Hello, Primefac. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " List of municipal flags in Italy".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗ plicit 23:43, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi - with this when you removed me (and others) from the AFC list of participants, it seems I lost access to the AFCH tool. Everytime I visit my user page I get an "AFCH Error User Not Listed" popup message. No amount of cache clearing or use of other browsers or devices seems to resolve the problem. Can I re-add my name to the list to see if that will resolve the problem? Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 01:02, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Primefac,
I noticed that you rejected some CSD's for empty Portal:Current Events Talk Pages which I nominated. My thinking is that since the pages were created as a result of spam/vandalism, and are now empty, they do not need to be kept. Could you advise if my thinking is on the right track, and if yes, what's the correct way to nominate the pages for deletion? Carter00000 ( talk) 15:30, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
I left a note for Liz about the whole AfC Db-6 issue. I can't see things from an admin's perspective so you might want to add a thing or two and/or correct anything I stated. Either way thought you should know given this is an ongoing issue. S0091 ( talk) 20:19, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
FYI: PrimeBOT shouldn't embed the {{bibleverse}} template inside of <ref></ref> tags as seen here ( Task 24), or you get — Cite error: A list-defined reference has no name — as seen here in the Notes section. Same thing with the {{sfn}} template. Some of these templates weren't designed to be nested inside of ref tags for some reason. I fixed it by removing the ref tags. Thanks.

Hello, and thanks for your input at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Templates#Images in templates. I've updated the templates/documentation for the various templates that previously generated little images of characters instead of the actual characters. As you are more experienced, I want to ask for your input on something.
Background: I went through the {{ asterism}} transclusions recently to see how it was being used in practice and manually substitute the template before feeding anything to a bot. The original idea behind these templates was that an editor would put them into a table so that a screen reader would say the alt text. Out of the twenty or so pages using {{ asterism}}, only 3 were using it in its original intended capacity. A glance through {{ hash-tag}} usage shows the same thing. It seems about 1 in 10 pages that use these templates, understand how they were intended. Many use them to generate lengthy tooltips which actually worsens accessibility and many (like Drag Race (franchise)) use them with different alt text between the legend and table which also worsens accessibility. I think it makes sense to replace any usage of the templates with no "alt=" text outright. I have a question about the small percentage but likely large number of pages that did use the templates as intended.
Question: Do you see any value in trying to transition any of these alt text symbols into a template that is more geared towards accessibility and less prone to misuse? Or does that seem a waste of time when the majority of usage appears to be misuse? I'm guessing there are about 3,000 pages (out of the 40,000 or so) that used the templates in line with their intended purpose, and I'm hesitant to substitute all that work.

Hi
Primefac, can you please help me with the following problem? I am working on a new "List of 2023–24 Super Rugby transfers" article and tried to use the code {{suboff}} Player X (to {{Rut|Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi|fb=y}})
for a player, who is leaving the
Highlanders and moving to
Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi. However, that template only worked with the old team name "Toyota Shokki". So I changed the name in the
Template:Rugby union team/flags by adding "Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi", at the same time also correcting the name of the destination page from "Toyota Industries Shuttles" to "Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi", so that it arrives there directly without using the redirect. Can you please check whether I've done this correctly?
This change does however not resolve the problem, because {{Rut|Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi|fb=y}}
still doesn't work. I am not sure, but is this because the
Template:Rugby union team/link also needs to be changed? I see that only editors with extended confirmed rights can change that template, so I don't think I am able to do it myself and I also don't feel comfortable doing it, because I don't want to make a mistake. Can you please do this for me? Many thanks,

A | B | C = D
all on one line or spread across multiple lines, if either A, B, or C is passed to the #switch statement it will output D. Largely for human reading, we group together like objects, which is why (as you say) every team is listed on one line ending with the team abbreviation; we don't have to do it that way but it looks nicer to us.

I was not expecting that another editor would send that article to AFD, but Twinkle handled the race condition properly, by telling me that the article already had an AFD tag, and that I could put my tag on it in place of the existing tag, but that was not recommended, or I could cancel tagging. So the rationale that I had written for the AFD became the rationale for supporting the AFD. Were you checking on the other Olivier Guillon, or were you just looking for sports articles that were notable under previous guidelines, or how did we manage to find the same article at the same time?

