Hello, please stop the reverted of programs broadcast by Yey! and previously programs broadcast by Yey! when Gino March cause of WP:ANI 2001:4453:614:3400:2DCA:D155:ADC9:30EA (talk) 10:50, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

You'll need to provide WP:Reliable sources to WP:Verify your edits, thanks. Wikishovel (talk) 10:53, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

while the programs broadcast by Yey! and acquired programming was redirected by Gino March but Icarus58 was revert the edit of Gino cause of warning 2001:4453:614:3400:2DCA:D155:ADC9:30EA (talk) 11:03, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

You are of course free to report me at WP:ANI if you think I'm in breach of any Wikipedia policies. Wikishovel (talk) 11:03, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

In all honesty i could have done a lot better with my claims,however it is not a hoax for sure. because i’ve seen sources about this War & i have at least an excuse for this claim. Arxyium (talk) 22:50, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Wikishovel! I noticed your contributions on Vinzons Pilot Elementary School, I rediected on Vinzons Pilot High School because it's not passed on notability per WP:NSCHOOL and WP:GNG. See my revision 1269994951. Is it okay to redirect? I search that school, however I don't see anything about that school except for their Facebook page. I really don't know why it is possible vandalism on redirect lol. Royiswariii Talk! 12:41, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, no your redirect (with explanatory edit summary) was clearly not vandalism. The article creator may have misunderstood your redirect. But since the article creator has reverted the redirect, it will need to go to with proposed deletion or WP:AFD, as I can't find sufficient secondary coverage of the school to meet WP:GNG. Wikishovel (talk) 13:05, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

I've prodded it for now. Guess we'll see what happens. Wikishovel (talk) 14:33, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Wikishovel, I just saw your improvement on the newly created Tübingen school. Unfortunately I have created the page in place of a redirect. Therefore Is it possible to clean start the article? I have also made topic about this on the WP:Teahouse. Best. Xpander (talk) 19:48, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I've subscribed to that discussion at the Teahouse, and will help there if I can, thanks. Wikishovel (talk) 19:54, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Wikishovel! I'm consulting on this requesting move discussion of Talk:Jhoanna (singer) § Requested move 16 January 2025. I'm confident that should be move to "Jhoanna" because there is no disambiguation about Jhoanna, there is a Joanna but it is not associated on the name "Jhoanna". Howard the Duck insisting to oppose and redirect to Joanna because it was a alternative spelling, which is true. However, news outlets, fans and all materials on Bini are called "Jhoanna", and if we continue to insist and go to Joanna, it can be have a huge confusion and mislead to the readers, and I'm not an expert but, it can be confusion on Google algorithms too especially there is a Google Knowledge Panel for Jhoanna Robles. So, what do you think? It should be go to Jhoanna' or Joanna? Also, you can join on discussion, thank you! ROY is WAR Talk! 15:28, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, the discussion there seems to be going fine without my input. Wikishovel (talk) 06:57, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Wikishovel, just thought to inform you that you forgot to remove {{Donald Trump drafts}} after accepting Immigration policy of the second Donald Trump administration. While adding appropriate navboxes and templates might not be necessary after afc accepting, removing the drafts navbox is important. I have now removed it. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:35, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

So I did! Good catch, thanks. Wikishovel (talk) 12:37, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Please Don't delete the Trey Farley page. I added a source from Wayback Machine to help with his profile. He is a television Presenter and that page should not have to be deleted. 82.19.40.217 (talk) 14:48, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

You're welcome to create a new Draft:Trey Farley and submit it for review: please see Help:Your first article. Otherwise, you can ask for WP:Deletion review of the article, which was redirected following the deletion discussion a few months ago. Wikishovel (talk) 14:53, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

On the Wikipedia Talk page, I would like to address the allegation made against my account for using multiple accounts. This statement is entirely false. While I am new to Wikipedia, this should not be a basis for such accusations without evidence. I have been adhering to Wikipedia’s guidelines and contributing in good faith. I kindly request that baseless allegations be avoided, as they undermine the collaborative and respectful environment Wikipedia strives to maintain. Furthermore, I might be mistaken in editing and would love to seek your guidance for future edits. Thanks SamstackDMV (talk) 16:13, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi there! I wanted to let you know that I have revised your speedy deletion nomination for Albanian Boys Incorporated. You nominated this article as A7, G4, and G11. Given that the AFD for this topic was in 2006, G4 does not apply. As such, I have removed that tag, while leaving the others for another administrator to review. Thank you! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 18:55, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Tyler Luke Cunningham. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Mekomo (talk) 16:38, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Dear Wikishovel, I hope you’re doing well. I have recently submitted Draft:Charles Odii (DG SMEDAN) for review and would appreciate your assistance in reviewing and improving it. Charles Odii currently serves as the Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the Small Medium Enterprise Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in October 2023. If you have time, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or edits to ensure the article meets Wikipedia’s standards. If you think removing the bracketed “DG SMEDAN” from the title would be more appropriate, please feel free to do so. https://en.wikipedia.orghttps://wikious.com/en/Draft:Charles_Odii_(DG_SMEDAN) Thank you for your time and expertise.

