Happy Holidays

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎

Thank you for improving article quality in September! - Ach, lieben Christen, seid getrost, BWV 114, is one of the pieces in my topic of this year. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:05, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

September 2024

Hello, I'm Bagumba. Your recent edit to the page Karl-Anthony Towns appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 06:11, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Bagumba, and thank you for letting me know; but not only did I already know that the edit had been (mostly) reversed, but I have a notice at the top of my page asking for folks to not template me. I know you were just trying to be helpful, but for future reference a simple 30 second typed warning will do. :) Cheers, atque supra! Fakescientist8000 11:41, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Apologies. This is a slightly nuanced topic, that I did check that you hadn't received. But again, sorry for the impersonal nature.. Best regards. —Bagumba (talk) 11:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

?

my comment was not removed. don't be so sensitive that you are sensitive to the criticism of others. criticism is healthy. surely you can see the insolence and pride of the crew in charge of the RD section. It's sickening. i don't know how to send you a private reply so i'm just following the instructions you left in your message for me. Peace Skootamassa (talk) 17:02, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

@Skootamassa I'm fully aware. However, passive aggressive comments such as that message are not helpful to the point of ITN/C. Cheers, atque supra! Fakescientist8000 19:23, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

what is itn/c?

there was nothing passive aggressive about my comment. that term gets passed around so easily these days. P/A is denoted by passive hostility and indirect communication. if anything i was being openly hostile and direct in my communication, which is synonymous with being critical. I don't intend to beat this issue into the bush, but when you come around blindly criticising the critic of a group of people who require criticism and introspection then you are just adding fluff to the air and stirring up uneccessary contention. I believe your intentions are good, however blind, and could be put to better use with true intent, your intent, and a decent understanding of the perspectives involved in the situation you so choose to meddle.

Peace and blessings to you, Skootamassa (talk) 16:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of 2030 United States House of Representatives elections

Hello Fakescientist8000,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged 2030 United States House of Representatives elections for deletion, because it's a redirect that seems implausible or is an unlikely search term.

If you don't want 2030 United States House of Representatives elections to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hi Fakescientist8000. Thank you for your work on 2032 United States House of Representatives elections. Another editor, MPGuy2824, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

it is WP:TOOSOON for these redirects to be created. They aren't even mentioned in the target page.

Speedy deletion nomination of 2030 United States House of Representatives elections

A tag has been placed on 2030 United States House of Representatives elections requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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.

I added periods at the end of sentences where there were none...

I added periods at the end of sentences where there were none... I moved a paragraph about a Korean War unit to the Korean War section where it belongs from the World War II section where it did not belong. And I corrected misinformation about the 100th Battalion and the 442nd RCT using information on those units that is contained in Wikipedia's verified entry/entries on them. And for doing this I'm wrong? OK, revert to the incorrect information if you wish. My apologies for intruding. 2603:800C:3A00:59B5:C4C1:3D56:2062:2A56 (talk) 02:40, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Peter Moskos (soldier)

A tag has been placed on Peter Moskos (soldier) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. Fram (talk) 14:46, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Peter Moskos (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Peter Moskos (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because

• it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or

• it is a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" whose target is neither a disambiguation page nor page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. ObserveOwl (talk) 17:29, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Proposed deletion of Kobe Paysour

The article Kobe Paysour has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable college player. Fails WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Win or Lose Corporation moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Win or Lose Corporation. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and in particular, the reliability of the first source at walkermedia.org is dubious (looks like a WordPress site, and the home page gives an Oops! That page can’t be found. error) and the second source is unverifiable. The article needs at least two and preferably three reliable independent sources with significant coverage of the subject. There's useful information about how to choose good sources and avoid bad sources here. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. SunloungerFrog (talk) 18:56, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
