Hi Salvidrim! | |||
== ] moved to draftspace == | |||
I would like to thank you for your help with Billy Christmas. How great that you are a French Canadian! My mother was French Canadian. No, I'm not trying to suck up. I'm just stating the facts. Marcelle Hudon married my father William Christmas in 1938. They immigrated to the United States in 1946 on my second birthday. Back then French Canadian women were told not to teach French to their naturalized American children, so my brother and I grew up woefully monolingual. Thank God, that has changed. Anyway, thanks again for your help. I will try to make my article more "neutral" without taking the juice out of it. I hope you can work more on my articles. I loved what you did to the table. You do excellent work. | |||
An article you recently created, ], is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from ], ] in order to show it meets ]. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.<small>(])</small> Information that can't be referenced should be removed (] is of ] on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to ] (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's ] and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.] <sup>]</sup> 13:19, 21 May 2023 (UTC) | |||

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)

- 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)

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)

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:15, 24 May 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? – PeeJay 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. – PeeJay 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)

User:Salvidumbass!
Hello, Salvidrim!,
A sockpuppet created this User page and a User talk page, claiming it to be one of your alternate accounts. Is this true? Or would you like them to be deleted? Liz 02:28, 9 November 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). The weirdo actually tried to move the content (aka nothing) to User:Salvidumbass which is a non-existant account. It's just weird shenanigans. Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 05:53, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Deimos Rising coverart.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Deimos Rising coverart.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:09, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
