Request successful...

Hello Ferien,

Don't be afraid to take unpopular decisions, as with every decisions you take some people will not like the way you decided. Anyway, congrats to the new "hat"...

Thank you Eptalon :) And I will certainly take your advice, as well as the comments that were made opposing my request. --Ferien (talk) 11:29, 27 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Ferien WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023. 😎🤗🥳 YIEWI talk 18:23, 1 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi YIEWI, thanks for the message. I hope you are having a great 2023 so far! --Ferien (talk) 11:31, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Block on recent user

I appreciate your immediate action on a suddenly new-created account block but you could have particularly added the cause of the block "Bad name" along with "Vandalism-only account". Can you explain? Dibyojyotilet's chat 11:28, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi DRC-B5, that account had created a bad page at Noyyal River and I thought that that page along with the username showed the account was clearly not here to contribute and was a vandalism-only account. I could have added about a bad username in the block reason but that wasn't the only reason I blocked the account, it was a combination of the two issues. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 11:30, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Uh now that's make sense. You deleted the page which makes me confused about the person with bad name doesn't have the contributions and has been blocked because of Vandalism. Great work. Dibyojyotilet's chat 11:33, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Vandalism

hello, I want to report the vandalism that User Hoyanova is doing on the page Davide Lo Surdo. 91.80.12.159 (talk) 16:26, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

They simply added a delete tag but the article wasn't eligible for deletion under our quick deletion policy.That isn't vandalism, and it was only one edit that I had already reviewed. --Ferien (talk) 16:28, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
when i created the page, i asked to the [[User:InfernoGaming46]] if the page was good for Wikipedia and he told me yes.
Lo Surdo won an award and it does meet the notability criteria.
After this, the user fixed it with simple english. I suppose the page is good. 91.80.12.159 (talk) 16:31, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Please note that discussion here will not affect whether the page is deleted or not. All discussion regarding the subject's notability should be posted to the RfD, at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/Davide Lo Surdo. Thank you. --Ferien (talk) 16:38, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
User:Ferien I am sorry for disturb but i would like to ask you something.
i read the notability criteria “Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show” and lo surdo played on DBCNEWS which is a notable television program from Bangladesh [1] which it also has a page on en wikipedia.
does this meet the notability criteria? let me know so i will add it on his page. thanks in advance 91.80.0.39 (talk) 18:52, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
hello, it’s okay. i just added some new content about international tours now. could you kindly watch it and see if they are okay? Thanks 91.80.12.159 (talk) 16:48, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Evolution

OK, I'll step back from this page. It's open to you to get someone suitable from En wiki to review the page in question. I know the literature, and the last version I edited has nothing unusual in it, and is a sound account. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:01, 9 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Macdonald-ross, I'll review the edit again later on, but I believe that there were a couple of copyedits along with an unnecessary change from British to American English. I'll let you know what changes I'm considering keeping from that edit on the talk page. --Ferien (talk) 20:28, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
The only controversial edits I made on the page were spelling changes, mainly because there was not standardized British or American spelling on the page. Both were used, no preference was given anywhere.
All the other edits were simple copy edits for clarity, correctness, grammar, etc. I've never had any issues with my copy edits on the regular wiki. No content was changed or modified. 71.11.5.2 (talk) 21:04, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
71.11.5.2, most of your changes were retained. As far as I can tell, the article was mostly in British English before, and you generally changed it to American English. It should stay as British. Lights and freedom (talk) 21:48, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

User:Matthew Bugg

I know this user is already blocked, although the user started to abuse their own talk page so I listed up again for WP:VIP to request TPA removal. MathXplore (talk) 17:27, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sorry MathXplore, I should have noticed that. I've just revoked their talk page access. Thanks for letting me know. --Ferien (talk) 17:28, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Bot

hello @Ferien-san i have a bot that i want to run it on simplewiki; i use the bot to balance/add categories on articles corresponding with english wikipedia i've already used it on three projects (check its contributions) is it possible to get approval on simplewiki to perform some tasks? 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 19:40, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi Sakura emad, there has been a consensus in the past not to use bots to add categories on this project. However, if there are other tasks you want to run, you can post a request on WT:BOTS, to allow other bureaucrats to comment. Thanks :) --Ferien (talk) 21:11, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
oh i see, categorization was my only purpose, thanks ^_^ 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 22:00, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown

What happened at MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown? Why is there a redlink to an RfD for that page? Lights and freedom (talk) 18:38, 30 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

When an administrator is about to delete a page, these options all come up. There is a redlink to an RfD on that page because when an RfD closes with a consensus to delete, a dropdown option is given to delete because of an RfD. The current year has to be substituted as well as the RfD linked to the page of that name, (shown as {{FULLPAGENAME}}), that is why there is an RfD there saying Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown. --Ferien (talk) 18:44, 30 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I understand now. Lights and freedom (talk) 18:45, 30 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
