Move

Please move Category:Governors-General of India to Category:Governors-general of India per move to governor-general (common noun). Cactus🌵 spiky ツ 04:57, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done fr33kman 12:43, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cactusisme: Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason you didn't want to move that yourself?
Also, I just noticed that it's empty. If it's not going to be populated, let's delete it for the time being. -- Auntof6 (talk) 13:56, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's not empty. Merely, the pages haven't been moved from the old category title to the new category yet. 76.126.231.56 (talk) 15:36, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm... when I looked, it looked like both were empty. In any case, the pages hadn't moved in part because the old category had a regular redirect instead of a category redirect. I just fixed that and moved the entries, so everything looks good now. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:29, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Alright thanks. Cactus🌵 spiky ツ 04:24, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disturbance of wikipedia

Wikipedia:Simple_talk#Hi!, edit from today, at 16.14.

Please consider, to Delete or hide the thread.

(The thread, from May 3, starts with, "Is this Encyclopedia Britannica? Do I have to be smart to be an editor? Where do I get a neutral point of view? Are you the Department of Education? ...") . 2001:2020:C305:834B:A4E3:EAED:D1EB:1520 (talk) 17:38, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (without making a big deal)?

Ukraine-Nazi Germany Relations. En-wiki does not have the title.--Do i think that the title, is non-goodFaith?--Well, i think it should be Deleted, because the title is not a known subject (and also, Nazi-Germany invaded Ukraine, so the "-Relations" part, is meaningless, one might say).--QD? Although i am not sure what the formal justification, should be.--Disturbance of wikipedia? 2001:2020:C305:834B:A4E3:EAED:D1EB:1520 (talk) 21:10, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Making this comment here as this person's on a new IP what seems like every minute so seems pointless heading to their talkpage, Anyway my apolgies @2001:2020:C305:834B:A4E3:EAED:D1EB:1520 for reverting you here, I did revert you based on the infoboxes and only just saw you had also added leads too, I've now rewritten the leads[1],
Just an FYI we don't have individual infoboxes - We just have one main one which at Enwiki (and probably elsewhere) is the very top infobox, Thanks, ) –Davey2010Talk 22:44, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]


The title looks like something that is (made-up or) construed, as part of a Victory Day celebration, in a neighboring dictatorship.--Opening up a bag of popcorn, and 'quietly' observing, as propaganda titles, come 'to town' , or to Simple-wiki. 2001:2020:C305:834B:1804:FAEA:FEA3:2E33 (talk) 04:55, 4 May 2025 (UTC) /original poster[reply]

Brainrot-thingy, now kept at En-wiki

En-wiki now has article with Italian_brainrot. That article, got a Speedy Keep, c. 29 April.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_brainrot

Now, i will start, 'that' article, Italian brainrot (meme)).

Feel free to not make language-link (interwiki), to En-wiki, for the longest time.

I am fine with the article, quickly becoming 'locked for IP-users'; On the other hand, one can use the article as a recruiting tool, and revert all non-good edits, and say "Take your idea to Talk-page, first".

A big thank you to all admins (and others), who kept the stuff off wikipedia, while it still was non-notable.--We did things the right way, in my opinion. 2001:2020:C305:834B:1804:FAEA:FEA3:2E33 (talk) 05:36, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The stuff that was salted for six months: I am now thinking that, just 'let that salt remain (for those titles), and in six months or whatever, things will fall in place, automatically.--It is not a big deal, 'more or less'. 2001:2020:C305:834B:1804:FAEA:FEA3:2E33 (talk) 05:53, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

just because something is on enwiki, doesn't mean that we HAVE to create an article. We are a separate project. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:09, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Talkpage deletion and protection request

Hi, Could someone delete Talk:AI Brainrot animals and protect it until 23 October 2025 to match the article protection please?, I know this may be fruitless but it's worth a shot, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am thinking it is better to leave it alone.--Now, someone has 'made their case', about 'keeping' an 'odd title'; Now, that person has six months to wait for that title being 'opened', for possible re-creation.--I am fine with all of that. 2001:2020:C305:834B:AD2A:106A:4BE3:B12 (talk) 18:30, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was talking about the article copypaste above it.... which is abuse of the talkpage, No point removing it because these people will just reinstate it or repaste the same crap again, Look at the amount of times the article has alresdy been created and tell me my theory is wrong. Should be deleted. Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 18:41, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am thinking it is better to leave that talk-page, alone.--One day, 'the Tik-Tok crowd' will have moved on to bigger and better things.--Half a year from now, will be a fine time to 'revisit' a Delete of the talk-page. 2001:2020:C305:834B:AD2A:106A:4BE3:B12 (talk) 19:22, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if you're aware but the page has to be deleted per WP:G8 anyway as there's no accompanying article with it, The RFD !vote there is meaningless as the RFD has long been closed,
I'm not sure if you're objecting to the deleting or protecting but if it's the latter then sure I'm not fussed either as looking at the logs it was only repeatedly created from 21-23 April so protection may not be needed after all, Still I'll leave this as is and a passing admin can decide, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:30, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done. We don't retain talk pages of articles that don't exist. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 21:03, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move request for San Diego

