User:Casualdejekyll/pagetemplate

User talk page that is also just a user page. I'm not really sure how often anyone reads this, but I think it's more often than they would if the two were separate.

I've recently found myself with a strange obsession with Good/Featured topics. So if you see me have any weird subpages that are random lists of articles, that's probably why. I also feel committed to finishing my Synapturanus project at some point, though I haven't had time for proper article writing or source searching as of recent. Massive thanks to anybody who edits any of the articles I wrote - they're not very good in the state I left them in. 22:50, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

A discussion closing as "no consensus" almost always results in one of the options (keep, status quo) effectively being enacted anyway. That kind of makes it a shitty deal for anyone who supports the other options - they're effectively told "we don't know what we want to do, but we're doing the other one anyway". There is no way to avoid this that I'm currently aware of. casualdejekyll 20:52, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

I should probably introduce myself on this page. I'm casualdejekyll. Or Casual DeJekyll, if you really want to have a first and last name. "Casual" is acceptable but might cause confusion. My signature was originally the color hex #FF69B4, and I seem to recall it being the color used as an example in some sort of tutorial, but I can't find it now and I've changed it to #E6007A for accessibility reasons. 15:16, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

I think BLPs (currently governed by WP:Notability (people)) should be held to a way higher inclusion standard than GNG. I don't think a proposal for such would find consensus. casualdejekyll 02:25, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I don't like G13, because deletion isn't actually real, anyway, so all it does is prevent people from seeing old drafts which may be promising - and requiring two additional clicks from an admin (one to delete the page, another to undelete it) - just think how much time has been wasted on that? I'm sure it's added up at this point. The purpose of G13 is to clean up draftspace crud, but I would argue that any draft space page not falling under the GX speedy criteria isn't actually crud, since any editor can come by and improve it. Additionally, if G13 deletions were removed, mass draftification proposals would become much more viable - and we could more easily remove crud from mainspace, where it actually matters. I have many ideas for alternatives to G13, but most of them have been proposed by other people already in some form. If anyone has a good explanation of the benefit of deleting old drafts, please let me know. casualdejekyll 20:25, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

To add to the above: of course, in Mainspace "crud" is more important. I would support expanding BLPPROD to all articles. casualdejekyll 20:25, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
