Withdraw GA for Meet the Woo 2?

Hello. I was wondering if you could withdraw the good article nomination of Meet the Woo 2 that I put up. I come to realize that the article is way too complex and needs to be worked on more before I nominate it again. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 00:15, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Doubt regarding GA and VGA

Hi, sorry to bother you with this but I would like to ask you whether the article Interlingue is more suited for a Very Good Article or for a Good Article as I see it is a very complete one. --Caro de Segeda (talk) 09:08, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some words

Hello @Eptalon, You have always been kind to me.

But you see, all articles I wrote or wanted to improve with sourcing were not accepted. So many pages are here in simple English wikipedia without sources, but they will not be deleted. But Allways mine... The problem is the mentality. It just doesn't fit. These people don't understand me. The same game was in german and english wikipedia. So much selfish People. No matter what I write is not good enough for them, my sources are worth nothing in their eyes. As soon as I argue something against it, Im the bad guy and I would be banned. Yet, If they want, they can delete all my articles. It doesnt matter me anymore. If you look this: https://guc.toolforge.org/?user=Praxidicae, this User wrote in many different languages via google translator in several wikipedia pages and made changes without knowledge. As example in the romani language this user used the romanian language :) laughable. Romani and Romanian language is different like water and earth. Aber die blockt andere User ohne sinn. Nalanidil (talk) 21:18, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you dfro the worjk that you do. Yes, it is good to take pride in one's creations, as you say, creating an artile can be a lot of work. Please look at the requests ofr deltetion for what they are: A specific article is nominated, because it has problems. In this Wikipedia, we did not give ourselves the rules to delete an article, because it was created by a specific user. And yes, some of my articles also got deleted; it is not nice to delete articles, but sometimetimes it is simply easier to delete an article, and then re-create it (rather than taking the time to clean it up). Likely I won't be the admin who closes these RfDs, but I trust the other admins to have a sound look at the arguments, and decide based on the arguments. No, RfD is not a vote. I don't think you should retire from this wikipedia, because some of your work gets deleted, but that's just my opinion. Keep up the good work you do.

endügltig genug

Hallo @Eptalon. Wie du siehst geht das Spiel gegen mich erneut los. Ich habe in den letzten Tagen viel über und in Wikipedia gelesen, Was da so abgeht...Nein ich möchte wirklich nichts mehr in Wikipedia schreiben. Ich ärgere mich doch nicht jeden Tag mit Menschen wie Gotanda oder Pure Evil und viele andere, ganz zu schweigen von gewissen Admins. Also machs gut. Ich habe die Nerven nicht dazu. Nalanidil (talk) 00:49, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Naanidil, es ist schade, dass du geshst. Machs gut, vielleicht findest du ja eine andere Wikipedia, wo du schreiben kannst. Ich möchte diesbezüglich nichts zu deutschprachigen oder englischsprachigen Wikipedia sagen; dass sind auch eigene Gruppen, mit sehr spezifischen Vorstellungen. Machs auf alle Fälle gut. Sorry dass ich nicht anders helfen konnte. Eptalon (talk) 01:01, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nein ich werde gar nichts mehr auf Wikipedia schreiben egal in welcher Sprache, denn diesen Sysops wo ich dir den Link gegeben habe, treibt es ja wirklich bunt. In jeder Wikipsrache mit google translater, User blocken, ändern usw.
Viele haben sich gegen die beschwert, aber das lässt die kalt. Das ist für mich nicht haltbar sowas. Es gibt einen Unterschied zwischen der Deutschen und Englischen Wikipedia. In der Deutschen Wikipedia sind sehr viele selbsternannte Historiker die auf intelektuell machen, in der englischen wiki schwirren mir zuviele ungebildete amerikanische hausfrauen herum, die andere User nur drohen, blokieren und Artikel löschen und verändern. Auf so ein billiges Niveau gebe ich mich nicht herab.
Ne das Thema Wikipedia hat sich endgültig für mich erledigt. Da sind mir zu viele komische Menschen.
Danke dir, machs auch gut. Nalanidil (talk) 01:31, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

QDs

You deleted Alexis Baugh and Adrianne Baugh as G7 but the author didn't request deletion or blank the page. In fact, it was another editor that was userifying pages which we really don't do here often. Please check the pages you're deleting. Operator873 connect 22:37, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of hackers article

What in the world do you mean my article don't claim notability, How did it go through the original Wikipedia and not this one, It literally is a simpler version then the one on the original Wikipedia, You don't make any sense. 67.140.248.189 (talk) 21:22, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello IP, I have restored the article, ansd nominated it for regular deletion, let's see what the community thinks. My personal view: This is just a list of names, no idea why a given name is (or isn't) on the list. Also the term "hacker" can have a very broad meaning, in which case there's no notabililty.

