Happy editing! I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 12:13, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for you attention but Changes in the article were committed by me according to true transcription from Ukrainian language to English of city «Київ» should be “Kyiv” not Kiev. Writing Kiev instead of Kyiv it’s a mistake which shows supporting of russian imperialism because name “Kiev” was made due to russian occupation of Ukraine. It’s not a vandalism. I hope that you will change your decision. Thank you Oleksandr Stoliar (talk) 15:50, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

I don't agree with you, because it's WP:COMMONNAME Deltaspace42 (talk) 15:54, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Previous account(s)?

Hi Deltaspace42, have you edited under different usernames before? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:21, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I made some edits under IP address, but those were few, no previous usernames. Deltaspace42 (talk) 20:24, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay, that's perfectly fine. I was a bit surprised about the quick and unusual start (complex user page syntax, ~1600 edits in a week after almost exactly to-the-day two years of inactivity). All the best! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:28, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! Deltaspace42 (talk) 20:29, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Nice anti-vandalism work

It is much appreciated! Gilded Snail (talk) 00:20, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Welcomed, but most of the early contributions, I've had to revert. The remaining two *may* be acceptable.Naraht (talk) 15:59, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

IPs allowed to remove warnings from their own talk pages

Hey! I saw that your report one of your reasons for reporting the IP was they kept removing warnings from their own talk page. This isn't a valid reason since this is something they are allowed to do per WP:NOTWALLOFSHAME. Just figured I'd let you know. ― Blaze Wolf_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:40, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

What if they vandalised some page, I reverted it, warned them, and they immediately removed the warning? Deltaspace42 (talk) 19:41, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

It doesn't matter when they removed the warning. THe page I linked above says this: "Policy does not prohibit users, whether registered or unregistered, from removing comments from their own talk pages, although archiving is preferred. If a user removes material from their talk page, it is normally taken to mean that the user has read and is aware of its contents. There is no need to keep them on display, and usually users should not be forced to do so. It is often best to simply let the matter rest if the issues stop. If they do not, or they recur, then any record of past warnings and discussions can be found in the page history if ever needed, and these diffs are just as good evidence of previous matters." In other words, even if they remove the warning, it's not gone as it's still able to be viewed in the page history and therefore removing the warnings isn't considered vandalism. ― Blaze Wolf_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:43, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

OK, that makes sense, thank you. Deltaspace42 (talk) 19:46, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

No problem! I've learned that myself in the past. Keep up the good work! ― Blaze Wolf_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:47, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Blue School, Wells

My IP has hopped a little since you warned me about being civil. That may be so, but how do you justify this provocative and unprecedented behaviour? --92.40.205.192 (talk) 13:54, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Mistakes happen, especially when there is a lot of vandalisms about changing names. So it's rare, but not unprecedented and definitely not in bad faith. Deltaspace42 (talk) 13:58, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

I seem to be back. It was no mistake Deltaspace. There was no need for it. He reverted a batch of edits that landed on mine. He then wilfully "undid" my update of the change in headteacher where I personally go!!!!!! --92.40.205.189 (talk) 14:03, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

You seem to have misunderstood me, I meant reversal of your edit could be mistake. Deltaspace42 (talk) 14:10, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

👍 --92.40.205.189 (talk) 14:22, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Sukavich Rangsitpol

I was going to explain why I deleted the biography because it is fake news his daughter already had legal issues against their political rival team

And now someone removed the correct information 2403:6200:89A8:4378:C1F8:1843:EF99:C037 (talk) 22:40, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

I've reverted the article because there was unexplained removal of the awards and honors section.

Editors who disagree on article content are expected to discuss their arguments on the article talk page here: Talk:Sukavich Rangsitpol. It's done there so that all of the discussion points are in one place rather than scattered across the talk pages of three or more editors. Edit summaries are not a substitute for talk page discussion. Continued reversions without discussion is considered Edit warring: constantly changing an article back to what you think it should be. Please discuss the changes and attempt to reach a consensus with other editors. Blue Riband► 01:43, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Edit warring warning

The last edit here was vandalism since it broke things and repeated text. Reverting vandalism is not 'edit warring'. 103.240.204.88 (talk) 10:38, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed. But I still suggest you make new section on the article's talk page and invite Saintstephen000 there to discuss the problem. Deltaspace42 (talk) 10:41, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

If you do it on the talk page, it will also allow other users to participate in the discussion. Deltaspace42 (talk) 10:42, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

I don't think there a dispute. And I also dont think he is collaborative enough. Look at his response here, which was completely unrelated to the issue I raised. 103.240.204.88 (talk) 10:49, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

If you revert each other's edits, then there is a dispute. Their response is not ideal, but you asked them to just stop reverting your edits, and not invited to discuss the issue.

