Hey, BOZ, I'm done with the content of those issues. If you have any questions, let me know. Daranios ( talk) 22:36, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi there! :) If you've been keeping up at all with my massive list of deleted/redirected D&D articles, I am letting you know that I am finally mostly done constructing it. There are a few more checks that I want to do with it, so either next week or the week after I will finally be moving it into project space so all users can properly benefit from it. :)
Meanwhile, I am letting you know that while I understand that the majority of those former articles are not coming back any time soon, I do have plans for a few of them. Based on your incredible work with the 2nd edition monster list, I am planning to work on the 1st edition monster list to get it restored. Once I am done with the finishing touches on my deletions list, I will move the 1st edition monster list to draft space, and copy your sources as appropriate to each of the monsters in the list. I will also be checking each of the monsters in my list to see if they have independent sources in the redirected article, and if so copy those onto the monster list, and vice versa copy sources from the monster list to the redirected article - I saw you doing this here and there on the redirected articles, but I want to cover every base I can. :) (For a perfect example of what we can do, see how Githyanki was deleted at AFD, I requested it to be restored, added a source and redirected it again, and then you added another source and redirected it again.)
As I do this, I am also going to see what deleted articles have multiple sources on the 2nd edition list, and try to get those articles into draft space so they can be worked on. Once the 1st edition list is complete and ready to be moved into article space, I'm going to see what we can do about getting the OD&D, BD&D, 3E, 3.5, 4E, and 5E lists back! :) We may even have the opportunity to get some of the monster articles back into article space as well, we will see. One thing at a time! BOZ ( talk) 18:03, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
I have a lot less time to work on monsters this week than I expected I would, but still I will be able to make enough progress today on the current phase of my project that I should be able to finish it with no problem next week and move on to working on monsters. :) BOZ ( talk) 16:44, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
I'm getting ready to start working on this today. :) As a first step before I get into comparing sources from the lists and the redirected articles, I moved Lycanthrope and [https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Hag_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)&oldid=1078855315 Hag back from draft into article space, and I plan to update some infoboxes on redirected articles today. :) BOZ ( talk) 18:21, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
OK, it has taken a lot longer than I expected to add/fix infoboxes to all the monster articles! :o But on the bright side, at the rate I've been moving, I should be able to finish that when I come back to it on Monday, which gives me some part of that day and all of Tuesday to finally do some work on the actual lists and getting more sources on the monster articles like you did with Githzerai today. :) BOZ ( talk) 21:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
Just keeping you informed as I go! So the 1st edition list had a total of 4 independent sources out of a total of 75 sources when the AFD was closed as redirect, which is probably why it wasn't deleted instead - it had a total of 186 sources when I was done last week, which means I probably copied more than 100 independent sources from the 2nd edition list! I just worked on the OD&D list this morning at Draft:List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters (1974–76), which had a grand total of 2 citations at the time of its deletion [7] and now has 45 sources, almost all of them independent. :) I will start working on the Basic D&D list shortly, which I may or may not finish today. BOZ ( talk) 17:50, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
I tackled 3rd edition today! For the 3.0 list, its only references were 4 primary sources, and now Draft:List of Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition monsters has 113. :) For the 3.5 list, it had no references at all, but now Draft:List of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition monsters has 95. :) Let's see how far I can get on the 4E and 5E lists by the end of tomorrow, but most likely I think I will be finishing up on these lists next week!

I should have brought this one to your attention sooner! I don't believe it is inappropriate to work on an article post-AFD and pre-merge, but if there is anything more that can be done to improve it, then we can either take it to DRV, or at worse we have better content for the merge when it ultimately happens (which in this case may be a while unless someone really wants to put the work into merging it soon).

Since you argued to keep the article, I thought you might want to know I already exported the most recent version to https://cultural-phenomenons.fandom.com/wiki/Tarring_and_feathering_in_popular_culture so it'd be saved. I was unable to do a full history import since the file size was too large. At times I save articles that are going to be deleted by sticking them over there or other fandoms.

Given the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Metaplot, and that there is nothing to merge, but at the same time you found some sources, could you add a sentence about metaplot, referenced, to campaign setting, then we can soft redirect that article? Seems like the best outcome for now. Right now since the primary article is unreferenced, there is nothing to merge, but if someone just lazily redirects it, you efforts to find some sources will be wasted... PS. Right now, campaign setting doesn't even mention this term, which is another strike against "just redirecting", per WP:EASTEREGG.

