Deletion discussion about Sticker Mule
Hello, Bsoyka, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Mikehawk10, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Sticker Mule, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Sticker Mule.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Recent changes
 * Mobile IP editors are now able to receive warning notices indicating they have a talk page message on the mobile website (similar to the orange banners available on desktop). These notices will be displayed on every page outside of the main namespace and every time the user attempts to edit. The notice on desktop now has a slightly different colour.

Changes later this week
 * Wikidata will be read-only for a few minutes on 11 November. This will happen around 06:00 UTC. This is for database maintenance.
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes
 * In the future, unregistered editors will be given an identity that is not their IP address. This is for legal reasons. A new user right will let editors who need to know the IPs of unregistered accounts to fight vandalism, spam, and harassment, see the IP. You can read the suggestions for how that identity could work and discuss on the talk page.

Lisa Hoggarth
Hello, ! I see that you currently have no adoptees, I would be interested if you can adopt me as I aim to become a top editor someday. BTW, can you have a look at the name, 'Lisa Hoggarth' and tell me if it's notable enough for having a Wikipedia page. I can share some links I intend to use as references with you. Thank you in advance. Binaza (talk) 13:28, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from RalphPerry (03:11, 19 October 2021)
Thank you for your offer to mentor me. I want to become more active on Wikipedia, and I could really use some help.

For instance, I recently posted a question in the Teahouse, and got a number of helpful responses. I'd like to thank the people who responded, but I'm not sure if this is appropriate, or if so, how to do it. (The reason I think it might not be an appropriate practice is the volume of message traffic that would be generated if everybody sent "Thank You" messages to everybody who responded to their questions. Also, there doesn't seem to be an obvious mechanism for sending messages to respondents.)

I really appreciate your help getting started with Wikipedia. The communication structure is a lot bigger and more highly developed (complex) than I expected, and I can see it's going to take some time and effort to learn how to use it correctly. I was feeling pretty lost when I got your message, and I was encouraged and motivated by it. Thank You, Ralph Perry --Shadetree Sam (talk) 03:11, 19 October 2021 (UTC) P.S. I'm not sure why, but this message got tagged with a reference to "Category:Pages with disallowed DISPLAYTITLE modifications" when I posted it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RalphPerry (talk • contribs) 03:18, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Question from PeterDavisNZ (19:49, 6 November 2021)
Hello. Here is my own website - https://peterdavisnz.com/. Can you take a look at it and see if there are areas where I can usefully contribute to Wikipedia? As you can see, I do write stuff for the (NZ) media. I was also a senior editor for a decade in the 2000s at the top journal, Social Science and Medicine. So, I have experience. Take your time. I am in no hurry. I have the time! peter

PS May be we should start a subset called Kiwipedia (kiwi being the colloquial name for NZer, and our national bird!)? --PeterDavisNZ (talk) 19:49, 6 November 2021 (UTC)


 * You can just check out any articles for topics you enjoy, and get started there! Even if you don't know much about a topic, you can contribute!  Bsoyka  ( talk &middot;  contribs ) 18:44, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Sticker Mule logo.svg
Thanks for uploading File:Sticker Mule logo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:28, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

 * That won't happen for multiple reasons. Based on a quick search, you don't seem notable by either Wikipedia's standards or Instagram's standards. Writing an article about yourself won't change either of those. Also, you can't write articles about yourself because it's obviously a huge conflict of interest.

Your draft article, Draft:Jay Chavez


Hello, Bsoyka. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Jay Chavez".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest. Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
 * The template db-afc-move has been created - this template is similar to db-move when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Can you please help me out? Thanks
Hello, can you please help me out so we can get our Austin, Texas school on Wikipedia? The pictures are our own, and I wrote the page. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Please help. Many of our students come from poverty and do not have parents, so this would be a huge help for school morale and give our kids something to be proud of. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by RyanCase (talk • contribs) 19:03, 22 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Hey, ! Unfortunately, middle schools aren't typically notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. We have specific criteria for what merits an article here, and middle schools almost never meet them. No amount of editing can overcome this issue, either, so there's nothing you can really improve on here. Also, your usage of the words "we" and "our" make me assume you have a conflict of interest here. This isn't something bad; it just means there are guidelines you need to follow, especially including not editing articles of subjects you're related to. Also, if you're an employee of the school, you must disclose it per the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use.  I understand this is probably a lot to take in at once, but always feel free to ask me on this page if you have any questions!   One final note: make sure to sign your messages on talk pages like this one by adding four tildes  at the end. Have a wonderful day!
