CopyPatrol had a report about the initial edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Purna_Chandra_Mukhopadhyay&oldid=972288176

Hi. Is there a way to substitute article name in talkpage automatically? I want to substitute article's name on talkpage. How can we do that? Template:BASEPAGENAME substitutes Talk:XYX, but I want to substitute article name on the talkpage. Reason: I closed Talk:List of Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles of 2020#Requested move 5 August 2020. I can move the pages manually without any problem. But not sure how to add template:Old RM to all the talkpages. I have already created an AWB list of all the affected talkpages. The only variable parameters in old RM template are "from", and "destination". Not sure how to handle them. Any ideas? Another solution is to skip the adding of old RM altogether. What do you think? —usernamekiran (talk) 14:10, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
Hello, just wanted to let you know that in PrimeBOT's recent edit of WDYR-CD, it removed the tail end of a citation. My uneducated guess is that it was something to do with a pipe symbol. No big deal, it's fixed, just a heads-up in case this is a recurring issue. Cheers! Jessicapierce ( talk) 03:37, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
To complete the work at Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio Stations/2020 infobox redesign proposal, I would like to request PrimeBOT to run so some parameters can be changed over that are temporarily supported in old and new variants, and to carry out some additional fixes:
Before | After |
---|---|
image | logo |
image_size | logo_size |
alt | logo_alt |
last airdate | last_airdate |
Before | After |
---|---|
call_letters | callsign |
enddate | last_airdate |
HAAT | haat |
effective_radiated_power | erp |
station_branding | branding |
station_logo | logo |
station_slogan | slogan |
other_chs | translators |
call_letters | name |

Can you reconsider the closure statement/outcome of Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 August 9#Template:R from how-to name? I'm surprised you claim to "understand the rationale" yet proceed to say "Deleting the template will not delete the redirects or change policy." As I said in the very discussion, the rationale isn't that the redirects shouldn't exist, but that regardless of whether we think they should exist, the template is superfluous as the cost outweighs the benefit. So the discussion at VPP has no bearing on the TfD. While it is true that the rationale was not adequately addressed by the participants so a no-consensus outcome would be appropriate if you were to close it now, I don't understand why "revisiting this discussion" should wait for "if consensus determines to eliminate this grouping". That was not the rationale. Nardog ( talk) 23:49, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

In particular, please note my 20:39, 28 August 2020 (UTC) posting there, in which I noted that the content from the https://www.abbreviations.com/ZSCALER site predates the content appearing on the Zscaler article. Thus, it wasn't copied from Wikipedia, but rather the content here was copied from there. Also of note: I have a newly constructed (and without copyrighted content) replacement for the article at Draft:Zscaler. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 00:38, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

I just noticed that Template:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation was folded under Template:WikiProject New York City back in MAR 14 (see Template talk:WikiProject New York City#Protected edit request on 28 February 2014). However it appears that Template:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation still has ≈150 transclusions. I suspect this is because conversion has been executed manually on an ad hoc basis over the years. As with the last bot run I requested it is not possible to convert the template to a wrapper and have AnomieBOT take care of things without creating duplicates (e.g. Talk:Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department).

Relatedly I noticed a bug in last run (see Special:Diff/943458578) in case it hasn't already been brought to your attention.
I should be around again some time before the 3rd, so if you don't catch me today I'll try to respond to any questions by then; thanks for your help. (please ping on reply)
Thought I'd drop a friendly note that per discussion on WikiProject Former countries a bot run will likely be needed to complete the merge of Template:WikiProject Former countries and Template:WikiProject Ottoman Empire. I anticipate making the formal request once the template work is complete some time between the 18th and 31st. I figured more advanced notice is better so you can more easily work this into your schedule. If you have any questions feel free to ask, and if you have a preferred window of time please let me know, thanks. (please ping on reply)

