Hey,

Please review the deletion process because the page is about a famous human rights activist and writer, and I have included many links that prove this matter.

RFDs closed as keep

Are you going to remove the RFD template and add the {{Oldrfd}} to the RFDs you close as keep? Kk.urban (talk) 17:16, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Help!

Hey I created a page 'Derna' which is about a 'City in Libya' but in it's short description it shows 'river in Belarus'.

Can you tell me whats the problem or How can I change it/can you change it? Faraz Sualeh (talk · contribs) 04:10, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

fixed the infobox fr33kman 22:42, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Since I was here.. The Wikidata was pointed to the wrong article. I fixed that. I also moved the page the Derna, Libya and cleaned up the inbound links. None were to the river, but there was one to place in Romania. The main page should need to be either the most common name or a disambig page, but Ill leave that as a redirect for now. Pure Evil (talk) 23:45, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you... Faraz Sualeh (talk) 04:14, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks

Appreciate, but I have been in the position here already for a spell (as well as others) and have no interest in doing it again. There are only rare times it could be useful but I just toss those up for others (to often ignore.. but oh well, I did my part) Pure Evil (talk) 23:32, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Also, remember to remove the in progress template and the tags around it. That was one of the reasons the count was out of synch earlier. Thanks! -- Auntof6 (talk) 09:52, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Sure thing, my bad! :) fr33kman 16:51, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

What I meant is this: [1] as Ferien did, which only restored the revisions up to 08:25, 19 August 2023‎ and left out the vandalism (which seems to be all from one person under different IPs) and the reversions of this vandalism. Kk.urban (talk) 16:56, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Arrowsmith school

The article was being edited when you suddenly deleted it. The citations are from Google scholar making it WP:GNG and already has had an entry on other Wikis going back years. I don't know what you're doing. Serener (talk) 23:53, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

I didn't see anything that claimed it was notable. You must explain why it is notable, not just write about it. fr33kman 23:56, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

I put in citations as required and these are third party citations besides 2 from the founder itself. I ensured to keep out promotional stuff and had numerous citations arguing the opposite. How do you suddenly delete a fully cited article without discussion? It's beyond me.--Serener (talk) 00:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

You can add hundreds of citations without explaining HOW it is notable. Citations from the founder are not neutral and not reliable. What notable alumni has there been, what MAJOR awards has the school received. What has been written abut it in newspapers, journals, books, TV programmes etc... fr33kman fr33kman 00:09, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

This is a well-written article about a notable school. What you wrote was not. fr33kman 00:18, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

BTW: do not just copy and pste from enwiki to here. Read and follow WP:CW first. fr33kman 00:24, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

It really should be pointed out that Serener has been a contributor to the En. wiki article you point out is a well written article about a notable school (the school that is the subject of this article under construction). Their contributions to that article go back to 2019 with no administrative actions and only a welcome message on their talk page. Not coming across as a trouble maker. Pure Evil (talk) 00:49, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Never claimed they were a trouble maker, only that the article as it was made on this wiki did not meet A4. That's why I pointed it out to them and how to change it to fit our needs. fr33kman 01:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Which they said they were doing ("The article was being edited ") when you deleted it only 5 minutes after its creation (23:49, October 5, 2023 from 23:44, October 5, 2023). Just saying, you could have given them a little more time to address the issues. especially as it does seem they were not given the opportunity for a wait template between it being tagged, them being alerted to the issue and your deletion of the article. Pure Evil (talk) 02:09, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

There was no QD tag placed, I simply deleted it. There was no {{in progress}} template and the entire aricle was 90% about the founder and her life with no mention of anything claiming notability. If they were a major author of the enwiki article they could have brought it over in a much better format than the disorganised mess it was in. When I create an article I don't do it in bits and pieces, I keep working and pressing preview until I'm 90% happy with it. Then I save it. If an in progress template was placed this could all have been avoided. fr33kman 02:17, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

If you bothered looking at the sources, you'd see there is much more than the subject itself and the majority were secondary sources, mostly critical of the subject but from an academic perspective. Instead of messaging me or raising objections on the talk page or reading through the sources, you got trigger-happy and just deleted all that hardwork. It must be more fun hitting the deletion button than making an effort to bring up any legit objections -none of which there were if anyone bothered to check. No wonder Wikipedia has the reputation it does.--Serener (talk) 22:36, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words. fr33kman 22:43, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

What is the meaning of this? fr33kman 00:05, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

There are no title and text parameter on {{box}}. Maybe you should change it. ginaan(T/C) 00:22, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Why me? I don't use the template; not that I know of anyways. I'll look into it though. fr33kman 00:34, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Oh, now I understand what you meant:) Sorry for the misunderstanding. --ginaan(T/C) 00:45, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

I've compared it to the enwiki version and there seems to be no difference. I'm not an expert with wiki markup language so I'd ask someone else if I were you; perhaps eptalon, Vermont, or Auntof6. Or else ask someone from another project like dungodung etc... Good luck. :) fr33kman 00:46, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

The page in your user space was using the box template with two depreciated parameters. This caused the template to place the page in an error category and to not display the information at all. Being it is the page of an active user, rather than just fixing the issue, I informed you of what was causing both proplegs on your page as well as what was needed to be done to correct the error and display problem. Pure Evil (talk) 01:12, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Ah, now it makes more sense. I'll look into it. It's odd though how nobody had told me about it until now. I've had the same basic pages since 2008. Thx fr33kman 01:39, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok, I'm still not seeing what the problem is. Am I miss using the {{box}} template somewhere? Because I'm not seeing it. Can you please point out the exact problem? fr33kman 01:43, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Perhaps you could be so kind as to fix the problem and then show me the diff so I can understand the issue. Thxv:) fr33kman 01:54, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok, I've got it now. Thanks for pointing it out. Old brain just wasn't seeing what you meant. I've deleted the page now. fr33kman 02:04, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Thejo Kumari Amudala

I left a !vote on the AFD after I went through the sources and did some other digging. Biggest (not at all) shock was that the page was created on EN as well, multiple times, and always deleted as a G5 [2] with the creator being part of the Amansharma111 sock farm. I had also tagged Ujjawal Trivedi here as G11 (which you deleted and thank you!), but got to wondering and to no surprise, it's been created multiple times on EN and deleted as G5 as created by a sock of Amansharma111 - [3]. Think it's worth having a CU check if the two accounts here are related, plus any other accounts or just not worry about it? Ravensfire (talk) 22:58, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, it's probably a good idea. fr33kman 22:59, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Will do this evening. Alas, yard work is calling... Ravensfire (talk) 23:01, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

