I saw your revdel
Hi, I saw you declined g11 on Darul Uloom Pretoria to which I agree that it doesn't fulfils the criteria of g11 at the present version of the article, I am not sure even reviewed by NPP and administrator it is still not indexed by google? Is there any issue with the review process or indexing? Or is it still unreviewed? 103.52.135.196 (talk) 11:40, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Editing Quartz
I edited the Quartz category because according to the Gemological Institute of America, Chalcedony is not a Variety of Quartz. It is a separate Species. I once listed Chalcedony as a Quartz on my 20 Stone Gem Identification Final Exam and I failed the Exam because it was incorrect. 2600:6C5E:447F:2F08:64CD:CC3B:4F2C:9F01 (talk) 17:15, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

What's the point?
Can I just ask, what's the point? You are an admin, and while as a volunteer you have no obligation whatsoever to use your tools, it seems like a total waste of time to actually edit this article instead of just deleting it. There is zero chance that this article will survive. Fram (talk) 09:55, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

MFD
I didn't see it, but I have seen this before, and it was cleaned up this time. If I had seen it 59 days ago, I would have assumed that it was done on purpose, but still needed cleaning up. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:14, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Somewhat mortified
Hi, Shirt/Pete! I have to say I'm somewhat mortified that you read my comment here as in any way a reminder to, or criticism of, you. That was not my intent, at all, in any way – you laid out the situation with enviable clarity and no trace of harshness that I could perceive. I mentioned good faith because there's a user who's been asking questions about this topic but not otherwise showing much similarity to the others; it occurred to me that there might have a been a social media post somewhere, causing new editors to stumble into an existing mess. Anyway, I see good faith as one of my own (innumerable) weak points, so your reply acted as a reminder to me. For which, thank you! Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:16, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
