Picked you quasi-randomly from Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests. I think these two diffs should be suppressed as they appear to make defamatory claims about a random Italian person presumably still living: [1][2]. Mostly it's ridiculous nonsense, but the claims to have a mental age of only 6, and a few other bits, are probably suppressable.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:13, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey @SMcCandlish, I've taken care of it. PS. It's fine to leave requests like this on my talk page, but if you don't want to get more views on those revisions then sending an email is also fine :) Hey man im josh (talk) 13:11, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Oh, if you do go that route, which no pressure of course, just drop me a you've got mail notification on my talk page and I'll respond in general terms to that post or to the email directly. I also understand that leaving the request here gives an opportunity for other admins to see it and respond before I do, so there is that advantage to it. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Okey dokey. I don't come across too much of this sort of thing, and it's its bad enough I go the oversight route.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

I was told I needed to provide 2-3 sources which were reliable and independent of the subject to demonstrate notability. I have done so, what is the issue? this is about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Matti_Charlton ==

I don't have a lot of time right now and I don't typically edit much on the weekends, so you might be better off asking this at

WP:AFCHELP. Additionally, you'd be best to ask the person who most recently declined your submission, @WikiOriginal-9. The version that I declined back in October is drastically different and I don't have the time to look over this version of the page right now. Hey man im josh (talk

) 21:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

@Sports2021: There is not a policy or consensus that I've seen that says it's inappropriate to redirect an event to a more general page. Personally I don't believe the redirects are useless because if someone is looking for that event information then they'll find a relevant summary of the event at the target. I feel confident in saying that there's easily tens of thousands of these types of redirect, if not hundreds of thousands, and I think they serve a purpose. If you have a set of pages that you're interested in working on where you'd like yourself to be page creator then I'd be more than happy to G6 delete them for you. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:35, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

See also Template:R from subtopic, it's a redirect category specifically made for situations like this. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:37, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your time. I didn't say that's against the rules. I was actually asking if having redlinks (and not redirecting them) is against rule. I think it's fair to say that everybody who looks for Athletics at the 1951 Asian Games – Men's 10,000 metres will automatically check Athletics at the 1951 Asian Games.

Yes I know there are tons of those redirects and to be honest I was always disagreed with them, but they are mostly about future events, those pages will be created sooner or later. but when you do it for past events ... hmmm. unfortunately there is a chance they always remain a redirect. I absolutely don't care to be the page creator. I like them to remain redlinks mostly because that always reminds me and other wiki users that those pages should be created. let me tell you this way, I checked this page Sailing at the Asian Games and when I saw all previous games links are blue I got happy that someone had enough info to create them but then I realized they are just redirects. so I hope you accept this from me and delete them all. I hope I can create those pages someday soon though. Sports2021 (talk) 00:55, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

That's fair to disagree. How do you feel about pages in categories? When redirects are listed in categories they're listed in italics, which would make it obvious that the event title is currently a redirect. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:12, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes they are shown in italic which is at least better and helps if I have to go that rout to see which pages are not really created. but again my main point is about pages like this

Speaking of sailing, for example

this page is only linked to this and this. nobody is going to click on that redirect from anywhere else and whoever does it won't like it when is redirected to the same page he was already reading. it will be useless for him. or check this what's the point of redirecting a page to the only page linked to it. that's why I called it useless. again I'm not fluent in English so I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear but I hope you get my point.

Hi again, you just stopped answering my messages. should I consider it as a "no"? I don't think I was asking too much. Sports2021 (talk) 23:03, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

You are not being ignored. I'm working on something to address the issue. As mentioned, if you'd like to work on the pages I'll go ahead and G7 them myself. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:26, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

as I said before I don't want them to get deleted just to create them myself! who cares who is the page creator, (I don't care at least) I explained before why I think it's a bad idea, I want them to be deleted simply because I think those pages should stay red link if they are not created yet. now I noticed you did that to several other pages in other sports like Table tennis, Tennis, Soft tennis and Bowling too! now that's too much, I think I'm going to unlink them. it doesn't make sense to have a page like this where all "details" links are redirected back to the same page! Sports2021 (talk) 22:26, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

@Sports2021: I've actually asked someone to help me out with a script to semi automate the process. I believe the redirects are useful, but I also agree that circular redirects can be misleading. The goal of my request to them is to search for the specific template for summaries and check whether it is a redirect or not, and if so, comment out the summary.

