A barnstar for you!
The Civility Barnstar | |
Thank you for being so kind to me when you didn't agree with an AfC article I had accepted :) Genuinely probably the nicest ways I've been called out on anything on Wikipedia. -- NotCharizard 🗨 07:19, 12 September 2023 (UTC) |
- Thank you so much! Now my 10,000th edit actually has some significance and isn't some random gnomish vandalism warning xD Utopes (talk / cont) 08:00, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

- An RfC is open regarding amending the paid-contribution disclosure policy to add the following text:
Any administrator soliciting clients for paid Wikipedia-related consulting or advising services not covered by other paid-contribution rules must disclose all clients on their userpage.
- Administrators can now choose to add the user's user page to their watchlist when changing the usergroups for a user. This works both via Special:UserRights and via the API. (T272294)
- The 2023 CheckUser and Oversight appointments process has concluded with the appointment of one new CheckUser.
- Self-nominations for the electoral commission for the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections opens on 2 October and closes on 8 October.
Could you please double-check that new article? The formula (CuN3) and nickel ionic nature (dinickel monocation) are not correct. DMacks (talk) 18:26, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
- @DMacks: Thanks for letting me know! That was definitely an error; I had borrowed a page skeleton when I was putting the page together (mainly for tuning the chembox template), but did not catch that that part. I have gone back and updated the lead based on the associated zhwiki page, so please take a look to see if I addressed everything! (As a heads-up, I had planned on creating a few more of these for azides with quality coverage, namely for Cr, Mn, Co, and Hg as the ones that are left. These should crop up over the next couple days if everything goes right.) Utopes (talk / cont) 20:46, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
- Ni(N3)2 looks good now. Thanks for all your work on these. I've worked with a few of the more-stable or gas-phase/matrix-isolated among the M(N3)x but not in many years. DMacks (talk) 21:43, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
November Articles for creation backlog drive
Hello Utopes:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
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.

October 2023 NPP backlog drive – Most redirects award
Redirect Ninja Award | ||
Hi Utopes!
Thank you so much for contributing to the New pages patrol backlog drive. You reviewed an astounding 4,684 redirects. That’s more than any other person could do, and it’s safe to say you impressed us all with your dedication to the project. Your reviews were not just plentiful, but they were accurate, efficient, and well reasoned. This drive would not have been near as successful without your reviews and helpful advice provided via Discord. I am honored to award you the redirect ninja award for your outstanding job this month. Congratulations and happy editing! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 13:03, 1 November 2023 (UTC) |

Hello, you declined my article based on the fact that the sources didn't change despite the previous reviewer's comments. However as stated by the reviewer there was no problem with the source itself, it was just the way I added them in the article, which I fixed.

RfD and the WP:SNOW clause
I'm not going to revert your revert, but I do think keeping the discussion open longer will be a needless waste of editor time that could be better spent elsewhere. Cremastra (talk) 22:11, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- While you're probably right that the discussion will result in a keep verdict, the decision to close it before the discussion even turned 12 hours old was premature. It was a nom created in good faith, but who was not given the time of day to withdraw if they wanted, or respond to any of the keep voters if they so choose. RfD is not a head count, and 40% of the keeps were "weak keeps" at that. At the end of the day, how editors spend their time is up them, but if the nominator has any words they'd like to add there, that is permitted. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:24, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Cremastra: If you want to close that discussion, I see the one above has also been closed as a snow-keep so the one in question could probably end up in the same boat. I will say, I was quite surprised to see what seemed to be a new person relisting and closing discussions on their first day at RfD, hence my apprehension around that discussion closing early despite the 5 keep votes. It'll probably have a snowball's chance of getting deleted, so it was likely correct in spirit. I trust your judgement, so if you think its closure-as-keep is the right call, that works for me too.

Administrators' newsletter – December 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2023).

Now, non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace solely to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided that their actions are not disruptive.
- The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
- Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.

Hi Utopes, I finished making this draft longer to the best of my ability. hopefully other editors can expand it more but i'll try to do it later if i remember. i'd appreciate if you could check if it's ready, thx Deondernemers (talk) 07:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for doing that; I'll resubmit the draft under your name, but I'll leave it to another reviewer to see if someone else can ascertain the plot more than I can. As I mentioned earlier, the references look reliable, but another set of eyes could be warranted now that there's more to chew on. Utopes (talk / cont) 07:26, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Greetings Utopes,
Is this an error? Or I am missing something? Maliner (talk) 06:04, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Woah! I am... not sure how that happened, definitely an error. Thanks for catching it! Going to look at other similar edits to see if anything else looks like that, as I haven't seen anything like that before. Very perplexed because that type of message can/would only be placed on a talk page. Again, thank you! Utopes (talk / cont) 06:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Utopes this this and this
- Saw it before, this error seems to be occurring since last year where it bugs when a talk page has a

