Page mover granted edit
Hello, Dxneo. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
- Wikipedia:Requested moves
- Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 07:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
DYK for Nandipha Magudumana edit
On 23 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nandipha Magudumana, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the celebrity doctor Nandipha Magudumana was imprisoned and investigated for twelve crimes, including murder connected to a fugitive's prison escape? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nandipha Magudumana. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Nandipha Magudumana), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

- Well, that wasn't a nice welcome to DYK, was it? I'm very sorry for it. I just want to reiterate Amakuru's comments that you did nothing wrong whatsoever. The DYK checks were insufficient; that hook should never have made it onto the main page. Thanks for your good work; please keep it up. And don't be discouraged from nominating at DYK. Something like this does not happen very often. You'll have a much better experience next time! Feel free to ping me or Amakuru when you nominate again and feel that things might potentially be controversial. It's easy to sort things out before a hook goes to the main page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Weeknd edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:WikiProject The Weeknd requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject The Weeknd. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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.

- I don't see the proposal for this project. Did you go through Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals? It's best to find enough editors interested in participating in the project first before creating it. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:55, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Wow Star, I didn't know there were steps to be followed before creating this, I literally spent days writing this in my notepad, formulating it and trying to figure out how it's subpages, templates and categories work. Since this is a speedy I guess there's nothing I can do but I am willing to give my all into making this work. Question, if it's gets deleted, will it's all associated templates go too? And when I finally get approval for recreation, will all the lost data be restored? dxneo (talk) 02:19, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- They will get deleted but they should be recoverable as well should the project get the go-ahead. You may want to contact User:AskeeaeWiki, who was the previous person who attempted to start the project on their own, to help. Projects only work if there are groups of people willing to maintain it. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 03:06, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars If it stays, or if User:Dxneo goes ahead and gives it the proper go-through process, then I'm all in for helping maintain it. 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺, 03:11, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Michael, I would appreciate it if you joined the participants and also helped contest the deletion while I try to get the ahead for the project. Star, since the project is now on death row, how do I ask for its approval? dxneo (talk) 07:02, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'll try my best. I looked at the deletion discussion and some seem positive towards just going to proposing it while some are harsh and believe it should never exist, I'll help. 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺, 07:10, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

- By the way, you do not need a WikiProject to improve the content of the topics you are interested in. This is why solo projects aren't particularly useful. Just work on those articles. By the way, I do see that the project was temporarily saved, but please do not create any more and be sure to read up on new aspects of Wikipedia if you haven't devled in them before (i.e., never just copy what other people did). Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:08, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Star, honestly I don't recall saying I created the WikiProject to improve articles, I was just expanding and trying new things that's all. Thank you so so much for your help, you are appreciated. And what do you mean by "
never just copy what other people did
"? dxneo (talk) 17:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)- Improving articles in a collaborative manner on a common area of interest is the goal of WikiProjects (in this case, articles related to The Weeknd). Since you said you did a lot of research to create this WikiProject, yet never looked up any guidelines on how to do it, I assumed you must have taken your cues for other existing WikiProjects. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:08, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Star, yes I did look up how they are structured and again yes, I studied how multiple WikiProjects are written. WikiProjects such as Sia, Mariah Carey, Billie Eilish and Rihanna just to mention a few, I did so to see what they all had in common. Some things around here are really difficult, as of now I'm still learning how to construct the assessment table/recognized articles but I figured it's best I tag every the Weeknd related article before I proceed. If you have any pointers on how to make this less difficult, please do tell. dxneo (talk) 18:39, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
