adding hyphen to adjectival distance conversion
Hi- Saw your name in the history of Template:Convert, and thought I might bug you for help. I'm wondering if there's a way to make the distance conversion template, with adj=on, render the conversion result in the adjectival form as it does the "original" distance. For example, I would like to see the following render with 27-km instead of without the hyphen: The 17 mi race is one of the most popular fun runs in Switzerland. I don't know how to get into the guts of the template code. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Eric talk 16:30, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Upcoming changes to wikitext parsing
Hello,

There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.

There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how infobox ship is parsed).

If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Thank you for all the good things you do for the English Wikipedia. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Chimpanzee caricature listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Chimpanzee caricature. Since you had some involvement with the Chimpanzee caricature redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Guy (Help!) 22:14, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * PLEASE do not create an article about Chimpanzee caricatures. Given your wholly inappropriate comments on Jimbo's talk page, the chances of this ending up with an unnecessary drama-fest are approximately 100%. Calliopejen1 (talk) 23:50, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I had no idea how many people were trying to force racial stereotypes on WP, and I fear some people would use a caricature article as wp:coatrack to amass racial (or religious) attacks, rather than as a balanced, historical sampling of chimpanzee drawings. When I noted in the 1968 Planet film how all major characters were performed by white actors, some replies were like, so what... apes really mean black... (omg). The implied racism totally shocked me, and then the tangent to "ape intelligence" was just too much. WP cannot handle these subjects without monitors to ensure balanced content against POV warriors. It's even difficult to note slavery continued in the U.S. after the Civil War, and in various regions persisted over 20 more years, but some users would go ballistic how most slave states were in the Union (as "exceptions"), not in the Confederacy. There is so much reverting and distortion in WP pages, the truth is deliberately buried, and that also shocked me too. -Wikid77 (talk) 01:21, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Please list the slave states that were in the Union during the American Civil War, and the slave states that were in the Confederacy. Then count the two categories, and report back. At that point, either apologize for your racist misrepresentation, or accept your block. <b style="color:#070">Cullen</b><sup style="color:#707">328  Let's discuss it  07:03, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Of the 15 U.S. slave states in 1860, the Confederacy was formed in February 1861 by the lower 6 Cotton States (SC, GA, FL, AL, MS, LA) plus TX joining on March 2, 1861 (Texas Independence Day from 1836). The other 8 slave states (VA, NC, TN, KY, AR, MO, MD, DE) remained in the Union during the Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861, but there were more, as exceptions... (continue at talk:Cullen328). -Wikid77 (talk) 22:57, 3 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Evasive answer. Answer directly and concisely, and do not ignore what happened after Fort Sumter. Stay off my talk page with this matter. It will be resolved here. <b style="color:#070">Cullen</b><sup style="color:#707">328  Let's discuss it  07:37, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Since you have declined to provide a direct and factual answer, I will answer for you. The Confederate States of America consisted of 11 slave states, and they tried to establish rump governments in two more slave states, Missouri and Kentucky. The Union included six slave states, Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey (only 16 slaves total at emancipation), and West Virginia, formed during the war. The West Virginia constitution provided for gradual emancipation. Missouri abolished slavery in early 1865 before the U.S. Constitution did. Because 11 is a larger number than 6, your statement that "most slave states were in the Union as exceptions" is demonstrably false.


 * This is a reminder of established policy and a formal warning: What Wikipedia is not says that "Wikipedia is free and open, but restricts both freedom and openness where they interfere with creating an encyclopedia. Accordingly, Wikipedia is not a forum for unregulated free speech." You are warned to avoid treating Wikipedia as a forum for your personal pet theories about racism and slavery and the meaning of racial slurs. Your comments have been disruptive and tendentious. Any more forum type commentary will lead to a block. <b style="color:#070">Cullen</b><sup style="color:#707">328  Let's discuss it  20:06, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

