Erroneous deletion nomination
This is with respect to the article on author Faraaz Kazi. I see that it has been nominated for deletion.

I just wanted to draw attention to the fact that there are sufficient news coverages to collaborate and sustain the statements in the article. I also saw that someone had written that the article is written in the form of an advertisement where in reality, most of what has been written has come in the media, most of which are leading media houses in the country. The author in question is a two-time national award winner (both awards cited) and has a movie being made on his first book (again cited).

If we can do anything to prevent this erroneous nomination, please do let us know. Request your help in this. Thank you. Far303 (talk) 05:44, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Far303: You can make any arguments for keeping the article at Articles for deletion/Faraaz Kazi (2nd nomination), so long as they are based in policy. Also, please note Conflict of interest. &#8213;  Qwerfjkl  talk  07:09, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

how make page --NinjaSlice0 (talk) 18:46, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing six million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read WP:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out WP:TUTORIAL; it's a lot of fun!

Bot edits
What is the actual benefit of your bot changing capitalisation of short descriptions? Yes it complies with a MOS thing, but it also seems like a series of pointless, cosmetic edits that don't actually benefit the encyclopedia. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:10, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Page you accidentally created?
I was looking to install a userscript (User:SoledadKabocha/copySectionLink.js) and clicked on the page for the script to see that it was blank. I went in the history and saw that you added some malformed text to the page and then just blanked it. Is there supposed to be something here? Did you do this by accident? I think this page should probably be deleted if it has no reason to exist, and just confuses anyone who would try to use it. ― Levi_OPTalk 19:54, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Re: Legitimate Political Discourse
It's not an alternative name for the committee itself, but rather is rapidly becoming a popular phrase associated with the committee and its work (or lack thereof according to Republicans) because of the recent RNC resolution that falsely said Capitol rioters were engaging in "legitimate political discourse". 2601:18C:8B82:9E0:0:0:0:AFF6 (talk) 22:55, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Alfred Collins
Hello on 12 November 2021 as instructed by yourselves i uploaded into the sandbox the final part of the information.

Then submitted the information

I even checked with someone if I had done this correctly and was told yes.

I waited for three months and no one responded to the information in the sandbox

So today 12 February 2022 I finally decided to give it a go and upload the information manually.

I had previously downloaded and read all the help you have suggested and turned the information into a biography.

I reread the information and removed some wording and made sure it was the best I could do.

I see you have removed several days hard work and I am really disappointed.

I was really carefully to give references for everything mentioned in the information and it has taken me months to do.

Sadly I can do no more.

If anyone our there is willing to help me with MOS? Please let me know

All this information is genuinely correct and sadly seems like it will not be told. ACA64sjs (talk) 21:19, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @ACA64sjs: I've given a stab at fixing the issues. Most notably, please reference after the statement e.g. The sky is blue, and sometimes cloudy. Finally, I didn't revert you, @Theroadislong did. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  22:29, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Yaar Na Bichray
Hello, Qwerfjkl. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Yaar Na Bichray, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 18:01, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Short description upper-casing bot thought
As I look through the lower-case SD category, it occurs to me that it might be easier for you, if you want to check the bot's edits for false positives, to send the bot batches of SDs that all start with the same word. There are thousands of SDs that start with "species" (749 articles), "genus" (113), "type" (139), "village" (225), "town", "district", "city", "river", "mountain", "municipality", "election", "artist" (89), and "railway" (211). – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:15, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Here's a better search link. I see that you did some of these, and it does make inspecting the edit summaries much easier. FYI, I have fixed short description first-letter-casing in two templates over the past few days, which dropped about 1,400 pages out of the category. I also just limited the categorization to article space, since it doesn't make sense to mess with Drafts and User sandboxes; that will drop a little over 1,000 pages from the category. At the same time, articles continue to trickle in to the category as they are edited by humans and bots or reparsed by the job queue. That process will probably take multiple months. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:23, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jonesey95: I recommend using  e.g.  so the searches don't timeout. &#8213;  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:04, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jonesey95: I would appreciate if you could make a big list (or search query) for shortdescs that I can run without checking. Happy editing! &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  18:56, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Here are 2,400 articles to keep the bot occupied. The search query is at the top of the page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:47, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * And here are another 1,700 articles. When you get done with those, ping me and I will browse the category again. Right now, 25% of the results are in these two searches, so I can't see new terms very well. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:12, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll try to run these within a day. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  21:24, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Here are 858 more. It's getting more difficult to find words with more than 10 or 20 instances. After this run, I should be able to give you a list sorted by the content of the short description, which should make it easier to inspect the edits. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:01, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * It's no problem inspecting the edits, it just takes a while to go through all of them. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  17:05, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

