== Carollo Engineers Questions ==

Hello Liz,

I hope your week is going well!

The page Carollo Engineers was deleted back in January, I was wondering if you could help me understand why.

Reaching out to you because it was noted that you deleted the page.

Here is a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Carollo_engineers&action=edit&redlink=1

Can you help me please? I would love to reinstate this page and resolve any issues it may have contained

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best,

ReactExpert

== Request for Draft mode: Dai Ying (producer) ==

Hi Liz,

hope all is well.

The page Dai Ying (producer) has been deleted based on consensus.

I've since found new sources of news that will address the notability issue.

The AFD team has asked me to approach you about the page.

Can you help me please?

Many thanks.

== IBAN questions ==

Hey Liz. I have a discussion listed at [[User talk:Alex 21#IBAN]] concerning an IBAN you enforced on an editor against myself. Could you provide me advice on what to do when the editor is violating that IBAN, please? Many thanks. -- [[User:Alex 21|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#02B">Alex_</span><span style="font-size:smaller;color:#02B">21</span>]]<sub>&nbsp;[[User talk:Alex 21|<span style="font-size:xx-small;color:#009">TALK</span>]]</sub> 22:46, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
:Hello, [[User:Alex 21|Alex 21]],
:This was a definite violation so I posted a warning at [[User talk:DoctorWhoFan91#IBan]]. I expect they might file an appeal of the IBan but they will have to go through [[WP:AN]] to do that where you will have an opportunity to comment. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 03:52, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

:: Hi Liz. In one of DoctorWhoFan91's original ANI threads, you wrote you would "definitely stay away from any problems [DWF91] might have in the future since [DWF91] disliked what [you] offer", adding that you will "go back to when [DWF91 and you] didn't know each other". I agree with Tamzin's decision to block and hope there will be no reprise down the line, but wanted to remind you of one of your last exchanges with DWF91. — '''''[[User:ImaginesTigers|ImaginesTigers]]''''' ([[User talk:ImaginesTigers|talk]]∙[[Special:Contributions/ImaginesTigers|contribs]]) 22:19, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
:::[[User:ImaginesTigers|ImaginesTigers]], I'll have to reread what I wrote back in February. My intention at the time was not to communicate with this editor in the future but this recent action was an IBan violation not a noticeboard discussion. I think it was within my administrative resposibilities to post a warning to them and I did warn the editor instead of imposing a block which another admin did subsequently. But since I was reminded by this editor that they preferred not to communicate with me, I'll keep my distance unless action is necessary in my capacity as an administrator. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 17:13, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

:::: Hi @[[User:Liz|Liz]]. Hope you're well. You frame things very differently from me. Instead of "[DWF91] preferred not to communicate with me", I suggest "he reminded me that I repeatedly told him I'd stay away from future noticeboard discussions regarding him", which signals slightly more hostility. I don't think it is a unique message in this respect.
:::: For example, the message you left on his talk page — {{tq|in future, I'll just ignore your posts on ANI and other noticeboards and let other editors and admins comment on them. I think it's unlikely but maybe one of them will put in the time to analyze them sufficiently to your standards}} – could be described very literally as an "[[Wikipedia:Passive aggression|expression of negative feelings, resentment, and aggression in an unassertive passive way (as through procrastination and stubbornness)]]". 
:::: This is my first time experiencing a noticeboard and it has been a terrible reveal. No admin responded to any diff provided by DWF91 or any other participant who left statements. The only admin who requested diffs did not respond when they were provided. Wikipedia's dispute noticeboards are certainly unique among social media sites, but I don't think any other site would redirect [[WP:CESSPIT]] to theirs. — '''''[[User:ImaginesTigers|ImaginesTigers]]''''' ([[User talk:ImaginesTigers|talk]]∙[[Special:Contributions/ImaginesTigers|contribs]]) 22:48, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::What do you need from me? I don't want to rehash old arguments from noticeboards, especially when I've been instructed not to involve myself with another editor.

:::::: Hi @[[User:Liz|Liz]]. You summoned me here by pinging me.

{{Outdent|::::::::}}
I'm responding because you said I "don't seem to want to talk". I replied to the ping because I wanted to talk. If one makes a complaint to a company, the complainant doesn't usually have much to do until the company gets back to them. To summarise:
* You ask what I wanted.
* I request a response (I suppose the basic options would be explain, defend or apologise).
* You say that you pinged me because you were responding to me; this seems off topic.
If your next response is about the allegations I made, I will respond. If your next response is about something else (e.g., me – like your last), I will recognise you don't want to discuss and not respond. Please feel free to message me on Discord if you'd prefer to discuss privately. — '''''[[User:ImaginesTigers|ImaginesTigers]]''''' ([[User talk:ImaginesTigers|talk]]∙[[Special:Contributions/ImaginesTigers|contribs]]) 00:54, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi Liz! Could you remove my New Page Reviewer right?

== Growth Newsletter #33 ==

<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">
[[File:Growth_team_logo_-_Icon_only.svg|right|frameless|class=skin-invert]]

''A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.''

