Susanna Ng

Hi Vaticidalprophet. Thank you for deprodding the Susanna Ng page. After that, I added more citations and information. However, the article is now on an AfD discussion. I created the page during the Women In Red Women In Asia contest and I believe the article can and should be expanded. As you pointed out, most of the coverage must be in Asian outlets. I don't speak Cantonese or Mandarin though. I would greatly appreciate if you weighed in on this one. Thanks! TanookiKoopa (talk) 13:17, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

​Thanks for the heads-up. I'm currently staying away from AfD (barring ones I already made or any nominations that get made for pages I heavily edited) for personal reasons. This is a statement I'm not sure I'd make another time, but have you considered contacting the Article Rescue Squadron? They're a controversial group and I frequently disagree with them even as someone with inclusionist leanings, but they're certainly dedicated to finding sources that might otherwise go unnoticed. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 18:13, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

​ I can see where you're coming from. Thank you for what you've already done for the page and for pointing out the Rescue Squadron to me. I'll look into it. See you around! TanookiKoopa (talk) 00:10, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Unaccepted pending change to October 9

I reverted your acceptance of this change to October 9. Additions to days of the year pages must include citations to reliable sources, and the IP didn't cite one for Verdi's birthday. You can see the requirement if you look at the edit notice for those pages, the the content guideline and / or the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide.

Ha -- thanks, actually, @BlackcurrantTea. I clicked the wrong button. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 10:21, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Page mover granted

Hello, Vaticidalprophet. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Anarchyte (talk • work) 08:54, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Use of pending changes in Wikipedia:Requested articles/Business and economics

Now, to clarify, this is not a hard and fast rule or policy, it is just a request: Please try and enforce the rules for requests at the top of the page when accepting an edit. I have declined/reverted the edit you accepted due to it using only PR sources, a self hosted source, and a single reliable source that does not present notability (Australian Gov.'s business database).

Thanks! —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 19:40, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

​Thanks for the pointer. I tend to be relatively conservative about RAs as I actually do a lot of work in that area and get frustrated by the useless ones, but in this case it's actually a business I have some experience with, so leaned towards the side of "Yeah, honestly, I could see this having an article".

Hi Can You Please Closed Requested Move Discussion At North Waziristan And South Waziristan, Since 2+ Week's Discussion is Still Ongoing Now I Think it Should Be Closed. Ytpks896 (talk) 09:58, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for asking. The conversations were relisted a few days ago, which means they can't be closed yet -- an article needs to go a full week after a relist before being closed. They'll be eligible for closing in a couple days, and someone will be around to close them then. Vaticidalprophet 10:00, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Psst... There is no need to wait for a full week to close after a RM was relisted per Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Relisting. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 14:55, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Fair enough, but I treat it as the safest option anyway for a number of reasons, especially for a NAC. I'd be pretty hesitant to close before a week anything that was reasonably relisted, especially if it hadn't had much participation after. Vaticidalprophet 14:59, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Attempts to delete Human Face (mathematical artwork)

Dear Vaticidalprophet, User:Onel5969 has emptied Human Face (mathematical artwork) without creating a discussion. Can it be considered as a violation of Wikipedia's deletion policy? As I see User:Onel5969 is in a hurry to delete a number of pages. The Big Cowboy (talk) 17:29, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

@The Big Cowboy Converting an article to a redirect without discussion is allowed. However, reverting that is equally allowed, meaning it's within your rights to undo the redirect. This would usually result in the article being brought to AfD (Articles for Deletion) for further discussion, or to a discussion on the talk page explaining the reasoning. Vaticidalprophet 22:24, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

That Afd nomination for Adolf You-know-who was courageous and well done, Vaticidalprophet, thank you. A nice example of how an AfD that starts well, ends well. Thumbs up! --Pgallert (talk) 06:56, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll save it for when you have people up and working on things. :) I've got all sorts of stuff, from near-GAs, things that got kept at AFD, things we found sources for after AFD, stubs with good sources for lots of potential, etc. BOZ (talk) 03:27, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Now, if I was going to start with a suggestion, it would actually be something that might surprise some people who know me from things like tabletop games and comics. :) I have spent a fair bit of my off-wiki time on genealogy and cemeteries, so I would request interested parties to make some progress on one of these historic cemeteries that I have visited and/or have relatives in: Bohemian National Cemetery (Chicago), Graceland Cemetery, Oak Woods Cemetery, Rosehill Cemetery, Burr Oak Cemetery, Forest Home Cemetery (Forest Park), Mount Carmel Cemetery (Hillside, Illinois), or alternatively the purportedly haunted abandoned Bachelor's Grove Cemetery. :) BOZ (talk) 13:20, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I forgot the whole reason I mentioned those in the first place... Wikipedia:WikiProject Cemeteries is brand new as of last month, and they do not have any articles higher than A class yet. :) BOZ (talk) 22:06, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

​I have to admit I'm a little surprised to see a new wikiproject using A-class! Not negatively surprised -- I think the full rating scale's a bit underrated. (I think we should really be doing more as a project with article assessment in general; it's surprisingly useful in some understated ways for our work as essentially the archivists of our age.) Vaticidalprophet 09:00, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

