TheActorAndreiJust an FYI, TheActorAndrei is the same disruptive edits as Andreibobo701 and 2603:8080:E740:327:68FC:726E:ED89:D967. I had just posted this on AIV. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 13:09, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Human Sexuality cover first edition.jpgThanks for uploading File:Human Sexuality cover first edition.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:30, 18 December 2020 (UTC) Could you please undelete Dragon Promotions to User:SMcCandlish/Incubator/Dragon Promotions? I recall that the founder's bio was moved to that title, and something presumably was done with it after that, even if it ended up being CoI-infested. I can probably dig something out of it to work on. I think the company is notable and it'll just be a matter of source research (they're probably the leading cue sports event organizer in the world, for both snooker and pool pro tournaments). It would also be helpful to be able to examine the editing history; if someone had being doing CoI stuff at that page they might also have been doing it at articles on DP-organized events. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 02:45, 14 December 2020 (UTC) Done My first reaction was: "just do it yourself", but to my surprise I see you're not an admin. I've seen you around and was convinced you're a sysop. Perhaps time for a run? Cheers! --Randykitty (talk) 09:39, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
IANIHey, We could really use your help. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2facediani (talk • contribs) Canadian Medical Education JournalI am looking for feedback/advice regarding the recently rejected submission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Canadian_Medical_Education_Journal I've read and reread the criteria for notability, and I would love some examples of how this submission could meet that criteria. If not now, then down the line. I don't want the article deleted, so I would like to figure out the right source before I waste anyone's time. I was looking at various other academic journals, and CMEJ seems to fit the same criteria. Any insights would be great! Hickeygamez (talk) 17:04, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
@Hickeygamez: The criteria for notability in the Wikipedia sense of the word is related to real-world impact/attention, not reliability/legitimacy (which it may well be, I'm no medical professional here, so I'll let other be the judge of that). The two will often be related since nonsense journals are rarely impactful or have any attention given to them, but we do require independent sources to have taken note of the journal in some way, or have some way to attest to the impact. Most often, this will be through indexing in selective databases like SCOPUS or have an impact factor. But it could also be that the journal has been the focus of (independent) press coverage or was recognized for specific achievements by independent organizations (like winning a prize for innovation in a specific area of publishing).

Recent close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ozan Boz (2nd nomination)Hello Randykitty, Admin Drmies had reverted the redirection (on Jan 10) and was not going to touch it for a week (until Jan 17). I am wondering why you rushed into a decision? Votes look even, and I wanted to keep working on the article until Jan 17th. Thanks. Neckhumbucker (talk) 17:36, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Journal infoboxHi Randykitty. I see you have made a number of edits to the Nature (journal) infobox, so I trust that you know much more than me about the subject. I was doing a few minor edits at The Lancet when I noticed that there is no mention of location (head office or otherwise). By comparison, at Nature (journal) it says "(subsidiary of Springer Nature) (United Kingdom)". Could you let me know what the practice is in terms of identifying where a journal is edited? Thanks for whatever assistance you can provide. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 12:33, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi, Randykitty, I was aware that you did not add the infobox, but you edited it, so I thought it would be fair to assume that you would be able to assist, which you indeed did. Yes, your reply does clarify things. Thanks, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 16:36, 21 January 2021 (UTC) Draft:Rebecca Nengi HampsonHello,I noticed that you are a Wikipedia editors. I would like for you to review my draft article 'Draft: Rebecca Nengi Hampson', and tell me of changes to be made if any and also kindly help me accept it and allow for it to officially be posted on Wikipedia if it need not be edited.