=== [[mw:Growth/Constructive activation experimentation|Constructive Activation Experiments]] ===
This year, the Growth team is exploring ways to help more new account holders start editing—and do so constructively, meaning their edits are not reverted. Our latest experiments include:

* '''Gradual rollout of "Add a Link" at English Wikipedia''' – We are gradually introducing the "Add a Link" structured task to newcomers at English Wikipedia ([[phab:T386029|T386029]]). This serves as a natural A/B test to measure its impact on activation, retention, and revert rates ([[phab:T382603|T382603]]). Previous experiments on pilot wikis showed that "Add a Link" increases newcomer participation, particularly by helping them make constructive (non-reverted) edits. 
* '''Testing in-article suggestions for first-time editors''' – Many new account holders want to contribute but don’t know where to start. To help, we’re piloting a feature that surfaces structured task suggestions directly in an article’s read view for brand-new editors ([[phab:T385343|T385343]]). These suggestions will appear for logged-in users with no edits, providing a clear, simple way to begin contributing that is surfaced while they read.

=== [[mw:Help:Growth/Tools/Community updates module|Community Updates]] ===

Newcomers often struggle to find their place in Wikipedia’s collaborative environment. While experienced editors easily discover events like edit-a-thons and writing campaigns, newcomers often miss out. 

* To bridge this gap, we launched the '''Community Updates''' module for the Newcomer Homepage. This module is disabled by default, allowing Community Admins to decide how (or if) to use it. 
* If your community hosts events, consider setting up a Community Update to engage and welcome newcomers! [[diffblog:2025/02/12/community-updates-module-connecting-newcomers-to-your-initiatives|Learn more on Diff]]. To configure, visit Special:CommunityConfiguration.

=== [[mw:Community Configuration|Community Configuration]] ===
Community Configuration is now available across all wikis, including non-Wikipedia projects ([[phab:T383910|T383910]]). Community Configuration allows admins to customize various features like Growth features and Automoderator for their communities, and more recently the Babel extension now allows admins to modify configuration:

* '''Babel customization''' – Admins can now configure Babel settings ([[phab:T374348|T374348]]), including category naming, automatic category creation, and more. See an example on [[commons:Special:CommunityConfiguration/Babel|Wikimedia Commons]].
* '''Upcoming configurable features''' – Projects exploring community configuration options include: '''[[metawiki:Incident_Reporting_System|Incident Reporting System]]''' ([[phab:T374113|T374113]]) and '''[[phab:T384444|Cite backlinks]]''' ([[phab:T378807|T378807]]).

=== [[mw:Growth/Feature summary#Mentorship 2|Mentorship]] ===
Mentors play a key role in guiding new editors. If you’re interested in mentoring, or turning mentorship on at your wiki, check out the [[mw:Growth/FAQ#Mentorship|Mentorship FAQ]]

* Starting February 17, 100% of new accounts at English Wikipedia will be assigned a mentor ([[phab:T384505|T384505]]). 
* At Spanish Wikipedia, on 50% of newcomers get a mentor. Experienced contributors are encouraged to [[:es:Especial:Gestionar_mentores|join mentorship]] so that Spanish Wikipedia can provide a mentor to all new users.

=== Looking Ahead ===

In the coming months, we will continue balancing maintenance work—such as deprecating EditGrowth Config ([[phab:T367574|T367574]]) and migrating Statslib ([[phab:T359352|T359352]]) — with user-facing improvements that support new editors and foster the next generation of contributors.

== A preliminary note on a Wikipedia:REFUND/G13 request, and a request for your opinion   ==

{{reply to|Liz|MaxnaCarta|DreamRimmer bot II}} 

Hi Liz.

This is about [[Draft:The Trauma Cleaner: One Woman's Extraordinary Life in Death, Decay & Disaster]]

* That draft was created on 5 April 2024
* The most recent update of the draft was on 2 September 2024
* You deleted the draft under the on 2 March 2025 following the [[WP:G13]] speedy deletion criterion.
* I am considering a WP:REFUND/G13 undeletion request

OK, so far, so good, right? 

Nope. Given that I write a lot about Australian literature and Australian law in articlespace, I don't think I could make this request with an open mind, without "[[:apprehended bias]]" on my part. 

I seek your opinion about this draft. Does it meet [[WP:NBOOK]]? Are the issues raised at [[Sandra Pankhurst]] relevant here?

My apologies if I am bothering your very busy self with very [[de minimis]] things here

== Category: Comanche Nation people ==

@[[User:Liz|Liz]], I have recently been working on categorization of Native American people, an area of the encyclopedia that badly needs improvement. I removed the deletion tag on [[:Category:Comanche Nation people|Comanche Nation people]], and began populating this Category. I know you are super busy, but was wondering if you could ping me before deleting the Cats for people of the various tribes of Native Americans people. Many thanks in advance! [[User:Netherzone|Netherzone]] ([[User talk:Netherzone|talk]]) 18:02, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
:Hello, [[User:Netherzone|Netherzone]],
:Well, "speedy" deletion for categories is a misnomer, it's not speedy at all. If a category is empty, it is tagged for CSD C1 speedy deletion but then it sits for 7 days before deletion is considered. This is because often categories can be temporarily empty or be "emptied out of process". We need to tag the empty categories to start the 7 day clock but you don't have to worry about them being deleted immediately. I think 7 days should be long enough to straighten out any problems that arise when you are recategorizing articles and categories. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 18:07, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

The now closed discussion was going to be an undecidable mess.
I foresaw every closer just scratching xyr head at that one, not least over which articles were even being nominated.
The re-done nomination has a clear list, with all of the articles tagged, and all of the nominated articles sharing a clear commonality.
I'm just about to prod the participants into trying to be specific, but at least they are discussing the articles more than the process this time around.
I'm holding back on the meridians, to see how well this goes with the parallels.
Mixing them together was going to be problematic, too, as a couple of people had already pointed out.

