Good Article info

Hello Josh. Please, put this on the back burner, I know you're busy. My question is about how in the future to make the T. J. Watt page a good article. Is this an accolade or just a presentation deal? Like I mentioned earlier, my computer is out of date, no edit preview etc. etc. Just wondering if this is something I can work on for let's say a year or so to make it a good article. I hunt, so I can wait days on end for something good to happen, lol. Since 2017, I live and die with this guy for as long as he plays, and I would hope that after he retires, maybe something would be substantial on his page. If you say it's a dead issue ... not a problem. Just wanted to ask. Thank you. John Bringingthewood (talk) 02:55, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Bringingthewood. I'm glad to hear you're interested in helping to get content promoted! I think you'd be best asking @BeanieFan11 about this. Right above this post you'll actually notice that Beanie won the recent WikiCup competition and created 75 GAs in the process. Most of those, if not all, were actually related to football and the NFL. I myself have worked on featured content, but only lists, and have never actually helped to promote an article to GA, so I'm unfortunately not the best person to be able to guide you through this. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:48, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

For what it's worth though, I don't think it's a 'dead issue', and I think it's very much possible. With all the time you're probably spending in a tree stand, I'm sure you'll have time to chip away it. Be aware though, it can be a bit more difficult to get active players promoted, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a shot! Hey man im josh (talk) 12:50, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

mistakes what you did

Hey man what you did to the page of Libya–Vietnam relations it’s a very big mistake because you didn’t provide logical evidence for that that deleting so can you correct your mistake or you’ll have to blocked Lamise 2023 (talk) 08:41, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Hi! The article wasn't deleted, instead, it was draftified and moved to Draft:Libya–Vietnam relations where you can improve it further. The 2 sources aren't quite enough to establish notability of the subject. Also, many sections are unsourced, and thus can't be published per the verifiability guideline.

Asking a question normally usually sounds a lot nicer rather than threatening to get blocked. :) NotAGenious (talk) 15:51, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not threatning to have me blocked @Lamise 2023. The only part that I had in that article is deleting the redirect that was left behind from someone moving the page. The redirect left behind from the page was a cross-namespace redirect (WP:CSD R2), in this case a redirect from main space to draft space, and was deleted. The content of the page was unaffected by the redirect that was deleted. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:52, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

About your closure of emoji RfDs

Hey Hey man im josh [sic], I wanted to check in with you about your closures of the 🧑‍🦳, 👾, and 🫥 RfDs. The RfC to determine community consensus on the topic is still open, and so I was wondering why you decided to close these (and retarget all three) with the possibility that your decisions might be reversed in the forseeable future. Let me know what you think! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:37, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

@TechnoSquirrel69: Please note this reply by Firefangledfeathers. We aren't waiting on the result of an RfC at this point in time, so it felt best to close these discussions to get them out of the way. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:25, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Request

Dear Hey man im josh , Hello, Can you semi protect my Usertalkpage for indef; as per my request ; I know it is not necessary, but I'm college students and I edit on wikipedia time to time, and revert their nonconstructive edits of ip editors and other editors, I have no interested to reply some ip editor, we are very frustrated about that, please understand my probelm, neither I'm going to here. Thnx :) ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 04:36, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear Hey man im josh, I readed UTPROT, if you SEMIPROT my Usertalk page, so I feel happy neither I feel unhappy. :) ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 15:08, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear Hey man im josh , I'm waiting for your reply from 2 days, If you understand my probelm , so please help me. :) ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 14:17, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

@Aviram7: I don't typically edit on weekends, so when I start up on Monday there's usually a lot of catching up to do. I'm in the process of doing so now. It does not appear that you have been receiving severe vandalism or abuse on your talk page and, as such, applying a protection would not be appropriate. We also do not pre-emptively protect pages. As someone who did quite a lot of anti-vandalism, I'd say you should just keep reporting the vandals. If they come to your talk page and out themselves as the disruptive folk they are, all the better, because then you can report them to AIV. With that said, in the future, if you are receiving a lot of vandalism on your talk page, you should make a request at WP:RPPI. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:36, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear Hey man im josh, Thanks for your reply but We remove nonconsecutive edits on wikipedia and also try to clean wikipedia. When I revert any ip user edits, they are coming on Usertalkpage resort to vandalism and personal attacks and I don't know how to feel safe from personal attackers who directly attack on wikipedians but I'm feel well to your reply. Thanks for your understanding. :) ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 14:49, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

