Environmental impact of the Red Sea crisis

Hello, Star Mississippi,

I hope you are having a good weekend. While you closed this AFD discussion as Merge, because you mention two separate articles, the article under discussion doesn't have a Merge tag on it and the Merge target articles are missing it, too. I don't work with Merges so I rely on XFDcloser to do this tagging and so I don't know the correct template to use. But I think once the article is tagged, the article will appear in the correct categories so editors can see that it needs to be merged.

Also, thanks for letting me know about the discussion (above). It's interesting reading. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:29, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Yes, I did that as a custom because I learned (from you?) that merger close with A or B breaks either the script or creates a discussion page for a non existent article A or B. I can manually tag it, but without a target, I think even {{merge-to}} will fail. I'm about to log off for the evening, but will look into it tomorrow unless you have sorted it out. I don't think there's an easy answer. And no worries, thought you'd enjoy where your question/comment went. Star Mississippi 02:51, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

oh never mind, @Stephen sorted it out for both us. Star Mississippi 02:52, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

God bless talk page stalkers! It seems like there is always someone who knows how to fix a problem. You definitely didn't learn it from me, I don't know how to close an AFD discussion with a decision to Merge to more than one article. I think I have history merged 4 or 5 times and have not manually merged any articles so I'm not familiar with the Merge templates. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:38, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Indeed!

I have some vague recollection of in your G8 patrolling you had to delete one that me/the script created such as Talk:Topic A or B. I hate history merges! I've tried but usually end up b0rking. Star Mississippi 10:44, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

I know that it is technically possible to "unmerge" articles if a mistake has been made but I wouldn't know how to do it. So, I've only done clear cut cases where it is suitable, generally when an editor has created a new category that is identical to one that has existed for a long time. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:31, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Can you help me make sense of this?

I'm sure you know by now that the discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/Techspressionism has become a mess in more ways than one. I've been trying to help organize and keep track of it, but I'm unable to wrap my head around this edit. My best guess is that part of MarioCCult's original comment is now erroneously embedded into Scribe1791's comment, but I'm not 100% sure. If I had caught it at the time, I would've just reverted. Courtesy ping Netherzone also. Left guide (talk) 03:50, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I think @Netherzone has fixed it while I was offline. It's super confusing, as I think AfD is for newer editors. Social post aside, I think they're contributing in good faith, they just don't know what's required. I'm glad Scribe allowed me to close up their comment as I think some folks read it as "he's done, let me add my response". Star Mississippi 02:03, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Didn't fix it because I can't unravel the scramble. Netherzone (talk) 02:42, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

It seems like User:YordleSquire's short comment may have been plopped in the middle of someone else's longer comment (?). I may be wrong about this, because SPAs comments going in odd places. Thanks for clerking to the both of you. Netherzone (talk) 16:08, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm mostly offline through Sunday, apologies. Thanks @Netherzone for moving the Arabic? !vote over as well. Star Mississippi 23:04, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

It looks like YordleSquire's short comment is in between two separate comments made at separate times by Scribe1791, so I don't think that's the problem. The user with the Arabic !vote actually found their way to the main AfD page and posted it there themselves. Thanks to both of you for assisting as well. Enjoy your time away Star Mississippi, I'll continue keeping an eye on that AfD as my time allows. Left guide (talk) 23:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Be on the lookout

A relatively inexperienced editor innocuously accepted his AfC submission cited only to four primary source government publications and an unreliable source; likely would've been declined by an experienced reviewer. And now it looks like he's trying to sneak his next one into mainspace by WP:CANVASSING that same editor. Told you he'll try practically any trick in the book… Left guide (talk) 01:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Le sigh. I need a magic wand. Thanks for flagging @Left guide Star Mississippi 02:26, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

I don't want to waste effort diff digging but Greg has been warned previously about canvassing trying to disrupt an AfD nomination made on one of his articles. He recruited people who he felt would vote the way he wants and specifically wrote comment asking them to vote keep. Graywalls (talk) 09:16, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

He has been warned for everything unfortunately it doesn't change his behavior. Star Mississippi 14:36, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

TBAN I suggested might be effective. No participation on Henderson family related, broadly construed. No participation on Monterey County, California related (including Carmel-by-the-Sea which is within) and perhaps no San Jose. Graywalls (talk) 16:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@S0091 has warned them again.