Especially in matters that are related to the ani thread in early feb. [[User:DoctorWhoFan91|DWF91]] ([[User talk:DoctorWhoFan91#top|talk]]) 16:40, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello Liz, sorry for bothering you. Unfortunately, all the [[WP:ROPE]] given to [[User:PayamAvarwand]] has proved futile, which unfortunately was expected, as they had earlier once again refused to read this sites policies [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ahvaz#Recent_edits], just after the second ANI thread last month [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1179#PayamAvarwand]. They are once again altering sourced information [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bakhtiari_people&diff=prev&oldid=1280316444], (eg altered the info sourced to the [[Brill Publishers|Brill]]-published Karimi & Maghsoodi 2013, even removing the citation itself).

== Southern African Tour issue: intro section ==

@ [[User:Hey man im josh]]

@ [[User:GiantSnowman]]

Hello administrators:

Within the past couple years [[User:Jimmymci234]] and I have collaborated to create seasonal calendars for the [[Southern African Tour]], a golfing organization. We have created all the calendars between the inaugural [[1971–72 Southern Africa Tour|1971–72]] season and the [[1999–2000 Southern Africa Tour|1999–2000]] season. We agreed on much but disagreed on the content of the introductory section. I thought a full paragraph was necessary while Jimmy thought it should be limited to one sentence. We were [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimmymci234&oldid=1187356718#Southern_Africa_Tour_calendars:_final_issues unable] to resolve [[User talk:Jimmymci234#SA intros|this matter]] and [[User talk:Jimmymci234#SA intros again|I would like administrators]] to help us form a consensus.

Regards,

[[User:Chief disambiguator|Chief disambiguator]] ([[User talk:Chief disambiguator|talk]]) 21:10, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

:Golf isn't my thing, but a full introductory wouldn't be harmful and it's not like that's a well known enough tournament that a preamble would be unnecessary. [[User:Hey man im josh|Hey man im josh]] ([[User talk:Hey man im josh|talk]]) 14:42, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:: [[User:Hey man im josh|Hey man im josh]], thank you very much for your response. I feel like I would need an opinion from at least one more administrator to acheive consensus though. If the administrators listed above or other admins like [[User:Eagles247]] or [[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao]] could respond that would be great!

:Hello, [[User:EF5|EF5]],
:I'm not sure that I know the full story here but apparently, this IP editor has frequently socked? I'm concerned that editors might be preoccupied with trying to anticipate a future sockpuppet appearance instead of doing constructive work on this project. It seems like a waste of editors' time and an unhealthy focus to be worried about a blocked editor. It could violate "outing" guidelines as well. And it's just plain creepy. It's giving them too much power over how an editor spends their time here and, who knows, the IP editor might have moved on and not care about Wikipedia any longer.
:I recommend no editor in good standing chronicle anyone's movements off-Wikipedia on talk pages here or it could lead to negative consequences for the "stalker".

== Zyter TruCare ==

Hi Liz, I was wondering if I might be able to ask for your help in creating an article for the digital health tech company Zyter TruCare. I have [[user:Lauren_at_L_Strategies/Zyter TruCare| a draft posted in my userspace]] for your convenience. My COI, as declared [[user:Lauren_at_L_Strategies|on my userpage]], prevents me from creating this page myself. I look forward to your help and potential collaboration. Thank you! [[User:Lauren at L Strategies|Lauren at L Strategies]] ([[User talk:Lauren at L Strategies|talk]]) 17:05, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

:Hello {{u|Lauren at L Strategies}}. Liz is probably busier than most editors. I have taken a look at your draft. Unfortunately, the references in the draft and any other sources that I could find online do not support a conclusion that the topic of Zyter TruCare is eligible for a standalone article. This is because of Wikipedia's stringent limitations on new articles on companies, as per the [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|guideline on the notability of companies]], which aims to protect Wikipedia from gaming of the rules by marketing and public relations professionals, and ultimately to protect Wikipedia from being used by companies to promote themselves (including simply to "tell the world they exist", and similar, more innocuous-seeming goals). Specifically, the sources are not [[WP:SUBSTANTIAL]]. Routine industry news, market intelligence reports that do not discuss the subject in depth, announcements of non-notable awards, and similar are not sources of sufficiently high quality for Wikipedia.

== Delinking ==

Hi Liz. After noticing this happen [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_internet_chess_platforms&curid=35616815&diff=1282690845&oldid=1282673822 again] on the same page I pseudo-reverted earlier: Please, I beg thee, look at the list before delinking. :) Back when I did more list maintenance, admins indiscriminately delinking after deletion regularly made my life harder. So many lists are lists of notable examples, such that when an article is deleted as not being notable, it should be removed. The "what links here" and other tools make red links easy to find in such lists and remove, but when someone comes by and unlinks it, not only does it not improve the article, it makes those items harder to find.

== Deletion Question ==

Hi Liz, I hope you're doing well!

I created a category called Biomedical Research yesterday; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Biomedical_Research

The idea here is to link it to lab techniques, fields, and concepts that can be applied within different relevant research fields, and make info more connected and accessible. I created the page (new here! wasn't sure it would even work) but got busy with work and haven't started the linking just yet.