An article you recently created,
Locations of The Walking Dead, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
The article seems not done yet and needs some work, notability is unclear. Thank you. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 04:36, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

I went ahead and moved Centaur (Dungeons & Dragons) and Orc (Dungeons & Dragons) back to article space. I feel that they both have enough independent sources, which you found as part of working on the monster list, that they should be workable as articles again. At the very least, I feel that if someone calls for deletion again, they can be merged or redirected into the list rather than deleted again. BOZ ( talk) 14:57, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for your attention to this article. To clarify the situation, this was not an article that started as a draft and was then moved into article space. This was first moved into draft, and then promptly restored to article space, while a deletion discussion was ongoing. I did move this back into draft after the deletion discussion concluded, but it was reverted by an editor who had not realised that the initial draftifying and un-draftifying occurred during the deletion discussion. I waited about a month before restoring the draft again, addressing this at User talk:Liz#Sexton Blake bibliography. I've also raised it with the article's main editor at User talk:Nml25#Sexton Blake bibliography moved to draftspace. This should have been made clear either in the edit/move summaries or on the talk page. Given all this, could you please revert the move into article space and restore the article into draft? Thank you. Onetwothreeip ( talk) 22:38, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Krakoa (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. // Timothy :: talk 15:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
We lost Displacer beast at AFD three years ago (most recent version showing here with limited independent sources), but I am hoping that its appearance in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves will generate some reliable sources for commentary, as is often the case for characters appearing in Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. Keep an eye out for anything like that for displacer beasts or anything else that we can use. :) BOZ ( talk) 00:39, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello TompaDompa and Piotrus! Just wanted to report back that I have " walked the walk" (with some external help) on the topic Tarring and feathering in popular culture as discussed so long ago. I am sure you would have gone about it a different way, but for me having the original list helped with finding sources and more. My way took even more time than I expected, but I think a majority of original content was used, as opposed to 1 % or so. It was a fun project, but I don't expect I'll do something like that again in the near future, but will rather turn to topics closer to my heart. Daranios ( talk) 09:58, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Sorry to bug you with this, but since you've edited this sentence before, I figured you may be a good person to ask for clarification about it. In the article on Mordenkainen, I read: "Mordenkainen's name appeared in certain spells core rulebooks of the game's 3rd edition's as one of the few elements from Greyhawk, even though that was designated as the core setting." Was this supposed to be about "core rulebooks on spells" (which "spells core rulebooks" could be interpreted as), or are there one or more words missing here (as in "certain spells in the core rulebooks")? I don't want to change anything without knowing this. The source cited here gives me a 404 error, so I can't check that either. :(
Also, a more wiki question, I assume that the AD&D 2E Player's Handbook would count as a primary source here and therefore not eligible to cite with respect to this? Some spells already bore Mordenkainen's name before 3E, although I don't recall them being connected to Greyhawk in any way in their PhB text.
Thank you for your time. 86.9.180.72 ( talk) 06:30, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Regarding your comments at the AfD: I'd be happy to work with you to improve/expand the content at The Wheel of Time#Setting. The main obstacle is that most of the readily-available online commentary is aimed at giving context to viewers of the TV series, and topics like Shara have yet to be explored. But I imagine there are academic sources, and Tor.com has done exhaustive series reread articles. I haven't read the entire series, so if you can give me an idea of what key info you think is missing and should be added to the franchise article, and related novels if possible, I can figure it out.

I just worked on the OD&D list this morning at Draft:List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters (1974–76), which had a grand total of 2 citations at the time of its deletion [7] and now has 45 sources, almost all of them independent. :) I will start working on the Basic D&D list shortly, which I may or may not finish today. BOZ ( talk) 17:50, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
I tackled 3rd edition today! For the 3.0 list, its only references were 4 primary sources, and now Draft:List of Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition monsters has 113. :) For the 3.5 list, it had no references at all, but now Draft:List of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition monsters has 95. :) Let's see how far I can get on the 4E and 5E lists by the end of tomorrow, but most likely I think I will be finishing up on these lists next week!

Hey Daranois, I think youre good at finding sources. Do you think you can hunt so we can add at them at the article soon. Was just wondering if this can notable to have its own page and hoping it to survive when someone attempted to delete. Thanks. 2001:4455:30B:6C00:CCFA:EE4F:6C7:789B ( talk) 11:46, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Daranois, I think you're actually good at finding sources. So Ive been improving two neglected articles and planning them to send at GAN. Only if you have time to check whether you can find more book sources that are not yet used for the article Rebecca Chambers (Resident Evil) and Ada Wong. Will appreciate it.

I should have brought this one to your attention sooner! I don't believe it is inappropriate to work on an article post-AFD and pre-merge, but if there is anything more that can be done to improve it, then we can either take it to DRV, or at worse we have better content for the merge when it ultimately happens (which in this case may be a while unless someone really wants to put the work into merging it soon).

