NagalandExpress News Wikipedia page deletedNagalandExpress Digital News is the only online news service from Nagaland State in India. With a population of around 21 lakhs, people of Nagaland depends on this. Could you please tell me what is the reason for deleting this article? It took almost two hours to make an article. It was very disappointing to see that it was removed. Can you tell me how is this relevancy decided? This news is even published in Google news within 4 months of launch, because there was no other online news service from Nagaland State.

Rashad McCroreywhy was the page Rashad McCrorey speedy deleted? The subject has articles from ABC world News, CNN, Forbes Magazine, Black Enterprise and several other local 3rd party sources. The subject is also verified on Instagram and A verified muck rack journalist. Why deleted and not just moved to draft space? NanaKofiER (talk) 12:03, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your response 1.how can the article be written to not seem promotional? I don't see where any promoting was done on the article but ill respect your opinion and experience. What should be taking out that is promotional? 2.The subject is well know for helping Africans Americans relocate and visit Africa which Forbes Magazine,and CNN notes, and his most recent notable event is choosing to quarantine in west Africa which ABC World News and multiple other 3rd party outlets confirmed. Would that count as 2 notable events? sometimes ots hard for African Americans to get Wikipedia pages because its a lack of editors who truly value what's important on Black America. however the subject is known and have many credible 3rd party sources not only with feature articles but with numerous mentions. Lastly, its my impression when a article is deleted it leaves a ugly stain on the subjects Wikipedia resume. With featurs in CNN, ABC NEWS, Forbes Magazine,etc and a total of 14 third party feature articls from reputable sources, why delete and not move to draft space with suggestions? again its my impression and belief that deleted articles are terrible marks on a subjects name and the article has way more than the standard wiki 3 guideline. oh and lastly can you help me put an article together that can pass Wikipedia guidelines?

HelpHello! I hope you are well. I recently saw that you protected the Rownd a Rownd wikipedia page. Great work. Sadly it has been heavily vandalized again. Lost a lot of work and details. I don’t want to start a reverting war. Therefore asking if it was possible you would put a protection on the page full time. I don’t know how to do that sorry.

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) Administrators' newsletter – February 2022News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2022).
