A request on helping a new page[change source]

Hello Farien,

You recently placed a deletion request on the page I'm creating Josephs Quartzy (musician).

Can you please help me take a look at it and see if it contains required sources and it meets all the requirements please?..I think if not you can help me improve it because I'm really trying to make a great article?

Best Regards, (Wlovere (talk) 13:11, 2 May 2021 (UTC))

@Wlovere: Well, not that long ago (only a month ago) there was a request for deletion, see here. I don't think that he would have become more notable since then, and we should probably respect the consensus at the request for deletion by having the page deleted. Best regards, --Ferien (talk) 13:14, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

First I assure you to respect your decision and it's true I saw the deleted page but the editor could do was adding any link he found on his way,this entity was notable a way back and you can go and prove it all by yourself on the notability links I provided I think I made a great catch on lots of them and I gave all 17 if there's any unwanted link can be removed by you the admins. Wlovere (talk) 13:27, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

@Wlovere: At the RfD, it was decided that Josephs Quartzy was not notable. We should respect the consensus there and delete the page. Best regards, --Ferien (talk) 13:32, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I understand I'll be waiting for either responses from you and other admins(Wlovere (talk) 13:41, 2 May 2021 (UTC))

Just so you know I am not an admin. --Ferien (talk) 13:43, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Any idea[change source]

Do you have any idea about this: https://en.everybodywiki.com/Everybodywiki_bios_and_free_wiki_for_everybody Can I use my same user account in everybody wiki? Seems something strange from the general wiki world! Haoreima (talk) 18:35, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

@Haoreima: You'd have to register an everybodywiki account and then it can be used in all the othe everybodywiki wikis. However, this is not a Wikimedia project. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 18:38, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. Haoreima (talk) 04:32, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

My Test Case[change source]

Tech News: 2021-18[change source]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

Twinkle is a gadget on English Wikipedia. It can help with maintenance and patrolling. It can now be used on other wikis. You can get Twinkle on your wiki using the twinkle-starter GitHub repository.

Problems

The content translation tool did not work for many articles for a little while. This was because of a bug. [1]
Some things will not work for about a minute on 5 May. This will happen around 06:00 UTC. This will affect the content translation tool and notifications among other things. This is because of an upgrade to avoid crashes. [2]

Changes later this week

Reference Previews will become a default feature on a number of wikis on 5 May. This is later than planned because of some changes. You can use it without using Page Previews if you want to. The earlier plan was to have the preference to use both or none. [3][4]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 May. It will be on all wikis from 6 May (calendar).

Future changes

The CSS classes .error, .warning and .success do not work for mobile readers if they have not been specifically defined on your wiki. From June they will not work for desktop readers. This can affect gadgets and templates. The classes can be defined in MediaWiki:Common.css or template styles instead. [5]

About the page https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.O.C_Road,_Perumbavoor[change source]

I am a newcomer on Wikipedia , I would appreciate it greatly if you could elaborate a bit on redirecting issues in issues . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barktwain77 (talk • contribs) 18:46, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

@Barktwain77: When pages are moved, a redirect is left from the old page name to the new. I requested the redirect for deletion and the article you made is not affected. Best regards, --Ferien (talk) 18:51, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

How are my contributions so far?[change source]

As stated on my user page, I am trying to gain community trust on Enwiki and I want to do the right thing. So I wonder how my contributions have been so far? Thank you! SoyokoAnis - talk 21:40, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

@SoyokoAnis: You have been a pretty good editor here so far, helping with creating articles and fixing typos. One thing though: you'll noticed I reverted your edit on FBG Duck as you removed the RfD. Please do not remove the RfD until it is closed. Thanks, and happy editing! --Ferien (talk) 14:54, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I realized I removed without rethinking. Thank you. SoyokoAnis - talk 14:56, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

No worries, we all make mistakes :) --Ferien (talk) 14:59, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

QD[change source]

LAST WARNING DO NOT PUT QD TEMPLATES ON ANY MORE Pages — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:444:201:9E70:1C28:36AE:D4E0:705A (talk • contribs) 14:11, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

You didn't use an actual warning template. And QD templates are supposed to go on those pages. SoyokoAnis - talk 14:44, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

@2601:444:201:9E70:1C28:36AE:D4E0:705A: I am not sure what you're referring to. I accidentally rollbacked your edit adding a QD as mobile Wikipedia is a pain to use. Also, why did you sign as a different IP? I'm not sure what benefit this can give you... --Ferien (talk) 14:57, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

In case you didn't know, there's an option that makes you confirm that you want to do a rollback. In your preferences/settings, it's on the gadgets tab, Browsing gadgets section, labelled "Require confirmation before performing rollback on mobile devices". It's very helpful for working on mobile devices — guess how I know! --Auntof6 (talk) 21:03, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

I thought I enabled that... but I didn't, lol... Thanks for reminding me! :) --Ferien (talk) 21:05, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

YGM[change source]

Hello, Ferien. Check your email – you have got mail!
You can take off this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{YGM}} template.

