Can you please restore: Gamma Theta Phi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.66.61.218 (talk) 14:58, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please restore: Paxful? It was tagged for speedy deletion as it spotted repost from the one that was flagged back in April 2019. But I've only used a handful of material from the source and it has been thoroughly edited and revised for accuracy and notability. Paxful is a peer to peer bitcoin marketplace operating in almost the same scale as LocalBitcoins. The tone is sufficiently neutral and I've removed the elements from the last edit which made it look like an ad.

Greetings! I can see you reviewed page made by me—Hay’s bridge. Thank you for your edits.

I’ve made two pages since a long ago and they have not been reviewed yet by any administrator. The pages are Gokuldas Tejpal and Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (amendment) Bill. Can you please review them?

Also, I’ve applied for Rollback before 4 days here and my request got no response which generally get solved within a day or two. Can you please look at this matter? Thanks a lot again. Harshil want to talk? 01:28, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well for Kelblizz you will have to say more than just he is a disc jockey, also the two sources look identical, so might be a press release. It would prove notability if you get reliable, independent but different references. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:48, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of post-election Donald Trump rallies is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of rallies for the 2016 Donald Trump presidential campaign until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. czar 00:56, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Convert m2

Your AWB script changes to <sup>2</sup>. That's good, but it causes errors when done inside a template such as {{convert}}. For example, diff broke {{convert|113.69|km²|2|abbr=on}}. Perhaps some tweaking of the AWB script would change to m2 inside a convert template before changing other occurrences. Johnuniq (talk) 07:29, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq: Thanks for the alert as I must have missed those in the manual check. Have you fixed the ones I screwed up? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:01, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I fixed a couple of issues which were shown in a tracking category, all good. Johnuniq (talk) 08:06, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have now tested a regex to fix: {{([Cc])onvert([^}]*)<sup>([23])</sup> → {{$1onvert$2$3 so hopefully I won't have this blunder again. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:37, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I do not use AWB much, but have done some fixes using it. To convert I think the proper procedure would be to insert a rule before other rules. The inserted rule would change m² to m2 in convert templates. Then do what you where previously doing regarding other m² occurrences in following rules. Under Advanced settings, the inserted rule would have a name like "fix convert". The Type would be "Inside templates {{...}}", and the If tab would show Contains "[Cc]onvert". The Find tab would be m² and Replace with would be m2. Johnuniq (talk) 07:37, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing Request

Hi editor/admin sir wikimedia commons have accepted the OTR's as well and the editors have fixed few mistakes in the page as well. I'm requesting you to kindly review/patrol this page not because i have no patience but because if you google it you will notice many people and news media from pakistan are talking about "operation swift retort" 90% people don't know that there is a wikipedia already made. I hope you will review this if possible i have many different articles.

That formatting is really messed up, probably to do with mixing right to left and left to right fonts. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:46, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Graeme sir could you try to fix so i can understand and will make no mistake in future regarding 'fonts' Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by پاک آرمی زندہ باد (talkcontribs) 08:52, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was me that messed up. You font looks OK. But for your page about the film, it is presenting one point of view. Even if the film does so, the Wikipedia article cannot appear to be favouring Pakistan. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:57, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks But actually the fact is mentioned in the page anyways i welcome all the comments :) one question how to check if that page is patrolled ? and thanks for correcting the grammar mistakes. one more thing where i said "indian media propagated" , you added , "indian media said" let me clear it

Indian media on 26 feb 2019 propagated that 350 terrorists were killed next day indian air force and indian army officials said to media that "we are not sure if someone was killed or not and that 350 were killed is a media fabricated story"

so according me it's a propaganda for more pls see https://timesofislamabad.com/26-Feb-2019/pakistan-military-warns-india-of-a-big-surprise https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/03/04/after-pulwama-indian-media-proves-it-is-bjps-propaganda-machine/ https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/437218-latest-video-rejects-indian-propaganda-of-targeting-jaish-camp


Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by پاک آرمی زندہ باد (talkcontribs) 12:09, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well "propagated" is not the verb for making propaganda. Probably fabricated is a more suitable verb. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:37, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi can you lemme know that what does it mean "article needs to be re written"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Swift_Retort_(film) the article is edited by editors like you i mean how to re write it ? i am just confused your guidance will be fruitful for me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by پاک آرمی زندہ باد (talkcontribs) 08:58, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Psalm 100

Hi, you didn't seem to understand the complaint about the Psalms. The copyrighted text in question is the Judaica Press English translation. It's listed on the Chabad.org website as a separate copyright from the Chabad website's own copyright. (Can be hard to find, the notice is inside a graphic and not actual HTML text.) I do not claim expertise to know if the Hebrew text is copyrighted. I assume that it is not. But that's immaterial if the English translation is still within copyright, we can't use it. (Claim also affects dozens of other Psalm articles, see my report at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2019 September 16 where I've listed the numbers of allll the other articles which have infringing text in them.

RE Draft:Jon Green

Draft:Jon Green

Hi Graeme Bartlett, I have more time now to edit and complete this page, It would be much appreciated if you restored it. Thanks! Harrywood2 (talk) 15:41, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Rarest element requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 13:45, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Done @Valoem: you will have to make significant additions to all of these before moving back to mainspace to avoid a redelete. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:37, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I've restored and expanded the articles with additional sources. I've never understood the rule of deleting notable articles that are neutrally written simply because the editor was banned. Do you think it would be safer to remove the edits made by the banned editors? Valoem talk contrib 12:08, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you can do that, then do so. The purpose of G5 deletion is to deny recognition to those that break the rules. Some of the trouble makers might be violating copyright, or ignoring paid editor requirements. So if you want to keep any text, please check if it is neutral and correct.

List of films created with davinci resolve

The missing films of that 1000 likely didn’t have a reference or article written about them and thus aren’t listed. Therefore, the list will likely never have 1000 films listed. It isn’t ridiculous in size as other video editing programs like Final Cut Pro also have long lists of the software’s use in major feature films. Wikipedia already has a similar list with reliable sources on the Blackmagic Fusion Wikipedia article. However, this new list is relating to DaVinci Resolve rather than simply Blackmagic Fusion’s use in feature films. Also, Blackmagic Fusion has since been integrated into Davinci Resolve like a successor to the program which should explain the overlap in films listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Googleuser (talkcontribs) 02:18, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merging planetary differentiation and core-mantle differentiation

Hi, I noticed that there are separate articles for planetary differentiation and core-mantle differentiation despite those being essentially the same thing. It seems like the sensible thing would be to merge them, but I have no idea how to do that or request that. Since you are an admin who has made some structural/linkage edits to the core-mantle differentiation page I thought I would ask you. The core-mantle differentiation page is the better of the two, but planetary differentiation is a more general term and that page is listed as a level-5 vital article and linked into more wikiprojects, so it seems like the better option would be to merge the content of core-mantle differentiation into planetary differentiation rather than the other way around, but I'm open to either. AlexInMetal since you wrote the vast majority of the core-mantle differentiation article your input would be valuable too if you are still around. Thanks, Physdragon (talk) 15:57, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I will add merge tagging for you. Don't pay any attention to level-5 Vital article classifications as they are the very bottom of importance and not really vital. Planetary differentiation article is poorly referenced and so could do with much improvement. Personally I think they could be two different topics as you say the planetary differentiation is much more general. THat could include planets very different to Earth. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:28, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I've added a section on the talk page to see if anyone else has any thoughts and will leave it about a week before starting to merge them. Physdragon (talk) 15:31, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

About "albumN" in <ref></ref>

Hello,
I have seen this edit, where you replaced <ref name="albumNotes"> by <ref name="albumotes">. I do not know how to configure the AWB tool, but is it possible to avoid replacing albumN → album in <ref></ref>?
Regards --NicoScribe (talk) 21:16, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well I have undid that change. What I can do is not make it change with a capital N inside. I always manually check if the edit is sane. In this case where it was a ref name I thought it was OK as long as it was consistent. But if people care then I don't have to let it happen.

Hello Graeme I have removed sections about Chronosomes and their significance and added a new section about the structural significance of Herschel’s interpretation.