Hello, sorry for bothering you.

The IP 72.133.196.210 keeps adding players who did not have notable careers to the "Notable undrafted players" section, I don't know if there is a way to block their edits, since it is quite annoying for me to have to remove those players every time it adds them.

It's been adding to all draft pages, not only in 2011. It adds literally every player, sometimes they don't even have official stats =/

P.S. Just to clarify I've left it messages on its talk page and in the edit summary, and yet it continues to add these players, I am sick of removing them repeatedly. Sergio Skol (talk) 06:10, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@

WT:NFL recently? I believe the issue was that there wasn't consensus as to what makes a player notable enough for inclusion on the list. Though I do agree with you that not every player who makes a roster should be included on the list. Hey man im josh (talk

Hi Josh. As always, hope all is well. It takes a few edits for me not being able to view before submitting. But I added a second NFC Player of the Week for Aidan Hutchinson, using the reference from the article. It now shows the same reference listed under two different numbers. Ref#'s 23 and 26. Should one be removed? I really didn't want to say in the edit summary that it's referenced already in the article. Hope I didn't make your eyes bleed! - Regards, John Bringingthewood (talk) 23:08, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

HA! Looks like I missed a congrats for the annual scoring leaders. BIG CONGRATULATIONS! That'll teach me not to spy on people. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:30, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Bringingthewood. Yessir! One more to do the list with several others in the pipeline.

As for the Hutch ref, I can check it out in the morning. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:50, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Fantastic work! At least if I check in on your page, I might actually learn something. Believe me, it wasn't for you to have to do extra work. I thought it might be a rule to not add the same reference twice etc. etc. No big deal. Enjoy your Thanksgiving if we don't catch up by then. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:57, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Bringingthewood: No no, you can absolutely reuse references, but that usually involves naming the reference so that you can just use the name in the second instance where you would use the full reference. I'll give you an example tomorrow when I'm on my PC. Hey man im josh (talk) 02:01, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Josh,

I just discovered that we have hundreds of drafts passing through the G13 soon lists that should not be deleted. Take, for example, Draft:William Kramer (athlete). It was draftified as part of this Village Pump decision but it was determined that these drafts on Olympic athletes should sit for at least 5 years before being eligible for G13 status. Unfortunately, they were not omitted from the SDZeroBot reports until a day or two ago so the lists from the next four days include these drafts on them even though they should not be deleted. But they do have a tag on the draft page that will let you know which ones should have a delayed deletion and they will also be categorized in Category:All drafts subject to special procedures.

I only became aware of this yesterday and I'm not sure how much you work you do in the G13 area these days but I just thought I'd give you a head's up. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:40, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh: Hello. Could I please request all the revisions of Shows of a Lost World prior to 2023 be deleted. I started the article in my sandbox from 2013 so it's got some irrelevant information there and it makes it look like I created a page for a 2023 event in 2013. Thanks in advance!

I'm not actually very good at evaluating these types of articles so I think your best bet would be to ask at

Hey, obviously you've got more Wiki experience than me so I let me start but saying I trust your judgement. However, I specifically looked for sources saying he was pronounced dead (implying by a doctor) and couldn't find any. The closest was a quote saying "I died out there", but there's a difference between a stopped heart and medically dead. If there are plenty of sources supporting your undo, could you please cite one for the article? Thanks, and appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia. Kodak11111 (talk) 05:38, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

@Kodak11111: My mistake, I thought I had added sources last night. Please never be afraid to ask for a source despite the difference in one's experience, it's a perfectly valid request. I've added two sources to 2022 NFL season. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:23, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

