Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mr. Moseby (2nd nomination). Right now, 4 days after the last comment, it is at best a no-consensus. You did not provide any rationale why you think keep is better than nc. I strongly suggest relisting it for at least a week more. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:55, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Ok reopening… one second… Aasim 06:05, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

WP:DRV? Another editor also agreed with my interpretation of consensus. Thanks. Aasim

Hello. Thank you for your work at AFD. I notice that you closed the above discussion as keep. I do not believe this accurately reflects the consensus of the discussion, and have used my discretion under

Stifle Thanks for the heads up. I will proceed to undoing that close. Can you close that DRV as "overturned"? Aasim 14:04, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Looks like it was undone anyway. Thanks :) Aasim 14:05, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

It's all done. Stifle (talk) 15:24, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

You may already be aware, but closures like this are not necessary. AnomieBOT handles them automatically. See closer instructions. Wikiacc (¶) 00:22, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Cool! I saw some AnomieBOT closures, but I did not know all that needed to be done was "Delete".

For future reference (for me):

How to close FFD nominations as delete:

1. Become an admin
   .
2. Click "Delete".
3. The end.
4. Were you really expecting a step 4? Bots rule Wikipedia!

Reply tool

The Reply tool has been available as a Beta Feature at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The first analysis showed positive results.

• More than 300 editors used the Reply tool at these four Wikipedias. They posted more than 7,400 replies during the study period.
• Of the people who posted a comment with the Reply tool, about 70% of them used the tool multiple times. About 60% of them used it on multiple days.
• Comments from Wikipedia editors are positive. One said, أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة. ("I think the tool has a significant impact; it saves time to reply while the classic way is to move with a mouse to the Edit link to edit the section or the page which is generally far away from the comment. And the user reaches to the edit box so quickly to use the Reply tool.")[1]

The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August. Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages. If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF).

The Reply tool is still in active development. Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to customize the edit summary. (The default edit summary is "Reply".) A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode. This feature searches for usernames. Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to set its own preferred symbol for pinging editors. Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can define a preferred signature prefix in the page MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.

New requirements for user signatures

• The new requirements for custom user signatures began on 6 July 2020. If you try to create a custom signature that does not meet the requirements, you will get an error message.
• Existing custom signatures that do not meet the new requirements will be unaffected temporarily. Eventually, all custom signatures will need to meet the new requirements. You can check your signature and see lists of active editors whose custom signatures need to be corrected. Volunteers have been contacting editors who need to change their custom signatures. If you need to change your custom signature, then please read the help page.

Next: New discussion tool

Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the New Discussion Tool project page on your watchlist.

Hi, I had my edits removed from the article on Tryon, North Carolina and saw a message about an inappropriate link? I think there is a mistake as the link I added was to the following newspaper article (https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/life/2018/07/14/bainbridge-heres-how-tryon-carved-its-niche-mountain-resort/779679002/) about the history of the town. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.36.77.222 (talk) 03:57, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Apologies for the delayed response. That was a mistake. I should have bothered to check the source lol. Aasim 20:30, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Neither did I make any uncivil comment on Liverpool John Lennon Airport nor did I talk anywhere in all caps. I simply made a minor edit in accordance with our guidelines. So care to elaborate where your wrong allegation comes from? Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.174.161.254 (talk) 19:17, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

My mistake :\ But I think I want you to use the talk page of the article to discuss the issue. If you need help navigating Wikipedia, I am willing to provide assistance :) Aasim 19:22, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I got the following message from you:

Information icon Hello, I'm Awesome Aasim. I noticed that you recently removed content from Foxconn's Wisconsin plant without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Aasim 06:16, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

I removed the following text from the page: "As of April 2020 any buildings that Foxconn owns in Wisconsin are still completely empty."

I live in the city of Milwaukee and know there are employees in at least one building that Foxconn owns, specifically the 611 E Wisconsin Ave. building. Other buildings may be empty, but the removed statement is incorrect. You will find no sources claiming that "any buildings that Foxconn owns in Wisconsin are completely empty."

Additionally, the listed source (verge article) says "...scattered around Wisconsin were largely empty" which does not imply that all buildings were empty. "Largely empty" does not equate to "any buildings [...] are still completely empty." The edit summary for this change was "removed inaccurate statement. Some buildings have workers in them." which accurately reflects this.

More sources:

Foxconn pays $14.95 million for 611 Building - https://biztimes.com/foxconn-pays-14-95-million-for-611-building/. This implies ownership of a building which houses employees.

This video shows them producing masks in Mt Pleasant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ1mSFbfRcQ

I'm not trying to shill. I just have some on-the-ground knowledge about the operations and want to correct this specific misinformation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6000:B207:E198:0:0:0:C7F (talk) 02:23, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello,

A recent post was undone and I wasn't sure what to do in order to correct it. The post was intended to update some names and website locations on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Federal_Financial_Management .

Can you please advise the best approach to update this information so it is more current?

Thanks, Federaleditor (talk) 23:48, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

WP:COI. If you are working for the US federal government, which I assumed by your username, you have a conflict-of-interest. If you are not, let me know. Anyway, if you have a conflict-of-interest, you should propose edits on the talk page of the article that is related to you. You shouldn't directly edit articles that affect you, and you should disclose if you are being paid to edit. Aasim

The reliable source (Billboard) was already put in the article previously for that information, but the reference was not filled out any more than the url. We don’t have to roll back the change, but rather fill out the reference details! Cavernousknoll (talk) 19:18, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

BLP policy, contentious information about living people, including sexual orientation, must be backed up by reliable sources. It would be good if you found multiple reliable sources to cross reference your information. Once you have done that, feel free to readd the information in. Aasim