Hello, Wikishovel. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:John Rapley, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 18:08, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi there. In December you participated in an AfD on Sanjay Sehgal. The article is now back and is again at AfD here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sanjay Sehgal (2nd nomination). I am notifying all participants in the prior discussion. Thanks! Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:00, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Wikishovel,

I was just working with some old draft articles, saw your username in the page history and realized that I haven't seen you around on the project in a few months. I hope you are okay and just busy with off-Wikipedia life. We'll be here when you get back your interest in editing and free time. Take care. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:35, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Still wondering if everything is okay on your end. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:03, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Wikishovel, I've been wondering the same thing... and I hope you're well. Your absence has been felt. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:18, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

@Liz and Hey man im josh: hello, and thank you for those kind words. I've actually been off ill, and in and out of hospital: it's a long, boring story. But I'm back home recuperating now, which of course means lots more time for editing, yay. Wikishovel (talk) 15:58, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

I was also wondering the same thing. I just saw you edit an AFC draft and I was like "Oh! Wikishovel is back!". Welcome indeed. Your absence was felt! Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 11:17, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

Well, aren't you people lovely. Thank you, it's a nice surprise to learn that not just one of you noticed, but three of you. Wikishovel (talk) 11:22, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

+1 here. Welcome back. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 11:24, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Wikishovel. This message concerns the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "John Rapley".

Drafts that go unedited for six months are eligible for deletion, in accordance with our draftspace policy, and this one has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission, and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you read this, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions here. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the draft so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 18:27, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi Wikishovel

I’m reaching out as I spotted you've previously edited the Investcorp page. I was wondering given you've edited the page before whether you would be interested in reviewing the further detail I have added to the Investcorp talk page?

For context, I work at Kekst CNC, a global communications agency that works with Investcorp to manage its communications. The agency has signed the Wikipedia:Statement on Wikipedia from participating communications firms, which means I understand rules around COI on the platform.

I would really appreciate your review of our suggested edits, and would be grateful if you consider adding some of the edits I’ve suggested to the page.

Any questions or feedback you have would be much appreciated too! AmeliaP KCNC (talk) 14:14, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

My name is Basant Kumar Shahi. I am interested in creating a Wikipedia article about myself.  

I understand that Wikipedia requires significant independent, reliable coverage of a subject before an article can be accepted.

Here is my official website with background information: https://www.basantshahi.com.np  

Could you please advise me on how to proceed within Wikipedia’s policies and whether the sources I have (news articles, interviews, etc.) might meet the notability requirements?

Thank you for your time and guidance.

Best regards,

WHAT? contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia??? Preventing the Mouse Trap page from being created is unfair and unjust, because it's an obscure legitimate avant-garde music genre. you all just have too normie tastes and ears to enjoy such music. And dont say ship like "its a meme genre" because on the Flex Entertainment Wiki page for Lil Staurt Little, it has the category "Serious Artists" so its serious. "contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia" my mother forking bass cheeks, you cant censor ship because its ship or you hate it. we all hate Hatler (at least i hope so) but we have an lengthy article for him, so Mouse trap should have an article even if you hate it or its "unlistenable". 92.40.215.51 (talk) 12:06, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi there, and thanks for all your help with NPP! I wanted to let you know that I've declined your G4 speedy deletion nomination of Imad Jomaa. In this case, the AfD was in 2019, and several sources provided were published since then, so the page is ineligible for G4. If you think Jomaa still fails Wikipedia's notability standards for biographies, feel free to nominate for deletion via AfD. Thanks again!