I request a move from San Diego, California to San Diego, because this city is the primary topic for the name. It will also match the title on English Wikipedia. 11USA11 (talk) 23:33, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@11USA11: We could do that, but is there a reason you don't want to do it yourself? -- Auntof6 (talk) 01:54, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Auntof6 I can't. The page currently at San Diego has more than one revision, so I can't move a page over that title. 11USA11 (talk) 02:15, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@11USA11: Ah! Ok, the move is done. I left a redirect behind, which you are welcome to turn into a disambiguation page if you want. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:36, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(I am going to pass, in regard to putting a QD tag, a second time (for that recreated article).)

Revdel/oversight request

Hi, Could someone remove 209.237.105.105 (talk • contribs • CA • deleted contribs • nuke contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log)'s edits from Talk:Main Page as they've literally took up 2-3 pages of history with their idiotic nonsense, I recall Griffofwales doing this with an IP here so thought I'd ask if it could be done with this person too, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 18:56, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done --M7 (talk) 18:59, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @M7, Sorry I meant like Talk:Cake where the users name and edits were removed completely from the history, I'm guessing with Talk:Cake it was an oversight thing, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:03, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok Davey2010, I've re-opened your request, I have only done a revision deletion. Thanks, --M7 (talk) 19:07, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, Thanks for your help anyway :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:10, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've just realise the page was actually deleted and then undeleted not revdelled/oversighted so my bad, I suspect the individual here wont stop so deleting/undeleting here may be a waste of time anyway, Just seems such a ball ache going through 2-3 pages worth of history but it is what it is I guess, Thanks again for your help anyway, I'll take revdel over nothing so win win as far as I'm concerned, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:19, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to point out that this user is already partially blocked on the English Wikipedia, and unable to create pages for similar issues there. I don't know if we can use WP:ONESTRIKE to give the same partial block here, but it could be considered.

Unpopular opinion; Given the article creation-ban at Enwiki and the subsequent ANI thread linked above BigKrow should be banned from creating articles here too, One would've assumed given these 2 issues that BK would've learned from those 2 mistakes and did things differently but seemingly not.

President-elect of Ecuador could use either a semi-protection or it may be possible to range block based on the closeness of the IPs. There is a consensus as per the RFD to keep it as a redirect, but IPs keep restoring it to their preferred article.

Ivan P. Clarin

moved from WP:ST per suggestions of others

Ivan P. Clarin (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)

I believe we need to consider the application of WP:ONESTRIKE with regard to the above named editor. The user is blocked on the English Wikipedia for persistent addition of unsourced material and refusal to communicate. I note similar behaviors here. In March, they received a final warning for the creation of bad pages. Since then, it appears that they have made even more bad pages. I tagged a few as QD yesterday that were recreations of articles that had been deleted at RFD previously. In a quick glance at their last 1000 edits, I see one contribution to a discussion at an RFD. Otherwise, the user is not engaging on talk pages or discussions.

A ONESTRIKE should be considered based on there being a final warning in March and based on the same editing pattern that led to the block at En. At the least, a restriction from creating new pages should be applied. CountryANDWestern (talk) 12:42, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Taksoh17

It appears that Taksoh17 (talk · contribs) is editing while logged out as 46.34.55.184 (talk · contribs) in order to influence/control the outcome of the Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2025/Devan Leos (3rd nomination). The IP, which hadn't edited since March, arrived 27 minutes after Taksoh17's last edit at the RFD to close it inappropriately. The IP behavioral evidence includes them both editing Sean Bloom (2 of the 3 editors to edit it) and similar phrasings, such as the use of "AFDs" to refer to our "RFDs." Could an admin look at this situation and consider whether any actions/warnings are warranted? Thank you, CountryANDWestern (talk) 20:15, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CountryANDWestern Happy for a neutral admin to review. I'd like to point out that @CountryANDWestern is a newer editor, so while their enthusiasm is appreciated, they may not have a full grasp on policy, especially regarding WP:AFD . First, according to Wikipedia:Non-admin closure, non admins are allowed to close discussions that are obviously a keep.
There seems to be no consensus, and apparently now a user is canvasing Reddit to encourage deletion of the article (rather concerning). As such, the closure of the discussion for lack of consensus (which = keep) does not seem inappropriate.
Numerous editors at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2025/Devan Leos (3rd nomination) have made strong arguments in favor of keeping the page, and the page has survived deletion requests two times within the last few months. To be clear, the most recent nomination was weak, and only one other editor seems to have made a strong and detailed argument in favor of deletion. If there is a policy violation please let me know.