I saw it's been tagged for auto-deletion... Is this because it's empty, or for a different reason? Will work on starting to fill it as soon as I can. I've gone through articles and categories that are adjacent in nature, and haven't yet found anything that specifically addresses the need I've described above, so I don't believe it'd be redundant once created.

Thank you for taking the time to moderate and help! [[User:Shmigley|Shmigley]] ([[User talk:Shmigley|talk]]) 03:08, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm new to wiki and I understand the strictness and accuracy this community requires, I had created sandbox for my own fun and wanted to change the title but not released to the public and should only be visible to friends I send links to.

== New Draft ==

Hello. 

I had a doubt regarding creating a particular article. Would be really helpful if you could just resolve my confusion.

The thing is that today I tried to create a draft for a new article titled "Avijit Sen". But it happens that some other user had created a draft with the same title earlier. But due to no editing for six months, the draft has been deleted.

So, is it okay for me if I create a new draft now and then submit it later? I hope its no way violating any policy regarding creating new drafts after a draft by some other user has been deleted due to no edit for six months?

Thanks

==[[Closed (poker)]]==
I was looking at [[User talk:Conversion script]], as one does, and noticed this nomination.

I read the Afd and I was going to redirect the page to [[Glossary_of_poker_terms#C]] but I thought I'd check the term was included.  The headword is there, but it refers the reader to the now deleted article.

Can the content be added to the glossary, please, and the page undeleted (for copyright reasons) and redirected to the section, or a new anchor.

It's probably a good idea to check "what links here" before deleting a page.

All the best: ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]''<small> 10:35, 4 April 2025 (UTC).</small><br />

:Hello, [[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]],
:In this case, I was just closing an AFD discussion where this term was the subject being discussed. All closers do is close discussions and we rely on our tool, XFDcloser, to handle the article, talk page and redirect deletions, to remove red links and other details involved an article deleted through an AFD. Perhaps the AFD nominator should have checked the "What links here" page link but it's not the responsibility of the closer to follow up and check every mention of an article title on the project. At least, I don't know of any discussion closers who do this. If any of my talk page stalkers know of an admin who goes to these lengths after an AFD closure, please mention them here. 
:As for your requests, I'll consider them today and tomorrow. Alternatively, if you think the closure of [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Closed (poker)]] was incorrect or you want it overturned, you can file an appeal at [[Wikipedia:Deletion review]]. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 19:58, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

== Assistance with disruptive editing ==

Hi there. In Commons, I created a [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Buildings_and_structures_on_the_Iran_National_Heritage_List Category for Buildings and structures on the Iran National Heritage List], to simply add those cultural heritage monuments that are on the [[Iran National Heritage List]]. An editor, [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Orijentolog Orijentolog], without discussion, deleted the Commons category and commented on [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Rangasyd#Iran-related_categories my talk page] "...please don't open or change Iran-related categories any more...." which I though was really vague. I tried to enter into discussion with the user to understand their motivations; and I restored the category, as it had been deleted without consensus. An edit war erupted. I added; the user deleted, etc. And the user then commented, "'''Stop making duplicate categories''', or I'll report you." Again, I asked the user to explain; again, no answer. What do you suggest that I do in order to resolve the matter, with consensus, or does it require an Admin to assist? Many thanks.

== Kinetic term page ==

Hi Liz,

I noticed that for some reason the [[kinetic term]] page was deleted, with the reason given that "there is not such thing" as a kinetic term, and its really only a case of kinetic energy. This is false. A kinetic term is a well known type of term in quantum field theory, and not having a page on it is not good. The fact that the page didn't have citations is, well, a problem of the page, not the topic. I can't seem to be able to find the discussion on why the page was deleted, so I don't know what other arguments were provided. 

[[User:OpenScience709|OpenScience709]] ([[User talk:OpenScience709|talk]]) 09:09, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hello, [[User:OpenScience709|OpenScience709]],
:I saw the message from Johnjbarton requesting an article that was PROD'd to be restored so I have done so. For Proposed deletions (PRODs), an editor can just tag an article with their rationale for its deletion, there is no discussion. Any editor who objects to it can remove the PROD tag or raise the issue on the article talk page and the article is not deleted. As for the deletion rationale for this article, you can look at the last edit by Johnjbarton in the page history to see what his reasons were. As an admin who reviews PROD'd articles, we are supposed to carry out the deletion as long a rationale is provided that isn't nonsense and there are no objections to the proposed deletion which is what occurred in this case. But if objections are voiced later, which is what also happened here, we restore the article.
:Part of the deletion rationale was because the article was unreferenced so I hope you can spend some time improving the article and finding appropriate citations that show it is a term that is used in quantum field theory.

== [[Miss Teen USA 1986]] ==

Hi there, you deleted this article after a PROD but I wasn't around to notice it.  If you look at my [[Miss Teen USA 1983]], [[Miss Teen USA 1984]] and [[Miss Teen USA 1985]] edits you'll see that there are actually plenty of articles to show notability.  I was hoping you'd be able to restore it so I could improve it and add references?  (fwiw, I'm actually the creator/editor of Pageantupdate.info and yes it definitely shouldn't count as a source!)

== Kinetic term ==

Hi Liz. It seems our efforts to clean up were a bit to efficient :-(. 

