== Help on Seeds of Hope Publisher Deletion? ==
== My I Ask Why You Started With Any Only Warning ==


Hi, earlier during the end of May I wrote a piece regarding a deleted articl that you responded to, regarding the [[User talk:Liz#C'mon....|deletion]] of Seeds of Hope Publishers. You wrote that I required a "Conflict of Interest" regarding the matter for consideration, and since that I haven't recieved a response regarding wether the article can be edited to prevent deletion, or at least so we can save the download the article information before deletion. Could you please tell me on whether either of these options are possible, or if the decision is still under consideration? Thank you, and any response is appreciated. [[User:Devangae200|Devangae200]] ([[User talk:Devangae200|talk]]) 04:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
I'm talking about [[User talk:2601:647:4800:A650:E186:E87B:947C:5B5|this IP talk page]]. They only had 2 edits (both vandalism), and were reverted. You were the first warning. Just wondering why did you start with an only warning? [[User:Me Da Wikipedian|Me Da Wikipedian]] ([[User talk:Me Da Wikipedian|talk]]) 00:18, 26 April 2024 (UTC)


:@[[User:Me Da Wikipedian|Me Da Wikipedian]] Happy to explain. The user was vandalizing by changing potentially controversial info in quick succession, which is why I did that.

::Devangae200's block popped up on my watchlist, because I warned them for copyright issues on the Seeds of Hope page. I went to check if there was anything I'd have to clean up and saw they'd posted here. Just to clarify, they weren't confused, and nor were they forumshopping. You did actually interact with them on Liz's talk page. I find that if I'm answering a lot of newbie questions on pages other than my or their talk, the [https://sigma.toolforge.org/editorinteract.py editor interaction tool] can be useful to figure out where.

== A barnstar for you! ==
==My User talk page==
Hello, TheTechie,


While I appreciate your help responding to queries on my User talk page while I'm busy with things in my off-wiki life, you respond A LOT. Every time you post a message there, I get a big bar across the top of my page telling me that someone has posted to my talk page. Sometimes, I literally can't go 5 minutes without a blaze of big bars notifying me about about new messages which is more distracting than if I took the time to respond myself.

So, please, don't be so quick to respond to every message I get. I mean, I appreciate that you are trying to help but this flood of talk page notifications interrupts my work. Maybe you could check on the page twice a day rather than as often as you are attending to it now. Sound good ?

:Hi Techie, I was about awarding you a Barnstar after seeing your good knowledge of Wiki policy especially on Liz's talk page. It damn shows you are in the way. A bit tip? Participate also in AFDs and see around project talks so that other editors will be impressed which I had done so far. You usually respond like a admin always, and like Liz told you, start creating more notable pages and do other things in this project. When you get a bit tired or somewhat, then, go watch talk pages and reply some if you can.

:@[[User:Myrealnamm|Myrealnamm]] Thanks for testing it out. I've been busy the last few weeks, so I'm just coming back. I went through a couple of bursts of productivity early on; though I haven't really decided on features. Maybe you can suggest some on the talk page, I'd be happy to take a look. Also, just out of curiosity, how did you find out about it? I don't remember advertising it anywhere, though I might not remember having been on Wikibreak. Thanks for the kind feedback.

*Hi TheTechie. Unfortunately, I have [[Special:Diff/1221653461|just closed your RfC]] early for a failure to follow [[WP:RFCBEFORE]]. I know this is probably disheartening to hear, and I don't want to discourage you. But the RfC encountered immediate and overwhelming negative feedback. I think that could have been avoided if the RfC had been better workshopped ahead of time. That could have allowed you to appropriately understand issues like Unified Login, or the other issues that editors raised. First raising and workshopping the issue so that you at least understand the issue better allows you to create a better RfC (i.e. one with a better, but rarely guaranteed, chance of success). I think any editor who has been around a while has inherently created an RfC that they look back and think "D'oh!" I know that I have created some not so great RfC's (for example, I created a sports RfC at one point...despite not knowing anything about sports...that went over pretty poorly). I hope this can be a learning moment, and I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news.

*::RfC talkpage? I'm not sure what you're referring to. If you mean [[WT:RFC]], that's probably not as helpful as a more well seen, or more topic specific, venue. One of the advantages of say asking at a place like the talk for the policy you're trying to change is that you'll get the page watchers of the policy, who have probably been involved in previous RfCs on the subject. They might still bristle at the idea, but they can at least usually give you a sense of key opposition arguments you will need to consider, or other unforseen issues. In my experience, they'll usually provide some helpful clarification to the RfC wording.