PotsdamLamb (talk) 19:16, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Done, check your inbox :) --Ferien (talk) 19:22, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Apologies[change source]

I am so sorry for making the request I had meant to request another article but apparently the main page got requested. Again, I am so sorry. SoyokoAnis - talk 20:50, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

@SoyokoAnis: No problem. Attempts to delete the main page have been made before! --Ferien (talk) 20:51, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

@Ferien I am going to stop tagging articles now. I don't want a repeat of Enwiki. SoyokoAnis - talk 20:55, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

@SoyokoAnis: Ok, just take it slow. You are still relatively new here. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 20:57, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

I will, thank you. SoyokoAnis - talk 21:17, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Barnstar of kindness[change source]

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		You are kind, helpful, guiding, encouraging; you are the one who encourages me to do better on this wiki than English Wikipedia. Thanks. -Leo (let's talk) (my help) 21:57, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstar! :) --Ferien (talk) 05:45, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

New notification[change source]

Have you received the automatic notification that we will not be able to edit during 6:00 to 6:15 for technical problem? I saw that in the top of my screen. Haoreima (talk) 06:44, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

@Haoreima: Yes, I saw it but I was able to edit and then the notification had gone by about 6:10am UTC. I'm pretty sure the maintenance is done. --Ferien (talk) 06:46, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Pings[change source]

About this edit, pings don't works unless you save a timestamp in the same edit. Since you kept the old timestamp, I don't think Haoreima would have gotten the notification. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:54, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I always forget that... I think Haoreima has seen it though as he has thanked me for the response. --Ferien (talk) 15:46, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

A request[change source]

Hello Pal! en:Puya Meithaba ( Burning of Puya ) (equivalent of simple:Puya Mei Thaba) is about to get deleted. It has actually broken some wiki guidelines, it's created by User:Luwanglinux. Could you please advise him in good faith what's right and what's wrong? You can even perform tps in the discussion page of en:Talk:History of Manipur. Actually, good references are available in this very simple English equivalent article. Haoreima (talk) 08:24, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Haoreima: You might not know, but "tps" stands for "talk page stalker". It refers to times when someone leaves a message on a user talk page, but a different person answers it. It's what I'm doing right now; you left a message on Ferien's talk page, but I am making a comment on it even though you didn't ask me and this isn't my talk page. Using the {{tps}} template is a way of saying that I know I'm possibly being a little rude by responding to a message that was left for someone else on someone else's talk page. Therefore, tps doesn't apply to article talk pages (like the one you mentioned above), because anyone is entitled to comment on those. --Auntof6 (talk) 11:40, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

@Auntof6: Learning the fact for the first time from you, thank you, Auntof6! Well, there's an active discussion going on. In fact, a war is being fought in the article's talk page. And I wish a peaceful end through understanding. Haoreima (talk) 12:22, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

@Haoreima: Luwanglinux seems to have already been advised and unfortunately, he has been blocked over there for a week for edit warring. And, as I don't really know what was going on over there, it probably isn't best for me to step in. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 15:25, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

@Haoreima: And besides what Ferien said, since you are blocked on enwiki, you aren't supposed to be asking people to do things there. Ferien could get into trouble for doing things there for you. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:51, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Haoreima Thank for your concern but its ok I will follow wikipedia procedure and do whatever is good for that article after one week , I am able to read Ray Sohini journal about Manipur through jstor too Luwanglinux (talk) 18:14, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

@Ferien: Apologies to you if my plan turns out to be a trouble for your user account's reputation as Auntof6 said. But, my real intention is just for the betterment of wikipedia articles and wikipedia users. Haoreima (talk) 03:06, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you[change source]

Thanks for correcting my mistake on my english wikipedia user page, since extended confirmed user are able to move page I thought it appropriate, I feel too shame after learning about it just today.Luwanglinux (talk) 18:09, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

@Luwanglinux: I just noticed it when I was having a look at the situation above, although I wasn't going to take any action on that... No problem. --Ferien (talk) 18:10, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

That situation was no good, its ok Luwanglinux (talk) 18:18, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Deletion of The Speedy Deletion Tag Request[change source]

Hello Ferien, I respect your decision entirely but please do not delete this article as I am an online freelancer and I am being paid to write this article on Simple Wikipedia. I hope you understand me and thank you for your help in advance.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6440:4002:0:0:0:0:2F6A (talk • contribs) 16:50, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

@2605:6440:4002:0:0:0:0:2F6A: so you are making me think that requesting the article for deletion definitely was a good idea. See conflicts of interest. If you have one, it's best not to edit the article. The article sounds really promotional, which is why I requested it for deletion. --Ferien (talk) 16:57, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello Ferien (talk), I tried my best to keep the article neutral by excluding all the superlative adjectives, adding as much neutral words as possible and only keeping facts which I could verify. I also did not add any boasting words such as 'best of the best' and etc to keep the tone formative. It would be appreciated by me if you could please delete the speedy deletion request. Thank you for understanding my point of view.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6440:3002:0:0:0:2:14B (talk • contribs) 17:20, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

@2605:6440:3002:0:0:0:2:14B: However, the subject is also not notable for Wikipedia and does not claim to be. So there should not be an article on this subject. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 18:45, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

@192.141.42.242: pinging you as you seem to be the same person. --Ferien (talk) 18:45, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

QD declined[change source]

Hi, Ferien. I had to decline that QD. I'm not saying he meets any notability guideline, but QD can't be used if there is a claim of notability (in this case, winning an award). Feel free to go to RFD with it. --Auntof6 (talk) 14:25, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't notice that he claimed to have won an award. I'll go to RfD with it. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 14:27, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

That IP user talk page[change source]

Please stop humoring that IP user by continuing to revert their edits. It only makes them continue what they're doing. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:08, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
