporting User Saqib for Harrasing other Users on Administrators' noticeboard in April 21, 2024.
Please do some investigation on Saqib.
Thank you. Have a very wonderful day. (12:53, 1 May 2024 (UTC))
Hello Liz. I'm not talking about blocking but I only want to investigate on him. I don't know anyone here so that I could have told them to investigate. I will look again at everything and check everything.( BeauSuzanne ( talk) 05:48, 2 May 2024 (UTC))

An article on Woodsey--a very obscure toy line produced by Fisher-Price at the turn of the 1980s--has sat idle in my article sandbox for a decade and a half. At this writing, the only coverage thereof is the barest of a one-line mention in the "Historic brands and products" section of its company's article.
Coming back to it this season as I clean out the sandbox one topic at a time (while transitioning to a brand-new
AFC queue), I've found
three--make that six--usable citations so far from the fishwrap morgue (via
WP:Library) that may be enough for a standalone page. An ambitious task given that most of the WP Library hits are advertisements; if you or I can find more coverage, then we'll remind you!
Like I said...very obscure.
It might as well be an understatement that this quoted excerpt from one of those tie-in books--Uncle Filbert Saves the Day, the one I've always remembered from my primary-school youth in the Commonwealth of Dominica--aptly serves as a metaphor for my efforts those past several days, and (on a wider scale) for those committed to upholding WP's RS/ notability expectations no matter the subject, vintage, demographic, or obscurity. (H/T Etsy product pics.)
"When will he [Filbert] settle down?" said Mama [Milkweed], shaking her head.
"Sometimes you have to run up many trees to find the right branch," said Papa, who often said things that took a while to understand.
Once this appeal gets the go-ahead, I'll put this straight in the mainspace--something I hardly ever do nowadays thanks to AFC.
Speaking of old-school cottagecore, I have a Bethany Roberts draft to revive soon enough--blame recent Miraheze duties for the oversight.
All the best...

Hi. Don't worry, this isn't some kind of nagging for an undeletion, but I use Jet Fuel Formula almost daily and as soon as I saw it deleted, wondered why it wasn't simply turned into a redirect with retrievable and 'bookmarkable' history intact. No dice, and while I was pleased that User:DrPepperIsNotACola recreated it as a redirect, that user stated that they don't have the power to restore histories. Could you please restore the history, and if you feel the need to still wall it off from restoration, make it a protected redirect?

Hello, I was hesitant to make this comment because I don't want to sound obtrusive, but I notice that when you delink deleted articles on disambiguation pages, set index articles, etc., you often leave the entry there, such as in this edit. I feel like this goes against the spirit of MOS:DABNOLINK/ MOS:DABRED and similar navigational guidelines. Do you think you could take care to remove the entries completely on disambiguations, set indexes, see also sections and hatnotes when the article it's linking to has been deleted? (in the case of hatnotes, the hatnote should be removed completely if it contains only a redlink). Hopefully there's not a misunderstanding on my part. Thanks for all the work you do here!

Hi Liz, I am contacting you about a page you deleted: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Obese-Jecty - Wikipedia
I have read the rationale and disagree that it should have been deleted. Political candidates are subject to significant media interest and pressure. Added to which, having been a columnist at a national newspaper and a television pundit on national news in the UK the subject is more notable than those arguing for deletion suggest. The article should at least be moved into draft; as noted in the discussion it was well-written and detailed. Toadynudge ( talk) 10:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Greetings. I am an administrator and bureaucrat on Wikimedia Commons. It was brought to my attention on a platform not Wiki that there is a problem with some edits on an article Donald_Young_(choir_director). As stated on that talk page, [28] I found some problems with some edits on that article and corrected as many as I could. I then went to the page of the editor responsible for the odd citations and found that you recently deleted a draft article on the apparently same topic. The diff is here [29]
I do not think that the changes that I undid are relevant to the Wiki project. They have been undone by others before. I wish I had more experience with en:Wiki - do you have an equivalent to "check user" to see if there are socks of this user? The person who brought this forward to me suggested that there may be other edits or other accounts involved.
In the interest of completeness, I looked at other contributions of this editor and found Benedict_Biscop of which the first four citations either do not mention, do not exist, 404 page not found. Later citations at least mention him, and one https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095458439 seems to be the source of much of the en:Wiki article including perhaps full phrases.
Please reply to me at my Wiki Commons talk page [30] which sends me notifications.
Thank you so much in advance for your time and attention to this matter.

If you'd prefer, you could restore it to the draft space if you have any concerns. Concerns i hope you would share with me so i can correct them.

