Thank you greatly for persuading me into trying out featured lists, really helped me get outside my regular wiki bubble. Cheers! Kline • talk • contribs 01:37, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

WP:FLC

If you have a few minutes for WP:FLC in the next few days, there's maybe ~10 noms that have 3+ supports, are over 20 days and have source reviews. Would be nice to clear out the queue a bit :) no worries either way. Thanks! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up @Gonzo fan2007, I'm still working on doing a bit of catchup from a bit of an absence I've had. However, you know me, I want to encourage folks to participate at FLC, which means promoting when it's time, so I'll definitely take a look as soon as I can today. I also do still plan on chiming in on your ping for the FLC coords. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:31, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
There was certainly a backlog of lists ready to be promoted, and I'm extremely grateful that many of them are because of your quality reviews @Gonzo fan2007! Thank you! Hey man im josh (talk) 17:20, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Meant to let you know that I took care of those @Gonzo fan2007. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:45, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: NEVER! Hey man im josh (talk) 14:00, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
@Gonzo fan2007: The song one needed a source review still, but I did it. I had been looking at these all last night and this morning to promote anyways. As for the AP assistant coach one, the coord/delegates don't promote their own work, so I'll wait for PresN or Giants to take care of that. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:11, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Agh, thanks for the heads up @Armbrust! I've made the fix.

2027 ICC Women's Champions Trophy

Hi! 2027 ICC Women's Champions Trophy is the actual page maintained since April 2024, while 2027 ICC Women's T20 Champions Cup was a hoax page created last month. Which is why I redirected it to the actual page, but you have mistaken it for a "cut and paste move" here and here. It has already been fixed by another user, I just wanted to let you know.

Thoughts? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:34, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: Feeling like it's probably not notable long term and likely fails WP:LASTING. There's a number of other games we have that fit the bill as well, but I'm glad we've at least, as a group, made an effort to not have that number balloon. With that said, I hope this gets nominated and if/when I get more time (working lots of OT lately) I'd likely want to nom it for deletion if someone else doesn't beat me to it. You know I'm a Lions homer, so if I could argue it's worth keeping I would lol. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:34, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Review of page

Hey man I was wondering if you could review my page? I've been waiting for like over a month for a reviewer.

1970 & 1970s

Sorry, I think I caused confusion by renaming the page in draft space before moving it back to main. Was the page I put in draft space the page that is now at 1970s or 1970?

I was trying to swap the page created in 2024 by me to be one of the redirects, and then use one of the original pages for the merged page, by pasting the current merge over it.

My goal was to have the history of the merged page include the date the contents was first created and who created it.

But it looks like the current 1970s merged page started in 2024?

But maybe what I was trying to do is not useful?

Sorry again for not communicating that very well.

Industrial Metal Brain (talk) 19:03, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

@Industrial Metal Brain: Let me know which page you want moved to this title and I will do so. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:07, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
It was a bit more complicated. I wanted the merged page to show the edits when some of the merged content was originally created, the pages for the years were all started at the same time by the same user so it doesn't matter much which year, there were five years that contributed most to the merged page.
The way I was trying to do this was to swap the history of the pages 1970s in Croatian television with 1970 in Croatian television (one of the original pages and currently a redirect to the other page), but without swapping the current pages. I was trying to do this by swapping the pages and then swapping back the current contents by copy-paste, but I couldn't do it by myself because I can't move pages without creating a redirect, so I needed help deleting the redirects.
But it probably works better if the same person does every step? So if you are able to do that, that would be good. Maybe in the content swap step you should say something like "years merged by…" and tag me?
I haven't tried asking for a history merge because my request to merge the history for 1950s in Croatian television was rejected with reason "WP: parallel histories". But in that case I wanted two old pages merged. There is some parallel history for 1970 and 1970s, but much less because the other decades are all based on one of the individual years moved to a new name, whereas 1970s is a new page I made in draft space.
If a history swap and a merge are both allowed for this pair, I would prefer a swap, so the oldest edits are less buried in the history. The current page history for 1970s in Croatian television is mostly edits I made in draft space, most of those edits can be summarized by "pages were merged", and if you say "pasted from 1970 in Croatian television" then anyone who really wants to see them can look on the history of the redirect. But anyone who wants to see the oldest date can click "oldest" in the page history, so if you think a history merge is better do it that way instead.
Tag me if you reply here please. I "watch" too many pages, but I'm trying to keep up with notifications. Industrial Metal Brain (talk) 05:30, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
@Industrial Metal Brain: To be honest, in this case, you should basically just cut and paste the relevant content and state something to the effect of "Merged from 1972 in Croatian television, see history for attribution". That would solve the issue and allow you to go through with the changes you're working on. The issue is typically when trying to change one page to another page, as opposed to merging several. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:20, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
@Hey man im josh sorry, I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean it is ok how it is currently and I don't need to do anything further? I think there is a template to show moves and merges, that might be the right way to show it. I have seen the "past moves" used on other talk pages, but I don't know if recording a merge has it's own template? Possibly we should have this conversation on the talk page of the page itself, then our conversation works as a record of what was done? Industrial Metal Brain (talk) 04:33, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Well everything needs to be merged from one spot to another, and merging all their histories into one page isn't what we do @Industrial Metal Brain. As such, when merging the content, mention in the edit summary that you're doing that. Additionally, you could also use the Template:Merged-from template on the talk page to indiciate this.

