Your request for rollback
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Wikipedia_Rollback.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Rollback.svg.png)
Hi Wagino 20100516. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY (TALK) 05:31, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Reviever user right
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Wikipedia_Reviewer.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Reviewer.svg.png)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.
Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Stop marking every edit as minor
[edit]None of your edits have been minor, especially the ones where you revert from redirect. It's disruptive to mark these kinds of edits as minor, per WP:MINOR, so quit it. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:02, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Premeditated Chaos: Okay! I will follow your advice. Please remember and help me for other case, if any. Thank you. Wagino 20100516 (talk) 01:03, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
Non-existent categories
[edit]Hi Wagino
In the last few weeks, you have created 109 new categories, in these edits[1].
Nearly of them are parented in a non-existent category of the form "Populated places in Foo". For example, Category:Rural localities in Selemdzhinsky District is et up as a sub-category of Category:Populated places in Selemdzhinsky District, which does not exist.
Per WP:REDNOT,
A page in any Wikipedia namespace should never be left in a red-linked category. Either the category should be created, or else the non-existent category link should be removed or changed to one that exists.
Because this is an error, it is tracked at Special:WantedCategories, where editors try to fix the problems.
Your edits have flooded Special:WantedCategories with 117 entries, which you can see at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WantedCategories&limit=500&offset=500
Please fix this as soon as possible.

- Many thanks, Wagino. That was quick!
- I just checked Special:WantedCategories again, and I see that I missed two categories which are listed on the first page of Special:WantedCategories: Category:Rural localities in Bauntovsky District and Category:Rural localities in Kurchaloyevsky District. Both of those seem to relate to your work, so please can you also fix those two?

Tagging pages for speedy deletion
[edit]Hello, Wagino 20100516,
It looks like you are an experienced editor but you can't just tag a page "delete" and invent your own reason. Please review Criteria for Speedy Deletion so you are aware of the accepted and valid criteria for speedy deletion, when they apply and to which namespace they apply to. It also would help if you learn to use Twinkle, an editing tool, to tag pages for deletion. With Twinkle, when you tag pages for deletion, it opens up a small window that presents the variety of different criteria that may apply which you can pick from. It makes deletion tagging very easy and straight-forward and presents pages in a way that administrators who review them, are very familiar with.
When you invent your own reason for why a page should be deleted, an administrator has to try to understand your point and make their own guess on which criteria might apply which can be time-consuming and also means that your deletion requests will sit there until an admin comes along who doesn't mind doing this. Using the standard deletion criteria in an appropriate manner, makes it easier for admins who review deletion requests and are much less likely that your deletion requests will be denied. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:09, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, Liz,
- I rarely request removal so the general terms of a delete request are ignored. In the future I will follow the directions you gave. Thank you. Wagino 20100516 (talk) 02:55, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
Page wth my credentials on Malay Wiki?
[edit]Hi Wagino;
I got a notice that a User Page CWH was set up in the Malay Wikipedia, apparently by you? It's here.
All the best ch (talk) 23:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- @CWH: Yes, the message coming from my bot. Nice to meet you. Wagino 20100516 (talk) 00:37, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Likewise, as I have seen your long record of service, but why did the bot set up the account? Should I do anything? ch (talk) 03:04, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- @CWH: It seem none, thank you. I'm submitted my bot status on id.wp, jv.wp, min.wp, and ms.wp wikis one of its jobs is to greeting all new users, so my bot is doing its job there. Unlike in en.wp which generally greets new users who have contributed, the 4 wikis allow (even encouraged) all new registered users to be greeted in a friendly manner so we hoping they are enthusiastic to contributing on the wikis. I'm sorry if my english is poorly. Wagino 20100516 (talk) 13:39, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Discussion at Talk:Sarah Azhari
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Symbol_watching_blue_lashes_high_contrast.svg/25px-Symbol_watching_blue_lashes_high_contrast.svg.png)
I invite you to please join the discussion at Talk:Sarah Azhari.
Hello, we are seeking help with the Sarah Azhari article, created in 2013 & recently the subject of a deletion proposal. At issue was whether or not the Indonesian language sources establish notability. I am inviting you to the discussion at Talk:Sarah Azhari#Help with Indonesian language sources because you are in the Category:User id-N & have a minimum of 1,000 edits across all Wikimedia projects.
I realize that some of you are very busy while others may no longer be editing. Nevertheless, I thought it wise to consult with you.
Thank your for the work that you do on Wiki[mp]edia! Peaceray (talk) 21:06, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Peaceray: Thank you has invited me to join the discussion. Wagino 20100516 (talk) 06:58, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Wrong comment on Indonesian Wikipedia (Komentar yang keliru pada Wikipedia Indonesia)
[edit]Hai, Wagino 20100516, saya hanya ingin menyampaikan bahwa komentar anda sebagai pengurus pada Wikipedia Indonesia keliru, saya tidak pernah diblokir secara global, harap segera anda ralat. Saya terkena blokir sewenang-wenang di Wikipedia Indonesia justru karena penyalahgunaan alat pengurus oleh pengurus dengan nama pengguna Herryz. Sampai sekarang belum ada respon dari pengurus-pengurus lain terkait penyalahgunaan tersebut di WP:WKK. Salam. Jellylovers (talk) 22:34, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Jellylovers: Sebenarnya tidak sepenuhnya keliru, hanya saja saya kurang lengkap menjelaskan 2 akun tersebut dan saat ini sudah saya berikan penjelasan tambahan. Terkait masalah blokir yang sedang berlaku saat ini silakan anda ajukan keberatan/ peninjauan kembali di halaman pembicaraan anda karena ruang tersebut tidak ikut diblokir. Terima kasih. -- Wagino 20100516 (talk) 17:29, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
