December 2022

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Category:Hefty Records albums. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

Hello, EchidnaLives,

Please do not remove soeedy deletion tags for pages that you have created. Don't worry, as long as a category is no longer empty, it will not be deleted. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:38, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I've never had anything nominated for speedy deletion before. I'll keep that in mind for next time. Thanks, echidnaLives - talk - edits 01:39, 22 December 2022 (UTC).

Richard Cobden

Thanks for your suggestions and input. I will leave the disputed text for now but I would like to discuss it with you. Yours. (Also, you reverted all my edits not just the one to which you apparently took exception.) 107.127.46.21 (talk) 06:16, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Apologies for reverting them all, the tool I use called Huggle uses the Rollback feature, which reverts all of the edits made by someone on a page.

You can reinstate most of the edits, but phrases like noting the lad's passionate addiction to study, solemnly warned him against indulging such a taste, as likely to prove a fatal obstacle to his success in commercial life. aren't very neutral and shouldn't be included.

Thanks, echidnaLives - talk - edits 06:18, 22 December 2022 (UTC).

Alisson

Hi, according to the page history of Talk:Alisson, you have closed the discussion but the page has not been moved to it's intended destination in the nomination for it to be moved. Therefore, Alisson Becker is still a redirect page. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 14:51, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks @Iggy the Swan for telling me. I've moved the page now. Thanks, echidnaLives - talk - edits 21:56, 23 December 2022 (UTC).

Alien talk: Romulus

Hello, EchidnaLives. So this is a page you created and I'm not sure why it's in the mainspace. It seems to be just a talkpage WikiProject banner. I'm not really sure how WP:AFC/R works but I don't think this is a viable redirect. Thanks. VickKiang (talk) 01:03, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

On another look, is this supposed to be the talk page for the redirect Alien Romulus? Thanks. VickKiang (talk) 01:06, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

@VickKiang Well that is certainly odd. Must be an issue with the AFC/R script. I'll fix it and contact the creator. Sorry about this. echidnaLives - talk - edits 01:08, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

I believe it was caused by the : in the title. I think I've seen a similar issue before. I'll look into it a bit, but it's been fixed now. Thank you for letting me know! echidnaLives - talk - edits 01:10, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Now deleted by Fastily, thanks for sorting this out. VickKiang (talk) 01:29, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Question from V.B.Speranza (23:51, 27 December 2022)

Hey there, I’ve done a new article, but the name of it still has Draft:, how do I remove it from the title? --V.B.Speranza (talk) 23:51, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello @V.B.Speranza, welcome to Wikipedia!

I assume you are talking about Draft:Vincent Speranza? There are 2 ways to move an article to the "mainspace". You can move it there, or you can submit it for review. At the moment, you can not move it by yourself because you have not been on Wikipedia for 4 days and made 10 edits. Once you do that, there will be an option near the edit and history buttons in the top left to move it, and remove the draft prefix. See Help:Moving a page.

You can also use a process called Articles for Creation. Through this process, you can submit an article for review, and an experienced editor like me can have a look at it, and accept it or decline it, and give you feedback. I will add the Articles for Creation banner to your draft, which will allow you to use this process. Just click the button thats says 'Submit'. It is recommended that you use this process for your first article. (While it says drafts can take up to 4 months to review, this is very rarely true and it's usually reviewed within a week or 2. However, if it isn't let me know and I'll try and prioritise it).

Now, looking at your draft. It's a good start, however it needs more sources to prove notability. Notability is a set of guidelines that determine that it is suitable to be on Wikipedia. To meet these guidelines, you need several independent and reliable sources (ideally about 3) backing up the information in your article. You also may want to add some additional information about them, enough to get a general idea of what they did and who they were, before you submit. While this isn't a requirement, it's highly recommended. You can of course, add more information later on.

Looking at your username, you may also have a conflict of interest. Because of this, it may be difficult to remain neutral, which is key on Wikipedia. See Conflict of Interest and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide for more information.

For more information, it may be good to read Your first article and Writing better articles (however that one is longer and more complicated). If you need any help, let me know, or for a possibly quicker response, head to the Teahouse, a friendly place to get some help and advice. Thank you, echidnaLives - talk - edits 00:28, 28 December 2022 (UTC).

Apologies, I can not add the Articles for Creation banner at the top. If you want to submit it, place {{subst:submit}} at the top of the page, or let me know. Thanks, echidnaLives - talk - edits 00:32, 28 December 2022 (UTC).

AfC

Hi. I'm just curious that you didn't notice the obvious clues to paid editing: "I hope this revised bio accurately reflects your background and accomplishments. Please let me know if you have any feedback or if you would like to make any further changes" when you declined Draft:George Garsevanishvili. I was going to reject it but you pipped me to the post. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:13, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

@Kudpung: Hello, thanks for telling me. Looking at the edit history, the creator removed it from the draft before I clicked on it, so I never saw it. Sorry about that, I’ll keep an eye out in the future. Thanks, echidnaLives sock - talk - edits 06:22, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Sock at AFCRC

In case you didn't notice, Misspelled page (talk · contribs) was a sockpuppet, so I requested that they were blocked. An admin has deleted the redirects they requested accordingly. — Qwerfjkl talk 08:18, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know! echidnaLives - talk - edits 02:55, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