Article not suitable

The article Hong Jong Yee is not suitable for Wikipedia, as there are little to no sources about him. Gnu779 (talk) 13:39, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

I believe you're referring to Draft:Hong Jen Yee, which is a page that you started which I moved to draft space. Are you requesting anything by making this comment @Gnu779? Hey man im josh (talk) 13:42, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
I'm gonna nominate it for deletion. Gnu779 (talk) 13:45, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
@Gnu779: If you would like the page to be deleted you can add {{Db-G7}} to the top of the draft. It will then be deleted at your request, as the only substantial contributions were made by you. It would be eligible for undeletion at WP:REFUND if you ever decided you wanted to work on it again. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:47, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Yay! I can finally delete it. Gnu779 (talk) 13:50, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Minor Vandalism Warning (please don't)

Hi @Hey_man_im_josh, I want to let you know I've reverted one or more of your contributions If you think it's censorship, Wiki kid-friendly video games and media doesn't equal mentions or links regarding a Pornographic topic. If you think I made a mistake or have questions, don't answer me. Please note that continued vandalism to add anything inappropriate may lead to restrictions or bans. 2601:680:CD00:7A80:B8D5:E7DB:97E1:8697 (talk) 13:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

I understand you said not to answer you, but you came to my talk page, so I will anyways. You have not actually reverted my contribution, as I've blocked you from the article for a month for edit warring. This is very clearly not vandalism, as, despite your concerns, restoring sourced content is not considered vandalism in this case. As someone else explained to you, your changes were contested, so you should be discussing the changes on the article talk page instead of edit warring over it.

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).

Khasha

For the longest time this used to be a redirect to Khasa until an IP [1] belonging to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Thakor Sumant Sinhji Jhala hijacked it, as soon as that was done, an account moved it to the title Khasia (clan) in order to "create" the article on that particular Koli clan. This is the standard behaviour with this sockfarm, they move redirects or pages to the title they would want to create an article on and then when page moves are reverted they simply hijack the leftover redirects and in other cases, hijack existing redirects in order to "create" articles on koli caste directly into the mainspace. For the past 6 months I have been trying to fight this disruption, and enlisted help of an an admin that has been doing the same [2] who fixed most of these redirect hijackings and page moves by socks. I think you should self revert this because the page title is not correct anymore and we would only be letting an LTA get away with abusing Wikipedia for caste promotion. - Ratnahastin (talk) 13:43, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Ratnahastin, I've actually been aware of a someone who's repeatedly been blanking and going after clan/caste articles, though my understanding was it was actually several socks. They've repeatedly blanked or redirected pages, and it's frustrating and annoying that it's happening so frequently (I work from the back of the NPP queue, and that's how I notice these). I suppose I just figured that's what was going on here, and at a cursory glance, it didn't stick out to me as being about the same entities. I'll defer to you and restore the redirect in this case, as I'm confident you're more familiar with this case than I am. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:48, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
There are several socks all in caste area that do the that, one example is Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Truthfindervert that usually tries to redirect caste articles without actually blanking them which causes them to end up in NPP queue but not as redirects, or Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Anujror that creates content forks from already stub caste articles but no one is as sophisticated and experienced in causing disruption as the one I mentioned. - Ratnahastin (talk) 13:54, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Yep, I'm lucky enough to catch what I do and I do what I can. Thank you for your efforts @Ratnahastin. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:05, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Aaron Rodgers sack record