LysteriaBot and non-free images

Hi Graeme. A while I back I posted Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 154#ListeriaBot adding non-free images to Wikipedia namespace page, Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 158#Lysteria bot and shadowing and Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 159#Lysteria bot and shadowing to see what could be done about this. I even asked the bot's operator about this at User talk:Magnus Manske/Archive 6#Non-free images being added by Lysteria bot, but never got a response. The bot is at it again, this time adding File:Frank Tashlin.jpg to User:Gamaliel/Billy Ireland. Basically what's happening as explained at User talk:JJMC89#File:Frank Tashlin.jpg is that JJMC89's bot keeps correctly removing the file and LysteriaBot keeps incorrectly re-adding it. Any idea on how to stop LysteriaBot from doing that? -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:41, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion

Hi. What is the right avenue for an article to be restored that has been deleted on G5 grounds? I have already tried asking the deleting admin but they declined. Solo Samaritan (talk) 07:02, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Solo Samaritan: First you may have to demonstrate that you are not connected to the article creator, and are truly independent. Then the likely trouble that may be connected to the article creator would need to be examined, for example is it a copyright violation, is it an advert, etc. Then you can offer to take responsibility and propose additions. WP:DRV is the place to go to appeal a deletion and establish a consensus. It would often be easier just to write a new article. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:39, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mu

Hi, I noticed several edits for "µ → μ" in the context of units. The first "µ" (U+00B5) has Unicode name micro sign, and the later "μ" (U+03BC) has Unicode name greek small letter mu. Given than several of these changes are for units for the micro sign, then why change them to a Greek letter? +mt 20:57, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

hi @Mwtoews: I was started off in this by errors identified on Wikipedia:Typo Team/moss. The WP:MOS recommends the Greek letter for this use. U+00B5 is deprecated. Initially I was confused as those two characters look very similar on the screen, but a find in the browser would not find the alternate, but a Wikipedia search found both, and a wikilink automatically changes it to the Greek letter. Recently I started to use AWB to find micro signs. However perhaps it is not worthwhile to change them when there is nothing else to fix in the page, as the look of the page is the same. There are still 2351 pages with occurrences of "µm" (micrometer) to go! You can expect that the typo team will eventually change them all. I already changed all the "µM". µg and µL are also quite common. Do you think I should stop changing the en-masse? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:39, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it's a super subtle detail that not many will see. What source says that U+00B5 is deprecated? +mt 22:03, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Graeme. I was just trying to sort out the confusion between these two compounds. I've moved things around in Wikidata, so if you could double check to see if everything looks consistent to you, that would be helpful. -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:03, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Edgar181:, I have already been looking at the Wikidata and it was changing as I looked! I already noticed that chemspider was confused, and it is not clear from the name what the isomer actually is! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:08, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I suspect that though they are technically different isomeric chemical compounds, that in real-world uses it is as a mixture and that any discussion of one in various sources is really about both/either. -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:14, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Graeme Bartlett - On 11/25/19, I submitted a revised version of Draft:Landed for AfC review. On 11/27/19, it appears the draft's submission template was removed by another editor.

Fryslân

Hi,

I'm not sure where to start, so decided to call upon your help. There is a province in the Netherlands which is wrongly being called "Friesland" for a very long time. I'm trying to edit pages with any reference, stating the official name is "Fryslân", but I have noticed it's literally all over (references to flags, other pages, etc.). Even though the province is called Friesland by many people, the real name is Fryslân. It's like we would make a "Holland" page for the Netherlands. Just because it's common to use a name, doesn't make it right.

For your reference, the official page of the Fryslân government page, which lets you choose Dutch or Frisian as your language. Note that Fryslân doesn't change (!), but everything else in the text does. Why not? Because it's the name of the province. I don't mind footnotes which state is commonly used or mostly referred to as Friesland or even "Friesland in Dutch", but the official links should be correct, right? I always like Wiki to give factual correct information, but don't know how to change the reference pages...

