Could you please stop removing my entry, do you have a bias?

necrophilia is described as having a sexual fascination with corpses. The quote I provided says he wants to "f**k her dead body". His fascination to write this is quite famous now and a part of history. If you read other content in the necrophilia sections this belongs here by definition Unless you have a heavy bias towards this celebrity and don't think necrophilia of women is necrophilia, could you stop removing my entry. Injusticewtf (talk) 19:52, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Injusticewtf, I only removed it the first time and requested you add a reference, since that is a controversial issue regarding a living person (see WP:BLP). Any removals after that were done by other editors, and I suggest you discuss this with them. Also, please assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Stating Unless you have a heavy bias towards this celebrity and don't think necrophilia of women is necrophilia is highly inappropriate. People are probably concerned about the WP:BLP policy, which sets a high standard for stating negative things about living people. Please discuss the deletions with them, collegially.

I also note that your edit has been reverted by three different people. Open up a discussion on Talk:Incidents of necrophilia if you feel that your addition is needed, as repeated edits that keep on getting reverted also may be edit warring, which is not permitted. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 01:02, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator Elections: Candidate instructions

Administrator Elections | Instructions for candidates

Thank you for choosing to run in the October 2024 administrator elections. This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

October 15–21: SecurePoll setup phase
October 22–24: Discussion phase
October 25–31: SecurePoll voting phase
November 1–?: Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase.

The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a request for adminship (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RfA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("'crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation as a candidate, and best of luck.

You're receiving this message because you are a candidate in the October 2024 administrator elections.

Our Admin Election Test

Hello there. As we're preparing to move from one stage to the next, this is just a quick note from one member of the test group to another, wishing you well in the process of this new alternative to RfA. It seems that there are more of us in this group than some in the community anticipated, so i hope that doesn't make the experience any the worse for all of us. Whatever our individual results, i thank you, along with the rest, for stepping up and testing this process; happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 07:11, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Congratulations!

On your election as a new admin! Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:52, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for proving that the new Admin elections process works! Enjoy the shirt. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the shirt. I take a medium.

I'm shocked at how few people passed the 70% support level. There's a number of those who didn't pass who would make fine admins, in my opinion. Be interested in some retrospective analysis of this new process. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
congrats! Yeah, the outcome was kind of unexpected, but I'm just glad that my vote didn't go to waste with you. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:50, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Belated congratulations from me, but speaking of this, it's great having my revdel requests be handled so quickly. Thanks for jumping right in! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 21:36, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! That was my primary goal in becoming an admin, improving responsiveness. I wish all the copyright revdels were so easy. I just punted one revdel request as being way beyond my paygrade: Wikipedia_talk:Copyright_problems#Ruben_I_complex_copyvio_case.

And thanks for the thanks on the edit. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:42, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I may not be able to offer you the baton, but I hope you can savour these bâtonnets as you study all the new admin buttons! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 21:47, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A baton for you!

	The new admin baton
	SilverLocust has passed the baton to me and, after a few moments of enjoyment, I am passing it on to you! Congrats on winning your election and make sure to pass a baton on to the next admin once you're done! Sincerely, ThadeusOfNazereth :)

What was the content?

Rsjaffe talk contribs deleted page Improbable Fables, or a Jorney to the Center of the Earth

Please in the future don't do such single-handed deletions without notifying the page editors. It was wikilinked, hence there was some purpose. A typo in the title must be handled more cleverly. People make typos all the time.

Now, what was the content of the page ? --Altenmann >talk 01:13, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted Improbable Fables, or a Jorney to the Center of the Earth, which was not an article, rather a redirect to Improbable Fables, or a Journey to the Center of the Earth at the request of the person who originally made the misspelling. The redirect occurred because the author originally misspelled the title, then moved it to the correct title, but left behind an implausible misspelled redirect that should be deleted.

I didn't delete any content. I should, however, have fixed the spelling on any incoming links to point to the correct one. Was this an incoming link? — rsjaffe 🗣️ 01:22, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When you are deleting a page, you have to fix the links that you have broken. It is good that only one page was affected. But what if you delete a page that links to a dozen of other ones? Now can people possibly know what was correct title? They will probably get rid of the redlink and the information is lost. --Altenmann >talk 01:29, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 01:40, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Just to let you know a user that you blocked is continuing to abuse their own talk page so you might want to remove that from them.