Since you argued to keep the article, I thought you might want to know I already exported the most recent version to https://cultural-phenomenons.fandom.com/wiki/Tarring_and_feathering_in_popular_culture so it'd be saved. I was unable to do a full history import since the file size was too large. At times I save articles that are going to be deleted by sticking them over there or other fandoms.

Given the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Metaplot, and that there is nothing to merge, but at the same time you found some sources, could you add a sentence about metaplot, referenced, to campaign setting, then we can soft redirect that article? Seems like the best outcome for now. Right now since the primary article is unreferenced, there is nothing to merge, but if someone just lazily redirects it, you efforts to find some sources will be wasted... PS. Right now, campaign setting doesn't even mention this term, which is another strike against "just redirecting", per WP:EASTEREGG.

Can you provide a url link for https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Jolly_Jumper&type=revision&diff=1108997246&oldid=1108994397&diffmode=source ? Or if its not online, ISBN or ISSN or such? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:42, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
Locations of The Walking Dead, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
The article seems not done yet and needs some work, notability is unclear. Thank you. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 04:36, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

I went ahead and moved Centaur (Dungeons & Dragons) and Orc (Dungeons & Dragons) back to article space. I feel that they both have enough independent sources, which you found as part of working on the monster list, that they should be workable as articles again. At the very least, I feel that if someone calls for deletion again, they can be merged or redirected into the list rather than deleted again. BOZ ( talk) 14:57, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for your attention to this article. To clarify the situation, this was not an article that started as a draft and was then moved into article space. This was first moved into draft, and then promptly restored to article space, while a deletion discussion was ongoing. I did move this back into draft after the deletion discussion concluded, but it was reverted by an editor who had not realised that the initial draftifying and un-draftifying occurred during the deletion discussion. I waited about a month before restoring the draft again, addressing this at User talk:Liz#Sexton Blake bibliography. I've also raised it with the article's main editor at User talk:Nml25#Sexton Blake bibliography moved to draftspace. This should have been made clear either in the edit/move summaries or on the talk page. Given all this, could you please revert the move into article space and restore the article into draft? Thank you. Onetwothreeip ( talk) 22:38, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Krakoa (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. // Timothy :: talk 15:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
We lost Displacer beast at AFD three years ago (most recent version showing here with limited independent sources), but I am hoping that its appearance in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves will generate some reliable sources for commentary, as is often the case for characters appearing in Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. Keep an eye out for anything like that for displacer beasts or anything else that we can use. :) BOZ ( talk) 00:39, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

I opted not to merge by virtue of the fact that it would wind up showing undue emphasis on Flatspace, since no other work is discussed beyond crediting him for the work. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk) 12:27, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Hello TompaDompa and Piotrus! Just wanted to report back that I have " walked the walk" (with some external help) on the topic Tarring and feathering in popular culture as discussed so long ago. I am sure you would have gone about it a different way, but for me having the original list helped with finding sources and more. My way took even more time than I expected, but I think a majority of original content was used, as opposed to 1 % or so. It was a fun project, but I don't expect I'll do something like that again in the near future, but will rather turn to topics closer to my heart. Daranios ( talk) 09:58, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Sorry to bug you with this, but since you've edited this sentence before, I figured you may be a good person to ask for clarification about it. In the article on Mordenkainen, I read: "Mordenkainen's name appeared in certain spells core rulebooks of the game's 3rd edition's as one of the few elements from Greyhawk, even though that was designated as the core setting." Was this supposed to be about "core rulebooks on spells" (which "spells core rulebooks" could be interpreted as), or are there one or more words missing here (as in "certain spells in the core rulebooks")? I don't want to change anything without knowing this. The source cited here gives me a 404 error, so I can't check that either. :(
Also, a more wiki question, I assume that the AD&D 2E Player's Handbook would count as a primary source here and therefore not eligible to cite with respect to this? Some spells already bore Mordenkainen's name before 3E, although I don't recall them being connected to Greyhawk in any way in their PhB text.
Thank you for your time. 86.9.180.72 ( talk) 06:30, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Regarding your comments at the AfD: I'd be happy to work with you to improve/expand the content at The Wheel of Time#Setting. The main obstacle is that most of the readily-available online commentary is aimed at giving context to viewers of the TV series, and topics like Shara have yet to be explored. But I imagine there are academic sources, and Tor.com has done exhaustive series reread articles. I haven't read the entire series, so if you can give me an idea of what key info you think is missing and should be added to the franchise article, and related novels if possible, I can figure it out.