Hi Liz. This G8 deletion of yours seems to have been erroneous.
G8 excludes "Redirects that were broken as a result of a page move or retargeting (these should instead be retargeted to their target's new name), except where
R2 speedy deletion would then immediately apply if they were fixed (e.g., redirects to articles that have been
draftified)
". (And, of course, R2 doesn't apply to redirects from userspace.) (Do with this comment as you wish; I don't particularly care if it's undeleted.)

Hello Liz, I somehow missed the notifcation from March that an article I edited was proposed for deletion due to "Bandcamp artist spam". This page has since been deleted, titled " Wally Scharold". If I recall correctly, I updated a dead link on the page to that person's band, which is currently only linkable to their Bandcamp page as the official website of the band was no longer active. Had I been aware of the proposed deletion in time, I would have gladly removed the edit in question. If possible, I'd greatly appreciate it if this page could be restored. Thank you.

Dear Liz,
Could you look into Gregory J. Marchand and examine the circumstances of deletion? It might be possible to restore it to draftspace.
You're definitely right that the AFC process can be tedious and tiresome, we went through a lot of draft revisions to get through! But, as you can see from the logs I did indeed follow the AFC process all the way through. I did not take any shortcuts or post in mainspace without permission, and so CSD may have been mistakenly applied. I really appreciate your help with this. Also, if you have any suggestions to improve the page I will be happy to comply.
Thank you!

Since that DRV is now closed, I figured we'll continue this here. You said,
Owen×, I've observed that many NAC closures are early closures. AGF, I think they want to gain experience with closures but with a current shortage of closers, it's usually unnecessary to do closures early. I don't want to single out this closure as it's just a trend I've noticed this year. I've seen "SNOW" closes with only 3 or 4 discussion participants which is not how I interpret SNOW to work.
Personally, I'm not bothered by eager NACs jumping in to close an obvious Keep AfD a few hours before the seven days are up. If consensus to keep is obvious enough for a NAC, waiting the full week is an unnecessary technicality. What bothers me are closures that are completely inappropriate for a non-admin. Almost anything closed as No-consensus is a BADNAC, pretty much by definition. Marginal Keeps are also a problem. Yesterday I had to revert a NAC Keep closure based on a grand total of two Keep !votes, one of which was little more than an ILIKEIT. The closer was friendly and understanding, so this didn't end up with a wheel-war like with that other guy I took to DRV, and the harm was minimal, but these things happen all the time.
We need to find a way to encourage non-admins to get involved with closing AfD, without creating this mad race to the Close button I see as we approach the seven-day finish line. Currently, most of the obvious NAC-elegible AfDs are closed by you, by Star Mississippi and by Explicit. By the time I check the backlog, usually all that's left are the contentious, messy, often political ones that no one else wants to touch, and almost invariably end up in DRV. I try to tackle at least one of those whenever I see them. Would it make sense to deliberately leave more obvious Keep AfDs open for NAC closure? I know you hate seeing anything in the AfD backlog, but these are easy, straightforward cases, and no harm is done by having them open for eight days rather than seven. With more opportunities for NACs to hone their closing skills, maybe we'll get fewer of those forced-SNOW inappropriate closures. What do you think? Owen× ☎ 12:27, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz,
I am a student currently writing a paper on gender bias on wiki. I want to ask you a few questions regarding your experiences as a female editor on wiki. If you are not comfortable responding, then no worries about responding. Thanks!
These are the questions I would like to ask for my paper: 1. Have you ever experienced anything that you would classify as a result of gender bias on wiki? 2. How you heard of the "Women in Red" list on wiki> If so, have you tried writing a page for one of the women with a red link? What were your experiences like and what type of edits did you receive from other editors on wiki? 3. Why do you think gender bias exists on a platform such as wiki, or even in general? Is there anything you think that could be done to lessen this divide caused by gender?