I noticed another
WPNYC taskforce, namely
WikiProject New York City/Theatre where the template merge was not fully implemented. So PrimeBOT is needed for the merge, at least for the duplicates.
Template:WikiProject New York City has already been updated so you can start the run at your convenience; Parameters are |theatre=yes
and |theatre-importance=foo
, if you have a little extra time I'd also appreciate it if you would wrapperize
Template:WikiProject New York Theatre at the conclusion of the run, but if not I can get around to it. Feel free to ping if you have any questions and thanks for your ongoing help.
So I was about to write up an RFP request to remove protection from Template:WikiProject Ottoman Empire when I went back to check the page history and noticed that you were the sysop that protected it; since you are currently active I believe courtesy dictates I discuss this with you personally.
The previous justification for TPROT doesn't seem to apply any longer since it is no longer HIGHRISK; having read the ECPGUIDE and SEMIGUIDE I don't think lower levels of protection can be justified under policy either. While it's unlikely to need much future editing, it's equally, if not even more unlikely that an obscure wrapper will be chosen as a target for spam, vandalism, or other such nonsense. I'll defer to your judgement, however it is my recommendation that the template be unprotected at this time.

I had an idea recently about the suppression templates and wanted to bring it to your attention because you've helped create those templates. My discussion is here. I posted there at first, not realizing that {{ Uw-selfinfo}} and others also used the same image. I have already changed the image on the {{ suppressed}} template but I am interested to see if there are other ideas, as I think the original yellow smiley face does a much better job of getting young users' attention than the blue letter "i" that just looks like every other message they've seen.

Can I get PrimeBOT to remove any instances, blank and populated, of these parameters from {{ Infobox television channel}}:
|dummy parameter=
|terr avail=
|cable avail=
|sat avail=
|3gmobile serv 1=
and to convert
|adsl serv 1=
(numbers up to 20) and |adsl chan 1=
(numbers up to 20)
to
|iptv serv 1=
(numbers up to 20) and |iptv chan 1=
(numbers up to 20)
The parameters for removal have not been supported, mostly since December 28, 2005 (!!), and continue to be present in quite a few articles, and in the "avail" cases, populated by dozens of pages (something like 90 pages populated for |terr avail=
). This should help remove some pages from the tracking category and also prevent pages from creeping into it. More cleanup will wait until after the revamp I have an RfC on, but this is part of a parallel effort to reduce unknown parameter calls.

Hi Primefac. I figured I'd asked you about this because you're quite knowlegable about templates, etc. It seems that quite a number of portals have been set up to include blurbs (usually the leads) of articles and this seems to be being done mostly by template transclusion. In many cases the transclusion includes the infobox image which sometimes turns out to be
non-free content. Since non-free content isn't supposed to be being used in the portal namespace per
WP:NFCC#9, such files are generally flag for review by a bot. Cleaning this up when the image is directly added to portal page is quite simple because all you need to do is remove the image syntax. Things are a bit trickier when the image is being transcluded, however, and in such cases I often add <noinclude></noinclude>
syntax to the article where the image is being used. This seems to work, but I'm never whether it's the best solution to this problem.
The latest example I came across was File:The Wild Bunch.JPG. It was being transcluded into Portal:1960s, most likely as part of the transclusion of The Wild Bunch. I seemed to have resolved the problem for now, but I'm wondering whether there's a way to somehow stop all portals from including non-free images when they transclude articles.
Apparently using template transclusion for portals was agreed upon here but nothing in that discussion seems to make mention of non-free content transclusion (it probably never crossed anyone's mind). Maybe there's a way to tweak the syntax in some way at the portal's end that doesn't involve adding "noinclude" to individual article infoboxes? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:12, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Primefac, reading through your closing statement, I can't help but wonder if it could use some clarification. I think your intent was to write that Boing's proposal, BlueMoonset's proposal, and mine, all had consensus; but as written, it isn't clear that the wording of my proposal was that any independent reviewer could veto The C of E's hooks without further discussion, which is not usually the case at DYK, in that extended discussion and appeal is permitted. I see that The C of E has said he intends to appeal, but regardless, it would help to clarify what he is appealing. Vanamonde ( Talk) 22:47, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello Primefac! Please I'll like to plead on the behalf of User:Mbagwu francisca whose account was blocked by you due to continuous vandal/spam/EF issues. She is quite a new volunteer who joined wikipedia five months ago and haven't made any edit until recently when she wanted to make an edit. Given she's a new volunteer, she was not aware same wikipedia account can be used across multiple Wikimedia projects. So she was attempting to create another one, as claimed when her account was blocked by you.
Please do unblock her account and I'll do well to guide her in her subsequent activities on wikipedia. Thanks for your understanding. Ptinphusmia ( talk) 21:56, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Okay, so I only just came across this discussion, after I moved the article into the mainspace. However, I stand by my move. It makes zero sense to have a Season 2 article and not a Season 1 one, based only on the fact of the similarity of content, which can be (and now has been) trimmed down after the split. TVSPLIT also actually supports this split, in how the article contains season-specific content and is not just an episode and ratings table with one or two reviews. The article also completely passes GNG. -- / Alex/ 21 23:53, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Hey! Wired wrote an article about your close of the Fox News RFC and determined Wikipedia declared Fox News isn't a reliable source. Can you confirm whether that is an accurate portrayal of your close or not? And if not, would you write the author of that article?--v/r - T P 06:45, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
In an aggressive move that is anything but sitting backit's fairly accurate towards the close itself.

