2022 Summer Youth Olympics

I don't know what you did, but you seem to have thrown away the history of 2022 Summer Youth Olympics, The content of 2026 Summer Youth Olympics was a cut and paste from the 2022 page, but the 2022 history and attribution needs to be preserved in moving it to the 2026 destination. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:14, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

David Biddulph, I've undone the move, you shouldn't have requested for it at WP:RM/TR. Please request for it, by reading what is written here. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 16:27, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedies

Just a note that as a non-administrator you cannot decline speedies, you can, however, contest them. Praxidicae (talk) 12:33, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae, Thanks for the tip. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 12:37, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please send to draft

Hi I have a couple of new articles with no proper sources that I can’t send to draft, I guess because there’s still a draft there. If you could move them I’d be much obliged. They are Anaikatti and Licenciado Sancho López de Otálora. All the best Mccapra (talk) 16:47, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Julia wieniawa page deletion

Dear Sir, or Madam - why in the world did you delete this page? Julia Wieniawa is a very talented young Polish actress, very well known, just google her - I am sure that people would appreciate having a Wikipedia entry for Julia Wieniawa in English. I am also sure that sooner or later she will be listed on Wikipedia, so not sure why you deleted MY entry for her. I guess you know how to delete other people's work on Wikipedia, by following some obscure rules here, still in IMHO you are trying to feel important yourself by trying to promote your own importance on Wikipedia, anyway not sure if you will answer me, or delete this entry just as you deleted Julia Wieniawa's page Julieprus (talk) 11:55, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Julieprus, Hello and I hope you're having a nice weekend. I didn't delete your page, because I am not an admin. If you feel that the subject of your article is eligible for a Wikipedia article, you'll need to prove it by adding multiple reliable sources in the article. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 12:53, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I see so it was not you who deleted it - I only wish that they gave me more time than 2 seconds to enter more reliable sources - but hey such is life - Cheers!Julieprus (talk) 13:41, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Julieprus sorry about that, you could talk to the deleting admin and they could undelete and draftify it. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 13:48, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move request

Hi, could you be bold and merge this page into its parent article ? It's a pretty obvious case and had already been discussed here (with no response from the creator). Even larger Malayalam film articles such as Maheshinte Prathikaaram or Oppam don't have separate lists. 2409:4073:2118:9A07:1055:2C1F:84E6:3843 (talk) 11:02, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you can do it yourself by following the guidelines here. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 15:43, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ejemekwuru

Hi -

I submitted an update to the article about Ejemekwuru. Ejemekwuru is a community in Imo State, Nigeria and the original article was only 2 paragraphs and very little content about the community. My submission was a painstaking effort over many weeks to write a narrative that was as factual as possible, including some links. Not sure why the edit was immediately rolled back and replaced. I was part of the authors of the original 2 paragraphs but felt it was deserving to do more research and publish something worthy of an Encyclopedia. Confused at why it was rolled back.--Ejemekwuru Sons & Daughters in Diaspora (talk) 02:47, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ejemekwuru Sons & Daughters in Diaspora welcome to Wikipedia, first of all, your username is not allowed on Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia username policy.

Mainspace to draft

Hi I have three more articles I can’t move to draft because they’ve been cut and pasted. Kapıköy, Daily Shahbaz and Pouria Nouri. Many thanks Mccapra (talk) 18:04, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, what?

What made you think this was vandalism? The senators don't need to be named twice in each line. 2601:5C6:8081:35C0:5923:46B6:A772:CDE0 (talk) 23:58, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't see a real reason for removing the names. It's better the way it has been. —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 00:09, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, If you must know, that was my first day using Huggle, still getting around the tool. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 08:09, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MOSFILM guidelines recommend using the section heading "Critical response."

You have not explained why you feel it is necessary to ignore these guidelines, or why you would accuse someone of vandalism for following those guidelines.

I used a Talkback template asking you to reply to your comments on my talk page but you ignored it, I thought maybe it was accidental so I posted it a second time but you ignored that too. So instead of continuing the discussion you started I have to start another one here. Perhaps you are using an automated tool to help you with Rollbacks and have not checked the diff and article edit history? -- 109.79.69.228 (talk) 00:38, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

109.79.69.228, Apologies that your good faith edit were seen as vandalism. Critical response or critical reception are both still right according to WP:MOSFILM. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 00:48, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The guidelines clearly use Critical response. Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Film#Critical_response
Where are you getting the idea that Critical reception is recommended? What makes you think it is anything other than leftovers from older articles that haven't changed to use Critical response?
Also please check the edit history of the articles where you reverted me. In some cases the section heading was only recently changed from "Critical response" to "Critical reception" (you should be able to notice this by briefly looking at the page history and notice just from the edit summaries). -- 109.79.69.228 (talk) 01:02, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
109.79.69.228, I never said that critical reception is recommended. I only clarified that both are still right. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 01:05, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
One is recommended by the guidelines. The the other is not. They are not "both still right". It might not be an important change and the old version might be "acceptable" but is not the same as being the recommended or "right".
You haven't explained why you reverted to a version that is not what is recommended by the guidelines, and if you aren't going to let me follow the guidelines I'm going to need a better explanation. -- 109.79.69.228 (talk) 01:26, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
109.79.69.228, As I said, the revert was in error from my side and you're free to use "critical response". I won't revert you again. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 01:39, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Tolulope Arotile

On 11 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tolulope Arotile, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Tolulope Oluwatoyin Sarah Arotile, the first female combat helicopter pilot in the Nigerian Army, died in a freak car accident? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Tolulope Arotile), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Your NAC is plainly inappropriate, and should be reversed immediately. First, the discussion was controversial, requiring weighing the strengths of argument rather than simply counting votes, and taking BLP policy into account. A decision of this complexity requires an admin. Second, there was an active discussion about the reliability of sources, which had not been adequately developed and was essential to the outcome of the discussion -- and therefore should not have been prematurely curtailed. Third, there was no meaningful attempt to refute the argument that the subject himself was neither an independent nor a reliable source; since virtually all the content supporting notability was sourced to the subject, that compels deletion regardless of the !vote count. (Gleeanon's argument that evaluating sources for reliability is forbidden original research is nonsense, not policy-based, not reasonable, and, frankly, not advanced in good faith.

Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, Hello and welcome to my talk page, while assessing the consensus of the discussion, I noticed that the same article was nominated for deletion in June and closed with no consensus. This time, it was nominated for deletion again, and after assessing the discussion, the consensus is for a clear keep. If you still feel that my NAC is inappropriate or I've made a procedural misconception. You're welcome to ask for a review of my close at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Best, —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 20:32, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
