Wiki-code/template for a second WP:AFD discussion

Hi all,

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Young soulja the realest was closed as delete on 8 Feb 2017.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Young Soulja the Realest - different capitalization, same article subject - is still underway.

What code/tempalete should be added to those two discussions to identify that they are about the same subject?

@Shirt58: I don't know of an "official" template, but I've added a "see also" to the current AFD. -- John of Reading (talk) 10:16, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

I cobbled together a "previous-AfD-style" box that should do the trick. TimothyJosephWood 12:42, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

• @Shirt58: FYI, I also nominated the article for speedy deletion under the "recreation" clause. A full AfD is not needed if very similar content is used. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 13:13, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

I just kindof assumed that OP checked to see if they were sufficiently similar. TimothyJosephWood 13:27, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you to everyone who posted here and edited the relevant afd page. Most appreciated. Pete "Q: 50K edit admin asks for help? A: Ancora imparo." AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:05, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Auto-archiving help needed

The archiving of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject South Africa is not working, there are topics dating back to May 2015 that are still on the "live" page. Would someone who groks archiving bot settings please have a go at fixing it. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:27, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

If someone could make a bot that automatically configured archive bots I would give them all the barnstars. What I mean is you post something like {{archive bot requested}} on the article's talk page, and the nice robot comes along and adds everything with more-or-less the standard settings. TimothyJosephWood 12:36, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

I have moved the first section out of the archiving template.[1] The bot runs once a day. Come back in a few days if it hasn't archived. PrimeHunter (talk) 12:41, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks PrimeHunter, I can't believe that I simply couldn't see the problem, it's so obvious. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:39, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

My page Wanda Phipps has been deleted

My page Wanda Phipps has been deleted--could you please put it back up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.219.255.152 (talk) 14:37, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, are you referring to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wanda Phipps? If so, you could contact the deleting Admin. Sandstein to see if they would be prepared to restore it to draftspace so it could continue to worked on. On another issue, pages in Wikipedia do not 'belong' to any one person, they are Wikipedia's page about whatever the subject is. Also if you are, or have a connection to, the subject, you should not be editing the page. Please see WP:COI and/or WP:AUTOBIOG for more information. Thank you.

Deepak Deulkar - the correct spelling is Deepak Dewoolkar

Deepak Deulkar - the correct spelling is Deepak Dewoolkar. Please correct the same as soon as possible.15:12, 24 March 2017 (UTC)59.152.52.42 (talk)

"Dewoolkar" may be correct, but Wikipedia policy is to use the spelling more frequent in published English-language sources. This appears to be "Deulkar". Maproom (talk) 16:37, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Arrow III New Jersey Transit Railcar

You have the incorrect information in regards to the Arrow III NJT Railcar. Schunk did not produce the pantograph in 2011 that is currently in operation on these cars. W did and we are TransTech of SC, Inc. this sentence is incorrect: In 2011 a single arm Schunk type pantograph was fitted to Arrow III #1463 replacing the original twin-arm Stemmann. By early 2014, all 160 units remaining in revenue service had been fitted with the new pantographs.

Corrected on 3-24-17 by Panto 76.

@Panto76: I see that you have edited the article yourself, but you haven't provided any reliable sources to support this claim, having a conflict of interest yourself. The Average Wikipedian (talk) 16:13, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
