No matter how cute you are, expect no quarter in the cruel world of Wikipedia.

While Wikipedia's written policies and guidelines should be taken seriously, they can be misused.
Do not follow an overly strict interpretation of the letter of policy without consideration for the principles of policies.
If the rules truly prevent you from improving the encyclopedia, ignore them.

Thank you for deleting the attack page that used a homophobic slur against someone.

No evidence provided

Regarding.... Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/COVID-19 there is no evidence provided for a consensus regarding the "ban" claim. [1], [2]. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

There may not be a consensus but here is a precedence for deleting COVID-19 joke pages. Are you actually asking for it to be restored for four more hours before it will be deleted again? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:07, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

It doesn't matter the topic.... what bothers me is a lack of consensus and communication. If it's not allowed then it should be clearly stated rather than go through this every year. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:09, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Anyways I am going to add it to WP:FOOLR then with links to the CSDs. No use repeating the same thing and expecting different results... - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:13, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not written down. It's a matter of taste, just like we wouldn't have joke pages about Nazis, war, prison, the Japanese tsunami, hate crimes, AIDS or racial violence. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:24, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – April 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021).

Administrator changes

Hi Liz, I was wondering if I could see what the Bixton page looked like before speedy deletion? When I have looked, it seems to be a valid surname page/dab, an index of articles MOS:DABMENTIONing people with this surname. All the best, Boleyn (talk) 09:03, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Category:Templates for merging

Hi! Am I missing something, but why did you tag Category:Templates for merging for speedy deletion? Has the specific TfM use case been deprecated or something? Also pinging UnitedStatesian who tagged it similarly earlier. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 21:20, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Hellknowz,

With a few exceptions, empty categories are tagged for deletion, although they sit for 7 days before deletion in case they were emptied out-of-process or a mistake has happened. It is not uncommon for a category to be temporarily empty and then the tag is removed. If you believe that this category should be retained, even if it is empty, you can tag it {{emptycat}} and that will mean that it doesn't show up on our daily lists of empty categories. Liz ^{Read!

UNDELETING Nuhu Muzaata Batte

Hello Comrade Liz, i am kindly requesting that you undelete Nuhu Muzaata Batte, it had been recommended and tagged for deleting citing copyright infringement which i had immediately corrected and cleaned. I therefore Kindly request that you undelete.Thank you very much. Ibitukirire (talk) 21:34, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Ibitukirire,

Since there were questions about the content, I have restored this page, moved it into Draft space and submitted it to Articles for Creation for review. You can still work on the page and can find it at Draft:Nuhu Muzaata Batte. Please do not move it to the main space of the project without being reviewed or it is likely to be deleted again. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:03, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much @ Liz, but I will not make any edits on that draft, I know other people will do so and modify it further. This is because I have realised my edits are being mistaken by some editors non disclosed paid edits when I reality I do not have any penny received nor in any way connected to the subjects. I have already been warned by NJD-DE that I will be blocked from further editing given the nature of my edits, hence the my decision to first hold on, observe and learn before any serious edits. Thank you very much Ibitukirire (talk) 22:18, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

@Ibitukirire, not doing anything with this draft might not be the best idea though either. When loading the draft into earwig's copyvio detector I still see a lot of sentences that are very close to the original sites. To my taste too many and too close. – NJD-DE (talk) 22:43, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

GSMArena

Hi! You have deleted the GSMArena article, which was marked for speedy deletion. There were multiple, independent reliable secondary sources added to the article. Two users asked not to delete it on the talk page. Can you undo the removal? Thanks. 08:17, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Editor,

I'm willing to restore it if I can move it to your user space or Draft space and you submit it to WP:AFC for review when you believe it is ready. If you move it back into main space, I can guarantee that it will be deleted again and it is likely that the title will be protected so that there will never be an article with that title. Secondly, always sign your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~) so I can see who I'm talking to. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:25, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

@Liz: Hi, I can submit it to AFC, but I'm not understanding why it was deleted in the first place. WP:A7 is "a lower standard than notability." according to the guideline. Although the article was just a stub, I think it passes WP:GNG because it had multiple sources that were reliable, secondary, independent. Sorry for forgetting my signature.

Draftify Online Khabar

Hi Liz, I was thinking to work on Online Khabar after seeing it had a chance of deletion. I found few reliable sources so I thought I will improve it. But today, when I came back, I noticed that the article is already deleted. That's fine. But I request you to draftify it so that I can work on it. I know I can start afresh but that will be a disrespect to the previous authors work. Could you draftify it? Thanks, nirmal (talk) 10:18, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, nirmal,

I have restored the article and moved it to Draft:Online Khabar. Please know that the editor who tagged your page for deletion wanted the title to be "salted" which means that the title would be protected so that there will never be an article with this name. What this means is that if you move it directly back into the main space of the project, it will be deleted and there will never be an article called Online Khabar. What you can do is make this article as noncommercial as possible and submit it for review at Articles for Creation. This is seriously your only option at this point if you want there to be an article on this subject on Wikipedia.

