Question 6
[edit]@Vejvančický: not sure if this is a genuine question or not, but allow me to answer it for you. Unless, for some reason, they have kept an off-wiki log of their CSD noms, then it is basically impossible for any non-admins to find out what and (the user only has 65 deleted edits, so it shouldn't take too long for an admin to produce a list). --Mdann52talk to me! 10:38, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Mdann52: Yes, it is a genuine question, why not? If you do CSD properly you can find your noms quite easily also as a non-admin without personal CSD log on- or off-wiki. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 10:57, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- Btw, how do you know that the candidate has 65 deleted edits? You are not an admin ... --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 11:08, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Vejvančický: How is that, may I ask? I've tried various ways before, hence why I get Twinkle to log all of mine. toollabs:supercount tells you when you put in a username how many live and deleted edits a user has. --Mdann52talk to me! 11:20, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the toollabs link - I'm stupid. If you do CSD properly you should notify the creator of an article you nominated. The notification is not deleted and usually contains documentation such as name of the article, your user name, and relevant CSD criterion under which you nominated. If the article is deleted and you click the red link, you can see the actual reason of deletion in the log. That's all you need. It's not as easily accessible as maintaining CSD log, but it is another way of how to find that. You use Twinkle, so here is your log, I think it is almost complete. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 11:40, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, however I didn't know about that tool (it's a fairly obscure one by the looks), so expecting them to know about it is not really going to be reasonable. I thought you expected him to go through every edit he had ever made or something! --Mdann52talk to me! 11:58, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- I think that I can post my reply to your initial comment: I asked if there is any other way, and not whether the candidate is willing and able to do that. And I asked mainly because I wanted to find out whether the candidate knows about the CSD user notifications. The tool/technical aspect/comfortability is not the question here. I hope that now you understand me. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 12:14, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