@Graywalls I agree, but to the same extent he's not taking on your/@Netherzone's feedback about stronger drafts I'm not sure he'll abide by it. Star Mississippi 18:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

I thought it better to post something on his talk page for tracking. However, in his and the reviewer's defense regarding Messina Orchard, I have always thought places listed at NRHP were essentially automatically notable because they generally will pass AfD. On the flip side things like Draft:Mary L. Hamlin...eh..."nope" is the only word and the fact he kept resubmitting and pushing, adding frankly shitty sources was time wasting for all involved and appears to his track record. S0091 (talk) 18:57, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Eh, I wouldn't go so far as to say automatically. Like virtually every subject notability guideline, WP:GEOFEAT says presumed which isn't the same as guaranteed. IMO, there should still be at least some effort to show real independent secondary GNG-compliant coverage, which doesn't appear to be the case for Messina Orchard. But I agree that the Mary L. Hamlin saga was something else, doesn't seem to take "no" for an answer. Left guide (talk) 21:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Left guide:, The form cites quite a few good sources, usually. Although, the article shouldn't look like a mirror of the form. An article could meet notability yet be two sentences long. Superfluous contents can always be pulled out. Graywalls (talk) 02:32, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Must've been WP:Articles for deletion/Carmel Valley Historical Society; even had the audacity to bold the word keep in the requests… Left guide (talk) 21:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

AFDLand

Hello, Star Mississippi,

Did you drink a pot of coffee tonight? You sure closed a lot of AFD discussions. Wikipedia could use your help every day (or night). Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:14, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

You're most welcome. I caught the log at a good moment and I hope it makes up for when I have and am about to be offline again. The volume you process @Liz amazes me. And I know I see only a small percentage of them. Star Mississippi 20:49, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

As the last blocking admin

As the blocking admin for the user, i thought to bring it to your notice that another user most definitely an UPE who has a long history of creating non-notable articles has recreated this article which you salted under another name here. Let me know if any action can be taken against the new author. Jamiebuba (talk) 23:02, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for flagging @Jamiebuba. I've blocked the "new" account. I haven't actioned the G4 as there are so many versions and my on wiki time is limited to evaluate, although I have no doubt it's a bad faith creation. Star Mississippi 01:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Great, thanks for your time. I appreciate. Jamiebuba (talk) 06:24, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Any time, and it looks like @Liz handled the G4 so we should be all set. Star Mississippi 12:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Yeah so i noticed! I have a feeling they may return. Jamiebuba (talk) 16:24, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

User Doncram

I just noticed a number of 2024 User talk:Doncram talk page messages from you. Don't know if you're aware of it, but Dncram died July 9, 2023. Please see Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/2023. — Maile (talk) 23:34, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Yes, thanks We've been using his Talk as a scratch pad to publish the drafts he left behind, and in some cases give him AfC credit. Do you think that should take place elsewhere? Star Mississippi 01:05, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I think you are doing it the best way. Ever since I read of Doncram's death, I've been wondering who will fill his shoes in publishing the newer listings. He was always just there, taking care of the new listings. — Maile (talk) 01:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

User_talk:Doncram#List_of_drafts has his WIPs that we know of.

If there are others, or others you think he would have worked on,feel free to add. My interests interacted with his so I've picked up some but I know we're missing others. Star Mississippi 01:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

In my case, I knew what was out there because he had already listed them. That's what I'm talking about. Who is going to keep those new listings up to date? — Maile (talk) 01:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Not sure, but happy to try and dig into it. I'm going to be offline much of this week but will join when back. Star Mississippi 02:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Priyanka Choudhary

Hello Ma'am/Sir. Do you remember me? We have met several times in DRV for the review of articles of ITV actors. Sir/Ma'am we recently submitted a DRV of the actress Priyanka Choudhary and the outcome was that the previous deletions were endorsed. Sir/Ma'am what can we do so that we get a fair chance to create an article of Priyanka Choudhary in Wikipedia? We tried all possible means by maintaining WP:CIVILity and WP:good faith. We do not want to repeat the mistakes which her earlier fans made but we do wish for a fair chance. 117.209.242.154 (talk) 06:04, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi! The consensus here Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Priyanka_Choudhary_(closed) is that Choudhary is not yet notable. Thank you for being civil and assuming good faith, but that doesn't overcome the issues raised with respect to WP:NACTOR and the sourcing required to pass it, which Choudhary currently lacks. It's challenging as a fan when you believe someone sh ould have coverage. In closing @S_Marshall offered an option of another project. Did you think about that?