If you need help and advice, I recommend visiting the Teahouse or WT:AFC. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:33, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Just to give you a little history here. The article KSI (entertainer) was renamed mid-March to KSI. Timiwiki... then created new cats and started moving all the articles.

Hello, JMH2021,

I've restored it to User:JMH2021/Sandbox. I wouldn't have chosen to delete it but it's a judgment call. It's waiting to be reviewed by an WP:AFC reviewer but you can still work on it. I'm not an expert on content creation but I think you really have to cut it down. Be selective in what you include, you shouldn't mention everything she has done and every publication. It's so lengthy that I can see why it was seen as promotional as it reads like a resume or CV (what we refer to as a LinkedIn biography which is not a compliment).

Editing Henry Clifford De Meillon (1800-1859)

Hello Liz You notified me that my edits were deleted as they were inactive over 6 months. Reason is I was waiting for replies to this one and to another. I am sorry but I find communications tedious and cannot easily reply as by email. I was unable to reverse the edit. If you have time to review what I had written in reply to others it would be appreciated. Basically, there are two issues.

1. I am the most knowledgeable person about HC De Meillon's life as I have recently had a book published on him and his ancestors: De Meillon’s Legacy – Art, Science and War by L.J. Cabri & R.W. James. Footprint Press, Hermanus, South Africa [www.footprintpress.co.za] 2020. 227 pp. Price R650.00 (hard cover). ISBN 978-1-990980-86-2

Why can't I edit the many mistakes? 2. Someone had created an entry for me that is also riddled with errors. Why can't I correct them.

Thanks Louis J. Cabri lcabri@sympatico.ca

Hello, Louis,

First it would be great if you gave me a direct link to the page of the deleted article or your username. Second, if it was deleted as a CSD G13, that is a stale draft, you don't need to explain to me what you plan to do with it, it was only deleted because there had been no editing activity on it for six months. We want to see that editors are working to improve drafts and after six months, we assume they have been abandoned. It frequently happens that new editors start articles and then never return to work on them. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:30, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Skimmermotion

Hi. The article Skimmermotion refers to a 2013 invention that has been sold since that year. It's not advertising. Its a real invention. The invention changed the way the pools were cleaned.

The team of inventors is venezuelans who are now Americans. See Automated pool cleaner in wikipedia I respectfully ask you to reconsider the measure of deleting the article.

Category:Federal electoral districts of Montreal

Hi Liz, I am disagreeing the Category:Federal electoral districts of Montreal for speedy deletion for CSD C1. I have already restored the category I have created the category since 2011. I am against a similar category Category:Federal electoral districts of Montreal and Laval because it has no province name for the article Laval, Quebec.

Hello, Steam5,

Why on Earth are you BOLDING words here?

Except for a few, limited exceptions, empty categories are tagged for deletion. If, after 7 days, they are still empty, they are deleted. If they are not empty, the tag is removed.

Problem user

Hi Liz. I think we have a problem user, namely Ndeofm. You have deleted some of their contributions already. They have also created a userpage for the nonexistent account "NdeofmBot", making it seem like a bot. On their own userpage, they also imply that it's a bot account. They also include misleading userboxes to make it appear like they are an administrator and have an edit count much higher than it really is. I can tell that the userpage is actually a mashed up copy of my userpage.

I believe they are a native speaker of Indonesian, as they have been active on Indonesian Wikipedia and seem to indicate being from Indonesia on their userpage. So there is probably a language barrier, if not also some WP:CIR issues. Can you recommend an appropriate response so that they aren't posing as an admin or bot owner? Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:21, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Drm310,

I just looked into this and it looks like their Bot pages were quickly deleted, thanks for tagging them. Although they created their account in 2012, they have only been active for about a week or so, so I'll leave them a note and remove any inappropriate userboxes. At this point, I see red flags but nothing blockworthy so I'll just keep tabs on them. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:21, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm afraid to say that they have once again added an admin userbox to their userpage. They've also received a bunch of new warnings about creating garbage pages. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:31, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Question about CSD tagging for CSK#4

Hi! Thanks for the edit and explanation here about the {{db-banned}} tag on speedy keep AfDs. In general, where should the CSD tag be placed on the page when an AfD satisfies WP:CSK#4: (

the nominated page is speedily kept while the nomination can be removed from the log, tagged with {{db-banned}} and speedily deleted as a banned contribution.
— Wikipedia:Speedy keep