Hi, I see you reverted my move for the First Sudanese Sovereignty Council to the 1955 Sudanese Sovereignty Council. The naming here is similar to the 1969 Sudanese coup d'état and the other Sudanese coup d'état. As per Wikipedia:Article titles, using years is more precise and consistent, and the use of the convention of “year”+”the event” is what is used in the literature. That is why I changed the title and the template (which you reverted too) and requested the deletion of the redirect page 1964 Sudanese Sovereignty Council to move the current page. You argued that your justification of reverting all of my edits and denying my request for deletion was “over redirect” which I had already took care of. FuzzyMagma ( talk) 08:57, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Per your edit summary here, I curious how much of an article has to be CNP to warrant a histmerge. Comparing this version of the original (draft) with this with this version of the new article, the text is 90% the same (exactly quoted) with the same references, plus new sources for the pretty new graphs. The editing periods do not overlap. I thought I had requested histmerges for similar cases in the distant past, but I don't want to waste time if only exact CNPs are eligible.

Shouldn't the Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment notices posted by Primebot go at the bottom of talk pages rather than the top? It seems to me that these notices should either follow the "boxes at the top" convention (e.g. WikiProjects box), or else go at the bottom as part of the regular discussion, inserted with a chronologically correct date, or at least at the bottom in a new section and signed on the date of insertion. People who start by scrolling through the most recent talk page contents to see if there's active editing won't notice that the top-placed "discussion" is recent.

Hello, Primefac,
There are two AFDs, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ross Lazaroo-Hood and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zubin Dowlaty, that ordinarily would have been closed a long time ago but have instead been relisted several times. I think that is because of comments you made that implied that deletion might not be the best option. However, that has been the primary outcome put foward by the nominator and discussion participants. Could you close these in a manner you think is appropriate? Much appreciated. Liz Read!

This user was far too tentative. Absolutely the bot should not've been placing Wikicourse notes at the tops of talk pages instead of the bottom ( example). The previous reply was similarly tentative, but hopefully it has already fixed by now or the use of the bot for that purpose discontinued. [Edit: Oh, from the redirect, I assumed this was just a renamed page for comments on the specific bot project. Since this looks like a personal talk page, (a) thanks for your help with the project, (b) sorry for the overly brusque tone above, and (c) the bot in question is/was "PrimeBOT".] — LlywelynII 15:40, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm reaching out for some advice on handling a situation. There is an AWB approved user who has done big runs of edits using JWB that had a high rate of error in the past. It was pointed out to them in ANI (by me as well as other users) that this was likely because they were going too fast, operating at that time sometimes 30+ edits per minute. I suggested to them that they report as a meatbot if they were to continue at that speed. For awhile, they did seem to slow down their JWB edits, but recently, they have ramped up again. And again, it appears to result in a high error rate. A review of their edit history shows that at one point they were doing 40+ edits per minute. They do show a willingness to clean up their mess, but IMO, there wouldn't be as much of a mess if they would just slow it down. As an AWB user myself, I know that no one is perfect. But this editor is showing a pattern of problematic editing with the tool, IMO; and in the past, it has seemed they were more concerned with speed simply for increasing their edit count. As far as I know, they are not registered as a bot. Would you advise bringing it up to ANI, or rather to an individual admin with bot/AWB expertise? Or am I just being to knit-picky and should let it go, considering that they are willing to fix their errors? TIA for your wisdom and input. ButlerBlog ( talk) 19:56, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

This bot is marking regular edits, that have discussion support and are unlikely to reverted but should be reviewed, as minor edits. That is not how I expect minor edit convention to be used and should be changed. "A good rule of thumb is that edits consisting solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of the content should be flagged as minor edits." Formatting changes does not imply removing information. Removal of information from the article that is quantitatively large (-300+ vs -1) by default is not a minor edit.

