Hi, I was going through some of my older and more embarrasing contributions, and saw to my dismay I had an article deleted for G12 copyvio. Could you jog my memory of what the contents of that page was? If it's not suitable for public distribution, I have my email function enabled.

Speedy Deletion of Blake Paulson articlehttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blake_Paulson Anthony, I'm an editor with a keen interest in banking history. I'm curious why the Blake Paulson article was deleted. I see that copyright infringements were cited -- but the content came from a U.S. government website (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.) Isn't there a fair use exemption? I cannot see the article (maybe I just don't know how to find it) but I suspect it could be improved and salvaged if there are not ENOUGH third-party sources.

Hi, can you restore a page to my userspace?It's an essay, Creating Wikipedia:Being blocked hurts, you deleted in 2017 (yes, I know)... Actually, I guess maybe you just deleted the redirect... it was an essay that I (wanted to) move into my userspace per a WP:RM, but it says I moved it to User:Being blocked hurts by mistake, which of course it's gone now...I do have a more-or-less copy in my Userspace, but if I'm reading it right the history is lost... but my understanding is history is never lost except for oversights? I really only want the talk page pretty much... wanting to ref the RM thread for something. Hey if it's a hassle to do this, I'm good. It's nice-but-not necessary, just perhaps let me know (here) if you can't or won't, thanks.

Okay I can do just that, but it will take some timeSorry for getting back to you so late. My Article was the highest-ranking demon's right, and I did have these facts on it. Most of what I talked about comes from the Holy Bible. Lucifer like I said was top of the star, and the most powerful prince of hell right, and was one of the angels around God's throne, and was top and spirit before the fall, and also was the lion sin of pride right. https://rightdivision.com/charts/alpha-omega/section-1/lucifer-anointed-cherub https://www.pinterest.com/pin/175781191689785219/ there are too many facts to write on and talk about.

This is confusing me. The creating editor battled long and hard to create this, via AFC, but has now requested deletion. This feels little like Wikipedia:Ownership of content. I wonder if you would take more than usual time to look at the background to this one, please? Sen seems to be notable at last (you may disagree, I did for ages), so it will only reappear in one form or another (0.95 probability). It is a fan created article A further look may reinforce your deletion or may overturn it.I am not seeking to influence that, rather I'd like to understand a little more, please.

U5/G11I saw that you deleted User:Kittubindass's userpage shortly after I challenged User:Susmuffin's tag of it as U5 and G11. Based on timing, I'm guessing you'd already loaded the page before I untagged. This kind of thing isn't usually the sort of hill I care to die on, but, since I had already untagged, in this case I'd like to politely contest the deletion. I don't see why "[user] is a [profession] at [business]" on a userpage is

Hi, I noticed this user with a very bizarre edit history, where they copy a sportsman's article into their sandbox, and substitute what is presumably their name in for the sportsman's name. They've been doing this once a day for two years (!), with no mainspace edits save for two where they accidentally subbed the name into the real articles. Whatever their reasons for doing this, they are seemingly not here to build an encyclopedia, and admin action might be required. Their user talk page was also created by a sockpuppet, so that may play into things somehow as well. Regards, —Somnifuguist (talk) 21:59, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
Deleting a page with a contested deletion without any discussion at all?!You just deleted a perfectly valid article - Christian Emmanuel Sanon - that had a drive by CFD on it, which I wrote an objection to on the Talk page, and you just drive-by deleted it without even allowing discussion to occur! What is the point of having a link to contest the stupid CFD if you're just going to delete them without respecting the voices of people who _actually write articles_? I think every day Wikipedia dies a little bit more because of this kind of terrible moderation. Awful administration in my opinion. Miserlou (talk) 22:01, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Twinkle puts the same generic CSD reason as the deletion rationale for all of the pages. This is a problem when deletions are the result of a deletion discussion because Twinkle doesn't include a link to the specific AFD or TFD discussion where it was decided to delete the page. In these cases, I think you need to take the time to delete the pages individually. Just offering an opinion as an admin who has made this mistake before! Thanks! Liz Read!

Re: speedy deletion of "implausible" redirect, "James Harrison (blood donor"What constitutes an "implausible" typo? Because that redirect was created because of a typo that factually occurred. It was, specifically, the result of a very common type of typo that occurs when linking wikipedia pages with parentheticals, due to how Markdown (the formatting language used on prominant sites such as reddit and github) formats links. I create such a redirect whenever I see such a broken link in the wild, and generally get thanks for such an action (one is currently on my talk page). Frankly, I think Wikipedia should automatically redirect any nonexistent page titles with unclosed parenthenses, but until then, the reasonable solution is to add them manually, is it not? --LordDragonfang (talk) 00:47, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered usersHi! You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help. If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter. We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January. Thank you. /Johan (WMF) 18:13, 4 January 2022 (UTC) Question about soft redirects and WP:R2Thanks for responding to the CSD on French proverbs.

