Demi Lovato article[change source]

The Demi Lovato article is messed up with vandalism; I tried reverting the vandalism the IP left, however there is still vandalism in the article. Can someone please help me restore the article to its clean revision? Angela Kate Maureen 16:24, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flood[change source]

I need flood for 40-50 minutes to bring some userpages here from enwiki. --PratyyaG  ·  Talk  18:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please help[change source]

A few years ago this article was deleted three or four times from this wiki and the other wiki because the subject was not notable and did not meet general notability guidelines. I am asking you to please consider request for quick deletion because this information is being used to harass this man’s widow off wiki.

Thanks. I am using this new wiki account after receiving a veiled threat about a separate deletion request involving another page and am using this alias out of an abundance of caution According to thus afd a decision was made to delete and salt the (misspelled) page in question. The page has magically reappeared here at yet another page that was deleted and salted (see below). As in the previous articles all of the contributors are either sockpuppets or SPAs. This re-creation of a deleted and salted page seems to have occurred when an unknowing editor mistakenly transferred the creation of another intentionally misspelled page ending with the Roman numeral ‘I’ and transferring it to the original deleted and salted page without waiting to re-create it until a consensus was demonstrated in support of re-creation. Therefore, the present article should be speedy deleted (which I can not nominate due to extended page protection) under G4 especially since the most current and most recently edited version of the article is substantially identical to the deleted version (save the mention of the subject’s death). Also the content was not undeleted via a deletion review or was only deleted via proposed deletion (including deletion discussions closed as "soft delete") or speedy deletion (the only exceptions for a G4 waiver). On top of that, the article falls under WP:BLP1E, lacks individual notability, and is apparently a hoax. Coverage is primarily based in local media and therefore may fail depth of coverage and is (with few exceptions) definitely not persistent. Google News searches return 4 results with no significant coverage. Other results indicate significant decrease in coverage from 2015 until the subject’s death in February 2020. The article is a re-creation under a deliberately misspelled title most recently created in November 2019 and previously created and deleted multiple times with multiple spellings, including on August 18, 2013, which was later re-created, G4’d and salted on August 29, 2013 with a reinforcement of the salting on February 13, 2015.Under another spelling, the creation, deletion and salting happened in February 2015. Yet another attempt was also salted.

The central claim for notability for the subject is this man’s court case against a state social services department and legislation drafted based on the allegations in the case with the occasional news story. The court case was the subject of another AfD on August 18, 2013 resulting in delete. Many years later the case and/or the legislation is not mentioned on the department’s article and that only strengthens the argument that the threshold for this man’s individual notability has not been met. The individual sources on the article prove the lack of independent notability, depth, and persistence of this low profile individual: 1,2,3,4,9,10,11,24 – relate to illness and death of subject, in itself not sufficient for individual notability and no mention of anything to cross the line of WP:BLP1E
5,6 7,8,12,13,14,15,16,25 - local coverage rehashing or retelling reasons for or events in his court case or legislation (that was directly prompted by same court case) which do not grant individual notability
17,18,19,20,22,23 – mention in passing regarding court case or associated legislation. Proving the fact, but not individual notability
21 – op-ed written by subject about same exact legislation and court case; an op-ed does not give rise to individual notability
Therefore, the article likely falls under WP:BLP1E and lacks individual notability. Coverage is exclusively in local media with the exception of his death which was put out from a local AP wire, and therefore fails depth of coverage and is (with one or two exceptions) not persistent. News coverage from 2015 is non-existent except for the mention of his death and a reintroduction of the same legislation in 2020, neither of which proves individual notability. Even if we put aside the aforementioned we are still guided by the policy that “Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article.” The principles for BLP1E that the “person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual” and “the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented” also apply.
As an aside it must be noted that the page was re-created after being deleted and salted without going through the proper channels as it was not re-created with a consensus that demonstrated a support of re-creation. Therefore, in conclusion, because of the multiple circumventions of deletions, saltings, G4s, and the lack of individual notability, this article should be speedy deleted. Also each incarnation of the page was created by a banned user in violation of G5. Twixt2 (talk) 10:01, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We have a page Wikipedia talk:Contact us, and a page WP:Administrators' noticeboard, and a page WP:Simple talk. It would be better for other administrators to read your request, rather than just me. My editing is done in short periods of time, and it sometimes several days before I have time to do more extensive work. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:52, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tickling[change source]

Please forgive me. I hadn't looked and seen that there was a corresponding section on en.wiki. It still needs rephrasing so that it doesn't look like it was research that was personally carried out by the author. I'll probably do that instead at some point. Bobo. 10:44, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the En wiki page is amazing. Sometimes they really outdo any other source. Their pages on sleep and dream are also remarkable. Play is another universal, at least among mammals, and often underrated or omitted in medical and physiology courses. Oh, and sometimes it pays to check with YouTube.

