An article you recently created, Bob Whitcomb Racing, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hey @Guroadrunner, you made some significant improvements, good job! I see you've submitted it for review, so I expect the AfC team will provide accept the draft, or decline with feedback on what still needs to be done at their earliest convenience.

Thanks! If they decline are there more opportunities to make improvements? Guroadrunner (talk) 08:13, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Guroadrunner, I'm so sorry! I just realized I never responded to this. Yes, you can submit as many times as you need. The reviewers will provide feedback on what needs to be addressed in order to make it suitable for the main article space. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:19, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Hey man im josh,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

Suggestions:

• There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
• Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
• Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
• This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

Maybe there are different versions of Huggle, or different settings to make AIV reports automatically, but when I get past level 4 on a user, it gives me a huge dialog box to look at all of the diffs from the user being reported, which I verify (and include in the report) before submitting it. jp×g 16:22, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @JPxG, are you asking how to do this? I'm using Huggle version 3.4.10 build: 3880. Under System -> Options -> Warnings tab -> there's a box for "Automatically report users to AIV page". It's the 4th box from the top for me. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:35, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I mean, you'd added that to my AIV report (I don't know if it was a script or something), but I do go over my reports before I send them ;^) jp×g 18:43, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ohhhh!!! I understand now what you mean now and I can understand the confusion @JPxG.

I think there's an issue with Huggle detecting reports at WP:AIV that were created before the program was opened. It detects new reports for other users just fine, just seemingly not existing ones. So Huggle creates a new report and HBC AIV helperbot5 will usually end up combining duplicate reports. It doesn't happen too often, but unfortunately I'm not aware of a way to fix the issue. Luckily the worst that ends up happening is there's a duplicate report that the bot ends up handling. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:51, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The page creator of this doesn't match any of the names indicated by the speedy tag. Did you miss? - UtherSRG (talk) 01:28, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @UtherSRG, I don't believe I missed. It was created by User:Lacipetom who was a sock of User:پارسا آملی. I believe I'm supposed to tag pages with the puppeteer and not the sock, which is what I believe I did. Any clarification would be appreciated, as I can't see the now deleted page to see how I tagged it. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:33, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like user:Liz fixed it, you had Baba1031. All good. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:52, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely a mistarget then, thank you for letting me know and thanks to Liz for fixing who was tagged. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:04, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Josh, I don't understand why a Blue Dwarf forum page is not closely related to Wikipedia's goals, when Wikipedia contains pages for dozens of other obscure forums and provides links to them here: List of Internet forums . For example, how is a Blue Dwarf page any less related to Wikipedia's goals than the Dogster page: Dogster , which also has a link on Wikipedia's list of Internet forums? Gray453 (talk) 19:00, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Gray453. I can't see the deleted page, so I can't exactly recall what was on the page but I nominated your page for deletion based on section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Were you attempting to create an article for Blue Dwarf? If so, it must not have appeared that way to be when I came across it. If the forum is notable there's no reason you can't go ahead and create a page for it if you so wish. If so, I'd advise you to create it a draft at Draft:Blue Dwarf. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:26, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the text that I submitted (not including the links):

"Blue Dwarf is an Internet forum founded on the ideas surrounding the small Internet movement[1]. Those in the movement believe that the Internet should prioritize the needs of people at least as highly as those of corporations. This means the Internet should be providing a better experience for its users. Blue Dwarf has very few images, no advertising, and no tracking. This allows its pages to load quickly even on older computers and over slower Internet connections. The forum's use of a single Raspberry Pi 3 web server demonstrates that a simple, efficient website format and good software design can provide a positive user experience even on inexpensive low-power hardware. The forum tries to encourage a feeling of community while also supporting free speech. Users are expected to practice civility."

Are you saying you have no problem with me submitting it again? Should I rewrite it in some way to make it more consistent with the goals of Wikipedia? Gray453 (talk) 17:50, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Gray453. So long as you add reliable sources and create the page in a draft while it's a work in progress, instead of your userpage located at User:Gray453, I don't see why you won't be able to get a page published. You can submit a draft for review and the reviewers will tell you what needs to be fixed before it can be published. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:53, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Josh. I'll do that. Gray453 (talk) 15:41, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm gonna chime in here if you don't mind, Josh.