- Appreciate the heads up all, I'll be mindful when dealing with those requests, and/or CSD any errors such as the above if they slip through the cracks. Cheers! Utopes (talk / cont) 06:34, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- mhm! emptying the redirects backlog is really nice :D Justiyaya 06:34, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Justiyaya: You are great, too. I appreciate your efforts in reducing our backlog through your participation in the recent NPP backlog drive. Maliner (talk) 06:43, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- No worries. We all know you're a great editor. Isn't it Justiyaya? Maliner (talk) 06:26, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'm also here to find out why you are creating odd talk pages. I see on the Move log that they are frequently then moved to the correct location. But I see that other editors have brought this issue to you. Liz Read! Talk! 07:25, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Talk:Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?! is an example of what I'm concerned about. Liz Read! Talk! 07:27, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- It appears that it's a potential bug / unexpected occurrence in the AFC/R helper script. When creating pages requested at AFC/R, the helper script places a banner on the respective talk page of each redirect created. Most of the time this is done without any problems. However, for a small subset of redirects (all of which contain a colon), there seems to be an issue where this talk page is created in the wrong namespace (article space). Justiyaya linked a discussion where this error was first brought up from last year. I didn't notice there was a problem at first but luckily I believe all of these situations have been taken care of, and I've scanned ahead and there's only one page left in the backlog that contains a colon, yet to be created. Could be good to test on if wanted; hopefully this clears up the situation! Utopes (talk / cont) 07:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Archiving empty requests doesn't make sense, but if you want to do so, no problem. Happy editing! – DreamRimmer (talk) 19:13, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- The first request had entries that didn't get registered in the right format (but there was no rationale so they probably wouldn't pass). The second case had some text, but the main reason for logging was in case the two IPs wanted to revise their nomination in the future, so at least there's record of it 👍. Probably not the most necessary to keep record of, but during the process of archiving I figured I'd make sure to grab 100% of the non-vandalism requests made rather than cutting the malformatted ones. That way, everything is preserved from the good to the bad, in the very rare chance it'll be looked at again later. No worries, thanks for everything you do, and happy editing!

Thanks for creating the categories
Thank you for recently creating the series of stock market categories, and in doing so, clearing the backlog. Much appreciated. You've helped make progress in something that has been held up by various roadblocks since early November last year. 92.71.60.61 (talk) 11:40, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Utopes,
Thanks for taking some of the bad redirects you found to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 January 21#Chen Mingyi (Taiwan). It was a snow close to Delete all which I was expecting. But I have seen some redirects with minor grammatical mistakes like this kept for technical reasons which I don't really understand and can't explain. It has to do with how some computers read and interpret text.
I'm just trying to discourage patrollers from using CSD G6 as a "catch-all" criteria that doesn't really stand for anything but articles, redirects or templates that are just wrong. Speedy deletion criteria are intentionally very specific and limited to apply to very obvious cases so pages like this that are clearly incorrect but don't fit a criteria are best going to AFD or RFD where editors who are experienced in reviewing certain types of pages can evaluate them. Liz Read! Talk! 02:36, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Liz, thank you for the alert! I wasn't intending to use G6 as a means to hypothetically "just delete" a page, or in an "absence of rationale". There certainly are certainly a number of these that I've been able to identify, and you may have seen an uptick of such case following the closure of a handful of recent RfDs that you've pulled up, which indicated to me that it might have been a more wide scale issue. Particularly, there is this query which shows the list such cases, as they existed before deletion: [1] (and this is the query which includes pages that are still up, and don't meet the CSD criteria (or I haven't checked them): [2])
- This said, I don't think I've been using G6 as a "catch-all" criteria. I completely understand how using it like one would be a problem, because it is important to make sure that CSD criteria are correctly categorized, and deleting something because "it's vaguely not right" is not a good reason for deletion, as this interpretation differs from person to person and not concrete. In the template text for Template:Db-error, it states: "This may meet [the CSD criteria]... as a redirect left over from moving a page that was obviously created at the wrong title". Based on the edit summaries used in every page-move, these pages were very shortly moved to the correct title, after previously being created at the wrong title.
- Throughout this process, I feel as if I've been conscientious of which of these pages with unlikely characters I've been nominating. I've been paying attention to edit summaries and move logs to make sure that each page was an early page move from a title created in error, with no other editing history that may have arisen since then. As an example, there's a reason why I tagged Tomomatsu Atsunobu(Scholar) for G6, but have done nothing about the nearly identical Atsunobu Tomomatsu(Scholar) due to the page history of the latter. During the time that I was going through these titles, I also was creating relevant RfD threads such as this and that, as these pages were brand new creations at these titles and not redirects left behind from page moves, thus these did not meet the G6-error criteria.
- I don't believe I've made a mistake on this front, but if there are any examples that weren't early page moves from articles created at the wrong title, I would be gracious to know, as this wasn't my intention. 🙏 I appreciate the reminder, as it's always good to make sure the right rationale is used for deletion tags, but you'd also be correct that I didn't want to flood RfD with that many more of these if G6-error was applicable. 😅 I've been trying my best to ensure that the correct channels are used for titles with these characters, but please let me know if there's anything I should be doing differently in the future with these.

I disagree with you about its class. B it is not. I would place this more at a C status. Its written like an advertisement and has grammatical issues. Its really close, but I dot think its there yet per WP:Content assessment#Grades. Im going to run it though WPCleaner and fix it a bit, I already have some. Its in interesting topic.