Thanks - TLJ7863 (talk) 08:42, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jay Hopson

Sophie1043 has reintroduced the copyright violation on Jay Hopson. They seem to be a single-purpose account; there's an entirely separate issue with them edit-warring to reinsert non-neutral language and they're never used a talk page. I'm involved or I'd consider a block. Mackensen (talk) 02:23, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked and rev-del'd. I also think there's some competence issue as they keep on reintroducing the old rev-del request template in their edits. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:30, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, much appreciated. It's not the last college football coach article that I'd expect that kind of behavior, but pretty close. Mackensen (talk) 03:01, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your deletion of Talk:Hyperbole/Archives/2013

I simply wanted to let you know that Talk:Hyperbole/Archives/2013 is the 2013 archive for the talk page of Hyperbole, as opposed to the talk page for the deleted Hyperbole/Archives/2013. I ask that you undelete it. JJP_{Mas_ter} (she/they) 03:32, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I’ve undeleted it. I’m trying to track down who requested deletion so they know, too, but am currently unable to do so. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 05:48, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure it was deleted automatically when you deleted Hyperbole/Archives/2013 with Twinkle. I was the one who {{db-error}} tagged that page, but you G7'd it, meaning that it presumably was blanked by its author first. JJP_{Mas_ter} (she/they) 10:48, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block notice removed

Hi! I noticed that a recently blocked user removed their notice, is that allowed whilst it's still active? I've seen it once or twice before and thought that was a no-no? Blue-Sonnet (talk) 09:21, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Blue-Sonnet (talk page watcher) (Non-administrator comment) I also thought that was a "no-no." However, I can't seem to find the policy to back that up. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 19:56, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can't remove declined block appeals, but you can remove block notices. Wikipedia:User pages#Removal of comments, notices, and warnings — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:01, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 20:05, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification also, I shall endeavour to never get blocked and have the opportunity to put that into practice! Blue-Sonnet (talk) 04:59, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you declined my Wikipedia Article. Please help

I think you declined my article, I just wanted to know why?

I'm doing this article as a part of my task from my employer. It's totally a work not just a paid-to-create article.

Please help me out.

This is my Article. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ruelsky311/sandbox/Justin_C_McMillion

Hoping for a positive response. God bless. Ruelsky311 (talk) 05:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ruelsky311 (talk page watcher) I just looked at the page history of the draft, and it looks like Rsjaffe just moved the draft from your userpage to a sandbox. There was no decline involved.

I realize that you probably weren't specifically hired to write this article. However, according to the term of use of Wikipedia, you are still what's called a 'paid editor,' and need to disclose that on your user page. You can read more here, here, and here. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 06:19, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, will my draft be flagged? do you think it will be approved to be posted here on wikipedia? Ruelsky311 (talk) 12:20, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ruelsky311 Your draft might be flagged with {{COI}}, yes. You did declare a conflict of interest when initiating the conversation. Not sure if or when the draft will be posted. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 13:41, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of ballinagar gaa

you deleted my page Ballinagar Gaa could you undelete the page or give me access to view a copy of the deleted page so i can see what the issues were that caused it to be deleted Budisgood (talk) 20:09, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was a copyright violation of https://www.offalyexpress.ie/news/local-news/953729/the-man-behind-the-wire-ballinagar-s-magical-year-an-inspiration-to-all-small-clubs-in-offaly.html , where there wasn't sufficient text left after removing the violation for there to be a viable page. Your edits at the beginning were copies of the article in this link. I can provide you a fragment that doesn't have copyvio issues. I have moved it to Draft:Ballinagar_GAA. Do not copy text when writing an article. See the information on copyright that was left on your page. If you have more questions, feel free to ask me or others on Wikipedia. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:23, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CSD G3

Hi Rsjeffe, I don't see how User:Sydney ham/sandbox falls under G3. It was very clearly a test page, and at a sandbox, where new users are expected to create test pages. CMD (talk) 05:21, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because it was submitted for review under articles for creation. Submitting a nonsense article was the problem. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 05:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Testing the AfC system is not vandalism. Expecting a new user to understand that experimenting in their sandbox is not okay in specific cases is a very high bar, and that bar is still not WP:VANDALISM. CMD (talk) 05:34, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I see your point that it was user experimenting. I’ll put it back but remove the article submission header. Thanks. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 05:39, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And I have applied for AfC, to maybe help chip into the backlog such tests cause. CMD (talk) 05:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Nikita Romanov

The article Nikita Romanov has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved 15 years. Much of this essay makes no sense.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
