A baton for you!

	The admin baton
	Well, goodness! Thanks for taking this off my hands :) super excited for the editing career ahead of you. Welcome to the corps!

theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 00:37, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron thank you so much! I'm hopeful that I won't be carrying this for too long ;) Hey man im josh (talk) 00:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Istanbul Express deletion

Thanks. You too. Cheers! Shir-El too 11:33, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Nice to see the upgrade

Do you have sufficient floor cleaner and a really big bucket? 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:46, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! Is there every really sufficient floor cleaner for all that the mops need to take care of? Hey man im josh (talk) 19:01, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

It was a surprise to see you newly endowed with janitorial equipment. I thought you'd already got the keys to the cleaning cupboard. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:24, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Here you go...

JBW (talk) 20:58, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

@JBW: You're too kind! I must say, I think this flamethrower is the coolest of all the gifts I've received now that I'm an admin :) Hey man im josh (talk) 12:13, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Congratulations

Well done on such a successful mop application. I think you deserve it. Well done, and achieved in 3 years too. 👏 Knitsey (talk) 21:13, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

@Knitsey thank you so much! I hope not to let those who supported me when. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:40, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm quite sure you are going to do really well. Cool head, helpful, knows policy, admits when you're wrong, pays attention to detail. These are all thing that, in my noobish and humble opinion, make a good admin. Well deserved I say. Knitsey (talk) 12:16, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

A pie for you!

Here's something to chew while you try to manoeuvre your way through the new buttons (at least that's what I hear). Many congratulations on your successful RfA. Cheers 👏👏👏🍾🥂 - Volten001 ^☎ 03:45, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

There are a lot of new buttons that I'm both intimidated by, and interested in smashing because "ooo buttons!" I am however proceeding cautiously and carefully. Thank you for the pie and the congrats! Hey man im josh (talk) 12:15, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Hehee... I get you and it's a nice idea to tread carefully while you familiarize yourself with them buttons. Anyway, you're most welcome and see you around! Volten001 ^☎ 15:05, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Congratulations on the successful RFA! NotAGenious (talk) 13:57, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Spaghetti House siege

Firstly, congratulations on your new Admin status. Thanks also for the visibility changes on the Spaghetti House siege vandalism. There was one edit earlier in the day that could also probably be changed - this porn image. If you're able to do that, I'd be much obliged. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 18:03, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

@SchroCat: Thank you both for the congratulations and for bringing this to my attention! I've hidden that revision. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:08, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh, and I'm going through that vandal's contributions and hiding other similar edits. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:09, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the rev/dels. Midori No Sora asked for them earlier but I don't think the admin has been back on Wikipedia yet. Knitsey (talk) 18:16, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

No problem. I believe I've taken care of everything (including Midori No Sora's talk page), so please do feel free to point me towards anything I've missed @Knitsey. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:22, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Perfect - thanks very much! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 18:23, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

help me

hey help for protect my user page from anonymous edits. thanks Jhonblvk (talk) 18:47, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jhonblvk: You've never had your user page or talk page edited by an anonymous user. We do not protect pages unless there's a demonstrated need. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:49, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes not yet, in the future I don't know yet, please protect my user page. Jhonblvk (talk) 18:52, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jhonblvk: Pages are not pre-emptively protected and there's been no recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:53, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Okay brother Jhonblvk (talk) 18:57, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Congrats on your successful RFA!

I must have missed it closing. Congratulations! QuicoleJR (talk) 20:09, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! Hey man im josh (talk) 20:11, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

My belated congratulations as well. Glad to have had the chance to support. Best wishes. Donner60 (talk) 06:26, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Hey boss

Hi @Hey man im josh, thank you for your good works here, please your attention is needed on article She Must Be Obeyed, please have a look and assist accordingly.

Congratulations on your admin right!!! Cheers man B.Korlah (talk) 14:07, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! But it's not clear what you are asking for at She Must Be Obeyed. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:21, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Question.