Hi Wikishovel, The Subject's Official Name is Payday Music Publishing. Would you please rename/move the article to that? I have mistakenly renamed the redirect to that and can't fix it. Nonstopable (talk) 10:28, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi Nonstopable, happy to help with this, but according to this source you cited, it's actually called "Payday Publishing". Their website uses both. So this might need to go to a page move discussion, to work out what the WP:COMMONNAME is, rather than the technically correct name. Wikishovel (talk) 10:32, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Israel and claims of supernatural warfare, which you previously marked as reviewed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted. The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Israel and claims of supernatural warfare until a consensus is reached, and you are welcomed to contribute to the discussion.SodiumBot (botop|talk) 10:31, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Wikishovel! I've come across many patrol edits by you whilst reviewing at NPP recently! Thank you for helping with the backlog! I don't know whether it is intentional or not, however I notice you don't mark the articles you patrol as reviewed. Just thought I would flag it! I can see you have been a new page reviewer for a while, so I am sure you are quite familiar with the page curation tool! Thank you! 11WB (talk) 18:16, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for that. I tend to focus on cleaning up promising pages, and let other reviewers decide whether they should be marked as reviewed. It's probably not an orthodox approach, but in a way, it feels like grading my own homework to tag a page I worked on as reviewed. When it's something super straightforward like a dab page, then yes, I will pretty consistently mark it as reviewed. Wikishovel (talk) 21:38, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply! That is definitely an interesting way to view it. As a new page reviewer, despite your feeling of it being like grading homework, the point of conducting these reviews is so that articles can be marked as such, this in turn allows them to be indexed on Google search and the original author notified that their article is approved for mainspace! 11WB (talk) 22:18, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Since you have previously edited Lydia Liebman, this is a courtesy notice that the page is currently at AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lydia Liebman. Thank you. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:48, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

...for the notice. Could you please help me create a disambiguation page between Pedro de Paz (writer) and Pedro de Paz (soldier)? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the process. Baal Nautes (talk) 22:33, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Happy to help, but as there are only two articles, a disambiguation page isn't really needed. Instead, I've put a WP:HATNOTE at the top of Pedro de Paz, pointing out the second article. Wikishovel (talk) 22:36, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

I see. How many similarly named articles are the minimum to create a disambiguation page? --Baal Nautes (talk) 22:42, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

There's no fixed minimum number. But a disambiguation page is normally created if we expect it to grow, to avoid maintaining a long string of hatnotes at the top of several pages. Are there other notable people called Pedro de Paz? Wikishovel (talk) 22:49, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

There is indeed another historical Spanish general named Pedro de Paz, but he has little notability and information about him is scarce, so I'm not planning to create an article. So, two Pedros de Paz for now. Baal Nautes (talk) 23:12, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi there! I wanted to let you know that I've declined your G4 speedy deletion nomination of Harry Sdraulig. In this case, the linked AfD occurred in 2006. Given the numerous changes that have occurred on Wikipedia in that time, as well as the information on the page discussing the year 2013, the article is ineligible for G4. If you think Sdraulig is still non-notable, feel free to renominate for deletion via AfD. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 13:32, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

@Significa liberdade: no, you're right, I missed the AFD date. I checked the Waybacked version of the article, and this was a single sentence about him winning something years ago. Sorry about that. Wikishovel (talk) 13:33, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello there. I'm writing to you about mammalian BAF complex page. The heading should be "Mammalian SWI/SNF (BAF) Complex" but I couldn't change it. WikiBar35 (talk) 16:06, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm happy to help with this. Since IANAB (I am not a biologist), let me ask: what's the WP:COMMONNAME for the complex, rather than the technically correct name? Wikishovel (talk) 16:42, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for helping.

The name of the complex, SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF), is the general term used across species (for more on this, please see the "History" section of the relevant page). SWI/SNF complexes are found in yeast, fruit flies, and mammalian cells. In mammals, however, the complex is commonly referred to as BAF, which stands for BRG1/BRM-associated factor.

Therefore, when we use the term BAF, we are specifically referring to the mammalian SWI/SNF complex. For this reason, the most appropriate heading would be:

"Mammalian SWI/SNF (BAF) Complex".

Currently, there is no term more widely accepted or commonly used than BAF to describe the mammalian form of the SWI/SNF complex. WikiBar35 (talk) 16:51, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. When I google for "Mammalian SWI/SNF (BAF) Complex", it seems to usually appear with a lowercase "c" for complex. This use of sentence case would also be consistent with Wikipedia's policy on using sentence case in article titles. So how about we move it to Mammalian SWI/SNF (BAF) complex? Wikishovel (talk) 16:58, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I think that works!! WikiBar35 (talk) 17:09, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Done! Thanks for the suggestion. Wikishovel (talk) 17:19, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello. What's your question? Wikishovel (talk) 14:14, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello Wikishovel!

I'm sorry to contact you as there probably is someone in particular I should contact for these kind of issues, but being kind of a newbie on Wikipedia (been editing for four months or so) I don't really know who to turn to. Anyways, recently I translated and adapted a lot of text from the Italian version of Wikipedia to expand and complete the article about Pieve Emanuele, currently classified as a stub. I was wondering who to ask for the "promotion" of the article into an higher class of the scale, since it is now almost complete and it has all the sources. In my opinion, its definitely not anymore a stub.

Is there any way you could help me?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the bother.