Favre’s interception record is displayed in his bio so I think Rodgers should be for sacks Eg224 (talk) 17:01, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

@Eg224: One page having something doesn't mean another page should have it.
Some other examples of negative stats not in player infoboxes:
  • Annual intercepted pass leaders
  • Annual sacked QB leaders
  • Tom Brady (or any other quarterback) having the record for most times sacked
  • George Blanda having the most interceptions in a season
  • Most quarterback fumbles
Just because you can find one example of a "negative" record being included under the accomplishments section of an infobox doesn't mean we include those for every other situation. I actually went ahead and removed the record from Brett Favre's infobox as well. Being the all-time leader in interceptions certainly shouldn't be listed as an accomplishment, despite of course being a notable record. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:24, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

@CSMention269: There is nothing to be gained by withdrawing your request and re-submitting it several days later. If it's taken that long for your request to be processed, it typically means no one has felt comfortable enough to do so yet. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:26, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Hmm, got that hint. Thanks. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔) 15:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Has my new page reviewer right been deleted?

Hi Josh. Please would you kindly check whether my new page user right has been deleted? Because I am primarily an editor creating articles, I only do the new page reviewer bit occasionally, and when I do, I tend to do just a few, but in depth and at length. But recently when I have attempted to do some more new page reviewing, I cannot find the tools required. I think that there mare be regular clearouts of apparently absent members in the list, and perhaps they thought that I was no longer willing to take part? Is there a place for people like me, who do not show their face all the time? If I have been accidentally chucked out, please reinstate me if you can? Storye book (talk) 09:09, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

@Storye book: We typically only remove the NPR user right from users who have misused the tools, who have edited for pay, or who have been inactive for 12 months, per WP:NPPREVOKE. In your case, your trial was extended and expired in June of 2024. You m ay request the perm again at WP:PERM/NPR. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:24, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
Ah, thank you. I shall apply for the permission again. Cheers. Storye book (talk) 19:53, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

It's always awesome to let people know they're appreciate or doing a good job.

Hey

Hey man, it's been a while. So what do I still need to do to be able to re-apply for the WP:TPE right again? Also, was the WP:CONSENSUS established over at WT:NFL to not include the |border=2 parameter in the |basestyle= of all 32 NFL team templates? If so, I can respect that. CharlesEditor23 (talk) 06:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

@CharlesEditor23: Given that there's a history of issues, I wouldn't rush into it yet regarding TPE. Your best bet is to continue to make requests that you can point to as showing that you know what you're doing and that you're listening to feedback that others have provided. Regarding the border, I think there's at least consensus that there is no consensus. I don't recall seeing support for it, but I do recall seeing several folks opposed to it. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:57, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Finally a quick congratulations is in order! Well done, Josh!! Maybe you can keep your talk page the way it is, lol. Regards, John. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:28, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Rollback request

Hey Josh, I need a quick favor if you don't mind. I need List of premature professional wrestling deaths rolled back to before me or SummeRStorm79 made any edits; so the version by Liz. I tried to help revert some edits that he made and was looking for help to fix, but I accidentally reverted it wrong and caused an edit conflict, which effectively broke a lot. If you could just roll that back that'd be much appreciated. Thanks! Therguy10 (talk) 22:19, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

@Therguy10: For reference, an admin or rollback would not have been necessary in this case. I think I understand what you mean, in that you want to restore an older version, but you're using the terminology of "rollback", which is typically meant to refer to the one click button that's used to revert vandalism. Per the link at the relevant discussion, I restored the page to the requested version. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:54, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Delete Talk:Anti-money laundering

Hey man, I have noticed that you have declined my request to delete the talk page redirect. Please let me explain this somewhat special case:

This resulted in an article, whose history is spread over two pages, without temporal overlap. There were also two talk pages.