Good morning Primefac,
As I said on
Wikipedia talk:Linter yesterday, I'd be very interested in the proposal you floated for allowing me to have temporary access to the various admin talk archives with Tidy Font errors in an effort to eradicate to Tidy Font error from Wikipedia.
I've done some temporary access edits with help from
User:Courcelles for about 100 or so full protected pages now since April 2023 on various non-admin pages like deceased users and LTAs, so I have a running history I can point to for similar edits on equally sensitive or watched pages, and can give you diffs of either those conversations with Courcelles, or the diffs of some of the actual edits if those are desired.
For your offer for accessing the remaining Tidy Fonts on the Admin's talk archives,
How do you see this arrangement operating?
Do you have any additional stipulations for this editing arrangement beyond the standard delinting rules stated at
WP:LINT?
I am assuming release in batches rather than all at once. What batch size and time frame were you thinking about?
Any other things that are important to you for us to discuss for this agreement?
For the benefit of information, I
compiled this which is the current list (as I know it to be) of all the full protected pages with Tidy Fonts. First table is stats of this error per user's set of pages, and the second table is each page I know to have this error.
And just to be clear, I will be addressing all lint errors found on each page, not just the Tidy Fonts, so that each page is one and done, free of all remaining lint errors.
Looking forward to this agreement and thank you for the confidence in my delinting abilities. Zinnober9 ( talk) 07:22, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi Primefac, Hope you are doing well. Can you tell me, How to solve the issue of expanded section in wikipedia articles?

Hi Primefac. It's taken me a long time to follow up because, honestly, I don't have the energy for it, but
this still bothers me, especially the snide aside about "bean counting". The
username policy currently says that a username can be your real name if you so choose
. The
last well-attended RfC that proposed similar language to yours found no consensus. So do you really think that
giving new users a strong instruction to choose a username that is different from your real name
reflects community consensus on this matter? To be clear, I'm 100% aware that you and many others think that editing under your real name is a bad idea, and have good reasons for that, but that is not the issue here. The question is whether an extremely prominent interface guidance reflects broad consensus, and I don't think that's "bean counting". –

Hi. I found your name on DavidElit's user page regarding a block on Papua editing, so I thought you might have some knowledge of Indonesia. Quite a few years ago, I cleaned up Wali Songo which he (or perhaps SatuSuro) cautioned is still based mostly on folklore.
I looked at the Talk page today and saw something under Ancestal Genealogy dated 2017 which is attributed to me but I do not recognize. Not only the content, but also the horrible grammar (inc misspelling of section heading). I suspect that someone simply cut-pasted their own Talk content into a previous Talk comment I made, thereby hiding their identity.
Have you seen this happen before? What do you suggest as a way to correct it?
And more generally, what is the policy for deleting Talk sections? I've seen some on various pages in WP which are 10-15 years old, on topics LONG since corrected. When and how is it ok to delete such sections? Martindo ( talk) 20:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello! I’ve reverted your change from earlier on August 28 to redirect the Solar eclipse of January 4, 1992 article to List of solar eclipses in the 20th century. I’m not sure what you mean when you provided “nothing here” as the summary of your edit—there is information not provided on the redirect such as a summary of the eclipse’s path, an animation, and related eclipses. Additionally, virtually all solar eclipses between 1901–2100, save for a few marginal events at the poles, already have their own standalone article. I cannot think of a sound reason why the article should become a redirect. Tinh1000000 ( talk) 07:39, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
Good evening! Like the person above, I've reverted the redirect you've placed on Solar eclipse of July 16, 2186. While I understand why you may have wanted to revert it, I believe that this eclipse would be considered notable, as it is confirmed that it will be the longest eclipse in thousands of years, and several sources have confirmed that it will happen despite the date being so far out in the future. I can see other future eclipses not ready for an article, but I strongly believe we can keep this one. Thank you! 2603:8000:CD02:FC64:5C33:A4A3:FBCA:2A3F ( talk) 05:17, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Primefac. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " List of municipal flags in Italy".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hi Primefac,
I noticed that you rejected some CSD's for empty Portal:Current Events Talk Pages which I nominated. My thinking is that since the pages were created as a result of spam/vandalism, and are now empty, they do not need to be kept.