New Page Patrol?
Hi Wikid77,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  12:55, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Astronomical unit
I reverted your change adding miles into the lede; the spot you added was inappropriate - it's where the AU is defined in exactly a precise number of meters. Adding an approximation in miles at that point doesn't work - The equivalence in miles is given later in the article, but if you feel it absolutely must be in the lede, don't put it in the same sentence where the definition in terms of meters is given. And it would probably be better to use the convert template rather than hard-code a number. Regards, <b style="color:green">Tarl N.</b> ( discuss ) 15:07, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Pointless edits
Please do not change author-link to authorlink. This is a pointless edit that does nothing constructive and just triggers watchlists for no reason It is also replacing the real parameter name with an alias to it that wastes server processor cycles. All of the multi-term parameters in the citation templates (archive-url, dead-url, access-date, trans-title, etc., etc.) have canonical forms that are hyphenated. There's no guarantee that the non-hyphenated ones will even exist forever. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  07:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

PS: The only parameters that need a space inserted after their  are the URL parameters, since doing that helps with line wrapping. Doing that to title serves no purpose and just makes the code harder to read by separating parameters from their values for no benefit. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  07:47, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I have 2 degrees in computer science, so I have learned the major sources of errors in computer languages. What we find in context-free grammars is people tend to imagine multi-word keywords as multiple words (separated by spaces) or imagine similar words are acceptable, such as the common error as "access date=" (for "accessdate=") or also "date accessed=" as 2 similar words. It is preferable, for reducing input errors, to omit punctuation marks, as much as possible, and use one-word keywords which also do not match multiple words. Hence, I have recommended new keyword "acdate=" to avoid word "access" which users from Portuguese or Spanish tend to spell with one-c "acess" or one-ess "acces" or even from Italian "accesso" where users imagine English drops the "-so" as if "acces-date=" would be a valid spelling for English-speaking users. In general, linguists have noted similar simplification in natural languages, such as early form "e-mail" became 80% "email" on the Internet or "teen-age" became "teenage" or "coöperation" or "co-operation" became "cooperation" (with no worry about chicken coops). When I was developing the early software for hypertext Google search, then I realized one-word identifiers would better match specific searches, such as "longdeg" would not match to word "long" as in "long-deg". There is extensive research, in the literature, of compiler theory, to design end-user languages around the use of spaces and tabs and avoid extra punctuation in identifier names, especially hyphens as in COBOL language. Hence several users think spaced hyphens would work as they tried, "access- date=" or similar to cause even more cite errors. -Wikid77 (talk) 08:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You've completely missed SMcCandlish's point. You should not be changing one working parameter to a different working parameter. If something is wrong by all means fix it, but if it's not broken it should not be fixed. We are not beholden to your preferences for "accurate" coding, and the majority opinion (i.e. from things like MEATBOT andthe MOS) says that changing one parameter to another "just because" is not good. Primefac (talk) 17:49, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You've missed the other half of the conversation, began as a revert by SMcCandlish to re-introduce a cite error caused by hyphen contagion in page "Allegory" as Text "author-link-L. Frank Baum " ignored. However, they are not pointless edits if people learn what I said about problems with excessive hyphens "-" and then revert-the-revert to restore the fix I had made. -Wikid77 (talk) 17:10, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Cut out the OCD gnoming. And I've got a computer science degree from [spectacularly prestigious institution] so please no more about your credentials. <b style="color: red;">E</b><b style="color: blue;">Eng</b> 03:11, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Reverse racism
Greetings. Would you care to provide a reliable source for any of the text in this edit? Besides being garbled text, it looked like blatant original research, so I've reverted it. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 10:05, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Indeed, thanks for noting those issues. I had suspected the text would need much more explanation, and I should have added an entire section+sources to explain the purist focus on the word "racism" as meaning (only) "race-ism" based on a belief in racial supremacy, as if the other meaning of racism was not valid, as meaning prejudice and discrimination based on race. Fortunately, I have found such sources which explain the "word game" of how reverse racism must be a myth because other minorities don't believe they are the master race, and thereby fail to meet definition#1 of "racism" as an academic term based on supremacy. Also, these types of academic matters of semantics do appear to be wp:OR original research because they use nitpicking of terminology which many people would likely perceive as unusual, original viewpoints out-of-touch with common notions about racist actions as merely prejudice based on race, not requiring someone to declare a master race in order to act racist. -Wikid77 (talk) 04:20, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Please stop
Lately I have noticed an uptick in the amount of editing you have done to "fix" what you seem to think is "racist" language or NPOV text. Such instances include Special:Diff/853780512, Special:Diff/853776532, Special:Diff/853863950, and your two recent edits to Trayvon Martin. It has been mentioned previously (also here and here) that you might have an issue with racism and/or Wikipedia's portrayal of it. The consensus seems to be that, regardless of your intentions, your edits are disruptive.