Primefac ( talk) 09:22, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
for science and political referencing there is no consensus regarding the reliability of Fox News, and it should be used with caution to verify contentious claims. For other subjects Fox News is generally considered reliable.There's already been follow up discussions at at RSP's talk page and I think the matter has been put firmly to bed, pending any new discussions on Fox's reliability. signed, Rosguill talk 23:31, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Primefac, although obviously a speedy close was warranted, and I supported as much myself, I'm going to have to protest at your statement that "The only reason why this moratorium should be lifted is if the sponsors/officials/countries change their official naming scheme". That expressly flouts Wikipedia's WP:COMMONNAME policy, as explained also at WP:OFFICIALNAMES. We do not go by what the "sponsors" or "officials" call it, we go by what a majority of reliable sources say. To prohibit a further request unless the official name is changed runs counter to that. Obviously nobody has a WP:CRYSTALBALL here, but I'm sceptical that the media will continue calling it the "2020 Olympics" if it actually goes ahead next year. Could I please request you to soften that stipulation in some way? Maybe just give it a time-limited moratorium, so we can re-evaluate when the event is much closer.

Hello Primefac! I am compiling a list of editors willing to be pinged to the Teahouse, intended to be used by regulars to solicit assistance from editors with area-specific expertise when needed, most importantly when a post is about to get archived without answers (happens rarely but often enough).

By the way, can I ask how do you deal with multiple infoboxes on an article? eg re task 18, that regex alone would also match another infobox [3]. Do you tend to do the replace in two stages (eg find all relevant infoboxes, do replacements inside, replace said infobox with replaced infobox) or some other way? Reason for Q is I'm wondering how I can best deal with this issue in ProcBot. ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 15:15, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to trouble you, but as I noticed your previous fix to the "is/was" issue on Live from Here, and was looking up prescedent and MOS, you reverted my own change.
I was looking at other radio shows from the past. Obviously, ones that are presently broadcast all used "is", but the examples that I pulled up such as Bing Crosby Entertains, Hollywood Star Time (interview program), Kevin and Bean, Shell Chateau, London After Dark all use "was". I did find Gene Autry's Melody Ranch, which finished broadcast in 1956, and uses "is". Not sure if its just a fluke, though.
I was about to add a comment in-line that said "if you refer to still-available podcast versions of the show, use 'is', but when referring to the primary radio broadcast, use 'was'", but obviously you know something that I don't. I looked in the MOS and can't find anything that clearly defines radio as a permanent 'is' subject. Can you help me find the line so that I can reference it in future and maybe use it to update articles such as the ones I referenced above? Thanks a lot :) EmotionlessProsecutor ( talk) 01:11, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
By default, write articles in the present tense, including ... works that have been discontinued.. I'm a little surprised you didn't see that A Prairie Home Companion uses "is" while you were looking things up. I do admit that the wording and meaning of PRESENT should probably be clarified, as LfH and APHC still "exist" they're not "active" (as well as Earth: Final Conflict, which is used as an example at PRESENT).

You have not commented in any way at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1989 Portuguese Armed Forces order of battle, but you jumped in to protect user:Fram from criticism. Instead of allowing Fram and the other involved editors to comment on it, you demand this must be escalated immediately to ANI. Why? Fram's deletion request is frivolous and his behaviour disruptive, but it is (in my view) not an incident that needs admin intervention to resolve (at least not until the starts dozens of AfDs for the articles he insists must be deleted against the opinions and arguments of all other editors involved in the current AfD).