Dre DrefromItaly (talk) 18:55, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi Dre, there's a helpful guideline on this over at WP:STUBLENGTH. It's definitely OK to remove the stub tag from Pieve Emanuele. And thank you very much for expanding the article. Wikishovel (talk) 21:13, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

My pleasure! So I just remove myself in the edit page the "Stub" template or I have to do something more? DrefromItaly (talk) 21:54, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

That's it - you've done it correctly. Wikishovel (talk) 04:47, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

I see where you say there’s nothing online about him. I’m very confused. Why you’re stating this there’s numerous numerous articles interviews everywhere for multiple media sources from video to press.? please explain to me why you’re not seeing these sources or checking the sources listed why is this page being discriminated against this is really starting to put in the entire integrity of Wikipedia. Thank you . Learningmyway (talk) 05:01, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello. Yes, there are some articles online about him joining Saving Abel in June, but most of them are interviews, and interviews alone aren't the secondary coverage that Wikipedia's notability guidelines require for a separate article. Please have a read of WP:MUSICBIO: joining a notable band doesn't on its own doesn't make a musician notable. I couldn't find any significant, reliable, independent coverage of him, apart from his recent work with that band, but maybe you can? Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 05:18, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for responding , I really appreciate it.

I understand the concern about interviews, but in this case there’s more than just Q&As or announcement pieces. There are multiple independent articles and magazine features that go beyond that — Go Venue Magazine, Rock Documented, Rock News UK, and Ethereal Metalzine all published pieces that discuss Randy Arthur Webb’s background, performance, and role in Saving Abel from an editorial standpoint. They’re not connected to the band and count as independent secondary coverage.

Also, per WP:MUSICBIO (https://en.wikipedia.orghttps://wikious.com/en/WP:MUSICBIO), the subject meets the notability criteria as the lead vocalist of a multi-platinum, Billboard-charting act and through his earlier charting work with One Day Alive (their single “Bringing on the Pain” reached #13 on the SMR Active Rock chart).

These references and chart credits establish verifiable, independent coverage that goes beyond routine announcements. I’d like to kindly ask that the redirect be reconsidered or reviewed so the article can stand on its own again.

Thank you for your time . Learningmyway (talk) 05:24, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

You're very welcome. Let's keep this discussion in one place, maybe over at the article talk page is best. Wikishovel (talk) 05:25, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

The template is not necessary on the draft page that's being deleted and under what authority are you to tell me to "not delete it again"? Bhj867 (talk) 09:49, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

The template is certainly necessary, as the original declined draft was created by an anonymous editor, then copied and pasted to main space. Under what authority are you blanking the draft, moving it to main space, and removing the merge template from the copied article? Wikishovel (talk) 09:51, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Under the authority of the person who created it accidentally when I am already an established user. Check the IP they match. You seem to be confused and wanting to follow me around harrasing me. Example: you flagged another one of my articles for deletion with flimsy reasoning. Bhj867 (talk) 09:56, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

please respond to the original question. Do you have the power to ban me from wp? Are you an administrator? Yes or no. Bhj867 (talk) 10:00, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

No, and editors don't need to be administrators to revert disruptive editing. You're free to report me at WP:ANI if you think I've breached the letter or spirit of any Wikipedia policies. But watch out for the boomerang. Wikishovel (talk) 10:02, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Requesting to speedily delete an accidental unfinished draft, under my own IP address before logging in, is not "disruptive editing". Mistakes happen. I saw you stated the draft "wasn't qualified for speedy deletion". What's your reasoning for that, and under what authority if you're not an administrator? If you continue to follow me around, bark orders at me and flagging my articles for deletion when I have solid sources, I will absolutely report you to WP:ANI because I view that as targeted bullying. I'm putting the speedy deletion tag back on the draft that I created. An admin (which you are not) can verify the IP which I will put in the notes. I have been editing wiki articles since 2007. The functionality of the site may have changed a bit, but not so much as to where I will tolerate demands from random users. How's that for a boomerang. Bhj867 (talk) 10:13, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

You're welcome to add a db-author speedy tag to the draft, but please don't blank or move the draft again. Wikishovel (talk) 10:15, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

thank you. I will do that. Does your self proclaimed authority feel respected now? If you want to be an admin. Apply to be one. Have a good day.Bhj867 (talk) 10:22, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Actually, I'd rather have an arrow through my neck than be an admin, like most WP editors. That's why there's such a shortage of them. Wikishovel (talk) 10:25, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Good, because anyone who enjoys weilding power should never have it. Bhj867 (talk) 10:33, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Bren.d.o and Alpha Magazines you may be blocked from editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhj867 (talk • contribs)

1. don't assume my identity, you're wrong. 2. Are you threatening a public figure? You are the one on the fast track to being banned. Bhj867 (talk) 13:00, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Bhj867, its very clear there is no threatening happening here. All things considered, Wikishovel is probably warning you to prevent you from getting blocked, not to cause you to get blocked.