Should it be placed under the section header to prevent it from being transcluded to the main AfD page? The instructions in the guideline may need a slight re-wording so the steps for handling these cases is a little clearer. — MarkH₂₁^talk 00:51, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, MarkH21,

Yes, unfortunately, CSD tags causes the AFD main page and AFD sorting pages to show up in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as having been created by blocked or banned users which might confuse patrolling admins. If it was me, I'd just alert an admin you are friendly with about the situation rather than tagging the pages which are transcluded. As for me, I think retaining deletion discussions can be useful even if they are initiated by sockpuppets which is why I didn't delete them. But I'm sure it would be difficult to find an admin who agrees with your position. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:59, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! I would actually also lean towards your position. Should the wording about {{db-banned}}-tagging at WP:CSK be revised then? Maybe I should just bring this up at Wikipedia talk:Speedy keep? — MarkH₂₁^talk 01:04, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

I don't think it ever hurts to bring up issues like this on policy talk pages. Some of them aren't on many Watchlists and won't receive many responses but others, like WT:CSD, have a lot of very experienced editors and admins who keep tabs on discussions there and can offer their opinions.

Red Link Categories

Thank you for the information, but I'm actually not sure about which ones you're referring to? Are these the categories in the Standings Templates? Or on the Men's Volleyball Conference Tournament pages? If so, you should know I actually plan on creating season team pages for each of the teams that wins their respective conference as well as those that make the NCAA Tournament. They would actually fall in the same categories as some of the red links. I was planning on waiting until the tourneys are done to do those pages because I've previously been told that I shouldn't create a category UNLESS at least two Wiki pages links to it. So are two different policies in play, or is someone misinforming people like myself? I'm more than willing to do what is asked without any problem, but I need to know which one to follow.Bigddan11 (talk) 22:42, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Bigddan11,

I actually had to go search through my contributions because I've been removing a lot of red link categories today that showed up on Special:WantedCategories.

The page that prompted my message to you was Template:Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Volleyball Tournament navbox. I removed the red link categories because they were part of a template and were showing up on article pages as well. The problem with templates and userboxes is that if they have a red link category, it shows up on every page where they are placed. Any way, if you'd like to create the categories, just revert my edit. If you'd like someone else to create the categories for you, you can go to Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects and categories.

I hope this helps explain my too-short message to you. If there is a next time, I'll try to include more helpful information. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:58, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Guidelines for manual archiving at ANI

Hey, I was just kinda curious about this - what are the guidelines you use for when to manually archive threads at ANI? (asking you since you're the most recent person to do it and seem to have a good idea of what's going on) Thanks! Elli (talk | contribs) 18:09, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Elli,

Sorry I missed your message when you first posted it. I use to do a lot of archiving at ANI when I was a new editor but I don't go there very often since I became an admin. For ANI, I usually wait at least three dates after the cases have been closed. If the page isn't very crowded, I leave them longer. I think there is an official minimum of 24 hours after a case is closed before it is archived but I think that is too short of a period for editors who participated in the discussion to see the conclusion. For AN, I leave the threads much longer, more like 5 days, because it is not as busy as a noticeboard. Just a reminder that should you decide to close a case yourself, please add {{nac}} to your statement, either at the beginning or by your signature. I hope this helps. Liz ^{Read!

Noticing the title has been previously deleted by you on grounds of C1 (empty), and per instructions in the header on the creation page, I am contacting you. This is part of an effort to cleanup and reorganize categorization related to prehistoric life in North America. The category in question will be a subcategory of Category:Lists of prehistoric life in the United States and Category:Paleozoic life of North America and will be populated by articles in the form "List of the Paleozoic life of 'U.S. state X'". It will serve similar function as Category:Lists of the Mesozoic life of the United States by state. May I go forward on this? Are there any problems you are aware? --DB1729 (talk) 13:26, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, DB1729,

This category was deleted simply because it was empty. However, since there is no permanent list of category contents, it's difficult to know what pages it held before and why it was emptied.

I can restore it as soon as an article is assigned to the category. I'd rather restore it than have it recreated so it retains its edit history. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:27, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

I have just added an article to it. You may now restore it if that's how you prefer and I will take it from there. Thanks. --DB1729 (talk) 15:33, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

GT name in Talk:John Morrison and the Miz

Hey, the name of the Good Topic changed (to better accord with MoS), so the name used in the article history template on this page does need to change, also; the solution to the redlink category is to create the corrected category, which I've now done. Thanks for noticing the category issue; I didn't even realize that GT/FTs created category membership like that! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 20:23, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Bryan,

If there are other pages in the misspelled category, you should request a speedy category rename at Categories for Discussion to keep the edit history of the original, misspelled category and so that other pages are reassigned.

