draft:DIYCNC edit

why was this page deleted on the grounds of source being archived website and instructables and hackaday. and how is it self promotion after the main website closed down. also can I change the name of the draft or do I have to make a new one CrestLit (talk) 06:56, 16 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

@CrestLit: Draft has been restored by Admin. I believe you can work on it again. TheChronium (talk) 09:11, 16 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Dr. Michael Baston edit

Hi TheChronium! You set my page, Dr. Michael Baston for speedy deletion and I'm very confused as to why. It was a simple piece for my local community college president. Other college president's have pages and I based the text off of them. I had a bunch of sources as well. Please advise.--Makstrat6204 (talk) 18:18, 20 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Tendencia band edit

Hi, thank you for checking this new page. I would like to know if instead of delete it, the page could be improved. This band already has a page in Wikipedia in Spanish and German, and maybe the article in English just need an expert to make it right. The band is 25 years old, with more the 5 professional records, signed with important label companies in their country and in Europe. They developed a music style unique, due to the fusion of metal music and ethnic elements. There are studies in Universities in Cuba and abroad about their use of the drumms, because of the times they use are unique. Important megazines like the MetalHammer have talked about them. Again, I think it just need an expert to do the article right Blue Kilimanjaro (talk) 18:04, 22 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Lou Lentine edit

Hello,

You recently speedily deleted Lou Lentine. It had multiple sources, indicating notability, and I would think that running several major businesses and holding over 100 patents would indicate significance. Can you tell me why you deleted it? THank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lonaty (talkcontribs) 13:32, 7 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sam Levine edit

Hello,

You recently sent Gabriela Torres Olivares to drafts with a note that it was due to lack of references. It had a number of sources, ranging from academic journals, online journals, government websites and news sources. I added more and cleaned up some of the old citations, but I am wondering if there was any other reason you sent it to drafts, so that I can be sure to address it while I await its second review. It's my first page, but I have a number of artist/writers' biographies that I plan to add, and I want to ensure that they meet the guidelines. Thanks! Sam Levine (talk) 15:09, 7 July 2021 (PDT)

Why did you move Paul van Son? edit

Hi, why did you move the page to Draft:Paul_van_Son? Perhaps you don't know the Munzinger Archiv as a source? Because it is highly reliable and also widely used as a source for articles in the English wikipedia.--ReMü77 (talk) 09:58, 10 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Pooja Agrawal edit

Hi can you please reinstate the page for Pooja (even in draft) so I can edit it the page to suit wikipedia guidelines? She is very of note and it was not written to promote her but I will ensure the page is written in the correct tone Thank you! Saraheackland (talk) 10:21, 15 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Some baklava for you! edit

  Thank you for the speedy deletion of Omeros company page as I was still working on it and I published it by mistake, thinking it was still in the draft space. SX3001 (talk) 15:45, 20 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

New Page Reviewer granted edit

 

Hi TheChronium. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

  • Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
  • If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Chetsford (talk) 02:00, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Draft:Ghazal Sadat edit

Hi, I translated this article from Persian wiki, and everything are mostlly same of there, can I ask what was the problem of you moved that to draft? ZEP55 (talk) 14:18, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

ZEP55, it needs more reliable sources to be live in mainspace. You can add more sources then submit the draft for review. TheChronium 14:12, 22 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sarah Burgess (playwright) edit

Howdy, wanted to let you know that I disagreed with your draftification of this article and have gone ahead and moved it back. It had a fairly complete profile in the WaPo, and a mention in the NYTimes, which are both heavy hitters for notability. The whole thing had sourcing, so that isn't really a valid reason to move it back to draft. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 21:46, 22 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for notifying me and for highlighting reliable sources. TheChronium 07:55, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Same creator as Arif Diren edit

Please consider draftifying Zija Grapshi, as created as article by same editor who did Arif Diren (now Draft:Arif Diren). Also perhaps mention COI, as creator claims the photograph as own work. Same editor had by-passed AfC to create Rainita Pupi, again what looked like a potential COI, subsequently SD'd. David notMD (talk) 22:33, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Discovered there is a Draft:Zija Grapshi by a now indef blocked editor User:Derwishi10 so may be complicated. This is being discussed at Teahouse, and may be addressed by editors/Administrators who are seeing it there. David notMD (talk) 02:16, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Review of Draft:Geza Tarjanyi edit

