Editor of the Week : nominations needed!

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

A barnstar for you!

	The Admin's Barnstar
	Hi Maile, this is to thank you for becoming an administrator so you could work on the DYK queues! I saw how you adroitly promoted the sets around the P6 set that you had filled, in the absence of another admin. Your efforts to keep the DYK wheels moving are very appreciated! Best, Yoninah (talk) 23:46, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

Dear Maile, You earned your cookie with this catch. All the refs were in French so I just AGF'd. Yoninah (talk) 23:15, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Reviews

In case you have any interest in chipping in, I'm always scrounging for editors to review draft re-writes of low-quality articles where I have a COI.[1][2] CorporateM (Talk) 14:42, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

CorporateM I haven't been ignoring you, but I've had other priorities the last couple of weeks, and continue to have my attention mostly directed off-wiki. I glanced at these and see no problems except they are just two of many waiting in line to be reviewed. As difficult as the wait is, such is the case with every review process on Wikipedia. I don't have time to devote to doing the reviews for you, but you are welcome to ask anyone else for assistance. — Maile (talk) 11:51, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Deletion Inquiry

Hi,

I just noticed my page Buygoodeals was deleted by you. I made it just because I want to share information about one new thing. Could you please let me know why you think my page buygoodeals is advertising or promotion? I am new to WIKI, please help me to improve. Thanks!

Best regards, WeibinWeibinzha (talk) 08:38, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

I see Redrose64 has already responded to this on your talk page. It was proposed for speedy deletion as advertising. I'm the admin who deleted it. — Maile (talk) 12:14, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Not exactly, I responded at User talk:Velella#Deletion Inquiry - Velella is the user who marked it {{db-spam}}. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:42, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Could you please let me know how can I retrieve the deleted material for future reference and improvement?Weibinzha (talk) 18:40, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
