Hey you asked me to add those external Links to the External Links Section & go by the guidelines of Wiki which you linked and I read everything about Linking & External Links and how everything needs to be formatted. I followed all instructions and then another Admin who is being dishonest has lied and removed the external Links having some type of personal effect to what it was related to I can only assume considering the links were related to Electronic Harassment & Gangstalking which can clearly be reviewed and inv3estigated if I can get some other Admins involved who are honest. I would still like to add the external links they are relevant you can check them and they should be there on that page in Wiki this is important information that is not included or available and ads to the learning experience of Electronic Harassment and Ganstalking adding actual information on what a Targeted Individual is when it comes to Electronic Harassment, All the info is on that website I tried to link externally. I do research on the topic and felt it was worthy of adding. Please help me remove these false reports against me by this dishonest lying false accusation making Wiki Admin. I want to appeal and hold this person responsible for being dishonest and I have all the proof to back it up and to prove the external link I added was relevant and in need of supply considering its crucial information that is not provided by the thread or page. Credible information. Here is the URL - https://maininfo.wixsite.com/gangstalking — Preceding unsigned comment added by ResilientWiki ( talk • contribs) 19:06, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Blade, I am writing you as an Administrator because of your listed interest in Metal Bands. I am trying to find the deleted page of Christophe Szpajdel, not a musician but has created thousands of logos
https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Christophe_"Volvox"_Szpajdel/75355
(something in "Volvox"_Szpajdel/75355 this url is conflicting with wiki text)
for metal, black metal and death metal bands. Any help or advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Christophe Szpajdel has had numerous exhibitions including the Walker Art Center, been featured in publications including Vice and Wired among others. He has an existing Wikipedia page in German , Polish and japanese.
I am interested in RE-creating an English page for him, his page was deleted and I would like to put one up within the guidelines. Any help / advice / input would be appreciated.
Thank you user = Dhaddonpearson — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhaddonpearson ( talk • contribs) 22:32, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Good evening. I saw you are listed on the list of editors who are willing to nominate users for administrator permissions, and I am here to ask for your opinion on my chances of success. I've been editing Wikipedia for nearly 10 years now, and I have mainly focused on fighting vandalism (a broad term, I know) and new page patrolling.
Over the years I have gained enough trust to earn a number of permissions including rollback, reviewer, autopatrolled, and more recently patroller. You may note that over the past few years my edit count has dropped, sometimes quite significantly, however I have always tried to maintain a presence on the project and a good knowledge of the policies.
I am always willing to own up to mistakes I have or may make. It was a life lesson for me a few years ago that you absolutely do learn from your mistakes, and this has since become a mantra for me. As such, my edit history has nothing to hide. Please feel free to browse through, and I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have, and as I know this is a huge favour to ask from a volunteer I thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Hi The Blade of the Northern Lights,
In view of the huge and sudden backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed since mid 2016, the WMF has begun a dialogue in a quest to examine the situation and possible solutions. Please consider commenting there if you have not already done so. It is highly recommended to read it all before it becomes too long to follow. The project is at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Analysis and proposal, and its talk page.

Hi there, it seems like there has been a lot of trolling to my wikipedia page Gurbaksh Chahal and you have banned it for 1 year. Can you revert this so it can go back to the hands of actual contributors who can fix it from the incorrect information currently on the page which further projects vandalism. The fact you banned it for one-year from editing is just exacerbating the current situation for me.

I just wanted to let you know that I undeleted Wikipedia talk:Administrator intervention against vandalism/Archive 1, which you had speedy deleted per G8. Although technically this talk archive is "orphaned" because the main page Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism isn't archived, I think keeping a record of the talk page discussion regarding AIV is useful. The archives go up to Wikipedia talk:Administrator intervention against vandalism/Archive 15, afterall. I hope you don't mind that I undeleted that first one without consulting you.

Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.
Attendees should bring their own laptops and power cords. Light snacks, drinks and cake will be provided.

You deleted the spokesperson's comment with the edit summary "Who cares?", leaving the paragraph as
That's inadequate.
So I have reverted your change. I marked it as "vandalism" because of your "Who cares?", and because I hadn't yet come to this page and seen your header, which is certainly not the style of a scribbling vandal. I apologize for this; I should have assumed good faith. If I knew a way to remove that tag, I would.

Hello The Blade of the Northern Lights, thank you for your efforts reviewing New Page and AfC submissions and your support for the ACTRIAL initiative.
The conclusion to the ACTRIAL report commissioned by the Wikimedia Foundation strongly reiterates our long-time on going requirements for the NPP and AfC processes to be improved. Within minutes of the trial being switched off, the feed was swamped with inappropriate creations and users are being blocked already.
This is now the moment to continue to collaborate with the WMF and their developers to bring the entire Curation system up to date by making a firm commitment to addressing the
list of requirements to the excellent suite of tools the WMF developed for Curation. Some of these are already listed at Phabricator but may need a boost.
The conclusions also make some recommendations for AfC.
A place to discuss these issues initially is
here where you are already a task force member.

I held of closing that section as I actually see the initial discussion differently. I read it as consensus to keep, but there have been two deleters since you relisted. I still think the conversation leans keep, but as that would essentially derail your initial assessment I wanted to bring it here first. If you think the consensus goes to delete, no worries, just think you should do the honors. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 10:33, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Genie working with Marilyn.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:50, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello! I see you are patrolling UAI and I was wondering if you could share your opinion on this for me. These two new editors Emmetmaclellan442 ( talk · contribs) and Alantuck11113 ( talk · contribs) are editing pages in which they clearly have a conflict of interest (check out this edit for example). I find it suspicious that two editors with COIs are editing the same article, Catherine MacLellan and Al Tuck within minutes of each other but they seem to be ex or current-husbands of this BLP. I don't think they can be blocked for username violations but would you mind watching them at least? They haven't edited since I dropped a COI template on their pages. Would you recommend COIN?