Looking forward to your help and passing on this message :)

A frustrated former Frisian resident — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.115.204.15 (talk) 18:28, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is English Wikipedia, so we use English language names for things, which are not necessarily the local names. And you can also see WP:Official name which expands this. Eventually it may change. However there is not really an "â" symbol in the English alphabet, so don't expect it to be adopted like that. However, if there are any references that fail to match the title of the page, they should be fixed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:46, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Restore pages and re-redirect?

It's been a few years since I edited here. Something that bothers me is how some redirects are deleted outright (e.g. Volvagia). In my opinion, the page could be re-restored and re-redirect to something more appropriate rather than be outright deleted. Anyway, I see that you're on the Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles list, and i was wondering if you could either restore Volvagia's edit history or give to me as an XML. I am making a Zelda Wiki, and deleted Wikipedia articles could greatly help (especially if i can copy them and attribute to wikipedia). This way the content is recycled more appropriately :) thanks 2005-Fan (talk) 00:53, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@2005-Fan: I have restored the versions with content to User:2005-Fan/Volvagia. I did not however restore redirects as the target does not even mention this name. Note Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2018_January_28#Levels/stages,_items,_concepts,_and_characters_in_The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time, so I would not call it outright. Are you able to use Special:Export to get your xml? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:07, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry

This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

Can I get the full history restored to the Draft:Grandyy it looks like there were previous drafts as well. The YouTuber has 2.5 million views I have also found multiple sources. Also can you move The Magic Castle to Magic Castle per commonname? Valoem talk contrib 18:13, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if there are any issues with this userfication request. You have helped me restore articles for several years now, all articles I've restored have been brought to encyclopedic quality and I appreciate the help you've given me in expanding Wikipedia. Given my track record with you I can't help but notice that this delay may be caused by this comment by ferret (talk · contribs) who I have never interacted with before. In terms of policy, I am correct here I can restore the page as it has never went through AfD. Also the last version was created in 2016, the version I restore included an additional six sources all of which are secondary and reliable. The VG community is fairly cordial so I believed a discussion can be productive. As it happens the VG community has an IAR policy specifically regarding this article which prefers the release of a next gen console's specs before an article is created. This is to deter fancruft and speculation for entering the article, an issue I believe can be resolved through page protection. Based on policy this version I restored passes GNG and I am confident that if I insisted on an AfD it would survive. However, since there is a general agreement this article will be created after E3 2020 in June, I've elected to wait as that is the most amiable path to take. If you have any issues please let me know, I tend to try and push out as many articles as I can toward the end of the year and I always need to see prior versions of article to make sure I am using stronger sources. I do intent to DRV Grandyy after I've completed the article. Also the second request of moving The Magic Castle to Magic Castle is uncontroversial as per commonname [1]. Valoem talk contrib 19:45, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've included some sources regarding Grandayy The Verge, Malta Today, Polygon, Times of Malta, and Independent each source gives him significant coverage. Valoem talk contrib 19:53, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I suspect you're conflating separate issues, Graeme may simply be busy at this time, its the holidays after all in many regions. I see you didn't really note that I wasn't the only one opposed to your draft for the ninth generation being mainspaced, as the project discussion clearly shows. We've also interacted on several articles, but that's fine. I have zero opinion on Grandyy. You should focus on that instead. -- ferret (talk) 20:21, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ferret: It would be better if we have this discussion on your talk page, but on the relevant topic, I did indeed note that after the discussion was opened the general consensus is to wait until E3 for specs and to avoid speculation cruft being added to the article, I clearly said that, in fact I somewhat agree. Since there was no AfD nor a comment left on the deletion page, an editor who has not previously dealt with the topic (i.e. me) would be unaware a discussion was requested. Regardless, since no comment was left and no AfD in its history, a discussion is not required to restore an article delete by PROD, plus I added six reliable sources. I do still believe if this went to AfD where a wide range of editor are involved this article would have a chance to survive. The comment you left had an undertone that I was being disruptive when I was not, do you think I was being disruptive? Valoem talk contrib 21:06, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Valoem: The renaming-to-be-moved-later thing struck me as odd, but otherwise there was no undertone intended (nor did I leave a warning, which I would have if I felt it was disruptive) -- ferret (talk) 21:20, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ferret: Ok sounds good, for the move, the reason I do that in some cases is because other similar articles have done the same in the past. It seems earlier generations were written under History of video game consoles (X generation) then moved to X generation of video game consoles such as History of video game consoles (eighth generation), History of video game consoles (seventh generation) I do it to maintain consistence and precedence. Valoem talk contrib 21:32, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That other request actually had nothing to do with this one. I was thinking of referring you to ST47, the deleter. However since I now see an offer to DRV and not just move it back to mainspace, then it will follow the community's wishes in regard to whether this should exist or not. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:45, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Following the very recent death of his uncle Robert, the 3rd Lord Baden-Powell, David's father Michael becomes the 4th Lord B-P, and I thought that some "visitors" might be interested to find out about the new heir to the title, so I created the Page, as a start, while I sought more information, and to enable others to add more.