Good day [[User:TheTechie|thetechie@enwiki]], I add those sources from the internet. I also included all the archives. Thank you and looking forward for feedback [[User:Musican editor0420|Musican editor0420]] ([[User talk:Musican editor0420|talk]]) 18:29, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
<p>I was reading this AN [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Please block this IP]] which concerned me. Investigating further lead me to [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:TheTechie&diff=prev&oldid=1221638621] which concerned me even further. I don't do RC patrolling but as a [[WP:BLP/N]] regular I can say it is imperative if you are doing RC patrolling you need to at least briefly read what you are reverting. You should '''not''' revert solely based on tags. If the tags were sufficient to justify a revert we'd either use an edit filter to stop it, or a bot to do it for us. </p><p>When you are doing RC patrolling, that means we need you to be the human element. In this particular case, it should have been obvious to anyone familiar with our policies and guidelines that the speculation about appearing in some movie based solely on some similarities of [[WP:IMDB]] which isn't even an RS was unacceptable especially in a BLP. </p><p>Further as mentioned in the AN, whatever the tags said the IP did give an edit summary so saying it was 'unexplained' was wrong and unhelpful. For example, if you felt removal of the stuff besides the movie starting/IMDB sourced content, wasn't justified and wished to do a partial revert perhaps you could have linked to [[WP:PAYWALL]]. That which explains sources being behind a paywall or otherwise difficult to access is not by itself justification for removal and is a response to what the IP actually said in their edit summary. This would help both the IP you're reverting better understand our policies and guidelines; and experienced editors understand why you reverted. To be clear, I'm not convinced anything needed to be reverted here but it does seem more arguably and it does sound like the IP might be confused about our sourcing requirements. </p><p>Yes a partial revert and an edit summary which deals with the specific issues you feel justify a revert may take longer to do, but the need to clear any backlogs at RC is never more important than only doing reversions when justified and offering a fair explanation in edit summaries. </p><p>BTW you're free to just delete this if you wish as per [[WP:OWNTALK]], but do make sure that you change your approach to RC patrolling since otherwise you risk re-introducing BLP-violations as you did here. </p><p>[[User:Nil Einne|Nil Einne]] ([[User talk:Nil Einne|talk]]) 06:11, 2 May 2024 (UTC)</p>

Help on Seeds of Hope Publisher Deletion?

[edit]

Hi, earlier during the end of May I wrote a piece regarding a deleted articl that you responded to, regarding the deletion of Seeds of Hope Publishers. You wrote that I required a "Conflict of Interest" regarding the matter for consideration, and since that I haven't recieved a response regarding wether the article can be edited to prevent deletion, or at least so we can save the download the article information before deletion. Could you please tell me on whether either of these options are possible, or if the decision is still under consideration? Thank you, and any response is appreciated.

That was not me. I think you might have me confused with someone else. @Devangae200 thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:01, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And looking at your talk page, I haven't ever posted a message there, only a few others. Please discuss on their talk pages. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Devangae200's block popped up on my watchlist, because I warned them for copyright issues on the Seeds of Hope page. I went to check if there was anything I'd have to clean up and saw they'd posted here. Just to clarify, they weren't confused, and nor were they forumshopping. You did actually interact with them on Liz's talk page. I find that if I'm answering a lot of newbie questions on pages other than my or their talk, the editor interaction tool can be useful to figure out where. I hope you can find that useful!

Okay. @GreenLipstickLesbian, sorry, sometimes I just forget, I have a busy life anyways :) thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My User talk page

[edit]

Hello, TheTechie,

While I appreciate your help responding to queries on my User talk page while I'm busy with things in my off-wiki life, you respond A LOT. Every time you post a message there, I get a big bar across the top of my page telling me that someone has posted to my talk page. Sometimes, I literally can't go 5 minutes without a blaze of big bars notifying me about about new messages which is more distracting than if I took the time to respond myself.

So, please, don't be so quick to respond to every message I get. I mean, I appreciate that you are trying to help but this flood of talk page notifications interrupts my work. Maybe you could check on the page twice a day rather than as often as you are attending to it now. Sound good ? Thanks again. Liz Read! Talk! 00:01, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Liz,
I'll try my best, I remember that you were struggling in real life and wanted to help. I'll try to help there less; for some reason, I'm naturally attracted to your talk page (I watch other admins' too and am not replying there as much). Hope you're doing well. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 01:35, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Techie, I was about awarding you a Barnstar after seeing your good knowledge of Wiki policy especially on Liz's talk page. It damn shows you are in the way. A bit tip? Participate also in AFDs and see around project talks so that other editors will be impressed which I had done so far. You usually respond like a admin always, and like Liz told you, start creating more notable pages and do other things in this project. When you get a bit tired or somewhat, then, go watch talk pages and reply some if you can. Just know you're doing well. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 07:58, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking consensus on proposed policy

[edit]
Hey, TheTechie! I just wanted to invite you to check out my proposed policy that aims to curb targeted/harassing deletion nominations on Wikipedia. Feel free to participate in the discussion on the talk page as a consensus is being sought via RfC. Thank you!

TTUT

[edit]

TTUT is great! I just tested it in the testwiki. Quick question, are you planning to make it able to send user warnings? I see the Nuvola icons in the script but I'm not sure what it's for. Also, I'm going to send a feature request. Thanks for the tool-creation! =D Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 20:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Myrealnamm Thanks for testing it out. I've been busy the last few weeks, so I'm just coming back. I went through a couple of bursts of productivity early on; though I haven't really decided on features. Maybe you can suggest some on the talk page, I'd be happy to take a look. Also, just out of curiosity, how did you find out about it? I don't remember advertising it anywhere, though I might not remember having been on Wikibreak. Thanks for the kind feedback.
Also: as for the Nuvola icons, there was going to be a feature where one could make custom warnings with the Nuvola icons, though I haven't decided if I'm going to keep that.
Thanks, thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 17:13, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi TheTechie,
Thanks for your reply. I found your tool on your user page (through the link on the infobox, under TheTechie subpages). I submitted a feature request the other day on the talk page (I hope it's the right one). I'm exited to see this tool come out in full!
You're welcome, Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 17:37, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Myrealnamm No worries, just seeing it. Completely forgot what my userpage was in those 2 weeks 😅. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 17:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if you'd like to fork the script and request a merger, I'd be open to that too. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 17:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe later, it also works on other wikis if I add the "en" and "w" prefixes (as in my commons page on testwiki). Cheers, Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 17:40, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
