Contesting the Speedy Deletion for Mae Eleanor Frey article

Hi Cabayi - I am not sure why my article was deleted as I am a new editor with Wikipedia. The woman I wrote about has written 2 books, many articles, and published her own newspaper at one point. She has also been dead for a number of years. I provided all the citations that I thought was necessary. I am part of the 1000 Women in Religion Project and did not mean to post it 2 times. I didn't realize it was deleted the first time. Thanks for your help with this. Drdfulthorp (talk) 22:05, 16 April 2020 (UTC)DrDfulthorp[reply]

Hi Drdfulthorp, apart from a 25-or-so word introductory paragraph, the text of the deleted article looks looks almost identical to the draft at Draft:Mae Eleanor Frey: Early 20th Century Pentecostal Matriarch. The deleted article has the drawback that its footnote links are hardcoded to go to one of your user pages...

Traveling from coast to coast as well as abroad, she actively preached, pastored, traveled and authored religious novels until she passed away at 89 years old.[[User:Drdfulthorp/Mae Eleanor Frey#%20ftn2|[2]]]

so they'll all come up as red links. The references in the draft will also break if the page is moved, but at least they work where the page currently sits.

Traveling from coast to coast as well as abroad, she actively preached, pastored, traveled and authored religious novels until she passed away at 89 years old.[[Draft:Mae Eleanor Frey: Early 20th Century Pentecostal Matriarch#%20ftn2|[2]]]

You obviously know the correct way to use references, you've done so before here - Special:Diff/947355507, I don't understand your reluctance to repair the refs in this draft?

I left you a note at User talk:Drdfulthorp#Speedy deletion of Mae Eleanor Frey when the copy in article space was deleted, outlining what need to be fixed before the draft would be ready for review. You don't appear to have acted on any of that advice. It's really encouraging to note that it was time well spent on my part telling you what needed to be done.

Hi Cabayi, I apologize I did not see your help. I am still very new to Wikipedia. Although I started in October/November - I don't get on here very often. And I realized the e-mail that I set up was getting the talk notifications in my spam. The actual edits I've done to practice were all guided by someone either through a Wikipedia edit-a-thon session or through a Zoom session. I did not mean to offend you. I truly appreciate your advice -I just don't know where or how to access the advice that you mentioned, and it has been awhile since I did the reference, I cannot remember what I did. I truly am sending a heartfelt apology - I honestly, don't know what I'm doing yet... maybe one day I will catch on to Wikipedia. But I have a lot to learn! I'm not reluctant to make the repairs, I just need some time to figure out where you posted that, and how I can find it. I didn't even know that the article was deleted for a reason ... I thought that I accidentally deleted something myself. That was why I re-posted it. I'm not even sure if I'm doing this talk page correctly...?

Thanks for your consideration. Drdfulthorp (talk) 17:41, 17 April 2020 (UTC)DrDfulthorp[reply]

And honestly, the exchange here with you saying that I obviously ignored the edits makes me want to give up trying to use Wikipedia. I drafted that article, but wasn't quite sure how to post it or if it was connected to my name or what that all means. I think I will wait until later to pick this up again. I don't quite understand things yet. Sorry to have troubled you. Drdfulthorp (talk) 17:45, 17 April 2020 (UTC)DrDfulthorp[reply]

Drdfulthorp, I know how you feel. I spent 20 minutes or more putting together the advice thinking I was helping a new editor. Finding you hadn't read the content of your talk page was disheartening.

Not to put you off but, at 20 edits in 15 months, it's going to feel like a painful and very protracted learning curve. You may find WP:TWA a quicker way to get up to speed. Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 19:34, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re-open ANI

How do you reopen an ANI? Hullabaloo had made it clear he did not wish to argue to me and is Wikilaywering over the wording of the policy. He even deleted my comment replying to his comment. Therefore I wish to re-open Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Hullaballoo_Wolfowitz's_signature --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 19:48, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tyw7, that's not something I've ever done. Adding fresh text outside the original discussion as you did looks safest to me. I'm sure someone will put it right if it's not acceptable. Cabayi (talk) 19:53, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A Big Thank You!

Hi Cabayi, thank you declining your decision. I know I was temporary inactive and I was focused on COVID-19 related articles for some urgent editing whenever I am ready for editing. I know it wasn't my fault. I have defended my strong and good comments and I never vandalized or disrupt my editing. I was temporary inactive for some relaxation. And when I am ready to continue focusing on COVID-19 related articles for editing now is the time. So I will continue more edits on COVID-19, if I am ready to continue. So once again, thank you and I will continue to focus on COVID-19 related articles for editing and good luck to you. All the best. Have a good life. Bye bye.

Back again?

Hi, could you please have a look here[1]? Might be Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bloody Knight Rider or a new group? --Sambhil32 (talk) 11:56, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet

I’m not a sockpuppet account. I have multiple accounts, as now declared due to being asked to make a new account. MarioDom is tagging irrelevant things because he or she has issues with users on a few Wikipedia pages. The IP address is simply from when I’m editing off my phone, and not logged in. Whodoeswhatnow (talk) 19:51, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible to assign my IP edits to my account? Whodoeswhatnow (talk) 08:57, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whodoeswhatnow, no, it's not possible. You could declare the connection on the IP's talk page, but what would be the point? The principal reasoning for having accounts is that your edits can't be tied to your IP and through that to your real world person, which can be risky in some parts of the world.

There are a few points I'd like you to consider...

If you declared which are your other accounts on your userpage it would remove the suspicion you're trying to hide something nefarious. I have such a declaration at the foot of my userpage - it's never been questioned.
Remember to log in on your phone.
Using multiple accounts is risky. It's way too easy to use the wrong account and make WP:ILLEGIT edits. Sooner or later you'll make a mistake which will be seen as deceptive and get both accounts blocked as a result.

Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 09:22, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is a declaration of my accounts on my page though... I did just that. Whodoeswhatnow (talk) 16:02, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whodoeswhatnow, not quite. You've declared it's an alternative account but you make no mention of which other accounts you had/have. Cabayi (talk) 19:41, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doppelganger?

Hi, I noticed that a user created an account for < User:Cabeyi > today, and redirected their user page and user talk page to yours. For the redirects, they gave as the edit summary: "Create doppleganger per WP:USURP. See my talk page." That seems odd to me, so I just want to let you know. If you're already aware of this, sorry to bother you. :) — Toughpigs (talk) 22:12, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not very admin–like edits either.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:23, 27 April 2020 (UTC) (update: blocked as LTA)[reply]

Thank you for voting Keep on my article, but your vote was deleted by the other admin

Hi Cabeyi, A few hours ago you voted Keep in the discussion of Marly (Almir Leka) page, but your comment was deleted by the admin Praxidicae, I’m thanking you for voting pro keeping my page, and would ask you if you could do me a favor by reinstating your opinion because it has been deleted. Thank you again for the positivity Best regards, Akelrimla Akelrimla (talk) 23:33, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Akelrimla, that vote wasn't made by Cabayi but by a vandal account "Cabeyi" which has since been blocked. Schazjmd (talk) 23:44, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. It's being investigated - Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Akelrimla. Cabayi (talk) 07:56, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