Hello, and thanks for your input at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Templates#Images in templates. I've updated the templates/documentation for the various templates that previously generated little images of characters instead of the actual characters. As you are more experienced, I want to ask for your input on something.
Background: I went through the {{ asterism}} transclusions recently to see how it was being used in practice and manually substitute the template before feeding anything to a bot. The original idea behind these templates was that an editor would put them into a table so that a screen reader would say the alt text. Out of the twenty or so pages using {{ asterism}}, only 3 were using it in its original intended capacity. A glance through {{ hash-tag}} usage shows the same thing. It seems about 1 in 10 pages that use these templates, understand how they were intended. Many use them to generate lengthy tooltips which actually worsens accessibility and many (like Drag Race (franchise)) use them with different alt text between the legend and table which also worsens accessibility. I think it makes sense to replace any usage of the templates with no "alt=" text outright. I have a question about the small percentage but likely large number of pages that did use the templates as intended.
Question: Do you see any value in trying to transition any of these alt text symbols into a template that is more geared towards accessibility and less prone to misuse? Or does that seem a waste of time when the majority of usage appears to be misuse? I'm guessing there are about 3,000 pages (out of the 40,000 or so) that used the templates in line with their intended purpose, and I'm hesitant to substitute all that work.

Hi
Primefac, can you please help me with the following problem? I am working on a new "List of 2023–24 Super Rugby transfers" article and tried to use the code {{suboff}} Player X (to {{Rut|Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi|fb=y}})
for a player, who is leaving the
Highlanders and moving to
Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi. However, that template only worked with the old team name "Toyota Shokki". So I changed the name in the
Template:Rugby union team/flags by adding "Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi", at the same time also correcting the name of the destination page from "Toyota Industries Shuttles" to "Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi", so that it arrives there directly without using the redirect. Can you please check whether I've done this correctly?
This change does however not resolve the problem, because {{Rut|Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi|fb=y}}
still doesn't work. I am not sure, but is this because the
Template:Rugby union team/link also needs to be changed? I see that only editors with extended confirmed rights can change that template, so I don't think I am able to do it myself and I also don't feel comfortable doing it, because I don't want to make a mistake. Can you please do this for me? Many thanks,

A | B | C = D
all on one line or spread across multiple lines, if either A, B, or C is passed to the #switch statement it will output D. Largely for human reading, we group together like objects, which is why (as you say) every team is listed on one line ending with the team abbreviation; we don't have to do it that way but it looks nicer to us.

I was not expecting that another editor would send that article to AFD, but Twinkle handled the race condition properly, by telling me that the article already had an AFD tag, and that I could put my tag on it in place of the existing tag, but that was not recommended, or I could cancel tagging. So the rationale that I had written for the AFD became the rationale for supporting the AFD. Were you checking on the other Olivier Guillon, or were you just looking for sports articles that were notable under previous guidelines, or how did we manage to find the same article at the same time?

Hi, I see you reverted my move for the First Sudanese Sovereignty Council to the 1955 Sudanese Sovereignty Council. The naming here is similar to the 1969 Sudanese coup d'état and the other Sudanese coup d'état. As per Wikipedia:Article titles, using years is more precise and consistent, and the use of the convention of “year”+”the event” is what is used in the literature. That is why I changed the title and the template (which you reverted too) and requested the deletion of the redirect page 1964 Sudanese Sovereignty Council to move the current page. You argued that your justification of reverting all of my edits and denying my request for deletion was “over redirect” which I had already took care of. FuzzyMagma ( talk) 08:57, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Per your edit summary here, I curious how much of an article has to be CNP to warrant a histmerge. Comparing this version of the original (draft) with this with this version of the new article, the text is 90% the same (exactly quoted) with the same references, plus new sources for the pretty new graphs. The editing periods do not overlap. I thought I had requested histmerges for similar cases in the distant past, but I don't want to waste time if only exact CNPs are eligible.