I got an email saying that you deleted my Wikipedia page on Prince Anahobe. It was set as a draft as I was still working on it. The email didn't give me a reason as to why it was deleted so could you tell me why? Camillz (talk) 15:42, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Camillz: When you moved the article to draft space, you left behind a redirect (entirely normal, cannot be avoided unless you have WP:Page mover). Redirects from the main space to the draft space are deleted under the R2. Cross-namespace redirects criteria. So, in short, nothing you did was lost, but redirects from the main space to drafts should not exist and are routinely deleted. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:10, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Oh I never noticed thank you! So is there anyway to get the draft back? Camillz (talk) 16:12, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

@Camillz: Nothing was lost, you just moved the draft to Draft:Prince Anahobe. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:13, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok last response from me. Thank you I didn't know how to check. Have a good one Camillz (talk) 16:16, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

No problem, now you know :) Hey man im josh (talk) 16:17, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Draft picks template

Hello, Mr. Admin. (Sorry, I had to do that). I changed a couple of team draft pick templates to a lower case "d" for draft, after seeing tons of templates and very few in caps. Then I did some detective work and saw that you created the 2022 Steelers Draft template, using caps for Draft. So I stopped editing right there, lol. Was there a rule put in place for this that I missed? To change them all to upper case now would take forever. Thanks in advance. John - Bringingthewood (talk) 03:54, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Bringingthewood: I based those off past draft boxes which, if I understand correctly, just follow the capitalization of the draft articles (which do have Draft capitalized). My understanding is that "NFL Draft" is considered a proper name so the word "draft" is capitalized. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:30, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I agree, 100%. But I'm not going there. Too many have lower case and it's something that should be saved for a project, lol. Hope your work here is going as smoothly as possible. As always, I appreciate the response. Bye for now, John Bringingthewood (talk) 22:05, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

My revert on your talk page

Hi Hey man im josh, sorry for this revert. Should I restore it? --WikiUser1234945-- (talk) 17:00, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

You're fine @--WikiUser1234945--. I'd have reverted myself with a ping to you if I was opposed to it. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:01, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

I was right.

Congrats and Request for Advice

Congrats on becoming an admin!^[a] I just missed the closing but I saw you were overwhelmingly voted in. Anyways, I was wandering around this fine encyclopedia, when I saw the articles for review backlog elimination drive.^[b] I was curious on how this exactly works and how much encyclopedia knowledge I need to have. I have done some assessment of ITN articles but I'm not much of an article writer myself. Could I easily learn how to do this and continue on my Wikipedia journey or do I need to gain serious knowledge? ❤History Theorist❤ 04:54, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Hey @HistoryTheorist, I think you definitely could pick it up. I encourage most people to pick an area they're already familiar with at WP:NPPSORT and to go from there. With that said, I think your AfD contributions are lacking. Most permission granters will typically look for contributions at WP:AfD and at WP:AfC as an example of relevant experience. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:31, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I guess I'll work on WP:AfD and do backlog elimination drive stuff later. If I need help, I'll ask you. ❤History Theorist❤ 17:58, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

There will always be more work to be done at NPP @HistoryTheorist, that's simply the nature of things. We usually have about 2 backlog drives a year, so you will be able to participate in due time if you keep at it :) Hey man im josh (talk) 17:59, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Invitation to Cornell study on Wikipedia discussions

Hello Hey man im josh,

I’m reaching out as part of a Cornell University academic study investigating the potential for user-facing tools to help improve discussion quality within Wikipedia discussion spaces (such as talk pages, noticeboards, etc.). We chose to reach out to you because you have been highly active on various discussion pages.

The study centers around a prototype tool, ConvoWizard, which is designed to warn Wikipedia editors when a discussion they are replying to is getting tense and at risk of derailing into personal attacks or incivility. More information about ConvoWizard and the study can be found at our research project page on meta-wiki.

If this sounds like it might be interesting to you, you can use this link to sign up and install ConvoWizard. Of course, if you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message.