I was just going through Special:WantedCategories and a lot of these red link categories are due to an editor changing a template and not realizing that it created a new category so you are right about that. Thanks! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:29, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks for the cleanup work! I do a lot of the same kind of work in categories relating to Good Articles. That's a good point about trying to preserve category history; I'll try that the next time. Thanks! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 20:40, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

I wanted to know why you deleted this article? New resources and a new award have been added to this article, which proves the reputation. What is the reason for this?--Jackpet11 (talk) 08:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

I can edit the article. It was not all copying. Please be reasonable. I ask you to retrieve the article and give me another chance because it will disappoint me--Jackpet11 (talk) 08:16, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Your removal of the CSD Tag

Hi Liz, you removed the CSD A10 Tag at Openings (The Queen's Gambit) - it seems to me that you perhaps did not read the article entirely. 95% of this article are about the already exiting Article so CSD A10 applies. CommanderWaterford (talk) 16:49, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Looks like we have both edited this page again and I think you resolved the issue. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:38, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi - You recently blocked User:Guillermo Alonso Martínez Espinoza. I suspect that this is the same editor: User:Guillermo Alonso Martínez Espinoza at Torreon LLC. They are following a similar editing pattern. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 19:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Dormskirk,

Actually, I never blocked Guillermo Alonso Martínez Espinoza but I do agree that they are the same editor so I've blocked Guillermo Alonso Martínez Espinoza at Torreon LLC as a sockpuppet. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:37, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Thx So Much Liz

Liz i just want to say thank you so much for letting me in on the teahouse group is a honor for me to be in a special place if u wanna chat i here!!!

Sincerly, Phantom Digital

Hello, Phantom Digital,

Glad to help. If I hadn't discovered the Teahouse when I started editing regularly in 2013, I wouldn't have continued to edit. I was very frustrated with being corrected by other editors and the enforcement of policies I didn't understand and I was basically complaining a lot. The Teahouse regulars at that time were very patient explaining how things were done here on Wikipedia while I tried to speed up the learning curve so I wasn't making so many mistakes. Liz ^{Read!

Question about deleted sandbox

Hi Liz, I noticed that my sandbox was deleted on April 8th, 2021. I'm a new user and was practicing in my draft space. I was wondering if you could please revert my sandbox. Thanks in advance for any help! Ketchum.e (talk) 16:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Ketchum.e,

I did delete your sandbox but all that was there was a broken redirect to User talk:The Daily Wire which is where you moved your sandbox. There is nothing to restore on that page. You'll have to talk to CambridgeBayWeather who deleted User talk:The Daily Wire as it was a page mistakenly put into user space and there is no editor with that name so it was deleted as the page of a nonexistent user. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:50, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Replying here for convenience. Ketchum.e it was partly deleted because there isn't a user by that name but also because it was tagged as a "Article for Creation" and it was a duplicate of an existing article. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:50, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi allCambridgeBayWeather - It was not a new article but rather proposed changes to the existing article. I'm new to all of this so I'm sorry if it was tagged incorrectly. Can you please revert the deletion and I will make the appropriate changes?

Ketchum.e I restored it to User:Ketchum.e/sandbox. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 22:23, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Question

Did you scold me for using an inappropriate term? If so, I apologize for not using better terminology, and I'm open to suggestions. Lay some on me, I'm all eyes. Atsme 💬 📧 20:13, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Atsme,

It actually wasn't a comment about any individual editor but about the climate that exists right now in the American political area. I think after the past few years, people are divided up into camps. I don't know the articles and talk pages well enough to know who supports what I just see evidence of this polarity on noticeboards and arbitration enforcement complaints. I don't visit the Trump/Biden/Congress/Washington, DC articles as it has seemed there are plenty of editors keeping watch over them. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:45, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

I agree, it has become a highly toxic area. Take a look at the attacks on me for simply requesting review of a close. Also look at the discussion on the closer's TP because that's where I went first, and then you'll have a bigger picture of what took place. I don't understand it. It's like you described but worse. All one has to do is oppose or question or simply express their view - and boom - they become a target of aspersions and/or ridicule. It's appalling behavior and to think it happened at AN, of all places, and nothing was said. It's really sad. 😢 Atsme 💬 📧 01:26, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Becky Bear Mahoney

Hi, Liz. I saw that you declined my CSD nomination of Draft:Becky Bear Mahoney. Should I just wait out the six months before it gets deleted as stale? Or would you say that my nomination was overly BITEy?