@Aviram7: I believe you meant nonconstructive instead of nonconsecutive? Never the less, I am absolutely well aware that nonconstructive edits are removed. Looking through your talk page history, I'm not finding anything recent in terms of these vandalism and personal attacks that you're referring to. Every editor has a right to question why their content was removed or why their edit was reverted and I'm not seeing anything recent on your talk page in terms of harassment. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear Hey man im josh, Yep! you're right I mean to say (nonconstructive) and I support your thought every editors have right to ask to why their edit has been reverted, I understand my Usertalkpage has no need to protect. :) ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 15:08, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

👾

In respect to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 October 21#👾, I am looking for advice. Point is that 👾 is now linking to a disambiguation page. According to Templates with disambiguation links, that is a problem that needs to be solved. But I fail to solve the problems in Template:Unicode chart single emojis and Template:Unicode chart Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs. Can you advice me how to solve that? The Banner talk 00:01, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey @The Banner, it looks like there's quite a few disambiguation links in those templates. While it's generally best practice not to have disambiguation pages in templates, I think that, in some cases, there are going to be exceptions to the best practice. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:47, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

A trick possible is using a link "subject (disambiguation)|subject" (a redirect to the disambiguation page) what fools the maintenance bots into believing this is not a disambiguation page (don't ask me why). But I could not not even find the symbol. The Banner talk 15:11, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

@The Banner: Looks like they're under the rows for "U+1F47x". Hey man im josh (talk) 15:15, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Mortal Kombat PRODs

Hi. I noticed that you deleted the MK Malibu Comics page due to lack of notability. Thought I'd let you know that I've just proposed Mortal Kombat Kard Game for the same reason. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 23:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured list. Keep up the great work! Cheers, PresN (talk) via FACBot (talk) 12:25, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Undiscussed conversion of redirect into disambiguation of Indian Empire

Hello Josh, the long-standing page Indian Empire has since long redirected to the article British Raj, but recently Celia Homeford created a new page Indian Empire (disambiguation) and redirected Indian Empire to her own new page. After that you moved her page Indian Empire (disambiguation) to Indian Empire. All this happened without an Rfd or talk discussion. I redirected it back to the article. Could you please revert your move too to restore the page's edit history and also protect it against further instances as the one above? PadFoot2008 (talk) 11:39, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

You are wrong and your above statement about me is false. See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 October 26#Indian Empire. Celia Homeford (talk) 11:41, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm very sorry, Celia. I should've checked the Rfd myself before coming here like a fool. I haven't been editing a lot recently except today. I'm very sorry. PadFoot2008 (talk) 11:49, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

This misunderstanding is entirely my fault @PadFoot2008. When I moved Indian Empire from Indian Empire (disambiguation) I absolutely should have included the RfD link as part of the move summary. I made a mistake and I'm glad you've brought this to my attention so that I can worker harder to not make it again. You could have checked the RfD, and I should have moved the page with an edit summary, a small trouting for both of us!

Thank you @Celia Homeford for pointing to the RfD as an explanation. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:04, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

we understand that you have reviewing the Wikipedia page for NGO organization Smiley Children Society . I am writing to you to request that you reconsider your decision

We believe that this page is important because it will help to raise awareness of organization work . It will also provide a valuable resource for people who are interested in learning more about our organization and its mission.

Thank you for your time and consideration. CAJaganaddamRJY (talk) 02:57, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

@CAJaganaddamRJY: You keep saying we. Just to be clear, are you sharing your account?

I've also not been involved with that article, so this message feels quite out of the blue to me. It sounds like you would be better off requesting that the article be moved to draft space in the AfD discussion if the outcome it trending towards delete. Hey man im josh (talk) 03:24, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear Mr.Josh,

"We" a respectable term (plural) "Collectively" is a dignified alternative to the singular term "I." CAJaganaddamRJY (talk) 03:35, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Regarding recent edit to Matthew Stafford

You didn't add a source alongside a revert that you made on the article even though in the edit summary you said you made the revert due to the previous edit being unsourced. What sources did you find that agree he is 6 feet 3 inches instead of 6 feet 2 inches? Equalwidth (C) 06:53, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

@Equalwidth: See the NFL and Pro-football-reference pages that are at the bottom of the infobox. These are what we typically use for this info. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:02, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Tags on Jill Ovens

I have reverted your removal of the tags from the article talk page. These were primarily in response to from the subject of the article. The tags were not placed there without good reason. PicturePerfect666 (talk) 22:28, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

@PicturePerfect666: It's overkill and unnecessary. Additionally, there's no archives to search but you added the options to search them. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:05, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

I don't think I put the arcihve back and if I did I certainly didn't mean to. PicturePerfect666 (talk) 03:54, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

RevDel at Kaziranga National Park

Hey, the two revisions with contributions by IMRiom23 are copyvio from here, could you revel them? AryKun (talk) 07:15, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

