Technically, they are synonyms. In my state, Hawaii, I will get carded at any store if I try to purchase Buckler, because it contains low alcohol (0.5% abv). In the US, low-alcohol and non-alcohol mean the same thing, which is confusing for people outside the US. As you can imagine, alcohol laws (or their vestiges) in the US, have lots of problems.

Hi. You're doing very well, you're a fine editor and we all look forward to as an addition to the admin corps. Hopefully you're not stressed. But... I hate to be "that guy", but I had a pertinent question about the photo on your user page. There's a thread on the RfA talk page if you want to chime in (you don't have to of course). Again, congrats. Herostratus ( talk) 21:17, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi there. I don't often read requests for adminship, but a friend happened to link to yours so I unfortunately gave it a skim, including the talk page. I found Herostratus' comments really unbecoming and unnecessary. His paragraphs of text read like a toxic mix of soapboxing and sealioning. I think you'll be a fine admin and I'm glad that Herostratus is no longer one here. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 06:17, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

It seems the tone of your RfA is much worse than one would hope for. It understandably is causing you a lot of wikistress so here's a sleepy kitten! It's finally good weather here in NL so I hope it's good weather where you are so you can enjoy nature a bit to ground you from the heightened emotions. As a USSC nerd I really appreciate your work on shadow docket, hope to see more of that type of content from you in the future :) Feel free to ping me if you need anyone to peer-review legal articles you work on.

It’s safe to say there’s no Jupiter stopping the inevitable, hence allow me congratulate you in advance on your successful RFA. Furthermore I note what you did (or said) in the comment section in which you show your dissatisfaction about the bickering amongst editors and reprimand even those supporting you & this is precisely why you’d make a great sysop in my opinion. I !voted for you because I believe you’d be helpful against tackling less than ethical practices such as COI editing and your response to my question confirmed my thinking. Please do not let me down and do well to indeed fight against unethical practices as you have promised to. Oh well, congratulations once more on your successful RFA in advance. .

Note: Message was regarding my comment at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Confirmed.
The RfA process is a shitty one and I hate opposing even at the best of times, doubly so when the motive for my oppose is not actual concern that the candidate lacks what it takes to be an admin but the meta concern that a bona fide issue isn't being taken seriously in the RfA. While I don't regret my oppose, I do regret the less than ideal wording, so I apologise for that. I do have confidence that you will be a good admin. I also have respect for the tactful way you criticised badgering of opposes. — Charles Stewart (talk) 19:23, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
Sdrqaz, I'm sorry I never completed your review. It looks like you didn't need it though! Congratulations on the successful RfA! Very well done! Real life got in the way, and I was away from Wikipedia for a very long time. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 16:55, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
Sorry if I'm missing something but it's not clear why you have removed the IP address and edit summary here, but done nothing with the edit itself? Having seen the original edit I don't see anything that needs suppressing? Giant Snowman 15:11, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
"IP data of editors who accidentally logged out and thus inadvertently revealed their own IP addresses"(criterion one), and the revision deletion policy allows for the revision deletion of such edits beforehand, I redacted the IP address ( 129667821) and the user's edit summary ( 129667825), then the revision's contents ( 129667910).