On March 30 I set PROD on [[Kinetic term]], today April 4 you deleted, and also on that day @[[User:OpenScience709|OpenScience709]] presented a solid case for notability. This term, which sounded like a shorthand for "kinetic energy term" to me and another editor, has a specific meaning within the field of "quantum field theory" and would likely be notable on that grounds. (Of course we got into this because the article was well below the bar for making its case but I assume that OpenScience709 will fix this issue if we undo the delete.)

Would you be willing to restore or should we go for [[Requests for undeletion]]?

Thanks! [[User:Johnjbarton|Johnjbarton]] ([[User talk:Johnjbarton|talk]]) 17:36, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

== Restoring the content of a deleted article ==

Hi, I am contacting about the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Kokotajlo (AI researcher)|deletion of the article on Daniel Kokotajlo]]. The article was deleted due to [[WP:BLP1E]]. But there has been more news coverage since, notably with [https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/technology/ai-futures-project-ai-2027.html this New York Times article]. He was also listed in [https://time.com/7012881/daniel-kokotajlo/ this Time article] as one of the 100 most influential people in AI. I believe he is sufficiently notable now. If possible, I would like for the article to be restored as a draft (or to the mainspace, or somehow sent to me) so that I don't have to write it back from scratch.

== Help on FBG AfD fiasco? ==

Liz, I need your help on something. The author of [[FBG Duck]], [[User:Momentoftrue|Moment of True]], just reminded me that the article was nominated for deletion in a second nomination 6 days ago, but I renominated it (third time) and its affiliated pages recently. I think I could be in trouble if so. Review please and thank you? If I ever face blockage or banishment from editing for this, then I'm going to face another debacle here on Wikipedia. [[User:DBrown SPS|DBrown SPS]] ([[User talk:DBrown SPS|talk]]) 11:53, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

== Draftification q ==

Liz, I just [[Draft:Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati|draftified]] the newly created article [[Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]] because, though the subject is likely to be notable, the BLP was promotional and didn't reflect even the cited sources (eg, the subject's [https://indianexpress.com/article/india/sc-stops-coronation-of-swami-avimukteshwaranand-saraswati-as-shankaracharya-8210568/ disputed status] as the head of the [[Jyotir Math]], and several other controversies that are sub judice). Only after I had done so, did I realize that previous versions of this article had been thrice draftified '''''and''''' a parallel duplicate draft existed at [[Draft:Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]], with an equally messy draft and [[Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati|mainspace]] history.{{pb}}
I see that you have previously been involved with some of the draftifications and are surely more familiar with the nuts and bolts of the draftification/deletion process than I. So any input on what should be done with the duplicate drafts and if the mainspace titles should be salted in the meantime? Pinging {{ping|CNMall41|ToadetteEdit}} who have reviewed the draft without the honorific "Swami" in its title. [[User:Abecedare|Abecedare]] ([[User talk:Abecedare|talk]]) 05:20, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hello, [[User:Abecedare|Abecedare]],
:This IS complicated. [[Draft:Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]] is the pre-existing draft that is waiting to be reviewed again by AFC but the draft creator is now blocked for COI issues and suspected AI use. Meanwhile [[Draft:Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]] was just created today but who knows, it might be the better version. I see two possibilities, you could merge the two drafts together or turn one into a redirect to the other draft. But I'd ask [[User:Takarsinh]] what they think since they are the editor who is currently working on an article on this subject while the other editor is blocked. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 05:31, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
::I posted this before seeing your addition to your message. I wanted to add that there is another CSD G13 version of [[Draft:Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]] that was deleted back in 2024. So, we have lots of versions circulating around. Is there a version you think is a better written draft? Or just has fewer problems? I deal with a lot of drafts but I actually don't do AFC reviewing. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 05:34, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
:::Liz, [[Draft:Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]] is a super-set of [[Draft:Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]] although it is certainly ''not'' ready for mainspace yet. In addition to the COI and suspected AI issues, the first sentence of both drafts declare the subject the "current Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math" in wiki-voice, which is unaccaptable since that status has been challenged and the Supreme Court of India [https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/sc-stops-coronation-of-swami-avimukteshwaranand-saraswati-as-shankaracharya-of-jyotish-peeth/article66014458.ece put a hold on the subject's ascension] to that post in October 2022. At the risk of ABFing, I suspect that the on-wiki shenanigans may well be part of a PR campaign to solidify the subject's claim. 
:::So here is what I propose to do:
:::# Delete [[Draft:Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]] and ask {{noping|Takarsinh}} to work on developing [[Draft:Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]], if they wish.
:::# Salt the mainspace titles [[Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]] and [[Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati]], to prevent casual recreations or pre-mature moves from draft space.

== Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reginaldo Ndong ==

Hi Liz, thanks for your close at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reginaldo Ndong]], and all your efforts on these, but I wonder if you would consider amending this one. Only exactly half of the participants !voted to keep the article, and a close of keep effectively shuts down a further discussion on redirection. There are clear issues with the sourcing that were unaddressed, and what looks like a source list at first glance in the first !vote is not. It was just a list of papers they thought we should search. In the light of this, wouldn't "no consensus" have been more appropriate? such a close would prevent the argument that no redirect discussion is due owing to the finding at AfD. Or else a relist to tease out consensus more clearly, since it was only a week old? Thanks. [[User:Sirfurboy|Sirfurboy🏄]] ([[User talk:Sirfurboy|talk]]) 08:17, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
* I'm not going to complain if this is changed to no consensus (though, the !vote count was 4k-2d, not "exactly half" keep); I don't really like a relist, given that we've already got plenty of other Olympian AFDs to deal with ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Olympics|20 at the moment]], and more added by the day).