@AryKun: Sorry for the delay, I don't typically edit on weekends and had a busy Friday. For future reference, it's best practice to add the {{copyvio-revdel}} template a page when requesting a revdel. That way someone can handle the request more quickly. With that said, I've taken care of it. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:56, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

revert of 287 (Number)

287 (Number) is the only number page with an uppercase N. Clearly when user:ReyP02 requested its creation he made a typo when capitalizing Number. All his other request as spelled with a lowercase 'n'. Can you explain your revert? That page with a redirect has no valid reason to exist. Can you make a case to show otherwise? Dhrm77 (talk) 16:12, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

@Dhrm77: You tagged the page as {{db-error}} and I declined the CSD because but it's not clear that the page was created in error. Additionally, there doesn't initially appear to be anything obviously wrong with keeping the redirect and it's not the only redirect that exists with a capitalization (see 285 (Number)). If you feel strongly about this then you should nominated this redirect at WP:RfD, because I do not view this as uncontroversial maintenance. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:20, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing to 285 (Number). I don't know how you found this page, but that's clearly another one that doesn't need to exist. Unless you want to argue that every number page (some 400 of them) need an additional article with a capitalized N and a redirect to the proper page? I'm not shooting for "uncontroversial maintenance", I'm shooting for consistency. Dhrm77 (talk) 16:36, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

@Dhrm77: Redirects based on alternative capitalizations are extremely common and I personally have no issue with the page titles "xxx (Number)" redirecting to "xxx (number)". For what it's worth, for the numbers 1-500, there was only 2 addition redirects that existed with this formatting (13 (Number) & 22 (Number)). I'm not sure I see a reason that these would be deleted if sent to RfD, so if you feel strongly and you want to create the additional redirects, I don't really see a reason not to. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:45, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

I see your point. But I also like consistency. So either all pages have a redirect or none. Now, I understand that in some cases, for pages other than number pages, one might capitalize a word or not, and we might want a redirect to the other page. But in this case. If someone search for any number xx in the search box, one of the earliest option to choose from is "xx (number)", so one can just click on that. Another way to get to a number page is from some other number page (which always uses the lower case 'n') or some math page, which also point to the proper page. These pages 285 & 287) have also recently been created so there is no long history from some other website to be worried about. I really don't see a reason to keep the pages with a capital 'N'. BTW, I already submitted requests on Wikipedia:Rfd for these 2 pages. Dhrm77 (talk) 17:11, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

@Dhrm77: That's fine that you want consistency, I just don't personally see how deleting these redirects improves the encyclopedia in any way (redirects are WP:CHEAP). Never the less, that's a conversation to be had at the relevant deletion discussions. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Requesting autopatrol listing

Hi. I have submitted my request on Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list. Would you please review it? --Mann Mann (talk) 05:48, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Mann Mann. When submitting an application or request it's best to be patient and wait for somebody to be by at their earliest convenience. So, with that said, myself or someone else will be by to process requests at their earliest convenience. Thank you for submitting a request! Hey man im josh (talk) 13:15, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. A question: I saw your message. If I'm already in the list since March 2022, then why DannyS712 bot III still patrols/reviews my new redirects? I'm confused. --Mann Mann (talk) 18:20, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

@Mann Mann: The bot is meant to automatically patrol/review new redirects created by people who are on the list. The fact that you're receiving notifications about this means that it's working properly. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:25, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Ahh... I got it. Thanks again. Regards. --Mann Mann (talk) 18:29, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

NFL nicknames

Hey Josh! I noticed your removal of all the unsourced entries at List of NFL nicknames - I've heard of probably two-thirds of those nicknames and could probably source a decent chunk of them - would you be alright if I were to, at some point in the near future, revert your removal of the unsourced entries, source as many as I can, and then re-remove the unsourceable ones? (due to it being too time-consuming to do it all manually) Thanks. Oh, and congrats on your umpteenth FL! BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:18, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: Of course! I trust you to do so and wouldn't revert your revert of me. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:29, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Fictional city

Hello. I notice you have removed links to fictional city following Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fictional city. As you can see, the link has been recreated as a redirect to Fictional location (as it should have been). Can you revert your link removals? If you'd rather have me do so, I can do that, but I didn't want to inundate you with revert notifications without giving you a heads-up. Thanks. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:53, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Ahhh I sure do wish that was suggested in the AfD. By all means, feel free to revert or simply re-add the wikilink where appropriate @InfiniteNexus. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll get to it. InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:51, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Just an FYI, I found an even better target: List of fictional settlements. It was right there in {{Fiction navbox}}, no idea why it was never brought up in the AfD. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:15, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure why either, but I'm glad you've found multiple useful targets and restored the wikilinks where appropriate. In hindsight I feel silly for not looking for a redirect target given how many places it was linked. Yet another learning experience for me and something to think about when closing AfDs.