I clearly object to the removal of Eduardo Kau's page. Obviously the version I created now is different from the one created by previous users. If what you are doing refers to the deletion discussion, isn't the reference source I took different from the previous article? And this is clearly very careless in deleting because the discussion is not carried out on a new page. The Pict's (talk) 13:32, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

@The Pict's: The two versions are different, but they're essentially written the same way. In both versions the lead says their name, their date of birth, their nickname, and that they're a Brazilian footballer who is a defender. The only other section in both is the "club career" section, which is the same title in both. Both are only two sentences long with the older one simply mentioning when he debuted while your version only stated that he was signed in November of this year. The sources, in both versions, are inadequate to establish notability. The 2 sources used in your version were a passing mention and routine coverage of a possible free agent signing. If you would like, I can restore and move your version to draft space so that you may work on and expand it further? It's possible there's enough sources out there, but the version you created did not address the issues brought up at the AfD discussion. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

OK if it's like that. Quite an acceptable reason, thanks for the solution. The Pict's (talk) 13:44, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

@The Pict's: No problem. Just to be clear, would you like the version that you created to be restored and moved to draft space? Hey man im josh (talk) 13:46, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes, of course I agree. I will also ask other users for help to improve the quality. The Pict's (talk) 13:49, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Can I please know what should be done or how to work and make it eligible for Wiki. I have been doing India pages as part of the India Project. Kindly help. Is it possible to rectify the defects and create the page again as it affects my number of pages created.

@

Krishan Kumar (Athletics), which was a duplicate article of an article at Krishan Kumar (athlete)

. As a result, the page you created was redirected to the other page by a user named Wikishovel (this is standard procedure).

Krishan Kumar (athlete) was deleted as it was created by a blocked user who was evading their block, and, as a result, the redirects pointing to that page were also deleted. I can restore the version that you created and move it to Krishan Kumar (athlete), if you wish. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:21, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi - I wasn't aware of the 90 day rule for draftifying, and I'll try to bear that in mind in future. However in this case the page was a deleted PROD, which I restored to draft space and renamed after being contacted by email (See [3]). I'm not sure if the 90 day rule applies in that situation or not, but I'm not going to revert. — Voice of Clam (talk) 13:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Ohhh, sorry about that @Voice of Clam. Moving to draft space after restoring may absolutely appropriate and I could / should have checked the deletion log. The 90 day rule is more or less "has existed in main space consecutively for 90 days", which deleted articles that are restored wouldn't fit into. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:17, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

No problem. I'll leave it to your judgement whether to re-draftify or not. — Voice of Clam (talk) 13:22, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

I've self-reverted @Voice of Clam. Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for reaching out. This is a reminder to me to be a bit more thorough at times. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:24, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello. When you create song redirects, can you please check to see if there is a disambiguation page that lists other songs of that name and instead point "title (song)" redirects there? I've just repointed multiple song redirects with fairly common titles you've recently made as there are disambiguation pages that list multiple songs of those names. For example, A.B.C. (song) is far too generic a title to only refer to one song from one album, periods in between the letters or no. It would be a great help for future redirects others might make or readers who may not only be looking for a song by one specific artist. Thanks. Ss112 09:12, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Ss112, I actually do usually try to do this. The order of redirects I try are song name -> song name (song) -> song name (singer name song). If the title without disambiguation is a song, I usually won't make a redirect at the (song) disambiguation or I will point it to a dab page. With that said, I can't believe I was silly enough to make that redirect, that just makes me think of the song "ABC 123". I'll add song name (disambiguation) to my checklist as an extra measure though, just in case. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:18, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Should have also said this, but clearly I'm not doing a good enough job, so I'll slow down a bit as well. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:42, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

For a fan, you would think I would have noticed the awards and accomplishments section. It's only been there a week!! Like T. J. Watt .. I belong in concussion protocol. Thanks for all the work you did on his page. It only would have taken me 96 edits to do that. @@. Enjoy your week and thanks again for all that you do. Regards, John Bringingthewood (talk) 07:01, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