It's important to alert the CUs even if it's a duck. It let's them check for any other puppets that may be hidden. fr33kman 23:11, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Request for CU created at Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser#Amansharma111. I've got a feeling that over half of the promotional articles I've tagged in the past 2-3 months are all from this sock farm. Would be nice to see them get frustrated and stop. Ravensfire (talk) 02:15, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

No, it makes the text more complex and should be changed back. fr33kman 23:20, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

List of Eastern Caribbean people

There's no justification to delete this for "A4: The page is about a person, group, company, product or website, and does not claim notability". There was an RFD for it, so can't you delete it for that reason? Kk.urban (talk) 00:45, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

It was a mistake. fr33kman 01:35, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Could you please change the reason for deletion? List of Eastern Caribbean people - Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/List of Eastern Caribbean people

Also, there is a talk page and a bunch of redirects to this deleted page. Kk.urban (talk) 03:17, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

I can't alter the reason for a deletion after it's been deleted. Ill fix the talk page. fr33kman 03:41, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

I've seen other administrators undelete the page and then delete it again, to fix the reason. For example, see the deletion logs of Wikipedia:Pools and Vijay Nagar. Kk.urban (talk) 04:53, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Please help me about a page

Hello, I hope you are well. I have created a page name "Ario Nahavandi" and I used Language check Ai to make sure the context is in "Simple English" Format, but you have deleted the page. Another thing that was mentioned was notability, which I can understand as I carefully followed the "General notability guidelines" page to address the context and biography. Do you mind to tell me which part should to be edit or fixed then I can do it to get the page published?

I appreciate it, In advance.

Best Alanwhite12 (talk) 18:11, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

I took a look at the deleted page and it seems to me that you would need to have more references that support his notability. Right now there aren't enough sources that are independent, well-known, (i.e.:major national or international) , have a neutral point of view and have no conflict of interest. Well known national newspaper would be a good start. Well known magazines like Rolling Stone would also help establish his notability. If he was to be signed to a well-known record label this would make him notable on its own. I hope this helps, fr33kman 18:20, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much, I will try to gather more recourses. Could you please tell me how i can return the page back to edit the references? it has been deleted, or should i just create a new page? thanks Alanwhite12 (talk) 21:57, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

I could undelete it and place it your userspace if you wish, or you can just redo it. fr33kman 22:00, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Yes please that would be appreciated if you undelete it then i can work on it. many thanks! 2A02:6B68:3909:0:61E3:6541:37D1:558B (talk) 22:11, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Kendra Lust

Hi fr33kman, I hope you're well, Regarding Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/Kendra Lust;
WP:ITSNOTABLE isn't a valid for keeping and whilst the subject does have articles on other projects it was deemed on EN (whom are very stringent) that she wasn't notable and as such was deleted there,
Also Eptalon hasn't provided any evidence of any notability - Pure Evil gave a valid reason for deletion and it's the Keepers job to counteract deletion claims with a valid reason to keep with proof which imho was not done,
Looking at it in a neutral way PureEvil's comment held the most weight and he provided more than just "Delete - Not notable" which is what Eptalon's !vote basically is,

Would you maybe reconsider your closure please ?, If not I'll head over to DRV but thought I'd ask first, Have a pleasant weekend fr33kman :),
Many thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 23:07, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

No, I did my own research and did not rely on Eptalon's alone. The consensus was 50:50 for "reasons" so I did a tie-break and did the research myself and decided to keep. Please do take it to DRV if you feel otherwise. Thx :) fr33kman 23:25, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

If any other admin wishes to overturn my desicion, I am fine with that. fr33kman 23:33, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Okay brilliant, Could I further ask what research or what sources made you go with !keep?, I'm simply trying to better understand the reasoning behind it as you may have seen or found things I haven't or you may be aware of certain policies that I'm not, Many thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 23:46, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Sure, apart from passing NACTOR which can be used to contribute to GNG there was the number of products that have been created using her persona such as a journal, posters, and other such material is not created for nobodies; the fact that ChatGPT knows who she is; articles in reliable sources that mention her[5],[6],Rolling Stone etc...; Being in The UK Sun; Many articles in Sportskeeda; Being charged by the US SEC[7] (that is in the news); and the sheer number of videos she's in, amongst other stuff that are on loads of other websites, and that's she's on other Wikipedia's, led me to believe she meets GNG. It's a straw that broke the camel's back scenario. There is just too much mention of her for her not to be notable. Hope this helps! :) fr33kman 01:29, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Many thanks for providing sources and for your analysis on this, I can now understand your closure and I actually partially agree with it, As she's not on EN I don't fully agree with it but you make some valid points and you have done due diligence in researching this and leaving your feedback which I appreciate a lot,

Thank you for taking the time to explain this and for providing sources :), Many thanks, Kind Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 00:47, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Fr33kman, Korail7409 recently has been the main target of Genshin LTA. This LTA made so many impersonation accounts or similar user name accounts of Korail7409, this is evident mis-block. This 37.235 is also frequent Genshin LTA IP. LR0725 (talk) 15:54, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I was wondering about the situation. I blocked them due to the enwiki block and not because of the request. fr33kman 15:57, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Did this guy make any "one strike"? WP:ONESTRIKE says user blocked indefinitely can be just blocked in Simple English Wikipedia only by one rule-breaking, but I think Korail7409 did not commit any rule breaking here... LR0725 (talk) 16:00, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

A user blocked on another project can be blocked here with or without the onstrike. I found this edit to be unhelpful and the fact that they were blocked on enwiki for sockpupperty made me decide to block. Is there a specific reason you feel they should not be blocked? I'm willing to review. fr33kman 16:05, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Surely. Korail7409 is jawiki extendedconfirmed user, and attacked by that Genshin LTA for long time. You can see that in many sock accounts' edits in many wikimedia projects. Maybe like history of User talk:Korail7409? Korail7409 is just a LTA victim. LR0725 (talk) 16:11, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Notability (academics)

Can you provide a measure that could help determine whether an academic is notable, particularly in a non-Anglophone country with a different media ecosystem? I've heard people talk about some index related to how often people cite them. Kk.urban (talk) 17:41, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

It's a case-by-case basis. I've read what enwiki has to say about the subject and I suppose that could be used as a guideline. fr33kman 17:44, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

The devil does not come so fast when we think about him, as you come fast on the page. :-) Dear @Fr33kman I created Logan Keith Williams page two times. First time you delete it immediately, I could only see QD A4. Second time I created talk page first and mentioned that in my opinion how this subject is notable, you deleted also talk page with page. It is my request, please restore page, talk page and initiate an RfD. If community votes for delete. I myself nominate this for delete. Thanks. J.FlanaG (talk) 21:12, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry but the subject is not notable. You must show why and how the person deserves a page on Wikipedia. I read the page and determined that it was not notable. Sorry if this upsets you, it's not personal. :) fr33kman 21:14, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

