attack pagesEdit
this is an attack page and falls under the speedy deletion criteria. Why bother wasting editors time with a ridiculous afd? Praxidicae (talk) 20:11, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- There is currently a discussion, with comments; I'd therefore like to wait a little more about what other people say. We can still close the RfD early, in 2-3 days...--Eptalon (talk) 20:16, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- In any other circumstance I would understand but this is a blatant attack page about living persons who are not even notable and should be deleted immediately. Praxidicae (talk) 20:26, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- looking in google, I see SEWP first, which is a pretty clear indication on Notability, then the Reddit page. Also, look at the RfD - I haven't seen a 'keep' yet. If things stay as they are now, this can be closed early, in 2-3 days. --Eptalon (talk) 20:31, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

I do not see where the 'attack page' logic is. --Eptalon (talk) 20:34, 18 January 2020 (UTC)- Did you bother to read any of the edit summaries? I'm not going to repeat them. Look at the history of the one you reverted and this. It's absolutely absurd. And I don't care what anyone sees on google, the fact that it's simple only should tell you it's not notable but I'm not here to argue that. This is against policy and requires speedy deletion as it's an outright attack page and violates every single policy. Praxidicae (talk) 20:37, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- That could be handled via Revision Delete, which leaves the question as to whether this is a valid redirect. Which in my opinion is not, but since another Admin is already reviewing this I will let them make that call. -- Enfcer (talk) 20:40, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- The fact that absolutely no one here is capable of spotting very blatant and obvious vandalism is beyond concerning and feeds the trolls. It would be like me redirecting Encfer in mainspace because you pissed me off on a Facebook comment thread. I guess the policy on attack pages doesn't apply here.

Hello, this page and the rest I QD today as A3. I know the page creator is in good faith and tried some simplification. It was not till after the QD more of the texts are simplified.

Revdel action on Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2020/Filmfx studioEdit
The three revisions on the above page were indeed disruptive to the RfD process, but I do not think they meet the standard of disruption as suggested by RD3, which listed "grossly inappropriate threats or attacks" as an example, and also specifically indicated that "normal spam links" do not qualify for RD3. In addition, removing these diffs from public view may make it more difficult for future editors to cite evidence from the RfD when it comes to self-promotion of Filmfx studio.
Please reconsider the revdel action. Chenzw Talk 02:56, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- I deleted the two revisions from the log because they contain an email address;note: I did not oversight, so as an admin, you are still able to view the revision. Also: closing an RfD (deciding whether the article should be kept or dleeted) is the task of an administrator, and not that of a named editor, who is likely a signle-purpose account. --Eptalon (talk) 08:15, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Mr. WikipedianEdit
I have been inspired by your years of work here. For someone to be this dedicated to a small community like ours, you really are a rare gem of this community.

In regard to all this, I feel honored to be able to give you this star. Thank you so much for all the work you have done here.

hi.
no , we havent this article in en.wiki . i am translate from chinese.
The original article is in Chinese language and is still being completed. Please help me correct it when finished. What exactly meaning of Wikify? pls explain me. Unfortunately, all references are Chinese. Please wait until I translate the article completely, then try to find English sources. thank you so much.Alexisssa (talk) 10:50, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Look at a page such as Khalistan movement, and how the article is formatted. The main keyword (Khalistan movement) is in bold typeface. The references in the source use <ref>{{cite web ...}}</ref> tags. But first finish translating, and then we look at it again. --Eptalon (talk) 11:01, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello i finished translating the article. I tried to be without problems but it needs to be refined and simplified. The article contains interesting and very important material from Chinese history that contains very valuable material and I have translated from Chinese into English.