Deletion of Page

Hello , there was a quick deletion of the page of an entrepreneur in Sri Lanka. May I know ask why Johnmark2384 (talk) 16:29, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

@Johnmark2384: I can't tell you unless I know what page you're talking about. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

The Draft:Ravindu Nawanjana page was deleted by you about a few minutes ago.Was it because of less information or less edits made or some other reason ? Johnmark2384 (talk) 16:42, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

@Johnmark2384: Based on the page logs, it looks like I deleted a page at that title on September 27th. Looking back at it, it was deleted as unambiguously advertising or promotion, in part because it was created by an account that was named after the company he works for. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:49, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes , I realised there had been a page made by his own company as to page logs about 2 months . Is it possible to get it undeleted as I'm not related to his organisation and would like to make a page for him as his work in Sri Lanka related to the environment is currently growing and many references are made by media related to him. Johnmark2384 (talk) 17:06, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

@Johnmark2384: Pages deleted as promotional are not typically restored. Additionally, the draft that you've created at Draft:Ravindu Nawanjana already contains the information that was included on the deleted draft (it was a very small draft when deleted). Hey man im josh (talk) 17:09, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Is there any possibility of restoring the page if more data is added to Draft:Ravindu Nawanjana in the coming future ? Any if not , what would be your guidance in creating a page for the said entrepreneur in Draft:Ravindu Nawanjana Johnmark2384 (talk) 17:18, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

@Johnmark2384: There's no benefit to restoring the deleted content. What I think you're asking though is about moving the draft to the main space (as in when the draft is completed). For that I'd recommend reading through WP:Articles for creation. A couple other useful links for you are Help:Your first article and Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:25, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Medieval Latin comedy

This article was merged before becoming a redirect and should have been tagged {{R from merge}}. It needs to be undeleted to preserve attribution. Srnec (talk) 20:52, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

@Srnec: The page history now exists at Elegiac Comedy. This honours the result of the RfD, which viewed the redirect as problematic, while also maintaining attribution. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:10, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

RevDel

Picked you quasi-randomly from Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests. I think these two diffs should be suppressed as they appear to make defamatory claims about a random Italian person presumably still living: [1][2]. Mostly it's ridiculous nonsense, but the claims to have a mental age of only 6, and a few other bits, are probably suppressable.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:13, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey @SMcCandlish, I've taken care of it. PS. It's fine to leave requests like this on my talk page, but if you don't want to get more views on those revisions then sending an email is also fine :) Hey man im josh (talk) 13:11, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Oh, if you do go that route, which no pressure of course, just drop me a you've got mail notification on my talk page and I'll respond in general terms to that post or to the email directly. I also understand that leaving the request here gives an opportunity for other admins to see it and respond before I do, so there is that advantage to it. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Okey dokey. I don't come across too much of this sort of thing, and it's its bad enough I go the oversight route.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Draft question

I was told I needed to provide 2-3 sources which were reliable and independent of the subject to demonstrate notability. I have done so, what is the issue? this is about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Matti_Charlton ==

Thank you for your time. 216.209.142.143 (talk) 21:22, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

I don't have a lot of time right now and I don't typically edit much on the weekends, so you might be better off asking this at WP:AFCHELP. Additionally, you'd be best to ask the person who most recently declined your submission, @WikiOriginal-9. The version that I declined back in October is drastically different and I don't have the time to look over this version of the page right now. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Asian Games redirects

Hi, I noticed you redirects some Asian Games redlinks (in sports of wrestling, Sailing and athletics) like this Athletics at the 1951 Asian Games – Men's 10,000 metres to the main article. since you are also an admin may I ask why you did that? I mean what does this add to wikipedia? they are mostly only linked to the main page. I'm asking because I want to know if there is a policy here to not having redlinks at all? even in this case I think it's better to unlink them rather than useless redirects. you may say it doesn't hurt but I think it does. because when they are redlinks people like me will always know that article doesn't exist and should be created (if the info is available someday, because unfortunately some old results are missing) for example look at this template, 1951 and 1954 links are not red but they are not created either. I'm not fluent in English but I hope I make my point clear. Thanks Sports2021 (talk) 00:07, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

@Sports2021: There is not a policy or consensus that I've seen that says it's inappropriate to redirect an event to a more general page. Personally I don't believe the redirects are useless because if someone is looking for that event information then they'll find a relevant summary of the event at the target. I feel confident in saying that there's easily tens of thousands of these types of redirect, if not hundreds of thousands, and I think they serve a purpose. If you have a set of pages that you're interested in working on where you'd like yourself to be page creator then I'd be more than happy to G6 delete them for you. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:35, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

See also Template:R from subtopic, it's a redirect category specifically made for situations like this. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:37, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your time. I didn't say that's against the rules. I was actually asking if having redlinks (and not redirecting them) is against rule. I think it's fair to say that everybody who looks for Athletics at the 1951 Asian Games – Men's 10,000 metres will automatically check Athletics at the 1951 Asian Games.