After reviewing the page I've decided to undelete it and send it to RfD. You did state why the subject should be considered notable so I'm happy to undelete it. Good luck! :) fr33kman 21:19, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

RfD nomination of Testing rfd

An editor has requested deletion of Testing rfd, a page you created. We appreciate your changes, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Please comment on the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/Testing rfd and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also change the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns. But you should not remove the requests for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you very much. fr33kman 07:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

A Question

Hey bro, why is it that Wikipedia has its own logo and it can't be used here? Also I have tried to copy a few image from Arabic Wikipedia to here but it doesn't work either? What's the matter?--Faraz Sualeh (talk) 11:53, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Each version of Wikipedia chooses their own logo. The Simple English Wikipedia has chosen the one you see and has had it for almost 17 years. We like it. You are free to start another discussion on WP:ST to see if people want to update it, but we'll likely keep it. Hope this helps! fr33kman 12:28, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Also, the simplewiki does not allow the local upload of images. All images must go on commons. fr33kman 12:29, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey i was not asking about the official Wikipedia logos, i was asking about local article related logos such as Logo of Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades that's available on En wiki which you can see here; but it can't be uploaded here, though, i learned about it from your second answer. Thanks Faraz Sualeh (talk) 15:40, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

About once a year, I ask the community whether or not we want to allow the local uploading of images here. So far it's a 3-0 lose. I can ask again shortly. Best I can do. If you can see a picture on the Arabic wikipedia but can't use it here, it is because it must be uploaded locally on the Arabic wikipedia and not on commons. fr33kman 17:50, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

The main reason you can only see your logo on arwiki is that nether commons nor simplewiki allows the use of copyrighted images (ie: non-free images). fr33kman 17:59, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi there @Fr33kman I really don’t understand what you mean by the page I created does not claim notability. If I may ask what makes this page non notable? After been retrieving sources from Google news and you still says this page doesn’t meet notability. I really don’t get you. Please if you want somethings to be changed just undelete it so I can change it thanks. Gudwise (talk) 02:57, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Your page does not show what the person has done to be considered as notable (famous) enough to have an article here. What major national/international awards have they been awarded. How many citations in major newspapers, magazines do they have etc. Please read WP:GNG for more information. fr33kman 03:24, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

So do you mean News Ghana[10] is not a reliable/independent source ? Do you mean MENAFN is not a reliable/independent source and what about GhanaWeb[11] too?

He is a up and coming record producer.

so why don’t you consider? Gudwise (talk) 03:43, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

I actually did quite a bit more research on this one than normal. I can't find reliable sources. Those are sources that are available on the Internet, are cited in other reliable sources like other websites (who are themselves RS) and well-known national or international newspapers, journals and magazine. Being mentioned on the national or international news helps establish RS and N. CNN, Al-Jazeera, The Times of India etc., are all reliable sources as long as the subject is the main topic of the piece and not just mentioned as a 2 second side-line. I am, at the moment, researching a page that would list the major RS of India, Pakistan and South-East Asia asI don't think we have good enough coverage for this area of the world. fr33kman 13:55, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined QDs

Hi, I do know I tend to be more strict on these than many editors, but I thought the recent ones were pretty clear cut. For example, in María Josepha Sophia de Iturbide, every sentence is an exact word-for-word copy paste from EnWP. Not a word was changed. They editor just copied sentences and left others out. Short is not simpler, right? No attribution. What they didn't copy was references, making the article worse than the En version. Would you reconsider the QDs? Or, should I take them to RfD? I'd prefer not to clog up the Discussed Deletion queue any more than it is. Thanks, --Gotanda (talk) 23:44, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

When I reviewed them I thought that your reasoning was that they were an exact word-for-word copy of a copy of sentences. Then I saw that they had been changed a little and felt that perhaps your thinking was that there was no attribution. Copyright law permits an exact word-for-word copy without attribution of one or two sentences without falling foul of the law. I added the attribution and declined the QDs. Since you've explained what your thinking was more clearly I am happy to delete them. FYI, When I see articles created like these were, where fixing them would be quick and easy, I prefer to just quickly fix them them rather than delete them but I support your right to ask for a QD instead. Cheers! :) fr33kman 01:17, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

User:Dotdashmeredith

Hello Respected editor @Fr33kman i am here to bring your attention on @Dotdashmeredith I think he is doing sock puppetry on Simple English Wikipedia. I have seen he is Doing disruptive edits here and placing Random deletation tags on articles. He Creates a article Poybo Media which is created by a Sock on English Wikipedia [13] he is also Blocked on Wikidata [14] and Cr.wikipedia.org [15] . I Dont think he is here for a good reason. After reviewing his Editing style i am conformed he is here for recreating the deleted and blocked article from English Wikipedia. please Check this User and revert his all bad changes from Wikipedia, i tried to reverts his changes but he always doing Undo so i request you to see this matter Thanks in advance Simonsmichel (talk) 07:26, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

You are clearly targeting my work, and are sockpuppeting with multiple accounts to delete my QD nominations. I have already dealt with my past sockpuppeting with the administrators, and we have resolved that I will only use this account to make constructive edits. dotdashmeredith (talk) 07:28, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

For convenience to Fr33kman:

• I marked a number of articles for QD that I strongly believe do not meet notability.
• A brand new user, under an IP came and reverted all my QD nominations without reason. I warned them on their talk page, but they did not stop. Then they QD nominated articles I created without reason.
• The IP user stopped, and then a new Simonsmichel began repeating the same. Simonsmichel faked a global rollbacker role, likely to appear more authentic. This succession is evident of a sockpuppet.
• Simonsmichel began threatening on multiple Wikipedia threads.

Fr33kman, just take a glance at the articles I nominated for deletion. They clearly make sense.

