Hello I have reviewed the deletion of my account. There were multiple articles that backed up much of what was written. I have numerous publications that were cited. What can I do to help get the page back on? I did er create it but it really was a nice thing to have so people could learn about my scientific achievements. Thank you so much. You can also email me at rzoumalan@hotmail.com. Also I just want to say I read your great contributions to Wiki and i respect all the wot you have our into it. We need more people like you. -Dr Zoumalan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rzoumalan (talk • contribs) 17:23, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

The following improvements need to be made to the page for Vicente Gonzalez (politician)
Information needs to be updated. The current information holds sources that support this update. All other updates can be sourced through resources from Vicente Gonzalez's congressional website: https://gonzalez.house.gov/
If I am not "allowed" to make these changes on a website that promotes the ability to do so, then please direct me to whoever can make these changes. If not, I will continue to push for these changes (which are verifiable), until the changes are made.
Requested changes below:
Early life, education, and early career
Gonzalez was born in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1967[2] to [Olga Cantu] and [Vicente Gonzalez], a Korean War veteran and U.S. Merchant Marine. Gonzalez attended Roman Catholic School in Corpus Christi for part of his primary education, but eventually dropped out of high school during his junior year. He went onto obtain a G.E.D. and returned to school by enrolling at Del Mar Junior College where he received an Associate’s Degree in Banking and Finance.[3][4]
In 1992, Gonzalez received his Bachelor of Science degree in aviation business administration from the Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University on the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station. After high school, and throughout college, Gonzalez traveled to almost 100 countries around the world.
In 1996, Gonzalez obtained his Juris Doctor from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law (now Texas A&M University School of Law) in Fort Worth, Texas. While a law student, he interned for then Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz (D-TX-27). He trained in Negotiation at Harvard Law School [in Cambridge, Massachusetts]. In 1997, he founded the law firm, V. Gonzalez & Associates, in McAllen, Texas. He is a member of the Bar Associations of Texas and New York.[5]
As an attorney, Gonzalez successfully recovered millions in proceeds for businesses, homeowners and public schools throughout the country. His professional successes prompted an invitation to join the prestigious Million Dollar & Multi-million Dollar Advocates Forum, a membership reserved for less than one percent of American attorneys.
Gonzalez's wife, Lorena Saenz Gonzalez, is a former educator and school administrator from McAllen, Texas.
Peter Handke edit
I did not engage in edit warring. I reverted his revert of my good-faith and objective addition only once, then requested page protection. I would like my addition to be restored and the editor to be prevented from changing it, as there is nothing inaccurate or malicious within my addition; in fact, it simply serves as further information on Hendke's page. Everything was properly cited and formated, to boot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbabuch (talk • contribs) 23:11, 16 October 2109 (UTC)
- @Gbabuch: The citations and formatting are not the issue here. The issue is neutrality. WP:CONTROVERSYSECTIONS violate neutrality by producing an undue emphasis on negative material. Also, that material has been relocated throughout the article, so that you are addiction of a controversy section is stating the controversial information twice. The other editors have mentioned this in their edit summaries. Therefore, your edit will not be reinserted. Any attempts on your part 2 reinsert it constitute edit warring, and may result in a block. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:18, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- WP:CONTROVERSYSECTION is an essay. Whether something adheres to NPOV is a content dispute, which should be resolved through a discussion. You cannot give mandates like
"Therefore, your edit will not be reinserted".
- Why not just tell everybody to go to the article talk page or WP:BLPN? There is a discussion at BLPN: Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Peter Handke. One editor said
"I don't think it's unreasonable that the controversies take up almost half Peter Handke"
. This was on 10 October, when there was a separate controversy section. Politrukki (talk) 02:07, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
- WP:CONTROVERSYSECTION is an essay. Whether something adheres to NPOV is a content dispute, which should be resolved through a discussion. You cannot give mandates like
Reggie Bagala
Hello, I noticed that you helped to edit Bob Glanzer and Isaac Robinson's pages after they died from coronavirus. I am wondering if you would like to also help with Reggie Bagala who has also recently died from it. - Jon698 talk 2:41 10 April 2020