Wheel war

I trust you have an exceptionally' good reason for removing my CheckUser blocks with "no bad behavior". Operator873 connect 23:27, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We ran the CU about the same time (I wasn't aware you were running the CU too), and when I checked all I found was that a page up for RfD was re-created (which imo, is itself no bad behaviour). You'll have looked at the situation, and assessed it differently, so go ahead and re-block. Eptalon (talk) 23:30, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So.... WP:SOCK is no longer bad behaviour? And I assumed most sysops knew not to reverse a block from another admin without first consulting with them? I've very confused and, frankly, concerned about your recent actions involving the tool set. Operator873 connect 23:33, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As you ran the checkuser as well, I'll leave you to comment on the RFCU page. Eptalon (talk) 23:44, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
At this point, I need you to respond to the question about whether socking is bad behavior. In addition, I need you to explain why lock evasion isn't something that would concern you. Operator873 connect 23:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To make it clear: Sockpuppetry is bad behavior. With lock evasion, the answer is perhaps a bit more nuanced: An editor gets locked because he/she has committed multiple infractions (likely on more than one wiki). As such, if I find that editor A (locked) and editor B (not locked) are the same, this does concerns me, as it means that there may be possible harm to the wiki. That however, is only half of the truth.As the system is implemented, locks do not expire. In the short run, this may be a good thing, because you know that editor A did bad things, which brought the community to lock the editor. In the long run however (we are tallking years here), people will change; the editor might want to contribute constructively, because he/she saw that what was done in the past, was an error. But as he/she is locked, he/she can't; and there's no way to tell a community to re-evaluate a lock; suppose I was locked, and I wrote you a mail: 'please unlock me': What would you base your decision on? - likely I haven't edited in years, and each time I tried to get around the lock, there would have been a re-block of usernames. Look at when I ran for steward, last year. Exactly the same happened, people asked me about an event (In 2012 I think); they weren't satisfied with the answers, and this was one of the reasons, i wasn't elected. But let's sum it up: Lock evasion does concern me, there's no use judging a system, because as a single user, there's little hope in changing it. Eptalon (talk) 00:18, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And as a checkuser, judging whether a lock is appropriate isn't my task. That's the task of those who lock users. Eptalon (talk) 00:25, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But Samlaptop is a locked user. It is outside Simple English Wikipedia's purview to decide if it has been long enough to, as you implied, ignore the lock. Operator873 connect 00:31, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Zakia Khudadadi also spelt as Zakia Khodadadi (Pashto: ذکیه خدادادی; born 29 September 1998) is an Afghan parataekwondo practitioner. She is the first Afghan female taekwondo practitioner. She rose to prominence after winning the African International Parataekwondo Championship in 2016 at the age of 18. She represented Afghanistan at the 2020 Summer Paralympics. She was initially denied the opportunity to compete at her maiden Paralympics due to the Taliban takeover but she was later allowed by the International Paralympic Committee to compete in the event after being safely evacuated from Afghanistan. She was able to compete and became the first Afghan female Paralympic competitor to compete at the Paralympics after 17 years since Mareena Karim's participation at the 2004 Summer Paralympics. She also officially became the first Afghan female sportsperson to participate in an international sporting event after the Taliban takeover.

The Léopoldville riots were an outbreak of civil disorder in Léopoldville (modern-day Kinshasa) in the Belgian Congo which took place in January 1959 and which were an important moment for the Congolese independence movement. The rioting occurred when members of the Alliance des Bakongo (ABAKO) political party were not allowed to assemble for a protest and colonial authorities reacted harshly. The exact death toll is not known, but at least 49 people were killed and total casualties may have been as high as 500. Following these riots, a round table conference was organized in Brussels to negotiate the terms of Congo's independence, The Congo received its independence on 30 June 1960, becoming the Republic of the Congo.

Bot issues

Your edits from the bot on the infobox wrestler articles seems to be clipping the infobox off. I don't know how bad the span of articles is yet. It seems to be a nowiki issue around a pipe near the bottom of the infobox (resides ? ) which is causing the infobox to end early and display the rest of it as prose. Pure Evil (talk) 20:49, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My Bot uses regular expressions/Pattern-matching, which I fine-tuned a few times today. I still see it hanging/misbehaving in some cases, namely:
  • Pipe symbol, with empty line, or closing two curly braces, possibly separated by spaces
  • Parameter on its own line, but not starting with a pipe symbol.
  • The paramerers are supposed to be key = value; especially in the case where value contained references, equal signs or curly braces, it doesn't always work as advertised.
  • There's a bit of magic (it expects the closing curly braces within 5 characters of the last key.value pair).
So yes, I know the bot isn't perfect. Eptalon (talk) 21:03, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Nzimiro, birthname Mary Nwametu Onumonu, MBE (1898–1993) was a pioneering Nigerian businesswoman, politician and women's activist. In 1948, she was appointed principal representative of the United Africa Company (UAC) for Eastern Nigeria, while maintaining textile and cosmetics retail outlets of her own in Port Harcourt, Aba and Owerri. By the early 1950s, she was among the richest individuals in West Africa, becoming a resident of the exclusive Bernard Carr Street in Port Harcourt. On the political front, she was a member of the influential National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons, becoming a member of its executive committee in 1957 and vice-president of the NCNC Estern Women's Association in 1962. During the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), she organized Igbo women in support of the Biafrans. As a result she lost most of her property in Port Harcourt and returned to her native Oguta where she died in 1993.

