Intangible Cultural Heritage lists

Hi, I notice that none of the Intangible Cultural Heritage lists (e.g. France) has been taken to FL. Are you interested? The first one can be used by others as a template to emulate. Btw, you really should setup auto archiving for your talk page. Ping me if I can help with either of those. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:07, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, can you help me with auto archiving? I was doing it manually with moving the content but some time ago it messed up the archive titles. Is there a bot?

As for Intangible Cultural Heritage, yes, I was looking at it recently. Now there is already enough material to have proper lists on this front. I'll finish the WHS list for Brazil that I am currently working on, then I'll think of a good style for these lists :) Tone 10:14, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I setup auto-archiving for this page. Yes, there is a bot which does this. It should do its run in 24-48 hours. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks :) Tone 10:59, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

You must have noticed the edits that i made to the header of this page. Some of your archives have a space between the "Archive" and the number and some don't. Hopefully what I've done will fix the issue and allow the bot to archive at the right place in the future. If not, we'll have to move the older 4 archives to the new format. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:23, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Tone 07:27, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

I think it is all fixed now. Older sections will be moved to the newest archive. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:29, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Great, appreciated :) I was looking at the intangible heritage lists and there are some different options to go ahead with them. I'll need some more reading first. I didn't forget ;) Tone 10:35, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

James Earl Jones Closure

Hey, just wanted to pop over to discuss the JEJ blurb discussion closure. I understand, as an admin, it's within your discretion to rule that consensus will not form as you please, but I really can't help but think this just doesn't make any sense. From a quick look, there seem to have been 32 supports versus 15 opposes, and while I know we don't operate off a direct vote, I feel like closing a discussion with a better than 2:1 support:oppose ratio within 48 hours simply is way too prematurely quite frankly looks like a supervote. Not alleging intentional malfeasance or anything here, but I really think this discussion deserved more run. Thanks. DarkSide830 (talk) 01:40, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Feel free to reopen if you believe a strong consensus can be reached, no hard feelings on my side :) Tone 06:59, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Pats2017 (talk) 16:16, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

• It was a good close. It’s just a shame StarWars fanboys insist that everyone connected to the film needs a blurb. Some of those support rationales are just woeful, which puts the 32 support votes into much clearer context. - SchroCat (talk) 21:12, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Wrestling...

Hey Tone,

My name is Mark Bland and I'm a pro-wrestler from St. Louis that is going into the St. Louis Indepedent Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame. A couple of friends noted I should be featured on Wikipedia. I told them I was at one time. When they went to try and figure it out, they said the page was deleted years ago. They showed me the stuff and it had a link to talk to who deleted the page.

I read on your profile if you are curious what was up or think it was done improperly, shoot you a message on your page and lets talk. So I am reaching out personally to find out what happened and if there is any way to fix it.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. s968339 (talk) 19:35, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I checked the history of Mark Bland and I see it was deleted in 2005 (wow, that's a long time ago). I bet things have changed since and it is time for reassessment. Ideally, bios are not written by individuals themselves but by someone else. I suggest the article is first written in the WP:Draft space and then evaluated, if all checks, it can be moved to the main space. Hope that helps :) Tone 19:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
