Hello, I'm Laterthanyouthink. I noticed that you recently removed content from Aboriginal Tent Embassy without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

When you propose an article for deletion, you’re encouraged, but not required, to notify the article’s author and any major contributors. You can write your own note or use Template:Proposed deletion notify. — A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count) 23:32, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
"The article's creator or other significant contributors should ideally be left a message at their talk page(s) informing them of the proposed deletion. This should be done by adding the {{subst:Proposed deletion notify|Name of page}} tag, or other appropriate text."
Hello, Mach61,
Please do not ever tag a template for speedy deletion. When you do this, every single page that has the template transcluded on it are also tagged for speedy deletion. If you believe a template should be deleted, take it to WP:TFD. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 23:45, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on @hotel, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations 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 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.

On 23 October 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bobby Floyd (musician), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that despite being a keyboard player himself, Ray Charles hired Bobby Floyd to play organ and piano in his band? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bobby Floyd (Jazz musician). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Bobby Floyd (musician)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

An article to which you added a "Too long a plot summary" banner (11/18/2023), Early Jazz: Its Roots and Musical Development, was rated C-class by both WikiProject Jazz (which lists you as a member) and WikiProject Books. You can see that on the article's Talk page.
I assume that those projects, which are well qualified to judge the length of the article's "plot summary" < sic> of the non-fiction book, did not consider the summary excessively detailed. Rather they appear to have considered it appropriate enough to give it positive ratings.
Your edit, incorporating a denegrating banner, seems erroneous to me. Larry Koenigsberg ( talk) 05:06, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
First, thank you for stepping up to close this RFC, although I would recommend gaining experience with closing smaller and less consequential discussions before stepping up to major ones like this one - my understanding is that this is the first RFC you have ever closed?
To move on the substance of this, I would like to request you revert your close. First, you erred in closing the discussion after participating in a manner beyond merely clerking; this made you involved, and meant you should have left the closure for another - particularly since this was a set of three closely related RfC’s, and you !voted in another.
Second, while your closure of question two justified why you didn’t down weight the !votes in opposition, it presented no justification for why you down weighted the !votes in support - without such a reason an almost two-thirds majority should result in a consensus in favour. BilledMammal ( talk) 10:49, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
support !votes disproportionately lacked rationales, and …many support rationales overlapped with those of resolutions #3 and #1. The INVOLVED question is more fair, but I believe my participation in this topic area has been tangential to the questions at hand in this proposal. My oppose !vote with regards to the VPW banner didn’t touch on beliefs about WMF-community relations; I’d liken it to an admin closing this RFC after participating in the fundraising banner workshop, but no more recent disputes. And as a general rule, people are more tolerant of closers who have minor involvement if the relevant discussion has been stale for a few weeks.

The Netflix and LGBT representation in animation page is certainly overly detailed.

Historyday01 ( talk) 21:11, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
I really appreciate it! I also did some recent overhauls of LGBT representation in children's television and Disney and LGBT representation in animation pages.

Hello, Mach61,
I've been seeing articles you tagged as PRODS and there are a couple of issues. First, you are not leaving an informative edit summary. This is very important with PRODs because if they are de-PROD'd, editors look at the page history to see if the article has already been PROD'd and they do that by looking at the edit summaries. Also, you are not posting a notification of the deletion tagging on the article creator's talk page. This is an important step of the deletion process, especially PRODs because often the page creator can address the problems brought up in PROD tag and end up untagging the article. But notification is also important with CSD speedy deletions and AFDs and other deletion discussions.
I recommend you give Twinkle a try. It's a very easy-to-use editing tool used by most page patrollers and many administrators. It basically remembers all of the necessary templates so you don't have to memorize them or go search for the one you need. It helps tag page for deletion, tag articles for any problems they have, set up AFD/RFD/CFD/etc. deletion discussions, report vandals to noticeboard, post welcome messages to new editors, it even maintains a deletion log for you. Just be sure you set up your Twinkle Preferences so that the box stating "Notify page creator" is checked off. Twinkle will take care of both your edit summary and notifications for you. I encourage you to give it a short because it really helps with the editing process.
If you have questions about Twinkle or deletion notifications, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 22:35, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Mach61. Regarding notability: DIK has produced many of the top scientists in the german rubber industry. I have added several sources to support this fact, and checked in particular that they are in-depth, reliable, secondary, and independent. cites 3,4,5 and 13 certainly meet this standard. AresLiam ( talk) 23:28, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
DIK has produced many of the top scientists in the german rubber industrydoes not confer notability on DIK, since notability is not inherited. I cannot access the book source 13, but none of the other sources meet the very high bar WP:NORG sets (interviews are not independent). I believe that DIK probably meets NORG, but there is no evidence of that in the article's current sources. Cheers, Mach61 ( talk) 23:40, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Does producing >100 PhD rubber scientists that drive innovation in the German economy not confer notability to their source?No it does not. Per WP:INHERITORG, any
organization or corporation... must have been discussed in reliable independent sources for it to be considered notable, all other honors be damned. Mach61 ( talk) 02:48, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Your closure of the EI RfC on RSN saying that there was consensus in favor of deprecation is simply incorrect. Only three respondents actually gave any arguments for #4, and all of them misunderstand what deprecation actually is, as was pointed out immediately in replies which were not countered. Long and vigorous is not the same as rigorous. SamuelRiv ( talk) 05:19, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
few option 3 voters differentiated their position from those favoring deprecationmeans that minority option 4 becomes consensus, rather than imposing opposite burden: option 4 voters must distinguish themselves sufficiently from GU, else join 4 to 3 and option 3 wins; or else join 3 with 2 and option 2 wins, etc. Where does this standard come from in RSN that you can interpret a consensus in this 4-option vote?