Hello, I think an English name Ultra Supreme Elder Lord is better than the pinyin name "Daode Tianzun" which is not so convenient for westerners. Can you consider making Ultra Supreme Elder Lord the main article and redirect "Daode_Tianzun" to it ? I am working on the article and will add references later.

Futhermore, Ultra Supreme Elder Lord (太上老君) and The Heavenly Lord of Way and Virtue (道德天尊) do not always carry a same meaning in Taoist theology, maybe it is necessary to explain them respectively. AlphaOmega999 (talk) 09:58, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

@AlphaOmega999: hello, and thanks for posting. Wikipedia doesn't allow two articles on the same topic, but if you think Ultra Supreme Elder Lord is a better title for the article, then you're welcome to propose renaming the existing article. It's a potentially controversial move, but that's OK: there are instructions on how to propose the change at Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. Please let me know if you have any questions about that process. Wikishovel (talk) 10:02, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for your reply.

In articles of other languages such as Chinese and Japanese, etc., they all use the name "太上老君" which literally means Ultra Supreme Elder Lord, rather than "Daode_Tianzun", so I think maybe using the English name Ultra Supreme Elder Lord is a better choice, and it is better for westerners' understanding. Could you help me to request renaming the article ? AlphaOmega999 (talk) 10:10, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

I'm happy to help you propose the move. Please post the exact text here that you'd like me to use when posting the request. Wikishovel (talk) 10:12, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi,

What text do you need ? explain the reason ? or contents of the article ? If you need reason, that is:

The English name Ultra Supreme Elder Lord which is the literal meaning of "太上老君" may be a better article name for westerners' understanding, rather than a pinyin name "Daode_Tianzun", which may confuse westerners if they don't know Mandarin pinyin. Moreover, Wikipedia articles in other languages such as Chinese and Japanese all use "太上老君" as their article names, which literally means Ultra Supreme Elder Lord. Furthermore, Ultra Supreme Elder Lord (太上老君) and The Heavenly Lord of Way and Virtue (道德天尊) do not always carry a same meaning in Taoist theology, maybe it is necessary to explain them respectively. Therefore, can we make "Ultra Supreme Elder Lord" the main article name and redirect "Daode_Tianzun" to it, or rename the article "Daode_Tianzun" to "Ultra Supreme Elder Lord" ? AlphaOmega999 (talk) 10:39, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I see you've added the proposed move template at the article's talk page, thanks. I made one small technical correction to the template, hope you don't mind. Wikishovel (talk) 11:15, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

You deleted this article without reference to me or waiting for a response. This is rather unwelcoming and discouraging of occasional contributors. The basis of deleting is meant to be that it is substantially similar to the deleted one. That seems not to be the case. I have submitted the draft for consideration, which seems to be the correct process. ~~~~ BallaratNation (talk) 12:15, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Just to explain, Wikishovel is not an administrator so they cannot delete pages, they can only request they are deleted. In this case, I declined the speedy deletion nomination because previously (now deleted) revisions of the article only cited YouTube; this one at least has a go at citing some third party sources. I'm still concerned about quality sourcing for biographies of living people, which is why I moved it to draft space so it can be worked on further. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:59, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I cited from Taoist scriptures, those are most authentic sources, why do you still think the article does not cite any sources ? AlphaOmega999 (talk) 11:26, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi, you've added helpful notes on the text from the Taoist scriptures, but you haven't provided any references yet for any of what's written. What's needed is secondary, independent sources. Would you like me to move the article to draft, while you develop it? Wikishovel (talk) 11:40, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

I have added references to other websites including an authentic Taoist website, is that ok ? AlphaOmega999 (talk) 11:44, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Wikishovel

I saw your recent comment regarding my submission for Saad Ur Rehman. I volunteer on Wiki on a side, I am a journalist and a researcher. This individual is a personality from Pakistan who recently has blown up the internet following his arrest, and based on Google Analysts, more then 20 million people have searched about him online and there are hundreds of independent sources online about him, and it clearly show's the subject is notable to have a Wikipedia article, and I volunteered to create it so that all the people searching about him, can land to his wiki to know about him and the ongoing issue ( the legal and arrest section ) since that is What Wikipedia is all about, gathering factual information and gathering it up so it helps individuals know everything at one place rather then scattering through different article's online and reading and second guessing what is true and what not.