Yes I know there are tons of those redirects and to be honest I was always disagreed with them, but they are mostly about future events, those pages will be created sooner or later. but when you do it for past events ... hmmm. unfortunately there is a chance they always remain a redirect. I absolutely don't care to be the page creator. I like them to remain redlinks mostly because that always reminds me and other wiki users that those pages should be created. let me tell you this way, I checked this page Sailing at the Asian Games and when I saw all previous games links are blue I got happy that someone had enough info to create them but then I realized they are just redirects. so I hope you accept this from me and delete them all. I hope I can create those pages someday soon though. Sports2021 (talk) 00:55, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

That's fair to disagree. How do you feel about pages in categories? When redirects are listed in categories they're listed in italics, which would make it obvious that the event title is currently a redirect. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:12, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes they are shown in italic which is at least better and helps if I have to go that rout to see which pages are not really created. but again my main point is about pages like this

Speaking of sailing, for example this page is only linked to this and this. nobody is going to click on that redirect from anywhere else and whoever does it won't like it when is redirected to the same page he was already reading. it will be useless for him. or check this what's the point of redirecting a page to the only page linked to it. that's why I called it useless. again I'm not fluent in English so I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear but I hope you get my point. Sports2021 (talk) 01:31, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi again, you just stopped answering my messages. should I consider it as a "no"? I don't think I was asking too much. Sports2021 (talk) 23:03, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

You are not being ignored. I'm working on something to address the issue. As mentioned, if you'd like to work on the pages I'll go ahead and G7 them myself. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:26, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

as I said before I don't want them to get deleted just to create them myself! who cares who is the page creator, (I don't care at least) I explained before why I think it's a bad idea, I want them to be deleted simply because I think those pages should stay red link if they are not created yet. now I noticed you did that to several other pages in other sports like Table tennis, Tennis, Soft tennis and Bowling too! now that's too much, I think I'm going to unlink them. it doesn't make sense to have a page like this where all "details" links are redirected back to the same page! Sports2021 (talk) 22:26, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

@Sports2021: I've actually asked someone to help me out with a script to semi automate the process. I believe the redirects are useful, but I also agree that circular redirects can be misleading. The goal of my request to them is to search for the specific template for summaries and check whether it is a redirect or not, and if so, comment out the summary.

2011 NFL Draft, NOTable undrafted players

Hello, sorry for bothering you.

The IP 72.133.196.210 keeps adding players who did not have notable careers to the "Notable undrafted players" section, I don't know if there is a way to block their edits, since it is quite annoying for me to have to remove those players every time it adds them.

It's been adding to all draft pages, not only in 2011. It adds literally every player, sometimes they don't even have official stats =/

P.S. Just to clarify I've left it messages on its talk page and in the edit summary, and yet it continues to add these players, I am sick of removing them repeatedly. Sergio Skol (talk) 06:10, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Sergio Skol: Wasn't this discussed at WT:NFL recently? I believe the issue was that there wasn't consensus as to what makes a player notable enough for inclusion on the list. Though I do agree with you that not every player who makes a roster should be included on the list. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Hutchinson

Hi Josh. As always, hope all is well. It takes a few edits for me not being able to view before submitting. But I added a second NFC Player of the Week for Aidan Hutchinson, using the reference from the article. It now shows the same reference listed under two different numbers. Ref#'s 23 and 26. Should one be removed? I really didn't want to say in the edit summary that it's referenced already in the article. Hope I didn't make your eyes bleed! - Regards, John Bringingthewood (talk) 23:08, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

HA! Looks like I missed a congrats for the annual scoring leaders. BIG CONGRATULATIONS! That'll teach me not to spy on people. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:30, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Bringingthewood. Yessir! One more to do the list with several others in the pipeline.

