East Turkmanistan

I agree with the reason change. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 07:06, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the double check. MathXplore (talk) 07:07, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Warnings to Asilbab

You need to graduate the warnings. If you look at the talk page, there are a couple of sets of warnings at the same level. That just makes us look like we aren't serious. They could have been given a final warning by now if the warnings had been graduated. I've blocked the user, but please remember this for next time. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 12:59, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Help please

Can you move Wow Wow Wubbzy to Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!?
-Thank you, 50.30.176.24 (talk) 21:47, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

And if you have time, can you please move Category:Indian hindus to Category:Indian Hindus? For, Hindu is a proper noun so it should be capitalized. Thank you very much. -50.30.176.47 (talk) 05:12, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

 Done Category moved and QD requested to the older one. MathXplore (talk) 05:55, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Empty categories

Hello MathXplore. The deletion policy says that categories can only be deleted if they don't have enough articles or subcategories for at least four days. Category:Italian art was created today so it might still be under development. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 15:26, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Help

Can you describe to me how to link an article to wikidata item? Waloowal16 (talk) 14:20, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

In the left of each page there is the "in other languages" section so click the "add links" button. Then enter the article name with language code to the page you want to link. MathXplore (talk) 14:22, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Waloowal16 (talk) 14:23, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Delete

I respect you . Deepanshu Titoriya new Most youngest Bollywood actor.I will try to fix this page. I request you not to delete this page. Imwikimaster (talk) 04:13, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Then stop removing the RfD tags and start to learn about notability. Otherwise, you will never become a wiki master as you desire. MathXplore (talk) 04:15, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

MathXplore, I think they will now be blocked as they have received four warnings. In the time now, it may not need to be reverted more. Maybe better to just wait until they are blocked. 50.30.176.22 (talk) 07:33, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Generally, RfD tags must be kept for article management and discussion notice, which is the reason why the removal was reverted. MathXplore (talk) 07:35, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I know, that is why you did it. But may be it doesn't matter because the Rfd is still on WP:RFD and they will get blocked soon. I reported them to Vandalism in Progress so hopefully an admin will see it. That way you will not keep getting in edit war. 50.30.176.22 (talk) 07:37, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Edit wars must be avoided, although we have to encourage the editors as instructed at {{uw-rfd}}. MathXplore (talk) 08:45, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

 Done The mentioned page was deleted by the result of Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2021/Deepanshu Titoriya. MathXplore (talk) 23:03, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

STOP

stop following me please. And those articles are my sandbox, so I can do whatever I want with them. smh

What you said is completely wrong. Articles are not sandboxes. If you want to use sandboxes, consider to obtain your own account or use Wikipedia:Sandbox. MathXplore (talk) 02:32, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

well those "articles" are supposed to be tests— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6D50:2EC0:4560:6A5E:8EAD:32C4 (talk • contribs) 02:33, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Test pages will be deleted quickly, please read the Wikipedia:Deletion policy. MathXplore (talk) 02:39, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Hazard-bot ain't working on sandbox, can you revert it?

Hazard-bot works only every hour, if you want to clean it right now then you can revert it by yourself. MathXplore (talk) 03:05, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

What if I don't want to. Maybe you can— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6D50:2EC0:4560:6A5E:8EAD:32C4 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Do it yourself please. MathXplore is currently lurking the new changes page and is pretty busy. I can do it for you, but can you show me which pages? Elytrian (talk) 03:17, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

 Done The edits were reverted by others. Please do not use the whole place for your tests. MathXplore (talk) 03:20, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

And decided to report this IP to WP:VIP. MathXplore (talk) 03:38, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

IP blocked for 31 hours. MathXplore (talk) 03:41, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Using rollback

Please remember that rollback is to be used only for vandalism. With this change to Ivana Trump, you rolled back changes that added a reference using enwiki as the source. That needed to be reverted, but it was not vandalism. You also could have left the user a message saying that Wikipedia can't be used in references. Please use rollback only for vandalism. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:18, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Shariful Islam Naik (Shariful Islam) QD

Hi MathXplore. Can you show me a link of the request for deletion for this page? I can't find one. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 10:32, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2021/Shariful Islam Naik, here is the page you are finding. The author is trying to avoid deletion by changing the title many times, which make things more complicated. Deletion records can be found from Shariful Islam Naik. MathXplore (talk) 10:59, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Oh I see. Thank you. --Ferien (talk) 11:06, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

 Done The mentioned pages were quickly deleted. MathXplore (talk) 11:38, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

If you have rollback can you fix these edits

User:Quissmas175 does not like Hermione Granger for some reason and vandalizes several articles. 50.30.176.24 (talk) 03:59, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

 Done Reverted unexplained content removal. Since this was a single edit, it could be easily reverted without rollback. MathXplore (talk) 04:13, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

There are also three edits to List of Harry Potter movie characters and I did not want to revert them because it may be wrong. 50.30.176.24 (talk) 04:14, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

 Done The user above has been blocked. MathXplore (talk) 04:18, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

thank you 50.30.176.24 (talk) 04:19, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Categories

Hey MathXplore. I noticed you were moving lots of categories from one parent category to another. You might find Cat-a-lot helpful, it can move, add and remove categories much quicker. You've got to be careful with it though, it's a very powerful tool! Regards, --Ferien (talk) 12:53, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice. I'll use that after I understand enough. MathXplore (talk) 13:01, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

QD tags

Just a heads up, before you spend a ton of time QDing all of those redirects, please see here.--Gordonrox24 | ^Talk 01:41, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Checked the noticeboard and expressed support to the suggestion of mass deletion.MathXplore (talk) 13:22, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Congratulations: You have been given a Barnstar! For your tireless work categorising, referencing, editing, and all around being an amazing contributor. Elytrian - Talk 11:19, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

(film) redirects

Hi MathXplore, I declined your QD request on The Haunted Mansion (film)‎ as "film" is used on enwiki, and it's much easier to swap en with simple instead of also having to change film to movie when going from enwiki to simplewiki. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 12:01, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Mine (disambiguation)

I see why you want it clipped, but I think we need to have some policy. I appreciate that these En disambig pages are insanely complex, yet I know from past experience that some senior users think they are helpful to suggest new pages are needed. The result is often a blizzard of red links, most of which last forever. One way to go is to split the term down with a secondary adjective, such as "mine (explosive)" or "mine (bomb)". Anyway, you might bring the issue up for discussion. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:20, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice, let me think about those options. MathXplore (talk) 09:39, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Sort key for main article in a category

If you already knew this but just don't always remember, then join the club and ignore this message! :D

When you have a situation like the article Honshū in the category Category:Honshu -- that is, when the article has the same name as the category because it's the main article in the category -- the article should have a sort key of a space so that it appears at the top of the list of articles. The same is true if the main article has a different name from the category name, such as the article U.S. state in Category:States of the United States. You can look at the change I just made to Honshū to see what I'm talking about.

This, along with similar special sort keys, is documented at Wikipedia:Categories#Sorting, in the text under "Special character sort keys".

But like I said, if you already knew this, just ignore this message! I don't always remember to do it right myself. :) --Auntof6 (talk) 10:06, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Category

Can you add the categories to articles that made by 165.120.47.44 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) ? --109.155.194.192 (talk) 10:31, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