Evie MagazineI'm the person who created the page. I often come to Wikipedia for information about publications I don't know. There was no page for Evie so I created a simple one. I have no relationship to the magazine. I've done some reasearch. How about the following: Evie magazine is an online and printed magazine aimed at young women in the United States. It says its mission is to "empower, educate, and entertain you with the highest quality content that affirms your femininity, encourages virtue, and offers a more truthful perspective than the biased agenda of other publications".[1] According to the AllSides democratic media monitoring service, it has a 'Lean Right' bias. As of May 2021, its review found Evie "largely publishes opinion-style pieces that are focused on encouraging traditional values and historic virtues in culture, relationships and lifestyle". AllSides says the magazine typically stands against progressive feminism and is critical of hook-up culture, socialism/communism, the birth control pill and the pharmaceuticals of Western medicine.[2] Willbown (talk) 13:25, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Jorrit FaassenHello, you recently deleted the article Jorrit Faassen saying it "does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject". The article mentioned in the lead that he is Vladimir Putin's son-in-law, married to Putin's eldest daughter Maria. That clearly indicated his significance. Some might not think that is enough to merit his own Wikipedia article, however that would have been a debate for a deletion discussion, but since it was speedily deleted there was none. Also, per WP:CSD, the information could have been merged into another article – Maria's, where much of the information was before I created Fassen's article. I have been able to restore some information there based on the revision history of Maria's article, but some valuable information is missing (e.g. his D.O.B.) as it was added to his article later and with the page gone I have no way of retrieving that information and source. WP:CSD also says the user nominating a page for deletion should notify the page creator and any major contributors – I am the page creator and I was not notified and thus had no way to contest the deletion as I only learned about it from my watchlist after the fact.

It’s staggering that this had lasted since 2010. 00sClassicGamerFan (talk) 18:53, 21 June 2022 (UTC) Talk:CoandumirimPlease restore Talk:Coandumirim. I wanted to reply to the IP. I created the stub Coendou speratus after I saw the IP's post, and redirected Coandumirim to the stub prior to your deletion. I was posting a reply to the IP when you deleted.

Deleted Draft: Princess Omowunmi AgunbiadeGood wishes, writing to you because I was to create the draft page of a deleted Draft (Princess Omowunmi Agunbiade).

Would you be so good as to userfy Draft:Mallu Traveler for me?I was asked on my talk page to review this draft before it was deleted, and it intrigued me, but you deleted it before I could get to it. Would you be so good as to restore it to my user space, so I could work on making it fit for prime time? I've done this sort of thing a number of times before, and so far all of the articles I resurrected after deletion (Tina Machado; Miss and Mister Supranational; Summer Rayne Oakes; Chaz Stevens) have been kept. --GRuban (talk) 15:07, 6 September 2022 (UTC) References

Grayscale draft helpHello, I saw that you made a "speedy deletion" of the Grayscale Investments draft I wrote. I was hoping you'd be able to give me some more detailed feedback on what made the draft unacceptable from a Wikipedia standpoint. Your feedback will help me fix the draft so it will meet requirements to be accepted. I really want to make sure I do this the right way. I made a new draft in my sandbox in the hopes that you or another editor might be able to point me in the right direction on rewriting the draft. I'd really appreciate the help!

Deletion of User:Somers-all-the-time/MyMilitiaHi Tony, could I get some clarification on why the page User:Somers-all-the-time/MyMilitia was deleted, especially w/r/t WP:U5?

Inadvertent deletion?I think you might have accidentally deleted User talk:GoatLordServant when deleting the corresponding userpage. Someone who's wrong on the internet (talk) 23:55, 22 March 2023 (UTC) I don't understand the rush to level 4. I don't see any blatant vandalism. At worst, this looks like a violation of WP:MOS. Someone who's wrong on the internet (talk) 00:05, 23 March 2023 (UTC) Deletion of user talk pagesHello, Anthony. Perhaps you missed my ping yesterday, but I noticed that you've continued deleting user talk pages against policy (144737012, 144737041 etc). Given another user's request above, I'm concerned that you're not responding to these queries. While I will continue restoring the user talk pages that you've deleted, the feature to G8 a talk page while deleting its sibling page has been in effect for nearly a year (phab:T27471). It would be much appreciated if you stop ticking that box when deleting base user pages – while I don't mind cleaning up, on a fundamental level non-administrators cannot review the contents of those talk pages and the community needs to be able to access them for accountability reasons. I understand that you've been an administrator for far longer than I have (you nominated one of my nominators!) but a response would nevertheless be great. PS: On another note, I'm also concerned that non-autoconfirmed users can't communicate with you – user talk pages should be very rarely protected. Sdrqaz (talk) 17:52, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
What is the process to undelete my User page?Apparently it was speedily ddeleted before I even knew it was going to be done. Thank you DaveJWhitten DaveJWhitten (talk) 00:50, 31 March 2023 (UTC) Trying to learn exactly what's acceptable on user pagesYesterday I created a user page for the first time and it was deleted in no time flat. I've created another, basing myself on your user page. I'm confused as to exactly what was wrong with my first attempt, partly because it was tagged for deletion by someone, whose user page has a link to their own personal web site.

Fixing the layout of your userpageWhere the body of text starts on your user page, it overlaps a block of userboxes. I see you've used a stack of newlines, which is a solution not easy to manage ongoing. I had this problem myself and found that a {{clear}} userbox at the start of the text will force the newline you need. Cheers, Geoff.

Revdel?Hi there... you recently deleted the userpage and sandbox of Sh.yousry for G12. There is another user, Habibakhaledd, who posted the same material on their user talk page. I reverted it, but should be revdel'd because it's copyrighted? If so, can you do that? I can't... I'm not an admin. I am certain these two users are colleagues, and hopefully I've adequately explained to both of them that they can't repost their company press releases here. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:12, 19 May 2023 (UTC) Undelete Alejandro MirabalPlease undelete my article, you have deleted it under G11 and there was no promotion on the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Third Single
A tag has been placed on Third Single, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Even if that content is removed again, removal of relevant content is not recognized as a reason to speedy-delete a redirect. There are other plausible places the redirect might be targeted to in the absence of content at Online shaming, such as IAC Inc. The status quo also creates a mismatch with Justine Sacco incident.
