Your RFA has been closed as successful; well done. I would encourage you to read through the bureaucrat chat for thoughts regarding your RfA. You may also want to look at the admin guide to read up on any tools you are unfamiliar with. Please let us know if you have any questions or issues. Primefac ( talk) 18:05, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
The admin baton | |
Congratulations on becoming Wikipedia's newest administrator! You have a proven track record of picking up new tools, but if you have any questions or want some commiseration, I'm here for you. This baton is heavier than it looks, and it is not redeemable for any cash value. Here's hoping you can pass it along soon. Please see the traditional inscription below:
Tamzin started this tradition to recognize DanCherek for his bravery in ending the three-month drought that began with the conclusion of her own acrimonious RfA. It serves as a reminder that, despite dramas petty and grand, we work together to build an encyclopedia—and serves to recognize those who subject themselves to a nerve-wracking and often unfair process out of their dedication to this project. You, holding this baton, are saluted by all its past holders. Thank you. Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 19:16, 8 August 2023 (UTC) |

Well I was going to post this in the thread you already archived lol
I give you kudos for several reasons. First, you saw before this all started what most of the concerns were likely to be, and you were willing to step into the ring anyway. And once there, I think you handled yourself well. Question-answers were a bit shakey at times, but they typically are for everyone. This isn't an easy roller coaster.
And the threads that looked like they could go in a disruptive direction mostly didn't for various reasons. Though overall, it really just seemed like most didn't really want to attack you - which I think has a lot more to do with your character, and how you handle yourself.
Oh, and I think someone left this laying around, you might as well have it:
Such an odd tradition, so, of course I'm continuing it... lol.
All-in-all, well done. Good luck with the extra tools and responsibilities. And congrats : ) - jc37 20:52, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Shiny new tools might be used to mete out justice, mercy or a dose of reality. Let us commit to not losing our cool when using them. Our only armor is the entire community's trust. We wear it for each other, each new contributor, and each new generation to come. May you ever be the community's trusted champion. BusterD ( talk) 02:26, 9 August 2023 (UTC) |

it has begun... 14:02, 9 August 2023 (UTC)I wish you well with the new tools, and congrats on the most interesting RfA for a long time. As an almost exclusive content creator I recognise the value of admins who do the things I don't particularly want to do, or can't do myself. I sympathise on the edit summary thing as I see so many that are a complete waste of keystrokes, and found most of your replies to questions refreshingly candid.

For becoming an admin and immediately using your tools to get rid of the WT:CFDW backlog. Bravo. CLYDE TALK TO ME/ STUFF DONE (I will not see your reply if you don't mention me) 02:06, 9 August 2023 (UTC) |
Hello, Pppery,
First, congratulations on the RfA! I wasn't even aware of RfAs going on so I'm sorry to have missed participating in this.
I had a question I hope you can help me with. Tonight, I relisted 7 or 8 different AFD discussions. They were crossed out on the 8/10/23 AFD daily log but not pasted into the 8/17/23 AFD page so I cut and pasted them in. But what I'm concerned about is whether this has happened with other closers and that AFD discussions have gotten "lost" and not reposted. I've noticed that you frequently find AFDs that have fallen through the cracks so could you do a query or whatever you do to make sure that all AFDs that are still open are on a daily log from the past 7 days? I posted a comment about this on the XFDcloser talk page but I'm not sure how well that is monitored. Thanks for any help you can provide. Liz Read! Talk! 03:29, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
I was doing the following steps:
But when I declined the draft, it added the AFC decline to a redirect. I had not expected that, but you had already done the history merge.
You must have been in the category of history-merge requests when I tagged it. The community and the crats said we needed technical admins. Robert McClenon ( talk) 15:51, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
As the following is unsolicited feedback, I appreciate any consideration: regarding this comment, it sounds somewhat unkind to me. I suggest it might be more collaborative to reword it a bit. Again, thanks in advance for your time, and for your efforts in working on administrative tasks. isaacl ( talk) 21:39, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
I declined your G4 speedy deletion proposal. The article is too different from the deleted version, and of the sources in the current revision, a couple of them look like they may meet WP:CORP requirements. You may want to take this to AFD again, for a third time. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 18:54, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
I understood the idiom as innocuous, but - and this is merely a suggestion - but since idioms and civility were not tangently a part of the recent case, I might suggest treading a bit more lightly concerning the editors in question. YMMV of course.
That aside, I just wanted to say that, you've been lighting up my watchlist for awhile now. It looks like that you having the admin tools has pretty much turned out to be a positive. I'm glad that it's seemed to turn out useful for you. - jc37 03:56, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

