Chinese air force march
I didn't know it was copyrighted. Sorry about that. It was copied from the chinese wikipedia. This is my first account, I didn't know. Can you please delete it? I don't know how to delete it.

Sheldybett, could you please explain how you came across this discussion? You don't appear to have ever participated in any featured content discussions or edited articles on superhero films (I'm not including minor copyedits to articles that you don't seem to have been reading but giving the same mass edits to as other articles in unrelated topic areas) before. It looks super-dodgy when someone [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sheldybett/Archive_1&oldid=889714666#%22Result_was_keep%22?

Relisting AfDs
Just a friendly heads-up – per NOQUORUM, AfDs that have had no opposition, such as Articles for deletion/Freemu Varghese, should be soft-deleted as an expired prod, rather than relisted. Bradv 🍁  15:01, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Relist Bias
Hi. I saw that you relisted this AfD. Have you read the essay Relist bias? I think it explains why non-sysops, such as us, should not be relisting AfD discussions in pretty clear terms. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 13:16, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Agree with the above; Sheldybett, you were told in no uncertain terms in January to stop closing AFDs (and that includes relisting) or you would likely be TBANned; your initial response was to feign contrition and stay away from AFD closing for a few weeks, but then you seem to have gone right back to the behaviour that put eyes on you in the first place. Hijiri 88 ( 聖やや ) 00:08, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * May I ask why after all of these conversations, you thought it would be a good idea to relist not one, but two AFDs? In case you need a reminder for what I am referring, see these discussions:,, , , , , ).(, , , Praxidicae (talk) 15:02, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Removing a BLP/PROD to nominate at AfD
Why did you remove a valid BLPPROD that placed on the Bhavika Sharma article, then nominate it for AfD? You did something similar with PRODs on Articles for deletion/Alone in the Neon Jungle and Articles for deletion/Kiwiberri, in which you removed the PROD then nominated for AfD with the PROD rationale. The BLPPROD is even stranger since you didn't provide a single reliable source (which is the valid reason to remove a BLPPROD) when you removed it. Please explain. Bakazaka (talk) 02:41, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Because I saw the WP:BLPPROD tag in front of an article, but it has one source which the reason I removed it. BLPPROD is the stub biographical article which has no sources at all. Sheldybett (talk) 03:00, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. As Praxidicae's edit summary for the BLPPROD pointed out, the source is unreliable, and as the linked BLPPROD policy explains, the presence of an obviously unreliable source is not a valid reason to remove a BLPPROD: . Perhaps you're thinking of the Unreferenced template, which can only be applied if no sources are present. But BLPPROD works differently, and you need to be especially careful not to do anything that looks like you're clerking deletion processes. Bakazaka (talk) 03:13, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey there, you placed the deletion tag on my page and would like your ok to remove it. I am actively working on the page. IsraeliIdan (talk) 10:14, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I could not because I was topic banned from clerking from admin related areas, maybe some other editors will remove it. Sheldybett (talk) 11:42, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Election RfC
Please maintain the correct formatting of year ranges when you move election articles. A year range is supposed to use an endash. It’s good practice to have a redirect from a hyphens version, though.  Schwede 66  06:06, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Copy/pasted BLP assessments with wrong names, again
Do you notice anything wrong with Talk:Jay-Jay Feeney or Talk:Sharyn Casey? Here is a hint: it is the same thing that was wrong with and  and  and  and  and  and  and, all of which happened since the last time I asked you not to copy/paste assessments without checking contents. Bakazaka (talk) 18:28, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Sheldybett, that wasn't a rhetorical question. Do you notice anything wrong with those talk pages? Bakazaka (talk) 23:00, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Sheldybett, you have been editing since the above question was posted. Please respond. This needs to be sorted out. We don't want to have to discuss this at other notice boards again.  Schwede 66  01:39, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Well I have keep forgetting to check the contents before it is okay to rewrite the bio after they are created. No, I Have not taken notice lately. Sheldybett (talk) 02:12, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you're saying. Could you say it a different way? Bakazaka (talk) 02:31, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Maybe if I ask the question differently it will help: Do you think that Jay-Jay Feeney and Sharyn Casey should be indexed as "Ferguson, Susie"? Bakazaka (talk) 21:24, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think so. Sheldybett (talk) 02:26, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Then perhaps you could fix your edits on those two talk pages to the correct values, and in future be even more careful not to set the "listas" parameter to the wrong person's name. If you are having problems working with the listas parameter for some reason, you could also avoid talk page assessments for biographies of living persons entirely, but I am hopeful that you will be more careful now that it's been brought to your attention multiple times.

