Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Shemford Futuristic School, Muzaffarpur q requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of Shemford Futuristic School, Muzaffarpur

Notice

The article Shemford Futuristic School, Muzaffarpur has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Velella  Velella Talk   10:09, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Muzaffarpur Junction railway station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Colonial. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ  Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Rollback granted

Hi VortexPhantom. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 14:31, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from IsadoraPenn (11:35, 6 April 2026)

Hello! I have spent days just perusing Wiki and have learnt so much from this platform. I am so glad to finally be able to help out by editing. Where do I begin really?, what do I have to read/learn before I begin? I have already made some test runs through some minor edits. My goal was to make an edit on article because what was being foretold has already happened and so it needs restructuring. It's all a little daunting. --IsadoraPenn (talk) 11:35, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Glad you asked! I advise you to edit some articles by using wikitext (wikipedia's own language), you can find how to use wikitext here. Choose any topic that you're interested in. You can start gradually by fixing grammar mistakes, etc. By time, if you achieve consistency, you will learn most of the things here. If you need any other advice, feel free to ask! ✓ortexPhantom (talk) 11:50, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Question from TheEditorForFreeEncyclopedia on Pottsville Maroons (22:00, 10 April 2026)

Hello Vortex. I have a question on how to create a citation. As you can tell I am just starting and I don't fully understand the format for editors. --TheEditorForFreeEncyclopedia (talk) 22:00, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Mainly there are two editing methods that allows to cite:
  • Source
  • Visual
in source editor, you can add citation by using ref tags and a template that is used according to what source you are using. See WP:REFB for details.

visual editor is most easiest way in which you click " this double quotes mark, and paste the URL to cite, all the rest is automated and citation is created.
If you can't even create cite, fee free to contact.

Appeal to reconsider deleting the page Dachung Gyang

While I understand that additional citations are required to keep to Wikipedia's rules, I also wish to appeal to the team that Dachung Gyang is a well recognised local chief of the early to mid-20th century of the Berom peoples (predominant tribe) of the Jos Plateau; their first ruler in the contemporary world. To take down the page might be misconstrued by many followers of the bearer as unfair and somewhat condescending. I, as creator of the page therefore advise that the team exercise prudence in their decision and patience for members to collect more sources and content for onward addition to the article at least to upgrade it from stub status.

Regards,

Abraham Abrahamvwi7 (talk) 13:42, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

This will be discussed, that is why I have nominated it for deletion. The rule is simple, if subject isn't notable, article can't be made, even as a stub. I think you misunderstood the meaning of stub, stub indicates that subject is notable, but article has to be cover all aspects of subject, not brief mention and subject is notable when if either fulfills WP:GNG or WP:NBIO (in you case of biography). ✓ortexPhantom (talk) 14:44, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Question from DJLeamen (10:49, 12 April 2026)

Hi there, mentor! I'm a long-time Wikipedia reader but have only just decided to create an editor account and help contribute where there's gaps. The issue is, as a newcomer, there's a lot of information here to absorb and I'm a bit intimidated. I'm sure it becomes easier as I continue, but in the meantime, do you have any general advice for where to start besides the obvious auto-link suggestions & spelling/grammar fixes? Or even where to start to understand the core rules and complexities of this platform? Thank you for all the work you do! --DJLeamen (talk) 10:49, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

hi there! Firstly I want to thank you for joining wikipedia with aim to contribute. Many people reads wikipedia, out of readers, 1% join wikipedia, and out of joiners 1% contribute constantly. You are very rare, 1% of the readers. Wikipedia may look complex, but is very simple. Since you are new, I advise you to choose one field, where you want to contribute, there fields are writing and editing article on Wikipedia (most common), reviewing new edits that are mades across platform and choose that it doesn't disrupts purpose of Wikipedia (harassments, edits that are not sourced, test edits, deleting large section without any appropriate reason.
creating article that doesn't exist on wiki and you think it should be. Note: there are many, but these are most beginner friendly. Once you gain experience, you can move on to areas where advanced thinkings and knowledge of policies required. Out of fields I suggested, choose one of you like and msg here, I will tell steps that you should follow (for that particular area) ✓ortexPhantom (talk) 13:46, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Kadri Bistrica

Hi there, and thank you for you help with NPP! I wanted to let you know that I have declined your G4 speedy deletion nomination of Kadri Bistrica because the current version is not sufficiently similar to the version deleted via discussion in 2016. One clear indicator is that the article includes two sources published after the deletion discussion, with one published in 2022 and another published in 2023. If you think Bistrica still does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, feel free to renominate for deletion via AfD. Thank you! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 14:05, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Temporary account IP viewer granted

The temporary account IP viewer logo, composed of the Wikipedia globe with a user and an IP address

Hello, VortexPhantom. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

  • You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
  • Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

  • When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
  • Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
  • Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 05:33, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

