Request CSD on page unable to be tagged

Hey Explicit, sorry for reaching out to your specifically on your talk page like this, but it seemed like the easiest way to get this done (if there is a better way to get this done that doesn't involve having to bother you, please let me know because I'm sure this isn't the best way to do this I just can't figure out a better way to do it). I would like to request CSD per A7 on Module:Sandbox/Snood1205/Convert to eastern arabic numerals/testcases. For some reason using require('Module:Module wikitext')._addText([=[{{db-author|rationale=...}}]=]); didn't appropriately put a CSD request on the page. Thanks! snood1205 01:12, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Snood1205:

Done, it was no bother at all! But surely you meant G7, not A7?

✗plicit 01:15, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and yep G7 not A7. Oops! snood1205 01:18, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2 Media Deletions

File:Sonic X scene.png and File:Sonic X DVD.jpg. Can you undo these deletions? Former looks like a mistake[1]. The latter also best met FAC criteria.[2] « Ryūkotsusei » 05:13, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ryūkotsusei: I have restored the first file, but I'm trouble understanding the justification for the second. In the link you provided, it describes the image as "Cover art of the Spanish-language DVD of Season 2." That's an odd cover to identify the entire Japanese series, isn't it? ✗plicit 12:35, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Now Commons

Hello!

Good that you're deleting files I transfered to Commons! It seems most admins don't unfortunately, which has lead to quite a large backlog.Jonteemil (talk) 07:15, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect the reason for the backlog is that admins aren't sure if the license is correct so if it's deleted on Commons then it's gone, and this makes them unsure and leave the file page without deleting, am I right?Jonteemil (talk) 07:17, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) Explicit is also a Commons administrator so perhaps it easier for them to assess whether something is more likely OK for Commons than for someone who's only a Wikipedia administrator. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:40, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonteemil: Hi, no worries, thanks for the transfers! Magog the Ogre is also an English Wikipedia and Commons administrator who deals with this backlog, though there may be others. It's usually media file specialists who work in the area due to all the legal ramifications that come with it, laws that change from time to time, verifying the author, source, publication dates, checking for copyright violations, and so on. Editors willing to dig in this mud are far and few in between.

I'm not sure about others, but it's more of a "I'm not confident in this case, maybe another administrator is more knowledgeable and they determine if the licensing is correct" approach for me. There is so much about copyright to learn, but I go to the oldest in the backlog every once in a while and can make a determination weeks or months later because I always learn something new. Sometimes, it's more about making a better effort on my part to figure things out, ha. ✗plicit 12:35, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

deleted page Draft:Neeco

Hello. I would like to ask for help with this article about Neeco company, which I was trying to create and you deleted. I understand it was wrong but I have no idea how to write it properly so it is not promotional. Could you help me please? Elle at Neeco (talk) 07:59, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Elle at Neeco: Hi, perhaps you are aware, but please note that there is a conflict of interest on your part as an employee of the company. Generally, you are strongly discouraged from creating and editing pages relating to your employer, but Wikipedia understands that this simply can't be avoided. The pertinent guidelines for writing about this subject are Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion and the notability guideline for organizations and companies. ✗plicit 01:38, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subpages deleted after TFD, but they are still used

This is partly my fault, but the following subpages were deleted after a TFD even though they are still used. Can you please restore them? I will take care of moving them to a better location.

Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:49, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for restoring these. I have moved and replaced all of them, so they can all be re-deleted now. Sorry for the extra work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:21, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: The subpages were actually restored by Plastikspork. They are more knowledgeable with templates, so I will leave the fate of those redirects to them. ✗plicit 01:38, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks Plastikspork! The above templates (which I converted to redirects and then replaced with their targets in all transclusions) can be re-deleted. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:34, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done, it looks like these were all replaced by Template:Hatching colors. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 13:21, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like I have a benevolent stalker. Thanks all. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:51, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request to undelete page

I would like to undelete Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/VKKM, I am aware that deletion happened at the moment, but was unaware at the time when discussion happened. I would like to request a review, at which I would be able to provide notable sources, as per wikipedias guidelines, originaly I was unclear on sources requirments when article was created. Paulmafija (talk) 00:04, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Paulmafija: As the page was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion, I can not unilaterally undelete the page. You may want to try creating going through the Articles for creation process to address the issues brought up at the deletion debate. ✗plicit 12:57, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Block

Please block Riocokidswear for advertising and spam. Look at all their edits including deleted ones, they are advertising capital bank. Cheers--Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 12:50, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abhaya School

You closed this AfD as a soft delete for low quora. I'd like to take a 2nd look at the material: could you draftify the article?