@Gray453: - Since the article you want is intended to belong in a list of similar articles, it would be good to read through some of them to see how what you have written above doesn't currently fit as an article, even if the topic would make a good article. Josh mentioned reliable sources; this is vital in helping to provide a neutral point of view. We're not here to create an article that has only the good stuff about a topic, but about all aspects. So if you find sources that criticize something the topic has done, sometimes those are the better sources to include or at least not shy away from. And yeah, hit this link Draft Blue Dwarf and paste your text there to start off. Good luck! We really are all routing for ya! - UtherSRG (talk) 18:02, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What's up with this? Created via AfC/R and then 5 minutes later tagged for deletion? - UtherSRG (talk) 00:06, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @UtherSRG. I was looking over requests at WP:AFC/R and I realized, after having processed that request, it had been made by an IP associated with the LTA case at WP:HKGW. Given that the request related to Honk Kong geography and there were several other Hong Kong related requests from that IP in the same edit, I declined the remaining requests they had made here. I wanted to deleted that redirect and update the request to declined based on LTA. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:12, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I wouldn't have had to ask if the request for this one had been updated with and "ooops" note. No worries. :) - UtherSRG (talk) 00:16, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oooh... a cabal! Is there a secret handshake? What do I get if I join? UtherSRG (talk) 13:00, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've found it on other people's userpages for a while and thought it was just dill-lightful, so I decided to "join" with the top icon and category. However, I just found this entry at WP:List of cabals#Pickle Cabal, which is jarring because I've just learned that I'm supposed to have a pickle signature! I'm now hoping the cabal lets just make puns ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hey man im josh (talk) 13:09, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah... I recognize some of the members... and I see not all make their signatures change.... This is killing me... I'm all a-ghast... UtherSRG (talk) 13:32, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Josh, I hope you are well.

This is the first article I have ever tired to edit on Wikipedia.

I did not know I had to add sources but I am happy to do so. However my IP has been blocked for 2 years so I can no longer add the sources.

I also think it is very harsh to block me for two years because I thought I wanted to provide some interesting information that I think people would like to read. There was also nothing wrong with the content of my information that would warrant a two year ban due to the reason of me not providing any sources. 85.210.207.107 (talk) 15:10, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @85.210.207.107. If you're editing now that means you're not blocked, which is a good sign. I encourage you to register an account and then, if your IP is blocked again, you can request an IP block exemption.

It's okay that you didn't know about adding sources, we all have to start somewhere, right? Start by adding reliable sources for content that you add to articles. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:15, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @R.C. chaudhary poet, I added a submission template to your draft so you can submit it for review. However, I have to warn you, it will get rejected based on its current formatting and lack of reliable sources.

Hello, Hey man im josh,

One nightly task I have is to tag empty categories that appear on Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories, Tonight, there are over 60 baseball template categories. You seem to have some connection to them. Do you expect them to remain empty for long? I don't want to tag them CSD C1 tonight if I'll just need to untag them tomorrow. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:11, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Liz, that's funny timing. I'm finishing filling them all right now. Exactly 150 templates left to categorize with AWB as of this reply.

I didn't want to meatbot and overspam, then I had to step away, so it took a bit longer than initially expected. Sorry about that. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:15, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All done! No more empty categories (that I created) =) Hey man im josh (talk) 02:04, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A few days ago, new page patrollers got the backlog to zero. Due to the unprecedented success of the backlog drive, it will be ending early—at the end of 24 October, or in approximately two hours.

Barnstars will be awarded as soon as the coords can tally the results. Streak awards will be allocated based on the first three weeks of the drive, with the last three days being counted as part of week three.