If you have any questions or thoughts about the study, our team is happy to discuss! You may direct such comments to me or to my collaborator, Cristian_at_CornellNLP.

Thank you for your consideration.

-- Jonathan at CornellNLP (talk) 18:19, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Jonathan at CornellNLP. Thank you for your interest in me, but my plate is a bit too full at the moment and I don't really have time to get involved in this. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:20, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

No worries at all, thanks for letting us know! For what it's worth, the signup form will remain open for at least a few more months, so if sometime in the near future you end up having more free time you are still welcome to join then. Jonathan at CornellNLP (talk) 18:27, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Your request for adminship

Hi Hey man im josh, I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Congratulations for both your overwhelming, landslide victory and for your place on WP:RFX300 - becoming the fourth-most supported RfA in terms of supports posted is astounding...well done! As always, the administrators' reading list is worth reading and the new admin help pages are most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere on the project. Good luck! Acalamari 14:03, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much @Acalamari! Absolutely insane to me the amount of support I received, I never expected to end up that high on the RFX lists. Today is going to involve a lot of reading. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:04, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

It's a phenomenal level of support! I respect your ability to be humble about such a commanding show of confidence from the community - that attitude will serve you well! :) Acalamari 14:15, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

ALL THE CHICKENS HATCHED!! Congratulations on a job well done! All the best going forward. - John Bringingthewood (talk) 18:31, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Congratulations, Josh! This is overdue, you've been ready to become an admin for a while and I'm glad that it's official. My only advice is to never hesitate to ask for a second opinion on any situation that you are unsure about. I still do that and I've been an admin now for 8 years. No one can be an expert in all areas of the project but I'm sure that you will find your place handling different aspects of admin work. I recommend helping out at WP:REFUND, it's generally a more positive place than many other varieties of administration.

If you find yourself looking for things to do though, we can always use more admins closing deletion discussions if you feel comfortable taking that on. Otherwise, I'm sure I'll run into you reviewing expiring drafts! All the best, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:01, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Liz! You've been so incredibly supportive and helpful to me for as long as I can remember and I cannot say enough positive things about you. I'm big on the belief that nobody can know everything on this site and that it's okay to ask for help, so I'm glad to hear that same sentiment echoed by others. I definitely plan to help out at WP:REFUND. I may help out at WP:RfD at some point, but I don't expect to be closing WP:AfD discussions. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:20, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

About the speedy deletion

The two articles were created by the user who was identified as a sock of LeonChow99/Bagida250 in Chinese Wikipedia's Sockpuppet Investigations, so G5 speedy deletion is appropriate. Billytanghh (talk) 16:03, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Barnstar for thanks

	To the administrators who've been deleting my many user pages as I clear out the chaff: I imagine its tedious work, and thank you for your patience and professionalism!

Thank you for moving my page! :-)

Hi Hey man I'm josh,

Thank you SO much for moving my article to the right name. I really appreciate that. I couldn't figure out how to move it. You seem to know your way around here, and I am brand new (although trying to learn, and do reviews constantly to familiarize myself with all the processes). I have another issue right now I am trying to figure out. joined Wikipedia, because I wanted to try to write researched and factual bios about people that may not generally be highlighted, but that I think have performed tremendous actions and have had impact on other people's lives. For my first attempt to write a bio, I reached out to the person (Brian E Kinsella). He was so kind to send me some photos he said I could use of him. But they were just deleted by a bot. What do I do? I'm not sure you have time to respond, but if you do, that would be so wonderful.

Thank you so much in advance.

Best,

Mwikiforce Mwikiforce (talk) 18:18, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Mwikiforce, you may be better off asking this question at the WP:TEAHOUSE. Unfortunately uploads are not something I feel comfortable giving advice on, as this is an area I'm not very involved in. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:07, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

WP:PERM/NPP

Would you mind working on this chronically backlogged page with your new mop? As an NPP coordinator, I assume you would be good at deciding whether a user should get the perm. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:41, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Hey @QuicoleJR. I do hope to eventually help out there, but for the time being, I don't feel entirely comfortable with granting permissions just yet. HJ Mitchell and @Joe Roe have been doing a good job of staying on top of it lately and I imagine one of them should be getting to it within the next day or two (do not take this as a guarantee though please). Hey man im josh (talk) 19:08, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Protecting a page in response to an AIV report

Congratulations on not only your adminship but also setting a record for most supports (mine included).

