"I can't see a thing without my glasses!" ~ Some cartoon character, maybe Homer

I never stopped by to say this, but I value your smart use of coding exploitation at the Glasses AFD last year. But, alas, four people think I'm funnier. Not sorry. Panini!🥪 05:18, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can confirm, my AFD was much funnier. :-) —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 21:56, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pythoncoder, I recently drafted an article on Pytest, the most popular testing framework in Python, and submitted it for WP:AfC review. Though I'm allowed to move it to Main space directly, I opted for WP:AfC because it is my first article in this area and it's best that more experienced editors do a review to ensure its quality. Would you have time to take a look? Thanks. Thomas Meng (talk) 17:47, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging pages for G13 speedy deletion

Hello, Pythoncoder,

Please look over WP:G13 so you can see what is required for User pages to be eligible for CSD G13 status. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:18, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the pages I nominated are G13-eligible because they are userspace drafts with "no content except the article wizard placeholder text", per the third subcategory of G13. I made a userspace draft on User:PythoncoderAlt/sandbox/Userspace draft, using Help:userspace draft and it created a page with similar text. Then I found an older version of the page skeleton and the article wizard placeholder text was exactly the same as the pages I nominated. Am I missing something? —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 05:07, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Let me know if this is a stupid question, but why are you deleting those articles anyway? Would it be helpful if I nominated a bunch of sandboxes for deletion? Talib1101 (talk) 00:40, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You should only nominate pages (including sandboxes) for speedy deletion if you're sure they meet one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion. Without knowing anything else about these sandboxes, I'm thinking the answer is no. I nominated them because I was quite confident that they met the third part of CSD G13 ("no content except the article wizard placeholder text") but now I'm not so sure. This is the second time I've gotten a message about these sorts of nominations so I'm thinking I'll avoid G13 nominations of userspace drafts for a while. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 01:49, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, to be clear, there are no stupid questions when it comes to editing Wikipedia. Possible exception: “Should I vandalize Page X?” — obviously, the answer to that one is no. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 01:52, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism

Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [1] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:26, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Hello

Would you mind taking a look at this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Alberto_Caballero_(astronomer) Thank you Iberastro (talk) 22:32, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve gone ahead and submitted your draft for review. It looks like you were missing a bit of code so I added it to your page. I don’t have time to do a full review right now, so I or another reviewer will take a look at it sometime in the next few months.
Also, how did you find my talkpage? It looks like you just created your account so I’m curious about how new users find their way around. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 02:01, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I found you in the list of inclusionists :) Iberastro (talk) 02:34, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Angry Tomatoes (video game)

I just googled the game (the one by Brad Howard) and could find no reliable sources other than the app’s own information and user-submitted reviews.[2] [3] MegaMack02 (talkcontribs) 03:08, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That means it's not notable enough to deserve a Wikipedia article. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 03:13, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
