== Edit got deleted ==
The subject I wrote about is recently published by many national and international news media agencies like yahoo news, MSN, ANI, TOI, DNA, DailyHunt, India TV, Zee5, Kashmir Reader and many more. He's a notable person as clearly seen on Google search engine but has no Wikipedia page. So, I thought I might add him to Jammu and Kashmir artist's list but the moment I edited the page it go deleted within seconds. Can you please help me out?

:As the Edit Page clearly states: ''"No red links or un-linked entries. Every entry in this list must have an article written in the English Wikipedia, with reliable sources to support inclusion, else it will be removed without warning."'' You seem to have disregarded that prominent notice. Please read the clear explanations linked from that page: [[Wikipedia:Write the article first]].

== User Vandalism 73,18,218,180 ==
Hello!
I saw that you blocked the [[User talk:73.18.218.180|user: 73,18,218,180]] for insistent vandalism. Although its blockade has already been lifted, the user has recently and erroneously changed the dates of birth, death and administration of several colonial mayors of San Antonio, Texas, who ruled in the 18th and early 19th centuries, without any source: He did so in the [[List of mayors of San Antonio]], and in articles such as that of [[Juan Leal]] or [[Simón de Arocha]], among others.
The user has already been blocked several times for continuous vandalism but he keeps committing the same action. So I think something has to be done with him.

Greetings!--[[User:Isinbill|Isinbill]] ([[User talk:Isinbill|talk]]) 19:44, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
:Yup. Everything I've checked ahs been the same sort of vandalism )bogus changes to biography dates). Left an only warning but looking a the number of edits I think this justifies and immediate block for continued v after a block.

If you are not, then maybe Wikipedia is not for you. This is not a social network, but an encyclopedia. It is not Facebook. Any article posted to WP must comply with the [[WP:42|Golden Rule]].

== Invitation to participate in a research ==
== User Talk Pages ==


Hello,
I guess you are "just doing your job" and thank you for your selfless service on behalf of Wikipedia and the "new page patrol" that does often go without thanks. I know it is a tough job that somebody needs to do. There are trolls and asshats that can crawl under your skin who do real damage to this project, and your efforts really do make this on the whole a better place.


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.
I would hope that you would give a whole lot of latitude though toward using your administrator tools on user talk pages of all things. I know what I was doing was a bit shady I guess from somebody being really hardcore about Wikipedia policies, although in general I would suggest that you try to at least treat stuff added to the user space by the user themselves as more of a sandbox than doing a hard slap across the face and treating that new user as an idiot. I sincerely hope that you welcome and encourage participation on Wikipedia too and don't bury them under rules. And remember: [[WP:IAR]] from time to time :) --[[User:RSHorning|RSHorning]] ([[User talk:RSHorning|talk]]) <!--Template:Undated--><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 14:14, 8 February 2021 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
==Disambiguation link notification for February 10==


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited [[Davincci Lourenço de Almeida]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Brazilian]]<!-- ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Davincci_Louren%C3%A7o_de_Almeida check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Davincci_Louren%C3%A7o_de_Almeida?client=notify fix with Dab solver])-->. Such links are [[WP:INTDABLINK|usually incorrect]], since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].)</small>

== Question about revdel ==
Hi Alexf. I noticed that you used revdel to hide [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Mahogany&diff=1007483956&oldid=1006079563&unhide=1 this spam link]. I'm not exactly complaining, but my interpretation of [[WP:REVDEL]] is actually that we shouldn't use it to hide {{tq|mere spam links}}. In some cases, it may actually be beneficial for non-admins to have access to the historical revisions so they can point to them as evidence for blacklisting URLs. [[WP:RD5]] is a really nebulous criterion, and to be honest, it's not that clear to me what it means. I suspect, however, that the community probably would not support interpreting RD5 to mean that just ''any'' bare spam link can be revdelled at admin discretion. What do you think? [[User:Mz7|Mz7]] ([[User talk:Mz7|talk]]) 19:04, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
:You may be right. I do not like spammers, and think that they should not be rewarded with publishing their links. Leaving them open in previous versions opens up dangers of people clicking, and either the spammer gets rewarded with clicks, or in the worst case scenario, they are malicious sites. As said, maybe your interpretation is correct, so I wont be doing it as in this case, going forward. -- [[User:Alexf|Alexf]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Alexf|(talk)]]</i></sup> 19:17, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

I was about to decline the report but edit conflicted: the edits look good faith IMO (e.g. adding a DOB with a reference), and may reflect inexperience more than blatant vandalism.

== The deleting of Niles Schilder ==
== ''The Bugle'': Issue 222, October 2024 ==
I am asking about a page that was deleted in May 2020 about Niles Schilder, I have no connection with the person in question but I do know that he is very well known especially in Suffolk which is were he lives. When the page was created it was not referenced correctly and was taken down, this is a problem I intend to put right therefore I would be very happy if you could reinstate the page, thank you.

:You should always try to supply a link to the page to make it easier to find such and old page. In this case the page was empty. It was created by [[User:Niles Schilder]] and just contained the name. That's it. Nothing there to [[WP:USERFY|userfy]]. Note the user was blocked indefinitely for abuse of editing privileges and socking. If you want to start a draft, you will have to start from scratch. May I suggest if you do, to consider [[WP:ACCOUNT|creating an account]]?

== Please delete page ==
Hello, I've just been wondering how to delete the Wikipedia page I created, but I've been having struggles considering an administrator needs to adjust that for me. If you by any chance could delete the https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Andy_Patelesio.jpg or just search up Andy Patelesio and it will be the first image on google, under the name file:Andy_Patelesio.jpg – Wikimedia Commons.