Thank you for quality articles such as Shadow docket, The Man Who Died Twice (novel) and 2020 Yonex Thailand Open, for "it would be best to stop disruption through discussion", for offering admin help and "a healthy dollop of introspection", - user liking elephants, you are an awesome Wikipedian!
You are recipient no. 2727 of Precious, a prize of QAI. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:14, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Sdrqaz,
Just a piece of advice, when I delete pages I use Twinkle to do so. One reason is that, after a page has been deleted, Twinkle has an "unlink" feature that, if you select it, will unlink all of the places where the page title has been linked to on the project. It won't remove the mentions (though XFDCloser does) but it will make sure that there aren't any red links leftover from a page deletion. When I saw this particular page was deleted, I also saw that the page creator had added the article to other articles on autism so I removed those mentions either by removing the page from the See Also section or by unlinking it in the body of the article. I don't use the unlink option with every deletion, it's unlikely that a category or draft page will be linked anywhere else but it's useful to do when you delete pages in the main space of the project because editors are encouraged to crosslink articles.
When Twinkle unlinks the title, it also lists the pages where the deleted page title appeared so you can take the next step of going to some of those pages and removing the mention completely. For example, let's say that I deleted a page titled "Alison Williams (actress)" and on the unlink list, there is the page "Williams (surname)", then I know that Alison Williams was listed on the page as a famous person with the Williams last name so I can go to that page and remove the mention of her page which is easy to spot now because the mention will not longer be an active link so no brackets surrounding it. I hope this helps! Liz Read! Talk! 23:31, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Firstly, congrats on your RfA passing, but I just noticed that you closed an admin help template with the helped parameter instead of the answered parameter. Kind Regards, Zippybonzo | talk 13:57, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Is allowed, yes, but attribution is required. And when the article is a word-for-word copy of the existing draft ( Draft:SSSPM J0829-1309), there is no good reason for it's independent existence. If one particularly insists (and one disagreed with the rejection on notability grounds), the draft should have been moved to mainspace instead of copying without attribution. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 16:28, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
"the draft should have been moved to mainspace instead of copying without attribution", that's an issue for education, not deletion. G12 is not for compatible free licences (and Wikipedia itself obviously is one). I know that attribution is required, but reparations of insufficient attribution can be accomplished without deleting the copy and without flouting G12. Among other methods, histmerges can be carried out, as I did. See also my explanation to someone else in January. Sdrqaz ( talk) 17:06, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Template:Royal Belgian Association Football player requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
I'd wished this file were moved with no redirects
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.
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". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Dr Salvus 23:09, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, sorry to bother you. I was wondering if you could merge the history from Draft:Ice Age: Scrat Tales to Ice Age: Scrat Tales. Someone performed a copy-and-paste move before the draft reviewer could accept it. SlySabre ( talk) 18:00, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
If I am wrong then tell me why it took so long for nominating the deletion process of the Article Shubhra Gupta and Collin D'Cunha? Because if the article had violated the guidelines why it should keep in mainspace with wikidata item? I don't think both articles has some unauthentic content and violation edits!!!

Hi. Regarding that page in Icelandic: Apparently you believe that every time I come across a page that isn't tagged for deletion but that qualifies for speedy deletion,
I still am not aware of what had been done, before my tagging of the page, to arrange for the page to be deleted, even though the author's comments qualified it for G7. Even if something had, behind the scenes, been arranged with an administrator, it hardly caused any harm for me to tag it. Your scolding was unwarranted and, honestly, baffling. Your expectation as to to the lengths editors should go through before posting a warranted deletion tag is unrealistic. Largoplazo ( talk) 01:24, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
"A page is eligible for speedy deletion only if all of its history is also eligible."Taggers and administrators are also instructed in Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion § Introduction to criteria to
"review the page history to make sure that all earlier revisions of the page meet the speedy deletion criterion".When you tagged the page, there were three revisions in the page history. The second one had an edit summary of
"Please delete article!"and had written
"Please delete, I meant to start this article at Icelandic Wikipedia...", commented out, in the article itself.You're correct that a tag had not been added to the page to arrange for its deletion, so thank you. However, it would be better for everyone involved if the tag were the most appropriate one and giving the author unnecessary notifications were avoided – it's distressing for some new users to get the orange bar of doom, but luckily in this instance he was highly experienced.My expectations of others is enshrined in policy.