Can you reconsider the closure statement/outcome of Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 August 9#Template:R from how-to name? I'm surprised you claim to "understand the rationale" yet proceed to say "Deleting the template will not delete the redirects or change policy." As I said in the very discussion, the rationale isn't that the redirects shouldn't exist, but that regardless of whether we think they should exist, the template is superfluous as the cost outweighs the benefit. So the discussion at VPP has no bearing on the TfD. While it is true that the rationale was not adequately addressed by the participants so a no-consensus outcome would be appropriate if you were to close it now, I don't understand why "revisiting this discussion" should wait for "if consensus determines to eliminate this grouping". That was not the rationale. Nardog ( talk) 23:49, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I just noticed that Template:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation was folded under Template:WikiProject New York City back in MAR 14 (see Template talk:WikiProject New York City#Protected edit request on 28 February 2014). However it appears that Template:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation still has ≈150 transclusions. I suspect this is because conversion has been executed manually on an ad hoc basis over the years. As with the last bot run I requested it is not possible to convert the template to a wrapper and have AnomieBOT take care of things without creating duplicates (e.g. Talk:Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department).

I noticed another
WPNYC taskforce, namely

Template:WikiProject New York City has already been updated so you can start the run at your convenience; Parameters are |theatre=yes

, if you have a little extra time I'd also appreciate it if you would wrapperize
Template:WikiProject New York Theatre at the conclusion of the run, but if not I can get around to it. Feel free to ping if you have any questions and thanks for your ongoing help.
So I was about to write up an RFP request to remove protection from Template:WikiProject Ottoman Empire when I went back to check the page history and noticed that you were the sysop that protected it; since you are currently active I believe courtesy dictates I discuss this with you personally.
The previous justification for TPROT doesn't seem to apply any longer since it is no longer HIGHRISK; having read the ECPGUIDE and SEMIGUIDE I don't think lower levels of protection can be justified under policy either. While it's unlikely to need much future editing, it's equally, if not even more unlikely that an obscure wrapper will be chosen as a target for spam, vandalism, or other such nonsense. I'll defer to your judgement, however it is my recommendation that the template be unprotected at this time.

Can I get PrimeBOT to remove any instances, blank and populated, of these parameters from {{ Infobox television channel}}:
|dummy parameter=

|adsl serv 1=

The parameters for removal have not been supported, mostly since December 28, 2005 (!!), and continue to be present in quite a few articles, and in the "avail" cases, populated by dozens of pages (something like 90 pages populated for |terr avail=
). This should help remove some pages from the tracking category and also prevent pages from creeping into it. More cleanup will wait until after the revamp I have an RfC on, but this is part of a parallel effort to reduce unknown parameter calls.

Hi Primefac. I figured I'd asked you about this because you're quite knowlegable about templates, etc. It seems that quite a number of portals have been set up to include blurbs (usually the leads) of articles and this seems to be being done mostly by template transclusion. In many cases the transclusion includes the infobox image which sometimes turns out to be
non-free content. Since non-free content isn't supposed to be being used in the portal namespace per
WP:NFCC#9, such files are generally flag for review by a bot. Cleaning this up when the image is directly added to portal page is quite simple because all you need to do is remove the image syntax. Things are a bit trickier when the image is being transcluded, however, and in such cases I often add <noinclude></noinclude>
syntax to the article where the image is being used. This seems to work, but I'm never whether it's the best solution to this problem.
The latest example I came across was File:The Wild Bunch.JPG. It was being transcluded into Portal:1960s, most likely as part of the transclusion of The Wild Bunch. I seemed to have resolved the problem for now, but I'm wondering whether there's a way to somehow stop all portals from including non-free images when they transclude articles.
Apparently using template transclusion for portals was agreed upon here but nothing in that discussion seems to make mention of non-free content transclusion (it probably never crossed anyone's mind). Maybe there's a way to tweak the syntax in some way at the portal's end that doesn't involve adding "noinclude" to individual article infoboxes? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:12, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Primefac, reading through your closing statement, I can't help but wonder if it could use some clarification. I think your intent was to write that Boing's proposal, BlueMoonset's proposal, and mine, all had consensus; but as written, it isn't clear that the wording of my proposal was that any independent reviewer could veto The C of E's hooks without further discussion, which is not usually the case at DYK, in that extended discussion and appeal is permitted.

