The_Repair_Manual
Hello,

We are still working on the draft page The_Repair_Manual however it was deleted by you. We were in the process of improving the page by adding the sources. Could you please advise whether its possible to unlock the draft ? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oliver140 (talk • contribs) 18:48, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Greetings, Based on the discussion on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:The Repair Manual and on the sources in the article, I don't think it is time. Perhaps in six months? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:53, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

We wanted to keep the article in draft so that we can add the sources and make it as per wikipedia guideline. With no draft we have to start from scratch. Thanks for your undestandingOliver140 (talk) 06:45, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, the problem is that if the requisite sources that satisfy WP:NCORP/WP:SIGCOV don't exist, it won't matter how much you tinker with the draft because it won't be acceptable no matter what. In addition, we don't like it when people repeatedly try to submit content that was already judged inadequate. That's why I was proposing the six months waiting period.

NRIS reference
Hey, it's a very small thing, but your well-meaning edit in the J. Schmuck Block article was technically incorrect. Your edit summary asserted that the NRHP nomination document (a reference to which you added, though the document was already referenced in the article, but no matter about that) is a "better source" about the NRHP listing. It is not. It is a nomination document; this one was written in March 2008 (author preparation date in its Section 11), and the linked copy of the document was stamped received in May 2008 by the National Park Service i guess, but the actual NRHP listing occured later, in June 2008. In general nomination documents can't serve as sources about listings. You may be among a few editors (including me) who dislike some aspects of the usual NRIS reference Template:NRISref which it replaced, and I don't remember, i am not sure if you've previously expressed opposition about it. But the solution is not to remove it, when it is in fact the source; rather participating at Template talk:NRISref towards changing that reference would actually be helpful. Thanks anyhow, I am glad you are contributing on articles and/or DYKs like this one! Cheers, --Doncram (talk) 00:16, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, the main reason I used that reference was because it's the one that supported the text. I didn't bother with NRISref because I've never used it and have no idea how to apply it. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:59, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Why did you remove my name from the page "List of writers from peoples indigenous to the Americas" ?

Just because the article about me was voted down does not mean I am no longer Cherokee, or an author. I am still a citizen of the federally recognized Cherokee Nation, and I am still an author. There is a Wikipedia page on one of my books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Day_in_North_American_Indian_History Phil Konstantin (talk) 21:23, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that list is only for writers which have articles here, as you can see by the fact that each name has a blue link associated with them and by the "notable" in "This is a list of notable writers who are Indigenous peoples of the Americas.

Would you please undelete Tatiana C. Gfoeller?
In Articles for deletion/Tatiana C. Gfoeller, you said you were deleting it as WP:SOFTDELETE, which I understand means will be restored per request. Would you restore, please? My justification for restoration is, basically, WP:IAR. To be honest, I was reading a certain recently released telephone conversation transcript (if you don't know what I'm talking about, consider yourself lucky!), and found Tatiana C. Gfoeller as a red link while looking at the bio of Marie L. Yovanovitch, who features in said unfortunate transcript. Looking into it, Tatiana C. Gfoeller is the only red link on List of ambassadors of the United States to Kyrgyzstan. She also has a pretty large https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Tatiana_C._Gfoeller, a fair amount of (similarly unfortunate) appearances in WikiLeaked diplomatic cables, wrote a few travel articles, apparently witnessed an embassy firefight... Now I admit none of those is in itself a qualifier, as there is no WP:MUSTCOMPLETETHESETOFAMBASSADORSTOKYRGYZSTAN, or WP:SHESGOTABIGCOMMONSCATEGORY, but there is WP:IAR, which I'm using as a substitute thereof. Would you be so good? --GRuban (talk) 19:38, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Done. I know what you are talking about; sometimes I wonder if we need a Notability (Donald Trump-related topics) guideline. What say you, . Yes, I realize that the AFD predates the election. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:45, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * . One day we will look back on these days and laugh. Hopefully not from the safety of our radioactive fallout shelters. --GRuban (talk) 19:49, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Uncontroversial restoration. No IAR involved, it was a soft delete and can be restored on request. And now there is additional information to expand the article and add to notability.
 * As for that guideline you would like to have: there doesn't seem to be such a thing as a non-notable Trump-related topic. Countless new articles have been created about the scandal-of-the-day, hauled off to AfD, snow-kept, and proven to be highly notable. For that matter I initially thought 2019 Trump-Ukraine Scandal, as it was originally called, might be AfD material. Let it be noted: I am not a prophet. That could yet prove to be the most significant incident of his presidency. -- MelanieN (talk) 05:17, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Ha. I've certainly closed some Trump-related AFDs as redirect or delete, so they do exist. Mine was more a rhetorical suggestion motivated by the sheer amount of Trump-related articles and the controversies I've often seen about whether we want to have them.