When, in response to an AIV report, you decide page protection is the better option (and in that case it was) you can use the "p" argument in the {{AIV}} template ... a decline ("dc") is for situations where you take no action whatsoever for reasons not listed under other arguments (like "nv"). Daniel Case (talk) 04:58, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case thank you so much! But I actually finished with the 4th most supports, per WP:RFX300.

Thank you for the advice, I'll get it right next time. Please do feel free to reach out again if I can be doing anything elae better. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:05, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Well, it was the most supports of any nomination I had !voted in. Daniel Case (talk) 03:27, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Declined: Draft: Brian E. Kinsella

Hello again Hey man im josh,

You where so kind to help me with my first article in the draft review queue: Draft: Brian E. Kinsella. As you know, I worked really hard on making sure I adhered to all the guidelines, but am of course still not a super user or perfect at both reviewing other articles (I reviewed a lot since we wrote last) nor thinking I’m being perfect in my own draft I had submitted. My article was just declined today by User:Johannes Maximilian although other seasoned reviewers than you told me my article looked perfect, and I was in the draft queue listed as a predicted Class-B with no issues page.

I’m a little discouraged of course, because I tried really hard, but not quite ready to give up.

I know you are probably super busy on here, but if you have any time to perhaps look at my article again and provide feedback on what I can improve, I would be so grateful. The assessor only said I was lacking reliable sources, but as you know, I have 28 sources listed, from publications like The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Yahoo! Finance, FOX Business, and more, which I thought was reliable sources.

Thank you in advance for any help on this :-)

Best,

Mwikiforce Mwikiforce (talk) 17:02, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Note: I tagged the draft in question as CSD G11 because it looks like perfectly obvious and blatant UPE. Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 20:23, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

It's absolutely not Johannes Maximilian. You are trolling me around! Everywhere I'm asking for help to get better at this, you are following me and instantly writing inaccurate things about me. I really don't understand what I did that is so noteworthy, other than trying to learn to write on Wikipedia? This is my first article. I'm sorry it's not perfect, but at least I'm trying! Mwikiforce (talk) 00:23, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not usually very active on weekends. It looks like you're getting feedback in a couple of other places already so I'll leave you to that instead of overwhelming you from multiple directions. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:02, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you Hey man I'm josh, I appreciate the note. I haven't actually received any feedback, but I found some great help on IRC.

I've updated my draft, and would love feedback on that. I'm currently updating link refs. based on Johannes Maximilian guidance (the long bullet list on the article itself).

Request for Speedy Delete of Delta Air Lines diarrhea incident

Hi there, I'm not sure if you're the right person to go to regarding this. If there is someone better, please let me know. The author (Busition) of this article (also main contributor) requested it to be deleted on this AfD. I believe this falls under WP:G7. Conyo14 (talk) 01:28, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Conyo14, typically I'm not very comfortable closing an AfD early, but in this case I'll make an exception. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:13, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

I appreciate it. I wouldn't have asked unless I was 100% certain. Conyo14 (talk) 15:11, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

About dispute resolution

Hey Josh! I'm oblighed to tag you about a dispute resolution case, though I don't think youre particularly involved and actually did the right thing anyway. (Your action was un-drafting a bunch of articles I moved to draft space, which was the right call ... but those articles are still a problem.) So the above notice is mostly procedural -- I hope you feel free to decline to participate or to add your two cents, whichever you see fit. -- Mikeblas (talk) 17:13, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for the heads up @Mikeblas. I do think I'm likely not to chime in, unless I'm asked to based on the limited amount of involvement that I had with this issue. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:39, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding! :) -- Mikeblas (talk) 18:11, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