Weird behavior

this user is behaving really werid. very fast and many edits in small period of time. mutiple vandalism warnings. they appear possibly to be hiding vandalism in-between copy edits. I dont have time to look into what I am reporting I maybe wrong but still its a large amount of unsourced material and date changing. Id recommend if you know how look at what triggered it to show up on the patrols, as I say stuff there. I may be wrong. I just cant look through all of there edits. again I apologies if im wrong. but something to look into. its not a full allegation its just to many edits to look through.

User:Nikolai Kurbatov

This editor was blocked at the end of last year. I don't know the actual reason for that, but I am concerned about the large number of mini-stubs they created, mainly about sportspeople who may not be notable due to lack of significant coverage.

I am seeing similarities between Nikolai's stubs on here, and those created at enwiki by Lugnuts. This is especially evident in the cricket sphere because, in the overwhelming majority of Nikolai's stubs, the only sources cited are the statistical databases ESPNcricinfo and CricketArchive. The latter of those is paywalled, and is not the most reliable of sources. Taking this a step further forward, Lugnuts also created a mass of Olympic stubs based on minimal information in Olympedia, just like Nikolai's Kim Bub-min, in fact.

I'm presently trying to create order out of near-chaos in the cricket categories, and I'm beginning to anticipate nomination of dozens, perhaps scores, of bio-stubs for deletion.

This is a heads-up, really, as I can't yet say what the scale of the problem might be, but it does seem to me that I'm in familiar territory. Thanks. Jack (talk) 15:30, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also how would you know if they're going to create any upcoming articles?.

non admin comment: Hi @Ieditrandomarticles,
  • Nope you don't need to be administrator to use it,
  • Generally speaking yes you're supposed to ask for the flood flag before using it if doing repetitive edits however getting a response from any admin can take 8+ hours so I personally use it without the flood flag (generally speaking I try to use it at night time/early hours of the morning when no one's on), Unfortunately in the past when I used to wait for a response sometimes it would be declined anyway so yeah I just crack on without it but yeah expect to be messaged about it constantly if you do go down that route),
Please be aware not all issues on there can be fixed (such as "table end") - You should preview all edits you make to make sure you're not messing the page up one way or another, Hope this helps, Thanks –Davey2010Talk 16:35, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delay. I have re-introduced your changes and added those incorrect detections to the bot's training database so future similar changes will be judged correctly as good ones. One of the detection methods the bot uses is to look for words that appear more frequently in vandalism, and in this case, unfortunately the ISO language code "hi" was incorrectly detected to be vandalism, especially since there weren't any other content introduced in the change. In future, if you think that you were incorrectly reverted, please go ahead to re-do your change. The bot will not revert the same editor-page combination more than once over a 24 hour period.

Cross-wiki promotion & likely conflict of interest

Regarding users...

These users are engaging in cross-wiki promotion of Fernando Nano Sosa. Each is blocked at the Spanish Wikipedia for (per translation): "Creating pages or edits for self-promotion: Account with particular purpose + Conflict of interest."

Here at Simple, they are creating articles about him and his single film, 47, el muerto. They are adding him to TV shows as if he is a notable aspect of its creation. They are creating articles like Horror_and_Fantasy_Cinema_in_Argentina#Historical_Revisionism_and_Political_Horror to attempt to frame his work as vital. I issued each a ONESTRIKE warning ([2] [3]) regarding their spamming/promotion of Sosa a couple of days ago. Today they returned to editing about Sosa at the now deleted Sosa article. I'm requesting admin review to determine whether their actions necessitate a reciprocal block. CountryANDWestern (talk) 01:32, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding speedy deletion of Satish Raj

Hello, I would like to respectfully raise a concern about the recent speedy deletion of the article Satish Raj.

The deletion tag was added by 2001:2020:303:BB75:3CC2:307E:962A:5791, who mentioned that "if the article is not on English Wikipedia, then it is not notable on Simple Wikipedia." I believe this is a misunderstanding of Wikipedia's notability guidelines, as notability should be based on reliable sources, not presence on another language Wikipedia.

Within seconds, I added the {wait} tag and politely asked for clarification, but the page was deleted before any response could be provided. The article was not a draft—it included a complete biography, awards, categories and references.

As someone contributing with sincerity, I’m left unsure what the actual issue was, and feel discouraged. I also noticed the IP who tagged the page had no visible user profile or significant edit history. My concern is whether editors should be allowed to tag articles for deletion without review, especially if they are not established contributors. It may lead to confusion or even feel like a personal attack to new users.

I deeply respect the Wikipedia guidelines and the work of administrators. If I’ve posted this in the wrong place, I sincerely apologize. I’m only trying to understand the process better and ensure good-faith contributions are given a fair chance.