This user should also be banned for sockpuppetry, vandalism. dotdashmeredith (talk) 07:34, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

You are using multiple accounts on simplewiki for sockpuppetry. I have blocked them all. fr33kman 16:37, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

What A Miracle

Hello @Fr33kman i have seen all the discussions and i think these are are playing game in Simple English Wikipedia after unblocking @Cyber.Eyes.2005. immediately user @Dotdashmeredith asking for unblock and along with this another account @OhDear2 brand new account raised voice against you for Requests for de-checkusership/Fr33kman this is not a coincidence. if i am not wrong these accounts are connected to each other. and planning something big on Simple English Wikipedia. Their edit style is also Similar to each other and they are also blocked on English Wikipedia for the same reason because of Sock Puppetry. May be they are using different IP or they are opperating form different locations. Simonsmichel (talk) 18:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Are you sure they're related? RiggedMint 18:53, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Because you are targeting specific people (mostly people who have been blocked on enwiki for socking)... Seems like you are attacking them? RiggedMint 18:55, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

no sir i am not targeting them i am not very much experienced like you and other senior editors. i just compare their editing style, way of editing and supporting each other and Recreating same article which is already deleted because of Sock Puppetry and now when @Fr33kman unblocked @Cyber.Eyes.2005 after few minuets @Dotdashmeredith came and request for unblock. and a brand new account Requests for de-checkusership/Fr33kman raised voice against him. is this normal according to you @RiggedMint sir. Simonsmichel (talk) 19:01, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

It seems pretty normal because both were blocked pretty much at the same time, They don't have the same IP, they even have different CU cases back in enwiki. RiggedMint 19:09, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

I am not related to any one of those users mentioned. @Simonsmichel is a sockpuppet, after their VPN IP reverted my QD nominatinos without reason, Simonsmichel began to do the same (faking their global rollback role). The articles I nominated do not meet QD. Then Simonsmichel began to threaten me, and reported me on multiple Wikipedia threads for no reason. dotdashmeredith (talk) 19:31, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Both of the users who nominated me and @Cyber.Eyes.2005 were brand new users/IPs who have made no other contributions. Their first move was nominating us, this is definitely some targeted attack. dotdashmeredith (talk) 19:32, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

@Fr33kman, would you mind a quick CU check on Simonmichel to see if they are a Amansharma111 sock. Their Simanchal Panda page has all of the hallmarks of an A111 article - over-the-top promotional tone, lots of unsourced awards, junk "world record" from pay-for-play award groups. I think there's a fair number of sleepers out there, unfortunately, as they like to do a new account every other article or so. I'd be glad to put all of this in the RFCU entry if you'd prefer. Ravensfire (talk) 19:20, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Bangkok Post

The article Bangkok Post, has been deleted.--Not sure who started the article, but I simplified it.--If you or anyone else can take a second look at that very short article, or stub, then fine.--Please consider having it republished, as it was at the point when the name of the sports editor was removed from the infobox.--By the way, I did not Q.C. the full address in the infobox.

From EN Wiki

Hi Fr33kman. Hope you are doing well. I am from EN wiki [24]. This message is regarding the User:SaneFlint who is blocked for abusivly using multiple accounts(socking) in EN wiki, here is the link to the Sockpuppet investigation. SaneFlint has created the article Pir Ihsanullah Shah Rashdi on EN Wiki, which is currently in the AfD: [25].
I'd like to clarify that User:SaneFlint assumed User:Rathura Jemican was me here on Simple Wiki: [26], even though I don't have any other accounts. This is my first edit on Simple Wiki. You can check my global contributions, I am a new page reviewer in En wiki and have been only editing there majorly.
After SaneFlint's ban on EN Wiki, they seem to have shifted here to create similar articles that were deleted on the EN wiki. I discovered their activity here while checking where this image was being used.
Feel free to disregard this message if Simple Wiki policies differ from those on EN Wiki or if SaneFlint hasn't violated any guidelines here. Cheers. Jeraxmoira (talk) 18:52, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Dotdashcomma

Hi! I noticed your block of them was only for a week. They've been globally locked (not by me) at this point, having continued their cross-wiki socking (namely with Tester85) and spam after multiple agreements not to. There's basically no chance they get unblocked, and I'm wondering if you'd be okay if we change the local block to indefinite for procedural purposes. I.e., if they appeal in the future we can treat Dotdashcomma as the "master" and they'd appeal that account's block, as opposed to the block of one of the many socks.

The version that was first discussed ([27], Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/Hacktivist Vanguard) is very different from the new version [28].

asking about recent article creation

Hi :) I noticed my recent newly created article was deleted as I was working on it. Subject is very much notable and I was working on it maybe you can undelete it? I will add resources it will be easier to confirm its notability. Subject was part of Sindh Khilafat Movement and Reshi Rumal Tehrik known as Silk Letter Conspiracy ): SaneFlint (talk) 18:54, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

My advice to you (like it is to everyone) is make it easier on the admins by firstly not publishing an article until it is in a fit state to be on the project by making sure it is at least 50%-75% finished and has a) reliable sources and b) makes an actual claim of notability. This means telling us WHY he subject deserves a page in an encyclopedia. I've created lots of articles myself and have never had one deleted because I follow this advice and don't press "Publish" until it is finished or almost finished. I will undelete this article for you but I expect to see a claim of notability and some citations from reliable secondary or tertiary sources TODAY. Thx, :) fr33kman 20:06, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Perfect I will do that next time :)

Why did you delete the article if you knew that there was a discussion about its permanence on Wikipedia? In addition, you deleted sources. I ask that you restore it again. Your action is arbitrary. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2024/Dhruv_Sharma 190.219.223.166 (talk) 21:10, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

It did not make a claim of notability so was detectable under QDA4. fr33kman 21:13, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

friend there is a request where it is disputed whether the article is kept or deleted where others give their opinion you simply deleted it, without consensus I ask that you restore it until I finished the debate you are violating the policy https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2024/Dhruv_Sharma 190.219.223.166 (talk) 21:16, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

I have restored it. I did not violate policy, as an admin I can decide to use quick deletion if it fits. I decided it was deletable under QDA4. fr33kman 21:20, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 It was requested 3x by another user. I posted it here because this editor deleted the page. There are quite a lot of requests on WP:AN in which page protection has been requested and no admin has taken action. Again, please look at things before you post. Thanks - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 03:54, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: If you think requests on the admins' noticeboard aren't getting action, consider that fewer admins will see a request on a talk page so it might be even less likely to get action. There may be a reason no action is taken on requests -- you can always ask. -- Auntof6 (talk) 05:15, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Mortoza Polash

I'd appreciate it if you could refrain from deleting articles when other admins have already declined QDs, as you have done on Mortoza Polash just now and at #Skibidi Toilet and #Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/Hacktivist Vanguard above. As an admin, you are supposed to be checking the history before deleting the article. This is not optional and is mentioned specifically in the QD template. This has already been mentioned to you multiple times on this talk page alone but despite this, it seems you still are either not checking the history or purposefully overriding other admins' actions without explanation – neither is acceptable. I'm going to assume good faith that you just aren't checking the history, but if that is the case, you should be reviewing QD requests closer in future. --Ferien (talk) 17:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Requesting admin to moderate/ deal with the vandalism problem with the Simple Wikipedia Generation articles

