Ummmm

Whatever “age-out” means, I don’t wanna know. I don’t wanna be banned from editing on Wikipedia. There were no capitals, no references, and it was too short. MrCoolGuy159 (talk) 16:29, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

@MrCoolGuy159: An abandoned draft is one that has not been edited for at least six months. They will usually be deleted.

When requesting deletion, you have to give a reason that meets a policy requirement. All the things you were complaining about are reasons a draft would not be accepted, but are not, in themselves, reasons for deletion. They can be fixed without deletion by adding and replacing what's there with better content. There's also a Miscellany for Deletion (or Discussion) process which you can propose for the draft. But speedy deletion is not an available option in this case. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:52, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Seriously

There are no refrences in Draft:Project zorgo and yet that one is going to stay on Wikipedia. Why can’t Draft:Steve Sherlock (music) stay too. MrCoolGuy159 (talk) 00:24, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

@MrCoolGuy159: The difference is the somewhat different rules that apply to biographies. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:08, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Jmcgnh/Archives/2018,

Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW

• Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.

If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.

We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.

With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)}18:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your help

Thank you for your help about sending messages to others. You understood exactly what I needed and answered my question.

Thanks for being so helpful at the Teahouse

@Jmcgnh: just dropped by to say thanks for all the help! Seahawk01 (talk) 06:58, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

@Seahawk01: You're very welcome! Just a note: it's unnecessary to ping a user when you are posting to their talk page. Other places, yes, but editors get notified automatically when someone else changes their user talk page. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:03, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Ah...good to know. So, by pinging you get notified twice? Sorry about that! Seahawk01 (talk) 08:31, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Nope. Just once. But perhaps thought it might save you some trouble. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:59, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