Hello Primefac! Please I'll like to plead on the behalf of User:Mbagwu francisca whose account was blocked by you due to continuous vandal/spam/EF issues. She is quite a new volunteer who joined wikipedia five months ago and haven't made any edit until recently when she wanted to make an edit. Given she's a new volunteer, she was not aware same wikipedia account can be used across multiple Wikimedia projects. So she was attempting to create another one, as claimed when her account was blocked by you.
Please do unblock her account and I'll do well to guide her in her subsequent activities on wikipedia. Thanks for your understanding. Ptinphusmia ( talk) 21:56, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

The Brilliant Idea Barnstar | |
For your creation of {{ Family name hatnote}}, a brilliant idea that helps standardise a whole swathe of articles, and deals with the complex issue of identity in an unexpected and clever way. Well done!! Tom (LT) ( talk) 03:42, 6 September 2020 (UTC) |
Do you have any idea why in this article, the values of attribute 'തൊഴിൽ' in the infobox seems to show in a straight line instead of two lines? Meaning, it is not appearing in two lines. I checked with many of the templates, but I couldn't find a solution. I also have a doubt if something needs to be done in its CSS file or not. Adithyak1997 ( talk) 07:59, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
I apologise on behalf of User:Brojam who restored it without allowing Draft:Batwoman (season 1) to enter the mainspace. Could you please delete it or perform a round-robin move? -- Kailash29792 (talk) 03:59, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
Okay, so I only just came across this discussion, after I moved the article into the mainspace. However, I stand by my move. It makes zero sense to have a Season 2 article and not a Season 1 one, based only on the fact of the similarity of content, which can be (and now has been) trimmed down after the split. TVSPLIT also actually supports this split, in how the article contains season-specific content and is not just an episode and ratings table with one or two reviews. The article also completely passes GNG. -- / Alex/ 21 23:53, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Primefac, how are you? you recently reverted one of my speedy deletion tag on this Draft:Sir Sainthill Eardley-Wilmot. I requested the speedy deletion under "non-controversial maintenance edit" because similar page already exist under the following title - Sainthill Eardley-Wilmot. Both, draft and the live page are made by the same person. Could you advise how to proceed further into this? - Hatchens ( talk) 02:55, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

@ Primefac: I appreciate the feedback above, and I'm sorry if my prior edits, albeit made in good faith, had been disruptive. I'm aware that I've been too WP:BOLD in my approach, and so I haven't edited the template since 23 August and will not make another edit to the template without the approval of another TE. I'd much appreciate if anyone here could review my proposed changes to the template for their suitability. Thanks all, ‑‑ Neveselbert ( talk · contribs · email) 13:15, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Primefac. Jonesey has since stated on their talk that they are "going to decline" any further requests for comment.

Hey! Wired wrote an article about your close of the Fox News RFC and determined Wikipedia declared Fox News isn't a reliable source. Can you confirm whether that is an accurate portrayal of your close or not? And if not, would you write the author of that article?--v/r - T P 06:45, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
In an aggressive move that is anything but sitting backit's fairly accurate towards the close itself. Most of what is there pertaining to the discussion and the close was said either by me or Lee during the course of talks with the author, and I did my best during our discussions to indicate that we didn't "have it out" for Fox. Primefac ( talk) 09:22, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
for science and political referencing there is no consensus regarding the reliability of Fox News, and it should be used with caution to verify contentious claims. For other subjects Fox News is generally considered reliable.There's already been follow up discussions at at RSP's talk page and I think the matter has been put firmly to bed, pending any new discussions on Fox's reliability. signed, Rosguill talk 23:31, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
Hai it's me again, in order to process this convert; does the mainspace usages(there are 7) are to converted to use {{ Simple horizontal timeline}} ? Or anything else to be done? I think redirect is not possible since they implement different set of parametes.