Many thanks in advance. — Charles Stewart (talk) 10:44, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Chalst:

Done, the content is now available at Draft:Abhaya School. ✗plicit 11:30, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request to restore the deleted article

The article which I have created about the Indian film director Vinoth Rajendran has notable works, which is currently in editing process and under discussion, but you have deleted it. Please kindly undelete it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SarojiniMathiyalagan (talk • contribs) 03:27, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SarojiniMathiyalagan: Yes, Vinoth Rajendran was under discussion. For an entire week. The discussion resulted in deleting the page, as you failed to address any of the concerns raised during the debate. ✗plicit 03:34, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I was about to join the discussion after re-editing the reliable citations properly since the article was nominated because of non-notability. Can you please re-consider it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SarojiniMathiyalagan (talk • contribs) 04:36, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nicolás Atanes

hi, someone told me I should contact you to restore Nicolás Atanes. Actually the article was deleted more than 6 months ago, in an AfD discussion. I didn't took place on the discussion firstly because I didn't knew about it. I don't know Nicolás personally, I have heard about Nicolás because he was nominated for the Navarra Television Awards, and I heard him on Cadena SER. He has appeared in RNE, in the Telediario, writes in Diario 16, has met with great politicians (Mariya Gabriel, for example), and has been proposing educational changes in math for a long time. Without biases, and with reputable sources, and surely more things that have gone unnoticed about Nicolás, I believe that his Wikipedia article should be restored, and remain on Wikipedia.--83.53.76.219 (talk) 17:25, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, among the sources you've provided here, only the first two were published after the AFD took place. The first mentions him in passing, while the second only attributes quotes to him and does not amount to significant coverage. You may want to consider going through the Articles for creation process to address the issues brought up at the deletion debate. There, you will receive comments and advice from experienced users who can guide you in crafting an appropriate entry. ✗plicit 00:42, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Explicit - just a heads up, this is a site-banned sock puppeteer, I've just blocked the IP. Internet cafes are plentiful though, so if you see anything further along these lines, I'd advise just reverting and reporting at SPI (or ping me).

"Dark side of the Moon" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Dark side of the Moon and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 13#Dark side of the Moon until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. You issued an invitation to "take it to WP:RFD", so I have done that. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:48, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of Yellowstone episodes

I noticed you deleted Talk:List of Yellowstone episodes. The merge template on the episode articles link there for discussion, so where should the merger be discussed? —Confession0791 ^talk 11:05, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Confession0791: Hi, the discussion should have one centralized location on a talk page of an existing article. Otherwise, as with Talk:List of Yellowstone episodes, it will be eligible for speedy deletion in accordance with the Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page criterion. Where exactly that should take place I'll leave up to you. The {{Merge to}} template can be modified to point to a specific talk page and section by using the |discuss= parameter. ✗plicit 11:26, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RFD question

You just closed this RFD. I just found Mannerbund that was missed in the discussion. Maybe reopen and add this one? Although it has a different target, it had the same one in the past and is just a different variation with diacritics. Or delete it without discussion as the same applies? MB 02:09, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MB: Hi, I felt it best to reopen the discussion because of the different redirect targets. I have relisted the discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 14#Männerbund. ✗plicit 02:17, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AFD question

Hi again, I just stumbled across something else you were involved with. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thunder River (ride) was a soft delete and since restored. I found the AFD in the edit history of another article where a link to the deleted article was removed. Now in the restored Thunder River (ride), there is no indication of a previous AFD on the TP. Is this normal? If an AFD does not result in deletion, there is a record on the TP. But here is is lost. MB 05:53, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MB: Hm, I think there's a bot somewhere that tags talk pages of recreated articles previously deleted through AFD with the previous 'delete' result, but it seemingly does not deal with pages that were restored. They probably should be tagged with said template. There was a batch of recently undeleted roller coaster-related pages, so they're all likely missing that documentation. I'll try to get a list together and tag them all. ✗plicit 14:01, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What if the tagging were done as part of the AFD closure before the article was deleted? Wouldn't that handle this in all cases going forward? I have no idea what would be involved in making that happen... MB 14:07, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Undeleting Lmmnhn pages

Greetings. It is noticeable that dozens of pages created by banned User:Lmmnhn were deleted under ban violation. Is it possible to have a mass un-deletion of those pages, considering their role in the topic of Hong Kong elections, and that such articles are believed not to be disruptive to the Wikipedia community. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks and kind regards. ~~ J. Dann 06:06, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cypp0847: Hi, policy would not allow such restorations. If you'd like, I can give you a copy of the content if you'd make a list of the affected pages. ✗plicit 02:08, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It would be gratifying if copies could be obtained. For the list of affected pages please have a check over here. Thanks. ~~ J. Dann 13:51, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cypp0847: I have copied the contents and have linked them below, which will be available on Pastebin.com for one month before expiring. There's a limit of ten pastes per day, so I will complete the remaining nine tomorrow.

Most of the other entries on your subpage were redirect pages and did not contain any article content. ✗plicit 14:26, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
