Mid week awarding at EotW

You may have noticed that I have begun to give out mid-week awards. This is to lessen the time that the nomination "sits in the Queue waiting". Not too long ago there were 17 nominations in the queue. When this happens the supportive numbers/figures become outdated. The next three nominations are yours from February. If I give one out on next Wednesday, by Sunday May 10, we will have moved into March nominations. Hope this works for you. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 12:40, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey I've got no problem with it @Buster7. I trust how you want to manage the process and if we can shoehorn in recognition of more users throughout the year, then I'm alllll for it. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:42, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Possible sockpuppetry

Hello Hey man im josh, I'm just wondering if it would be possible for you to look into a current deletion discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2024 Alaska Air Fuel Douglas C-54 crash, as it appears to me that a user, User:GeekyAviation, is using two accounts to vote for a keep consensus, 2605:8D80:402:704F:E038:5250:7DD4:7434

Both him and the IP have similar writing style:

1. Talk page: anyone with an autoconfirmed account can nominate an article for deletion but for a flight like this that is a huge aircraft; Douglas C-54D, including 2 deaths, i personally think is notable. There is plenty of coverage around the internet. GeekyAviation (talk) 02:32, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

2. Deletion discussion: * Keep - I mean its a cargo jet, of course it only has a few on board but this is a huge airplane, it is very uncommon and has made a lot of coverage around the internet WP:Notability. This is just my opinion that this should stay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:8D80:402:704F:E038:5250:7DD4:7434 (talk) 18:42, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

3. Deletion discussion Keep - Like the IP said above, it is uncommon for a plane like a Douglas C-54 to crash. i understand there is only two fatalities but its also a cargo jet carrying lots of stuff. Its one of those crashes that many people may think isn't notable, but is. WP:GNG WP:Notability — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeekyAviation (talk • contribs) 01:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

This also was the IP address that was constantly removing the notability template on 2024 Alaska Air Fuel Douglas C-54 crash, and it appears to me that both of these accounts are tied. Both of them use the term cargo jet, both of them didn't sign their replies and their writing styles, overall, look similar.

Thank you and have a nice rest of your day. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 01:45, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

you are really an ignorant person, it shows. Firstly you are going around the whole aviation world of wikipedia and making unnecessary changes. I've been on wikipedia for a good amount of time and i have a good understanding what should stay and what should not. You are also an arrogant type of person on what edits i make like organizing the AFD you made. Speaking of AFD, you are abusing your power of autoconfirmed and making deletion articles all over. I agree on some, not all. Its also ironic how you make such a professional note to an admin knowing you are a sockpuppetry suspect aswell. GeekyAviation (talk) 02:02, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
You've been on wikipedia since the 29th of April... Aviationwikiflight (talk) 02:10, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Drafts, PRODs and stuff

Hello, Josh,

You might have noticed that we have a higher than average number of drafts expiring today. I did a little investigating and it's due to a big AFC backlog drive last November. So, we are likely to have more than our current average of ~150 expiring drafts/day but I can't imagine there will be any higher numbers than today's 400+ drafts until we get to the end of the month. But especially when our regular editors are off-line, the extra help is always appreciated and it looks like you were busy from early this morning (at least according to Pacific time!). I'm not sure if you are also at work or school but your help is very welcome when we get these days with a higher level of activity. Many thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 17:47, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Liz, I actually was involved in the backlog drive and, once I saw the deluge of drafts and the spacing of their timing, I quickly realized it had to do with that backlog drive. I'll definitely be around to help out with it and help to take a little bit of pressure off of you. More than happy to help and always appreciate you reaching out! Hey man im josh (talk) 17:49, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Scottish government

I don't know if there's any connection here, but just after you blocked the editor on the 2024 Scottish government crisis article a new account registered which has so far only edited the same thing. One of the edits here changed the article's lead section to a comment which has a very similar writing style to the previous editor's replies on talk. Might be nothing, but thought I'd make you aware. Thanks for your time today as well. Cheers—Tim O'Doherty (talk) 23:12, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty: I've protected the page for now. Definitely suspicious but I'm not an expert with sock puppets. May be worth a report at WP:SPI. Hey man im josh (talk) 23:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
Cheers. Not an expert either: might have a look though. Thanks again for your time today—Tim O'Doherty (talk) 23:20, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Josh for reviewing the page 1967-68 Inter Milan season. HugoAcosta9 (talk) 00:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Shakespopi - 2024

