CSD

Hi Pam,

You were probably right to CSD that article, pixel whatever something. A website not indicating notability, but it was (apparently) about seven minutes old and created by a new user. I was going to give the editor another 15 mins to respond before suggesting he or she sand box it. I hope that wasn’t wrong. I was trying to factor encouragement into my methods. Edaham (talk) 21:50, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

@Edaham: You may be right - I should perhaps have looked at the history of Pixilart before CSDing it. But the new user hasn't made any more edits since the one edit where they started that unsourced stub, though it's now 40 minutes. PamD 21:57, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

anyway the user now has more than enough info to work out where he or she went wrong, so if it is sourcable and has a diligent user attached to it, it will get worked out in time. Cheers. Have a good day (or night) :) Edaham (talk) 22:03, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Redirects to The Coral Sea (book)

PamD,

Since you essentially reverted my redirection of Staff of Life to The Coral Sea (book) (which I do not object to), what do you think about the rest of the redirects to The Coral Sea (book)? I'm thinking most, if not all of them, should be deleted. Steel1943 (talk) 14:54, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

@Steel1943: Yes, I did realise I was being perhaps a bit bold in killing off your redirect. I'm not sure that individual chapters (?) of a prose poem merit redirects, are you? I could, perhaps should, have made "Staff of life" a redirect to bread and left "Staff of Life" as the redirect to the book ... but any "redirect" hatnotes would have been pretty ungainly. Not sure of the best solution, and no strong feelings - I was just rescuing a threatened useful redirect at WP:RfD. PamD 15:04, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Skill shown for free is skill wasted.

Thanks for reminding me dance again as if one robot Boylen was not enough to make me understand that skills for free aren't appreciated and always pointed out. Rudeness is in that giving warning won't solve the problem either. Articles if edited or even created by me need some time and it is about the person or place what is wanted by masses atleast Asian masses to know. It is like you all pointing air saying that we can't see it so it isn't there. Thanks once again. I wonder why . . . It happens that I forget the things which elders told me above mentioned rule was one of them then this disobedience of not following the thumbrule makes even robots point out. Mansukhsurin (talk) 16:11, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Hmm, should an editor with the above-demonstrated level of English language competence really be trying to contribute to this encyclopedia, I wonder? PamD 16:20, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Oh, it's really my fault. So sorry for my stupid actions. I didn't know about that before. Sorry for my bad grammars Lam

DYK for Astrid Medina

On 30 April 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Astrid Medina, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Astrid Medina farms coffee at over 1,800 metres (5,900 ft)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Astrid Medina. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Astrid Medina), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.