It's okay for you to implement the closure even if you were involved in the discussion, as the closer is the one assessing consensus. Qwerfjkl talk 21:39, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Pppery,
You are such a technical whiz, Pppery, I'm hoping you can help me with a weird glitch. Gunnel Adlercreutz is appearing in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion by user even though it isn't tagged for speedy deletion. I looked through all of the content on the page and can't see anything that might be causing it to appear in a CSD category. I purged the cache on both the article page and the category page but no luck. Sometimes strange stuff like this can happen when pages are merged but I can't see evidence that this happened. Can you see anything that might be causing this article to appear as if the page creator was requesting it to be deleted? Thanks, in advance, for your help. Liz Read! Talk! 21:00, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I see that I missed your RFA – one which I certainly would have supported. Congratulations in being awarded the mop and toolkit.
I applaud your getting stuck in, and your expressed intention to initially confine your admin work to areas that you know well. I also note with approval your willingness to take a break when you need it. If you haven't registered it already, WP:DGAF is a crudely-expressed motto but it's an approach that has helped me to stay balanced. You know you do good work here; just carry on with it, when it suits you.
It's particularly good to have another admin sharing the workload at CFD. Feel free to ping me if ever you would value some advice from an old hand in that area. – Fayenatic London 10:58, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
It's been a year since I suggested you run for RfA, and that seems to have gone well (or, at least, ended well). I'm back asking you to be the change you wish to see in the world (or, at least, wished to see a week ago). WP:BN and the instructions are thataway. House Blaster talk 02:43, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello, only 3 editors contributed to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_September_10#Category:Secret_Six and there was no policy-based reason for keeping. "It's important" is not a reason for keeping. Instead of closing, could you relist the discussion to get an actual consensus?-- User:Namiba 13:23, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
ideological claims not based on sources- one of them even explicitly cited sources. Anyway, this line of argument is not going to convince me to change my close. Take it to DRV if you really have to. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:04, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
limited participationat CfD's scale. Let's suppose I were to overturn my close and relist this now. Amakuru said above that he would !vote keep. Do you really expect enough uninvolved users to show up to produce a consensus to merge, or are you just trying to waste everyone's time proving a point. I've said twice already that I'm not going to overturn this close, and you have not come any closer to convincing me otherwise. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:22, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
@ Namiba: Regarding Riize's article, I actually did copy and paste for a draft that existed at the time. I had been working on that draft since May/June earlier this year. The draft was rejected saying the subject was not yet notable around the start of August, but then a new article started for them immediately after that was seemingly approved, but lacked alot of the information I had. So I copied and pasted the draft to the new article. Is there a way you could merge the histories? - K-popguardian ( talk) 04:29, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick histmerge. It looks the content was also copy and pasted into and out of 4-Me-aMT briefly. I think this should be merged in as well, ideally? Thanks for taking a look. Mdewman6 ( talk) 22:23, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
I seem to have messed up the formatting here, and rather than continuing to guess at it I figured I should ask someone who actually knows what he's doing. Any suggestions? Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 22:50, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
{{#switch:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{ns:2}}=|

). Other than that it looks fine. While we're at it, the "Other reason" entry should probably be removed, not only because we shouldn't be encouraging nonstandard deletion reasons, but because there's also a built-in "other reason" entry above the standard dropdown.

Is there an RfC officially deprecating this interlanguage page? My concern is that it still shows up prominently in interlanguage links and still gets occasional use. Another problem is why are there two embassy pages? One called Wikipedia:Embassy and another called Wikipedia:Local Embassy? One could be merged into the other maybe...

Hello Pppery, Moom was deleted about 7 hours after my post, and it got one response, but it was not for the target of Múm, the Icelandic band. Let me know what you suggest - either I can recreate the page as a redirect to Múm, or you can reopen the RfD for some days. Múm was in the hatnote of the Moom article in the past, so it can be seen as a redirect candidate since the article about the British band was deleted. Jay 💬 06:34, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