Best wishes, Sdrqaz (talk) 02:47, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Sdrqaz,

It's a judgment call. Some admins would have just deleted the page. But I think when it only contains a few words, I'd prefer to just blank it. Deleting a page for a new editor when the page isn't really objectionable or damaging just seems like overkill. There's a good chance that the editor will not return to edit it. I usually see this situation when editors tag user pages that have a small amount of personal information and deleting those pages just seems a bit in-your-face as long as it's not promotional. But that's my opinion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:53, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

I see, Liz. I just felt that no good could have come out of it with "the absolute man". Thanks for sharing with me the nuances of these things. Yours, Sdrqaz (talk) 13:27, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Lizzy, I want to know why you declined my CSD nomination of User:2010104aprameyan/sandbox _signed, Iflaq ^(talk) 12:51, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Iflaq,

Sometimes, when there is very little content on a user page that has been tagged for deletion, I blank the page instead. This is only when the content doesn't violate BLP or copyright guidelines. This is a judgment call on my part as an admin. I just think in some cases, deletion is overkill, especially if it a new editor and in this case, the editor only had 2 edits.

This is only for user pages, if this content was in an article or draft, I would delete it. But I think we need to allow some leeway on a user sandbox. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:56, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Thankyou @Liz, I respect you view. By the way I called you Lizzy, hope it was ok. Good-bye and Happy editing. _signed, Iflaq ^(talk) 19:10, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Draft: Muhammad Kaif Raza Khan Qadri

Hello Sir,

Sir please create an article about Muhammed Kaif Raza Khan Qadri. There is many sources available about him.

Thank You. Kaifraza786 (talk) 16:30, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Help me on this article how to avoid Speedy Deletion. Kaifraza786 (talk) 16:34, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Kaifraza786,

I'm an administrator so much of my time is spent on admin tasks, not writing articles. I recommend you visit Wikipedia:Community portal and you can find links to places on Wikipedia where you can get help. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:04, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Preemptively then

Any of the articles you're deleting under G5 that I contested, I now request to be reinstated with my support of the article content and notability of the subject matter. Draftify, if needed, though i'll be moving them back to mainspace more or less right away, as they are notable singers/actors/songs that have tons of reliable source coverage. Silverseren^C 02:47, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Silver seren,

You are laying a lot of conditions on my evaluating these articles that I do not feel that I'm the best to make...like which songs are "notable" and which aren't. I'll just not delete any articles that you contest. But I can't guarantee that the next patrolling admin won't just delete them so I think it makes the most sense to move the ones you care about. However, I have never heard of CSD G5 exemptions because another editor wants the content of the sockpuppet's articles so you might receive challenges about this. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:52, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

G5 REFUND undeletions are fairly common if another editor wants to take ownership of the content, especially in regards to articles made by banned users that wasn't specifically about the content of said articles. If someone was banned for POV or BLP article writing issues, then just rewriting from scratch is best. Otherwise, there shouldn't be a problem. In this case, the editor made a couple of hoax articles and was banned for that. But they made tons of non-hoax articles as well and I can find no indication that the ones I contested were hoaxes, since there's plenty of reliable source coverage on them. And particularly for song articles that have a structured format that really can't be made any other way. So writing from scratch would...just be the same article. Silverseren^C 02:56, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Well, I didn't recommend you remove the CSD tag because the article taggers will probably come to your talk page and ask why it was removed (at least that's what happens to me). I thought you were going to move them to your user space. But since you are taking responsibility, I hand this matter over to you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:05, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. I just don't see the point of moving them to userspace if they're notable and ready to go. Or did you mean I should move them to my userspace to then move them back to create some sort of chain of ownership? Silverseren^C 03:10, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/RIPARCA - please block

Hi Liz, will you please block this user? S0091 (talk) 20:36, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi, S0091,

Looks like Ched beat me to it! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:46, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Now requested revoking TPA. I left a note for Ched but may come to you if you are around. I went to 4 different admins over a period of 30 or so minutes (this was after it sat at AIV for a bit) but kept missing them by like 2 minutes of last activity and this user was not (and still isn't) stopping. S0091 (talk) 20:52, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

By the time I was looking at the account, the talk page access had been revoked and I reverted their last edit to the page. I remember seeing a page once that showed which admins were actively editing but I don't recall the page name now that I'm trying to remember. Usually, they are pretty fast addressing complaints at WP:AIV. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:07, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

It's [6] and what I was using but ended up with superb bad timing. Yes, usually AIV is fine but sometimes reports do sit for a while (hour or more, on occasion hours) but this particular situation really did need more immediate attention. This is actually the first time I had to go to more one admin, I think. No one was ignoring my request, simply they were not available. S0091 (talk) 21:35, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for that link, S0091, there is more available on toolforge than I knew about. I just saw a report there yesterday that was able to identify possible CSD G5 pages based on SPI reports. I'll need to bookmark some of these pages. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:43, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