Redirect of Constance baker motleyEdit
Hi, I was wondering what the point is of having a redirect with lowercase letters, is this usually the practice here? I was debating whether to leave it or to request QD, since I didn't know what is usually done around here. Reception123 (talk) 06:27, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Reception123: Redirects are cheap aside, which is per en, the redirect may be useful when someone typed the letters wrongly (in the wrong case) and we expect some of these here as not all users are proficient in English here. I think let's leave it per now. Anyway it had been declined once as a QD, you have to RFD it if you think is needed. Regards,--Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 06:37, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Camouflaged Mirage: Thank you for the answer, I was not requesting another QD I was just wondering what the policy is on redirects in order to follow it in the future. Reception123 (talk) 06:39, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Suheil al-HassanEdit
Hi, I was just wondering why you decided to keep the article, since it seems to me to just be a copy/paste from enwiki. I'd like to know so I can keep the rule in mind for future QDs. Reception123 (talk) 19:04, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- The article exists in several other Wikipedias, so there's at least a claim to notability. Yes, I agree that it could be simplified, and probably needs sources. Given we at least have 'a claim' to notability rules out quick deletion. Yes I agree: It lacks sources, and could probably be simplified. If you think it should be deleted, go through the regular RfD process.--Eptalon (talk) 19:10, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, so in the future if there is a similar article created (i.e. same as on en-wiki), I should add attribution rather than request quick deletion? Reception123 (talk) 19:11, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- If there's a claim to notability, and you think its too weak, go through regular RfD. Add a link to the EnWP article, if it exists. Otherwise: as I did, add the respective templates: {{complex}}, {{no sources}} or similar. And ofc add the link to Wikidata, if it isn't there yet.--Eptalon (talk) 19:15, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

lc66Edit
Is there any reason for the decline of the qd here? I tagged it because the page was created by LC600 who is globally locked. Computer Fizz (talk) 23:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- QD restored: providing reasons for admin actions is not optional. Still interested in hearing from you though :) Computer Fizz (talk) 02:35, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Computer Fizz: I have re-declined the QD. It is not always necessary to delete pages created by globally locked users, especially user and user talk pages. When you're tagging pages created by such users, it would be better to leave the user and user talk pages alone unless there's some other reason to delete them. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:23, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Auntof6: Thanks for the info. But let me explain my rationales:
- 1) It feels offbeat for me to leave it up the state created by an LTA. Of course this acceptable in cases like GRP capitalizing the word March, but I don't see any reason here. Which is why I suggest replacing it with a sock/blocked user template.
- 2) Even if the QD is declined, that still doesn't justify to rollback the QD, and then make matters even worse by not replying to my statement on his talk page.
- Is this a reasonable solution? Computer Fizz (talk) 04:10, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- We don't have a QD option to delete pages created by a locked/blocked editor so your QD wasn't appropriate. Whether it should have been rolled back or not it definitely should have been declined and removed as it was a completely invalid request. As for not engaging with you everyone is a volunteer and may not respond in a timely manor. Secondly, readding the QD template after it has been declined by an admin is disruptive editing and could lead to a block. So really think about what you are arguing here. -DJSasso (talk) 11:56, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

notabilityEdit
Hi there. If an admin of Wikipedia deletes article because it doesn't claim notability.. What it mean? And how to claim notability? Syedfalak (talk) 16:43, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- It basically means: Other (independent) sources talk about the person, company, event... - There's a writeup at Wikipedia:Notability that gives the details. --Eptalon (talk) 17:08, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your prompt response. As I've gotten articles on many publications websites and i want biography page on Wikipedia. I've tried to create Wikipedia page but unfortunately it got rejected. Can you please help me to create a biography page about me? Syedfalak (talk) 23:20, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
restoration requestEdit
Hi. Recently someone delete a page which i published yesterday.. And i don't know the exact reason but it's my request to restore it temporarily (if you cannot restore it permanently) because i want social media verification and i sent that link to social media verification form the verification request is still pending if the page is delete and they review the link they'll reject my verification request and it'll be very painful for me.. if you please restore that page for a week I'll be very thankful to you.. Here is the link: https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delightful_Islamabadians Syedfalak (talk) 09:26, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Syedfalak: That page was deleted because it did not meet Wikipedia's requirements for showing notability. Also please note:
- Wikipedia is not social media. It is an online encyclopedia.
- Wikipedia is not to be used for temporary articles needed for outside verification.
- Since you are closely associated with the company that the article was about, you should probably not create the article yourself. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for more information on this.
- If you want to pursue this, I recommend making the request at WP:AN. However, I don't think the article would be restored. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:17, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
@Auntof6: As you said I'm closely associated with the company and i cannot create the article. So is there any other way to create article about my company? Syedfalak (talk) 20:26, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Syedfalak: Wait for someone else to create the article. If a company is really notable, people will create in due course. Or else write a draft and allow someone else to move it to article space (preferably an admin). Regards,--Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 15:46, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
@Camouflaged Mirage: Thanks for your prompt response.. How to write a draft? And how to allow someone else to move it to article space? Kindly briefly explain this.. Thank & Regards. Syedfalak (talk) 20:53, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Syedfalak: Create it in User:Syedfalak/draft. Thanks. When done, post to WP:ST for review, disclosing your paid status. --Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 16:32, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Eptalon, for not doing a speedy deletion and providing the opportunity for cleanup, This was my first article so please find below justification.
1. I've changed the occupation from Hacker to Information Security which fits more better, the article is not borderline notable.
Would request if you can move this article to main space. Aside the article has a proper references with citation. Please let me know if any further clarification is required.