Great work everyone! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As was mentioned in the warning given to the user who made the change, the content that was added was completely unsourced. Reliable sources are needed for changes such as the one made to the article here. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:37, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is directly from Isaac Tigrett himself, in a conversation I personally had with him. I am Michael Feder, https://www.linkedin.com/in/mifeder/. This direct quote is unedited and reflects Mr. Tigretts true belief, and is also easily researched- NO charges or anything of the sort were ever filed against Sai Baba. So reporting gossip on Wikipedia seems pretty awful, especially given the hospitals and schools that were built by Sai Baba and the foundation... Thanks. 72.193.102.161 (talk) 19:36, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia, regardless of who you claim to be, needs reliable sources. We don't report anything here, we use what's already been reported and try to convey that in a neutral way. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:40, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Josh! I'm sorry to keep bugging you on your talk page (and at the risk of sounding dumb,) just wanted to see if you could help me with something.. If you look at my talk page, I have ClueBot III (I think that's what it's called,) archives my talk page every few weeks, and it looks like it's listing it by month.. Is there a way you can help me archive my talk page the way you have it? That way I can put MUCH more into one archive, rather than having so many listed with less content in each one. I appreciate your help, as always! :) SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 20:15, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @Spf121188: Josh doesn't appear to use ClueBot III to archive their talk page but instead User:Lowercase sigmabot III. You can chekc either the code at the top of Josh's talk page here or my talk page for how to set it up to archive your talk page. Or you can also follow the instructions here. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:23, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! Perfect, thanks Blaze Wolf! I appreciate the help! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 20:25, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Spf121188, I had problems with auto archiving at first as well. I ended up just saying screw it and manually archiving for a while as a result. Recently I got sick of it and copied the code at the top of the page from an admin, I forget which one. But basically I set a page size limit and it auto archives based on that auto numbering them with a default naming system. If you have issues with it let me know, I'll help set it up for you (with appropriate edit summaries for any onlookers). Hey man im josh (talk) 02:04, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At the risk of sounding stupid again lol... do you think you could lend me a hand with this? I'm not 100% confident in doing it correctly. Facepalm at myself lol 13:39, SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 13:39, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm able to help you out. Gimme just a sec. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:40, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Spf121188: Done. Some things might need to be changed so that the Cluebot archives are still shown however I don't know how to do that myself and the "archive how to" page for Sigmabot doesn't say anything about converting from Cluebot to sigmabot. I've left some instructions in hidden notes next to some of the parameters for you so that you know what to change if you want something to be different. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:52, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blaze Wolf, thank you for the help! :) I appreciate you both! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 13:53, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Spf121188, just so we're clear, are you looking to move existing archives (of months) instead numbered archived? Or just moving forward? Hey man im josh (talk) 13:54, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yep! With the monthly list, it's going to be way too much, so I figure if it's numbered, like you and Blaze Wolf have, I could fit much more into one, if that makes sense. Thanks again!! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 13:57, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What are you going to do about your existing archives @Spf121188? Manually merge them? Hey man im josh (talk) 13:58, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not gonna lie, I have zero idea how to do that... :( SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 14:00, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure there's some way for the existing archives to display in the archive header. I'll look at the template's documentation to see if it mentions anything about doing that. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Spf121188: Merge them into your new format, or try to link the old ones? It's up to you but we can help you either way. Personally I'd prefer to migrate the archived text to the new archive format and then CSD the old ones, but that's just me. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! If they can be merged into the new format, that would be PERFECT. I'm sorry to cause so much trouble for you guys, but I REALLY do appreciate the help! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 14:04, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just manually doing it at the moment. Can you confirm, before I go too far, that 150k is what you want your archive page limit to be? Or would you like it to be something else? Hey man im josh (talk) 14:07, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is perfect. Thank you again!!! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 14:08, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added {{Archives by months}} to the header parameter and it seems to have added a Cluebot index for the monthly archives. I'll ask at WP:VPT or maybe WP:HD if there is a better alternative. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:12, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aaaaand josh has accidentally just messed it up. Is it alright if I undo what you've done josh? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:13, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh man. I was just going to take the easy way out and manually merge them all @Blaze Wolf. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:14, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While that would work, it just creates a lot more work for us to do. What I've done seems to have worked by adding an "index" link. I might see if I can change that text to say "Cluebot archives" or something so that it can't be confused as an index for the Sigmabot archives. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:16, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate both of you, taking the time to help. I can't thank you both enough, and I feel like i can't apologize enough for the trouble lol SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 14:17, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bah don't mention it, it's no trouble.

@Spf121188, would you like the indexed link that Blaze Wolf added, or would you prefer that they all be merged into your new format? Either way is fine with both of us, I just want us to make sure that we're doing things the way that fits your preference. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:17, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If they can all be merged into the new format, that would be perfect! :) SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 14:18, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, fair enough. I was really just trying to limit the amount of work we have to do. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:19, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll resume manual merging. That was a great idea for inclusion though @Blaze Wolf. Definitely gives me an option for recommendations if the conversation comes up again with another user. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:19, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I literally was just searching through the archive header templates to find one that would work. I didn't even know that adding the template I did in the way I did would result in the index link. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:21, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, all done and merged together. @Spf121188, the "Index" part isn't going to disappear unless you nominate User:ClueBot III/Master Detailed Indices/User talk:Spf121188 for deletion. If you leave it be it may end up causing some confusing, so I do encourage you to do so. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:36, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yepppp, I will do that! Also, I assume that it'll auto archive at this point? Just making sure :) SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 14:38, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it should. I didn't see us discussing it here, so I'll just mention it in case. The current auto archive timer is set to 7 days, so it's up to you whether this, and the page size maximum (currently set to 150k) are suitable for you. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:40, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The bot will auto archive it at around midnight UTC. That's really the main reason I used sigmabot over cluebot, Cluebot apparently doesn't have an exact time it'll archive. It'll just happen whenever. Sigmabot I know will archive my talk page if it needs to be archived at midnight UTC (around 6/7 PM CDT which is my timezone) ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:51, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ya, also, if you ever want it to stop archiving your talk page temporarily, just comment out the code for the bot at the top. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:52, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Spf121188, @Blaze Wolf, the easiest way to setup archiving is to use {{subst:Setup auto archiving}} or {{subst:Setup cluebot archiving}}. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:39, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the phrase "by suicide", is there evidence it's the prevailing phrasing? I ask because the "agenda" I was referring to was submitting to op-eds that "commit" is a stigmatizing phrase, which it isn't. If there's evidence that "by suicide" is the dominant phrasing I will of course let this go, I just need to push back if the reason you're pushing this phrasing is because it's considered preferable by a minority of certain political/philosophical thinkers. Let me know, I thought commit was more common but I could be wrong. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 18:04, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @YouCanDoBetter, thanks for following up on the issue, it helped push me to be a bit better informed. See MOS:SUICIDE, both versions are accepted but there has been a push by many to switch to "died by". Some publications' style guides have begun to shift away from, or outright stop using, the phrase of "committed". I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, I won't stop a revert if you would like to restored your preferred version.