If you feel that an article/paragraph/etc is putting undue weight or focus on racism and/or is not neutrally worded, please discuss it on the talk page before editing. Please consider this a request for a voluntary restriction, though if you continue to be disruptive in this manner I will take it to AN for further discussion (hopefully it doesn't need to get to that point). Thank you. Primefac (talk) 16:20, 13 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Welcome to Wikipedia. Over the past 17 years, there have been numerous instances where articles were incorrect, contained wp:BLP attacks or jokes to insult people, or had incorrect facts. As for Special:Diff/853780512, that edit removed the specific innuendo BLP joke of taking a medication and clarified what the person actually said. In several cases, some people have reverted the edits I made, even to introduce errors or remove the specific new source cites which verified the text as written. If you look at more edits, you will notice hundreds or thousands of other users whose edits have been reverted. It's part of everyday life on Wikipedia. -Wikid77 (talk) 17:10, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, then, you could explain this ridiculous edit. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  17:13, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * But Barr did say that it was due to Ambien; she might have been joking as to the reason why she made the statement, but she still said it. As for your strawman argument, we're not talking about the hundreds of thousands of other reverted edits - we're talking about your edits and a trend of edits that have been recently reverted. Primefac (talk) 17:19, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikid77, I discussed this same matter with you at length back in June. I asked you to stop then but you have persisted with your disruptive and tendentious editing regarding racial issues. I am here to reinforce Primefac's request for you to control your behavior. If you fail to do so, administrators must act to stop your disruption. <b style="color:#070">Cullen</b><sup style="color:#707">328  Let's discuss it  17:46, 13 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Wikid77, you may be aware that your behavior is already under discussion at User talk:Cullen328. You have also made comments like    this one. Please stop making comments about other races or religions. You are already under one editing restriction, and further disruptive editing is likely to lead to further, and wider, restrictions. MPS1992 (talk) 23:21, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

August 2018
Your recent editing history at Trayvon Martin shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.''I'll also note that I've created a discussion here and another user has requested you stop re-adding disputed content here. As an aside from that, your last edit summary was wholly misleading, you weren't restoring sources, you were restoring the exact content that has now been disputed three times.

Template:Location map Croatia-skew
Back in April you created Location map Croatia-skew which generates a link to the red-linked "Category:Location maps using skew". Per WP:REDNOT we shouldn't have links to red-linked categories. The history of that category shoows it was deleted in 2014 because it's "a tracking category that was formerly populated by Module:Location map, but the module no longer does so". I don't pretend to know anything about this other than it's a red link to clear on the Special:WantedCategories backlog; if it was created as a test template can it now be deleted, or should the category be created as being useful in future? TIA Le Deluge (talk) 20:15, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

- question
Hi, I have noticed that you had added suggestions to vital articles talk page at the level 4. Generally it seems to me (per Rregan ) that you were thinkink about technology at the level5, not the level 4, right? If suggestions are related with the level 5 (that computere science is underrepresented at this level), I have ideas (although I do not know is it reasonable?) in which way we could make space for these articles at the technology and without increasing articles from 50 000 to 53 000. Statistics/Wikipedia - Based on this statistics we can see that on Wikipedia there are many articles about throughfares (which are listed at technology, for example Interstate Highway System) and number of articles related with astronomy is similar to number of articles related with chemistry. On that basics it seems to me that we could make new section named: throughfares (moved from technology for space of computer science topics) and instead increasing couts from 50 000 to 53 000, make the same number for astronomy and chemistry. What do you think? Dawid2009 (talk) 16:56, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Previous warnings and block
Hello Wikid77. I have been asked on my talk page to provide links to the behavior that led to my previous warnings to you, and my block last month, and also a link to my June, 2018 warning.