== Please RE-OPEN [[Stage School Australia]] ==
Hi. If you actually look at the article you just deleted at [[Stage School Australia]], I was right in the middle of expanding this article and adding sources. There is plenty of independent secondary coverage in reliable sources. None of the participants in [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stage School Australia]] discussed where they had searched, and the last participant actually indicated that the complexity of the organisation's naming history was probably adding to the difficulty in locating them. Please re-list the discussion so that I can !vote and add to the discussion...and also if you could restore the article, I can finish editing. Thanks. {{yo|RebeccaGreen}} You were right about looking for former names of Stage School Australia. I found lots of coverage via ProQuest. Another tip is that Google actually will show you a lot more coverage if you use more than one search parameter at a time. So don't only search for "Stage School Australia"; search with two parameters like "Stage School Australia" and "Young Australian Broadway Chorus" or "Australian Boys Dance Academy" at the same time, and you will find a surprising number of hits.

== Request regarding the deleted page about Nay Porttela ==

Hi Liz, I hope you're doing well!

I noticed that on April 3rd, you moved the page “Discussão:Nay Porttela” to draft and later deleted it. I’m interested in recreating a page for the artist Nay Porttela and wanted to reach out to better understand the reason for its deletion and to ask if you might have any guidance on how to restructure the content to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Since then, the artist has gained more visibility. She currently has '''over 121,000 monthly listeners on Spotify''' and has had songs included in compilations released by '''Putumayo World Music''', a well-known international label that highlights culturally significant artists.

I believe this growth, along with some reliable sources I’m gathering, could support a well-referenced and neutrally written article.

If possible, I’d appreciate any thoughts or recommendations you may have before I move forward with the draft.

Thanks so much for your time and for all the work you do on Wikipedia!

I believe this AFD should be terminated. Kindly investigate the matter. [[User:Bakhtar40|Bakhtar40]] ([[User talk:Bakhtar40|talk]]) 08:53, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
:Hello, [[User:Bakhtar40|Bakhtar40]],
:We discourage editors from moving articles during the course of an AFD discussion but I'm not going to revert the move. Thank you for notifying me, I've closed the discussion.

== Draft:XR class + Draft:Pacific National XR Class ==

Hi there, I was just going through {{IP user|171.236.215.75}}'s edits, and noticed that they just copied and pasted an existing article word for word at [[Freight Australia XR class]] to two new pages at different names, which you then draftified ([[Draft:XR class]] and [[Draft:Pacific National XR Class]]).

In essence, an article on the topic already exists and the drafts are carbon copies of the original article. Just as an FYI, not sure if there's any action to be done here? Thanks, [[User:Fork99|Fork99]] ([[User talk:Fork99|talk]]) 10:25, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

There are some files that have been overlooked for deletion. Some of them ranging from days already. They are all non-free files, and have been tagged with "human=yes".

Following files are: [[:File:Screenshot of macOS Sequoia.png]], [[:File:MacOS Mission Control screenshot.png]], [[:File:Roku OS Homescreen.png]], and [[:File:Spotify for Android screenshot.png]] (original deletion date was at April 9th, but I recently updated the screenshot; it's up to you to remove it or not immediately).

== Liz! Hello! Hoping for some help and guidance. ==

Hi Liz--you deleted Hammel, Green, and Abrahamson earlier this year and I was hoping to get some guidance on steps to restoring it/validating it as a WP:NCORP so that it can be restored. I want to suggest edits using the COI / Paid Editing suggestion protocol on the talk page that work to eliminate first-party publicity sources.

