Congratulations

Congratulations! With 10,336 views, your Hideaway (U.S. Senate) hook is one of the most viewed hooks for the month of December. Accordingly, it has been included at DYKSTATS December. Even more impressive given that it appeared in a 12-hour queue and was not in the lead/photo slot. Keep up the good work! Cbl62 (talk) 20:33, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up, Cbl62! To tell you the truth, I'd totally forgot about that one. Chetsford (talk) 07:27, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chad Wolf

Thanks for closing the RfC at Talk:Chad_Wolf#RfC:_Describing_legal_status_in_lead. Can I ask why you selected option A1? I don't believe any participants in the RfC selected option A. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 02:55, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my goodness, that's embarrassing! It was a copy/paste error by me - I've fixed it in the close. Thanks for calling it out, AleatoryPonderings. Chetsford (talk) 07:55, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all—thanks for the fix :) Cheers, AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 16:53, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

December 2020: Vandal is confused

I'm confused. Since you're an admin, why are you reporting me rather than just issuing a block yourself? 81.100.37.20 (talk) 20:49, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The first instance of vandalism I noticed was on an article in which I was involved. Since the examples of vandalism originating from your address are so aberrant that enough ambiguity exists that they couldn't - in my opinion - be described as "blatant" vandalism, I'm restrained from taking any action myself under WP:UNINVOLVED. Chetsford (talk) 21:05, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - This was undoubtedly because the admin in question neglected to provide a notification on my talk page, but you apparently failed to notice that two of the three edits you listed had already incurred a three-day long block which just expired today. 81.100.37.20 (talk) 21:13, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - I am now in control of all things. Chetsford (talk) 21:44, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the IPVandal comment from AIV to your Talk

I knew it would cause more confusion than it cured. Worse, I seem to have broken the user-reported vandal section's markup...--Quisqualis (talk) 22:01, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, Quisqualis! Chetsford (talk) 23:39, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chetsford Greetings I came to know that the page I have created had been deleted by you, I am not satisfied with the reason you gave because it had been clearly stated in Wikipedia that I shouldn’t write an article with exaggeration, so cut short everything then only I submitted.I kindly request you to review it once again.If it is not satisfied then leave a message in my talk page. Grover no 1 (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grover no 1 (talk • contribs) 04:06, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Grover no 1, thanks for your message. As requested, I have reviewed Aashid. I decline to undo the deletion as I believe it meets the WP:A7 criteria for speedy deletion. You are welcome to appeal this at WP:DRV. Chetsford (talk) 04:26, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Chetsford I have some other citations to prove that the subject in the article has some significance but it is listed that I shouldn’t write something that is promotional.What can I do should I rewrite it once again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grover no 1 (talk • contribs) 05:05, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to submit it to WP:AFC. Chetsford (talk) 05:29, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