Solution to this issue:

For the article:
  1. Merge the history from the old page to the new page and keep the redirect.  Done
For the talk pages:
  1. Merge the contents of the old page into the new page.  Done
  2. Merge the history from the old page to the new page.  Done
  3. Delete the resulting redirect, which has no useful history anymore.  Pending

Is it clear now? — Petr Matas 20:38, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

@Petr Matas: Where are you getting this checklist? For reference, this isn't a particularly special case, and it was never unclear to me what had happened. The page was moved at one point from this title, it looks like after being there for ~3 years, and when a page is moved we typically leave a redirect behind. I don't see how deleting the talk page redirect to the current target is an improvement to Wikipedia at all and I'm of the mindset that redirected talk pages to the new location are beneficial. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:53, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
The checklist is my solution. Concerning the article move, it did happen in 2023, but from yet another title (Anti-Money Laundering). This left behind an article redirect and no talk page, which is both correct, but we aren't interested in these. The article redirect in question (Anti-money laundering) is a different one. It was not created by the move, but just updated after the move to avoid double redirect. The corresponding old talk page was not affected by the move at all; it only turned into the redirect, that I want to delete, after a merge into the new talk page. Its history has been moved there as well. Concerning talk page redirects in general, I thought that we keep them only for their history or to make sure that related discussions take place at just one talk page. None of these is our case. By the way, when moving an article, we leave behind an article redirect, but no talk redirect, right? I agree that keeping this talk redirect makes no harm, but it is useless, because everyone will look for the talk page accompanying the actual article. — Petr Matas 22:12, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
@Petr Matas: The original talk page was moved from that title, way back when. By the way, when moving an article, we leave behind an article redirect, but no talk redirect, right? – That is incorrect. When moving a page you DO leave behind a redirect for the talk page. You'll notice this is the norm when you move a page and it automatically leaves a redirect for the talk page. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:27, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Let's keep the redirect then. Thanks for your explanation. — Petr Matas 07:14, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Pre-1982 sacks

Hi Josh. I noticed the sack addition for Alan Page. Myself and KristofferAG were going back and forth with an editor who was adding 'unofficial' sacks to Lyle Alzado's infobox. Yet another editor seemed to add and/or amend dozens due to pfr going with 1960 .. and no consensus at the time. I let that go. Honestly, I always went with official in the infobox, thinking that was the way. Kind of like the AP only conversation we had with All-Pro and All-American. I'm just looking for a good response, in case I'm reverted, lol. Thanks in advance. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:03, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Bringingthewood, feel free to revert for the time being, but I'll look for more sources. I believe the NFL and pro football Hall of fame sort of pseudo recognize these stats since they're been compiled. I'm going off memory though, and could be wrong. Hey man im josh (talk) 04:06, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
No revert needed, it's fine with me. I'll stay away from other editors regarding this certain stat, having no current consensus to back me up. It would be cool if it was (PFR from 1960), many of the older players were slighted with 1982 being the official year. Maybe when the season is over we can all get something worked out. Enjoy your weekend and thanks again. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:19, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Help with source archiving

Good Morning! Can you recommend a bot that will automatically do the archiving for sources in an article? Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:59, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Bgsu98, I typically run IAbot on pages I'm interested in having archived. The external link can be found here. By default it will only add archives to dead links, but I typically select to add archives to non-dead references as well. You're also able to run it on entire categories if you'd like, but you won't have the option to add links to non-dead references on batch runs. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:01, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
Thank you so much, that is exactly what I was looking for! I will run it for the Ukrainian article I’ve submitted to FL, plus the other championship pages as I finish them. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:08, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Your edit summary: Alternative capitalizations of "episode" are entirely fine.

MOS:TITLECAPS: English Wikipedia uses sentence case

??? Paradoctor (talk) 02:36, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