Hello Josh! How are you doing? Pls I want to know why you placed Unreliable source tag on Shakespopi. Any article you feel is unreliable, you help edit; That's it.. Thank You. And this article have already been reviews before. ] 2RDD (talk) 17:48, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

@2RDD: Any article you feel is unreliable, you help edit; That's it.. – This may be your point of view, but this is not true, this is the reason that the tags exist, to call attention to the issue. Just because someone calls attention to an issue does not mean they are responsible for fixing said issue. As for being marked as reviewed, I'm the one who did so, and just because an marked has been marked as reviewed does not mean that sources used are as reliable as they should be. The unreliable sources used are to do with BellaNaija and Instagram, while Pulse is known to be mostly gossip or paid publications. It does not mean the article needs to be deleted, but it means the article could be supported with better references. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:06, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
@Hey man im josh: I feel You. Thank You 2RDD (talk) 18:17, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

About the redirect page

Hi my friend, how are you? I noticed that you canceled my request to delete a redirect page known as «Wirt (Over the Garden Wall)», I want to delete it to create an article about the subject because it is popular and need an article about it, not a redirect page, so why you canceled my request? And thank you my friend🙂. علي العالم (talk) 13:41, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Your request does not meet any of the possible speedy deletion rationales listed at WP:CSD. You are welcome to start a draft at WP:AFC and submit it for review or to start an article from the redirect. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:42, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
No my friend, it meets a reason, which is the 10th reason in «Wikipedia
Redirects for discussion». علي العالم (talk) 13:54, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Rationale listed at WP:RFD#DELETE, which are common reasons for deletion but are not codified policy, is not the same thing as WP:CSD, which refers to criteria for speedy deletions. The rationale you're referencing does not apply to speedy deletions. You would need to nominate the redirect for deletion at WP:RFD in order to try to use #10 of WP:RFD#DELETE. The best way is to start an article from the redirect or to start a draft at WP:AFC that can overwrite the redirect when the draft is completed. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Can I create an article about this subject without do any edit in the redirect page? علي العالم (talk) 14:00, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
That's typically why you would start an article at WP:AFC, or, to be more specific, Draft:Wirt (Over the Garden Wall). That way, when completed, the draft can be moved over the redirect. When a draft is completed, redirects qualify for G6 speedy deletion. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Ahhh I understand you, so I need to create this draft, and after that delete the redirect page? And sorry for annoyed you🙂. علي العالم (talk) 14:06, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
No worries. Yes, if you create a draft first, that's when it makes the most sense for us to delete the redirect. Redirects are for useful search terms to topics that are relevant to that search term. In this case, it wouldn't be helpful for us to delete the redirect if we didn't have anything to replace it with, which is why it doesn't currently qualify for speedy deletion. If we have a draft ready to move there, then it does. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:08, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi friend! I wrote a draft about the subject, you can see it, is that good? And thank you friend. علي العالم (talk) 16:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

X3 deletions

FYI I've undone several of your X3 deletions because X3 requires that the redirect [not] contain substantive page history (e.g. from a merge), which you don't appear to have checked for. I also undeleted 365(number)36(movie), as it survived RfD and hence can't be speedy deleted. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:05, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up @Pppery, I appreciate you taking care of this. I had hundreds of tabs open yesterday in the process and while I did try to check them I clearly made some mistakes. I'll have to move a bit slower or find a better way to go about it, possibly with a quarry query... hmm... anyways, that part is a me problem. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:07, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
I have undeleted Humud Dakhil Humud Sa'id Al-((Jad'an (previously survived RfD) and Josh Taylor(Neighbours) (has prior article history) from your most recent batch deletion. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:38, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Damn it! I don't understand how I missed the RfD in the page history of the first redirect, since I'm checking the page history of every redirect with more than 1 revision... I see the mistake I made in the second one. I'm just going to take a break from X3s because I'm clearly going too fast and making avoidable mistakes. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:40, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Requesting project space undeletion of 2024 NACAC Championships

Hi @Hey man im josh, thanks for your help cleaning up the encyclopedia. I noticed you deleted 2024 NACAC Championships because it was created by User:GoOKC who was banned for copyright violations and socking.