Alternatively, you can continue working on the draft and add new sourcing and consider submitting it no sooner than next year unless sourcing changes significantly. Star Mississippi 12:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Please provide my page

I worked hard on it and you’ve not advised of why it was legal to remove it. Thank you. 75.105.37.98 (talk) 19:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi IP 75. This is your only edit. Can you please give me a hint as to the article topic so I can try to track it down? Star Mississippi 02:00, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

April 2024

Hey @Star Mississippi, hope you are doing well, I would like to bring to your kind notice that deletion discussion of Isha Malviya i.e Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Isha Malviya (2nd nomination) is open till now and has not been closed yet, it was opened on March 10, 2024. Kindly look into it as it has surpassed the specified time limit many days before. Thankyou .Imsaneikigai (talk) 19:00, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your note @Imsaneikigai. The discussion was closed while I was offline so this appears resolved. Star Mississippi 01:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

It looks like this discussion completely fell through the cracks. Open for 3 weeks and never relisted. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:51, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

I needed a clarity, can I open a new deletion discussion, because in my opinion the article Isha Malviya clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Since the previous deletion nomination was not listed correctly, many people did not participate and did not get a clear consensus. Thankyou Imsaneikigai (talk) 09:15, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Liz for flagging that. I hadn't looked closely. @Imsaneikigai before you do that (it would beWP:DRV), I'm pinging @Deb as closing admin for their thoughts.

@Imsaneikigai are you the same editor who raised #Priyanka Choudhary above? These articles seem somehow related and I'm not otherwise sure how you found me. Thanks all Star Mississippi 11:12, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I did notice that, but since it wasn't done properly first time round, I feel it's only right it should be possible to list it again. I'm taking note also of comments made during the latest discussion, suggesting doubtful motivation. Deb (talk) 11:15, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

No i am not the one who startedthe Priyanka Choudhary conversation above. Since Priyanka Choudhary and Isha Malviya had the same career graphs, i had taken a look at deletion discussion of Priyanka Choudhary to have a gist of the reasons cited for her deletion so that it may be helpful for me to give similar reasons for deletion of Isha Malviya. There i found that IP and stalked them to reach you Imsaneikigai (talk) 11:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Welcome back!

You were missed. I did have a question for you but two days later? I completely can't remember what it was. Life passes you by fast on this project. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:48, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Not fully back yet, but getting there with a window of less travel. Hope you had a good Easter if you observe @Liz.

Feel free to leave the question for me next time. I play catch up when I return, or try. Star Mississippi 11:25, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Can you take a look at this please?

Hi again Star Mississippi; there appears to be a rather messy situation at the Jeremy Bloom article. Two brand new SPAs are persistently edit-warring to force in their preferred version against about four or five established editors who have serially contested the edits. Also note that the Fewlers account was created 17:17 on 29 March 2024 less than 20 minutes after Jeremybloomfan's last edits were reverted, which raises suspicion of sock and/or meatpuppetry. Please consider applying page blocks and/or extended-confirmed protection (the accounts appear to be auto-confirmed) or any other remedies as needed, thanks. Left guide (talk) 08:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for flagging @Left guide and apologies for the delay while I was offline. @EddieHugh had taken care of the out of process edits and I've E/C'ed it for a week. I'm not watching it right now and my on wiki time remains limited so please ping me if further action is needed. Star Mississippi 23:59, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Will do, thank you both for helping out! Left guide (talk) 00:38, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Diliff at ANI

Hey, the link on the closing note to commons isn't piped properly I think. It was a closing note, hence I didn't want to change it. Can you drop by? It's missing a :commons: ig. Thanks, and welcome back :) — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 18:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

so weird that the second one worked, but the first didn't! Thanks so much for flagging it. THank you! Hope to be fully back soon. Have a great day. Star Mississippi 19:01, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Quick question about process

If an AfD discussion was relisted for lack of a consensus and/or lack of policy-based arguments, and subsequently a clear consensus formed, can it be closed a little before an additional 168 hours have elapsed since the relisting?

Cheers, RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 10:01, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @RadioactiveBoulevardier

Yes, a relist doesn't require a full AfD run. It can be closed when someone assesses consensus has formed. Sometimes that's soon after the relist when it catches more editors' eyes. Let me know if you need more information. Star Mississippi 14:56, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! They should make that clear on WP:Deletion process. If I have any other questions I’ll be sure to let you know.

Cheers, RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 18:33, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Happy to answer any time @RadioactiveBoulevardier but I do think it's fairly clear there where it says A relisted discussion may be closed once consensus is determined, without necessarily waiting a further seven days. Do you think it sould be phrased differently? Not disagreeing, just not sure what you mean or if I'm missing something. Star Mississippi 01:50, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I must have missed that line. I thought I had read things thoroughly but I guess not…maybe I should get more sleep instead of indulging my Wikiholism lol RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 13:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Accidental ping

I decided NOT to say something on a talk page about that whole ... whatever it is or was ... and buried it in my sand box, but forgot to unlink you. Sorry. Feel free to read it if you like, but there is nothing there we haven't already discussed, and no action is required from you at this point. I have given up and am sorry I defended the disciplinary processes of en-wikipedia at Meta at this point, but you are not the cause of that. At all. Thanks again for all the fish. Sorry to ping for nothing, Hope your busy-ness is fun and not stressful. Elinruby (talk) 23:56, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

No worries. I'll have a look at it in the coming days and see if I can be of help. I'm also not positive I don't owe you a response elsewhere.