@Paradoctor: I implore you to actually communicate and explain your question in the future instead of leaving me to guess and interpret what you might be trying to say. With that said, I'll give it a shot.
  • MOS:TITLECAPS does not apply to redirects, it applies to the name of articles
  • Alternative capitalizations are not WP:CSD R3 eligible, as they are not considered unlikely enough typos to be speedy deleted
  • Given that the page existed for 18 years at the previous title, and the redirect itself was moved to create a new redirect (and transfer the categories), it does not appear to have been obviously created in error, making the G6 rationale not appropriate either
  • You are welcome to send them to WP:RFD, but it is my expectation that they would be kept as plausible miscapitalizations.
I hope I have addressed your comment appropriately. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:25, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
does not apply to redirects
Where does it say that?
R3: Irrelevant. We're talking about WP:CSD § G6, specifically about {{db-error}}: a page that was obviously created in error Paradoctor (talk) 13:41, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
@Paradoctor: It repeatedly states in that section that that MOS is applied to article titles. Redirect titles are not article titles.
I addressed the point regarding the G6 as well. It's not necessarily obviously created in error, and I mentioned that the redirect existed since 2007 (the 18 years point I made). I see those types of redirects created all the time actually. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
Redirect titles are not article titles I see nowhere stated that it does not apply to redirects. But whatever, see below.
addressed the point regarding the G6 as well Sure. After I had already started formulating my reply. We should have an alert or locking mechanism for this kind of situation.
the 18 years Was not visible to me. All I was shown was a new user moving a bunch of pages from "Episode)" to "episode)". 🤷
I see those types of redirects created all the time Is there a way to search for them? The search box doesn't distinguish between "Episode)" and "episode)". Paradoctor (talk) 14:09, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
A redirect is not an article @Paradoctor. You're welcome to try to nominate the redirects for deletion, but based on my experience at WP:RFD, capitalization differences in disambiguations end up being kept.
addressed the point regarding the G6 as well Sure. After I had already started formulating my reply. We should have an alert or locking mechanism for this kind of situation. – I amended my reply a minute after based on the edit history. You then replied 15 minutes after my edit. People are allowed to tweak messages to address a point they meant to include but originally missed. Like I said, it was not at all clear what you were asking, and upon review, I realized you had CSD G6 tagged the page, which is why the point was added.
the 18 years Was not visible to me. All I was shown was a new user moving a bunch of pages from "Episode)" to "episode)". 🤷 – That's why checking the target and seeing the history is important. Speaking of which, upon review, it appears it actually wasn't 18 years, as I was looking at the oldest edit. It was actually since April 2019 when it was moved to the capitalized title.
I see those types of redirects created all the time Is there a way to search for them? The search box doesn't distinguish between "Episode)" and "episode)" – It does on mobile I believe, but I happen to have a quarry query that was last ran a couple of weeks ago. As an example, some episode disambiguations that use capitalized "Episode" in the disambiguatiom would be "(TMNT_2003 Episode)", which is part of 96 redirects, and "(Charmed Episode)", which is part of 176 redirects. I also commented on an RfD recently highlighting some differences in capitalizations in redirects, which included the following:
  • (Album) – 1,602
  • (TV Series) – 1,353
  • (Film) – 722
  • (Song) – 711
  • (Band) – 661
  • (Number) – 360
  • (Musician) – 326
  • (Novel) – 323
  • (Politician) – 303
  • (Singer) – 285
  • (Actor) – 282
  • (Book) – 255
A relevant RfD regarding "(Disambiguation)" was also recently closed, found here. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:23, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Vuosaari railway

Why did you draft my page? It has two sources, both of which mention everything in the article, it has enough information for such a average not very special railway. toaster (talk) 16:51, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

And for the Sv1, explain to me why? It has the same sources as the Finnish page! toaster (talk) 16:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
References to information that shows something simply exists isn't enough to establish notability @CybersparkTheProtogen, it must meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. At the time of me draftifying these articles they did not. WP:NRAIL would be a good place for you to start to read more about this. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:00, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
"Notability guidelines" Those just talk about "source being reliable" if you would do a bit of googling in Finnish railway forums you can easily find information to support my sources? If i have to put every source i find on internet a larger page will be too long. toaster (talk) 17:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
@CybersparkTheProtogen: Finnish railway forums are not considered reliable sources, as they'd be considered user generated content. Sources also don't need to be strictly on the internet, for example, plenty of references included on various article are to books. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:47, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
A part of the railway forums is a railway newspaper called Resiina or Resina which is reliable, and if enough people in the forums say one thing like: This tunnel is a tunnel, anyways here is image of cool long tunnel, then you can say that this is a reliable thing that this tunnel exists if this, the newspaper, and a news article exists, i think you can say the tunnel and railway exists. toaster (talk) 17:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
@CybersparkTheProtogen: Simply existing does not make them notable enough for a Wikipedia article and forums themselves will not be treated as reliable, based on the previous mention of it being user generated content. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:54, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
The newspaper is not user generated content, instead it is made by railway museums across finland together, that has been making newspapers since the 1990s. toaster (talk) 18:06, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Nana (entertainer, born 2001)

I created a draft based on the redirected article and expanded it from the original content. The article was redirected some time ago, though I don’t believe it should have been. It seems the editor who was reviewing the article left the template in place but hasn’t been active recently. I’m wondering what steps should be taken at this point. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 01:55, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