Hello there. I suggest that the Simple English Wikipedia articles for Generation X, Millennial, Generation Z, and Generation Alpha follow the same guidelines as those from the main English site. Admins there have concluded with only allowing official government citations and certain key institutions such as Pew Research to filter out disruptive editing and vandalism, and to provide a factual reading experience. Much of the edits in these Simple Wikipedia articles have dubious citations, with bad-faith statements (examples include edits stating that Pew ends Gen X at 1979; both citations in the Generation Alpha page state 2013 as the start date, yet editors falsely edit the sentence to state 2012; and the false statement that there are many governmental sources that have 1996-2011 as the Gen Z date range, when this isn't the case). There are multiple citations that come from irrelevant sources (which will allow editors to put any date range they choose,  thus pointing out the bias problem). I have already made edits to remove these, but I believe that it is important to inform to you about this and to allow you to make the decision. I assert that Simple Wikipedia should follow the same guidelines as the main site in order to avoid it becoming chaotic pop-culture articles with bias/disruptive editing and to rid of these editing wars. 2601:940:C180:3DB0:7D8E:995E:B869:AE05 (talk) 02:31, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Were you testing something when you deleted this category? In any case, I've restored it. -- Auntof6 (talk) 10:17, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Category:LGBT people by variation

I moved Category:LGBT people by variation and Category:LGBT variations, and you deleted them. I don't know if there's a bot that automatically replaces the category in the subcategories or if we should use c:Cat-a-lot to do that. Can you restore them again? Thanks. MikutoH (talk) 22:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@MikutoH FYI, there is a bot, RussBot. It logs its actions at User:RussBot/category redirect log. It seems to usually run twice a month, so it hadn't moved the pages to the new category title yet. (I agree that Category:LGBT people by identity and Category:LGBT identities should be restored.) Kk.urban (talk) 22:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 Please refer to this discussion. These two categories were moved (and later deleted), but the contents were not yet moved. Kk.urban (talk) 23:43, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Kk.urban: Yes, I saw that the contents hadn't been moved/recategorized, so I was taking care of that. Did I cause a problem? -- Auntof6 (talk) 23:45, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6: When MikutoH moved Category:LGBT people by variation and Category:LGBT variations to Category:LGBT people by identity and Category:LGBT identities, they meant for the contents to be moved to the new category titles. However, the bot hadn't moved them yet, so the new categories were empty, and Fr33kman deleted them as empty categories. They were not supposed to be empty, they just hadn't been populated yet. Kk.urban (talk) 23:48, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Kk.urban: OK. So would you like me to restore the identity categories and populate them from the variation categories? -- Auntof6 (talk) 23:51, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 I think so, because that's what was intended. Kk.urban (talk) 23:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Kk.urban: OK, I'll do that now. Stand by. -- Auntof6 (talk) 23:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Kk.urban: I think it's right now. Let me know if I need to do anything else. Sorry for the trouble. -- Auntof6 (talk) 00:03, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Kk.urban (talk) 00:05, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Delete

Can you go to their subpages and delete everything as they have a lot of broken templates and info boxes and such there? Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 19:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Sure but it won't be quick, I'm using a phone. Keep nudging me if I miss stuff fr33kman 19:53, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

No worries. I appreciate it.

Hello, Fr33kman. You have a new email! Please check it at your convenience.

Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 19:54, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

You weren’t kidding. 30 min in and I only tagged 1/4 of them. I tagged as G6 and referenced this conversation. I’ll resume tagging when some are cleared out. Need to also see what is under their sock account. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 08:35, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 This is the conversation I referred to for all of those you just declined. A lot of them have templates and cats on them that are polluting the wanted categories. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 08:37, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: Yes, I understand that this is that conversation. I also understand that it's frustrating to have an indeffed user's pages in maintenance categories. However, we can live with that while we do the proper procedures. -- Auntof6 (talk) 08:39, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) We do not have a practice of deleting a user's pages just because they are indeffed. I suggest either going to RFD or just blanking the pages. -- Auntof6 (talk) 08:37, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 See my reply above please. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 08:38, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

There is really no difference between blanking or deleting them. Blanking them will allow them to come back and re-pollute everything especially with the malformed templates they were making and I’m still fixing some of them they brought over incorrectly and messed up. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 08:39, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 RfD doesn’t work because it’s for articles not user pages. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 08:40, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: The QDs I just declined were all for user pages. Those are the ones I said could be taken to RFD. -- Auntof6 (talk) 08:41, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: If you meant that RFD is for articles and not user pages, that is not true. We have done RFDs for user pages before. -- Auntof6 (talk) 08:42, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: Be advised that I am not telling you to blank the pages. This should be done by an admin if done at all. -- Auntof6 (talk) 08:38, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 Then I will need to figure out how to do the bulk page deletion for an RfD. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 08:45, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: One way is to do an RFD for one of them, then do a manual edit to the RFD page to add the others. -- Auntof6 (talk) 08:50, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 I can do that. Can I include any pages under their sock account if I find anywhere that are also in line with the issues or do I need to make two discussions because it’s two different user names? Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 08:54, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: IMO, that would depend. How many sock accounts and how many pages? -- Auntof6 (talk) 09:00, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 See Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser#BottleOfSoup. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 09:01, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: I see one sock listed there, and I don't see any subpages under it, so I think this is a moot question. -- Auntof6 (talk) 09:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I hadn’t looked yet. So thank you. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 09:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 Also I still feel the QD is justified as all of those are just copied from enwp with no simplification on them. Others are translated (by editors own admission) using google translate and something they marked as MT translated. So I’m not sure they should really go to RfD to be honest. That’s why a lot of them have red link templates and red link cats on them. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 09:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: The QD option for non-simplified pages applies to article space, not user space. People are allowed to have non-simplified stuff in their user space so they can work on it. -- Auntof6 (talk) 09:11, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 However, considering they are indefinitely blocked, would that still apply? Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 09:12, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: Yes. User space pages don't turn into articles when a user gets indeffed. I know it's frustrating, but we don't bypass requirements just because a user is indeffed (or banned). -- Auntof6 (talk) 09:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 Apologies as I was going directly off of your words People are allowed to have non-simplified stuff in their user space so they can work on it. but if they are indeffed/banned, they can no longer work on them. But anyways, so we aren’t filling up this page, I’ll put them all to RfD tomorrow from a pc. Thanks for explaining. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 09:27, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

re: one strike

Hi, with what you said on User talk:SportsOlympic#Unblock request, I probably agree. I noticed it has got stricter over the years. Wikipedia talk:Blocks and bans#Amendment to ONESTRIKE was made as over time, the rule had also changed more from banned users into just indef users. The block itself was probably one of the poorest blocks I've seen in terms of justification and I wasn't a fan at the time, but that's a matter for another day :) Usually we are a bit more generous than onestrike anyway. --Ferien (talk) 21:29, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, rule creep can be a problem. The thing with one strike was that it was designed to protect the project not punish people who people didn't get along with fr33kman 18:59, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello

hello I am new here. as I have started to collaborate with the Sindh Adabi Board which is affiliated with the local government to save the Sindhi literature. I hope it would be ok to for me to collborate with them. I am also economics and history student with masters degree.

so I got the question here.

how do article publishing and article undeleting process works here? it seems many sindhi literature subjects are getting vanished due to the poor press or writers support.

any guidance would be great cheers!