Biography & Philosophy AcknowledgementHello Randykitty or Miranda and Additional Names: I liked reading your biography and philosophy regarding Wikipedia and language and communication. Thank you. The journey that led to discovering you is from the Tongva wikipedia site. I had considered reading and possibly editing, but discovering what I was reading at the Tongva site, instead I became interested in the history of the Tongva site, so I checked in at "View History" and then I went to earliest creation, way back, circa 2004?, linked to you, so I opened up your Talk page, discovering the nice and intelligent explanation of your philosophy on communication, proper encyclopedia narrative, such as not using "famous" with a good example of Albert Einsteine. And so thank you again, for enlightening me, something of a renaissance, and epiphany for me, as I had already not liking the use of the word "famous" but reading your writing solidified my philosophy. On and on ... jus sayin ... more later, possibly .... Peace, 'Roy' Robert Jan van de Hoek Los Angeles County, California PS - oh my, I had a hiatus of a few months from editing until this one and an earlier one this morning, so I nearly forgot the request for us to us "~" four times, and so not quite sure, if needed here, but going to err with caution that it is needed.Robert Jan van de Hoek (talk) 17:35, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Please take a look at thisCould you please take a look at the recent history of the Linda Gottfredson article? The recent edits to that article seem to go against the consensus we reached in this discussion. I don't want to get involved in that article again, but if the same person who tried to add this material before is going to make another attempt at it, the other people who were involved in the past discussion about this material ought to be notified. For now I'm just notifying you, but it might be a good idea to also notify the other two editors who were involved in the earlier discussion who are still active (DGG and Atsme). Perhaps you already knew this, but that particular article seems to be a magnet for BLP violations. This article described a case of hoax material in the same article that stayed there for about two years, and eventually was repeated in a book. 2600:1004:B150:36C4:64D5:D32A:E475:F895 (talk) 01:37, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi Randykitty. At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Equal Education, I wrote, "The initial 13:12, 12 August 2010 (UTC) version of the article is not promotional and can be reverted to if the current version of the article is deemed to be too promotional." I plan to revert to the 2010 version of the article, add some of the sources mentioned by Walter Görlitz, and restore the article to mainspace. Would that be supported by your AfD close?

Unprotect a deleted pageHello,I had created a page named Manan Shah (Buisness).It didn't know that the page Manan Shah and Manan Shah (Buisness) is same.An admin informed me that both are the same person.So the admin deleted the page Manan Shah (buisness).

If you have read the article it is not a newspaper, but a magazine as indicated by all the sources. So I will revert your move. --Egeymi (talk) 11:40, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello Randykitty, there was discussion on the AfD for Manuel López (artist) regarding Draftifying/Userfying the article. It was created by a student editor and nominated for deletion 35 minutes later, then closed as delete following the usual discussion and !voting. Would you be willing to draftify it instead of full deletion? I have no connection whatsoever with the artist, the student, the student's teacher nor the institution where the Wiki-Edu project was initiated. However, seeing value in the student's efforts and the fact their semester is not over, I offered to incubate the article (in it's improved state when it was deleted) as a draft in my sandbox, or to have the (improved) article sent to the student creator's sandbox for development. Having never made a request like this, I'm not sure this is the correct way to request this change, or if there is a more formal process to request drafitication. Thank you.

IMO based both on strength of arguments given and also by simple count the discussion was about 1/3 "delete" 1/3 "merge" and 1/3 "keep. Arguable, but certainly no consensus to delete. You closed as "delete" and deleted all of the material and references. Also, my understanding is that the closing is to be based on the discussion, but instead the basis you gave was your own interpretation of what should happen with respect to the guidelines. IMO it should clearly have been closed as "no consensus" Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:20, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
openaccess = noHi, you reverted a change of mine adding "openaccess = no", saying that one should not indicate the value "no" for this parameter. I was wondering if you could point me to the policy justifying this? Indeed, I don't understand why it would only make sense to indicate "openaccess = yes" (and thus have ambiguity between non-OA journals and journals whose OA status has not been indicated on Wikipedia).

You’re the closing administrator for Qazi Shibli AfD, and before i put it up for deletion review i wanted to consult you. I’d be really happy if you can share the Sources on which this article deserves to be in the mainspace? Moreover, All the sources I’ve been through just cover shibli’s Arrest. Isn’t this a BLP1E? Check Arrest of Kamran Yusuf, If Shibli gets an standalone article I’d definitely love to work on Kamran Yusuf’s article because it does have good references unlike shibli’s article. Please don’t think this is personal or something like that, I’ve just stated facts above in accordance to wikipedia’s policies. If i am wrong, do correct me.-- Jammumylove Talk to me or CHECK MY RECENT WORK 00:07, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

At the top of your talk page you tell everybody that is here regarding an article that you did to first go to a place that (as only a more experienced wiki person would know) is irrelevant except for speedy deletions. Based on that it's quite a stretch to complain that a new editor didn't discuss it here with you. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 01:53, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
Romani people in HungaryHi, I'm just contacting you as an uninvolved admin re an RfC at Romani people in Hungary. It has been open for over a month, and has had no new comments since 1st April. It originated from a DRN case between myself and another user who has since been banned. The survey has only obtained 6 votes (IIRC) and the only vote for the banned user's version was his own. Is it ok to close it now, and if so, do I have to go through a particular procedure? All the best, BNS Boynamedsue (talk) 06:31, 16 April 2021 (UTC) Happy Adminship Anniversary!

