Nomination for deletion of Template:Info needed

January 2020

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Peter Wright (darts player): you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Pkbwcgs (talk) 21:48, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Im well aware of them, I just can't be bothered and don't want to find random talk pages on my watchlist that I forget to unwatch. Nixinova T C 22:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you use Twinkle to revert vandalism, you can change your preferences at Wikipedia:Twinkle/Preferences to make sure that it doesn't add the pages you revert vandalism on your watchlist. Pkbwcgs (talk) 09:45, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Nixinova T C 20:36, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recent speedy deletion tagging

You recently tagged a number of redirects to various decade pages with the reason "not the same thing". That may be true, but that is not one of the speedy deletion criteria. I have declined the speedy deletion requests. The criteria are intentionally narrow and strict, and a page that does not pretty clearly adhere to one (or more) of them should not be tagged for speedy deletion. You can take any redirect you think is not useful to WP:RFD. Twinkle can help form nominations if you so choose. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 21:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Hacking in the 2020s

A tag has been placed on Category:Hacking in the 2020s requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:23, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Nixinova,

Do not remove deletion tags from pages you have created. The notice above is a courtesy message. Empty categories are deleted 7 days after they are originally tagged unless they fall within a small list of exceptions. Wikipedia guidelines do not allow for the creation categories in anticipation that they might be needed some time in the future. If the category no longer is empty during the 7 days after it is originally tagged, the tag is removed. If the category is deleted and, in the future, is needed, feel free to recreate it. Thank you.

Mike Moore references

You've twice removed all the citations I've added to the "honours" section. Can you replace. Thanks. MurielMary (talk) 03:24, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what I'm doing, we were both editing the article at the same time so our edits overwrote each other, see WP:Edit conflict. Nixinova T C 03:25, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

American politics discretionary sanctions notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Iowa Caucus Map

Hi @Nixinova: I wanted to ask you how can I update colors on Iowa Democratic Caucus Map or other maps like this, [1]. I don’t really know how to do that, I was wondering if, you could teach me of how to do it. Thank you - Centrist1 (talk) 06:07, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Centrist1: What I did is open the SVG in a browser (here), open the browser dev tools, use the pointer in the top-right of the dev tools in Chrome to select a county, then change the fill value inside the element.style { section in the dev tools to a different colour. After I'm done I scroll up, right click the element that starts with <svgxmlns:dc... and copy&paste that into notepad, saving the file as a .svg. Hope this helps. Nixinova T C 07:23, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I will try. - Centrist1 (talk) 07:25, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New rights

Hi Nixinova. I know you from the Minecraft Wiki (I'm Amatulic there), you're an admin there, I'm an admin here, and I know you can be trusted with tools, so I have granted you rollbacker and autoreviewer rights here. Let me know if there's anything else you need. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:05, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Minecraft Server

Hi! I got your message about the edit I made on the Minecraft Server page I’ve added three citations which redirect to these links: The Minecraft Bedrock server download, List of Bedrock edition server software and a question on the SpigotMC page. Are those sources valid? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MasterMinedMyWayOuttaHere (talk • contribs) 09:06, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MasterMinedMyWayOuttaHere:, Wikipedia prefers secondary sources (news articles, etc) over primary sources (the website of the subject, etc; for example Minecraft.net or Spigot.org), and user wikis such as the Minecraft Wiki shouldn't be used either. Your sources aren't invalid, per se, but could you find any articles that back up your information? Nixinova T C 19:52, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
