Happy Holidays! | |
Hi, Star Mississippi! Have a happy and safe season, and a blessed new year!! Holiday cheers, -- Discographer ( talk) 10:42, 22 December 2021 (UTC) |
Thank you.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 01:45, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Bbb23 want a laugh? Look at SuggestBot above. I just had a chance to look at what it served up while I was offline for the holidays. I think we could call this chapter SilvaBot. LOL. Star Mississippi 14:42, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello Star Mississippi, I saw you closed this Afd Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of German Open Women's Singles champions in badminton. In my thinking, it would be better if the Afd is relisted to generate more comments, because creator is yet to show any concerns for the list they made, how it can be kept by solving the issues raised. It should be noted that list is incomplete for almost an year. Thankyou. zoglophie 05:33, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

If you hadn’t pinged me I wouldn’t have even known such an imperative discussion which required my input was ongoing, thank you once more for the notification. Celestina007 ( talk) 22:39, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
I was offline for a few hours and when I came back, there were all these notifications. What a strange flurry of activity. Or a flurry of strange activity. Thanks for stepping in, as always.
As part of this flurry, somebody left their e-mail address on my Talk. I'm about to delete the entire section as I have zero interest in whatever they're proposing, but do I need to have it revdel'ed or something? Or just delete and forget? — JohnFromPinckney ( talk / edits) 01:55, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
I noticed on your closure notice for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Interventionism (medicine) you stated Should it be eventually merged, that's an editorial discussion that doesn't require a further extension of this nearly month-long AfD. I was the one who !voted Merge to Unnecessary health care. How should I proceed if I think that a merger is still worth pursuing? Thanks. rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 21:45, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
You might want to look at this IP, which engages in similar editing behavior as Xoni98. [1] Amanuensis Balkanicus ( talk) 05:46, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
It's because the draft was declined then they created it in mainspace. Someone else had moved it back, but couldn't move it to the original name, so they added a 2 to the end. – AssumeGoodWraith ( talk | contribs) 10:40, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
A discussion you may be interested in has been opened regarding whether athletes meeting a sport-specific guideline must demonstrate GNG at AfD. JoelleJay ( talk) 22:44, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Greetings. Regarding this edit: Which part of this text is "unambiguous copyright infringement" worthy of deletion without so much as a call for consensus?

He is a notable musician, which is why I created a stub to replace the inappropriate text. Does that help? Thanks. Star Mississippi 20:24, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi there! I would really appreciate it if you could draftify the Kaushal Srivastava article (which has been deleted) so that I can compile some more sources. Thank you!!

Looks the Helpingminds article is deleted even before I get a chance to reply. Wikipedia is a major platform, and there are huge no of deserving students in India who could discover NGO such as Helping Minds through wikipedia. The main objective of having the article is to serve and help deserving students. Please suggest if the article can be restored.

AFD pages (and similar pages) are transcluded into other pages (in this case "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2022 January 15"). As the pp-templates have their own category, the protected AFD page will be categorized under Category:Wikipedia semi-protected project pages. However, the pages where the page is transcluded into (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2022 January 15) will receive the following category: Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates because the page is transcluding the template while it is unprotected.

Hi, did you find the info you had on Jeremiah Moss? I’m going to improve the article a bit and nominate it for DYK, it is a tad late but it should be fine. Any additional information would be wonderful! Thriley ( talk) 05:46, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi there, Can I please have a copy to work on in draft space? Hoping to cite better this time, and continue my project.

This AFD Death of Miya Marcano has now been open for 8 days now. I think it is time to close it since it has a clear consensus. Davidgoodheart ( talk) 17:42, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
On 9 February 2022, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Jerome Chazen, which you nominated and updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Step hen 23:33, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
I'm not sure how it happened, but your decline was to a (non-existent) "empty" unblock request and left the real (and I believe only) unblock request untouched. Could you fix it? Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 20:02, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello Star Mississippi,
I have uncovered copypasted spammed AfD rationales posted by User:Davidgoodheart, and I filed this complaint on his talk page. Could you evaluate the claim and, if appropriate, strike the current votes ( Afdstats) that are copypasted rationales? Thank you in advance, Pilaz ( talk) 18:44, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Thank you. Happy offlining! Pilaz ( talk) 18:50, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
I just wanted you to know I am very sorry for all the problems I have caused lately. I will do my VERY BEST to follow all rules now, I had no idea that I was in my final warning. Davidgoodheart ( talk) 02:11, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
I feel you have closed many AfDs in error. Ignoring the clear majority in favor of deleting these articles. There is no good reason to overwhelm Wikipedia with redirects, especially when a majority of the participants favor deleting them. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:21, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
This one, to be precise. The only consideration made here was about the sources, but a lot of them are in snippet mode or offline. I was able, for instance, to verify the book from 1988 and the biographical dictionary that it contains pertinent info on Biss, it was simply already mentioned in the article, so we already have more than two sources. Besides, at the very least I don't see any consensus for any operation whatsoever (deletion, merge, redirect...) - the !vote count doesn't agree, I don't see the strength of the argument for merge to be strong, and anyway there were too few participants to decide. I would ask you to reconsider the closure. At least based on the arguments presented there, I couldn't possibly have reached to the conclusion you did.

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for being an active administrator on Wikipedia, voluntarily contributing to greater knowledge for the greater good!
The BeWelcome community is also a volunteer organisation of over 350,000 members.
There was an active discussion about deleting the page due to it not being sufficiently "notable". The same has happened to Trustroots, a partnering platform, yet not member-paid services such as Servas, Warmshowers, and CouchSurfing.
In the discussion within the BeWelcome forums
the following link was proposed to consolidate the media coverage about BeWelcome.

Hi. Was going to add something at the AfD, but it's getting kind of long. Not only has their editing been a bit tendentious, but they are also most likely a UPE, see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Draft:Sanjib Baruah. Onel5969 TT me 12:34, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
