[edit]

This article has great references and is one of the biggest music licensing and stock footage companies in the world. In addition, they are an Israeli startup. I think the article is being attacked in AFD and would like some help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.153.142.52 (talk) 05:59, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deceased Wikipedian and member of ARS: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2023-07-17/Obituary. -- GreenC 11:10, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He was active during the earliest days of ARS. His first contribution was in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cope Truss and Wikipedia:Article_Rescue_Squadron_–_Rescue_list/Archive_1#Cope_Truss. -- GreenC 11:15, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't know him, but RIP.★Trekker (talk) 18:54, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"You got to worry about deletionists," he warned. -- GreenC 00:59, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I only just saw the sad news and came here to share but find that GreenC has taken care of it. I met David when he came to London for the Wikimania in 2014 and was impressed by his enthusiasm and good nature. He gave me one of his trademark Wikipedia Editor caps which I wore to many editathons but it went astray at a WikiData event in Cambridge and so I need a replacement. Perhaps we should get some ARS merchandise made now? Andrew🐉(talk) 21:24, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warning, it looks like the page moving of Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Rescue list broke subscription may have broken subscription to the page

[edit]
Tracked in Phabricator
Task T373543

Hi, Just a word of warning as I just noticed that I suddenly wasn't subscribed to the rescue list at Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Rescue list anymore after the recent move by @Ammarpad and @Fram. I'm not sure if there is anything an admin could do to bulk restore the subscriptions since the users deleted the original page? Raladic (talk) 15:22, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Raladic, the original page wasn't deleted par se, it's now a redirect, see Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron – Rescue list. I think the Topic subscription is supposed to work with page moves. – Ammarpad (talk) 15:30, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It might for talk pages, but the rescue list is a project page and hence my warning that my action bar suddenly had "Subscribe" instead of "Unsubscribe" when I navigated to it this morning. Raladic (talk) 15:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh and actually, I can see that I am still subscribed to the page that is now a redirect at Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron – Rescue list - so yeah I don't quite know what happened there, but I think it might be that project page subscriptions don't move over in a page move but are hard linked to the page title? Raladic (talk) 15:34, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Raladic, Ammarpad, and CFA: I filed T373543. --Ahecht (TALK

Thank you @Ahecht. – Ammarpad (talk) 18:58, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tentative ARS candidates from AFC backlog

[edit]

These 12 pages were culled from yesterday's unassessed AFC backlog; from the moment of this writing, they may not be long for Wikipedia in the next how many weeks unless some action is taken. After I spent countless days grading hundreds and hundreds of articles in an ambitious, thankless one-man task--a few of which were never attended to since the early 2010s--it's time we finally discussed their chances for a change before it's too soon.

At press time, two in the backlog--Nathaniel Jenkins and Prateek Raj, both BLPs--are under scrutiny at AFD; no further comments on those. Anyway, on with the chaff we found within the wheat--listed alphabetically. (All have been tagged for {{notability}} unless otherwise noted; tag dates, and source-hunting links, are provided next to their titles.)

As an eventualist/incrementalist, I may be a bit sorry if they end up delisted. But these topics, diverse as they may be, do matter to someone, somewhere. So as it stands, wishing those willing to save those topics good luck--and thanks to the AFC reviewers/participants alike for all your hard work. (Feel free to leave me talk-page feedback.)

Maybe it's time I, an AFC drafter myself, took brief breaks from WP as other off-site commitments compete for my time and attention. All that grading was already overwhelming to begin with...

    Oppose, WP:CVU is a wikiproject without wikiproject in the name, and it doesn't need to be changed. Just because it's a wikiproject doesn't mean its name has to say it's one. TheWikipedetalk 18:01, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As a long time "member" I have concerns, per my comments above. If other members want to do it, let's all agree and just do it, no RM required. Otherwise it feels forced. -- GreenC 21:31, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