How much is enough for mainspace? It was growing pretty fast in the two days it existed. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 15:07, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Peregrine Fisher, there isn't one definition for what is "enough", but I don't think the subject meets WP:GNG based on a quick and not too deep search. I could be wrong. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:14, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Her name brings up about 600 articles on a news search. [1] Inlcuded are articles from Fox, NBC, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Seattle PI, BET, Media Matters for America. Most or all of those are reliable sources. Would you please move it back or take to AfD. Peregrine Fisher (talk) 00:22, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Peregrine Fisher, the WP:GHITS may be there, but that doesn't mean notability is. I suggest you work on it in draft space, where you get six months before it's deleted. If you want me to move it back to mainspace, a deletion discussion would only give you one week. Are you sure that's what you want? – Muboshgu (talk) 19:00, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oh I see you've done it already. Very well then. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:01, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Edit reinstatement
The edits to the Keisha Lance Bottoms page are verifiable, neutral, and from primary sources. There is no claim of opinion, only the documentation of a series of events verified by a neutral third party (the city's paper of record). This is also in the public interest. I am disputing the edit's removal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justthefacts404 (talk • contribs) 14:44, June 29, 2020 (UTC)
- As I said in my edit summary, there's other issues beyond verifiability and sourcing. I don't think it's neutral. I think you're taking something that could be neutral and, by addressing it in a WP:CONTROVERSYSECTION, you're addressing it as an attack on the subject. If you want to contest my reversion, do so on the article's talk page to develop a WP:CONSENSUS on whether or not that material should be included. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:05, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Justthefacts404, you've now had two editors disagree with your addition. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:06, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for telling me not to delete my own section and not blocking me without warning like some other people did. I did not know that you shoould not delete questions on talk pages, even if they are made by you. I will not do that from know on. :) Plus, I was going to undo it anyway and you did it for me! Ilh758 (talk) 06:46, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Ilh758, you were blocked? That sounds excessive. You're new, so there's lots of rules and regs here that you probably don't know yet. One of them is to not remove talk page posts made by others. That section will be archived, eventually. Feel free to ask me any other questions. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:38, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Muboshgu, My IP was blocked by Berean Hunter right after I removed the post. They did not give me a warning and there was no reason given in the block notice. I tried contacting them but they did not answer. Can you help me? Ilh758 (talk) 17:44, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – July 2020
News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2020).
- A request for comment is in progress to remove the T2 (template that misrepresents established policy) speedy deletion criterion.
- Protection templates on mainspace pages are now automatically added by User:MusikBot II (BRFA).
- Following the banning of an editor by the WMF last year, the Arbitration Committee resolved to hold an
RfC regarding on-wiki harassment
. The RfC has been posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Anti-harassment RfC and is open to comments from the community. - The Medicine case was closed, with a remedy authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for
all discussions about pharmaceutical drug prices and pricing and for edits adding, changing, or removing pharmaceutical drug prices or pricing from articles

- Following the banning of an editor by the WMF last year, the Arbitration Committee resolved to hold an
Undeletion for Miniminter
Hello, I, Andrew012p made a request for the page miniminter (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Miniminter) to be restored because someone has deleted the real page. You wrote something about the history page but I don't see how that implies to the restoration. What is happening? Can you please restore the real page? Thank you. Andrew012p (talk) 08:37, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- Andrew012p, I did restore it. But, that didn't overwrite the current version. Click on the "History" tab and look at the old versions of the page in the article history. The data is there. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:36, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
Andrew012p (talk) 15:56, 2 July 2020 (UTC) Oh okay thanks. I guess what I was referring too was the fact that it doesn't show when I type "Miniminter wiki" on google and when I create the page it says "You can't write on it because an administrator can only edit it. It's protected. What do I do now? Sorry if I'm bothering, I'm new to this.
- Andrew012p, I can't speak to what happens through Google. I don't think draft pages index in Google search results. The page is at Draft:Miniminter. When you're on that page, click the "View History" tab on the top right and it will show you all of the past versions of the page. You'll have to click through them to find anything in the page's history that you want. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:30, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
WikiCup 2020 July newsletter
The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.
Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hello – could you restore the deleted page Kaleigh Riehl, perhaps as draft? She now satisfies WP:NFOOTY. Thanks! Seany91 (talk) 15:53, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Carter Page
The sentence on the Carter Page page is materially incorrect. It must be changed. Similar errors were NOT found by Horowitz. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D33pState2020 (talk • contribs) 16:10, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- D33pState2020, no, it's correct. The Washington Times is a biased source that is not accurate. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:13, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
You're wrong. It's a "biased" source that is correct. I've attached the support the FBI filed, in addition to another "biased" source summarizing the source document. One "material error" was found that was determined not to change the conclusions of the case.
Clearly the Carter Page warrants were uniquely fraudulent. The statement MUST be changed.
thanks
for keeping an eye on the tammy duckworth article. keep up the good work!