Hi Primefac, although obviously a speedy close was warranted, and I supported as much myself, I'm going to have to protest at your statement that "The only reason why this moratorium should be lifted is if the sponsors/officials/countries change their official naming scheme". That expressly flouts Wikipedia's WP:COMMONNAME policy, as explained also at WP:OFFICIALNAMES. We do not go by what the "sponsors" or "officials" call it, we go by what a majority of reliable sources say. To prohibit a further request unless the official name is changed runs counter to that. Obviously nobody has a WP:CRYSTALBALL here, but I'm sceptical that the media will continue calling it the "2020 Olympics" if it actually goes ahead next year. Could I please request you to soften that stipulation in some way? Maybe just give it a time-limited moratorium, so we can re-evaluate when the event is much closer.

Hi. Thanks for the comments regarding what needs to be changed on the page I'm creating. Do red carpet interviews that are on YouTube count as reliable, independent sources?

Hello Primefac! I am compiling a list of editors willing to be pinged to the Teahouse, intended to be used by regulars to solicit assistance from editors with area-specific expertise when needed, most importantly when a post is about to get archived without answers (happens rarely but often enough). It is not intended to be a serious commitment to answer all queries; rather it's intended to assure regulars that listed editors may be pinged for help without causing offence or irritation. I have you provisionally listed for OS/Revdel (because you answer most of my OS emails) but I should think you would be overqualified for >50% of the listed areas. Anyway, tldr; I was wondering if you would be interested in being listed. You are of course free to add or remove yourself anytime. I would happily do it for you, also.

By the way, can I ask how do you deal with multiple infoboxes on an article? eg re task 18, that regex alone would also match another infobox [3]. Do you tend to do the replace in two stages (eg find all relevant infoboxes, do replacements inside, replace said infobox with replaced infobox) or some other way? Reason for Q is I'm wondering how I can best deal with this issue in ProcBot. ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 15:15, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to trouble you, but as I noticed your previous fix to the "is/was" issue on Live from Here, and was looking up prescedent and MOS, you reverted my own change.
I was looking at other radio shows from the past. Obviously, ones that are presently broadcast all used "is", but the examples that I pulled up such as Bing Crosby Entertains, Hollywood Star Time (interview program), Kevin and Bean, Shell Chateau, London After Dark all use "was". I did find Gene Autry's Melody Ranch, which finished broadcast in 1956, and uses "is". Not sure if its just a fluke, though.
I was about to add a comment in-line that said "if you refer to still-available podcast versions of the show, use 'is', but when referring to the primary radio broadcast, use 'was'", but obviously you know something that I don't. I looked in the MOS and can't find anything that clearly defines radio as a permanent 'is' subject. Can you help me find the line so that I can reference it in future and maybe use it to update articles such as the ones I referenced above? Thanks a lot :) EmotionlessProsecutor ( talk) 01:11, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
By default, write articles in the present tense, including ... works that have been discontinued.. I'm a little surprised you didn't see that A Prairie Home Companion uses "is" while you were looking things up. I do admit that the wording and meaning of PRESENT should probably be clarified, as LfH and APHC still "exist" they're not "active" (as well as Earth: Final Conflict, which is used as an example at PRESENT).

Primefac, how's it going? I have another bot run request for you. Can we run a bot to correct the formatting, per WP:MOSTIME, of the time field in the college football schedule tables? The bot would need to run through every transclusion of Template:CFB schedule entry and change any instance of "PM" in the time field to "p.m." and the same for "AM" to "a.m." See 2015 Colgate Raiders football team for an example.

You have not commented in any way at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1989 Portuguese Armed Forces order of battle, but you jumped in to protect user:Fram from criticism. Instead of allowing Fram and the other involved editors to comment on it, you demand this must be escalated immediately to ANI. Why? Fram's deletion request is frivolous and his behaviour disruptive, but it is (in my view) not an incident that needs admin intervention to resolve (at least not until the starts dozens of AfDs for the articles he insists must be deleted against the opinions and arguments of all other editors involved in the current AfD). I will not revert you again (3r vs. an admin is a battle no one can win). noclador ( talk) 18:57, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

I was heading down a Cobra Kai rabbithole and noted that the parent article didn't have an active link for the actress Vanessa Rubio. Google however gave me cached content that showed Wikipedia had an article some 9 days ago that's now deleted (by you).

Hello Primefac, I have sent you thanks for protecting the slab city page. It was really getting out of hand and I feel I was being passive aggressive about it, but nobody else was doing anything, so I thank you for taking control of the situation. I hope I am not bothering you with all of the thanks that I sent, it was not meant to be overwhelming.