Hello, I nominated List of African supercentenarians for deletion and one of the participants took it upon themselves to merge all the continent articles together, but they can't for the African article because it is undergoing a deletion discussion. The discussion is presently going towards redirect to the new article, but I'm not sure if I should announce that I no longer support deletion to end the AfD early (which you can do right?) or let it play out. I don't believe the continent lists pass WP:LISTN, with the likely exception of Europe, so I don't actually want this content to live elsewhere. What do you think I should do? Newshunter12 ( talk) 21:16, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
I recognize that the article was started by a blocked account and if there had been no expansion since, deletion was proper, but since its creation, myself and other editors in good standing have significantly expanded it (it is 100% a legitimate topic). I will take any "responsibility" of what may remain of the original content from the blocked user, and otherwise reverted your deletion for that purpose. -- Masem ( t) 17:52, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

There is an editor, Netherzone, giving various editors a bit of a hard time on the longevity AfD's you started. They strongly appear to have deliberately deleted another editors vote here 1 at one of the AfD's. I'm not very knowledgeable on the disciplinary side of Wikipedia, but isn't that type of behavior a big no-no? Is it possible you could officially report this editor's misdeed, that has since been corrected by the editor whos vote was deleted. I checked both their talk pages and neither one messaged each other to discuss what happened and in any event, there is no realistic reason it would have been an accident anyhow. Thank you.

Hey, there is an indisputable vandalism problem at the List of British supercentenarians I could use help with. An IP user keeps adding people to the living supercentarian section using invalid citations like Oldest in Britain or citations for other people not the subject in question. They seem to want to include every British oldster known to exist and have to resort to underhanded means to get everyone on the list since RS don't exist for everyone. Although, I found valid sources for some of the people the first time, which were not hard to find, so they very well could just be a trickster not even interested in the topic. They have no talk page so I can't warn them directly, but I did warn them before in an edit summary to stop vandalizing Wikipedia 1. In that case, they used a source for two other men to intentionally falsely add four people to the list. Recently they: 2 (used someone else's citation), 3 (added someone to someone else's citation), 4 (Unreliable source), 5 (Same unreliable source). The links to Oldest in Britain were removed, but all four individuals and the two false citations remain. Could you please help hold 82.31.37.157 accountable with Admins, so they get blocked? Thank you. I don't know how to do it myself. After that incident before, I completely overhauled every entry on the living list and do not appreciate my hard work being contaminated with crud.

fixed your
merge of Marie-Louise Meilleur: you had a missing <

I just wanted to thank you for changing your vote at the Nabi Tajima AfD after considering my argument. Interestingly enough, Tajima, Kamato Hongo, and Shigechiyo Izumi were all from the same Japanese prefecture, Kagoshima, which at least partly suffered extensive record loss during WWII. Seems to be a rather troubled place for our purposes. I sure wish people could just be honest... I mean, in a modern country like Japan you don't just imagine you lived 2 or 6 or 15 more years then you did. I don't know if you noticed, but JFG found a source on a study, that if to be believed, convincingly destroys Jeanne Calment's claimed age as the product of identity theft by her daughter. Honestly, part of me wants to have a policy on these pages that anyone caught lying about their age is prohibited from being included, so as not to reward these liars. I'm sure the primary goal for these people was pension or other monetary fraud (avoiding inheritance taxes and stealing annuity payments is the alleged Calment goal), but fame is a major one as well. Do you have any thoughts on this topic? Newshunter12 ( talk) 07:41, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi The Blade of the Northern Lights, Thank you for reviewing the Institute of Acoustics article. To my surprise, you deleted that article which I had enriched with so much more new content, links and references compared to the initial version 2 hours before. The whole article had also been re-written in my own language. If you think there're still things I can do to improve the article, I'll be glad to follow your suggestions but, could you please consider to bring it back or at least send it to me privately because I didn't make any copy of it.

HI, Blade, long time since your name has popped up on my watchlist. Hope you are well, and willing to take a look at the goings-on at Bank Street Unitarian Chapel. We have a new contributor who is making a bit of a hash of things. I left a note on their talk page and also a couple on the article talk page.
Concerns include completence (although they *are* new), COI and the potential for meatpuppetry to kick off. I am sure that they are well-intentioned but not so sure they will listen. - Sitush ( talk) 15:58, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming edit-a-thons, museum and library projects, education initiatives, and other outreach activities.
We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! -- Wikimedia New York City Team 09:01, 27 February 2019 (UTC) | |

Hi The Blade of the Northern Lights. You indefinitely blocked DexterFilmFan999 who created this draft. It looks like DexterFilmFan999 copied and pasted The Emperor's New School in it's entirety onto the draft's page, perhaps to use as a template for a future article. Anyway, I removed some non-free images from the page per WP:NFCC#9, but there might also be WP:CWW issues with the text content itself. The lack-of-attribution issue can probably be fixed, but not sure it would be worth doing so. Do you think there's any value in keeping this draft? Should it simply be left to be deleted per WP:G13 or would it be better to go to WP:MFD instead? I guess it's possible that someone other than the creator might decided to try and work on this, but it seems unlikely. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:38, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
