Hello, Qwerfjkl,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username MPGuy2824, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged Great baths (disambiguation) for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in draft space first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|MPGuy2824}}
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!

Hi, I saw that you closed the discussion Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_November_6#Category:Citizens_through_descent as merge per proposal – the proposal being for "citizens of X by descent" categories to be merged to "people with acquired X citizenship" categories – despite there being:
I agree with the first and last !votes, and perhaps the category should have been split so that there will be less confusion in sorting the articles, but in any case, three contrasting !votes is not a consensus at all, and I don't believe this discussion should have been closed. I am here to encourage you to reverse the merges and relist the discussion, rather than taking this to the more laborious WP:DELREV. Kingsif ( talk) 23:57, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
DabCatter is working well but I found one minor issue: the page may get deleted between compiling the list and editing the page. I think the only cases are Great Baths (disambiguation) and Great baths (disambiguation). Can you check the page still exists immediately before editing it? Certes ( talk) 23:48, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Qwerfjkl,
Did you intend to tag this category page for deletion? You closed a CFD with this category as a merge but the other category has not been created yet. Please do not just close the discussions but also handle the follow through on what should happen with the categories involved in the discussions. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:40, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Mentor, When I recently created a film article, I found the producer Sandip Senan and director Tharun Moorty don't have a Wikipedia article, when I check to create Sandip Senan, I found there are some warnings about previous deletions. Could you check and advise me regarding this? Do I need to try it or avoid creating it ? awaiting your response. -- Ameer al safar ( talk) 08:17, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
You closed the CFD Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 November 14#Eton College categories in accordance with the unanimous opinion. Thank you. Sadly the outcome is unreasonable. For example the bot upmerged the category at John Moyer Heathcote [5] which had the effect of removing the article from the Category:English barristers tree because Category:Barristers educated at Eton College was a subcategory of that also (see archive) and so the English barrister category was not required directly in the article. This seems likely to be a general problem. I have corrected only two cases. What should be done? Thincat ( talk) 11:58, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review
the candidates and submit your choices on the
voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{
NoACEMM}}
to your user talk page.

Welcome to the twenty-third newsletter from the Growth team!
The goal of the Growth team is to encourage newcomers to try editing for the first time, and encourage them to keep editing. We want to increase newcomers' motivation by showing them how impactful their edits are.
Newcomers have access to an impact module; you can find yours at Special:Impact. The revised impact module provides new editors with more context about their impact. It will display the number of edits, the number of thanks received, the last time they edited, the number of consecutive days they edited, and the number of views for the articles they edited.
This module will soon be available at our pilot wikis starting December 1. You can already test this new module at Beta Wikipedia. For safety reasons, do not use your regular account and password at Beta wiki. Create a new, specific account for this wiki, with a different password.
After the deployment of Structured tasks, we received feedback from various communities regarding how patrollers of recent changes were feeling overwhelmed by an increase in edits to check, and how some edits were poor quality or of poor relevance.
We made several improvements based on the feedback we received. Several points of improvement have already been addressed:
The Positive Reinforcement project will also address some of the concerns around encouraging newcomers to progress to higher value edits. The Growth team will soon work on strategies geared at " Leveling up" newcomers so they progress from easy to more difficult tasks.

Dear Mentor, I have created a bio article Sreejith Sarang, he is one of the well-known editors in India. could you check and advise me on anything else I should improve? The article has a deletion history 3 years back. But I believe that he is eligible with his current portfolio. I have added a stub temp too, as the article lacks some information. Please check and give me a concise advice. -- Ameer al safar ( talk) 07:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Qwerfjkl. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Amadea (yacht), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.