As for the Hutch ref, I can check it out in the morning. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:50, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Fantastic work! At least if I check in on your page, I might actually learn something. Believe me, it wasn't for you to have to do extra work. I thought it might be a rule to not add the same reference twice etc. etc. No big deal. Enjoy your Thanksgiving if we don't catch up by then. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:57, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Bringingthewood: No no, you can absolutely reuse references, but that usually involves naming the reference so that you can just use the name in the second instance where you would use the full reference. I'll give you an example tomorrow when I'm on my PC. Hey man im josh (talk) 02:01, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Bringingthewood. To re-use a reference, you would add a name to the ref portion of the reference, as shown in this diff on Aidan Hutchinson, and then replace the second usage of that citation as I did in the dif. So instead of having the full long citation, you're just pointing to that name that was defined elsewhere in the article. I use named references quite often so re-use refs and I think WP:REFNAME is a helpful wikilink for you in this case. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:23, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

And now my eyes bleed, lol. But then again, I'm not the brightest bulb. Thank you for that change ... and they say Helen Keller was in the Miracle Worker! HA!!! Stay well, my friend! John Bringingthewood (talk) 22:33, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

You want to hear something funny? The Big Man does work in mysterious ways, you were #600 for me sending a thank you. That did work out well. Happy early-Thanksgiving! Bringingthewood (talk) 22:39, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Special drafts

Hey, Josh,

I just discovered that we have hundreds of drafts passing through the G13 soon lists that should not be deleted. Take, for example, Draft:William Kramer (athlete). It was draftified as part of this Village Pump decision but it was determined that these drafts on Olympic athletes should sit for at least 5 years before being eligible for G13 status. Unfortunately, they were not omitted from the SDZeroBot reports until a day or two ago so the lists from the next four days include these drafts on them even though they should not be deleted. But they do have a tag on the draft page that will let you know which ones should have a delayed deletion and they will also be categorized in Category:All drafts subject to special procedures.

I only became aware of this yesterday and I'm not sure how much you work you do in the G13 area these days but I just thought I'd give you a head's up. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:40, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Nathan121212: I don't believe this fits into any criteria lists at WP:CFRD. Even if I did delete those revisions it would not change the creation date. Hey man im josh (talk) 23:07, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh: ah okay no probs, thanks. Have a good one Nathan121212 (talk) 08:49, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Josh thanks for looking at my draft submission

I've added the links to verified sources as requested, namely the links of the books authored by Salina Christmas on Barnes & Noble, Waterstones and Amazon. As well as an author profile and ratings on Goodreads. Are those fine for reliable references, to prove that the published works exist? Thanks so verifying. 92.6.158.153 (talk) 15:08, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm not actually very good at evaluating these types of articles so I think your best bet would be to ask at WP:AFCHELPDESK instead. Though, I will recommend that you implemented Wikipedia:Inline citations. I originally rejected the draft because the only sources were to Wikipedia, and that I knew was not enough, so I wanted to quickly give you that feedback instead of having you wait longer than you had to at the time.

DeMar Hamlin "pronounced dead" edit

Hey, obviously you've got more Wiki experience than me so I let me start but saying I trust your judgement. However, I specifically looked for sources saying he was pronounced dead (implying by a doctor) and couldn't find any. The closest was a quote saying "I died out there", but there's a difference between a stopped heart and medically dead. If there are plenty of sources supporting your undo, could you please cite one for the article? Thanks, and appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia. Kodak11111 (talk) 05:38, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

@Kodak11111: My mistake, I thought I had added sources last night. Please never be afraid to ask for a source despite the difference in one's experience, it's a perfectly valid request. I've added two sources to 2022 NFL season. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:23, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Object to the deletion of Eduardo Kau's article

I clearly object to the removal of Eduardo Kau's page. Obviously the version I created now is different from the one created by previous users. If what you are doing refers to the deletion discussion, isn't the reference source I took different from the previous article? And this is clearly very careless in deleting because the discussion is not carried out on a new page. The Pict's (talk) 13:32, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

@The Pict's: The two versions are different, but they're essentially written the same way. In both versions the lead says their name, their date of birth, their nickname, and that they're a Brazilian footballer who is a defender. The only other section in both is the "club career" section, which is the same title in both. Both are only two sentences long with the older one simply mentioning when he debuted while your version only stated that he was signed in November of this year. The sources, in both versions, are inadequate to establish notability. The 2 sources used in your version were a passing mention and routine coverage of a possible free agent signing. If you would like, I can restore and move your version to draft space so that you may work on and expand it further? It's possible there's enough sources out there, but the version you created did not address the issues brought up at the AfD discussion. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

OK if it's like that. Quite an acceptable reason, thanks for the solution. The Pict's (talk) 13:44, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

@The Pict's: No problem. Just to be clear, would you like the version that you created to be restored and moved to draft space? Hey man im josh (talk) 13:46, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes, of course I agree. I will also ask other users for help to improve the quality. The Pict's (talk) 13:49, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

@The Pict's: I've restored the page and moved it to Draft:Eduardo Kau. Best of luck and thank you for the effort that you're putting in. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:25, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Fight Club (2023 Tamil Film)