I was wondering if you could undelete it and move it to WP:WikiProject Athletics/Drafts/2024 NACAC Championships. This way, once the event happens in June we can easily move it back to mainspace, and we don't have to duplicate the work. Last I checked, the article did not have any copyright violations.

Thank you, --Habst (talk) 16:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

@Habst: Done. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:08, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks

Greetings Josh, thank you for reviewing the 1993-94 AC Fiorentina season. Best regards.HugoAcosta9 (talk) 17:31, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

For that detailed analysis regarding the circumstances leading upto my block. It was indeed very helpful :) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 17:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Delicious! I might actually barbeque some burgers up tonight now that I'm thinking about it... Thanks @The Herald. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:51, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Beckham trade to Miami

You said on the page for Odell Beckham Jr. that I cannot edit the page until either the team or Beckham himself confirms the trade, and that I cannot edit it because the trade is just gossip. What if the League itself confirms the trade? FoxX 07 (talk) 20:02, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

@FoxX 07: That'd be fine. The whole idea is to avoid any news source that says "reported", or, "agreed to terms", because these are unofficial and VERY often end up not panning out. We just want to make sure it comes from an official source, which is usually the player, the team, the player's agent, etc.. Keep in mind that there are often articles on NFL.com that include the word "reported", which, in essence, just makes it gossip. WP:SPORTSTRANS has a good deal of information on this. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:04, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Good point. Thanks for the response. FoxX 07 (talk) 20:05, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

May Backlog Drive

Hello - I had attempted to participate in the May backlog drive and inadvertently created more work for admins with mis-application of WP:A7 tags. What do you recommend as best action to return to NPP to contribute to the effort? TRL (talk) 19:16, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

@Trlovejoy: I usually encourage people to start out at WP:NPPSORT and focus on the areas they're most comfortable with. Once familiar and comfortable with the process again, then branch out to other areas you want to take a shot at. As for proving yourself if you want to join NPP, the best course of action would be to participate at WP:AFC, WT:AFC, and by successfully and correctly adding CSD tags.

Green Bay Packers draft picks (1970–present)

I am working on Green Bay Packers draft picks (1970–present) and wanted to get your thoughts on what should be called out from a color perspective in the key. I am thinking of dropping Pro Bowls/All-Pros and going with my standard Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame. I am also contemplating add Rookie of the Year, similar to what I did for List of Green Bay Packers first-round draft picks. Thoughts? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:16, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: I'm tempted to keep it to major awards, avoiding the annoyance of dealing with all-pro selectors altogether. It's been a busy week and I usually do very little editing on the weekends, but I absolutely intend on taking a look and giving feedback when I can! Hey man im josh (talk) 00:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Move cleanups

Hey man, thanks for the nearly 200 Championship case-fixing moves you did on April 30. But you didn't do any of the cleanup (as far as I've noticed anyway). I just did this edit as an example of what's needed (or you could do differently). If you have JWB or some such tool to help, it should go fast. For me to work on them by hand would be too slow. Dicklyon (talk) 04:00, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Just a note

Hey, Josh,

I hope you had a good weekend. With the AFC backlog drive, a screw-up where SDZeroBot wasn't showing all of the pages that needed to be deleted (go look at User:SDZeroBot/G13 eligible for the past few days!) and Explicit being gone from the project for awhile now, the expiring drafts really piled up into the hundreds since I've also been busy taking care of my mom who is on hospice care right now. But we have a new editor helper who tagged hundreds of them with CSD tags this afternoon and I believe we are all caught up.

So, I'm leaving this note to catch you up on what's been happening but also to alert you that, at least for the U.S. (and Canada?), the time changed for daylight savings time/standard time on November 5th so we can no longer go by the time of the last edit in the page history, we need to use SDZeroBot's UTC time listing. Sometimes when I'm working fast, I just been looking at page histories to make sure I'm deleting drafts at the right time but now you have to add an hour to the time of the last edit. Perhaps you are smarter than I and knew this already but I thought I'd mention it since it did change today.

That's it. Take care, Liz Read! Talk! 03:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Liz, thanks for heads up. I'm really sorry to hear about your mother, I know how caring for someone can be. I'll be paying attention to my UTC clock that I have at all times and I'll be doing my best to keep helping out with it. Hopefully we'll stay on top of it without Explicit, but if you ever need a bit of a break from it, I'll be around to take care of anything you've missed/left in the mornings when I get on :) Hey man im josh (talk) 13:42, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