It very basic terms it means that other people have written something about the subject, and that these people are independent. Such as an article in a newspaper or journal, that is well-known.

Article on William Smith

Hi! I don’t know why you deleted my article on William Smith. He’s notable because he was the valedictorian of a high school. I would like that article to be restored. BayPackers1444 (talk) 00:10, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If we had an article on every valedictorian, there would be millions of articles. Valedictorians are not inherently notable. (talk page stalker) Justarandomamerican (talk) 00:12, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I know, but he is notable in other ways, and we can find information on the other ways that make him notable. That’s why I would like the article to be restored so that I have some time to add information and if there isn’t evidence that indicates that he is notable then we can have an RfD discussion on the article. Thanks! BayPackers1444 (talk) 00:17, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should really put the proposed system into practice. And yes, this means, that if we can't convincingly get the article promoted in 3-4 weeks, then we close the discussion.

Computer architecture

Hi, I was thinking of making a new category for Computer architecture. What topics should go in that category? Lights and freedom (talk) 19:50, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thats a vewry broad topic, you could likely start with flynn's classification (SISD,SIMD,MISD,MIMD processors), you'd porbably have to look at systems that treat dsata in real time (no matter what happens, there's always a result, in a given tme. Have you looked at the EnWP category? Eptalon (talk) 08:37, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I added articles like Machine code, Instruction pipelining, Reduced instruction set computer. Should those pages be in this category? Lights and freedom (talk) 20:10, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would say anything that has to do with designing a microprocessor can go in there. And yes, CISC vs. RISC are two common architectures. Eptalon (talk) 20:12, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do boot device and machine code count? I can do some terminal coding but I'm not good with this architecture stuff. Lights and freedom (talk) 20:16, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Machiner code: yes, boot device no. Do we get the required 3 pages? Eptalon (talk) 20:20, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I have added pages to Category:Computer architecture about the different methods of processing instructions. I also put the category "computer processors" inside it, which also more pages about that topic. You might have ideas about other categories to create, as I'm trying to sort out that area (computing). Lights and freedom (talk) 21:04, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sonia Shainwald Orbuch (born Sarah Shainwald, May 24, 1925 – September 30, 2018) was an American Holocaust educator. During the Second World War she was a Jewish resistance fighter in eastern Poland.

Orbuch hid in the forests of Poland with her family during the Second World War. She joined a group of Soviet partisans, being renamed Sonia in case she was captured, and helped fight against the Germans. After the war, she returned home, where she met her future husband. After having a daughter in a refugee camp in Germany, the family eventually emigrated to the United States.

She spent the rest of life in public engagement, speaking about her experiences and in 2009, published her autobiography, Here, There Are No Sarahs: A Woman's Courageous Fight Against the Nazis and Her Bittersweet Fulfillment of the American Dream.

It should explain how deadly it is and how this has varied over time with or without the vaccines. (The simplewiki article is 1.5 years out of date with regards to the vaccines, but here I'm talking about the enwiki article.)

Disputing your decision to delete a page

@Eptalon I am writing to express my disagreement with your decision to delete the article Yoanna Gouchtchina on the basis of lacking notability. The person already made a notable invention that is already patented. She authored other patents. There's a article about her on Forbes etc. I honestly wonder if you took even a minute to review the article and the references. I will share a few of them below;

1. List of patents she authored
2. Yoanna Gouchtchina Inventions, Patents and Patent Applications - Justia Patents Search
3. Feature on Forbes "Why Russian Tech Startups Like ZeeRabbit Are Emigrating To The West"
4. A feature on USA Today
5. A published interview
6. another Published interview
7. An article in French among others

If these references do justify notability, what does? I have seen articles here with few or no credible links at all. For instance, I have seen this article Stefano Bertelli. With due respect, who among the two have credible references? In the case of Yoanna, we have Forbes, Google book, Justia.com, patents.google.com, USA today etc. I would appreciate if you undeleted the article and subjected it to voting and getting the view of other editors before deleting it. Thank you. Ankoyo (talk) 07:27, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please be bold and help translate this article!