The bot got to short descriptions starting with "a " before I could. The "a " should generally be removed, not capitalized, per SDFORMAT. I just fixed all of the "the " and "this " SDs that I could find. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:47, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I know, I removed roughly 3000 of them a while ago. I tend to just let the bot capitalise the short description, and only stop it if it's a false positive i.e. it actively makes the short description worse. So I just let the bot do bbc → Bbc and ai → Ai - anything else is outside the task's scope, and these should probably be fixed separately. &#8213; Qwerfjkl  talk  14:58, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Nice job with the bot! Articles continue to trickle in to the category. I am attempting to force the issue by null-editing about 600 articles, maybe as many as 1,000. If you check back in a hour or so, you should see a new batch of articles for the bot to work on. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:21, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The category is up to 600+ articles again as the job queue null-edits pages that somehow are not found by insource searches. It probably needs a bot run about once a week. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:28, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from Megabuffalo (01:24, 24 February 2022)
Hello,

User:Freshacconci has reverted all of my alterations on Screen Printing, I understand and accept that I shouldn't have used our reference page for the list of Suppliers that supply PVC and Phthalate inks - This is a big part of who we are and we have a page dedicated to information on this - realistically it was a good citation source as we are an authority on it. However that's fine.

However the fact he's removed all edits seems reactive.

February 2022
By all means roll back my link to our website - which was a list of Phthalate and PVC Free ink suppliers - which of note we use only Rutland and we do so through a Regional Supplier in New Zealand called uniscreen. However I get the sentiment.

However why would you remove the other citations, none of these are even remotely related to us but were pertinent in terms of the article requests for citation. Having been involved in garment screen printing for 18 years, you are also missing some reasonably important information on this article.

Garment printing inks Section

Four-colour process or the CMYK colour model "This processes utilises halftones" - this is a massive part of CMYK printing, and which I linked back to the appropriate Wiki article.

Water-based dye (ink) - This section doesn't even exist and is an entirely different ink to water-based ink. As opposed to a thicker Plastisol Alternative this (ink) arrives concentrate which is mixed into a printing paste (thickener) to allow Screen Printing, this process is best used on light garments and as the dye is in the fibers themselves is often used for dish cloths, napkins and the like. This is similar to traditional textile printing.

Plastisol - Your description is literally incorrect without this. "except in the case of low cure inks[10]."

Again your automation section is poorly lacking. And on top this these are all pertinent citations, I have purposely avoided linking to specific brands which we may use here.

'''Automation Section --Megabuffalo (talk) 01:24, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Megabuffalo: This should be taken up with @Freshacconci, either in their talk page, or on the talk page of Screen printing (which I see you have done). Please remember to ping users with the template, to notify them of a discussion. &#8213;  Qwerfjkl  talk  07:12, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

 * If you are a template developer or an interface administrator, and you are intentionally overriding or using the default CSS styles of user feedback boxes (the classes: ), please note that these classes and associated CSS will soon be removed from MediaWiki core. This is to prevent problems when the same class-names are also used on a wiki. Please let us know by commenting at T300314 if you think you might be affected.
