	== I'm trying to help you ==

	But these problems frustrate me, and that people refuse to think about what I'm saying is even more frustrating. I'm not asking you to take my word for anything.

	:I've read what you said. I understand your point about the risks of using non-libre software. My point is that you are hurting yourself trying to fight a tiny battle when the entire war has been lost a decade ago. Privacy is dead. Everybody carries a surveillance device everywhere, every word you say or type, everywhere you go, all of your data is stored on countless servers. That's how the world goes. Putting disclaimers on stuff will not effect even the tiniest bit of change. The only truly private place is inside your brain (for now). So enjoy the privacy of your thoughts while you still can. <span style="background:black;padding:1px 4px">] ]</span> 11:03, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

	== ] + unsalt request ==

	Hello {{u\|Salvidrim!}}, I wanted to ask you about a draft I've been working on. I've seen your responses in AfDs with other YouTube gaming personalities like ] and ] and felt it was pertinent to ask you about this, seeing as how it's another case of an internet personality's notability.

	I was wondering if you could check out this draft of Vinesauce. The draft had been declined multiple times last year due to a lack of notability; editors kept adding either unsourced material or poorly sourced information leading it to be rejected. For the record, was what it looked liked before I fixed the draft with new RSs. These past few weeks I've been rewriting the draft with much better sources, mostly from ] and I wanted to ask if you could make an unofficial review/read of it. If you want to see the best sources in the draft, check refs #2 ('']''), #5 ('']''), #16 ('']''), and #20 ('']''). I think there should be enough sources for the group to pass ] and ], but what are your thoughts?

	Also, since you're an administrator, may you please unsalt the ] title if you do find them notable enough? This way submitting it via AfC would be much easier. The original admin who salted it doesn't have admin privileges anymore, so I figured messaging someone who edits gaming pages would be apt at doing this. I feel this is appropriate given that more secondary sources do exist for them beyond the ones in the draft, enough to establish their notability.

	Thanks,
	] (]) 06:00, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
	*I also haven't been an admin for a couple of years now. As for the draft, there's some nice SIGCOV but most of the references are not ''about'' Vinesauce as a group or about Vinny specifically, so that might put a damper on things. <span style="background:black;padding:1px 4px">] ]</span> 10:34, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
	*:Oh, my apologies then. And yes, that was honestly one concern I also had as well; there wasn't a secondary source I could find yet solely based on their history like the Game Grumps. I figured that focusing on how outlets described their videos would be enough to suffice per WP:WEB. Anyways, thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it. ] (]) 23:06, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Paralympic project

Since you are bilingual, I was wondering if you would be interested in translating a couple of small articles in French for me? Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:28, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Sure! I won't commit to any ETA because my I'm a gold medalist in lazy procrastination but toss me what you need and I'll get it done eventually! :D ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 22:03, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
No deadline! Thank you! Take your time. The articles are small: Maude Jacques and Cindy Ouellet. I sometimes forget that not all Canadians can speak English very well. But these two can. In fact, Maude was translating for me in Beijing. I tried auto-translating one once, but they delete unless the French is perfect, and mine's terrible. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:17, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
I'll be honoured to work on the articles! The most complicated thing will be to figure out the frwiki versions of the various templates used. ;) ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 14:43, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Game hint lines

I came across an article in GamePro about live game counselors and 900 hint lines which has one or two useful pieces of info. The trouble is, I can't seem to find an article on Misplaced Pages where such information might appropriately go. Any suggestions?--Martin IIIa (talk) 20:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

There's probably enough coverage to convert Nintendo Power Line into a broader concept of Video Game hint lines, of which the most famous was the Nintendo Power Line: Kotaku, A.V. Club, the line was revived for the NES Mini launch (Engadget, CNet, Polygon), Wikia (unusable as a source but can be used as a base for research), featured in The Wizard, that time when one number was bought by an sex company (N4G, NBC, Wired), Gamasutra, Felicia Day biography, Geek.com, Sierra Hint Line (this is an archive of 1989 Sierra Magazine), Sega, Konami also had their own Hint Lines. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 20:55, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Evil Stone moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Evil Stone, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 13:19, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!
Hi Salvidrim!! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! CAPTAIN RAJU 01:39, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Evil Stone

Hello, Salvidrim!. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Evil Stone, 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 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 Misplaced Pages. FireflyBot (talk) 14:03, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi

I know you've been less active on Misplaced Pages lately, so I'm not sure if this will mean much to you. But I wanted you to know that I now think the Committee was overly harsh in desysopping you in 2018. If you could see yourself ever back actively and happily adminning, let me know if you'd ever want to talk about the path to becoming a sysop again. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 21:20, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @L235:, I won't lie, I've been thinking about it recently! I've stayed a bit out of sight of patrolling the admin/community boards but I wouldn't consider myself inactive, I still edit here and there every week. Also, I don't necessarily think the desysopping was unwarranted, although I do miss the gnoming/clerking work I was able to so back then. I'm definitely open to returning to active duty if you think the community will support it! Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 23:11, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

If the result of the previous AfD was "delete", surely this article should not exist and its re-creation should be eligible for PROD? – Pee Jay 11:57, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @PeeJay:, unfortunately, as per policy, an article subject is **ineligible for PROD if it has even been PRODed or AfD'ed in the past**. WP:PRODNOM. Note that if the new article is substantially identical, CSD#G4 may apply, which an administrator can evaluate by viewing deleted revisions (but considering the decade in-between I doubt that it meets the "substantially similar" threshold of the usual post-AfD recreations). Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 12:27, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Frustratingly, I can't see what the deleted version of the article looks like to compare. Do you know any way to do that? Happy to nominate under CSD#G4 if valid, otherwise I think this would definitely fail an AfD. – Pee Jay 23:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi, only admins can view deleted revisions. But considering the decade in-between I doubt that it meets the "substantially similar" threshold of the usual post-AfD recreations anyways. Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 23:33, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes that is an alt account I own (even though I don't use it lol, I think 10 years ago I got inspired by Bishzilla :p).