Busy-ness is of the positive variety, thankfully. Some travel, personal obligations and a busy time at work. Plus there are days it's too nice to be indoors and online. Thanks for checking in. It's very much appreciated Star Mississippi 02:20, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

"Owe"is not the right word. I sent you email once because there was a mild privacy concern about something and I think you were a little concerned. It was ok though, used to it at this point. Just noticed today that there was a whole ANI where I was *again* misleadingly quoted, shrug. This was so unsurprising that I wasn't even notified. And JoelleJay apparently had been going through it too, since she thought he was talking about her. Another day on Wikipedia. Enjoying medieval Algeria but I really want to get it out the door now ;) All is reasonably well and weather here has eased out of omgomgomg ;) No reply was expected and definitely none owed. Next comes the lilac.

The Meta thing was SlowKing4 claiming to be some sort of tragic hero, eyeroll. Apparently administrators here insta-ban at the drop of a hat. Har har har. I begged to differ You were not mentioned in that refutation, btw. Drop of a hat, lol. Elinruby (talk) 04:31, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Clarification

I’d like to politely point out that whilst I removed my comment, I did not apologise

Kind regards Jack4576 (talk) 01:39, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Happy to amend my comment, I mistook rescind as an apology Star Mississippi 02:01, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saira Shah Halim (2nd nomination)

Hello, Star Mississippi,

I was in the process of relisting this discussion when you closed it. I found both of the editors who participated here were completely off-the-mark. There was no sockpuppet activity in this article or any previously deleted versions of it (although there has been some UPE) so I have no idea where that came from and the other editor has only 45 edits on the project. No one examined the sources provided by the article creator into the discussion. We really need some of our regular AFD participants to offer their opinion since while the nominator is fine, I have no confidence in the other editors' opinions here. I hope you might consider reverting and relisting this discussion. I rarely make this request (unless it's an NAC closure) but I think we need some fuller examination and evaluation of sources for this article. Thanks for considering this request. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done and always happy to. Thanks for flagging

No harm in another week although the last relist didn't bring on any input. Star Mississippi 01:55, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sri Yala Batik

The four sources I mentioned are articles and a TV documentary entirely devoted to covering the subject, so the assertions (by editors who do not read Thai) that they were mere passing mentions were plainly incorrect. The nom did not respond to my challenging of their misunderstanding, and neither of the two delete !votes addressed any of the sources I identified. I don't quite see how it could be concluded that "Consensus is sourcing is of insufficient depth". --Paul_012 (talk) 17:14, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Unfortunately it's not sufficient to assume editors' language knowledge or source access especially with access to translation tools and that your/IP 180 assessment was the arbiter of depth when other experience editors came to a different conclusion. If you believe I closed it incorrectly, you're welcome to file a deletion review and I'd welcome more eyes on it. Have a great day. Star Mississippi 18:33, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

User talk:Star Mississippi/Archive 15#Offensive redirect

Well, it only took five months but JayCubby walked himself into the block we all saw coming (cc @Cryptic, @Girth Summit, @Espresso Addict) @Primefac not sure if it's private info or if there's anything unstale but JayCubby seemed to potentially be tied to Ladyoftrees (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)' shenanigans albeit not enough then for a non fishing SPI. Flagging if helpful. No worries if not. Star Mississippi 01:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Saw their userpage get kicked out of Category:Indexed pages. Couldn't remember why it looked familiar. —Cryptic 07:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Cryptic, I saw your comment and had to look up what pages were put in this category and why. Why would an editor want Google to show their Wikipedia User pages? This seems out of order for editors to do but I guess it's their call. It just seems like an odd choice. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:21, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

It used to be a major vector for spam. Pesky new page patrollers keep deleting or draftifying your mainspace seo instead of letting google see it? Just put it on your userpage and index it there! There's even a handy button in the visual editor to teach you how to do it in one click!