My original warning was in response to a thread called Battle for freedom of speech re Roseanne during which you wrote " In fact to white Americans, the word "nigger" had come to mean a "hardworking servant" rather than an obstinate negro, and a white man might have said about mowing and trimming hedges, "I'll be a yard nigger all morning today" with zero reference to black skin, just the work. Since the "N-word" has been banned, other words have been invented to refer to black people who are organizing against whites (say no more)."

I gave the warning here at your talk page here, where I wrote "The next time you spout racist nonsense on Wikipedia, you will be blocked indefinitely. Conduct yourself accordingly." and also "This is a reminder of established policy and a formal warning: What Wikipedia is not says that "Wikipedia is free and open, but restricts both freedom and openness where they interfere with creating an encyclopedia. Accordingly, Wikipedia is not a forum for unregulated free speech." You are warned to avoid treating Wikipedia as a forum for your personal pet theories about racism and slavery and the meaning of racial slurs. Your comments have been disruptive and tendentious. Any more forum type commentary will lead to a block."

My block on November 21 resulted from a thread called Horrors of a POV-fork page, where you wrote "Well, check the facts of imagined "ill treatment" of African Americans, who actually often lived in the master's house, or had private rooms in the servant quarters of the mansion, or whose children played alongside the owner family, blacks with white children, or were given manumission liberty when the master died, etc."

These quotes of yours are representative samples of a much broader pattern of disruptive and tendentious editing. Other examples have been discussed at AN. <b style="color:#070">Cullen</b><sup style="color:#707">328  Let's discuss it  05:50, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * That last quote probably qualifies for a WP:CIR block right there, but as one reads the linked thread things only get more eye-popping:
 * Thank you for that link about Booker T. Washington, and there are other slave narratives of various slaves whipped, but remember the reports of adventures, joy, and slaves moving back to their owner families in the broader Slave Narrative Collection (from 1937). Life in the U.S. has been hard for many, as even I was whipped and beaten when young because I was slow to read. My brother was stabbed in the head with a screwdriver, but survived. When I was car-jacked by 3 black teenagers in Texas, they kept punching my head, demanding more money, but an elderly black gentleman came to his doorway to yell, "You boys leave that man alone" so they left, then I grabbed my broken eyeglasses from the back seat, and a black girl came to the window and said, "want you to know we're not all like that". Life is hard in the U.S. The 2018 murder rate in Chicago has been 8 per day, but ill-treatment has been relatively rare. Be thankful for the black slaves who worked to protect the Confederacy and kept other towns from being burnt like Atlanta. Those slaves should not be viewed as pitiful but rather heroes who saved the Confederacy, kept books from being burnt until Lincoln died, and then returned to Dixie to rebuild from the ruins and mourn their owner families, most who had died after 1863 in Lincoln's prison camps. Rejoice in the remarkable lives of those 4 million black slaves who became homeless, plus the Northern slaves who faced segregation in chaos. -Wikid77