Hi Hey man im josh, I couldn't understand your revert summary "Better option is to update the target to where the page ended up." Should I just AfD the Fight Club (2023 Tamil Film) mainspace article? It fails WP:NFF, so I wanted to draftify it. Jeraxmoira (talk) 20:28, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

@Jeraxmoira: I updated the target of the redirect page you tagged for deletion. If you would like to nominate the article for deletion then by all means, please do go ahead. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:37, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Ah, I understand now! But the CSD was to make way for Fight Club (2023 Tamil Film) to be draftfied. I couldn't move it earlier because of the redirect. Initially, I blanked the redirect but It didn't work, so I CSD'ed it. Jeraxmoira (talk) 20:44, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

@Jeraxmoira: I see now, that was not initially clear to me, sorry. I recommend draftifying it to Draft:Fight Club (2023 Tamil film) instead then. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:47, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

It appears that it might be the sock puppet of Solomon The Magnifico who was recently blocked. There is also a sock puppet investigation going on against the IP at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Solomon The Magnifico. Could you please protect the page Bengal Presidency against further harm? I've lodged a protection request too. PadFoot2008 (talk) 06:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

It looks like your request was denied @PadFoot2008. In the future, it's best to just request page protections at WP:RFPP/I, as you did, without following up with specific admins. I'm not very active on the weekends so I wasn't able to assist with this. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:03, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

All right! PadFoot2008 (talk) 14:42, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Request - Krishna Kumar (Athletics)

Hi, I see that a page I created, Krishna Kumar (Athletics) has been deleted. I am not sure of the reason as I cannot see it anywhere. Can I please know what should be done or how to work and make it eligible for Wiki. I have been doing India pages as part of the India Project. Kindly help. Is it possible to rectify the defects and create the page again as it affects my number of pages created.

thanks and regards, David Davidindia (talk) 16:12, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

@Davidindia: It looks like you had created a page at Krishan Kumar (Athletics), which was a duplicate article of an article at Krishan Kumar (athlete). As a result, the page you created was redirected to the other page by a user named Wikishovel (this is standard procedure).

Krishan Kumar (athlete) was deleted as it was created by a blocked user who was evading their block, and, as a result, the redirects pointing to that page were also deleted. I can restore the version that you created and move it to Krishan Kumar (athlete), if you wish. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:21, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply. I will be grateful if you can do it. As I am carefully, creating pages only for medal winners and prominent sportspersons.

thanks, david Davidindia (talk) 16:43, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

@Davidindia: The article is now at Krishan Kumar (athletics). Hey man im josh (talk) 16:49, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Davidindia (talk) 16:53, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi - I wasn't aware of the 90 day rule for draftifying, and I'll try to bear that in mind in future. However in this case the page was a deleted PROD, which I restored to draft space and renamed after being contacted by email (See [3]). I'm not sure if the 90 day rule applies in that situation or not, but I'm not going to revert. — Voice of Clam (talk) 13:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Ohhh, sorry about that @Voice of Clam. Moving to draft space after restoring may absolutely appropriate and I could / should have checked the deletion log. The 90 day rule is more or less "has existed in main space consecutively for 90 days", which deleted articles that are restored wouldn't fit into. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:17, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

No problem. I'll leave it to your judgement whether to re-draftify or not. — Voice of Clam (talk) 13:22, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

I've self-reverted @Voice of Clam. Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for reaching out. This is a reminder to me to be a bit more thorough at times. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:24, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

We've both learnt something then . — Voice of Clam (talk) 13:26, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Creating song redirects

Hello. When you create song redirects, can you please check to see if there is a disambiguation page that lists other songs of that name and instead point "title (song)" redirects there? I've just repointed multiple song redirects with fairly common titles you've recently made as there are disambiguation pages that list multiple songs of those names. For example, A.B.C. (song) is far too generic a title to only refer to one song from one album, periods in between the letters or no. It would be a great help for future redirects others might make or readers who may not only be looking for a song by one specific artist. Thanks. Ss112 09:12, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Ss112, I actually do usually try to do this. The order of redirects I try are song name -> song name (song) -> song name (singer name song). If the title without disambiguation is a song, I usually won't make a redirect at the (song) disambiguation or I will point it to a dab page. With that said, I can't believe I was silly enough to make that redirect, that just makes me think of the song "ABC 123". I'll add song name (disambiguation) to my checklist as an extra measure though, just in case. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:18, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Should have also said this, but clearly I'm not doing a good enough job, so I'll slow down a bit as well. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:42, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