That particular one is actually in the instructions at ANI. I had lost it as well and found it there. I really should keep these on a user page somewhere in case something happens and I loose my favs again. One day....S0091 (talk) 21:51, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, BancoBank,

I am actually busy with administrative tasks and I don't create or review drafts of articles. If you put {{subst:submit}} at the top of the page, it will notify the editors at Articles for Creation that your draft is ready for review. They spend their time here evaluating drafts and are the best judges of readiness for drafts to move into the main space of the project. You also can go to their talk page to ask questions. I also recommend the Teahouse for general questions about how things work on Wikipedia. Good luck with your draft! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:32, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Accusiations of (borderline) racism

Hi,

At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Killing of Ma'Khia Bryant you commented "Some of comments here border on racism that is disturbing to see in a deletion discussion on Wikipedia. But since racism exists in the off-line world, I guess we shouldn't be surprised to see it here, too. How about we assess notability of the shooting and not whether or not the victim deserved to die?"

I was one in the minority who voted to delete the article, and find accusations of even borderline racism to be a very serious accusation. What comments in the discussion border on racism? You are free to disagree with the reasons for my delete vote, of course. That is part of the reason we have AFD.

For the record, I don't believe that Ma'Khia Bryant deserved to die. In my view, it is very callous to believe that a 16-year old child deserves death. That the right of self-defense (or defense of others) sometimes allows the use of deadly force arises from the would-be-victim deserving to live, not the assailant deserving to die. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Sjakkalle,

No, it was not your comment, in fact your comment didn't even mention race. The comment I was concerned about was partially redacted. I'm sorry if you felt targeted but I was trying to make a comment about the tone of the discussion without singling anyone out. Some of the commenters seemed irritated that there was even an article on another black person who was killed by the police but it wasn't your remarks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:31, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Scorpions13256,

The problem is not making mistakes, we all do that, we run into problem when editors don't change their behavior upon learning that they made a mistake. There is a learning curve on Wikipedia and even after nearly 8 years, there are still areas of Wikipedia I don't edit or admin in because I'm less familiar with the policy and guidelines.

German American

Hi again. I restored this G8 deletion with 1700+ incoming links where an IP had inappropriately redirected it to a nonexistent title. (Another editor pointed it out off-wiki—I promise I'm not following you around, just weird coincidences!) It's similar to the Indian Academy Awards winners situation from last week. Maybe your workflow for G8 can be improved? I'd suggest double-checking anything that was recently retargeted (especially if the previous target still exists) and if the title has many incoming mainspace links, i.e., signs something fishy is going on. — The Earwig (talk) 05:06, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, The Earwig,

This was due to this page's listing of broken redirects and I should have picked up on this one immediately. Typically, these broken redirects appear after an article has been deleted but occasionally it is due to a redirect being changed to a nonexistent page. Lately, the broken redirect page has been very full due to some mass deletions of articles on villages in Iran which have been done by other admins but I will double- and triple-check all listings. The reason I even go over this page is because these are typically deletions done by a bot and I thought a human admin would catch mistakes like this and a bot would not...but in this case, it was me who missed this one. Thanks again. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:33, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Space Art (band) deletion

Hello Liz and @Revirvlkodlaku: I hope you're both well.

Hello Liz, I got notified that you deleted Draft talk:Italian Atelier earlier today, the reason being G8: Talk page of a nonexistent or deleted page. Since I'm a new user, I'd like to ask what the exact reason was and how I could improve next time. How can I also retrieve my draft? Thank you! Italianatelier-wiki (talk) 17:21, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Italianatelier-wiki,

Talk pages are where editors on Wikipedia go to have discussions about articles and pages. I believe you placed a draft on the draft talk page, not the draft page and since talk pages don't exist without a page to discuss, orphaned talk pages are deleted. I can restore your draft and move it to a draft page. Please keep talk pages reserved for discussions with other editors.

If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia, I recommend visiting the Teahouse where experienced editors can address any concerns you have. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:34, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Theroadislong,

I always check to confirm the page creator is a blocked sockpuppet and is the main contributor to the page. Some editors CSD G5 tag articles as soon as an editor is reported at SPI so your eagerness is not unusual (which is why I check). The way I look at it is, there is no hurry to delete their page creations if they are a sockpuppet and if they are shown to NOT be a sockpuppet, it's pretty awkward to go around restoring all of their deleted pages.

Hello, Jonesey95,

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't think about this template's transclusions so I'm just removing them manually. There might be a bot that will do this but I don't know which one that would be. This deletion was a template creator request, not through a TFD discussion and I'm sure if that route had been taken, a bot would do all of the heavy lifting. Liz ^{Read!

