Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Harry Lacy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Planter's Wife (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

The latest wave of PRODs and AfDs[edit]
To answer your question on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lookout, Wyoming, yes he wrote an essay (Wikipedia:Reliability of GNIS data) and is on a tear to remove all the "unincorporated" not-readily-apparent populated community stubs around the country. If you de-PROD, he AfDs. I can't even keep up with those he's PRODed just in Kentucky; I have to pick and choose which ones I tackle. I'm a Proposed Deletion Patroller so that's where I found out about these numerous PRODs. It takes quite a bit of research, and then editing, to enhance the articles. With so many PROD requests flying in each day, no one can keep up with the work. Perhaps there should be a governor to slow the rate at which PRODs and AfDs are submitted.

- Milowent, don't forget to put your vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cooper Lake, Wyoming now that you've done all the work to enhance the article. Normal Op (talk) 00:42, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- Could one of you post a link to the Proposed Deletion Patroller? Thanks. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:59, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- Sure, FloridaArmy... CAT:PROD. Basically, I check each day's link and see if there's anything I want to save, research, de-prod, endorse, or whatever. You can also read more about it at Wikipedia:Proposed deletion. Normal Op (talk) 02:44, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

- Normal Op, thanks for the background information! Surely the nominator will withdraw Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cooper Lake, Wyoming. Some editors think they can make a difference by going on a tear like this, hopefully they come to their senses quickly. It seems to me if they are locales and not unincorporated communities, he could just edit all the articles and add a notability tag. That would give editors time to review these. There's no deadline to complete this project we call Wikipedia.--Milowent • hasspoken 12:32, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- Milowent, I've been dealing with him for almost a week now... on several articles. Seems like his main complaint is that someone loaded up Wikipedia with all these "points of interest" and labeled them communities — an error which has been propagated around the internet. Okay, so figure out what kind of point these items were, change the infobox, and move on. But no, once you identify the point, upgrade the article, he changes his tune to "it's not worthy enough for an article in Wikipedia". It's almost like he's using PROD and AfD to get other people to do the work NOW, with the whip of "I'll delete this article if you don't". I just hope the closing AfD admins see through the smoke. Don't forget to vote; you just made a comment, but neither Keep nor Delete vote. Normal Op (talk) 14:32, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- Normal Op, I'll vote on Lookout if its needed. I did look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Falter Place, Nebraska a bit, that one may not be "notable", but that doesn't mean there isn't knowledge that should go somewhere!--Milowent • hasspoken 14:41, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Invite to Revive WikiProject:Shopping Centers![edit]
Hey there, Milowent! I'm Windyshadow32, a new member of the sadly inactive Wikiproject Shopping Centers. I am trying to revive this project to highlight the unique stories of malls across the country and the world especially as we lose more and more of them. Undoubtedly, we will lose shopping malls due to the challenges we face at this moment. Your account was listed as involved in the project, and I would like to know if you would like to help revive it! I can't take on this massive project without you! Please let me know if you'd be willing to help; I really appreciate it!

Speedy deletion nomination of Ohmer, California[edit]
Hello, Milowent,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Jamez42 and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Ohmer, California, for deletion, because [consensus decision] previously decided that it wasn't suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you wish to restore a page deleted via a deletion discussion, please use the deletion review process instead, rather than reposting the content of the page.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Jamez42}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Top25/doc[edit]
A tag has been placed on Template:Top25/doc requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Since this template was merged with {{Top 25 report}}, the documentation on that template was updated, making this template an unused duplication of the currently used documentation
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