Having trouble with SNG vs GNG interpretation re: NSPORTHi, I've been under the impression that NSPORT is subordinate to GNG, but this conversation is making me wonder if I'm missing something?? I'd especially appreciate any guidance on particular RfCs upholding my interpretation. Thanks! JoelleJay (talk) 04:56, 19 April 2021 (UTC) John Allen (Irish cricketer) - argument strength is really about policy backing John Allen (Irish cricketer)So without knowing exactly what argument(s) you found compelling it's perhaps hard to give you an exact answer. The actual AfD is of course sparse on actual arguments, and even the DRV is fairly "assert-y" rather than "argument-y", if that makes sense (e.g., it's people asserting the article did this or that, rather than demonstrating it). The one thing I did have to chew on a lot is that there were some assertions about what policy says about self-published sources, but if you read WP:RSSELF and WP:GNG they don't support that argument, so it's not possible to "up-weight" that argument - upweighting arguments generally requires some strong policy backing that reflects a wider consensus. Otherwise, the quantity and depth of sources needed to meet WP:N has a lot of grey area where !vote, but headcount still weighs a lot because the line is (deliberately) vague as to number and depth of sources.

Article Deletion of Deepak RawatDear Randykitty, Article- Deepak Rawat. This-- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Deepak_Rawat Let just take some examples, one by one--- Link 1-- 👇 Question No.1-- Is there just trivial mention in this👆 news about Deepak Rawat or the entire news article is about Deepak Rawat IAS? After (answer) this I'll give more. Thanks. Regards. Aj Ajay Mehta 007 (talk) 05:33, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
Dear @Randykitty:, There is well sigcov about the person Deepak Rawat. There is lot of notability about the person. One of them(one of editor) who voted for delete(in Afd discussion) also who insisting so much for delete has been caught in sock puppetry. How can you(one) believe in such editors. You should review again article. Well, I have many news references where there are not just trivial mention about the article but the entire article is all about Deepak Rawat. But other editors don't want to respond. My references were also in accordance to wiki policy, may be 1 or 2 of them are not so good, but that doesn't mean article should be deleted, we should remove those references(hardly 1 or 2 references), we shouldn't delete the whole article for that. What can I do. What should I do now! Plz guide me. Aj Ajay Mehta 007 (talk) 15:30, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
Dear @Randykitty:,
Point is-+-This article Deepak Rawat consists of good references and good notability. Not just trivial mentions. The whole news is all about Deepak Rawat. As sock puppetry editors are giving votes.

Copy and pasteHi, thanks for tagging the images Lute Currie uploaded to Commons which are potentially copyrighted. I also noted that this article Eduard Ritter von Josch is a word by word copy and paste job from [2]. But is that a potential copyvio problem? The author was Lute Currie. I don't understand the policies on this. It seems he uploaded that article online a while back but only a few days ago ported it onto Wikipedia. As he is the author of the article I don't see how it can be copyrighted but it has been copy and pasted. I don't know what the policy is on this and thought I would ask.

Hello! Brunch for you!
Please reconsider deletion of page on me - Carl HaberHello, I recently discovered that the page on me - Carl Haber (American filmmaker and professor of film) - was recently deleted and that you were involved in this decision in some way. I would ask you - respectfully - to return the page to Wikipedia if possible. I am indeed the filmmaker/educator in question. The film credits listed (which are in fact only partial) are all valid and can be seen on the IMDB as well. My history as described is a rather superficial summary, but it is correct. I was not aware of the need for additional citations (I did not start the page - and the individual who did I believe is no longer available to act on this). Additional citations can certainly be furnished - by me if needed - including but not limited to videos and testimonials of our students, the film school website which I founded and direct, and films made by students which I have supervised over the years can be seen on the RIFS Vimeo page and the RIFS website. Additionally the BFI (British Film Institute) has information about me on their site and a film I made years ago is still shown on their site (since it won a BAFTA Award long ago). They reference me on that page and the fact that I run the film school in Rome. I have written and directed new material as recently as 2018 that was produced and screened in festivals, and have several things in development currently in both Europe and the US. It would have been nice to have known that this deletion was being discussed before the decision was made, but I understand that the process does not allow for that; so I ask you please, what can be done to reinstate the page? What if anything can I provide to shore up the solidity in the moderators' view, that confirms the accuracy of the information on that page? It is all accurate and true. Thank you for your help, I appreciate your attention to this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.32.220.203 (talk • contribs)