Jinglingzone (talk) 14:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Basically subjects must meet WP:GNG, include unbiased references, be of neutral points of view and be able to pass peer review if needed. Conflicts of interest must also be avoided which means people who work for an organisation should avoid writing articles about or concerning that organisation. Articles must be written in simple English using words contained in WP:BE850 and WP:BE1500 and be written in a way that the average student in US grades 6-9 can read and understand. Our mission is to offer articles that exist on the normal English Wikipedia but in simpler English. Feel free to ask members of the community for help on WP:ST. If you need the aid of an admin you can ask for help on WP:AN. If a member of the community contacts you with comments about your work assume that they are trying to help you and are not criticising you. If I can help please ask for help. Good luck and happy editing. fr33kman 15:43, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I get it ː)

I won't write about any org. but my focus will be to preserve the Sindhi literature based on a neutral point of view.

I have last question. how do we request for articles undeletion if they're deleted due to not enough attention from writers from various areas

Page protection at Acharya Satish Awasthi

Hola, @Fr33kman, I come from the English Wikipedia. I'm not sure how to request page protection but a lot of IP addresses keep removing the deletion notice at Acharya Satish Awasthi. I think this should be protected from being edited by new users because it keeps getting removed. I have warned them. Cleo Cooper (talk) 03:54, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Fr33kman, I am cleaning up Category:All unreferenced BLPs by adding references to them. Is temporary flood flag will be suitable for that?? because it is a large task so I don't want to disturb recent changes or other users? DIVINE 17:31, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Why did you delete GenderFluid

It wasn't a test page, just vandalized Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 01:03, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Pretty sure he blindly deleted without checking page history. It should be restored, and if anyone wants go to AfD. Trigender (talk) 02:27, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

I am confused by the way you handled this page. As far as I am aware, any meaningful version of the history should not be deleted. If the page was vandalized, it would be better to restore the page and revert to the best version. Deleting the page and just importing context removes attribution for all the people who ever contributed to the page. BRP ^ever 15:22, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

I was unable to restore the reference as it triggered the spam filter so the only way to recreate the page was to remove the reference. I think the spam filter may have been placed after the original page was made as not even admins can bypass it. fr33kman 15:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Can we edit the spam filter so that doesn't happen/find a new reference@Fr33kman Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 20:18, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

I'll look into it fr33kman 20:20, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you@Fr33kman Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 20:38, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

While you're at it, can you fix the filter preventing me from fixing the invisble comment at List of countries and dependencies by population density Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:59, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Can you tell me the wording of the error you get when you try. That'll make it easier for me to find it. fr33kman 14:11, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

"The text you wanted to publish was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to a forbidden external site. The following text is what triggered our spam filter: indiastat.com"

Is that helpful Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 19:39, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

indiastat.com is on the spam blacklist so it can't be used as a source or reference. I am not willing to remove it from the list. You'll need another source instead. fr33kman 19:15, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

It already there though...and it isn't an issue there. Is there still spamming of that url? Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 01:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

It may have been added before the blacklist was added to. I'm not willing to remove it from the list so I'd recommend finding a better source. fr33kman 10:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I managed to find a combination of 2 and fix the article. But why does the blacklist prevent you from editing an article already with that source, not just prevent you from adding it. And why is it even on the blacklist to begin with Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 11:02, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Probably what's happened is the original article was written before the blacklist was written to. When you tried to save it afterwards it caught the spam. Just a guess mind you. fr33kman 13:27, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

I agree that's probably why. What I am asking is why doesn't the blacklist prevent adding a link to the site, not just editing a page with that as a link Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 14:11, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia probably rewrites the whole page and triggers the filter. The fast answer is I'm guessing. You might want to ask @Eptalon: or @Djsasso: as they know more about the technical side of editing. fr33kman 15:32, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

The blacklist isn't retroactive fr33kman 10:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Rabies and snafu

Hi! In case it might interest you - one thinks that "this wikipedia" should not be promoting quick tests regarding rabies ("Rabies antigen").--Looks also like ChenzwBot is cruising for meds: simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rabies_vaccine&diff=9686873&oldid=9686872

I have contacted the developer about the bot (Special:Diff/9686905). MathXplore (talk) 03:07, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I propose a redirect to Rabies testing and better sourcing. Derpdart56 (talk) 03:08, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

"Anyone" can roll out a quick-test for anything.--Quick-tests regarding cancer or regarding rabies, we should probably not touch even with a ten-foot pole.--Those should not be redirects, in my view. 2001:2020:315:C17E:2CAD:4160:514F:4AE2 (talk) 04:14, 7 August 2024 (UTC) /2001:2020:30D:FE3D:E52A:EDB4:B6D6:79E

I honestly, and I'm an MD, don't understand what you want to happen? Are we doing something wrong? Thx fr33kman 04:29, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I think that swep should contain everything notable. These tests that's becoming cheap, available, and people are using them then that's a) a notable actual physical product, b) that a significant portion of people are using them commonplaces. The ideas in the article need to be expressed in a NPOV manner and should cite good resources that show quality work. I think we're not here as a medical advisor, we merely present the raw data and let the reader do their own analysis. If we manage that we've done our job. fr33kman 04:39, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Question

Hello. Is there a template on simplewiki to insert into a user's talk page informing them about the requirement to add sources to information? We have something like this in plwiki (pl:Szablon:Kom), but I can't find it here. Thank you and have a nice day! BZPN (talk) 09:17, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @BZPN Would you mind pointing out where we have such a requirement? I don't remember seeing one. -- Auntof6 (talk) 14:53, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

@BZPN is {{Uw-unsourced1}} what you are looking for? Also a reminder that not everything needs to be sourced. Preferably, they should be, but there are some exceptions like common knowledge, widely accepted facts and so on. In many cases, it is also easier to add the source by borrowing it from enwiki than removing the content.--BRP ^ever 15:04, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

@BRPever, Yes, that's what I meant, thank you! I meant to use such a template in a situation where the user creates a new article/new changes without providing any sources. Moreover, not all sources from enwiki are always of good quality (after all, weak sources are also used there). WP:Verifiability says: Verifiability is the key to becoming a reliable resource, so editors should cite credible sources so that their edits can be easily verified. Information like 2+2=4 is very rare. Requiring as many good quality sources as possible is not a bad thing, because the more sources, the easier it is for the reader to verify the information. Regards, BZPN (talk) 15:25, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) My view has always been that we should have reliable resources on every article, even though I don't know of any policy/guideline that says that. If there is indeed no policy or guideline, we can't tell people it's a requirement, especially if there's no policy/guideline saying to have any sources at all.