Hello!Edit
Hello Eptalon! Are you an admin here on Simple English Wikipedia? --Technoquat (Simple English) (talk) 20:10, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I am; I am also bureaucrat, CheckUser, and Oversighter. I would however suggest you use the "Email user" function, to not reveal deatails that not everyone should be able to read. --Eptalon (talk) 20:17, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, great. My name is Technoquat. I am new to Simple English Wikipedia. I was active on the normal Wikipedia, but I was subject to a 'community ban' after a persistant trolling campaign in the early 2010s. My community ban disclosure is here. I have turned over a new leaf and now I am not a troll or a vandal. I hope to build an encyclopedia here.
- Will Simple English Wikipedia accept an ex-offender? --Technoquat (Simple English) (talk) 20:41, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hello there, and that you for being so open about your past (which is long past, if that was the only offence). Like most other wikis, we judge people on what they do, so: Try making constructive edits, and don't spend time in endless discussions. If as you say, you want to start anew: be welcome. Note however: This community is much smaller than EnWP. So unless you start using multiple accounts in bad ways ("socking"), or doing other things that usually get you blocked/banned, you get a new chance here. Also note, that if anyone finds you doing the things that got you blocked on EnWP 8 years ago, we will be swift to react. In short: have fun editing here, and avoid doing stuff that gets you blocked. --Eptalon (talk) 20:56, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

The winner this Translation of the week is Please be bold and help to translation this article! _protective_mask,_Oude_Pekela_(2020)_01.jpg) A cloth facemask is a mask made of common textiles worn over the mouth and nose. Unlike surgical masks and respirators such as N95 masks, they are not subject to regulation, and there is currently little research or guidance on their effectiveness as a protective measure against infectious disease transmission or particulate air pollution. They were routinely used by healthcare workers from the mid 19th century until the mid 20th century. In the 1960s they fell out of use in the developed world in favor of modern surgical masks, but their use has persisted in developing countries. During the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, their use in developed countries was revived as a last resort due to shortages of surgical masks and respirators.

Quick DeletionEdit
Hello Eptalon, can you please share your reasons as to why you quick deleted the page? The page meets all the criteria. The reason I recreated the deleted page was the issues in the write up and citations of the previous one, and a lot of irrelevant details and references were used. This page uses all the relevant information only and doesn't fail any wiki criteria. Why would you still ask to delete it? Thank you for your input. Falixx (talk) 20:03, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Half a week ago, I took the decision to delete the page; see the RfD discussion. Less than a week later, you re-create the page, with very similar content. So I quick deleted it under A4("recreation with the same or similar content"). Given the deletion discussion happened less than two weeks ago, there's no reason for discussion,little will have changed. If you think the page should not have been deleted (referring to the RfD), please add a request to the deletion review page.--Eptalon (talk) 20:18, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back. If similar content is the issue, we can change that, can't we? Can I add a request deletion review with unique content? Falixx (talk) 20:36, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello Eptalon this is concerning your deletion request for the article Revelation 13:18 I submitted a revised draft of the article thinking it met wiki reliable source guidelines from the researched feedback given on the article from the community. When you did a speedy delete you noted it was promotional so the article was edited to met wiki guidelines and rewriting at am encyclopedic form and resubmitted. The article is not spam I tried to fix the errors in the article and resubmitted. Please don't penalize my submission for being a novice on Wikipedia. Can you quick delete the article instead of having it go through this process Thanks-- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.167.116.18 (talk • contribs)
- Hello, his is exactly the reason I didnt quick dleete the article again, but that I sought community input. You'll see that the same day I also nominated a signer/songwrter from Uganda, and an Italian fashiondesigner. I will likely not be the one who closes these nominations (its good tone not to); anyway, you got a week to convince the community that the rapper is indeed notable, and that he deserves an article here.

