Notice

SandDoctor want were you trying to warn me for and went is your discussion with me because I don't understand. Tbiw (talk) 09:52, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

@Tbiw: You left a username warning notice on User:TransAmerica Express. When I merged it I was letting you know that these notices should only ever be left on user talk pages, not userpages. (User pages do not end pings to editors whereas talk page notices do...there is a strong argument for missing a notice on a talk page because of that.) --TheSandDoctor Talk 16:56, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Tbiw (talk) 13:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Ralph Sprenkels

Hello, TheSandDoctor. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Ralph Sprenkels".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! TheImaCow (talk) 08:16, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

The full-protection of Indigenous Aryans

The RfC is now closed (as no consensus), so we might as well reduce the protection level to semi-protected. I would keep it at that, since the topic is subject to some non-constructive input (two bans were issued in the course of the RfC). Due to the RfC outcome, which can be viewed as a failure to arrive at consensus to include the term "fringe", I don't think the editwar that led to the full-protection will resume, and there are other things to do at that page (I just tried to fix a typo, and realized I couldn't).  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  19:26, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

@SMcCandlish: Sorry for the delay...I saw your ping, but I was at work and couldn't do it. I just looked now and Mazca beat me to it. Thanks for leaving the message though! --TheSandDoctor Talk 03:43, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
It's all good. I did the cleanup I was aiming to do. :-)  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  10:14, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Articles that constitute notability?

Hi SandDoctor,

Hope you are doing well and staying safe. The last few weeks since I last send a message about the deleted page "Eddie Zajdel" I have been keeping an eye out for any articles online that could consitiute notability. I have found a couple more on the internet, would these articles below allow to page to become an article? Like I mentioned before, it is my goal to one day create a Wikipedia page for someone and I am learning in the process. Let me know if these work?

The articles below are the ones that I have already sent a couple weeks ago. I am just including these here for future reference by you in case you would like access.

Please let me know what your feelings are on this topic. Do these articles work? I am leraning day by day on how to be a good Wikipedia contributer. Are these the articles that I should generally be searching for when creating pages for people? MatthewFayer (talk) 00:09, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

If you still feel that these do not constitute notability, could you make this article userified? MatthewFayer (talk) 00:10, 8 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MatthewFayer (talkcontribs) 00:06, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

@MatthewFayer: Unfortunately, these links that you have provided do not. I can userfy it for you, but that would be on the condition that you don't move it to the main article space without either going through WP:AFC or with an experienced editor's approval. (This is not intended as a "punishment" of any sort, merely to help you avoid WP:AFD.) --TheSandDoctor Talk 15:05, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I would like to have it userfied if you can do that MatthewFayer (talk) 18:29, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

@MatthewFayer: moved to User:MatthewFayer/Eddie Zajdel per the above conditions. --TheSandDoctor Talk 02:40, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
  • NOTE POST ARCHIVE: Above links have spaces added as the domains have been blacklisted in the time since the edit was made by MatthewFayer to my talk page 8 May 2020. --TheSandDoctor Talk 16:32, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, TheSandDoctor, I see that the above user's name change (from Bino&Pippa) has been processed. You originally blocked them with a username soft-block as a name implying shared use, so I went ahead and unblocked, and just wanted to drop you a note letting you know. Thanks, Writ Keeper  16:11, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

@Writ Keeper: Thanks for reaching out. --TheSandDoctor Talk 16:13, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

First, thank you for blocking the recent sockpuppet, BrownVilleXBD. I'd just like to make sure about another previous account that was blocked indefinitely a few days ago, DangerousDXLB. It was blocked, but not tagged as a sockpuppet. I'm not sure if all users can tag or if only administrators should, so thought I should let you know. Thanks. Magitroopa (talk) 17:10, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Also just found an IP with this one edit, but that should definitely pass WP:DUCK as well. Magitroopa (talk) 17:12, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

New sockpuppet of peteski132

Please add emet77 to latest sockpuppet of Peteski132 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Peteski132/Archive#Clerk,_CheckUser,_and/or_patrolling_admin_comments_3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pat_Day — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.215.212.25 (talkcontribs) 16:24, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Possible IP sockpuppet

User:2402:8100:3907:FD8E:6853:FE1F:E48D:EF87, IP sockpuppet of User:Tony590? Actions from this IP was removing AfD template in GHSS Machad. Tony590 had been warned by an editor for his AfD template removal. KMagz04 (talk) 13:39, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

@KMagz04: Reports like this should be made at WP:SPI. This report of the IP address is also 5 days old. Given that most IP addresses are dynamic and reallocated regularly, this is too stale to action. --TheSandDoctor Talk 17:13, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Given that the SPI case has been closed, this would be uncertain to report this IP. KMagz04 (talk) 23:34, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
