Reviewing others' drafts

[edit]

Hello, I'm noticing that you're on the AFC reviewer list yet regularly get your own draft submissions declined... That's pretty concerning; normally being a reviewer means your grasp of notability criteria is supposed to be rock solid. Can you explain why your drafts may be getting declined so frequently? grapesurgeon (talk) 01:04, 7 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Grapesurgeon I was lurking around and I wondered the same thing. I saw at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Showcase that @Wikiman2230 accepted 2009_Aerolift_Ilyushin_Il-76_crash... aren't those supposed to be the "best" new articles? That article might be good, but yes, there are a bunch of decline notices here as you say. David10244 (talk) 04:10, 13 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
@David10244 may be best to open a discussion about review rights for wikiman; concerning and hasn't improved grapesurgeon (talk) 11:13, 13 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Grapesurgeon I would prefer that you do that, if possible--I'll soon be away from WP for a couple of weeks. David10244 (talk) 04:22, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Wikiman2230 Please acknowledge this discussion. Can you voluntarily stop reviewing articles at AFC for now? I may ask others at AFC to review your review record depending on how this discussion goes.
The fact that you've had so many misses so far is concerning; you shouldn't be making this many mistakes at understanding notability criteria. grapesurgeon (talk) 00:31, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Grapesurgeon Alright I'll take a break for now. I already acknowledgeed this discussion anyways, yet I didn't say anything because I didn't wanna get blocked. Wikiman (Talk) 00:39, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

BLAR notice

[edit]

Hi there. While reviewing new pages, I noticed that a page you created, Michael E. Pastor, does not appear to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines as a standalone article. As an alternative to deletion, I've redirected it to People v. Murray. If you disagree, feel free to revert my redirect and we can proceed to a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. (If you reply to me here, please ping me as I am not watching this page.) Thanks! Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:57, 10 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:BFDI (disambiguation)

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:BFDI (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is:

  • a disambiguation page with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" which lists only one extant Wikipedia page (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • a disambiguation page that lists zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" whose target is neither a disambiguation page nor page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Cedarous82 (talk) 20:14, 10 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi there!

[edit]
Hi Wikiman2230, I have unfortunately had to suppress some of your edits because they reveal too much personally identifiable information about you. We have a policy of protecting editors' safety by hiding such information if they share it. I'm really sorry about having to suppress your edits, and I know it's annoying, but it's for the best. Please don't re-add the information. For some useful information on privacy and safety, you can take a look at Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors and Wikipedia:On privacy, confidentiality and discretion. Thanks, and sorry for messing about with your pages! TonyBallioni (talk) 23:40, 17 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Okay: I’ll put it this way: do not restore the content I removed from your user page or I will block you. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:47, 17 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Dang man. Why so harsh Wikiman (Talk) 23:48, 17 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Because you restore it after I removed it. Just don’t put it back in and we’re all good here. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:50, 17 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Edit warring

[edit]

Stop icon You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war, according to the reverts you've made to Church of Scientology. This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected to collaborate with others, avoid editing disruptively, and try to reach a consensus – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.

Important points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive behavior – regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.

You need to discuss the disagreement on the article's talk page and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution if discussions reach an impasse. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to engage in edit warring, you may be blocked from editing.

10003 Caryhuang

[edit]

Hey mate, I think I have an archive of your deleted draft, 10003 Caryhuang.

If you’re interested, I can give you the source code.

Good day.

PancakeGuy20 (talk) 21:03, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

@PancakeGuy20 Sure you can send it over. Wikiman (Talk) 21:10, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Alright, I’ll send it here:
PancakeGuy20 (talk) 21:11, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
@PancakeGuy20 Thanks. I'm on mobile, so it looks a bit strange with the formatting. But thanks anyways Wikiman (Talk) 21:14, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
No problem, hope this makes up for getting your page deleted. PancakeGuy20 (talk) 21:17, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
It's more likely the "looks a bit strange" is from the indenting of things that don't work when indented (section headers), or don't like to be indented (afc templates, navboxes). I've removed the indents, and since this is sharing the source code and not a live draft, I've wrapped the whole thing in pre tags to deactivate the draft templates and have collapsed for ease of conversation. Apologies for the intrusion, hope you both have a happy weekend, Zinnober9 (talk) 06:09, 26 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Many thanks, have a nice Saturday!