Global watchlist - Update 1
 Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:


 * General announcements
 * Management has migrated to phabricator; to report a bug or request a feature, please create a new task with the script's tag
 * Message translation has been reduced; for common messages that are already translated in mediawiki core, the system translations are used, in order to reduce duplication of efforts


 * Recent additions
 * New pages are shown at the start of a site's feed
 * Log entries are shown at the end of a site's feed
 * Basic validation has been added to user settings, applied before saving
 * Site validation has also been added; a site (excluding unique projects like wikidata, meta, commons, etc.) is considered to be valid if it is the form of "language.project", where both the language code and project name are valid. It does not, however, check that the actual site is valid; only that it could be. In other words, even though  refers to a site that doesn't exist, it is considered valid, because   is a valid language code (  is a working site) and   is a valid project.


 * Announcements
 * BREAKING CHANGE: Backwards compatibility supporting the use of sites as  (like 'en.wikipedia.org' or 'meta.wikimedia.org'), deprecated in version 1.7.5, will be removed soon; all sites should now be saved as   (like 'de.wikinews' or 'fr.wikisource')
 * BREAKING CHANGE: Storing user sites as, deprecated in version version 1.11.11, will be removed soon; all settings should be stored in the   object
 * Both of these breaking changes will be implemented alongside version 4.0; until then, any use of the config page (m:Special:BlankPage/GlobalWatchlistConfig) will result in saving settings in the newest format

Version 4.0 should be released in around a week. It will include the new features mentioned above, as well as removal of backwards compatibility for settings and sites.
 * Next release

Hello Jo-Jo
Just to know a little bit from you, regarding this Articles for deletion/Khuraira Musa deletion, it was nominated to AFD per it fails W:GNG as claimed by its nominator, but I don't think it's really, I said in the article that she is "international renowned make-up artists" but he may be not see the kind of notability coverage he expect to. For instance, In America make-up industries are large and extreme and almost all of its artists are covert in Wikipedia, but in Nigeria, the industries are not even recognized as that of America, and this woman came back to Nigeria, where there is no any recognized make-up artist like her in the country, trying to bring out and revive the industry with her own Cosmetic Company she founded, selling her own brands, operating make-up schools, organizing trainings and teaching models etc. Please do you think this article can be restored through Deletion Review or there are other things it needs improving. Living love 08:36, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Greetings, . The problem is that one would expect a lot of WP:SIGCOV-compliant sources for such a person, but without them we cannot have an article on the topic.

Templates for discussion/Log/2019 May 14
Hey, you closed Templates for discussion/Log/2019 May 14 a few months ago without any discussion apart from the nominators statement. I have been looking at actually performing this merger, but have come to believe that it's inappropriate due to it being part of the larger family of human rights related navboxes together with International human rights organizations and International human rights instruments as discussed on the talk page. Would you mind reverting the close and relisting it? --Trialpears (talk) 14:54, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

 * I've reformatted your post a little. In my judgment, none of these sources satisfy WP:SIGCOV criteria so they can't be used as evidence to restore this article, and having a large fan following has never been considered a criterium for notability.

 * Thank you for the article "about yet another submarine mountain in the Pacific Ocean, one of the major Mid-Pacific Mountains and one of the few whose present-day conditions have been explored and researched in (some) detail. For comparison, Allison Guyot and Resolution Guyot has been principally the subject of research in their Mesozoic apparel, as were the other two (FA) Wōdejebato and Limalok, with little known about their present-day life and processes. But like these other seamounts, it formed as a volcano in the early Cretaceous and after persisting as an island or a shallow shoal finally sank below the sea where sediments accumulated on it and animals got established; its geologic history is not well known."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:27, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, concerning case I think "redirect" to another article is not a correct interpretation of the consensus, which was to "merge" to another article? You could certainly say that in many cases, a merge decision is the same as a redirect decision "in practice", but in this specific case the search term for the new article, which includes the term "modern", is already a sort of factual claim which has been disputed. The concern of the majority is that the article was created as part of a long term campaign to create the idea that the classical Germanic peoples have a modern version still today. By keeping the article title alive we actually preserve that impression to some extent? I don't think people search adding that word "modern". Even the editors proposing the existence of a modern continuation of the Germanic peoples are thinking primarily of people from classical history, as the article itself showed. Can we adapt this result please?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 12:14, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Greetings. In my mind, closing such a discussion is not simply a matter of counting the numbers of "merge"s and "delete"s; some people have flagged concerns that the material itself is unsuitable (WP:POVFORK) and that would indicate that it should not be simply merged over, and there was no overwhelming rebuttal despite the majority of voters supporting "merge". In my experience "merge" closes are most appropriate in cases where the merge is straightforward, not in such cases where it's not clear what material can be merged over and you then get a dispute; in these cases I punt the what-to-merge discussion to the talk pages and editorial discretion.