Which page is now the foundation of the Rise of the TMNT Movie page? I’m beginning to think the manner you went about this was wrong-- CreecregofLife ( talk) 00:32, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
"foundation"page? If we look at the history of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, I noted that the
"revisions prior to 11:41, 30 April 2022 were formerly at Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie (2022)". History merges are usually done to resolve copyright issues (see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia § Repairing cut-and-paste moves of a page), and in this instance, a user had difficulty moving a draft into the mainspace because there was a redirect already in place.Instead of requesting at WP:RMTR or tagging the page with {{ db-move}}, they moved it to a "wrong" title ( Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie (2022)), then cut-and-pasted the material to the "right" title. The issue with that is there were other authors that needed attribution, so I carried out a history merge. You can think about it as taping together a piece of paper that's been torn in two, or sewing back the arm of a teddy bear. Sdrqaz ( talk) 01:27, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I know from the declination of the CSD A-10 request of the mainspace article, and the histmerge request of the draft, that I used the wrong processes. I just don't know what to do in this case and tried to follow what I believed is the best. I'm sorry for messing things up. Now, can you please help me out with what process to follow? The mainspace article appears to be largely a copy of draft article, given that every single citation and the info in it is the same. The draft wasn't attributed to either. Meanwhile, this article simply doesn't belong in mainspace. Delgado will leave Congress according to New York's Governor. But when? It can be tomorrow, or 3 months later or simply after the current term is over triggering no special election at all. New York's special election law states that vacancies after July, are NOT to be filled by special election. So far, there is no official indication or confirmation from the candidate or his office that vacancy would occur anytime before that. This article relies on speculation by political WP:crystal balls and is itself a crystal ball too. It's a WP:FUTUREEVENT with no indication that it'll actually happen. It's just WP:TOOSOON to be on mainspace. Your help to fix the unattributed copy and draftifying it would be appreciated. Thanks! — CX Zoom[he/him] ( let's talk • { C• X}) 14:36, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
"[a]ll articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred. It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced."This seems to be the case here. I would suggest redirecting the draft to the article and merging any extra information over, with an edit summary noting that it came from the draft to retain attribution. Unfortunately, a history merge here would shuffle the two histories together, rendering the merged one unintelligible. Sdrqaz ( talk) 03:44, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

In the US, low-alcohol and non-alcohol mean the same thing, which is confusing for people outside the US. As you can imagine, alcohol laws (or their vestiges) in the US, have lots of problems.

The RfA process is a shitty one and I hate opposing even at the best of times, doubly so when the motive for my oppose is not actual concern that the candidate lacks what it takes to be an admin but the meta concern that a bona fide issue isn't being taken seriously in the RfA. While I don't regret my oppose, I do regret the less than ideal wording, so I apologise for that. I do have confidence that you will be a good admin. I also have respect for the tactful way you criticised badgering of opposes. — Charles Stewart (talk) 19:23, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Sdrqaz,
Just a piece of advice, when I delete pages I use Twinkle to do so. One reason is that, after a page has been deleted, Twinkle has an "unlink" feature that, if you select it, will unlink all of the places where the page title has been linked to on the project. It won't remove the mentions (though XFDCloser does) but it will make sure that there aren't any red links leftover from a page deletion. When I saw this particular page was deleted, I also saw that the page creator had added the article to other articles on autism so I removed those mentions either by removing the page from the See Also section or by unlinking it in the body of the article. I don't use the unlink option with every deletion, it's unlikely that a category or draft page will be linked anywhere else but it's useful to do when you delete pages in the main space of the project because editors are encouraged to crosslink articles.
When Twinkle unlinks the title, it also lists the pages where the deleted page title appeared so you can take the next step of going to some of those pages and removing the mention completely. For example, let's say that I deleted a page titled "Alison Williams (actress)" and on the unlink list, there is the page "Williams (surname)", then I know that Alison Williams was listed on the page as a famous person with the Williams last name so I can go to that page and remove the mention of her page which is easy to spot now because the mention will not longer be an active link so no brackets surrounding it. I hope this helps! Liz Read! Talk! 23:31, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Is allowed, yes, but attribution is required. And when the article is a word-for-word copy of the existing draft ( Draft:SSSPM J0829-1309), there is no good reason for it's independent existence. If one particularly insists (and one disagreed with the rejection on notability grounds), the draft should have been moved to mainspace instead of copying without attribution. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 16:28, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
"the draft should have been moved to mainspace instead of copying without attribution", that's an issue for education, not deletion. G12 is not for compatible free licences (and Wikipedia itself obviously is one). I know that attribution is required, but reparations of insufficient attribution can be accomplished without deleting the copy and without flouting G12. Among other methods, histmerges can be carried out, as I did. See also my explanation to someone else in January. Sdrqaz ( talk) 17:06, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Regarding that page in Icelandic: Apparently you believe that every time I come across a page that isn't tagged for deletion but that qualifies for speedy deletion,
I still am not aware of what had been done, before my tagging of the page, to arrange for the page to be deleted, even though the author's comments qualified it for G7. Even if something had, behind the scenes, been arranged with an administrator, it hardly caused any harm for me to tag it. Your scolding was unwarranted and, honestly, baffling. Your expectation as to to the lengths editors should go through before posting a warranted deletion tag is unrealistic. Largoplazo ( talk) 01:24, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
"A page is eligible for speedy deletion only if all of its history is also eligible."Taggers and administrators are also instructed in Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion § Introduction to criteria to
"review the page history to make sure that all earlier revisions of the page meet the speedy deletion criterion".When you tagged the page, there were three revisions in the page history. The second one had an edit summary of
"Please delete article!"and had written
"Please delete, I meant to start this article at Icelandic Wikipedia...", commented out, in the article itself.You're correct that a tag had not been added to the page to arrange for its deletion, so thank you. However, it would be better for everyone involved if the tag were the most appropriate one and giving the author unnecessary notifications were avoided – it's distressing for some new users to get the orange bar of doom, but luckily in this instance he was highly experienced.My expectations of others is enshrined in policy.