DYK for List of New Orleans Saints seasons

On 7 December 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article List of New Orleans Saints seasons, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the New Orleans Saints went their first 20 seasons without a winning season? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/List of New Orleans Saints seasons. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, List of New Orleans Saints seasons), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Yes, I'm ashamed

For a fan, you would think I would have noticed the awards and accomplishments section. It's only been there a week!! Like T. J. Watt .. I belong in concussion protocol. Thanks for all the work you did on his page. It only would have taken me 96 edits to do that. @@. Enjoy your week and thanks again for all that you do. Regards, John Bringingthewood (talk) 07:01, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

@Bringingthewood: Honestly I'm embarrassed I hadn't noticed earlier either. I like to add it for players who have a significant number of awards and/or records and I just happened to get curious about his and noticed it missing! Hey man im josh (talk) 13:07, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

I'll take the blame here. With all the work you did, I could never complain. I stay away from adding references, it's not a good practice, but it'll look like Jack the Ripper was editing the page. If you see me adding something on Wikipedia without a reference ... trust me, it's not out of laziness. Enjoy the rest of your week! Bringingthewood (talk) 02:20, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Josh. Whenever possible, could you let me know if this is normal practice? Deebo Samuels page looked fine after your last edit. This is regarding his 'NFL career statistics'. Somehow it doesn't look right having records and highs (just for a wide receiver). Didn't want to revert if this is a normal thing. Thank you, John Bringingthewood (talk) 06:08, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

I completely agree @Bringingthewood, we don't highlight position highs, we highlight league highs. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:14, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Sorry that this message started taking steroids. Hope there's an easy fix for this User_talk:MArruda1425. I never added photos, just corrected the image info. Aren't you glad that you're the club president? Bringingthewood (talk) 07:25, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Responded there as well! Hey man im josh (talk) 15:43, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

RFA Question

Hi. It's been a while since I asked you about an RFA question you did not answer (User_talk:Hey_man_im_josh/Archive_10#Q22). I did not receive a sufficient answer to my previous question. I would be interested in hearing your answer to this. Willbb234 18:45, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

@Willbb234: This is the third time you've come to my talk page to ask about this. As previously mentioned, all questions, aside from the first 3, are optional. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:49, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

I don't think saying that the questions are optional is a sufficient answer to the question. You answered all of the previous questions, and so it doesn't seem that the questions being optional is the reason behind why this was not answered. Willbb234 19:12, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Willbb234, would you be satisfied if HMIJ were to say "I don't want to answer that question"? To me, that's strongly implied by the way they've left your prior inquiries unanswered. If they've no inclination to answer, and if there's no requirement that they do so, why press on? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:16, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

@Willbb234: What type of answer are you looking for here? I chose not to answer the final two questions at my RFA. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:19, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Leaving questions unanswered, especially if they were asked days before the end of the RFA, strikes me as odd. There is presumably a reason why you did not answer the question. Willbb234 19:26, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

@Willbb234: I'm not the first nor will I be the last. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:35, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

@Willbb234: I reverted your removal of Firefangledfeathers' comment. Please do not remove other editor's policy-compliant comments on user talk pages that are not your own, it's not appropriate to do so.

To follow up and try to wrap this conversation up, I think I've been fairly clear that I don't want to elaborate further than "I chose not to because they're optional". I'm sorry if that makes you unhappy, but that answer in of itself should be sufficient, even if it doesn't satisfy your curiosity. You're welcome back on my talk page anytime, but I'm not going into more detail than that. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:53, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

articles

hi josh, you just reviewed a redirect that i made. i also have some articles that i created that i am still waiting a long time for them to be reviewew. sorry if i am bothering you, but could you take a look at some of them including: Earthscraper, The Foundation for Harmony and Prosperity, and VIADER. That is it for now, but i am working on building lots of new pages and eventually will apply for the autopatrol right so that i do not need to ask anyone and can lessen the burden on the new page patrol people. Iljhgtn (talk) 17:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Iljhgtn, sorry for the late response, I typically don't edit on the weekends and have been catching up on things this morning. I'm sorry, but I don't patrol pages upon request because of the amount of requests I'd receive to do so if I did. Someone from the NPP team will take a look at their earliest convenience.

Fireball World Championship

Page's creator and sole non-copyedit contributor, User:Yachty4000, seems to be under an editing block? block log: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=Yachty4000

13:17, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello @AriTheHorse. WP:CSD G5 applies to creations by users evading a block or ban. While Yachty4000 is currently blocked, they do not appear to have been evading a block when they created Fireball World Championship back in December of 2020. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:19, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying for me.

No problem. Please also consider changing your signature, as it's creating a new paragraph for your name underneath the text and then a new line for the date as well. This breaks most of the reply scripts that a lot of users use, which makes it more difficult for us to reply to you. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
