WP:AFC Helper News[edit]
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
- AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
- The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Hotel California[edit]
the quote is "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
Anyhow: I am resigning from my position as Volunteer Editor at Wikipedia. This is "Two Weeks Notice" (in the "three weekends-notice sense of the calendar"; I hereby ask for a "global lock" on May 1 to prevent account hijacking or impersonation. I don't plan to edit again for at least three years, and ... well, if I can't get a functionary to verify my Identity, I definitely will fresh-start.
I feel like I have said quite enough already, but I will ask two more questions here:
- What was the specific problem with this username. Is it that people can't type it, or that people can't pronounce it, or that people confuse it with katakana KA, or "other"?
- Would it help if I changed my username to IDEOGRAPH 529B?
You are welcome to say whatever you like here, but I will not respond. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 01:10, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Dear 力 (powera?),
- You are right that people can't type is (I copy-pasted it), or pronounce it, and that may bother some people.
- People that did get somehow bothered by it would probably be less bothered by the username IDEOGRAPH 529B.
- I would still ask you to reconsider and stay. But if your decision is not changed, for some reason, than I do hope that a functionary does verify your identity, or that you fresh-start at the earliest opportunity. Good luck in your endeavors, I will certainly miss you here. Warm regards, warshy (¥¥) 18:02, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'm saddened to see that you are retiring. It sounds like you are focused on the RfA. I just referred to you as Power but it can be difficult at RfA if you have an unusual name with non-Latin letters.
- You have no idea what people will Oppose you for. For me, it was random sarcastic comments I made when I was a new editor...even though 2 years had passed, some folks have long memories. I hope you'd continue working here without the admin tools but I understand wanting to take a break. I was gone from 2016-2018 and it was the best thing for me. I was getting burned out and I came back with new energy. So, I won't say good-bye, just until we meet again. Take care and good luck in whatever activities you pursue. Liz Read!

AfD closures[edit]

Hi, I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to reconsider your no-consensus closes for Mervat Rashwan and Karl-Erik Nilsson. While I agree that we should be cautious about deleting articles that could be notable under new guidelines, the presumption of notability has been removed from all NSPORTS SNGs and NFOOTYNEW, if adopted, would only tell us that the required significant coverage is likely to exist. There's no need to wait until a new guideline is adopted, as it wouldn't change the outcome of either of these. Pinging Fenix down who relisted both of these yesterday. –dlthewave ☎ 22:55, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- I am not willing to reconsider the closes. There isn't consensus at this time. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 23:57, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

April 2022[edit]
This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/力 2, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Bbb23 (talk) 00:24, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Huh? Not to mention that slapping an L4 vandalism template on an experienced user who has just retired is more than faintly disrespectful, unless I've missed some change RfAs can be and have been courtesy blanked – it's common practice.Hope you come back, Power. — J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 01:12, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- That was unnecessary and unexplained. I've reverted Bbb23 and struck their uncalled for warning. Bbb: please find something more productive to do and don't give vandalism warnings for things that aren't vandalism. Levivich 12:53, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Critical race theory backlash[edit]
Hello, 力. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Critical race theory backlash".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 03:38, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