Thank you. 🙏 Moulyags (talk) 14:53, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I deleted the page because I did not find a claim of notability listed. It had nothing to do with whether or not it exists on enwiki. We have thousands of pages here that enwiki doesn't have. Regards fr33kman 18:36, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BRPever and @Barras, I already said that I listed the main sources, I updated the page thoroughly and accurately, however, the user Barras, removed 80% of the content, replacing it with the wrong content and with only Top 10, instead of Top 100 oldest people ever, so the best solution would be, do you want Top 10 or Top 100? Дејан2021 (talk) Дејан2021 (talk) 16:58, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Дејан2021 Hi, I'd say we keep it to top 10 that makes it fairly easier to update to make sure it's accurate. Also, readers are generally only interested in top ten and having a list of 100 makes it unnecessarily long, and adds a lot to maintenance work. BRP ever 23:01, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@BRPever, Ok, I agree too, although I managed to regularly update the Top 100 as well, and the Top 10 will be perfectly fine and easier after I do the formatting later and add more References (one other independent source for each person from Top 10). As for living people, they will be in accordance with the official data of GRG and LQ, combining both sources, because some cases are not validated by both organizations, and for our article it is enough that it is validated by at least one organization, such as GWR, GRG, ESO and LQ...

+1 - Most established users here are aware C&W is a CLEANSTART account and fwiw CLEANSTARTS aren't forbidden (unless C&W is an LTA/sock which I'm assuming isn't the case here).
The title of this thread is also misleading as tagging articles and reporting LTAs is improving and building the encyclopedia. Not every edit here needs to be article-expansion/created related.
Provide diffs that C&W is an LTA and or not here to build an encyclopedia and your complaint will be taken a lot more seriously.

Hello to all of you, yes, RFCU is that way, but there are two basic problems here. While I, as a Checkuser can make a link between a named user an an an IP address, I am not allowed to tell anyone. And secondly, the checkuser policy forbids what is called a 'fishing expedition'. So, unless there's a concrete request, there's little to do here. And I don't know if you know them, but the Salem witch trials were started by a group of adolescent girls, who accused a number of people; at least 30 people died. The villagers believed those teenage girls; and iirc the teenage girls, who admitted they invented most of it, a few years later weren't even punished; that was in the 1600s, so 400 years ago.

Non-authorized removal of QD-tags, has now happened again. 2001:2020:309:CBE7:247D:46C0:A810:7B74 (talk) 17:59, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Because you have been abusing the function to the point that it can be considered disruptive, if not vandalism, depending on context. It is better to avoid such IDIDNTHEARTHAT behaviour, and engage constructively when this is a collaborative project. Steven1991 (talk) 18:02, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Look, there is a slim chance that you can keep "your" article Sejwal (caste), and that is by you (or anyone) taking it to Delete-discussion or AfD.--However, the QD-tag is fair, but maybe you can find a 'sympathetic user' that can 'convert' the QD, into an AfD. 2001:2020:309:CBE7:247D:46C0:A810:7B74 (talk) 18:09, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That article is not written by me. I am not involved in that topic area. I am commenting on your behavioural pattern as a third-party observer. Would you please learn to listen to others’ concerns? Steven1991 (talk) 18:11, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop placing QD tags using notability as a reason. Lack of notability is not qd criteria, and lack of an enwiki article isn't either. You can see all the valid reasons at Wikipedia:Deletion policy.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 18:17, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Someone reports that the IP user is continuing the same behaviour. It does not seem to have the intention to stop. The Talk page warning that he/she had been given yesterday was also removed by him/her. Steven1991 (talk) 12:49, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
New QD-tag (as of 18:21). Justification has been 'improved'. 2001:2020:309:CBE7:247D:46C0:A810:7B74 (talk) 18:24, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Removal has happened yet again, this time by ChenzwBot.--Someone else might need to revert that edit, by that Bot. 2001:2020:309:CBE7:247D:46C0:A810:7B74 (talk) 18:29, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The bot rightfully did so. It has also left a warning on your Talk page. Desisting from it is the best course of action for you. Steven1991 (talk) 18:30, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They're now placing deletion requests/opinions at article talk pages rather than taking action themselves: 1, 2, 3, 4. It's funny, in these edits and in others, they're commenting that they're too busy working on other articles to take action but I'm not really seeing a lot of "fix[ing] articles that have passed Delete" like they say they're busy doing....

@FusionSub Is it possible for your team to handle this? The IP user seems to be causing substantial disruptions to the platform. The IP user has no intention to desist either. It continues the said abuse in Wikipedia:Sandbox. Steven1991 (talk) 16:19, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]


Talk:Sejwal (caste)#Needs Delete (or AfD).--The sooner, the better.--After that, let the chips fall where they may. 2001:2020:309:CBE7:890B:9EEE:6387:3E54 (talk) 16:17, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