I'm reaching out for some advice on handling a situation. There is an AWB approved user who has done big runs of edits using JWB that had a high rate of error in the past. It was pointed out to them in ANI (by me as well as other users) that this was likely because they were going too fast, operating at that time sometimes 30+ edits per minute. I suggested to them that they report as a meatbot if they were to continue at that speed. For awhile, they did seem to slow down their JWB edits, but recently, they have ramped up again. And again, it appears to result in a high error rate. A review of their edit history shows that at one point they were doing 40+ edits per minute. They do show a willingness to clean up their mess, but IMO, there wouldn't be as much of a mess if they would just slow it down. As an AWB user myself, I know that no one is perfect. But this editor is showing a pattern of problematic editing with the tool, IMO; and in the past, it has seemed they were more concerned with speed simply for increasing their edit count. As far as I know, they are not registered as a bot. Would you advise bringing it up to ANI, or rather to an individual admin with bot/AWB expertise? Or am I just being to knit-picky and should let it go, considering that they are willing to fix their errors? TIA for your wisdom and input. ButlerBlog ( talk) 19:56, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm not particularly sure if I want to bring this to SPI again after what you said to me last time, but while browsing through more albums, it seems this user has once again reappeared under a new Tristan the smart account that they alternated between from June to August before switching to Tristan comar. since you talked to me previously about this user, I felt it'd make sense to bring it up to you and not risk the SPI not working again—my apologies if this disrupts any work you're doing. dawnbails ( talk) 19:05, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi Primefac. Do you think this edit requires RevDel? I wasn't sure, so I'll leave it up to you. Thanks. DH85868993 ( talk) 10:02, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting my inadvertent (and incorrect) edit on Robert Bray. I intended to click the "thank" link, but apparently I clicked "undo" instead. I apologize for doing so. I am a strong believer in not having unsourced content in Wikipedia articles. I regret that I made such a foolish mistake. Eddie Blick ( talk) 23:36, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
No, the issue is not solved yet.
This is what I see in the summary of both templates after your revert: Undid revision 1176379501 by The Banner (talk) it *is* fixed. The Testcases page hasn't been purged yet) Tags: Undo Disambiguation links added. The Banner talk 11:12, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
title.exists
check was also being considered as a "link" (which is dumb). I have once again refactored the code and it does indeed appear to be working as intended, with no dab links if there are none.

What I said is sourced. I literally play FIFA Mobile, so you shouldn't revert my edit. 202.84.42.187 ( talk) 12:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't see how I made a duplicate vote...? I did leave a facetious comment next to Extraordinary Writ's vote (277)... is that why you counted a second vote? Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 08:26, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
With regret I still have concerns about that reviewer, and have expressed then on their talk page. I choose not to link it here because I do not wish to create a pile on. There are sufficient concerns for me to suggest you might wish to take another look. You will either remember the editor or be able to look at my today's and yesterdays contributions. I will drop the full user details here if you ping me and request them. I suggest you archive or delete this after looking at it. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:36, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
So you removed me from the list following a string of problamtic acceptances, which I completelly understand, but as you know I have been taking steps to avoid this doing work at AfC, reading up on vandalism, ect. I really want to participate in the project and would like to know when an approate time to reapply is. I had already taken a break and planned to abstain from reviewing until the end of the month if not mid-october to participate in the backlog drive.~~~ Questions? four OLIfanofmrtennant (she/her) 15:40, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
my AFC rights was renewed by you few days ago. but when I renamed the right is gone. can you please reinitiate it again. Akshithmanya ( talk) 03:04, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
This bot is marking regular edits, that have discussion support and are unlikely to reverted but should be reviewed, as minor edits. That is not how I expect minor edit convention to be used and should be changed. "A good rule of thumb is that edits consisting solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of the content should be flagged as minor edits." Formatting changes does not imply removing information. Removal of information from the article that is quantitatively large (-300+ vs -1) by default is not a minor edit.