I have replied to your response :) --IWI (talk) 15:09, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article I made was not nonsense.[change source]

It was a real name, stop claiming I made a nonsense article --John VIII (talk) 17:13, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored the article as it did not appear to be nonsense. I have cleaned it up a bit as well. -Djsasso (talk) 17:24, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Patrolling[change source]

Sir I'm not asking to grant the patrolling rights. Could you please explain me the criteria for getting this.KP (talk) 08:20, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @TTP1233: To be granted patroller, you need to create many good and simple pages. This is because patroller's pages are also autopatrolled. --IWI (talk) 08:23, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thnx. One more thing am I doing my work good? Please don't mind on this. For you can say, I can be encouraged. KP (talk) 08:26, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@TTP1233: I think you need more experience simplifying pages, but overall I do think you are doing well. Keep it up :) --IWI (talk) 08:27, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Socialist Workers Party (United States)/meta/shortname[change source]

Can you please undelete: Template:Socialist Workers Party (United States)/meta/shortname? I need it for political pages. --Hellothere4 (talk) 11:33, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The page was fine. Must have been an error? --IWI (talk) 11:37, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Most likely. But then again it ca easily be seen as vandalism if you misread it. --(Hellothere4 (talk) 11:39, 20 January 2021 (UTC))[reply]
Yeah. If he thought it was an article it would fit the criteria, I suppose. --IWI (talk) 11:40, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I changed the name to Socialist Workers party (US) so it fits another one. --Hellothere4 (talk) 12:13, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes looks like it was incorrectly deleted as a test page. Have restored it. However it was a duplicate of the one you mention so I have redirected it to that one. -Djsasso (talk) 12:16, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Nihilism[change source]

Not living or real persons[change source]

Hello bro! I have seen you have deleted some of the articles I created. Actually those are not living persons. They are the characters of the legends. And I think I have cited good references as well. I really wonder that the notice about deleting my articles have not been received in my talk page. Haoreima (talk) 05:12, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see your contributions generally need evidence of WP:notability. However, many of the references do indeed mention the names you talk about. However, I do not think their mentions are adequate support for your pages as independent pages. Some of your references list hundreds of names of mythical entities. It is one thing to list them all in one place, but quite another to list them as stand-alone pages. As far as I can see, ALL your new pages lack sufficient support as stand-alone pages. A literary or mythological character is not automatically notable. Also remember that people in our culture have never heard of these characters. I'm not saying you are wrong, just that you need to understand the importance of this quality. Perhaps they could all be grouped together. As they stand, I think they lack notability. Macdonald-ross (talk) 06:34, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your suggestions. I will try my best to add more references. But please don't delete them. I will be elated if you give me advice in future too. Haoreima (talk) 08:48, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Parameters[change source]

Hello bro! Is there a way to write all the parameters of an infobox at a single time? Haoreima (talk) 08:55, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay in replying. You can go to Template:Infobox and copy the framework. Make sure you copy the right framework: there are a number of different infobox types. Alternately, you can copy the En wiki page template from the corresponding page. It might need some adjustment, though. Generally speaking, you can leave blank any lines where you do not have the data or information. Macdonald-ross (talk) 12:22, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai[change source]

Deleting user talk pages[change source]

I noticed that you deleted some user talk pages recently. User talk pages are not to be deleted if they have ever had any legitimate talk on them. They can be deleted if the only content they've ever had was vandalism, copyvio, advertising, and the like, or if it's not for an IP and the user doesn't exist. If they've ever had any of the normal things talk pages are used for, they should not be deleted. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:12, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello dear manager, if you can delete article quickly, I think it was really wrong for me to create it, and I apologize for creating it.--منع الواقع (talk) 11:12, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Or move it to my draft.--منع الواقع (talk) 11:13, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you create my article is Jashon Cuyler

Category:Mammals of America[change source]

Can I empty Category:Mammals of America and transfer all the articles into Category:Mammals of North America and/or Category:Mammals of South America? Naddruf (talk) 03:18, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What are you planning for the mammals of Central America? And animals with widest distribution can stay in the main category. In any event it's a good idea to consult user:Auntof6 about category changes. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:21, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For purposes of categorization, Central America is considered a region and is part of North America. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:16, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Naddruf: I would be in favor of doing what you suggest and eliminating the "America" category. The term "America" is vague. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:16, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Yes. Specifically in Spanish, "America" means what we call "The Americas". --IWI (talk) 10:16, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ImprovedWikiImprovment: I like how in Spanish there's an adjective, estadounidense, meaning "of or from the United States". It makes things much less confusing than using American like English does. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:52, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Auntof6: I agree, I also like that :). Does French have something similar? I find it interesting that the closest translation would be "United Statesean". --IWI (talk) 11:33, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think French just has américain. --Auntof6 (talk) 12:24, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are some species which are found in both North/Central and South America, but would it make sense to categorize them in both? Naddruf (talk) 14:35, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes you would categorize in both if they are found in both. -Djsasso (talk) 14:43, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Error[change source]

I have committed an error while moving a page. Please rectify it. Actually, I was to move the page Temples of Meitei religion to Meitei temples. But something happened to page X. --Haoreima (talk) 05:34, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Haoreima: I restored the page for the letter X. Do you want to try your move again? --Auntof6 (talk) 05:55, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Auntof6: Yes, please help me. Haoreima (talk) 10:05, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Haoreima: OK, but you need to tell me exactly what you want me to do. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:45, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please move "Temples of Meitei religion" to Meitei temples. Haoreima (talk) 10:47, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Haoreima:  Done I left the redirect because there's a link to it. --Auntof6 (talk) 12:13, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Haoreima (talk) 17:10, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Liver[change source]

Why do you keep adding Category:Vitamins to Liver (food)? Liver is not a vitamin. (Nor is it a mineral, by the way.) --Auntof6 (talk) 20:09, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removing talk page warnings[change source]

Removing warnings on talk pages is perfectly acceptable, per w:WP:OWNTALK, so I am not sure why you reverted back to the version with warnings, despite the user removing them. —Belwine (talk) 20:45, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quick question on edit summaries[change source]

Hi, I'm seeing some editors (i.e) using "#WPWPTR #WPWP" on their summaries. Forgive the ignorance on the abbrev, but what does that mean? — Infogapp1 (talk) 10:35, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've no idea. Perhaps means they had taken material from En wiki. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:53, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
