[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to 2001 NAVA State/Provincial Flag Survey. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability and image formatting. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 11:49, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Check Help:Pictures for some solutions to the image formatting - I'd probably use a centre-aligned {{multiple image}} in each section. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 11:54, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Postal Service v. Council of Greenburgh Civic Ass'ns

[edit]

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 Postal Service v. Council of Greenburgh Civic Ass'ns requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/united-states-postal-service-v-greenburgh-civic-associations/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of instances the U.S. flag has been flown at half-staff

[edit]

A tag has been placed on List of instances the U.S. flag has been flown at half-staff requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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. ~ Tails Wx (he/him, aroace, 🐾) 18:51, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

[edit]
Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Candidates.

Here is the schedule:

  • July 9–15 - Call for candidates
  • July 18–22 - Discussion phase
  • July 23–29 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

  • The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
  • Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
  • The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
  • The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
  • Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

You're receiving this message because you signed up for the mailing list. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the list.

One thing though: You might want to replace the sentences that say "Write your answer here". Aaron Liu (talk) 00:29, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would recommend against. I found it charming and easy to read, while leaving no room for attack. LordDiscord (talk) 01:03, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
ong they wrote absolutely nothing Aaron Liu (talk) 02:06, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What is the meaning of “ong”? LordDiscord (talk) 02:18, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They did not even write why they want to be an admin, that's the bare minimum imo Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 07:29, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cactusisme Please do not add critical messages about their candidacy to my supportive message. These belong more in a separate post or, really, the discussion page. RFA is stressful enough already. LordDiscord (talk) 10:50, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Are there reasons you have to support such an uncommunicative candidate? Aaron Liu (talk) 14:49, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As per consensus, I should not be commenting on the qualities of admin candidates. Apologies. LordDiscord (talk) 15:53, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, as mentioned, you have to list yourself at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Candidates to be a candidate. Aaron Liu (talk) 02:07, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Candidates/A.FLOCK

While that request for speedy deletion wasn't appropriate coming from somebody else, I do see where it comes from.
Have you read WP:advice for RfA candidates? In general, we expect people to have much much more experience before they have a chance of passing an RfA. If you want to start helping out in the more administrative parts of Wikipedia, I suggest you could start out at the counter-vandalism academy or patrol WP:recent changes.
If you decide not to run, you can ask for speedy deletion yourself by adding {{Db-self}} at the top of the page. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 12:05, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

[edit]
Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

The discussion phase of the July 2025 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • July 18–22 - Discussion phase (we are here)
  • July 23–29 - SecurePoll voting phase
  • July 30–c. Aug 3 - Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Discussion phase.

On July 23, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's totals during the election. You must be extended confirmed to vote.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last approximately four days, or perhaps a little longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (you may want to watchlist this page) and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and must also have received a minimum of 20 support votes. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Administrator Elections | Voting phase

[edit]
Administrator Elections | Voting phase

The voting phase of the July 2025 administrator elections has started and continues until July 29 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Voting phase.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • July 23–29 – Voting phase
  • July 30–c. Aug 3 – Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for approximately four days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").