I think you're right about committed being more common, but both are acceptable and I think it may end up in the future that it becomes the default phrasing (though this is pure speculation and nothing related to policy). Hey man im josh (talk) 18:23, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the civility, I'm seeing "took his own life" as another option, would that be an acceptable compromise? YouCanDoBetter (talk) 18:33, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing that phrasing at MOS:SUICIDE so I'm going to say that it would likely fall under WP:EUPHEMISM. As I mentioned, I was reverting it under the belief that "died by" was the preferred terminology, but I now see that's not necessarily the case. So you are free to add back "committed suicide", though your attempts at compromise are very much appreciate (and encouraged). Hey man im josh (talk) 18:37, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I'll do more research and see if I can find anything definitive, until then I'll just leave it as is. I can tell you're coming from this sincerely, I appreciate it. Have a good one. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 18:43, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing my mistake on Ichnusa (disambugation) - clearly it was time to shut down the computer and take a walk. Leschnei (talk) 11:35, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Leschnei, no problem. I honestly didn't even notice til I got a warning about the "to disambiguation" tag, which made me realize there was a misspelling. It happens, no big deal =) Hey man im josh (talk) 12:47, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's always nice when people take time out of their day to acknowledge your work and let you know it's appreciated. Thank you so much @Jip Orlando! Hey man im josh (talk) 15:07, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the work you've done but it appears you are Canadian. Any reason why? Just curious. I love your work. 66.114.10.111 (talk) 15:10, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're asking me why I'm Canadian? Hey man im josh (talk) 15:13, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because they live in Canada? Why else would they be Canadian? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:47, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Mile Kadam, Jude Vatan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://microlyrics.com/bharat-jodo-yatra-lyrics. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Ew. They really did a number on that redirect. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:36, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969 and JalenFolf: Saw this notice, so I performed RD1 revdels. That should be adequate. - UtherSRG (talk) 22:20, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Hey man im josh, didn't realize that you'd get templated when I tried to get rid of the copyvio. Thanks UtherSRG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 00:09, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem @Onel5969, I expect this from time to time with the amount of redirects I create. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:04, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh @UtherSRG, how could I not enjoy something that brings me further interaction with you? Hey man im josh (talk) 13:05, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removing is a mistake! Please do Welcome to the Future! to Coyote Peterson and ten new sea lions, a new aviary, and a new baboon exhibit in North Carolina Zoo. Willard Walrus Boggs (talk) 15:20, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Willard Walrus Boggs, please see the talk page messages that I left you. The content that you're adding needs reliable sources to verify the information added. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:22, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I had a question about what are reliable sources? I can't seem to find where to find a list of sources that are reliable to cite as evidence. Thanks. Konor20001 (talk) 16:18, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Konor20001, you can find a large list of sources and their reliability at WP:RSPSS. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:20, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Belastro. Yep, no big deal. Just part of the new page patrol process. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:00, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work at NPP. As an AfC reviewer, I often see you review drafts I have accepted. Also, no worries if you ever disagree. Sometimes they can be borderline and a second eye is appreciated. S0091 (talk) 19:50, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AfC work can be difficult and tiring. There's a lot of grey areas and things to consider but you're doing a great job @S0091. I'll happily reach out to discuss anything if I ever feel the need to and I hope you'll do the same. Thanks for the cookie! Hey man im josh (talk) 03:12, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please be careful about what you say to people. Some remarks can easily be misinterpreted, or viewed as harassment. Wikipedia is a supportive environment, where contributors should feel comfortable and safe while editing. Contributing to the species AfD's was reasonable, but when you then went through my AfD nominations and opposed the other two unrelated discussions it became WP:HOUNDING. Please strike your contributions to those discussions. BilledMammal (talk) 13:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
