Thanks @B3251, my mistake. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:30, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

No problem, I can understand the confusion - the page may need to be templocked though; this is very recent news and it's likely that it'll be large news. B3251 (talk) 01:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I see you've reverted my edits to the 'Replaced' section of the rollercoaster. I added that it also replaced Timber Tug Boat and Lumber Jump, which were two family attractions - a rocking tug boat and drop ride respectively.

Please see here: https://www.themeparkjames.co.uk/theme-parks/europe/uk/thorpe-park/rides/lumber-jump/ "The ride was moved from Old Town to Amity in time for the start of the 2022 season to make way for Project Exodus" and https://www.themeparkjames.co.uk/theme-parks/europe/uk/thorpe-park/rides/timber-tug-boat/ "Timber Tug Boat closed at Thorpe Park at the end of the 2021 season to make way for the park's new rollercoaster Project Exodus".

Thank you. Robertrothman1 (talk) 23:05, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Was wondering if you saw this was created by a SOCK and edited by socks. The draft was declined and resubmitted without improvement prior to your acceptance. CNMall41 (talk) 20:24, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

@CNMall41 thanks for this. Didn’t know it was a sock. I accepted because I believed it let the subject specific notability guideline. The article itself does not seem to be problematic, but if it was created by a banned user I understand why you have nominated for SD. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:40, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Understood. I was just wondering as it had been declined and moved back to draft space after creator moved to mainspace (circumventing the AfC process - while they are not required to use AfC, the actions indicate a COI). The approval came after it was submitted with no improvements which caught my eye. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:51, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

@CNMall41 I certainly see the issue. The ban and motives behind the editor notwithstanding, on the merits of the article itself, it does seem to meet WP:N and WP:NTV (which, while an essay, I find persuasive and a good commonsense tool to assess an article on a TV series). It was on that basis that I approved. Do we always delete otherwise appropriate content when it is created by a banned user? I thought the purpose behind a G5 was to ensure crap created by socks or banned editors who are WP:NOTHERE could be quickly dealt with without having to go through a PROD or AFD. Either way, thanks for letting me know what I missed. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 23:57, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Just to be clear, I am not blaming you for anything here or questioning your ability as an AfC reviewer. Sorry if it came across that way. It was just a bump to let you know in case you missed something. You are correct that we review based on the merits. What I am pointing out is that it was moved back to draft space not only because of sock creation, but states because of sourcing. It was then resubmitted by an IP address (logged out sock) without improvement before it was approved. As far as the merits, I did not look deep into the notability. I always see a lot of unreliable sources in these creations but

WP:NFILM has a low bar so I am assuming your review on the merits is fine. --CNMall41 (talk

) 07:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

@CNMall41 no blame perceived at all! I am very glad you told me. You came across as just letting me know what happened/wanting to find out. Don’t worry, I know some people get all prickly but I don’t mind at all when someone asks me what’s up with something. What I meant was, do we automatically delete content made by banned editors? Always? Even if it’s ok. That’s what I mean. Reach out anytime. I’m glad you did. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 08:20, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

If it is in userspace, I normally recommend speedy for being created by blocked/banned user. These are 99.99999% UPE and don't feel the community should be doing their work for them by cleaning up the crap they post. It is completely up to you if you want to recommend speedy or not. Personally, I would have let this draft die in AfC as I am not one to do the work of a UPE if that makes sense. But, that is just me. If you see something that you feel is worth saving then have at it. --CNMall41 (talk) 08:24, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

The article

@L'OrfeoGrecojust pinging you that I have finally reached a place with internet access and I will be attending to this within the week. Thanks. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 10:11, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

@MaxnaCarta, feel no pressure; I appreciate your expressing your interest for the GA review, and I also value all the hard work you've already put into this article. Take your time. L'Orfeo^{Son io} 11:17, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

@L'OrfeoGreco that is so kind of you. I did not expect such a thorough review to be picked up during my holiday. You have left very good feedback, and it will take time to go through it all. I must be honest, it is possible I won't get to it all until I return early November. If you are happy to leave the review open until then, I am very happy to work through it sporadically. I also will understand if you close the review, as it will have been open for an entire month. I very much appreciate your efforts in writing feedback. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:48, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

@MaxnaCarta. Although in the past I have closed a review citing time as the reason, it won't be the case with this particular review, for I deeply appreciate your positive stance; Wikipedia editing is meant to be an enjoyable pastime, not a strict obligation, and thus your positive stance is all I need to keep the review open until you have the time to respond!

Besides, relaxation and good health should always be respected, in real life as well as in Wikipedia.

Wikifriendly, L'Orfeo^{Son io} 22:06, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

The article Mondelez v AMWU you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Mondelez v AMWU for comments about the article, and Talk:Mondelez v AMWU/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Congratulations, fellow Wikipedian; it was nice working with you on this one!

Till we "meet" again, L'Orfeo^{Son io} 20:48, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@L'OrfeoGreco you were such a pleasure to work with. Please let me know if you ever need a reviewer or assistance with a task. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 02:57, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

	Happy New Year!
	Hello MaxnaCarta: Did you know ... that back in 1885, Wikipedia editors wrote Good Articles with axes, hammers and chisels? Thank you for your contributions to this encyclopedia using 21st century technology. I hope you don't get any unnecessary blisters. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz(T) 20:29, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 00:29, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I have a question at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Letter to the American People about an Earwig check, I wanted to ask if you had run Earwig and a match was present when you did the review? If it wasn't present that would easily resolve my concern there but I see you haven't edited since December 23 so I wanted to leave you a talk page message in the hopes that you see this before Queue 6 hits the main page. Thanks. - Aoidh (talk) 16:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

@Aoidh absolutely. I run an Earwig for each hook review. Nothing sus came up at the time. If we are not certain, maybe the author could re-word to avoid any possible misperception? — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 23:38, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

I know sometimes Earwig will catch nothing on an initial check but by the time it's moving to queue suddenly something copied Wikipedia so there's a match; that you checked it and saw nothing at the time is all I need to put that matter to rest as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. - Aoidh (talk) 01:59, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

No worries @Aoidh. Have a lovely day. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 09:15, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

On 29 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fair Work Ombudsman v Quest South Perth, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that an Australian High Court case found a hotel chain to have used third-party contractors to avoid paying employees their required benefits? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fair Work Ombudsman v Quest South Perth. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Fair Work Ombudsman v Quest South Perth), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
