change@Chenzw: I believe my edit was constructive. I was just trying to say he was appointed by Warren Harding. Which is true. It is helpful as Woodrow Wilson was president for a brief time in ‘21, so it was helpful.
Regards,
Intellectual Dark Web
changeI noticed you deleted the page on the Intellectual Dark Web. I am not challenging that decision though I would like to know what the specific reasons for it ultimately were. I created the page in question and based on what transpired immediately thereafter it seems that I was wrong to do so. Like all of us , I am certain to make certain mistakes along the way and having made one here I would greatly appreciate if you were to explain what mine was such that I could avoid making similar mistakes in the future.
Thank you 198.200.115.29 (talk) 03:57, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- The reasons are as specified by the nominator and participants in that RfD. As a closing administrator, our job is to evaluate the consensus (that are informed by relevant policy) of the RfD. Chenzw Talk 04:02, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
As I understood it when the Discussion emerged I argued in favour of keeping it while another editor used the lack of external links to justify deletion. I then incorporated links to articles in Vox, Medium, The New York Times, The National Review, The Foundation for The Economic Education, Quillette and the Observer which had variety of conflicting options about the Intellectual Dark Web and links to the podcast episode wherein the term was coined as well as a link to the episode of the Rubin Report wherein Dave Rubin embraced the term Intellectual Dark Web as a proud member thereof. As a kid result of an error on my part each link was classified as if it were a separate category rather than as an external link so an editor using the name Gotunda reverted the edit. An editor using the name DougHill then argued in favour of the inclusion of the article on the grounds that having read the sources to which the links were it seemed that though their prior incorporation had been badly executed they were the links to the relevant sources. So as I understand it, I voted for inclusion, which as I understand it I am allowed to do, an editor named Eplaton voted for Deletion and an editor named DougHill voted for inclusion. It would help if you could clarify how precisely the consensus emerged in favour of deletion. Thank you 198.200.115.29 (talk) 16:20, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

changeI'm sorry, I'm wasting your time, dear manager, what should be done to create small categories? Please help me. Thank you.Tatalooii (talk) 07:10, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Query
changeHi Chenzw , recently i created an article about an Indian Actress Anushka Sen . BUt you deletes that on the basis of the notability . I would request you to please consider about searching for that ctress personally , then you may realize that there is no notability issue . Is there any way to get that article back ? 5477vinadi (talk) 05:36, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- My closing of the RfD is informed by consensus in the discussion. Editors have already indicated that there is a lack of significant, independent coverage of the person in reliable sources. Please refer to en:WP:CREATIVE for more information on the notability guidelines. To appeal the deletion result, please go to Wikipedia:Deletion review. Chenzw Talk 08:36, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Breakfast at Tiffany's Edit
changeThis bit reverted my changes that are not vandalism. My changes to Meaning of Title: Holly suffers from bouts of anxiety (the "mean reds"), and finds spending time at Tiffany & Co. calming. She feels time"nothing very bad" can happen to a person in such elegant surroundings. Though she clearly aspires to own beautiful and expensive things, it also seems she yearns for the sense of stability and protection she associates with wealth. She sometimes gets a breakfast pastry in the morning and takes it with her to look in the store. When she spends a day with Paul, she takes him to Tiffany & Co., so they can look at all the fine jewelry, and he can experience one of her favorite places.