Which page is now the foundation of the Rise of the TMNT Movie page? I’m beginning to think the manner you went about this was wrong-- CreecregofLife ( talk) 00:32, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
"foundation"page? If we look at the history of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, I noted that the
"revisions prior to 11:41, 30 April 2022 were formerly at Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie (2022)". History merges are usually done to resolve copyright issues (see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia § Repairing cut-and-paste moves of a page), and in this instance, a user had difficulty moving a draft into the mainspace because there was a redirect already in place.Instead of requesting at WP:RMTR or tagging the page with {{ db-move}}, they moved it to a "wrong" title ( Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie (2022)), then cut-and-pasted the material to the "right" title. The issue with that is there were other authors that needed attribution, so I carried out a history merge. You can think about it as taping together a piece of paper that's been torn in two, or sewing back the arm of a teddy bear. Sdrqaz ( talk) 01:27, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I know from the declination of the CSD A-10 request of the mainspace article, and the histmerge request of the draft, that I used the wrong processes. I just don't know what to do in this case and tried to follow what I believed is the best. I'm sorry for messing things up. Now, can you please help me out with what process to follow? The mainspace article appears to be largely a copy of draft article, given that every single citation and the info in it is the same. The draft wasn't attributed to either. Meanwhile, this article simply doesn't belong in mainspace. Delgado will leave Congress according to New York's Governor. But when? It can be tomorrow, or 3 months later or simply after the current term is over triggering no special election at all. New York's special election law states that vacancies after July, are NOT to be filled by special election. So far, there is no official indication or confirmation from the candidate or his office that vacancy would occur anytime before that. This article relies on speculation by political WP:crystal balls and is itself a crystal ball too. It's a WP:FUTUREEVENT with no indication that it'll actually happen. It's just WP:TOOSOON to be on mainspace. Your help to fix the unattributed copy and draftifying it would be appreciated. Thanks! — CX Zoom[he/him] ( let's talk • { C• X}) 14:36, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
"[a]ll articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred. It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced."This seems to be the case here. I would suggest redirecting the draft to the article and merging any extra information over, with an edit summary noting that it came from the draft to retain attribution. Unfortunately, a history merge here would shuffle the two histories together, rendering the merged one unintelligible. Sdrqaz ( talk) 03:44, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