Thanks,

== Delinking navigation templates ==

Liz, I'd like to kindly ask you to take a closer look at the pages you're delinking after closing deletion discussions to avoid leaving inappropriate unlinked text, especially in navigation templates. I know this is a lot of work and sort of  a grey area, but navboxes should basically never be left with unlinked items. A few recent examples: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Hardy_County,_West_Virginia&diff=prev&oldid=1286973152][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Cabell_County,_West_Virginia&diff=prev&oldid=1286972933][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Hampshire_County,_West_Virginia&diff=prev&oldid=1286972624][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Jesuit_Schools_of_India&diff=prev&oldid=1286822478][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Gabrielite_Brothers%27_Schools&diff=prev&oldid=1286813989][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:GB_A_road_zone_1&diff=prev&oldid=1286599652][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Adam_Ant&diff=prev&oldid=1286498324][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Gran_Hermano_(Spain)&diff=prev&oldid=1286483582][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Cheltenham,_Gloucestershire&diff=prev&oldid=1286483136]. I've pointed this out in the past regarding geography lists, and several other editors have reached out to you regarding the difficulty in tracking down these non-links, so I would really appreciate you taking the time to make sure you're doing it right. –[[User:Dlthewave|dlthewave]] [[User_talk:Dlthewave|☎]] 01:49, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
:Hello, [[User:Dlthewave|dlthewave]],
:I delete hundreds of pages every day. It's my primary admin activity. I do not check every page that links to an article or draft that I delete. Some articles might have 40+ links to other articles, just for one article. Multiply that by 100 or 200. You're talking about dozens and dozens of extra hours to spend on this project that I don't have. No admin who spends much time on page deletion checks every page that links to an article that is deleted. Bots like JJMC89 bot III that delete hundreds of pages don't check every incoming link when they delete a page. 
:If you want to get policy changed so that this is required with CSD or PROD and AFD work, I'll accept that but I will stop deleting pages as a result. I already probably spend at least 10 hours/day on Wikipedia and I don't have 24 hours/day to check all of these links.
:So, there are two options, I can unlink the red links from the deleted articles (which is what I currently do) or I can leave the red links. When I first became an administrator back in 2015, I was told to remove red links after deleting an article so that's what I do. If you want me to leave the red links, I can do that instead. Other editors have brought this up and I can change my deletion practices so as to not remove red links. If this is just a concern for Template pages, then I can treat those pages differently.
:If you decide to take this issue further, I just have one request: This is an admin work issue, not a Liz issue. I'm visible to you because I do a lot of deletion work on a daily basis but I don't think you'll find any administrator who deletes at least 20 or 30 articles a day who acts differently than I do. I encourage you to speak to other high activity admins like OwenX, Hey man im josh, Explicit or HouseBlaster and see how they handle this problem. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 02:15, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
::I'm familiar with these other admins' work, and it seems like they either appropriately remove items from lists/templates or are open to doing so when the issue is pointed out to them. But I'd love to hear their perspectives! {{u|OwenX}}, {{u|Hey man im josh}}, {{u|Explicit}}, {{u|HouseBlaster}} –[[User:Dlthewave|dlthewave]] [[User_talk:Dlthewave|☎]] 15:17, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the ping, {{u|Dlthewave}}. I've recently started paying more attention to removing backlinks when closing, especially for lists and nav templates. But I handle a tiny fraction of what Liz does, so the comparison is irrelevant. The XFDcloser tool already displays "List" in its "Review unlinked item" screen. I think it would be helpful if unlinked items in a ''template'', specifically, were highlighted with a different colour, or with an extra confirmation screen if kept, to alert the closing admin. Pinging {{u|Novem Linguae}} to see if this is something easy to add to this great tool. [[User:OwenX|Owen&times;]] [[User talk:OwenX|<big>&#9742;</big>]] 16:46, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
::::{{u|OwenX}}. Howdy. Feel free to post this suggestion at [[Wikipedia talk:XFDcloser]] so that there's a record of it. Maybe a passing volunteer might read that page and implement it someday. Or maybe some regular talk page watchers will have some opinions about whether it's a good idea or not. Please also include some diffs, to give an idea of if more than just the link needs to be deleted in some cases (for example, also deleting the asterisk for the bulleted list). Hope that helps. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 16:56, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
:::It's an option as part of AfD closes, and I use it when it's done there, but I don't remove backlinks for CSDs typically. Red links are still useful for encouraging article creation, and just because something has been deleted at AfD doesn't mean it can't be created in a way that addresses the problems that caused the deletion. [[User:Hey man im josh|Hey man im josh]] ([[User talk:Hey man im josh|talk]]) 18:57, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
:::I mostly work at CFD, where resolving any backlinks is part of the standard deletion process. Any edits to the fully-protected [[WP:CFDW]] which say {{tqq|remove some after checking}} mean that the admin manually ensured all the remaining backlinks are nothing to worry about. Usually this means removing the entire linked text, but sometimes we do leave the unlinked behind.

::::Thank you both for your insight. I guess my concern is that Liz seems to be relying a bit too much on the automated tools and not taking the time to make sure that the entire text is removed from obvious items such as nav templates, disambiguation pages, etc. Admins who delete articles ''are'' expected to use their discretion, and some types of deleted articles (erroneous "populated palces" that never existed, for example) should be removed entirely wherever they appear. I appreciate the massive workload that she's taken on however if an editor in any other context said "I do hundreds of these a day, I don't have time to check each one to make sure it's correct" I think they'd be asked to slow down and make sure they're doing it right. The fact is that delinking and text removal currently fall on the admin who does the deletion. –[[User:Dlthewave|dlthewave]] [[User_talk:Dlthewave|☎]] 15:25, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

== please block [[User:Eastern_Anatolia]] for mass vandalism ==

hi Liz, i'm not a regular wikipedia editor but i am familiar with the workings of a mediawiki instance. i noticed while flipping thru my open tabs that the [[Princess_Mononoke]] page had been... replaced with what appeared to be a sticky background image of some turkish guy.

google lens-ing it showed that it was [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:20180108_Atat%C3%BCrk_2781_(39121046984).jpg this commons file] and it was in fact now included in countless articles. i found one of the ones that was small and bisected the offending content in my user talk page until i determined it was coming from [[Template:Project_Muse]].

apparently just a few minutes before i noticed all this, [[User:Eastern_Anatolia]] made the vandalizing edit. i don't know how to report vandalism, but i saw that you had written on the user's talk page, and your userpage indicates you have adjusted user permissions, which presumably means you have the ability to do so. i suspect this user deserves a ban.

thanks for reading!

update: apparently people fought over it and someone else got to the ban in the time i was writing this. also apologies for not knowing about the "add topic" button.

== Remove or hide Talk page comment? ==

Hi Liz, I think [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Operation_Underground_Railroad&diff=prev&oldid=1287124535 this edit] should be reverted, deleted, hidden, struck, or… something. Also, the broader thread concerns COI contributions. I think the COI editor who started [[Talk:Operation Underground Railroad#Requested move 17 April 2025|the RM]] is following [[WP:DISCLOSE|the rules]] by disclosing their status on their Talk page, but I think it would have been better to also state up front in the RM.

