This is a Wikipedia user talk page. This is not an encyclopedia article or the talk page for an encyclopedia article.

NOTE: I plan to manually archive this talk page every year. To keep things organized, all discussions from the year $2020+n$ should go in Archive n. Also, don't warn me about the blockchain and cryptocurrency general sanctions - I was already notified back in 2021. (This message shouldn't get archived, however.)

G12 decline- that's not how it works

I noticed you recently removed my G12 nomination from the Casa Consistorial de Tarazona article because " the source and the current article are not even in the same language". Please don't do this again. You might also want to read WP:NONENGPLAG before removing G12 tags in future. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 06:42, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Re this redirect, it's all socks unfortunately. I'm not going to revert you, but I don't think maintaining a poor quality G5 in the history is helpful to readers. Star Mississippi 13:46, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit conflict?

I presume this restoration of text wasn't intentional and due to an edit conflict?[1] Fram (talk) 17:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Self trout

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Bonus hole

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, the introduction of inappropriate pages, such as Draft:Bonus hole, is considered vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

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. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 13:27, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

@MicrobiologyMarcus: This was supposed to be a serious draft though. See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 February 2#Bonus hole, which I closed as no consensus. Duckmather (talk) 13:48, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

If that's the case, then using AfC to subvert the no consensus at RfD isn't proper. You should open a discussion on the draft DAB's talk page and notify everyone who participated in the RfD discussion and ask if the proposed DAB is better than the wikt outline currently in the mainspace. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 13:39, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Removal of G5 speedy deletion tag

When you removed the G5 speedy deletion tag with an edit summary indicating "about a real person" were you aware that whether or not they are a real person is not the reason for G5? WP:G5 is for articles created by banned or blocked users, regardless of content. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:47, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

@Bri: I tend to think that articles should belong here on Wikipedia if they are about real people, regardless of whether they were sock-written or not, if someone is willing to salvage the articles anyways (and one admin, Tamzin, has said she roughly agrees with me in this respect). Duckmather (talk) 17:03, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

As an administrator, I can confirm that "seems to be about a real person" is not a valid reason to remove a G5 tag. The purpose of G5 is to not encourage banned editors to continue evading their ban if they think their contributions will stick anyway. Especially Slowking4, this is a long-term abuse editor who spams poor-quality articles. Also, merely existing isn't a reason for having a Wikipedia article. If you disagree with the Speedy Deletion process, you should refrain from interacting with them or removing tags to force your own opinions that are against community consensus. Continuing to do so may be considered disruptive. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 22:52, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

I have the same question for Muthazhagu (TV series) which is part of a larger sock farm of UPE editors that have been bludgeoning Wikipedia. It is a slap in the face for those of us trying to enjoy our time here and clearing out the work of undisclosed paid editors who don't seem to get the point. The speedy request is for being created by blocked or banned user. Declining so would mean that they are NOT a banned user. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:35, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

I realize you are not required to response, but hoping you can shed light on your reasoning for the decline. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:16, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Shuya, Ivanovo Oblast. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

NCIS (season 21)

Hello! Can you close edits for IPs in this article? -- J. Bauer (talk) 20:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC) Or... Can you block this article for IPs? Thanks... -- J. Bauer (talk) 20:39, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

@J. Bauer: I'm not a Wikipedia admin; You need to ask at WP:RFPP.

Also, I don't see how the IP edits are particularly disruptive? It's not like typical IP spam (blatant ads or random keysmashes). Duckmather (talk) 20:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Okay, Thanks. 3 IPs deleted my paragraph about crossover characters...-- J. Bauer (talk) 20:51, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikisource

I'm considering writing a short article for the Signpost about contributing to (English) Wikisource, which I've been doing on and off since this January. Since you're another Wikipedian who recently joined that project, I wondered if you would like to say a few words about your experiences getting started on Wikisource (learning curve, pros, cons, anything really). No worries if you don't want to. Cheers, Cremastra (talk) 14:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Cremastra: Sure, why not. Duckmather (talk) 18:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

You can go ahead and reply here, I'll incorporate your comments into the potential article. Thanks, Cremastra (talk) 19:57, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