I would like and appreciate if you could redo the article, I can say with full confidence that the subject is notable enough, and the article aligns with the Wiki Guidelines for Biographies of Living Individuals. ChronoTexts (talk) 18:11, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello! Since you added the Unreferenced template to my new article List of artists from Mecklenburg, I'd like to ask about the policy for lists. I'm of the general understanding that list articles do not require citations if the information on them is cited in the linked/listed articles, this seems to be pretty common on Wikipedia. In the same vein for example see: List of German artists, List of Russian artists, List of Guyanese artists; other such articles only list very few sources to a point where they are basically non-existent, examples in the same topic include: List of Latin American artists, List of artists from Lebanon. Most other lists, including those of political parties and people by nationality in general for example, seem to follow this same scheme.
Thus I'd like to ask: What is the policy on this? Is my assumption correct? And if not, there are probably hundreds of list articles with this issue. Frijfuhs (talk) 02:36, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello Frijfuhs, and thanks for starting that list. That's an excellent question, because you're right, there are many unsourced stand-alone list articles on Wikipedia. But as WP:LISTVERIFY notes, list articles must be reasonably referenced like any article on Wikipedia. I'd be happy to help you find sources for the Mecklenburg list, if you like. Wikishovel (talk) 02:42, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying and the quick reply! I'm sure I'll be able to find sources easily since they're (typically) cited on the linked page, I of course wouldn't mind if you want to help though :) Frijfuhs (talk) 02:47, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

I propose that the pages C-DAC Thiruvananthapuram and C-DAC Ahmedabad be merged into the main article Centre for Development of Advanced Computing. Reason: Both of these are regional centres of C-DAC and currently have very limited or no independent sources to establish notability per WP:GNG. The information they contain is primarily organizational and can be better presented within a new subsection (for example, “Centres”) in the main article. This will help consolidate redundant content, improve readability, and maintain encyclopedic structure without duplicating minor branch details. Bech07 (talk) 10:50, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, and thanks for your work on this. Yes, there are a few ways you could go about it. Once you think the draft is ready for publication:

• you could add at Talk:Beef Wellington a new post announcing that you've done a rewrite of the article at Draft:Beef Wellington, and invite interested editors to improve it before merge. WikiProject Food and drink would also be a good place to ask experienced editors for comment and help, perhaps by simply posting at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Food and drink.
• Or, you could Wikipedia:Be bold, overwrite the contents of the current article with the new draft, and use the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle to arrive at a WP:Consensus on the best possible version of the new edits.
• Alternatively, instead of a complete rewrite, you could incrementally change Beef Wellington a section at a time, using content from the new draft.

The new draft currently needs more work on the references, but it looks like you're already working on that now. If you're looking for any help on that, I'm happy to point you at how-tos and other resources. Looking forward to this with anticipation, as that's a favourite dish of mine for special occasions!

Well, one issue I saw is that a Thai public message board is being used as one source. Is that acceptable, generally? Also, I assume that by 1944 the Japanese Imperial Army Air Force was utilizing the Lampang Airfield and outfitting the base with Nate aircraft. Is it correct to identify Thailand as the belligerent, which was only a proxy for Japan? I guess the pilots were Thai nationality, so, that works in favor of saying "Thailand". -Speed Demyn (talk) 22:03, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

These all seem like good questions for the article's creator. My only involvement was to do a bit of basic cleanup, and add categories. Wikishovel (talk) 05:14, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello Speed,

Regarding the Thai public message board, I have researched this event and I also agree with your point. Since it's unreliable source. I replaced with a published book ISBN 978-616-422-074-4 write by Military History and Museum Division, Air Force Archives Department, Royal Thai Air Force.

Yes, Lampang Airfield is part of its logistical network in northern Thailand. However, On that day, the imperial Japanese Army Air Force was't involved on that day.The Combat on 11 November 1944 was conducted entirely by Royal Thai Air Force pilot fly Nate aircraft against U.S. Army Air Force.

Hi @Wikishovel! I’d really appreciate your thoughts on something involving the Skarsgård family article.

Originally, the page was moved to draftspace because it wasn’t ready for mainspace. Later, the same creator (TraTra1604) made a new version of the article directly in mainspace while the draft still existed. After that, another editor (BodhiHarp) redirected the draft to the new mainspace article without explaining why.

I believe the current article still isn’t ready for mainspace and it’s very short and barely sourced but I wanted a second opinion before requesting it be moved back to draft. Could you take a look and help assess whether redirecting it back to draft would be the right step, and whether BodhiHarp’s redirect was appropriate under AfC/Draft guidelines?

Thanks a lot for your time and help! Acrom12 (talk) 07:18, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I agree the article belongs in draft for development, but as far as I know, there's no Wikipedia policy that requires this, unless "draftify" was the outcome of an WP:AFD discussion. At best, the stub needs a lot of improvement, and at worst it might need to go to AFD if notability can't be shown. Wikishovel (talk) 07:25, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up @Wikishovel, that makes sense! I really appreciate you taking the time to look into it. I agree it still needs quite a bit of work, so I’ll keep an eye on it for now. If it doesn’t improve or show notability later on, I might take it to AfD. Thanks again for your help! Acrom12 (talk) 07:32, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Wikishovel. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible.