PROD on Banjarkemantren Railway Station

Hi @VortexPhantom, I saw you proposed Banjarkemantren railway station for deletion citing WP:GEO. Since this is a translation from the Indonesian Wikipedia, could you let me know what specific improvements would help this and future station articles meet English Wikipedia standards so that I can remove the one you've put and so that they can avoid PRODs in the future? Thanks! HPG01 (talk) 15:41, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for citing WP:GEO, it's WP:NGEO, I have corrected it also on the PROD tag. See WP:NTRAINSTATION, which clearly states that train station doesn't automatically be notable since they are train stations, it should be covered under multiple reliable source, which I don't see in this case. ✓ortexPhantom (talk) 10:17, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Deletion of LegaSea Article

Good morning @VortexPhantom, you have cited "Doesn't meet WP:NCORP, probably written to advertise company and relies heavily on primary sources." for the LegaSea article. How should I fix the tone or structure to meet the standards on the article? It is my first article and I am not affiliated nor paid to write the article, it is simply creating a new article for an organisation in New Zealand that isn't featured on Wikipedia. If you can give me any suggestions it would be appreciated. ThomasNiuNiu (talk) 01:47, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

I assume that you are not connected to it, but even it doesn't follows neutral tone, it covers deeply about objective and activities of company, just like when written to promote it's ideology, products etc. Also, the article lack published books and article, or other materials from secondary reliable sources that have covered ORG with significant coverage, not just trivial mentions. You have added reference of company's own website which is classified as primary sources, which is not enough to establish notability. If you want to stop deletion, you may add reference of secondary reliable sources and improve tone, it may be saved. If only you establish notability, it will be saved, and even if other aspects are not good (such as tone), you will be given time to do that, so it is not a big concern. ✓ortexPhantom (talk) 10:05, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

If you want, I can move your sandbox to draft space, move correct location for drafts and it's reviewing or you may do it yourself. ✓ortexPhantom (talk) 15:05, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello someone keeps reverting all of my edits even though I have added plenty of sources and have edited in good faith. Some of these edits have taken me a decently long time to make. What should I do? --TheJamesCycleContinues (talk) 18:12, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Question from 4hgoat (12:37, 27 April 2026)

Hi Vortex. Very excited to join you here, and start editing on Wikipedia. How exactly do I get my article I created approved? --4hgoat (talk) 12:37, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

If you are very new, I suggest you to complete some coyeditng task and improving a article, as it will make you more aware about editing using wikitext, citing reliable sources, as this will give you skills you will be needed on Wikipedia and getting your article approved. ✓ortexPhantom (talk) 12:48, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

May 2026 Administrator Election – Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Candidates.

Here is the schedule:

  • April 29 – May 5: Call for candidates
  • May 8–12: Discussion phase
  • May 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

  • The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
  • Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for admin elections candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
  • The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
  • The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
  • Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

G5 declined

Hello! I wanted to let you know I just declined a WP:G5 you placed on an article. It's easy to make mistakes with that criterion. It requires the user to have been blocked or banned at the time of article creation. The sockmaster was only blocked a few days ago, while the article was created in January. Hope that helps! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 09:10, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I will take care of it from next time. PhantomVortex (Contact here) 09:12, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Question from 987.btw (07:54, 3 May 2026)

Hi Vortex! I've edited a page before, to make a song title accurate, but it got taken down, any reason as to why it might have? --987.btw (talk) 07:54, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Can you clarify which page you edited before? PhantomVortex (Contact here) 09:30, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
I edited the "Lets start here" album name by Lil Yachty, just to see and test if Wikepedia is actually editable, i noticed the name of the songs on the website were not accurate with the actual name of the song on some of the streaming sites, so naturally I changed it (with an anonymous account at the time). So I went back the next day to check and the edits were gone. 987.btw (talk) 11:18, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
To be clear, it was the name of one of the songs, not the album name. 987.btw (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • Changes to user permissions made from Meta are now included in the local user permissions log (T6055).
  • The autoconfirmed user group will soon be modified such that the four-day account age requirement begins when an account makes its first edit (T418484).

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case SchroCat has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 15 April.
  • Per a recent motion, appeals of blocks from the conflict-of-interest VRT queue are, by default, appealed on-wiki through the normal unblock process. However, they may be heard by the Committee if COIVRTers disagree on the interpretation of the evidence or believe ArbCom would be better suited to hear the appeal. Administrators are also advised that loosening or lifting such blocks without the consent of someone with access to the queue or ArbCom can be grounds for desysopping.
  • Per a recent motion, restrictions issued directly by the Committee may now be enforced with blocks which work exactly like contentious topic blocks.
  • The arbitration case Maghreb has been closed.

If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources.

May 2026 Administrator Elections – Discussion Phase

The discussion phase of the May 2026 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • May 8–12: Discussion phase (we are here)
  • May 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase
  • Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Discussion phase.

On 13 May, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for.

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Small issue with your user page

Hi there. I was looking at some user pages and found yours and I noticed one of the images there is massive. I wasn't sure if you intended for this to happen but I thought it would be nice to give you a heads up!

(by the way the image would be "File:Skyline Frankfurt am Main.jpg") Glamerous23456 (talk) 16:53, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

That may be a problem in desktop web view, since I am a mobile editor, I haven't given it attention. I will try to fix it. PhantomVorteX (Talk) 04:06, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
I am in fact on mobile right now and it does look normal. So for your info this is a desktop issue. Not too sure how this can be fixed but I thought this is good info to know. Glamerous23456 (talk) 04:09, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