Hi Primefac, I am writing as I am wondering if you could please help me. Is there a template that can be placed on the top of the Records and statistics of the Rugby World Cup article to alert potential editors to the discussion ongoing here and if so, is it possible that you could place it there?. Kind regards 79.154.65.115 ( talk) 13:04, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Any administrator soliciting clients for paid Wikipedia-related consulting or advising services not covered by other paid-contribution rules must disclose all clients on their userpage.
Don't put random titles to anyone's talk page like "one thing", "two things", "three things" etc. It's quite rude and disrespectful. Just get straight to the point you want to present and don't talk in circles. Your message can be heard even without dramatising it. Regards! — Hemant Dabral ( 📞 • ✒) 08:42, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Good morning Primefac,
As I said on
Wikipedia talk:Linter yesterday, I'd be very interested in the proposal you floated for allowing me to have temporary access to the various admin talk archives with Tidy Font errors in an effort to eradicate to Tidy Font error from Wikipedia.
I've done some temporary access edits with help from
User:Courcelles for about 100 or so full protected pages now since April 2023 on various non-admin pages like deceased users and LTAs, so I have a running history I can point to for similar edits on equally sensitive or watched pages, and can give you diffs of either those conversations with Courcelles, or the diffs of some of the actual edits if those are desired.
For your offer for accessing the remaining Tidy Fonts on the Admin's talk archives,
How do you see this arrangement operating?
Do you have any additional stipulations for this editing arrangement beyond the standard delinting rules stated at
WP:LINT?
I am assuming release in batches rather than all at once. What batch size and time frame were you thinking about?
Any other things that are important to you for us to discuss for this agreement?
For the benefit of information, I
compiled this which is the current list (as I know it to be) of all the full protected pages with Tidy Fonts. First table is stats of this error per user's set of pages, and the second table is each page I know to have this error.
And just to be clear, I will be addressing all lint errors found on each page, not just the Tidy Fonts, so that each page is one and done, free of all remaining lint errors.
Looking forward to this agreement and thank you for the confidence in my delinting abilities. Zinnober9 ( talk) 07:22, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi Primefac, Hope you are doing well. Can you tell me, How to solve the issue of expanded section in wikipedia articles? Look at this article, in mobile view all the sections are opened and it is hard to view even though I didn't enable Expand all the sections through my settings. Fade258 ( talk) 09:28, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi Primefac. It's taken me a long time to follow up because, honestly, I don't have the energy for it, but
this still bothers me, especially the snide aside about "bean counting". The
username policy currently says that a username can be your real name if you so choose
. The
last well-attended RfC that proposed similar language to yours found no consensus. So do you really think that
giving new users a strong instruction to choose a username that is different from your real name
reflects community consensus on this matter? To be clear, I'm 100% aware that you and many others think that editing under your real name is a bad idea, and have good reasons for that, but that is not the issue here. The question is whether an extremely prominent interface guidance reflects broad consensus, and I don't think that's "bean counting". –

Hi, Prime recently i have renamed my username from User:Citadeol to User:Xegma and my AfC right has gone, could you please re-add my name to AfC reviewers list. Xegma (talk) 08:01, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi. I found your name on DavidElit's user page regarding a block on Papua editing, so I thought you might have some knowledge of Indonesia. Quite a few years ago, I cleaned up Wali Songo which he (or perhaps SatuSuro) cautioned is still based mostly on folklore.
I looked at the Talk page today and saw something under Ancestal Genealogy dated 2017 which is attributed to me but I do not recognize. Not only the content, but also the horrible grammar (inc misspelling of section heading). I suspect that someone simply cut-pasted their own Talk content into a previous Talk comment I made, thereby hiding their identity.
Have you seen this happen before? What do you suggest as a way to correct it?
And more generally, what is the policy for deleting Talk sections? I've seen some on various pages in WP which are 10-15 years old, on topics LONG since corrected. When and how is it ok to delete such sections? Martindo ( talk) 20:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I see that you have added me as a probationary participant on WikiProject Articles for creation. What would this mean, am I already able to review articles or do I need to wait until I am included as a full participant. ᚴᛁᚾᚷ ᚼᛒ Talk, Guestbook
Hello! I’ve reverted your change from earlier on August 28 to redirect the Solar eclipse of January 4, 1992 article to List of solar eclipses in the 20th century. I’m not sure what you mean when you provided “nothing here” as the summary of your edit—there is information not provided on the redirect such as a summary of the eclipse’s path, an animation, and related eclipses. Additionally, virtually all solar eclipses between 1901–2100, save for a few marginal events at the poles, already have their own standalone article. I cannot think of a sound reason why the article should become a redirect. Tinh1000000 ( talk) 07:39, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
Good evening! Like the person above, I've reverted the redirect you've placed on Solar eclipse of July 16, 2186. While I understand why you may have wanted to revert it, I believe that this eclipse would be considered notable, as it is confirmed that it will be the longest eclipse in thousands of years, and several sources have confirmed that it will happen despite the date being so far out in the future. I can see other future eclipses not ready for an article, but I strongly believe we can keep this one. Thank you! 2603:8000:CD02:FC64:5C33:A4A3:FBCA:2A3F ( talk) 05:17, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

A user moved Wikipedia:RFR to Wikipedia:WP:RFP. I didn't catch the double prefix, and mistakenly, I moved the new redirect to Wikipedia:WP:RFR. Would you kindly delete current version of Wikipedia:RFR, and move Wikipedia:WP:RFR to Wikipedia:RFR? —usernamekiran (talk) 22:45, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
I think I sent it yesterday, or day before that. —usernamekiran (talk) 13:20, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