Hey @ Liz,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for your invaluable contributions to improving Wikipedia content. Your dedication to maintaining accuracy and reliability within the platform is truly commendable. I am reaching out to discuss a matter regarding an article draft that was deleted last year under your supervision. The draft in question pertains to Sergey Smbatyan, and it was removed due to a lack of reliable sources at the time. Since then, I worked to gather sufficient and verifiable sources covering Sergey Smbatyan's accomplishments and contributions. I believe that now I have a robust set of references that meet Wikipedia's standards for reliability. Given your expertise in this area, I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the process of republishing the article. I want to ensure that I adhere to all Wikipedia guidelines and protocols to guarantee the article's compliance and accuracy. Your insights and direction on this matter would be immensely valuable to me, and I am eager to collaborate with you to bring this article back to the platform in a manner that upholds Wikipedia's integrity. Thank you once again for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Warm regards Grigor Khachatrian ( talk) 08:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Dear @ Liz,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request permission to recreate the draft for the article on RG Qluck Wise, a Ghanaian record producer, author, and graphic designer.
I understand that previous attempts to create this article were met with deletion due to various reasons, including concerns about notability and promotional language. I have carefully reviewed the deletion log and taken steps to address these issues:
Notability: I have conducted additional research to ensure that RG Qluck Wise meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for musicians, authors, and graphic designers. I have gathered reliable, secondary sources to establish his significance in these fields.
Neutral Tone: I have revised the content of the article to remove any promotional language or bias. The tone is now neutral and factual, focusing on providing an objective overview of RG Qluck Wise's career and achievements.
Draft Status: Instead of resubmitting the article directly to the main space, I plan to recreate it as a draft. This will allow for further refinement and review before seeking publication.
I believe that the revised draft meets Wikipedia's standards and guidelines for inclusion. Before proceeding, I wanted to seek your guidance and approval to ensure that I am following the correct procedure.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I am open to any feedback or suggestions you may have for improving the article further.

That means, the original spelling was 'Munshi'. So, first I tried to create redirect pages with 'Manu Munshi' and 'Kumkum Munshi', respectively. But, I came to know that previously these pages were created by someone but deleted later. But, I have enough sources to make these pages notable based on which I created these pages with the surname spelling 'Munsi' which is actually wrong. The original spelling is 'Munshi'. I don't know who created the previous articles. I would like to know whether it is possible to change the title of the articles accordingly. If you kindly advise me in this regard, it will be beneficial. Finesilpo ( talk) 16:02, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Can you please undelete 19th Division (United States)(Prior to World War I) looks like that one had substantive history, and was also a bit of accidental WP:WHEELing. I plan a running a script to find these and go through systemically to deal with a some point when I have the time. Probably in most cases they will be fixable by moving without leaving a redirect, but there will probably be some XFDs needed. Of course if an obvious title presents itself you can go ahead and move it there right now.
Separately, I have a nagging feeling I was supposed to assist you with something a few months back, and I can't remember if I got around to it. Probably not important, but if you want to give me a hard time I won't object. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:A024:5E49:D03:3D9F ( talk) 16:59, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Said user may be a sockpuppet of User:SteaminThomasTheTrain32 because of unofficial Thomas & Friends-related Auto-biography pages and said in the pages that his name is “David J. Murray Jr”, which is the user’s real name
Also he was infamous on FANDOM as an account named “Really Useful Hedgehog 2” for attention seeking and trying to steal another user named “Too Much Toby” IP address..

Since you've been contesting my PROD tags, I would like to notify you about the following audio samples deleted per FFD discussions:
If you still feel that any of the above needs to be undeleted, then (I insist you even as an admin) please contact Explicit or Fastily, or please take any of them to WP:DRV. Thank you. George Ho ( talk) 02:06, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi Liz. I'm not sure I agree with your assessments of File:JC Pressac - Auschwitz- Technique and operation of the gas chambers (1989).jpg and of the article where the file is being used that you gave in your deprod rationale. Even so, if you're planning to rename the article and make other changes so that it focuses on the book instead of on Pressac (as you suggested should be done in your deprod rationale), then perhaps the cover could be kept; however, this file is essentially a collage of multiple images, and I don't think a non-free image of the interior pages would meet WP:NFCC#8, at least not based on the current version of the article. If your intent is to use the image in accordance with item 1 of WP:NFCI and WP:NFC#cite_note-3, it probably needs to be cropped to just show the cover. The cover and interior pages should be treated as separate files if the argument is that the latter also satisfy WP:NFCCP since their justification for non-free use isn't really equivalent. If you disagree with my assessment and feel the file is fine as is, I can nominate it for discussion at FFD to see what others might think and to try to sort things out; it could (at least in my opinion), however, be difficult to establish a consensus in favor of even keeping the cover as long as the article remains as is (i.e. about Pressac). -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:53, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you closed this PROD a while back. I would like to request undeletion. The concern was "Unused, obviously incorrect license tag (not PD-US), but unclear if this is eligible for Commons. Esoteric file format, dubious encyclopedic value".

Delete a category. I simply moved the articles to another one that met the criteria better. KujKuń ( talk) 18:11, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I have a question on something that I've run into a few times. What is the best procedure if a user immediately recreates and article in mainspace after it has been draftified? I tagged this one for CSD under a custom rationale but I figure there is a better way. Thank you. TornadoLGS ( talk) 20:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
