[1] Why not relist? SpinningSpark 15:14, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Spinningspark: That's fine too. I was hovering between the two, but I think since Jc37's remarks came so late, I think it's worth a relist. bibliomaniac15 18:41, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did something stupid a few years ago and didn't understand the consequences. I asked for help to create a page about something the police developed in the 1960s called Operation Identification. It's an important topic deserving of a place on Wikipedia. Would you consider allowing it to be posted? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Identification

Category:African Americans shot dead by law enforcement officers in the United States

I'm a bit concerned about the result of this CfD. The discussion regrettably didn't pick up on the fact that not all the articles in the category are actually about African-American people: Amadou Diallo was from Guinea and only arrived in the U.S. in his 20s; Ousmane Zongo was Burkinabé; Abdul Razak Ali Artan was Somali; perhaps others besides. It's of course possible that these people considered themselves African-American, but ordinarily the term refers to people born in the U.S., naturalised citizens, and/or people who've lived there a long time. I'm not objecting to your close of course, which clearly reflected the consensus, but the WP:MR guidance is insistent that these things be discussed with the closer first, and as I don't usually pay much attention to CfD your thoughts on the best course would be appreciated. Thanks, – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:28, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Arms & Hearts: Hey there, thanks for letting me know! This does seem like new information that wasn't discussed before, so I think that the best course of action would be to open up a new CFD, mentioning your rationale and the fact that you discussed this with me (so it isn't seen as a contentious reopening). If you want, I can also open up the CFD for you as a procedural matter. bibliomaniac15 18:24, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The category was a subcat of Category:African-American people and so the objection of Arms & Hearts applies to the placing Ousmane Zongo and Abdul Razak Ali Artan in this category under either name. An answer would be to create a parent such as Category:People of African descent shot dead by law enforcement officers in the United States, subcat of Category:People of African descent. (There is no Category:Black people: it was deleted at cfd in 2006.) Oculi (talk) 18:37, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks both. Yes, Oculi, that does complicate things – although, to complicate things further, aren't the above-named people African people rather than people of African descent? (There may still be others who are African-Canadian, Black British etc. though.) I'll go ahead with the new CfD and try and summarise the issues. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:01, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of my redirect

Hello. I recently created this redirect. However, as you can see, there is a typographical mistake in it. Nothing links to this redirect. So, could you delete this redirect? Veverve (talk) 05:35, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jc37: You'll need to give it time for the bot to make it through all of them. It was working on them as you sent me this message. They're all done now, as far as I can tell. bibliomaniac15 22:17, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh ok, great. Sometimes the bots get "stuck" (among other possible issues), so I thought I'd let you know just in case. Glad that there wasn't an issue. - jc37 00:41, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering if you missed the updated functions of JJMC89's bot for CFD. Try the Retain part of WP:CFDW; it even posts the Old CfD templates. We just have to follow the syntax requirements on that page. – Fayenatic London 22:45, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Confused about CfD

I noticed that you closed this discussion as delete on Sep 11. But 12 days later, the category still seems to exist (although it is nominated for speedy deletion by JPxG). I'm unfamiliar with CfD, so this confuses me. I know that with AfDs, an article link becomes red pretty soon after the discussion is closed as "delete". Any insights would be appreciated, thanks VR talk 17:14, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Candidates in Canadian elections

I wanted to ask you about your closure of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 November 2#Category:Christian Heritage Party of Canada candidates in the 1988 Canadian federal election, because you treated the two parent categories differently from each other on grounds where there wasn't actually a difference between them.

Specifically, you decided to keep Category:Christian Heritage Party of Canada candidates for the Canadian House of Commons on the grounds that it also had list overview articles like Christian Heritage Party of Canada candidates in the 1988 Canadian federal election — but if that's grounds for keeping that category, then Category:Co-operative Commonwealth Federation candidates for the Canadian House of Commons also has to be kept, because list overview articles like Co-operative Commonwealth Federation candidates in the 1940 Canadian federal election were present there too. So such lists can't be grounds for keeping one category but not the other, if both categories had them — either they both have to be kept on the grounds of the list articles that they both have, or they both have to be deleted regardless of the list articles. We can't treat them differently from each other on grounds that didn't actually make them any different from each other. Bearcat (talk) 18:45, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearcat: Thanks for pointing that out. On further investigation, the problem actually seems to be that the Commonwealth Federation candidate overview articles were actually never placed in Category:Co-operative Commonwealth Federation candidates for the Canadian House of Commons; they are only categorized in the "Candidates in the XXXX Canadian federal election" category tree. By contrast, the Christian Heritage party articles are in both trees. Unfortunately, when I closed the CFD, I only noticed that the Commonwealth Federation category had non-overview articles in it, so I had listed it for deletion. I will restore it and populate it in a similar fashion to Category:Christian Heritage Party of Canada candidates for the Canadian House of Commons (which needs to be purged of non-overview articles anyway). bibliomaniac15 23:12, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Dear Bibliomaniac15,

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here!

Komodo dragon

Hello, I was looking at the Komodo dragon article, which is at this point a very old FA. (It's currently on the list at URFA.) I was actually on the article looking for information about the distribution of the current population, and this feels an area that the article currently lacks. There's isolated notes about a couple of populations and the infobox map, but no section discussing it. A section covering this sort of info for example, would be great, incorporating perhaps that last current paragraph in the main Conservation section. Aside from that, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the quality of the article as it stands now, with relation to the FA criteria. There's some areas where the prose will need rewriting, but I am not sure if this is a large job or a small one. Thoughts welcome, and thank you of course for putting together this page back in the day. Best, CMD (talk) 08:10, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know! I think the article definitely shows its age, and there have been several parts that have been added over time, especially with regards to newer developments about venom. If I'm being honest, I've been kind of anticipating an audit of the article these past few years. Unfortunately, my activity has been rather low these past months (and probably through June as well) because of busyness IRL, so I'm not sure how much bandwidth I'll have. But I'll see what I can do on my spare time. Thanks so much for letting me know. bibliomaniac15 03:37, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Bibliomaniac15, I've had another look at this, and I'm afraid I've come to the conclusion that updating this article would be a large job, not a small one. I've added a summary of some issues on the article talkpage, and listed this as a formal URFA notification. Generally this leads to a formal review after two to three weeks if there is no action, but the timeframe isn't that important so let me know if it's something you would have time to work on. I actually wish I had time to work on this topic myself, but sadly I am also quite busy irl and already have a backlog of wiki to do items that I am not getting to. CMD (talk) 12:49, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I will be out of town this coming week with little Internet access so I won't be on Wikipedia at all. On the side, I've been compiling some research but it has been a long time since I've really touched the article too. Thanks so much for your review. I'll take a closer look when I get back. bibliomaniac15 17:08, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