1) are all interviews considered primary sources? I was privileging them even in other articles I improved, for I thought they usually contain more informations than other kind of articles, but if editors consider them primary sources it means I need to be aware of it. 2) what does "non independent" exactly means for an interview?

Hello, Mach61,
For pages like Lizet Benrey, you'll get a quicker response from admins patrolling CSD categories if, using Twinkle, you select CSD>G6 Move and then, in the field, put a link to the article you want moved to main space. The current tag has no active link so it requires admins to cut and paste the title for the draft in the URL bar which takes more time. And few admins will delete a main space page without viewing the article you want to move to main space.
If you correctly tag the redirect you want deleted, an admin can easily check out the draft, see that it is suitable for main space, and with one click, move the draft and delete the redirect with one edit. It's much easier than the way you are currently requesting a page deletion. I think if you adjust your way of tagging these pages, they will happen more frequently and won't be sitting around for hours. Thanks and good luck. Liz Read! Talk! 08:05, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello! The Kim Yu Kyong article draft was declined by you. I understand the reasoning but its a little bit of a tricky situation because North Korea doesn't have that many sources to reference, its harder to find references without only passing mentions. I hope we can agree that Kim Yu Kyong is notable enough for an article and it is just the references that are the problem, The Moranbong Band is the most popular in North Korea and she is the lead singer. Other people in the Moranbong band also have articles. I would appreciate if you could help me with this, my family has some ties to the DPRK and I feel that artists from North Korea are not represented enough because people cant seem to look past anything other than the politics, and not many people actually look at the talented people in North Korea which are just like in any other country.

Hi Mach61, thanks for reviewing my draft article Draft:Marty_Rifkin. I'm writing you because the book references indeed are more than just passing mentions. Reading the Hiatt (a longtime Rolling Stone magazine writer) book in particular is what inspired me to draft this article. I'm a big Springsteen fan, and this book goes in depth into almost every Springsteen album. The pages I referenced are primarily about the recording sessions for "The Ghost of Tom Joad". I particularly enjoyed Hiatt's discussion about Rifkin's unusual pedal steel guitar technique on this album: tonally Joad is fairly unique, folky/country-adjacent but very much with its own style, and this passage made me realize how much Rifkin contributed to that. The Dolan book also discusses Springsteen moving even more towards country based on the instruments (pedal steel guitar & Dobro) Rifkin played in the Joad sessions. The Hiatt book also mentioned that at the time of these sessions in 1995, Rifkin had just played on another favorite of mine, Tom Petty's "Wildflowers" album, which I had never made the connection before. I knew about all that Rifkin has done with Springsteen (which is documented extensively in one of my other favorite sites, Brucebase, which I also linked to), but learning more about his other work inspired me to collect it there.

The group's groundbreaking achievements have been recognized and celebrated by various media outlets, institutions, and industry professionals over the years."Groundbreaking" is the type of informal, overflattering term that should pretty much never appear in encyclopedic writing; and, without naming what organizations have recognized the group, the sentence does nothing but inflate the group's importance whilst imparting minimal useful information to the reader.

I'm sorry if posting like this isn't common courtesy on Wikipedia, I'm still new to creating content on here after being a browser for so many years. I see that you declined my article, draft:swim school (band), and I'd like to ask what was done wrong. I had several sources that are independent of the band and talk exclusively about them, like the Atwood Magazine, Under The Radar Magazine, and others. All of these are respected organizations within the music industry so I don't see a reason they don't count under the Wikipedia guidelines. I worked hard to start this article and I plan to add a lot more to it going into the future, but right now I hope this issue could be better understood by me.

maybe a dumb question here, but anyway, im from norway and would like for my english contributions to be apparent of my norwegian version of the site. is there a way to do so? the ground base of my question is; is my account on [en.wiki] the same as my account on [no.wiki]?, or are they technically separate? -- Elextures ( talk) 14:12, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
On 14 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Medicalisation of sexuality, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that as a result of the medicalisation of sexuality, sexual disorders like erectile dysfunction have been used as a "penile health gauge" to measure general wellbeing? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Medicalisation of sexuality. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Medicalisation of sexuality), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

When closing AFDs, you also need to remove the AFD tag from the article - and place a "kept" tag on the talk page. Within the discussion itself, you should furthermore place AFD top on the very top, not below the headline, as well as "subst'ing" AFD top and AFD bottom. I can't clean this up since I stated my keep opinion in the AFD, which goes to show that I'm talking about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blue Rose (band).

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
tag from
Betrayer (band), which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial.
Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, proposed deletion is disallowed on articles that have previously been de-prodded, even by the page's creator, or which have previously been listed on
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{proposed deletion}}
template back to the article, but feel free to list it at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Hello Mach61,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hello, thank you for reviewing and accepting the article for Jorge Suarez. You did an edit that said: "overly detailed lists of performance venues belong nowhere, but especially not the lead." I was just wondering if shortening it to only a couple of concert halls and festivals would be fitting. And would it be okay to be on the lead or should we create another section?

Hi @ Mach61, can you review this draft article Draft:S. S. Karthikeya. Thanks in advance! Pulmowrites ( talk) 15:45, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Mach61,
It looks like you moved around this article but left the Talk page behind. Can you make sure that the article and Talk page are at the same page title? Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 00:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
