Your recent revert on EFFPR
You have reverted what appears to be this false positive report; typically, you should probably leave it alone to let a user respond to it, unless if that vandal you reverted adds vandalism to that report, or blanks/vandalizes EFFPR. Thanks. — 64andtim (chat • see here) 00:09, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @64andtim: The section header of the report literally had "nigro" in it. Obvious vandals creating frivolous reports need to be reverted per WP:DENY and I will continue to do so. Uhai (talk) 00:14, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Per "reverted adds vandalism to that report", I guess that counts as a good idea to revert. I left you a note above that if that blocked user's report do not contain any vandalism at all, probably leaving it as is will work. — 64andtim (chat • see here) 00:17, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Tagging pages for AFD deletion discussions
Hello, Uhai,
I noticed that for AFDs for Anarchic Adjustment and Nick Philip, you didn't post notifications on the User talk page of the article creators. I hope that this was only because those editors have been inactive for a long time and that this isn't a regular habit. I note that you do post notifications for CSD speedy deletion taggings, which is great, but it couldn't hurt to just post these deletion tagging notices for AFDs even if the editor is long gone. Thank you for all of your contributions to the project. Liz Read! Talk! 00:14, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Liz, you are correct that I chose not to do so in this case because of the editors' inactivity, however I have notified for nominations in the past and will now make sure I do so regardless of inactivity. Thanks. Uhai (talk) 03:50, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