@Bringingthewood: Honestly I'm embarrassed I hadn't noticed earlier either. I like to add it for players who have a significant number of awards and/or records and I just happened to get curious about his and noticed it missing! Hey man im josh (talk) 13:07, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

I'll take the blame here. With all the work you did, I could never complain. I stay away from adding references, it's not a good practice, but it'll look like Jack the Ripper was editing the page. If you see me adding something on Wikipedia without a reference ... trust me, it's not out of laziness. Enjoy the rest of your week! Bringingthewood (talk) 02:20, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Josh. Whenever possible, could you let me know if this is normal practice? Deebo Samuels page looked fine after your last edit. This is regarding his 'NFL career statistics'. Somehow it doesn't look right having records and highs (just for a wide receiver). Didn't want to revert if this is a normal thing. Thank you, John Bringingthewood (talk) 06:08, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

I completely agree @Bringingthewood, we don't highlight position highs, we highlight league highs. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:14, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Sorry that this message started taking steroids. Hope there's an easy fix for this User_talk:MArruda1425. I never added photos, just corrected the image info. Aren't you glad that you're the club president? Bringingthewood (talk) 07:25, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Responded there as well! Hey man im josh (talk) 15:43, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi. It's been a while since I asked you about an RFA question you did not answer (User_talk:Hey_man_im_josh/Archive_10#Q22). I did not receive a sufficient answer to my previous question. I would be interested in hearing your answer to this. Willbb234 18:45, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

@Willbb234: This is the third time you've come to my talk page to ask about this. As previously mentioned, all questions, aside from the first 3, are optional. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:49, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

I don't think saying that the questions are optional is a sufficient answer to the question. You answered all of the previous questions, and so it doesn't seem that the questions being optional is the reason behind why this was not answered. Willbb234 19:12, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Willbb234, would you be satisfied if HMIJ were to say "I don't want to answer that question"? To me, that's strongly implied by the way they've left your prior inquiries unanswered. If they've no inclination to answer, and if there's no requirement that they do so, why press on? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:16, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

@Willbb234: What type of answer are you looking for here? I chose not to answer the final two questions at my RFA. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:19, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Leaving questions unanswered, especially if they were asked days before the end of the RFA, strikes me as odd. There is presumably a reason why you did not answer the question. Willbb234 19:26, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

@Willbb234: I'm not the first nor will I be the last. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:35, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

@Willbb234: I reverted your removal of Firefangledfeathers' comment. Please do not remove other editor's policy-compliant comments on user talk pages that are not your own, it's not appropriate to do so.

To follow up and try to wrap this conversation up, I think I've been fairly clear that I don't want to elaborate further than "I chose not to because they're optional". I'm sorry if that makes you unhappy, but that answer in of itself should be sufficient, even if it doesn't satisfy your curiosity. You're welcome back on my talk page anytime, but I'm not going into more detail than that. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:53, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey @WikiOriginal-9, thank you so much for this!!! I very much appreciate it :) Hey man im josh (talk) 17:22, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

hi josh, you just reviewed a redirect that i made. i also have some articles that i created that i am still waiting a long time for them to be reviewew. sorry if i am bothering you, but could you take a look at some of them including: Earthscraper, The Foundation for Harmony and Prosperity, and VIADER. That is it for now, but i am working on building lots of new pages and eventually will apply for the autopatrol right so that i do not need to ask anyone and can lessen the burden on the new page patrol people. Iljhgtn (talk) 17:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Iljhgtn, sorry for the late response, I typically don't edit on the weekends and have been catching up on things this morning. I'm sorry, but I don't patrol pages upon request because of the amount of requests I'd receive to do so if I did. Someone from the NPP team will take a look at their earliest convenience.

Hello @

WP:CSD G5 applies to creations by users evading a block or ban. While Yachty4000 is currently blocked, they do not appear to have been evading a block when they created Fireball World Championship back in December of 2020. Hey man im josh (talk

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying for me.

No problem. Please also consider changing your signature, as it's creating a new paragraph for your name underneath the text and then a new line for the date as well. This breaks most of the reply scripts that a lot of users use, which makes it more difficult for us to reply to you. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
