Can you tell me if this deleted article was about the artist who did some work on Call of Cthulhu? BOZ (talk) 15:47, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

@BOZ: The entire content of the article was: "Did the arwork on the covers of the SPY HIGH books (SERIES ONE)". No sources or anything, just those few poorly formatted words. BD2412 T 15:53, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Gotcha, and thanks! BOZ (talk) 15:54, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gisozi (disambiguation)

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 Gisozi (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 which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or 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. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:22, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention.

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Add a Fact survey and thank you

Thank you for testing out the Add A Fact browser extension! This extension was developed as an experiment by the Future Audiences team at the Wikimedia Foundation to learn about new ways of contributing to Wikipedia from outside of our website/apps.

We are planning to wrap up this experiment this December, sunsetting the extension and publishing our findings on-wiki. We’d like to invite you to take part in an exit survey to tell us more about your experience of trying out the extension, and to share any ideas you have about how to support new ways of contributing to Wikipedia. The survey is anonymous (see the survey privacy statement) and should take about 10–15 minutes to complete.

You can take the Goole Forms survey here.

Kind regards, MPinchuk (WMF)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Southcote Junction

Please reconsider your close here. I respectfully disagree that "consensus is clear" given the even split between those supporting a keep and those arguing for a different outcome and the multiple evidence-free keep votes which refused to engage when I asked them for evidence. A relist would be better. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:22, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

@Trainsandotherthings: I have expanded on my close rationale. BD2412 T 01:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I personally disagree, but the expanded rationale is at least reasonable so I will leave things at that. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:34, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Redirects

Hello, BD2412,

You are a page-making machine! But I have a question for you. When you are creating redirects, who do they first show up as broken redirects like here? I get a slew of broken redirects that show up on my broken redirect Quarry query. I realize that you quickly fix them but I'm just curious why they are initially broken when you create them. Thank you for any insight into the process you can provide. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:11, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Liz: I feel like we have had this conversation before, but maybe it was with someone else. I have a two step process to make these sortname redirects with AWB, the first being to create the page by substituting the page name of the redirect target, and the second being to remove the part of the page name that is superfluous to the redirect. The should only exist as broken links for a few minutes. BD2412 T 02:15, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Not an IP

User talk:3.14159265358pi ain't an IP talk page. It may look like one at very first glance but it's not. If you're using regex, your regex needs to be much more precise and accurate as even the slightest format changes can disqualify a string from being a valid IP address.
