Question[edit]

Why does this page need references? Isn't it about wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Louis Sarwal (talk • contribs) 2020-07-08T18:47:55 (UTC)

All articles need references. See Project:Verifiability. Uncle G (talk) 03:01, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requests For Adminship redirect[edit]

Should Requests for adminship redirect to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship? I think that would make more sense. Viewer⁷¹⁹/_Contribs! 18:21, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I don't see any link redirecting to RFA in the section where this redirects to. Viewer⁷¹⁹/_Contribs! 18:24, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know who the admins of this wiki are[edit]

hello, I know this is not wikipedia in Spanish, but where can I see who are the administrators of this English wikipedia? Lenis Felipe (talk) 17:31, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ADMIN has general information on administrators, and this is a the list of all current admins. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 18:21, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Admin violation[edit]

This discussion is not about the article at all, which is what this talk page is for. See Project:Administrators' noticeboard or better yet Project:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard for the right place for this sort of thing. Uncle G (talk) 02:58, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I think one of the wikipedia admins is making the pages of some athletes negative by taking bribes from people, please take care of it. this admin (Lethweimaster) 2A03:EF43:A:DC56:10E4:48FF:FE25:DBD9 (talk) 00:22, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads up: This is the talk page for discussing the Wikipedia article on Wikipedia administrators, not a forum for discussing Wikipedia administrators themselves. The user in question is not an administrator, and the user's edits don't look like paid editing. Larry Hockett (Talk) 00:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a concept in psychology called projection. Projection refers to unconsciously taking traits about yourself about yourself and attributing them to someone else. A common example is a cheating spouse who suspects their partner is being unfaithful.

You are accusing me of taking bribes when I simply am commenting my opinion about the AFC articles. I can understand it can be frustrating, as we all spend hours writing articles, and they may or may not be accepted (it happened to me many times). The goal is to not take it personal.

However, it seem like you may in fact be engaged WP:PAID or maybe only WP:COI in order to get your article published. It also seems like someone (you?) are possibly engaged Sockpuppetry. As a suspicious user have created a new draft of Draft talk:Jafar Ahmedi of the same subject: Draft:Jafar Ahmadii. Once AFC was declined, 2.147.255.153 created a new draft under different name. User 2A03:EF43:A:5497:4846:70FF:FEBB:3E4B then blanked the page and moved on to Draft:Jafar Ahmadii and submitted it for review... Why so persistent with this athlete? Are you WP:PAID? If you do have a conflict of interest WP:COI or are paid you have to disclose it as per WP:PAID.

Admins: These users below, have all only edited the same subjects (Draft:Jafar Ahmadii & Draft talk:Jafar Ahmedi) in a very suspicious way.

This hero already had a page on Wikipedia and was endorsed by Wikipedia 2A03:EF43:D:15D4:6C61:DFFF:FE09:C242 (talk) 22:20, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't have a problem with this hero, why do you keep negativeizing this hero's page? 2A03:EF43:D:15D4:6C61:DFFF:FE09:C242 (talk) 22:23, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