The women's page (sometimes called home page or women's section) of a newspaper was a section devoted to covering news assumed to be of interest to women. Women's pages started out in the 19th century as society pages and eventually morphed into features sections in the 1970s. Although denigrated during much of that period, they had a significant impact on journalism and in their communities.

User:Fr33kman/Youth suicide

Tell me what you think so far and also tell me what else you want me to do to the article. I'll simplify the Epidemiology section naturally. fr33kman 20:54, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, looks good so far. What I don't know (and where you are better qualified): A person thinking about suicide will likely not tell many others about his/her plan. Should the article contain two things: How as a bystander can I recognize that X will try suicide? In what way can I keep X from committing suicide. And second:If X gathers information before the event, are there any pointers we can give? Like a crisis hotline? I really don't know.... Eptalon (talk) 21:08, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, that I can do. Especially the intervention stuff as we are trained to do that. fr33kman 21:10, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, please review the page now. I'm going to start on Self-destructive behavior. Can you tell me what you mean? Is it drug and alcohol abuse or does it include self-harming like cutting etc... In my opinion we should have two pages. One for self destructive behaviour and one for Self-harming (cutting...)fr33kman 13:08, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Pereonally I asssociate it with people harming themselves because they can no longer cope. For me (not a doctor) it is not so much alcoholics/ppl on drugs but more those cutting their arms. Eptalon (talk) 14:54, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inform who are in need and warn who aren't

A national issue of confusion and misleading way of drug "narrating" remember a doctor is overestimated anyway and a paitent always "untreated/overtreate/undertreated/untreated" . This sector I mean health need a change of Representation. I can give my life saving way only. "Difficulty" to " Disorders" a lonely road for paitent !. How can a doctor give heavy SSR drug in very starting signs of "AD" without exmaine nuerotypical and when needed brain transmissions diagnosis. What is the highest possible dimensions to view and detect a "Major depressive disorders " in first consulting? Drug has class example here Amphetamines can be taken. How a paitent will separate modafinil, previgil and armodafinil? If needed I'm ready to discuss research doctorates, consulting doctors, drug makers, controllers and chemist all. What about paitent? Will he be invited for discussion? We are belived to provide knowledge after "reffer existing and refine upto moment" basis. Not a single letter or a font writen by me wil be questionable. I believe in my knowledge and experiences. Editors are requested to share their fair and felt designs of providing the information. Sandeep Manikpuri (talk) 03:33, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My all useful and needed writings have been deleted despite getting my request for keeping them. Not for me but they will help others in my absence too. I am here to serve people not to please people. If you can't explain then call your boss for discussions. I'm much bolder than he could expect any one be to provide the needed only . Take a concern and shara your thoughts. 🙏🙏 Sandeep Manikpuri (talk) 03:46, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is Simple English Wikipedia. The things I cited are true for all Wikipedias, not just this one. It is also true for any subject: When anyone can pretty much edit any article you cannot guarantee that what is written us true or complete. As to the medical coverage in a given area: That is something to take up with local/government politics, it is also not an issue to discuss in this community. The people writing here do so because they want to. Eptalon (talk) 08:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Typhoon Rusa was the most powerful typhoon to strike South Korea in 43 years. It was the 21st JTWC tropical depression, the 15th named storm, and the 10th typhoon of the 2002 Pacific typhoon season. It developed on August 22 from the monsoon trough in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, well to the southeast of Japan. For several days, Rusa moved to the northwest, eventually intensifying into a powerful typhoon. On August 26, the storm moved across the Amami Islands of Japan, where Rusa left 20,000 people without power and caused two fatalities. Across Japan, the typhoon dropped torrential rainfall peaking at 902 mm (35.5 in) in Tokushima Prefecture.

Thanks for letting me know, right now it looks good. Perhaps also think about introducing sections. When simplifying: ophthalmic surgeons -> surgeons or perhaps eye surgeons? Also I don't know how relevant the different types of surgery are, perhaps simply say that different types of surgery can be used? I don't know how common this is.

Bhagavata Mela is a classical Indian dance that is performed in Tamil Nadu, particularly the Thanjavur area. It is choreographed as an annual Vaishnavism tradition in Melattur and nearby regions, and celebrated as a dance-drama performance art. The dance art has roots in a historic migration of practitioners of Kuchipudi, another Indian classical dance art, from Andhra Pradesh to the kingdom of Tanjavur.

The term Bhagavata, state Brandon and Banham, refers to the Hindu text Bhagavata Purana. Mela is a Sanskrit word that means "gathering, meeting of a group" and connotes a folk festival. The traditional Bhagavata Mela performance acts out the legends of Hinduism, set to the Carnatic style music.