I already explained why in the template at Draft:Rajantheerthagiri, but you've removed the template. I've restored the template. I've also explained at your user talk page. Wikishovel (talk) 23:28, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

ok thanks how to directly write a new article in main page, as i dont need sandbox to guide me ? is there any way out Rajantheerthagiri (talk) 23:44, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Rajantheerthagiri was a copy of User:Rajantheerthagiri. That doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article. Please see Wikipedia:Notability (people) for guidelines on notability. Wikishovel (talk) 04:31, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello Wikishovel, this is not cited (yet) since I await approval from ]. In the template are many red items. Before trying to make them blue i made just 1, to see if that is agreeable. If so, I will properly cite it etc. I hope this is Ok. Cheers Harold Foppele (talk) 13:14, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello HF, please go ahead and add references, you don't need anyone's approval to improve an article. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 15:40, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

I understand, but since it is part of a template that he created and it has a lot of red items I would feel better if he agrees. Maybe he wanted them removed instead. So thats why :) I shall cite it anyway. Cheers Harold Foppele (talk) 16:54, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

I was confused by it too, and strongly suspect it's not supposed to exist at all since there's no evidence of any other "Taxon listed on X" categories that I can find — but since it's template-generated, and even more specifically generated by a template function that's being farmed out to a module, I had no idea how to make it go away, so I had to create it as a hidden category to get it off the redlinked category report. But then I got distracted by something else and forgot to follow up on asking for assistance at WP:VPT, so thanks for the reminder. I'll look after that now. Bearcat (talk) 14:52, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly, about a lack of anything close to adjacent categories. Thanks for your help with this. 15:41, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Just an FYI, it hasn't been fixed yet but VPT has identified the problem — the module actually wants to pass through categories for either flora or fauna listed on CITES Appendix II, but it decides which of those to apply based on a parameter that's missing from the box on Scottish wildcat, and thus fell back on taxon instead. So that's where the problem arose, hopefully it'll get fixed soon so we can delete the silly taxon category. Bearcat (talk) 16:19, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Aha, so at least we know what the problem is now. Thanks for chasing that up. Wikishovel (talk) 19:22, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello Wikishovel, thank you for reviewing my draft. I respectfully disagree with the characterization of my sources as "predatory journals."

The sources I provided include:

• ECO-Q Award documentation from the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) - an official professional body
• Digital preservation of award photographs in Zenodo (CERN) and Internet Archive
• Professional recognition from IGI Global, an established academic publisher
• Academic award from Emerald Publishing, a reputable publisher

However, I understand the draft may need stronger independent sources to establish notability. Could you please provide specific guidance on what types of sources would be acceptable to demonstrate notability in my field? Thank you for your assistance. Anastasios Moumtzoglou (talk) 16:40, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

When I last checked, about 54% were flagged up as predatory journals. I strongly suggest you let someone unconnected with you or your work edit your biography. They would need to consult Wikipedia's relevant guidelines for notability for what to include. Wikishovel (talk) 10:39, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello Wikishovel. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Battle of Vinland (1003) to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. CoconutOctopus talk 17:27, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Excuse me, I spent a lot of time putting this together why’d you delete it? That was the right information, Never do it again have I made myself any clear. Bathae (talk) 08:57, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

@Bathae: hello, and no you haven't made yourself clear, but I've checked your edit history to work out what you were talking about.

You tried to hijack a redirect, to create a new article. Any experienced editor would have reverted that. But you're warmly welcome to create a new draft article at Draft:Malchicks, and submit that for review. You might find it helpful to read Help:Your first article. Wikishovel (talk) 10:37, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello Wikishovel:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in December!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than half a month of outstanding reviews from the current 2+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 December 2025 through 31 December 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help!

Summary: The {{Promotional}} tag has been added to this article. I, User:Shuvomzr, have reviewed the content carefully. The article is written in a neutral, encyclopedic tone and does not contain promotional or advertising language. All information is factual and supported by reliable sources.

• I kindly request other editors to remove the {{Promotional}} tag, as it is not applicable to this article.
• Future edits should continue to maintain neutrality and follow Wikipedia guidelines.

Shuvomzr (talk) 23:29, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

You've removed the tag yourself, on an article you created yourself, but the article is still highly promotional. You've refused to respond to any of my warnings about this at your user talk page. Please stop removing the tag. Wikishovel (talk) 05:04, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your recent move of the page.