Category:Florida circuit courts

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I emptied Category:Florida circuit courts on April 30, and CSD C1 requires us to wait for 7 days prior to deletion. Edge3 (talk) 16:29, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Edge3,

You are correct that the category needs to be empty for 7 days before deletion. But the category is tagged on the first day it is empty. That's how the system keeps track of the 7 day period...it's 7 days after the category has been tagged that it is empty. Empty categories that are tagged CSD C1 do not get deleted until 7 days have passed since they were tagged AND if they are still empty. Empty categories that are tagged that are not empty after 7 days have the tag removed. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:29, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

P.S. Editors are not supposed to empty categories "out-of-process". If you want to rename a category, merge categories or delete categories, please nominate them at WP:CFD. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:09, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Ah, thank you for clarifying! I don't have much experience with speedy deletions, so I appreciate your willingness to explain the process. As for the changes I made, I actually blanked several articles (Seventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, Tenth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, and Eighteenth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida) and redirected them to Florida circuit courts. That is why Category:Florida circuit courts is now empty. Hopefully that was the correct procedure; please let me know if it was not. Edge3 (talk) 01:59, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

FYI - in case this gets questioned, I posted a quick note at Talk:Florida circuit courts to explain what I did. Edge3 (talk) 16:23, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

That's excellent, Edge3. Although you might run into pushback by announcing bold actions you've taken, it's always better to be transparent than doing edits surreptitiously. I'm not saying that's what you did but it's how things can be perceived by others. As for whether you did the correct action, I'm not knowledgeable about Wikipedia's category structure on the U.S. court system. I'd look at how other states' court categories are organized and emulate the best examples. Of course, it could be that your system is superior and then you could take on other states besides Florida! There is never a shortage of work to be done here. Liz ^{Read!

Treptichnus pedum

Hi Liz. I have requested a move on this article at Talk:Treptichnus pedum. This article should clearly exist at the genus level. I was previously simply follwing the advice obtained at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1102 § Swap page title with one of a page title redirecting to the first page. Thanks. YorkshireExpat (talk) 09:11, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, YorkshireExpat,

The example you link to at the Teahouse was a page and a redirect that had no history. In the recent case, you wanted to delete a page with a 14 year edit history to replace it with a different article. These are two different situations. We typically try to preserve the page with the fuller, longer edit history rather than replace it with a new article because we need to preserve attribution history. That's why I suggested merging the content of two articles rather than deleting one. Is there a reason why you don't want to do this? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:55, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello @Liz:. For paleontology articles convention is for the article to exist at the genus level, not species, e.g. Tyrannosaurus is the page that exists and Tyrannosaurus rex is a redirect to that. This currently the wrong way round with Treptichnus pedum and Treptichnus. Note also the 'other species' section that exists on both pages; in my view that would be enough to justify moving the article for an extant species. Essentially, the contents need swapping, but I appreciate the need to maintain history (hence, don't just swap manually (looking at the history for Treptichnus someone has tried to do this already and it got reverted)). I don't think I had grasped the subtleties involved. I have rasied a request here now; hopefully this is correct. Thanks.YorkshireExpat (talk) 08:01, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Atossa Therapeutics

You deleted the page citing that the page only cited its own website. However, all those cites were removed and the article was re-cited with independent sources several days ago. Is it possible to re-evaluate again as it seems the edit was overlooked. Thank you.73.0.115.41 (talk) 19:49, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, 73.0.115.41,

A few comments. The rationale for deleting a Proposed deletion is added by the person proposing deletion, not by the administrator who deletes the page. Second, there are three formal types of deletion for articles on Wikipedia, Speedy deletion, Proposed deletion or PRODs and Articles for deletion or AFDs. AFDs involve a week-long discussion and those types of deletion are difficult to undo. Speedy deletion tags can be removed if you are not the page creator but your tag removal might be challenged. But for PRODs, an editor who disagrees with the deletion rationale is able to remove the tag and any contested PROD can be easily restored. Atossa Therapeutics was deleted as a PROD and since you challenged it, I was able to restore it. The only caveat is that the editor who PROD'd the article might decide to propose it for deletion at AFD...if they choose to do so, you can always go to this discussion and argue against its deletion. But, as of now, the article and its talk page are restored upon your request.

Sorry if this all is confusing, if you ever have questions about policies and procedures on Wikipedia, the Teahouse is a good place to go for answers. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:06, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Handling G5s

I find your rationale over some of the pages[8][9][10] concerning Kashmorwiki to be misleading. This isn't how G5 is actually treated here.

G5 is very clear that "This applies to pages created by banned or blocked users in violation of their ban or block, and that have no substantial edits by others."