As for using substandard sources, that's trickier. IMDB is one tricky one, because some of that content is vetted and some isn't. I wouldn't want to be the person checking that references using IMDB were citing only the vetted parts. -- Auntof6 (talk) 23:14, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

For IMDB, I usually only trust the writers credit as that's known to be verified for American films before it gets added on IMDB. Anything else potentially is based on a user suggestion, so it's problematic to use. Decicdely NEVER to use the user ratings.

I don't remember the exact specifics, but there have been films in the past where a user edit / suggestion resulted in someone being added to the film's cast section when they weren't involved, or at best were an extra (which IMDB ppurportedly doesn't list). Release dates can be tricky because I don't know if they follow the exact same rules as we do for release dates. Film ratings from MPA can be trusted, but I'm rarely in favor of film censor board ratings being included baring something unusual about a particular rating as they are country specific. Think Midnight Cowboy for a decent example. I like IMDB as an Other website link, but as a source, there's usually better options. Ravensfire (talk) 03:46, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi could you please edit the main page featured article

The change is from Wikipedia:Very good articles/Lawrence, Kansas to:

It is in the northeastern part of the state, near the Kansas City area. It is the county seat of Douglas County. In 2010, 87,643 people lived there; though in 2019, there were an estimated 98,193 people.

Could you please change this to:

It is in the northeastern part of the state, near Kansas City. It is the county seat of Douglas County. In 2020, 94,934 people lived there.

Hello @Fr33kman From past 1 month i am observing there are many People making paid pages on simple wikipedia. People who are not having any news article and having 2-3 paid article also getting live here. And Scammers are using fake references as well with fake references. And a user @Symonds Gerother is involved in it because today i inserted qd in 5-10 non notable pages and he revereted all the changes and removed qd. So he is also involved in the group of people who are making paid pages of non notable people so deleted all the pages on which i have inserted qd and which has been remove by @Symonds Gerother and Block this user.

Probably better left at WP:AN, but the Symonds Gerother is CU blocked on enwiki and the SPI [29] suggests this could be Amansharma111, who often uses fake sources when they have created articles with previous socks. Given they've been blocked on enwiki and are using fake sources here, might be one-strike territory? Ravensfire (talk) 16:07, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Fr33kman, I just thought I'd give you a courtesy notice I reverted your change to the deletion policy/interface. I added my thoughts to the simple talk discussion - any changes to deletion policy should be given at the talk page of the deletion policy page/simple talk.

Some QD concerns I've got

Firstly, I advise that you make sure that you delete the talk page of any page you quickly delete (e.g. Template talk:User fart-N). This eliminates the need to separately tag talk pages for G8 quick deletion after the fact. I believe Twinkle can help with this. Also, are you sure this deletion was correct? I assume that the page was a redirect to User talk:DrKay (if not, please let me know), and I don't think you're supposed to U2 redirects that are left behind due to the renaming of users. Or at least, that's how it works on enwiki. If it's different over here, please let me know. JJP_Master (she/they) 17:38, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't see the talk page was there. I've deleted it now. Yes that other deletion was correct, the user doesn't exist. fr33kman 17:42, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Question

Hello. Recently I was thinking about creating a bot that would insert QD templates with the appropriate category into newly created articles:

• These would be editing tests
• Less than 150kb (not including redirects)

I don't think we have such a bot on simplewiki yet. What do you think about this idea? Best regards, BZPN (talk) 20:59, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

How would it determine whether or not it should be deleted? There is no QD criterion to delete based on the size of an article. fr33kman 21:05, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @BZPN: I don't feel like this would be a good idea. On the one hand, if it were too broad, it could include relatively short non-QDable articles. I checked, and the article about Biłgoraj is under 150 kB. And if it were too specific, it would probably not do much. JJP_Master (she/they) 21:05, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

It would be possible to determine if an article is sheer Vandalism. Chenzwbot does that already but does not place QD templates. Not saying that it is a good idea just that for Vandalism it might be possible. fr33kman 21:11, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

What I mean here is inserting G2 for pages that do not contain any formatting, links, etc. This would involve inserting QD into typical test pages. BZPN (talk) 21:15, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Also ping for @JJPMaster. BZPN (talk) 21:16, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Take this to St please. More discussion is needed. fr33kman 21:18, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

I'll do it soon. Thank you! BZPN (talk) 21:19, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

@BZPN You should probably have proposed this at simple talk so that more eyes can see it. Anyway, this is a really bad idea. This would not be the first bot to automatically tag pages for QD (I believe it was User:GoblinBot4 that did this first). Bots should not be used for controversial tasks (at least not without a consensus) and QDs can be contested. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 21:11, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Agreed fr33kman 21:12, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

@Fehufanga, It's just my idea, I didn't mean to implement it without discussion. I recently noticed that a lot of test pages are being created (a few letters, no formatting), and QDs are not automatically inserted into them, which could be useful. 150kb is only an approximate value :).

Enrique Mendiola

Dear Fr33kman, I would like to respectfully request the undeletion of the article, Enrique Mendiola. His notability can be seen in Tagalog Wikipedia, Enrique Mendiola despite the gruff header (note: it is not being deleted in spite of it). Enrique Mendiola (b.1859 — d.1914) is one of the Philippines' pioneer educators and legal authors. The thoroughfare named after him, Mendiola Street has been the stage for many mass rallies for human rights; and political and labor protests. I can volunteer to work with further erudition and improve these articles — if allowed. For your consideration, please. Buszmail (talk) 06:42, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

The correct place to request undeletion is WP:DRV. Thanks fr33kman 11:18, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, likewise. Buszmail (talk) 21:47, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

@Buszmail Just an FYI the article at Tagalog Wikipedia only has 2 references; one is a personal blog, the other is okay but probably taken from the Tagalog article so imho cannot be used. I've not found anything better online either so unfortunately this is a perfect WP:A4 candidate, Also there is no article on the English Wikipedia which further proves the notability point.

