Sagephora subcarinata
Heads up. I tagged it for an RD1 request, but I think it may be public domain since it was published in New Zealand. However, I don't want to trigger any filters. I apologize for any disruption. Scorpions13256 (talk) 04:25, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Rationale behind these revdels
Hi Nthep, thank you for answering so many revdels! I just wanted to get your thought rationale behind these two requests of mine (Abba Estifanos and Litani River Dam), as I see them as pretty similar cases. Why was Abba Estifanos declined while Litani was accepted? Sennecaster ( Chat ) 00:46, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Sennecaster there's a variety of things (a non exhaustive list) that I consider:
 * how far back does the copyright go?
 * what proportion of the article is a copyvio?
 * how many other editors have edited the article in the interim?
 * how significant are those other editors contributions to the article?
 * how blatant was the original copy violent?
 * If, for example, a copyvio has gone unnoticed for several years but the only edits since then have been gnomeish things like typos, categories, small additions, then I'd probably revdel the lot. If it was a more recent copyvio but there have been considerable and substantial changes to the article text by other editors, I might decline the revdel under the large scale use clause of WP:REVDEL.
 * I try to be reasonably consistent but probably don't manage to be so. Nthep (talk) 07:16, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks! I figured it was probably admin discretion/inconsistencies, but just wanted to make sure :) Happy revdeleting, Sennecaster ( Chat ) 18:37, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Technical news
 * The Wikimania 2022 Hackathon will take place virtually from 11 August to 14 August.
 * Administrators will now see links on user pages for "Change block" and "Unblock user" instead of just "Block user" if the user is already blocked. (T308570)

Arbitration
 * The arbitration case request Geschichte has been automatically closed after a 3 month suspension of the case.

Miscellaneous
 * You can vote for candidates in the 2022 Board of Trustees elections from 16 August to 30 August. Two community elected seats are up for election.
 * Wikimania 2022 is taking place virtually from 11 August to 14 August. The schedule for wikimania is listed here. There are also a number of in-person events associated with Wikimania around the world.

Regarding Harry Potter and 9/11
Can I get a more detaled reason why my artcle was rejencted? 70.56.147.118 (talk) 20:21, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is not a repository of reddit discussions speculating on obscure and hypothetical topics. If the topic is truly notable then you could provide multiple, reliable sources about the topic, not a single reddit drama board. Nthep (talk) 20:39, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I have more Reddit posts and a Fandom W*nk link if you want 70.56.147.118 (talk) 20:41, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No, it needs reliable sources - please read the links I gave above, not just fan speculation, theorising and discussion. Nthep (talk) 20:43, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * And any such edits would fall under a discretionary sanctions regime regardless of how well-sourced they were. But we do not allow original synthesis or crackpot theories, especially so where discretionary sanctions are involved. —Jéské Couriano  v^&lowbar;^v  a little blue Bori 21:00, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * u guys do realize harry pooter is not real and thus it doesnt even fall under crack heads or discriminatory standarts? 70.56.147.118 (talk) 21:10, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * "Harry Potter and 9/11" falls under the sanctions for the September 11 conspiracy theories topic area, no matter how you slice it since you're interpreting the series, based on fan wonkery, to have some connexion to the Septermber 11 attacks nevermind that half of the books predate 2011/09/11. —Jéské Couriano  v^&lowbar;^v  a little blue Bori 21:22, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No Im not saying that the AL queda dudes read harry potter and said HELL YEAH LETS FLY A PLANE INTO SOME TOWERS im saying theres a lot of people who think harry potter could have stopped 9/11 and theres a big enough drama post that it could be relevent for wiki pedia.!!!!70.56.147.118 (talk) 21:24, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * question 2 how many reddit posts does ta topic have to have to be notable because like some citations here ar ereddit 70.56.147.118 (talk) 21:26, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Reddit is completely worthless as a cite due to it having zero editorial oversight. See WP:Reliable sources. —Jéské Couriano  v^&lowbar;^v  a little blue Bori 21:27, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Reddit is where the drama is happening 70.56.147.118 (talk) 21:30, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * And? It's still a completely garbage source. —Jéské Couriano</i>  v^&lowbar;^v  a little blue Bori 21:31, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * can i make it a subpage of 9.11 which isnt indexed as highly > > 70.56.147.118 (talk) 21:31, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * or can i write and joannes page about how she wont answer about 9.11 and the holo caust 70.56.147.118 (talk) 21:32, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * "Agenda" is not strictly a political term, and you have admitted you have an agenda here by stating you're demanding a response from Rowling. —<i style="color: #1E90FF;">Jéské Couriano</i>  v^&lowbar;^v  a little blue Bori 21:39, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Chinese Military Exercises Near Taiwan
You redacted (revdel'd) some material from this article about twelve hours ago. A request was filed at DRN to discuss the deletion, by an editor who says that Mr. Blinken's words are in the public domain. I closed the DRN request as outside the scope of DRN, because we are not a copyright forum. I would appreciate if you would review my closure and provide any additional information to the filing editor. I can't see what was deleted, but, from your edit summary, I am inferring that the editor who copied the material was copying an account of Mr. Blinken's statement that was published in a news medium, in which case the news medium has copyright on the reporting of his words. Please check whether I closed the matter correctly. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:06, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * @Robert McClenon I agree with your close. The material was copied from a news medium and there was no way of ascertaining if the news outlet were quoting Blinken accurately or summarising his speech. Nthep (talk) 10:22, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Championship Rugby Table
what's the difference between having 0|0 next to the results on the championship results page?... i'm confused (lol)... on the super league results page, it doesn't have it. i don't really understand what it means...

regards - L1amw90 01:51, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

The template 0 allows you to keep the scores in alignment with each other by inserting invisible characters so you can balance the number of characters each side of the dash i.e. the dash is always in the centre.

Library of Congress query
Hi Nthep, just a quick query as I would like to be clear myself regarding content from LOC, especially as you took a view regarding a recent revdel request from their site. I was (mistakenly, perhaps?) of the view that it isn't necessarily the case that all content on LOC is PD, and their copyright page seems to support that as a general idea (admittedly it generally refers to items, rather than prose, but implies that not all content published there is PD). Please can you kindly confirm for me why the prose content on the page https://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/matpc/background.html would be classed as PD (as I observe from the bottom that the content is attributed to individuals)? It would help me to understand better if I encounter any future copy-pastes from pages within the LOC. Many thanks. Bungle (talk • contribs) 16:46, 10 August 2022 (UTC)


 * @Bungle The text at https://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/matpc/background.html is credited to "Verna Curtis, Curator of Photography, and Arden Alexander, Cataloger". From the titles it implies they were at the time employees of the LoC and as such their work is PD as the text is "a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties."