Thanks for the review. I'm curious why you thought the draft was "advertising" in tone? If you could help me understand what gave this impression I could fix the draft. I thought I was writing a draft about a person who is an awful conspiracy theorist, who has been convicted for numerous public order offences and assaults! --Salimfadhley (talk) 11:17, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

I've resubmitted the draft. I would be grateful for your opinion as to whether the tone is more appropriate. --Salimfadhley (talk) 15:05, 28 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

About reviewing of Lý Quí Trung edit

Thank you for your reviewing. Could you help me point out some points need to improve? Sorry I am newbie. Myhanh (talk) 17:35, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

New Pages edit

Hi @TheChronium: thanks for reviewing some of the new pages! I was hesitant to nominate Goh Wee Ping and Cara Finnegan for deletion so I just categorized them and moved on even though they weren't that great. However I moved Janna Watson back out of drafts because it looks like it has enough sources to scrape by. There's a full feature in Globe and Mail, Fashion ​and Now, and decent coverage in some others like Azure. With a little work I think it could be fixed up. If I have time later, I'll roll up my sleeves and edit it. BuySomeApples (talk) 20:39, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Article edit

Hello, you should also consider this article as plagiarism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Gualde and don't be manipulating my article. Nasty bits (talk) 05:03, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion declined: Hira Thind (singer) edit

Hello TheChronium. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Hira Thind (singer), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: claims coverage in multiple sources, most of which are from this year, so they cannot have been considered in the 2016 AFD. Also, the page is not substantially the same if it contains information from after the AFD. A new AFD would be needed. Thank you. SoWhy 09:53, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021 edit

 
 
New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello TheChronium,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

 

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.


To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:33, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Requesting to restore= edit

Sir, you had already reviewed the wiki article Maahirii Bose. It meets [WP:GNG]]. Maahirii Bose is a celebrated film maker, singer and composer. She has acknowledged globally for her films. Even you had reviewed it someone still made it Draft:Maahirii Bose . Requesting to restore. Thanks Skylark007 (talk) 14:20, 16 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Review Draft:Leon Hady edit

Hi, you have moved the article to draftspace I created, the subject is notable and has multiple independent and reliable sources, can please review it again thanks -samsepi00l (talk) 15:47, 18 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Can you first explain why you are interested in creating this page? Do you have any connection with the subject or are you getting pay for this page creation? TheChronium 06:32, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Mr. Leon is my teacher and so I wanted to create a Wikipedia page about him I think he is notable to be on Wikipedia. -samsepi00l (talk) 06:56, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Stop deleting our pages edit

Please stop being a pain to us. First MER-C, Praxidicae, GSS, Celestina, and now you. Could you leave us alone? What do you get by deleting our pages? Why are you wasting your time like this?

Notice of sockpuppetry block edit

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Sanketio31 per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sanketio31. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

request edit

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

TheChronium (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Hello, Requested Admins especially Mz7 and MER-C to whom I mostly report users who are violating Wikipedia policies and doing undisclosed paid editing. I am not sure why I am blocked. I have never done any paid editing work and never broke any Wikipedia law. Sometimes my area IP shows blocked not sure why. In that case, I just do airplane mode on my phone and reconnect with the internet. I guess that was the reason I got blocked? Because I reconnected with another IP by using mobile hotspot and airplane mode. I hope this may explain my response. I will be a really good asset in fighting spam and upe if given the chance to continue. I will never break any Wikipedia law because I fully respect Wikipedia guidelines, admins, and this environment. This really helps me to pass some good refreshing time in this community. TheChronium 10:51, 9 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

The SPI says this account appears to have been used in a way intended to avoid CU detection. This request does not address that. And we get far too many requests from accounts blocked as socks basically saying "I'm not and I don't know why you would think I was". That's not enough for us to unblock. — Daniel Case (talk) 17:00, 10 October 2021 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@TheChronium, being mendacious at this juncture isn’t doing you any favors. How about coming clean, taking responsibility of your shortcomings and perhaps your unblock request might be taken seriously & even then it doesn’t guarantee anything. Celestina007 (talk) 19:48, 10 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
