Thank you

Thank you for correcting my attempted corrections, it seems a revert was all that was needed and there was nothing worth saving in that edit. The changes by User:WikiMaster2K15 seem to be deeply flawed, and I even had to warn him against modifying quoted text. I will try to be more careful with my own edits, thanks again for catching my overcorrection. -- 109.76.196.74 (talk) 18:00, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Copy of a deleted page.

Hi, Namaste. I'm Shriram from India. I needed to access history of an article. The link I had bookmarked is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagra_(caste) . This page had also been edited multiple times previously. The information I'm looking for is a Table with 52 things in it. It was on the same page. I didn't know how to access this info or how to request for the same. All I could managed to do is this 'talk thing'. if this is possible somehow, I request you please arrange me the same. Thank you in advance. Shriramsrz (talk) 18:44, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Shriramsrz, thank you for your message. The normal process for getting access to or restoring a deleted article is WP:REFUND, but I'll bypass that for you. I have undeleted the article at User:Shriramsrz/Bagra (caste). I looked through the history of the article and did not see any revision with a table, but you're free to have a look yourself. Please note that the article was deleted because it was believed to be a non-notable topic, and you may not recreate the article unless you can show that the topic is notable through the use of citations to reliable sources, otherwise it will be deleted again (see WP:CSD#G4). Thank you.

@Sandstein: courtesy ping as you were the deleting admin. I assumed you would be okay with this action as the deletion was five years ago and we would consider it a soft delete these days. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 14:02, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

No problem, thanks. Sandstein 16:47, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind help. You are right, the information I'm looking for is not in the article. But I'm sure that the information with a tabular form was available in an article with the heading 'Bagra or Bagda Cast, or Bagra or Bagaur Brahmin' and the heading of the tabular format was something '52 Gotra'. Now I am helpless because I couldn't find any article with such name on Wikipedia, and I don't know how to search or find a deleted article. All I had was the bookmark. Alas! all in vain. Now I desperately need guidance whether you could help me with that. Anyway, you showed such a kind gesture. Thank you for that. Edit: May be this is the page https://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BC%E0%A4%BE Shriramsrz (talk) 06:32, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

@Shriramsrz: you will have to ask an administrator on the Hindi Wikipedia to review that page for you. I only have administrator privileges on the English Wikipedia. The administrator who deleted the page is SM7. They're not very active in English but you could try asking on their Hindi talk page. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:29, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

@Ivanvector Thank you so very much for your time. I will contact the administrator. Shriramsrz (talk) 01:57, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Revert

Can you revert this or at least bring it back with modifications? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1111766619 98.51.12.186 (talk) 17:40, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

@95.51.12.186: I restored the edit but I'm reviewing and I'm not so sure. The source you provided indicates an "admission date" of March 8, 1955, but various sources I've found have said that Hillery was imprisoned for rape in 1955, but was out on parole before he was convicted of murder and returned to prison in 1962. It needs to be clear in the table that he has not been imprisoned continuously since 1955. The source you provided also doesn't verify any of the details of his conviction, sentence, and re-trial; you need to provide sources for those things as well. I found these sources that will help: [1] [2] [3]. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 18:47, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
• Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
• Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.

Technical news

• The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out. If you wish to help out at AFC, enable AFCH by navigating to Preferences → Gadgets and checking the "Yet Another AfC Helper Script" box.

Arbitration

• Remedy 8.1 of the Muhammad images case will be rescinded 1 November following a motion.
• A modification to the deletion RfC remedy in the Conduct in deletion-related editing case has been made to reaffirm the independence of the RfC and allow the moderators to split the RfC in two.

Miscellaneous

• An administrator's account was recently compromised. Administrators are encouraged to check that their passwords are secure, and reminded that ArbCom reserves the right to not restore adminship in cases of poor account security. You can also use two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an extra level of security.
• Self-nominations for the electoral commission for the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections open 2 October and close 8 October.
• You are invited to comment on candidates in the 2022 CUOS appointments process.

Not in the sources cited

These revisions I made were deleted because User:Sundayclose said it was not in the sources cited but I am not sure about that being true could you check that for me and if it IS in the sources cited could you bring it back please? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_youngest_killers&type=revision&diff=1114876159&oldid=1114854589 Railtrailssuck (talk) 19:16, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Hey Ivanvector I just found out that Sundayclose seems to have a history of not looking at the sources in certain edits, or maybe is just indiscriminately reverting a new user and flooding their talk page with inappropriate warnings? I think he just did that to me the second time on the updates I made on Murder of David Dorn.--Railtrailssuck (talk) 19:32, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