It has been already clarified a number of times on administrator noticeboards that mere editing, reverts, touchups don't count as "substantial" edits.[11][12]

To make it more simple, G5 was supposed to get rid of contributions made in violation of ban or block. If no one is coming ahead to take responsibility for the creation then you are supposed to delete the page. That's how G5 works. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 08:06, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Question about Undeletion

Hi Liz, I would like to ask if there is a chance to restore article Giovanni Morassutti. I am aware it went through an AFD and there is the sockpuppet issue but the page has been reviewed two times and in my humble opinion it qualifies for a Wikipedia article and meets GNG since there is significant coverage in independent, published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject like this, this or this. What do you reccomend in this kind of situation? Thanks --Ibudolor (talk) 19:15, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

notice of deletion review

Since you mentioned on my talk page that I shouldn't add red categories, I thought you might be interested in seeing the deletion review of Asian-American librarians, which relates to the notice you left for American librarians of Korean descent. Thanks in advance for any help you'd be willing to provide. Skvader (talk) 21:44, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Skvader,

I leave quite a few notices about red link categories when I'm working on Special:WantedCategories as reminders to editors to not add red link categories if they aren't going to create the categories themselves because when editors add red link categories, 95% of the time, it requires other editors to go back to those articles and remove those nonexistent categories. So, it just creates work for other editors who need to go and undo their addition. These notices are meant to be an informational message rather than a reprimand because many editors aren't familiar with the category creation process. These instances usually aren't complicated like your situation that involves a deletion review. I assume if the category is restored, it will no longer be a red link category. Liz ^{Read!

Speedy to review

Hello Liz, Could you review Illegal gymnastic skills soeedy deletion ? "Illegal" should not be taken literally (law) but in the context of gymnastic (banned). There are sources available online and on Wikipedia, it generally refers to dangerous gymnastic routines-moves (called "skill") or to overly repeatitive ones, banned by international gymnastic associations. I am on mobile right now so i wasn't able to edit much, but listing those banned gymnastic moves shouldn't be controversial, and the hoax-based speedy deletion is incorrect. Wikipedia itself documents several gymnastic skills (=routines=moves), detailling why they are banned/illegal. At least one existing Wikipedia article use the term "illegal" and online sources do as well. At least Thomas salto and Korbut flip ("illegal to stand on top of the bars") are documented, within Wikipedia, as illegal/banned gymnastic skill. I'm confident other banned gymnastic skills are documented elsewhere on Wikipedia. A quick search online return a dozen(s) more banned gysmnastic skills. Such list-article will need some care tho, possibly to rename it in order to avoid litteral reading (law) and confusion. "List of banned gymnastic skills" could be more suitable and source can be added, but i dont see the rational to speedy delete it based on hoax argument. Yug (talk) 09:21, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Yug,

I think the main problem with this page is that it has no references at all and so it looks like original research.

Moved to Draft:List of banned gymnastics skills.

Hello Liz, I eventually made a quick sourcing using sources cited in other Wikipedia articles and added another one from a sport outlet. I searched the official FÉDÉRATION INTERNATIONALE DE GYMNASTIQUE documentation, but the document seems to avoid to mention these forbidden skills by name. fr:Salto Thomas cites this previous document, but uses a section with broader terms which then implies a type of move-skills is banned (given this definition we can interpret that Thomas Salto is banned). Could you mentor me on this one ? I don't dare to move it back by myself since this side-project wikification already earned me hoax accusations by 2 admins. IMO, this content could also simply worth a minor section within Code of Points (artistic gymnastics). It would be ideal since it would encourage others contributors with interest in Gymnastic to complete the list. I will then asap move out of this topic. Yug (talk) 14:50, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Would Potentially Like to Request Recreation of a Page Previously Deleted

Hi Liz,

I tried to create an article about the company I work for at the end of 2019. It was rejected due to lack of notability (and also possibly due to my COI) and 6 months later you deleted it due to inactivity. We have more sources now and I would therefore like to consider reactivating it (with the same title) and trying again to get it published, this time with the new sources, and not as a separate article in itself but as a scaled-down English-language version/translation of the Czech original. Are you the right person to ask for reactivation? If so, it's also worth noting that I don't want to submit anything for review yet. I am a little confused about Wikipedia's processes and want to collect all the info before acting, so as to prevent any fumbles. Thanks in advance for help.

Unnecessary restaurations

Hi Liz, I'm just going to ask what is the reason for restoring deleted edits if apparently no one has asked you to do so. It seems to me more like a form of punishment on your part for recreating some deleted Starzoner drafts, is that forbidden?

It would be very courteous of you to at least give an answer instead of continuing to restore edits of a user blocked multiple times and who has created and abandoned hundreds of drafts, otherwise I will have to report your actions where appropriate, since apparently only You do it for particular reasons and not because I have violated any policy.
