A tag has been placed on 1000000000000 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

G4 - consensus was to redirect the other page, delete this one

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

the authors of these articles deserve our best

I noticed your recent GA review and it doesn't inspire me with confidence. Sadly, WP:GARC is closed but I would suggest you look at other successful GA reviews in your area of preference so you get a better idea of what a fulsome review looks like. Here are GA reviews I've done over the years, for comparison. Chris Troutman ( talk) 19:20, 7 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Tfd for December 24

Hi, Atavoditurk, I reverted your Tfd of the navbox Dependency of Grenada because you had done it wrong, but I also thought it was an act of vandalism. I've restarted the nomination. WikiCleanerMan ( talk) 15:35, 24 December 2022 (UTC) reply

Your recent redirects

Hi, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, I noticed that you have created some redirects that might not meet the redirect guidelines. I don't think the redirects you are adding are plausible typos or search queries. I understand Reddit may sometimes insert weird characters when copying and pasting text, but I do not think that in it of itself is a good reason to keep those redirects. A website being broken is not a sufficient condition to necessitate the creation of such redirects. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 19:45, 26 February 2023 (UTC) reply

Disambiguation link notification for January 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detectedthat when you recently edited List of U.S. communities where English is not the majority language spoken at home, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Agua Dulce, Texas. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, -- DPL bot ( talk) 05:48, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your edits to List of U.S. communities where English is not the majority language spoken at home however, in addition to the automated message above, there are about 20 other links which point to disambiguation pages. It is almost always better to point the reader to a specific article. A trick to identify these is to go to your "preferences" (drop down list top right) and go to the "gadgets" tab. Scroll down to "Appearance" & put a tick next to "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange". — Rod talk 09:55, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