The winner this Translation of the week is Please be bold and help to translation this article!  Garúa is a Spanish word meaning drizzle or mist. Although used in other contexts in the Spanish-speaking world, garúa most importantly refers to the moist cold fog that blankets the coasts of Peru and northern Chile, especially during the southern hemisphere winter. Garúa is called Camanchaca in Chile. Garúa brings mild temperatures and high humidity to a tropical coastal desert. It also provides moisture from fog and mist to a nearly-rainless region and permits the existence of vegetated fog oases, called lomas. While fog and drizzle are common in many coastal areas around the world, the prevalence and persistence of garúa and its impact on climate and the environment make it unique (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

Forgive me if this is probably the incorrect channel and would appreciate if you could point me towards the right direction where these requests may be appropriate. When you get a chance, would it be possible for you to look into whether Meena Beaney and ImranMohammedAli are somehow related/using the same IP?

I'm intrigued over Madison Taylor BaezEdit
I flagged it as a copyright violation. The same article is in draft unless already deleted on en WP. The creating editor contested the deletion, and the procedure here is to turn it into a deletion discussion. Now I'm fine with that, but perplexed. Does Simple WP not have the same rigour over removal of copyvios as en WP?
I'm always happy to learn. Timtrent (talk) 09:33, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
- I didn't do an in-depth analysis of her site, but at first glace, I don't see a copyright violation. So the standard procedure is the same as with other contested deletions: go through a regular RfD. Please onte: I nominated the article, so I won't be the person closing the request. If other admins see the copyright violation, they may close the RfD early. --Eptalon (talk) 09:43, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

About quick deletion of article "Muserk"Edit
Hello,
I found an article "Muserk" was deleted at sudden, because you said it was against Wiki policy. The reason why I made this article is that it related with copyright. As long as you do not allow me, it is alright but you had better notice in advance. The article originally belongs to me, and thus I have an absolute copyright of the article, please send me back a copy of source text to my Talk page, then I will save it for my own usage only.
Thank you. --Green (talk) 00:28, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- I'll leave it up to Eptalon to decide if he wants to offer to userify this article for you to work on, but I want to clear something up: you said "the article originally belongs to me, and thus I have an absolute copyright of the article." This is false.

Comment
Thank you. It seems to me he decided the article in question as it was like an advertisement. Thus, before deleting the article, he should give me a time to store for it before deleting. Creative Commons License admits a right to stop license copyrighted materials by licensor.
What's more, "Muserk" is a copyright management company, which has an agreenment with JASRAC. Please see this news: https://www.jasrac.or.jp/smt/release/20/2004_2.html ASCAP remains as article in both EN-Wiki and Simple-Wiki. In spite of this fact, "Muserk" was deleted. You see ? It is not quite fair policy at all. --Green (talk) 16:52, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hello, I should tell that Muserk is an entity such as JASRAC to manage copyrights, that deeply concerns in music industry. That is why there is notable to inform many people in an encyclopedia. According to your logic, an article "Sony Corp." should be deleted at once. This is my view. --Green (talk) 23:33, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Question from outsideEdit
Hi Eptalon I am admin at swwiki. I write to you because of a remark you made a while ago at meta:Requests_for_comment/Activity_levels_of_advanced_administrative_rights_holders. At swwiki we start to discuss once more our admin list. You proposed back then to look at "admin actions". How do you do that? Is there a specific lookup method or do you count these "by hand"?

prior to changed to before on 1886 Charleston earthquakeEdit
Prior to was changed to before on the page 1886 Charleston earthquake. For what reason? Angela Kate Maureen 18:50, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- I thought it would be easier to understand,with roughly the same meaning. If that is not the case undo my edit (remember:English is not my mothertongue)
- (talk page stalker) @Tropical Storm Angela: I agree with Eptalon that "before" is simpler than "prior to". --IWI (talk) 18:59, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Tropical Storm Angela: I also agree. Angela, you've asked this kind of question many times. You could often find the answer by checking Wikipedia:Basic English combined wordlist. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:14, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

The winner this Translation of the week is Please be bold and help to translation this article!  The Tepexpan Man is a Pre-Columbian-era woman skeleton, discovered by archaeologist Helmut de Terra in February 1947, on the shores of the former Lake Texcoco in central Mexico. The skeleton was found near mammoth remains and thought to be at least 10,000 years old. It was fancifully hailed by Time magazine as the oldest Mexican soldier. The skeleton was found lying face down with the arms under the chest and the legs drawn up to the stomach. The body most likely sunk into the mud surrounding it, leaving the shoulder, back, and hips exposed, which might explain why those elements are missing. It is possible that the body was originally deposited in the lake.