Thank you very much. Have a Lovely day and hope to hear from you soon[[Special:Contributions/115.188.81.228|115.188.81.228]] ([[User talk:115.188.81.228|talk]]) 22:14, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
:That page is (was) in Commons. The request has to be made for a Commons Admin. I see it has been deleted already. Please start a new section with a section title (I added one), else it mixes with whatever was there before and gets lost in the test. -- [[User:Alexf|Alexf]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Alexf|(talk)]]</i></sup> 22:37, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

:*A [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Desysop Policy (2021)|request for comment]] is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions.

:*A [[Wikipedia talk:Page mover/delete-redirect#RFC on granting delete-redirect to page movers|request for comment]] seeks to grant [[Wikipedia:Page mover|page movers]] the {{code|delete-redirect}} userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

== Ravidas again ==
Sir, this is regarding the POV push and unsourced changes in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ravidas&action=history Ravidas] article again. These new users [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Balvir_singh_1976] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Iammohitpal] are modifying sourced birth and death days.

== Cleaned up your vandalism of Babu Chotelal Shrivastava ==

I recently edited [[Babu Chotelal Shrivastava]] to restore the original birth year from obvious vandal edits. I was shocked to find that the most recent such edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Babu_Chotelal_Shrivastava&type=revision&diff=1012813449&oldid=1010252225] was done by an administrator with over 170,000 edits in 17 years of editing.
Even a cursory reading of the article shows that your change could not possibly be correct. Indeed, this link [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Babu_Chotelal_Shrivastava&type=revision&diff=958785877&oldid=958414783] shows that two vandals defaced an article that was already in fairly bad shape. Good faith editors eventually cleaned up most of the damage but the linked edits remained.

:*Wikimedia previously used the [[m:IRC|IRC]] network [[Freenode]]. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the [[m:IRC/Group_Contacts|Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts]] decided to move to the new [[Libera Chat]] network.

Hello,

I am not sure what was in the deleted edit on this article, but I would check the other contributions too. There were more Nazi allegations. [[User:Scorpions13256|Scorpions13256]] ([[User talk:Scorpions13256|talk]]) 20:09, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]].
== Sniff test ==
Hi Alexf. You blocked {{noping|TKS teaching}} and deleted their promotional draft [[Draft:TKS teaching]]. A little over two hours later, a new account ({{noping|David Combs}}) appears and re-creates it, only to be deleted again by {{noping|Liz}} after I'd nominated it for G11. David Combs then created it again.


Take the survey '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en here]'''.
He left a message on my talk page, so I replied and {{diff2|1028554527|asked him}} if he had any affiliation to the draft's subject or the blocked account. {{diff2|1028556155|He replied that he did not}}, but I'm not sure I buy that explanation. Is there enough here for a SPI? --[[User:Drm310|Drm310]] <span style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:Drm310|talk]]) 17:44, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Any reason to continue the protect on [[AN/TPS-43]]? All vandalism was from a single user that has been perma-banned across socks. Seems safe to open now. [[User:Maury Markowitz|Maury Markowitz]] ([[User talk:Maury Markowitz|talk]]) 12:05, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Alexf. On [[Avery (given name)]], there's an edit notice you created in 2013 and updated in 2019. The edit notice says that no unlinked or redlinked entries should be added to the lists of people named Avery on the page.
== Regarding adding our business wikipedia content ==
Hi Alex,
We have created the Wikipedia page for our business earlier but it was not found. Now we have planned to add it again henceforth I request your support to publish the content by reviewing the same. How to share the content with you to verify. Kindly request you to do the needful.
M Sankar [[User:SankarM2|SankarM2]] ([[User talk:SankarM2|talk]]) 04:23, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
:{{yo|SankarM2}} There are some issues here. First, is your business [[WP:COMPANY|notable]] within Wikipedia's definition? Are you planning to [[WP:SPAMPAGE|advertise your business]], masquerading as an article? Have you read the article on [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]]? Have you read, and disclosed you are a [[WP:PAY|paid writer]]? -- [[User:Alexf|Alexf]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Alexf|(talk)]]</i></sup> 15:03, 1 August 2021 (UTC)


However, the fictional characters named Avery section seems to have been added after 2019. Does the edit notice apply to fictional characters (meaning all fictional characters without an article should be removed from the list)? Or does it only apply to the lists of real people?
== 2A00:23C4:F811:9F01:115A:B76E:6E1A:896F ==
I'm asking about all given name pages, just using Avery as an example.
Dear Alexf, Thanks for blocking this vandal – {{IPvandal|2A00:23C4:F811:9F01:115A:B76E:6E1A:896F}}. In your free time, could you take a look at [[WP:RPP]] and consider protecting the two pages (Brioche and "You can't have cake...") the vandal was active on? There have been attacks on these pages continuing for a few days now.

Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

"Given name" pages: does the 'no unlinked or redlinked entries' apply to fictional characters?

[edit]

Hi, Alexf. On Avery (given name), there's an edit notice you created in 2013 and updated in 2019. The edit notice says that no unlinked or redlinked entries should be added to the lists of people named Avery on the page.

However, the fictional characters named Avery section seems to have been added after 2019. Does the edit notice apply to fictional characters (meaning all fictional characters without an article should be removed from the list)? Or does it only apply to the lists of real people? I'm asking about all given name pages, just using Avery as an example. Thanks so much! JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 (correct me if I'm wrong) 19:31, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333: in my view, it does not apply to fictional characters. Happens in a lot of names. -- Alexf(talk) 19:34, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