@Btspurplegalaxy: Ideally, I think we'd move it to main space (if the reviewer saw fit) and history merge the old page to the new. I wasn't available to handle said action at the time, which is why I declined it, but truthfully I still should have left a message to go along with it. With that said, I'm not sure there's a significant enough difference, though there clearly is some, between this version and the one that was redirected as a result of the AfD. I do recognize there's more references, and it's been improved upon, but I'm not sure it'd survive at AfD if sent there again. Pinging @RachelTensions for their thoughts, as they had originally nominated the main space page to AfD. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:17, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
I still don't see much that would establish notability outside of her groups and/or the reality show that created those groups; there is little sigcov that covers her in specific. If another reviewer at AfC feels differently then I'm all ears. RachelTensions (talk) 14:38, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
@RachelTensions You mentioned that she doesn't have much notability outside of her group, but that's not entirely true. She has acting roles and hosting experience, so it's not like she has nothing to build on. I can understand if it were just a few appearances, but she does have a solid foundation to work with. I often come across articles about Korean idols whose activities don't even compare to hers, yet they still have articles. I'm honestly not sure how that part was overlooked.

Future material

Some time ago WP:FUTUREALBUMS was updated. Back then it stated that "n article about a near-future but not yet released album qualifies for inclusion if critical information about that album has been confirmed in reliable sources. This must include the title, cover image, release date, track listing, and other critical information as required in an album article. A separate article should not be created until such information is available and confirmed by the musician and/or their record label, and reported upon by reliable sources." Now it's a little accommodating. However, Upcoming Drake/PartyNextDoor album doesn't even have a title, no release date was announced, no cover art. My question is how did it manage to stay up for this long? dxneo (talk) 22:57, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Blech... This is probably one of those situations where there's so many sources for it that people don't really have the stomach to delete it at AfD. I agree with your concerns, it's frustrating at times when you stumble upon this sort of thing in the NPP qeue. Also, sorry for the late response @Dxneo, I missed a few comments on my talk page.

Talk:Pro Football Reference

I believe our disagreement is more significant to you than I first thought. My apologies. I hope we can work it out quickly. - Hipal (talk) 23:46, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

The first step would be to not remove feedback from your talk page without response. However I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of a number of our policies, guidelines, and explanatory essays based on our further discussion and your tendency to throw a link out at the wrong time and places. I oppose kneejerk changes that make the article work, especially considering it's linked from almost every NFL player, coach, and executive. It's not helpful to edit war over text that has been in the article for over 11 years, but that's a matter for the discussion. As mentioned at the talk page, I ask that you discuss any further changes you make to the page, given that you've misunderstood when using a primary source is appropriate and removed relevant references (calling it linkspam) after this discussion was started. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:53, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
I responded here. Sorry that I didn't make that clearer.
We disagree on policies. Your dismissals of my opinions are unhelpful.
It takes two to edit-war.
Sorry I didn't start the talk page discussions immediately. I'm genuinely surprised that there's any disagreement at all on any of the matters.
I hope the third opinion will make it easier from this point. --Hipal (talk) 18:58, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

RFD relisting at

To reply to your post at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2025_January_20#South_Korea_women's_national_kho_kho_team (ping failed to send since it was unsigned), all pages deleted at RFD need to be tagged and properly bundled to give interested parties a chance to participate and it's hit or miss if people will actually do follow-up nominations of redirects discussed, but not properly bundled. When the other discussed redirects are clearly very similar to the one in question, the RFD hasn't been relisted since they were brought up, and there isn't something more that would push for immediate deletion (e.g. BLP issues) there's no harm in relisting it and encouraging bundling. In this case, it wouldn't have mattered since you intended to make a future batch nomination, but obviously I wouldn't have known that. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 19:36, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Ah dang, I failed to sign the discussion, no wonder I never got a reply. Fair enough, more than one way to approach things, and I understand where yours is coming from. I personally don't like to add to a nom that far in, but I understand your goal and I respect it. Thanks for the response @Patar knight! Hey man im josh (talk) 19:46, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