 * I guess I should have mentioned earlier that I have lived with black people for years. My first college roommate was black. I have black friends, I have worked for black people, and I have hired black people. Your ideas of "racist revisionism" are quite unusual. You seem to be upset by issues of white people and black people living together or working together. I have also worked with black charities in Africa. Maybe the confusion is "racial issues" versus "racist issues" and perhaps WP just lacks enough editors who have lived in mixed-race households. Wikipedia, overall, seems to be falling behind, and the calcification of article pages might be beyond repair at this stage. I hope you can relax and consider how your concerns might be viewed by mixed-race users. -Wikid77 (talk) 03:15, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Wow, I can't believe you mentioned the "Some of my best friends are..." racist trope. Please consider how your comments could be viewed by black users, who see "user Wikid77 being ridiculed because he has black friends" and that just reinforces the view that Wikipedia denigrates people who work with black coworkers. All such issues would seem inappropriate or deeply disturbing to many, so please refrain. -Wikid77 (talk) 19:20, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure, but perhaps he now realized that I am being denounced for "some of my friends...defence" as if using such wording to attack a person for his friends would not be extremely offensive and hurtful to those friends. I am shocked as well. -Wikid77 (talk) 00:24, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * He is shocked that this user would post material during an ANi along the same lines as material that lead to the the ANi. Legacypac (talk) 20:34, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

And I think the material they posted is much worse, such as "some of my friends...defence" (see: ) or "true colors" (when I lived with blacks & whites) so not a funny joke, as far worse than me noting "black slaveowners" (who sometimes bought their own relatives to avoid mistreatment). -Wikid77 (talk) 00:24, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Since nobody has asked, Wikid77 do you have a statement you would like posted during this discussion on ANI? Your voice is noticeable absent and I thought you might have some response to the accusations about your remarks. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 00:27, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

thanks for asking, and please post the following literal wikilinked text, and I'll periodically check ANI for latest remarks:

* "Response from Wikid77: User:Wikid77 here. I'm sorry for all the confusion, and Cullen328 has posted specifics now about the various concerns over my remarks (see talk-page diff: ). In the case where my remark was termed "racist nonsense" about "yard work" then I should have linked the entry ('yard':  ) in Oxford Reference (from Oxford University Press ) to describe the workman as differing from a house servant as one working in the fields, but even then I saw many people did not want that issue discussed on Jimbo-talk as being too public a forum, especially for those unaware the field worker was a historic term, not a pejorative. In the 2nd case, I should have linked more sources, such as page " manumission " for how slaves could buy their freedom with regular payments, especially in Cuba. However, now after reading concerns at wp:ANI, I realize many people do not like discussing slavery on Jimbotalk and instead reach consensus on an article talk-page. "I honestly did not realize there were Wikipedians still here who had checked dozens of books about slavery and wanted to present only the majority viewpoints, rather than present a topic from a range of various sources per wp:NPOV even years ago. I had thought the missing page " Slave weddings " was a tedious omission, to summarize over 10,000 antebellum weddings from U.S. government records, but now I suspect various pages were purposely omitted from Wikipedia, and I need to learn who is doing this and what can be done to bring Wikipedia forward. I had imagined when discussing these pages at Jimbotalk, then someone might say, "Hey, ask at Wikiproject:Weddings" or such, but instead got blocked for "racist revisionism" . Apparently all these slavery topics are tangent to WP racial problems or opposition to wp:NPOV. That might be why WP is decades behind in covering those topics. So tell friends to read specific outside sources, when Wikipedia omits a particular topic. -Wikid77 (talk) 08:12, 16 December 2018 (UTC)"

Thanks, in advance, Liz, for whatever you can post before the deadline. I'm not concerned about the result because WP has become so tedious, it is almost impossible to make major improvements, or weeks later, all effort is reverted, or someone claims how fixes to 1,000 pages are worthless. Perhaps the most valuable achievement is to help others, as you have done here, and advise people to read sources outside of WP. -Wikid77 (talk) 08:12, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Infobox mountain pass/sandbox2


A tag has been placed on Template:Infobox mountain pass/sandbox2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. --TheImaCow (talk) 20:04, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:TV-Lost-in-Space-Volume-1-music-CD-1997-cover.jpg


The file File:TV-Lost-in-Space-Volume-1-music-CD-1997-cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Lost in Space. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE and MOS:TVPRODUCTION."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:50, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