CSD G13s

Hello, Josh,

Now that you're an admin and handling deleting G13s, I thought I'd share that on 10/12, we have a gigantic list of close to 800 drafts due to be deleted. This influx of drafts was due to BD2412's use of AWB which has happened with other editors who use this editing tool. I spoke with BD2412 and they have gone through the list and delayed deletion of some drafts through edits but each draft still needs to be checked which will be time-consuming. Unfortunately, I have a lot going on tomorrow, when many of the drafts "expire" so I hope you can help out. Thanks, in advance, for your assistance. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:39, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

@Liz: I actually spoke on FloridaArmy's user talk page with them and they've postponed those drafts again. Lever the less, I will definitely be working on the list tomorrow :) Hey man im josh (talk) 01:59, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you reviewed

Hello, Hey man im josh. Thank you for your work on Lidia Aviles. User:FuzzyMagma, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

I would wait for the AfD before ticking this as reviewed and make it public. This article is written as promo after all

Hey @FuzzyMagma: It's standard procedure to mark a page as reviewed if sent to AfD. It does not mean that we are endorsing the page, it just means that we are removing it from the queue of pages to be reviewed, as it's undergoing a community review. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:02, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

noted FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:28, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

sorry, I checked the WP:NPP which states Articles considered unsuitable are nominated for deletion or, in certain circumstances, moved to the draft namespace for improvement. Articles considered suitable for inclusion are marked as 'reviewed'. Corrrect me if I am wrong but this means it is not a standard procedure to mark a page as reviewed (suitable for inclusion) if sent to AfD.

I am sure you were not endorsing the page but I just starting patrolling recently, and I think for newbies like me it is good to include senior editors when I make a decision that might contradict theirs, hence why I send my message, so I can have this discussion with you.

PS: sorry for using bold format for words I want to emphasise FuzzyMagma (talk) 07:44, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

@FuzzyMagma I'll respond more thoroughly in a couple hours, but always feel free to question me on what I do. I have a bookmark for this somewhere. Hey man im josh (talk) 10:25, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Hey @FuzzyMagma: See WP:NPPLOG. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:54, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

that is more confusing. Maybe the wording of WP:NPP or WP:NPPLOG need to be revisited. They are not consistent FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:59, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

@FuzzyMagma This is also documented within WP:NPP in the WP:NPPDEL section.

It's consistent because the intro to NPP isn't meant to be exhaustive of all the steps. The later section discussion how to nominate for deletions more fully documents it. (Not saying it couldn't be written better in the lead, most things could be.) For an article that is unsuitable and nominated via AFD, the full process is to nominate them and then mark as reviewed (processes that any singe editor can decline, like PROD or CSD, should not mark it as reviewed). The community will either delete it or decide to keep it, so the NPP job was done.

If your concern, as above, is about making it "public", I don't think you need to worry. Pages with an AFD template on them have the Template:NOINDEX template transcluded, so for pages created fewer than 90 days ago, we will continue to tell search engines to not index the page. Skynxnex (talk) 17:16, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks both @Skynxnex and @Hey man im josh. Tbh having spent more time reviewing, I really think it make sense to tick the article as reviewed to avoid other editors needing to review the same article. Having said that, I think the intro of NPP as used might need better wording to not confuse newbies like myself. FuzzyMagma (talk) 19:33, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Medieval Latin comedy

Did this page have any substantial history? Srnec (talk) 20:27, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

@Srnec: Nothing substantial, but the edit history does show that, in 2013, you changed the page to a redirect and noted the page as having been merged to Elegiac comedy. That appears to match up with this dif. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:30, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

I think the page needs to be restored per WP:ATTREQ and should be tagged with Template:R from merge. —Srnec (talk) 22:59, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh: ping Srnec (talk) 00:10, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

@Liz: Would you be able to take a look at this for me? I'd like to know if you think the redirect should be restored and your expertise would be very much appreciated in this, since I'm still a noobie admin. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:42, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