Hi Liz, can you check this out - 
There is a series of non-admin closing of Amy Hall AfD discussion. The recent one being this -
[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Amy_Hall&oldid=1287672535]
by a user who just joined Wikipedia about 20 minutes ago.

I was confused as the discussion was open about 5 minutes ago as I was searching for sources and added the reply just to see it being closed. I reverted my reply.

Later on, upon checking what just happened by navigating to the closing admin page, it turned out to be a new user who is also copying someone's User Page as theirs. [[User:HilssaMansen19|HilssaMansen19]] ([[User talk:HilssaMansen19|talk]]) 18:51, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

== Brunswik's lens model ==

Hello Liz,

I am part of a group of social scientists who think Brunswik's lens model and Hammond's Social Judgment Theory are appropriate topics for Wikipedia.  Both of these topics are well established in the psychology and judgment and decision research, but not well represented in Wikipedia.  Both of the articles we have submitted so far have been deleted ("Brunswik's lens model" and "Vicarious Mediation and Vicarious Functioning").  Others took the lead on writing these, but I edited and submitted them after what I thought was careful study of Wikipedia guidelines and other articles in the field.

We avoided reporting any original research, but apparently there is an objection to even citing original research and I will work on citing other sources, of which there are many.  I do not understand the objection that "this is a personal essay."  To us, the tone is not different from other Wikipedia articles in the field.  We have published many academic articles, but this is a different kind of writing for us, and we need help.  Any advice or specific examples of what we did wrong would be appreciated.

Thank you. [[User:TRStewart|TRStewart]] ([[User talk:TRStewart|talk]]) 16:00, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

:::It's not unusual, [[User:Jlwoodwa|jlwoodwa]], to get these pages for nonexistent editors but they are typically editors from the WikiEd program who are seeking to move their sandbox drafts to main space and they don't change the namespace from User to Article. We just have to move them back or to Draft space. They also occur if an editor removes the Redirect link from the page. Sometimes editors who have changed their username want to remove all trace of their former username so I oblige their request but ordinarily, we don't delete User talk pages. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 01:26, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

* Following [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase III/Administrator elections|an RfC]], [[WP:AELECT|administrator elections]] were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see [[Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections]] for more information. This is an alternate process to the [[WP:RfA|RfA process]] and does not replace the latter.
*[[Wikipedia talk:User pages#RfC: allowing editors to opt-out of seeing floating decorative elements|An RfC]] was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{t|sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at [[WP:STICKYDECO]].
* [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/AI_images|An RfC]] has resulted in [[WP:AIGI|a broad prohibition]] on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous'''
* A [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2025|'''New Pages Patrol backlog drive''']] is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|new pages feed]].

Hello @[[User:Liz|Liz]]. Thanks for the notice on Category:Hogwarts staff. There isn't anything in there at the moment, because I've been just preparing for a training session. I wanted students to notice that there was a {{Q|9576578}} but there was no {{Q|7470930}}. Does that make sense?

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danila Matveyev]] ==

Going on five months after I requested that someone source this page, which you closed as keep. We've cut the backlog of 70,000 unsourced pages to 63,000. I'm not sure if the Orthodox encyclopedia is reliable. If it's not sourced by the six-month deadline, then I'm going back to AfD. I made a respectful request and I'm ignored.

== Shyam Steel ==

Hi, I think there are two editors with less than 200 edits, one with less than 400 edits. Those three are less than 45 weeks old. Most of the edits are contribution-boosting gnoming. Editor interaction is a rabbit-hole too with a wider web. Otherwise, no problem with no consensus - naturally I'd moan about lack of sources and lack of discussion around analysis of sources but hey :-) not bothered [[User:HighKing|<b style="font-family: Courier; color: darkgreen;"> HighKing</b>]]<sup>[[User talk:HighKing|<span style="font-family: Courier; color: #da0000;">++ </span>]]</sup> 17:18, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

:I hope you are well. I'm not sure who you are referring to in your comments. I looked at [[User:Shyam Steel]] who you name in the section header but they are an editor from 12 years ago with only 1 edit to their account.

Good Morning! Would it be possible to restore the edit history for this article? I'm not asking that the article itself be restored, but I'd like to examine the version prior to its redirect.

:I'll have to consider this as the article was deleted as a closure of an AFD. We don't typically restore articles with an AFD Delete closure but I'll read the AFD over and the deleted edits.

== Recent SDs ==

I believe your recent speedy deletions of pages in {{noping|IlEssere}}'s userspace were erroneous. The account indeed was a sock of Errico Boukoura, but both were blocked at once, as a result of [[WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Errico Boukoura|a single SPI]], with no prior blocks. Of course, I may be making a mistake, and you could be correct here. [[User:Janhrach|Janhrach]] ([[User talk:Janhrach|talk]]) 18:00, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

== PRODs ==

Hello, Liz,

By 'LUGSTUB' in my PROD summary, I mean that the article, per [[WP:LUGSTUBS]], is one of his many articles which does not belong on Wikipedia due to failing to meet our notability criteria or due to violating our policies on what Wikipedia is not (mostly not a sports almanac). [[Wikipedia:NOLY|NOLY]] in my prod summaries is shorthand for how the Olympian being prodded came nowhere close to winning a medal. I don't always link the two, to be fair.
