Question from HouseOfGoodDeeds (15:01, 20 December 2022)

Hi! An article which has featured me for years apparently got deleted and one of our followers told me about it.

How can an article deletion be undone?

Thanks,

Leon --HouseOfGoodDeeds (talk) 15:01, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello @HouseOfGoodDeeds, Welcome to Wikipedia!
Do you know what the article was called? It may be undeleted, but it depends on how it was initially deleted.

Hello @Akhil Kazhakuttom. Welcome to Wikipedia! Do you have a question? echidnaLives - talk - edits 23:39, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Changing category name

Hi, I'd like to change the name of the Category:Surnames of Anglo-Saxon origin → Category:Surnames of Old English origin, do you know how I could go about doing this please?

My reason for wanting to do this is because this is how Wikipedia refers to the language, "Anglo-Saxon" more commonly refers to the culture in England during the Dark Ages. The term has also become contentious among scholars, in part because of its adoption by the far right [8], 'SAVE THE ANGLO-SAXON RACE!' - Matt Walsh and Conservatives INSANE Belief they are 'Anglo-Saxons' on YouTube. PotterPayper (talk) 04:40, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello @PotterPayper.
Moving categories is a bit more complicated than moving normal pages. You may notice that there isn't a move button on the category. Only Administrators, Page Movers and Bots have the technical ability to do this.
Now, there are 2 ways you can get someone to do this for you. You can use Speedy renaming, or Categories for Discussion. Speedy renaming will have it done within 48 hours, unless someone opposes. It must meet strict criteria for this, which are listed here: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion#Speedy renaming and merging.
If you believe it doesn't meet the criteria, you can list it at Categories for Discussion. This will allow for a discussion to determine the consensus for the name. You can do this by following the instructions here: WP:CFD#HOWTO. It will be closed or relisted after 1 week.
If you have any questions, let me know! Thanks, echidnaLives - talk - edits 05:03, 21 December 2022 (UTC).

Thanks for explaining, I've added a group renaming tag (noticed there's a given name category too), could you see if the changes I've made are right please? I'm not that confident they are:

  • Category:Surnames of Anglo-Saxon origin
  • Category:Given names of Anglo-Saxon origin

@Akhil Kazhakuttom Do you have a question? echidnaLives - talk - edits 08:32, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Reverting your revert for the third time triggering the Three Revert Rule. Reporting harassment to Administration so they can give you a Level Three warning. 104.218.36.228 (talk) 12:15, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Ok then. Maybe you should find out what the three revert rule is first, more specifically the three revert part? echidnaLives - talk - edits 12:17, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Charley Pride

Adding back in his work on Tom Sawyer. Appropriate links to Wikipedia articles about the film and specifically the song were included in the sentence.

Pride also lent his signature sound to the main title (River Song) from the 1973 Reader's Digest presentation of a United Artists movie musical Tom Sawyer which garnered him an Oscar nomination.

If tha material is deleted again it will be added back again and reported to administration under Three Revert Rule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.218.36.228 (talkcontribs) Thanks for playing.

You need to add a reliable source. See WP:CITE. Do not threaten me with the three revert rule. I have only reverted on the page once. echidnaLives - talk - edits 01:26, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