Watching Category:Indexed pages used to get me about dozen g11s per day. Less of an issue after Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 153#Prevent new users from allowing search engine indexing of user pages and Special:AbuseFilter/930, though since we tied it to the wrong permission there's still an occasional problem - extendedconfirmed isn't enough by itself to make a page googlable by any other method. —Cryptic 08:12, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bosaso FC

I'm not happy with your close here - I think it's clearly a no consensus given my source analysis and the lack of analysis by the redirects. The fact a Somali football team is not mainstream isn't a reason for deletion. Would you please re-consider your close? SportingFlyer T·C 17:18, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @SportingFlyer. I disagree with your assessment since the sourcing wasn't shown to be independent. However, I'd be happy to relist it. Would that work for you? Otherwise please feel free to bring it to DRV. There was not a policy-based consensus to keep it per my re-read. Thanks for flagging. Star Mississippi 23:46, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I definitely showed there were more sources beyond the potentially problematic ones after the first relist, my comment was supported and not rebutted, and the whole non-independent thing doesn't really make sense here anyways - plenty of newspapers have advertised at sporting events without disqualifying their independence. That's why I'm frustrated. I'm not sure a third relist will help, but I'd prefer that to a DRV. Thanks! SportingFlyer T·C 03:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Done. Hopefully a daytime, weekday relist will help garner input. I'm going to likely be offline when this closes. Should it not resolve as you're hoping please consider this my assent to DRV and don't wait for me to respond at that time. Have a great day Star Mississippi 13:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I’d love to note here that an independent source is an independent source whether you, SF, like it or not. GNG is determined by three major facts and the relationship of a source to a subject is part of it. Whether the only source is reliable or not, as long as it is not independent of the subject, then it fails to help the subject pass GNG. There are no exceptions, not that I know of.

Article you turned into a redirect after XfD close recreated(?) - Sam Williams (record producer)

Hi! Not quite sure what to do here. It looks like the redirect has been replaced with a different article. Not sure if I should leave this up or restore the redirect. It's been tagged with notability + peacock in the meantime. Schrödinger's jellyfish ✉ 05:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Schrödinger's jellyfish and @Gråbergs Gråa Sång: who handled while I was asleep. Guessing the new account would be found similar to Laura eley and Hari Teah but they're not overlapping and probably actually all editing on behalf of their client. Star Mississippi 11:46, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Actually, reading here, it seems @Usedtobecool had figured out the master. Flagging the new ones if you think there's something worth filing. I don't have the history beyond the AfD. Star Mississippi 11:48, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification, SM. I don't remember much. I probably did not identify the master, may have simply been checking what they might say having noticed the socking activity in the page history. Hari Teah was pushing an older Sam and it appears to have been a simple COI as they said. Hari Teah was a collaborator of that Sam Williams[1]. The new account is an obvious UPE pushing a different topic: created an account, waited a couple days, created a userpage, made a few newcomer task edits, and jumped straight into the article with a full article in a single edit, using an edit summary intended to throw off watchers. It can be blocked as a suspected UPE and suspected sock of Smagzine based on this comparison:[2][3]. Best, — Usedtobecool ☎️ 12:30, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Pinging LilianaUwU. — Usedtobecool ☎️ 12:36, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

That Kashisaz account is definitely a sock of Smagzine. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 19:48, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Usedtobecool @LilianaUwU for the background

My on wiki time is limited but Sam Williams (artist) tagged as it's a verbatim of the one at the other title, "new" editor blocked for DE since I don 't have bandwidth for SPI right now and I know it's also backlogged. Star Mississippi 12:30, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

My understanding is that Laura eley and Hari Teah wanted to write about the older Sam Williams, not the 2003 one. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

that's what I get for trying to read logs before coffee! Thanks @Gråbergs Gråa Sång and fixing ping above to @Jellyfish which the reply tool broke and I didn't catch. Star Mississippi 12:02, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for handling this! Responding late as I haven't been on my computer in a bit. The writing set off a few alarm bells, glad to see they didn't ring for nothing. Jellyfish (mobile) (talk) 18:28, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

user:MarsMad97

This seems like an incredibly obvious case of U5; however since I’m XFD topic banned I’m afraid to even tag it for speedy deletion. I’d like to request that you speedy delete this page for me so I don’t accidentally run afoul of my editing restrictions Dronebogus (talk) 10:24, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi! They haven't edited since 2012 or their userpage since 2010 so I don't think there's any need for action regardless of your editing restrictions.

Perhaps oversight might be needed for the email? My on wiki time is limited right now so I'm not pursuing that. If you think the U5 is needed, no objection to you asking someone else Star Mississippi 12:25, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for gentle advice

Hi Star Mississippi! I wanted to thank you for your post at ANI. I'll step back and not respond except for direct questions to me, of which I anticipate none. I also appreciate the way you phrased it as gentle advice; it made it much easier to swallow! Best, EducatedRedneck (talk) 19:57, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