I know, right? It is a generally-underused rating - "better than a B, but not quite ready for GA" - but I imagine those articles were already A class under other wikiprojects and that just carried over. I am sure there are other cemetery articles that have reached GA or FA already but just have not been added to this new wikiproject yet. BOZ (talk) 12:14, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

I know Iridescent's talk page is watched by a lot of people interested in cemeteries -- may be a place to look? (I recall reading this recently archived convo.) A is a bit confusing because it's been used both as that and as a GA-FA intermediate, and I suspect any attempt to actually bring it to a wide audience would require solving that confusion (which is sort of inherent in the name, regardless). MILHIST are kind of its keepers, and they use it for the between-GA-and-FA position. Vaticidalprophet 12:18, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Word up

Thanks for teaching me "vaticide" is a thing! InedibleHulk (talk) 23:57, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

I quite like your username too :) Vaticidalprophet 04:50, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. In case it's unclear (and history suggests it is), that's not a nod to the big grey/green guy, but to the red and yellow. "The Incredible" was easily his least famous and most ambiguous nickname, but it's very hard to rhyme a word like "Immortal", "Hollywood" or "Hogan". Especially without suggesting I'm actually immoral, from Bollywood or named Logan. This way, it's not exactly "ha-ha funny", but still a bit "funny because it's true". At least, I can't believe I'll ever be eaten. On the other hand, that's probably what everyone who was eaten didn't think would happen to them. Anyway, good luck with your possibly paradoxical setup, brother! InedibleHulk (talk) 04:53, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion does not apply to drafts?

Hi, I noticed you removed a PROD that I put on Draft:Camille Labchuk last month. You said PROD does not apply to drafts. But I followed the instructions at Wikipedia:Proposed deletion (drafts), copying and pasting the exact draft-prod tag for a draft that appears to not have been edited in over 6 months. So I can understand the rules for the future, could you please explain to me why you then said drafts cannot be prodded when there's a page that indicates that? Or if prod does apply to drafts Wikipedia:Proposed deletion (drafts), can you revert your edit? Cryssalis (talk) 18:49, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@Cryssalis, PROD does not apply to drafts. Note that at the top of your link, it says "This is a failed proposal". There was a proposal to extend PROD to cover drafts, which failed; it does not cover them. Vaticidalprophet 18:58, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@Vaticidalprophet Much thanks for the quick reply and explanation Cryssalis (talk) 19:07, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jennifer Bendery

Keep it. "Jennifer Bendery" gets 1,036 hits on the ProQuest U.S. Newsstream ddb. When citing her, especially for articles related to public policy, it is good to know who she is, IMHO. I added a citation from Marquis Who's Who, not to establish notability, but rather to quickly identify her. — Eurodog (talk) 23:11, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

If you feel like deprodding something I prod, feel free to remove the tag. I'm not out optimizing for number of deletions; if someone wants an article kept, and I don't think it's a particularly terrible violation of anything, I don't chase it up. I continue to have serious qualms about heavily vandalized BLP stubs, but you did fix the stub part, which is pretty good. Vaticidalprophet 03:22, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

The Super League

You closed Talk:The Super League#Requested move 19 April 2021 as moved but you didn't actually move it, you only moved the target disambiguation out of the way. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:06, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

@PrimeHunter, that's because it's sysop move-protected and I didn't notice until closing the RM. I have a request in at WP:RM/TR, and considering this happens quite frequently, a message at VPR about preventing further incidents. Vaticidalprophet 10:08, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Closed but not moved

Hi, you closed Talk:The Super League#Requested move 19 April 2021 as "moved to European Super League", but the article hasn't been moved. Would you be able to revisit and move it? Joseph2302 (talk) 10:23, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

@Joseph2302, the message immediately above yours is about this issue. See WP:RM/TR for the technical issue I've faced and WP:VPR#Make page movers eligible to move move-protected pages for the hopeful solution to ensure this doesn't happen yet again, because it happens several times an average week. For what it's worth, otherwise-involved admins are permitted to perform the technical act of moving over protection when the RM has been closed by a page mover, so @PrimeHunter, who sent the last message and appears to be an admin, may be able to shorten our wait times. Vaticidalprophet 10:48, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't see above thread. And I should have realised this was the case, as it was me that asked for move protection on the page... Joseph2302 (talk) 11:00, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Ha, it happens (both the former and latter clause). Apologies for any curtness, I'm just a bit worried about possibly getting eighteen of these before the technical move goes through. The VPR thread is probably a bit overdue, tbh -- PMR was introduced four years ago now, and a surprising number of pages are move-protected over long-historical disputes. Vaticidalprophet 11:02, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

As Iridescent once told me, "Or just take the plunge and request the full toolset". Admittedly, you wouldn't have a chance after four months' editing, but you've hit the ground running. (So much so, that if you can put up with people (like me!) throwing socking accusations around—because RfA is the one place on the entire project where one can not only make such comments without falling foul of the civility brigade but can double down on the accusation with impunity on the grounds that you are *protecting the encyclopedia*—I'd book a ringside seat for ~September. ——Serial 11:28, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