RMs and Autopatrolled

Hey Josh -- just wondering if I applied for autopatrolled at WP:RFPERM if you'd support it... seeing as how you just had to patrol a non-insignificant number of RM related redirects. Technically only "created" 21 non-redirect pages. TiggerJay (talk) 16:42, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Tiggerjay, redirects are not part of what's considered for autopatrolled user rights. In fact, we actually have a pseudo-right which we refer to as redirect autopatrolled that we use for people who create a lot of redirects but don't currently qualify for autopatrolled. A bot goes through the lost of people and marks redirects created by them as reviewed. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:48, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

AfC question

Hey Josh, I was wondering if you could re-check my page? It's Erica Gordon, and one of the more recent ones. Thanks Noah20112910 (talk) 20:46, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

@Noah20112910, I missed this message as it was added to a different discussion. I'm sorry, but I do not provide reviews at AfC upon request. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:46, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Cleveland Browns History

love your work - but i wonder if some notation should be included to describe in the 90's that the "old" cleveland browns became the current Baltimore Ravens and that explains the 4 year gap when Nobody represented the city of Cleveland in the NFL - and the "new" Cleveland Browns essentially became an expansion team when their new team was created at the end of the 90's - glad cleveland fought to retain the naming rights for their teamm - wish the city of Baltimore at done the same with the "Colts" - I am 65 and still have trouble identifying with the Colts and Indianapolis - and I have long given up on identifying where the Raiders call Home - in my mind they will always be the Oakland Raiders Auburn1159 (talk) 16:08, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you @Auburn1159! I actually do intend that to add something to List of Cleveland Browns seasons about this, and that's what's been holding it up for me from nominating it for featured status. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:09, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Question

Do you know where I can make a discussion review for an article that got redirected from an AFD? MoviesandTelevisionFan (talk) 00:41, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

@MoviesandTelevisionFan: I see that the version that was redirected at AfD is fairly different than the one that was redirected based on that old AfD. My opinion is that if a G4 wouldn't apply in a situation, you'd be fine to ask the editor(s) to start a new AfD. In this case, I went ahead and reverted the redirect for you. But, typically, it'd be best to highlight that the page is significantly different than the one at AfD to the editor (Diannaa) who did the redirecting. However, now that I'm writing this out, it's not as significantly different as I initially thought... so perhaps work on flushing it out a bit more. I'm not sure it'd survive at AfD in all honesty, but I think it's worth a discussion at least based on the way the article has been improved. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:41, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
Hm, you know, on reflection, I may have been in the wrong reverting @Diannaa here. The text is fairly close to that that was redirected, but it's formatted differently. The primary different is that there's more references now but the rationale at that discussion may still apply, in that, there's concerns they're basically only notable for that film. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:45, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
Chiming in since I initially marked the article as reviewed when I saw it in the new pages queue. I think it is fair to keep the article in mainspace for now – Eastman was still alive at the time of the initial AfD, and there have been many obituaries published that could count towards notability (including several that aren't in the article like [3][4][5]). Since more than one editor has attempted to restore the article since the initial discussion, I think it would be best to start another AfD if there are notability concerns.

MAHA

Hi. I'm new to this page review thing so advise very welcome. I'm looking at this article and thinking a/ The content is minimal to say the least. b/ It seems unlikely that anyone is going to want to (or possibly be able to) improve it after all this time. What would you do as a reviewer? What would your thinking be? Thanks. Lukewarmbeer (talk) 19:10, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

@Lukewarmbeer: I suspect you may have meant to link MAHA based on the CSD tag of yours that I recently declined ({{speedy deletion-no content}} is not appropriate for dab pages). Disambiguation pages may disambiguate two entries, and that's perfectly fine. They're simply meant to be a sort of directory for possibly ambiguous terms. If I find a dab page that disambiguates only two or three entries, I typically mark is as reviewed, so long as the disambiguation makes sense. With that said, your link there (to Maha) actually shows that MAHA may be unnecessarily duplicating a portion of the information. I think you'd be fine to redirect the capitalized version, so long as you make sure to include Hockey Manitoba, which is missing, at the target dab page. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:14, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
Lovely. I'll have another go :O) Lukewarmbeer (talk) 19:28, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

And another one!

Keep knocking them out, Josh! All the best, John. - Bringingthewood (talk) 00:32, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

@Bringingthewood: Hell yeah John, that's the plan, to keep knocking them out. Every ten days on average, best case scenario. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:42, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
If that's the case, you better start a new talk page! I take off one night and another one appeared. I should give you my cell number so you can warn me first, lol. Great job! Regards, John. - Bringingthewood (talk) 00:48, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
