Hi! This is my talk page, feel free to drop me a message.

Page mover granted

Hello, Elliot321. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 17:51, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Congratulations

Your DYK hook about Snowflake ID drew 5,180 page views (432 per hour) while on the Main Page. It is the one of most viewed hooks so far during the month of February and has earned a place on the Best of February list. Keep up the great work! Cbl62 (talk) 10:40, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	I know this is a bit late, but I just wanted to thank you for resolving the whole issue with Joel S. Levine being put back into draftspace after publication in a peaceful and non-confrontational manner. I really appreciate your work! Yitz (talk) 06:36, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

@Yitzilitt: thanks! Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 06:37, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Creepy Joe

As creator of the redirect, I agree that your proposed target is better. Can probably be speedily closed. If you run into any of mine again you think have a better target, leave a message on my talk page and if I agree, then we can spare an RFD discussion. Hog Farm _Talk 04:59, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

@Hog Farm: gotcha. I was considering retargeting, but I figured this change might be controversial since the section does have some relevant info. Anyway, have a good one. I'll close the RfD. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 05:01, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Involved closure

I've requested re-closure at WP:AN of the RfC you closed after voting in it. If you wish to review the instructions for closing RfCs, you can do so here. Best, Samsara 17:43, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Samsara fair enough. I figured that per "if the matter under discussion is not contentious and the consensus is obvious to the participants, then formal closure is neither necessary nor advisable", I could close the RfC, as the consensus was very clear and non-controversial - and the RfC was not attracting more comments with a potential change to that consensus.

DYK nomination of Eli Savit

Hello! Your submission of Eli Savit at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Rcsprinter123 (post) 18:19, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Elliot321

Thank you for creating FreeShop.

User:TheTechnician27, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

The only other reliable sources I could find about this software discuss it entirely within the context of the DMCA takedown, such as Gamasutra, the Daily Express (twice), and Nintendo Life (this one uses the Kotaku piece as its sole source). The only other reliable sources I can find tangentially related to the freeShop are about its creator, such as this article from Patch and this one from Patch this one from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Of course, however, these would be both largely outside this article's scope and probably wildly inappropriate to include as none of them even mention the freeShop.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|TheTechnician27}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 16:23, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

TheTechnician27 indeed, I do think the TorrentFreak source I used discussed the software outside of that context - and TorrentFreak is generally considered a reliable source. Also, yeah, I wasn't going to include the stuff about the developer's legal troubles, because while it's certainly the same person, it's not relevant nor is the person that generally notable (though, maybe? Edvalson v The State did cause some law changes, apparently, though not documented in reliable sources) Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 17:00, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Fuck

The article Fuck you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Fuck for issues which need to be addressed.

About my redirect pages I have been creating

Firstly I wanted to thank you for fixing a mistake I had made in Template:1959 United States elections. I could not find that one small bracket that I had missed and cannot thank you enough. Secondly, you had mentioned to me that redirects should be categorized and have a template on them. Another Wikipedian told me at one point that categories aren't needed. I'm not sure about the template part though. Plus, I must say that I appreciate you complementing me about creating these redirect pages and it makes my work have a higher level of value to it. It is my exact purpose to create these pages for navigational purposes.

Skim 01:48, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Skim127 glad I could help! As for redirect categories - the categories aren't absolutely necessary when making them but applying them is much appreciated - and please use the templates when available, they are preferable to the naked cats. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 03:56, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Telefongyár

Hi! The Telefongyár article contains translations from the Hungarian "Telefongyar" article. There are tons of English language references here: https://www.google.com/search?q=telefongyar+telephone&biw=3840&bih=2085&sxsrf=ALeKk00K9-Hg5qlcbHzhcQQYx3PzvGeguA%3A1614840607245&source=lnt&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A%2Ccd_max%3A&tbm=bks Can you move it back to the normal articles? I can add references too. --Durnheim (talk) 06:53, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Durnheim If you add the references to the article, I'll move it back. Both Hungarian and English language references are acceptable. {{cite web}} might be useful for citing online sources. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 06:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Eli Savit

On 7 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Eli Savit, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 2020, Eli Savit was elected the prosecuting attorney of Washtenaw County, Michigan, on a promise to abolish the cash bail system? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Eli Savit. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Eli Savit), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Draft:Brad_Walls

Hi Elli! We had a brief chat over on Teahouse on artist notability. Did you find any time to look through the Draft:Brad_Walls? Thanks :) Bradwalls1992 (talk) 04:17, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Bradwalls1992 sure, thanks for the reminder! (sorry, midterms have caught me to get a bit less responsive than I'd like) Elli (talk | contribs) 04:42, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

All good Elli! Bradwalls1992 (talk) 04:54, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Bradwalls1992 so, here's the thing. I've removed a significant amount of sources that were in the article that were either redundant or from unreliable sources (see WP:FORBESCON for example). The main issue is that while the content in the "Career" section is well-sourced, it's not significant biographical coverage. The reference I've left in "Early life" would work if Aerial Photography Awards were a reliable source, but they aren't. Additionally, since they don't have an article, nor much coverage that I could find, it's unlikely that winning a category in the contest gives notability.

However, if you have any reliable source that gives that level of biographic coverage of you, that should be sufficient. Elli (talk | contribs) 05:03, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli. Thanks for reviewing and providing your comments. I have rebuilt the content solely focusing on style to pass WP:Artist. Many artists pages are less biographical (birth place, education etc) and focus on their significant artistic impact in society, a great example of this is Maria Svarbova. Given the similarities that we both share in regards to artistic presence, I find it hard how this would be declined. Awaiting your response Bradwalls1992 (talk) 21:48, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Elli Has the re-work of the article now met the guidelines for publishing? Thanks Bradwalls1992 (talk) 05:15, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Bradwalls1992 Closer, still looking at it.

BTW, there's no need to link my username on my talk-page, I get notified here either way. Elli (talk | contribs) 05:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Cool. Yep my bad re. username!.

Your GA nomination of Fuck

The article Fuck you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Fuck for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of SNUGGUMS -- SNUGGUMS (talk) 03:02, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

SNUGGUMS sorry about that. I'll make the requested changes and re-nominate soon. Thank you again for your review, it has been and will be very helpful. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:36, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Of course, and best of luck for when you do that. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 04:27, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Template names

Hello, Template names are supposed to be completely descriptive of their function and of their flow.

We are supposed to name them long, then create a shortcut to them that is succinct and memorable.

To that end, the long template name has a very germane shortcut name.

To nominate a template for deletion based on the longness of its name is contrary to the instructions for the naming conventions of templates.

Please, kindly withdraw your nomination on that basis.

Most respectfully - {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 15:06, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

WikiWikiWayne hi, my nomination was more based off of how the template is not used nor apparently useful - the naming was not the main issue. Feel free to comment at the TfD, though. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:06, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