I wanted to clarify my intention: my goal was to create a separate article specifically about the vote chori/vote theft topic, rather than merging it into 2025 Indian electoral controversy

I understand your reasoning for the move, but I believe the subject may potentially warrant its own standalone article because:

• it is being discussed as a distinct concept/event,
• it may develop independently of the broader 2025 electoral issues,
• and separate coverage (if it continues) could justify a dedicated page.

Could you please advise whether it would be appropriate to create a draft at Draft:Vote chori and develop it there until enough reliable sources are available to move it to mainspace?

I appreciate your guidance and am happy to collaborate to meet Wikipedia's notability and sourcing requirements.

Thank you! Republic of Hindustan (talk) 19:28, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'd be happy to move that article to draft, if you want to develop it into a separate article. Shall I do that now? Wikishovel (talk) 19:35, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

@Wikishovel Yes, please. It would be great if you could move it to the draft space. I will continue developing it there with proper sourcing and structure. Thank you for your help! Republic of Hindustan (talk) 19:38, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Done. It's now at Draft:Vote Chori (controversy), with a button at the top to submit the draft when you think it's ready. Best of luck with the article. Wikishovel (talk) 19:57, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much for moving it to the draft space, @Wikishovel I really appreciate your help. I’ll continue developing Draft:Vote Chori (controversy) with reliable sources and proper structure, and will submit it to mainspace once it meets Wikipedia’s notability and sourcing requirements. Thanks again for your guidance and support! Republic of Hindustan (talk) 20:03, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Can you check again please Prasadpaturi (talk) 12:00, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, my dear @WikishovelI noticed that this page has been tagged for speedy deletion under G5. However, I don't see any clear indication on the page history showing that it was created by a banned or blocked user. Could you please clarify which edits or evidence this tag is based on? If there is a misunderstanding, I would appreciate guidance on how to proceed. Thank you.:( Khambhatwala (talk) 00:17, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

I think your contribution WikiProject Unreferenced Articles to Nov2025 drive is not counted as the hashtag in edit summary is missing. I am not sure how to add a hash tag to others, so pinging here... add #Nov25 so that the drive will have more numbers. Happy editing! Davidindia (talk) 06:24, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I joined the backlog drive then promptly forgot to use the hashtag in my edit summaries. Well it's nearly the end of the month, so I'll try to remember in the next drive. The important thing, in the end, is that I sourced lots of unsourced articles. Wikishovel (talk) 06:31, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing my draft. I am a new editor on Wikipedia, and I am still learning how to contribute properly. Since English is not my first language, I sometimes use AI tools only as a writing aid, but I always try to rewrite the text myself and verify everything with reliable news sources.

If there are still issues in my draft that looks like LLM-generated content, it would be very grateful for your guidance. please let me know which parts I should improve or rewrite manually so that the article can be standards.

Thank you very much for your time and help. Slytherin890511 (talk) 08:57, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

When 2 articles are obviously duplicates, no discussion is needed, no matter how hard the editors worked on it (WP:BOLDMERGE). And there is no policy to keep the older article just by virtue of being older (so we also don't need consensus from the editors of the older article). In this case, the newer article was better and has the better title. I see no reason to have a discussion or even what to discuss. If there is some policy I missed, let me know or we can be bold and merge again. Thanks. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:21, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Go ahead. I really don't care. Wikishovel (talk) 15:22, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

OK, looking at the article histories again, I will merge the other way. The newer article has no meaningful page history and should have qualified for speedy deletion under CSD A10 criteria. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:32, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Because tone doesn't normally come through in text media, I wanted to say I appreciate your reports at WP:SPI. :) I wish your quick actions were enough to convince our more prolific sockpuppeteers to give it up. Maybe one day. --Yamla (talk) 18:21, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Why thank you. :) As long as there's money in sleazily scamming Wikipedia, there will be SPs. Our job is just to keep hammering right back, make it as expensive as possible, enjoy the small wins, and have a laugh at the unblock requests. Where significant success can be seen is with the non-pro SPs, focussed on a single bio. I could list you a few notable wins, but... not here, haha. Wikishovel (talk) 18:29, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

at least just tell me how to fix it TimCheeseGlazer (talk) 13:34, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

I advise you to read Help:Your first article, and then start a draft article. I see that Draft:Nitro Type has already been started, so you could improve that draft.

Don't use AI tools like ChatGPT to write it.

Add references that show Nitro Type has significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic.

Then submit the draft for review. Wikishovel (talk) 13:39, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Polonium dichloride dibromide. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because Weak, inaccessible, or non-existent sourcing for key details, and generally just apparent remnants of AI slop. doi:10.1039/jr9550003959 might have info, but is it notable even with that?.

• https://www.newspapers.com/image-view/565040453/

I would say in the least the user needs reported and blocked for their editing behavior. If you see their talk page, they are constantly warned yet continue the same patterns.