Deletion of File:3Coffins.jpg

Hi. I see you've deleted File:3Coffins.jpg as an as an allegedly invalid fair-use claim. It was no doubt bot-tagged because a fair use image showing the UK first edition already appears in the article, and the bot thought that this was a second image showing the same thing.

The reason Salavat gave wsa "Fails WP:NFCC#3a as multiple non-free images are being used when one would suffice, and also, or in the alternative, fails WP:NFCC#8 as the image does not add significantly to readers' understanding of the article and its omission would not be detrimental to that understanding". I can't see that you User:MichaelMaggs ever edited the file information or talk page. Perhaps you are thinking of another file? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:43, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK now I see you were editing File:The Three Coffins, US first edition 1935.png only a few days ago. you should talk to user talk:Explicit about this delete. User:JJMC89 did the tagging for F7 delete. (not a bot) JJMC89 is also an admin. (a bot did do a request to remove old unused revision though). Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:50, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I seem to have confused two separate uploads. I'll contact user talk:Explicit as you suggest. Thanks for the quick response, and apologies for bothering you. MichaelMaggs (talk) 13:53, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

chembox

Thanks for putting the chembox on the Color Developing Agent articles. I added them so that I could link them from the appropriate articles, and realizing that even the simplest part of the chemistry wasn't in the other articles. I actually did E6 processing when I was in college 40 years ago, and I remember looking up the names on the box, especially the color developer which is, pretty much, the most important part. I didn't know about chembox, but it is nice to see them. Thanks! Gah4 (talk) 10:42, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please unprotect this so established editors can edit it fully protection appears to violate WP:AGF. This redirect has been contested and is time sensitive as this is an ongoing event and likely to be expanded now. Valoem talk contrib 22:31, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Either ask user talk:Zzyzx11 or put a request at WP:RFPP as this is obviously controversial, so I won't do a unilateral override. (Related discussion is there already) In the meantime you can edit Death of Kobe Bryant. Or use Talk:2020 Island Express Sikorsky S-76B crash to discuss whether or not it should be a redirect. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:38, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Zz appears to have left after full protection as he is not responding. There was no policy violating edit warring so the full protection is unnecessary and bold. Unfortunately, this is time sensitive as current and trending article are most likely to be expanded. I've left a message on Mjroots talk page regarding this. Valoem talk contrib 22:45, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Edit warring is policy-violating by definition. Plus you don’t boldly move forward while a discussion is ongoing and you have been reverted. — MarkH21talk 22:52, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I see a response from Zz about 20 minutes ago. There was a small amount of reverting. But the next step is WP:RFPP. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:55, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Flusha

Can you restore the full talk and history and can you restore the history and talk for Cheating in Counter-Strike plan on taking an relevant information and moving it to an article on the Culture of Counter-Strike. Valoem talk contrib 06:52, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

? are you asking for history of Flusha? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:05, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can you also restore the history and talk of XNXX, DRV closer Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk · contribs) requested I ask another admin. Valoem talk contrib 17:09, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK see Draft:XNXX. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:11, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for undeletion

I just placed a Request for undeletion request for an old article at the usual site, and given that I am a non-logging editor, am afraid it will get a knee-jerk rejection. You have seen some of my editing, and know that I am reliable—could you take a quick look at that request, as time permits? Thanks, cheers. [Frmr.