Farmers Building
Oh dear. That's not what Aucklanders would understand as the Farmers Building. The Farmers Building is on the corner of Hobson and Wyndham Streets and is now a hotel. Part of it is shown opposite, but there are many images online. I think Farmers does not own the building it currently occupies, so it was a bit of a mistake to label your image Farmers Building. Akld guy (talk) 08:23, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Class assessment
I'd appreciate if you could assess obvious stubs as stubs. Not start class. For example, 1962 Christchurch mayoral election is a stub. See this page for a rating scale. A good rule of thumb, adopted from WP:DYK, is that you would need 1500 kB of readable prose before it's start class. Any questions, please ask (here's good).  Schwede 66  08:07, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

DESIbiltz
Hi there, You have deleted my draft article on DESIbiltz on June 26th, stating it looked like advertising. I promise it was never my intention to advertise them, it's just this is my first article and I might have praised the company without even realizing it. I do apologize for that! I have rewritten my article and have found more independent sources. Could I please upload my new draft so you could evaluate it? My apologies once again

Freddy, my love
You have tagged this song for speedy deletion. Please be more careful; the speedy criterion you have chosen specifies that the artist performing the song does not themselves have a Wikipedia page. A very quick search, which you are required to do, reveals the singer's Wikipedia page. I notice that your inaccuracy is speedy-tagging has already been remarked on. Please be a lot more careful.

UNblock discussion
Wouldn't AIV be prohibited under the circumstances? Dlohcierekim (talk) 02:06, 28 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think so. Sheldybett (talk) 02:08, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

As the editor who has imposed this block, I now wonder what the exact meaning of "clerking" is. Does CSD tagging fall under clerking?  Schwede 66  02:11, 28 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I would interpret the ban as meaning Sheldybett cannot remove other people's CSD tags, even if obviously inappropriate, but they can place tags, within reason. The recent tagging of Mooning (song) and Freddy, My Love with WP:CSD is clearly inappropriate as the recording articles for these songs have articles, and this failure to check the rules is part of a pattern of behaviour the ban was intended to prevent, but it is not clerking and therefore not actually covered by the ban. I suggest we unblock Sheldybett, with a caution that if they place inappropriate tags in future then the ban will be extended to cover such areas.- gadfium 03:37, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * In reference to "fighting vandalism" above, what kind of vandalism fighting is this? StonyBrook (talk) 06:39, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I have no IDEA with the former is adding unsourced material with the former. Sheldybett (talk) 06:55, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Methinks adding unsourced-though-relevant material and vandalism are two different things. Why not just add a citation needed tag? I removed some POINTy language from that paragraph. StonyBrook (talk) 06:59, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * "No clerking" basically means you can make your own request for administrative action, but you can't modify someone else's request. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:41, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * NinjaRobotPirate, It would be a perfect, least I did not acutally clerk, but will it be enough for an unblock? Sheldybett (talk) 07:31, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Dlohcierekim, Well what NinjaRobotPirate said I was not actually clerking. Would one of you unblock my account please, plus I'am willing to be careful next time. Thank you. Sheldybett (talk) 01:51, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I can't see unblocking unless you agree to stay away from AIV and CSD and any other area where you are having problems. Try article building instead. The lack of understanding of what vandalism is and of the CSD criteria make it unwise for you to work in those areas. I think we need to move away from Wikilawyering about what the TBAN did or did not mean to just ending the disruption. Any other admin, as always, should disregard my opinion if they disagree, but this is how I see it.03:18, 1 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Dlohcierekim, Yes I will stay away from AIV and CSD as I agree with you. Sheldybett (talk) 03:29, 1 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Dlohcierekim I will agree, Thank you. Sheldybett (talk) 06:56, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
