User talk:ColorfulSmoke

Welcome

Hello! I am assuming you have come over from the English Wikipedia, so you are probably familiar with the way this wiki works. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are a few links to help you adjust:

• An English Wikipedian's guide
• Writing in Simple English
• Simple talk: our help desk, reference desk and village pump- in one page
• How to copy from English Wikipedia

There is much to do here. For example, there are a lot of articles that do not exist yet, which you can bring over from the English Wikipedia and simplify. Do have a look around and see what you would like to do. Thank you for joining us, and you know how to contact me if you need help. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 14:15, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

August 2020

We like and strongly encourage helpful changes to Wikipedia, but an article you created was directly copied and pasted from the main English Wikipedia. Please do not do that. Such articles are usually too complex. They need to be simplified before or immediately after being added to the Simple English Wikipedia. In addition, be sure to include attribution on the article's talk page. Thank you. --IWI (talk) 22:06, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Placing notices

Notices, such as QD requests, should be placed at the top of the page, not somewhere inside it. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:11, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

"List of state leaders" articles

Hello ColorfulSmoke. I'm just wondering why you have nominated all these "List of state leaders in YYYY" articles for deletion, were they all created as a mistake? --Ferien (talk) 08:41, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Would like to ask the same question for the list of country by year pages.-BRP ^ever 15:31, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

@BRPever: i wanted my lists to be deleted and be created as a redirect for now. ColorfulSmoke (talk) 15:41, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

You can just redirect them if you feel appropriate, they don't have to be deleted. Just replace all the content in the page with #REDIRECT [[YOUR TARGET]] and replace 'YOUR TARGET' with the page you want to redirect it to.-BRP ^ever 15:44, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

@BRPever: the real-real reason i wanted the lists to be deleted is because i made so many edits on the lists. Most of my contributions are related to List of countries in YEAR. ColorfulSmoke (talk) 17:42, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

QDs

Please be aware that since someone else has edited all those pages they don't qualify for the creator QD. -Djsasso (talk) 18:46, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

And we can only delete pages quickly for reasons listed at WP:QD. The reason you gave for the "list of sovereign states" redirects were not reasons for quick deletion. --Ferien (talk) 20:34, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Please remember to sign when you leave messages

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Just in case you didn't know, when you post messages on talkpages and Wikipedia pages, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ("~~~~") at the end of your message. You can also click on the signature button ( or ), located in the edit toolbar, which is above the change window. This will put a signature containing your user name or IP address and the time you posted the message. This information is useful because other users will be able to tell who said what, and when. Pages that may require a signature, such as Talk:List of countries in 1950, Talk:List of countries in 1951, Talk:List of countries in 1952. Thank you for your participation. --Cewbot (talk) 01:48, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

List of state leaders

I can see I had discussed this before and the pages were deleted. It appears you have created them again and you want them deleted again. Please be aware you are mass creating these articles and it takes a lot of time for admins to fulfill those deletion requests when we have to go on each page and delete them. Even the nuke tool can't be used in most cases because these articles were created too long ago. Also this isn't part of the QD criteria, I assume you want us to delete the pages per G7, which even I think is not possible because you can't have created all those articles as mistakes. --Ferien (talk) 09:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

List of sovereign states in...

You keep on requesting quick deletion of these userpages. Do you want all of these types of user subpages deleted? If so, I can just mass delete all of them without you having to go and request deletion for each individual one. Saves a lot of time. --Ferien (talk) 19:41, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Or you could list the ones you want deleted and I could delete just those. --Ferien (talk) 19:48, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
