Milk Boston Band

"Do not create: pages about yourself, your company, your band, or your friends" . This page was created by a friend about this band, which violates Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. Please revert it to the single paragraph, which is, again, a sufficient amount of information about the band for the general public.https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SkyWarrior&action=edit&section=new# — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.149.153 (talk) 18:14, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CSD says not to tag articles undergoing deletion discussion

This is a quick heads up that WP:CSD says not to tag articles undergoing deletion discussion with a speedy deletion tag. Once an article makes AfD (article for deletion), we no longer tag it: “criteria for speedy deletion (CSD) specify the only cases in which administrators have broad consensus to bypass deletion discussion” — that doesn’t apply once an article is in AfD. Samboy (talk) 19:59, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to argue that. It doesn't specifically say that once an article is at AfD it cannot be nominated for CSD. I would also argue that, if it did, that since the AfD was created by a sock, and that there is endorsement from all other significant editors to speedy, then G5 would be except from that rule. SkyWarrior 20:08, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see the diff. You’re right: Users can not use remove their own speedy delete tag. But, since it is in AfD, we need to now end it with a discussion. Samboy (talk) 20:18, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of someone else's AfD vote

Just wondering what the justification for this was? Fqn9010e0754032 (talk) 20:26, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Fqn9010e0754032: Initially, for blatant trolling (see the user's diffs and block), but in that time the user has been confirmed a sock of a banned user. SkyWarrior 20:28, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, makes sense. Fqn9010e0754032 (talk) 20:29, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the fix

Apologies, that was my first try at using Twinkle for an AfD, I didn't realize it would append the text to the old one instead of starting a new one. I appreciate the fix, I'll know better next time. JamesG5 (talk) 21:00, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. By the way, there should be an option to create an AfD when you click on a page (without using Page Curation or going to actually edit the page) under the TW tab; this is how I was able to fix the AfD. SkyWarrior 21:02, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pending changes reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes.

Regarding the Attack on the Congressional Baseball Game

Hi there. Although I am an inexperienced editor to Wikipedia, I believe that we both share the common goal of improving it.

In the spirit of WP:BOLD, I edited Congressional Baseball Game to reflect that the article was now out of date due to the tragedy that occurred there. Specifically, I added the Outdated template.

A few minutes ago, I checked the article again and noticed that my edit was reverted!
At this point, I hoped that you removed it because you or someone else documented the attack.
Furthermore, half an hour later you created 2017 Congressional Baseball attack to redirect to Congressional Baseball Game.

My hopes were then dashed. I could understand removing the outdated template, but to me, adding that redirect seems like a deliberate attempt to prevent people from accessing information on this tragedy. Please help me understand what's going on here.

I hope you'll understand my point of view that this is a tragedy, regardless of anyone's political affiliations. Nobody deserved this.

Thank you very much for your consideration, and I truly hope that you have a great day or night or wherever the sun is where you are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lol MD4 (talk • contribs) 15:42, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lol MD4. I'm getting the sense, by the above, that you didn't even look at the edit I made to Congressional Baseball game. If you had actually looked, you would've found that I did add info about the attack, which is why I removed the tag. Furthermore, there is already an article on the shooting, and 2017 Congressional Baseball attack redirects to there, not to the game. SkyWarrior 15:49, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying this. I shouldn't have assumed bad faith, and here's why I did so:

As it turns out I was trying to diff edits in the wrong way. I didn't notice who added that paragraph. Since the addition was on the left side instead of the right of my screen, I had assumed that someone other than you had added that paragraph and then you removed it.

Beyond that though, I really assumed the worst in you. This was certainly bias on my end against some people (or nobody, perhaps) who I thought might actually try to censor Wikipedia. This division in mindset is part of what caused this tragedy in the first place.

Thanks for only slightly roasting me, because I definitely deserved it. I'll definitely work on challenging my assumptions more in the future.

Cheers