As Fr33kman says you're more than welcome to go to DRV however don't be surprised if it gets closed as QD-endorsed, I'd be happy to continue this on your or my talkpage but please don't respond here, Thanks. –Davey2010^Talk 21:59, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Fr33kman. When you QD a page that has an RFD on it, would you please close the RFD? I just closed a few where you had QD'd the page, and it would have been nice of you to take care of it yourself.

Also, in cases like this, consider that if we let the RFD play out and the page gets deleted, it opens up WP:QD#G4 for possible use in the future if the page gets recreated. Thanks! -- Auntof6 (talk) 07:15, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

If you believe that the subject is notable and fulfils any problems with the former version of the article has been addressed then the best test is to make a new article using reliable sources and a neutral point of view and adhering to the biographies of living persons policy and see what happens. If there are still issues that need addressing. So basically give it a shot and see what happens. You could also create the article in your user space and ask people to review it before moving it to the main encyclopedia. Hope this help :) fr33kman 20:49, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Regarding the deletion of Chris Mustapha Nwakobia Jnr

Good evening Fr33kman. I wonder if you may be able to help me, please?

Earlier today, I saw the QD request for Chris Mustapha Nwakobia Jnr. I placed a "Wait" on the article, and provided reasons on the talk page, which indicated that he had notability, and that he had been covered in the Nigerian Press, on African Television (and I have since discovered, he's been interviewed on Radio about Nigerian politics), and heads one of the largest Nigerian reform forums in the country.

He was also a Presidential candidate in the 2011 Nigerian Elections. The sourcing may have been poor, but those things alone (especially the Presidential candidacy) and his other work, should give him notability in the field of politics. He is a Professor of Political Sciences.

There is also an RFD currently open, which the nominator (User:BigKrow) opened at the same time as the QD. Whether that was a mistake or not, I don't know, but I do see that the user has been told off about some of their QD requests.

Could I please ask you to consider undeleting the article, in favour of allowing it to go through a standard RFD? You didn't delete the talk page with my notes on, and I'm wondering if you saw what I'd noted when you deleted it.

Thank you for your consideration, DaneGeld (talk) 23:05, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I made a bad decision.... BigKrow (talk) 23:07, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

I have a quick trigger finger sometimes, apologies.

But been told off about some of their QD requests. I don't appreciate your tone here @DaneGeld:, thanks. BigKrow (talk) 23:10, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

@BigKrow: - Apologies for the tone of my comment. I had visited your talk page after I saw the double request on the article I mentioned above, and noted from that, that @Auntof6: had considered restricting you from making QD and RFD requests, asking you to take a step back. English is not my first language, and I occasionally word things in a manner which appears rude or curt. Being told off, as I understand it, means that you've been spoken to about something you might be doing wrong. If I've got that wrong, I apologise. DaneGeld (talk) 23:35, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

I appreciate the kind words, @DaneGeld:, also @Auntof6: apologies my mind got the best of me.... BigKrow (talk) 23:38, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

To @Fr33kman: apologies. BigKrow (talk) 23:39, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

I thought I declined the QD?? fr33kman 01:42, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately, that's not the case. The article is deleted, and the entry on the article page shows you deleted it. Would you be open to restoring it, please? And thank you! DaneGeld (talk) 09:03, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Restored fr33kman 11:36, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll have to reopen a new RFD on it, because after it was deleted, Rayaan closed the RFD down. I'll try and improve the article whilst the RFD is open! DaneGeld (talk) 12:59, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

@Fr33kman I reopened it in RfD, so if you have any further questions, let me know thanks! Raayaan9911 14:56, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

@DaneGeld: Being told off does basically mean what you said, but it means being told in an aggressive or angry way about something you did wrong. I didn't intend to sound aggressive or angry. English has so many synonyms that it can be difficult to understand the connotation of a word. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:00, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

That's good to know! It proves that even if you learn a language, you still have room to learn more! English is very intricate, and I have no doubt that I need to improve. DaneGeld (talk) 13:02, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey admin I need urgent help at the article you deleted I recreated it, and I also made it comply with Wikipedia guidline , but the same editor that nominated it for quick deletion nominated it again and For G4, I thought G4 was for articles that have been deleted throug article for deletion not quick deletion, this User has also tried reverting several edits I made to the article to request the retaining, thank you. Notstrange1 (talk) 22:22, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

G4 only states the Recreation of a deleted page. It does not state whether or not that is by QD or RfD. The best thing to do would be to place a {{wait}} template on it and explain why on the talk page outlining the issue. fr33kman 16:35, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

G4 only applies to pages deleted at RfD: per Wikipedia:Deletion policy

Creation of content that is already deleted. It includes an identical or similar copy, with any title, of a page that was deleted, after being discussed in Requests for deletion, unless it was undeleted due to another discussion or was recreated in the user space.

2601:644:8184:F2F0:E9E8:E99:A431:DFCD (talk) 16:39, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

Complex QDs

I have sent a few articles to QD (Satpal Jamba) since they are copied from enwiki with no simplification. These articles contain complex sentences and serve no purpose, since they are just copies of english wikipedia articles, and are unlikely to ever be simplified. Could you explain why these were rejected? Thanks, MrMeAndMrMe_Talk 03:08, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Because they were very short and no simplification was needed. They possibly could have been deleted as copyright violations but I felt no QD criteria fit properly so just declined to delete them. fr33kman 17:41, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

April 2025

@Fr33kman Please, you can check and block this user? Because this user is not here to build free encyclopedia, he is continuously trying to push Rajput caste POV for what he was warned and 4-5+ and final warnings he has already received.[30][31][32][33] Also this user 2-3 times personally attacked fellow editors.[34][35]

Further, this user created three pages and directly copied content from EN-Wiki without any declaration or attribution.[36][37][38]

Clearly he is not understanding the issues, and despite the final warnings, he continued disruption and restoring the Rajput caste POV, violating NPOV policy. Therefore, a short block, long block, or Topic block on Indian caste and history related articles is a necessary. Bensebgli ^(Talk) 10:53, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

@Fr33kman: HistorianAlferedo has also been involved in using misleading edit summaries ("but we don't have warning template for misleading edit-summaries"), and he was also reported at WP:AN but any admin not yet responded there. I can provide more diffs about their misleading edit-sunmaries, personal attacks, & disruptive edits (Caste POV pushing). Thank you. Bensebgli ^(Talk) 11:07, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
