Tagging pages for speedy deletion
Hello, Utopes,
I just wanted to share a comment with you about pages like Siege of Ani (1124). Admins patrolling the CSD categories are much more likely to take swift action on requests like this if, using Twinkle, you select CSD>G6 Move and then in the field, you put the name of the page you want moved. Then the admin can check out the page, make sure the move is appropriate and then, with one edit, delete the redirect page and move the draft/article. I can't speak for all admins but I think they are less likely to delete a valid redirect so that another editor can move the page. I realize that to an editor, it may not seem any different from having another editor move the page. I'm just sharing what I've seen happen with G6 CSD requests like this. Thanks for all of the work you do! Liz Read! Talk! 06:31, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz: Hey Liz, thanks for the message! I believe there may have made a mistake in that box at first. Initially I put in Draft:Siege of Ani into the Twinkle field, but then I quickly realized that I needed to add "(1124)", which is what I did in a follow-up edit a few seconds later. I was actually curious about what had occurred there, because an hour after I tagged Siege of Ani, I did the same with Draft:Tourism in Tripura in prep for an AfC move. That time the draft title had no issues, and it was quickly processed by 78.26. I suppose my question then is does fixing a wikilink in the CSD tag show up on the admin side of things? Visitng the page now, the G6 Move tag in question still has Draft:Siege of Ani (1124) linked, but that would've happened only after fixing the mistype. Utopes (talk / cont) 07:00, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Precious
reviewing
Thank you for quality articles about chemistry, from creating such as Nitrosyl perchlorate to FA plans for Chromium, for disambiguation pages and redirects, for reviewing on a large scale, be it articles for creation or GA nominations, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
You are recipient no. 2919 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:45, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Wow! Thank you so much for the recognition! Reviewing usually goes under the radar compared to the people who do the writing, so this means a lot. I guess this is motivation to keep working on improving article quality then ^^ 😅. The Chromium FA might be quite far into the future; I feel it might be better to get some practice with a GA here or there in the meantime, which all-in-all might be months or years. I'll do my best though! Utopes (talk / cont) 00:46, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Adidas Top Ten
Hello Utopes. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Adidas Top Ten, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: @DrowssapSMM, Justlettersandnumbers, Pppery, LeDroider, Voorts, Bruxton, Deb, and Utopes: Please see User talk:DrowssapSMM#Speedy deletion declined: Adidas Top Ten and the draft article itself: "Submission declined on 2 March 2024 by Deb". I'm quite obviously WP:INVOLVED here, and will not particpate in any action requiring WP:ADMIN privileges. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 09:49, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Shirt58: It was declined due to a lack of adherence to NPOV on 2 March, and not for notability. The NPOV issues, in my eyes, have since been fixed. I tagged it for CSD in preparation of moving this to mainspace, and in the discussion you linked me it seems as if someone had previously attempted to do the same as well, although that was before the 2 March decline. The article has improved since then. Utopes (talk / cont) 09:54, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Jeffrey Eli Hass decline
Thank you for your help with the article Jeffrey Eli Hass, which you declined. I am new to authoring, as you could probably tell. I have made the improvements you suggested and resubmitted. In the Awards, etc. heading, I have located and cited secondary sources. I have also removed external links to from the body. Once I am able, and the article is approved, I will likely move it to the title "Jeffrey Hass" (remove middle name) as this is what the composer's music and recordings are published under and at the moment, there are no disambiguation issues. Please feel free to make other suggestions you believe can improve the article. Snackwell122 (talk) 16:18, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Ossama Kamal is declined
Hi @Utopes, thanks for reviewing my article about Ossama Kamal, the Egyptian TV host.
I'd like to let you know that all references are well established news platforms in Egypt, in addition to links of his own companies and Expos.
In addition, I've added a new reference, which is a YouTube link to a TV interview, where he was the guest, and talked about his background, education, and career, so all info in the article could be verified by his own interview. Abdoelmallah (talk) 12:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Thanks
It was not on my bucket list but regardless of the outcome, thanks for recommending me for the autopatrolled permission. Cheers, Vacant0 (talk) 18:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Figured you might like to know you're beating the bot for weekend redirect reviews, and it isn't even close. Rusalkii (talk) 19:03, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
Hello Utopes,
I understand that you reverted my edit on the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. However, what I only partially understand is that all the content from the former article is already included in the current "Multiple sclerosis diagnosis" entry, so why should it be controversial to delete the old lemma?

Redirects
Hello, I saw you nominated many redirects I created for deletion. If the creator's desire is enough to procede, feel free to delete them all since I support that decision. Thank you and I apologize for any inconvenience. 7szz (talk) 01:32, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
New editor: Thanks so much
Hi there user Utopes. I wanted to say thank you for reviewing my draft for T-Money so quickly, it was my first wikipedia article for creation submission and you gave me some great feedback. I also got some help through Teahouse. I was wondering if you would be willing to take a look at the edits I made to my draft, and lend more feedback. I'd be greatly appreciative! @Utopes Taevchoi (talk) 22:09, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hey there! I took another look at the article and it's looking pretty solid so far. Looks to be neutrally-worded, the sources seem solid enough, and as a whole I think it could totally stand on its own as an article. The only current roadblock that I can foresee with this draft, is the precedent at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/T-Money (rapper), specifically the fact that T-Money didn't quite meet the notability guidelines for musicians at the time, set out by WP:MUSICBIO. I think what you've written here is arguably much better than what used to be at the T-Money (rapper) article (which is currently a redirect, but its former contents are viewable in the history, or with this link: [1]) If you can read over that discussion and let me know how T-Money qualifies for an article per the WP:MUSICBIO guidelines, I'd be happy to approve. Thanks for the message! Utopes (talk / cont) 06:42, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Utopes! Thanks a lot for your help. I appreciate you taking the time to compare my edits to the previous text that was created for T-Money in 2016. Looking at the discussion in the articles for deletion, I can tell that a huge concern was the absence of reliable sources. Furthermore, user Innisfree987 was trying to get in contact with the editor to help improve the page before it was deleted, but it seems they were not able to get in contact. I'd like to quote user Innisfree987, "Certainly if editor or others come back to work on it and can provide more sources, then great. Working with Dr. Dre and MTV on hiphop in the '80s is potentially a very important piece of music history; we just need the WP account of it to meet verifiability standards." I agree that the original Wikipedia article for T-Money was poorly written by a first time Wikipedia editor. As a first time editor myself, I initially thought all the article needed was more sources. Through the feedback of my peers, such as yourself and those at Teahouse, I realized the cadence and the integrity of the sources needed work as well. I also agree that T-Money's contribution to 80s hip-hop is rather significant to hip-hop history as a whole, especially since Original Concept was an early group signed to Def Jam. And outside of his group, he made a name for himself through hosting Yo! MTV Raps. I believe that T-Money qualifies for his own article because he meets numbers 1 and 10 of the guidelines. The sources I included in my draft are much stronger and more credible than the sources that were included in the 2016 draft. I am eager to hear your thoughts, @Utopes! Thanks again!