I suggest you tell them about the reasons of your edits on their talk page before making assumptions about their collaborativeness. Deltaspace42 (talk) 10:54, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

A bowl of strawberries for you!

You are really fast at reverting vandalism. Keep up the good work. Dr.Pinsky (talk) 18:59, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! Deltaspace42 (talk) 20:15, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that this figure was based on calculation. Thanks for clarifying that. Have some strawberries 🍓🍓🍓 from me as well. 103.240.204.88 (talk) 11:18, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

"Unconstructive Edit"

Please don't call it that way. Many Vietnamese have a Sino-Vietnamese name. It's not useless information. It's the same as including the Hanja of a Korean name. It doesn't detract anything from the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.120.22.25 (talk) 10:06, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Your edit removed the date of birth. If it wasn't intentional, you are welcome to re-add Sino-Vietnamese name without removing date of birth. Deltaspace42 (talk) 10:12, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

About Wilf Billington

Being a "professional footballer", which is a specific term indicating significance (means he was good enough to make a living off it) and having played for teams which have articles on Misplaced Pages (and are therefore presumed to be notable) are the two claims of significance in that article. The article claims he played for seven important teams in two countries and six of those have their own Misplaced Pages article. Best, Usedtobecool ☎️ 09:04, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

I would probably agree with the second part (playing for notable teams is a claim of significance), but I don't agree that just making a living off playing football is a claim of any significance (there are more than 100 thousand professional footballers in the world, and if you add people from other sports, then there are just too many of them). Deltaspace (talk • contribs) 09:17, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Respectfully, given you have attempted to CSD A7 multiple articles (incorrectly!), I suggest you consider staying away from footballer articles until you know what you are doing. GiantSnowman 19:49, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman: Sorry, I've been already told by Liz that WP:A7 should not be used on old articles about athletes. I've thoroughly read the criteria and thought that was applicable when I used WP:A7, but yeah, I'm still inexperienced in speedy deletion. I was cautious not to WP:A7 all analogous articles, so I did it only to a few articles about footballers, so I don't think much harm was done.

I will focus more on articles about computing and software in the future since it's closer to my interests.

I also noticed that I've put two articles created by you in quick succession first on speedy deletion, then nominated on AfD, so I understand that you might feel angry. In that case, sorry, I didn't mean to provoke any anger, I'm just gaining experience in article deletion - that is all. Deltaspace (talk • contribs) 20:28, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm not angry, don't worry, thank you though. GiantSnowman 22:31, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

JSSP

I'm the creator of JSSP, and I'm fine with deleting it. There was a little use of the tech even a decade later, but it never gained real significance, and I don't see much from the past six years or so. Way too many attempts to delete articles are problematic, but this one makes sense. —Kaz (talk) 15:53, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello, @Kazvorpal: then the article can be speedy deleted under WP:G7. Deltaspace (talk • contribs) 15:57, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

AfD withdrawals

Hi there! A couple of minor technical points about withdrawing an AfD nomination. It is customary to add a note next to your nomination stating that you are withdrawing it, even if it is clear from the context of the discussion that this is the case. It is also customary to let an uninvoled editor close the AfD, just to make sure there's no appearance of bias. And lastly, when closing a withdrawn AfD, it's important to make sure that all participants support the Keep option. I have no problem with how you closed WP:Articles for deletion/Visit filter, but technically, since my !vote there was Redirect, not Keep, it was supposed to stay open for the full seven days, according to WP:WITHDRAWN. I apologize if my comment we can speedy close this AfD in WP:Articles for deletion/Selfie Type was misleading or ambiguous.

No need to fix either of those closures; no harm done, and no one is going to complain about either. But since non-admin closures are often scrutinized more closely, I just wanted to make sure you are aware of how things are normally done. Other than that, keep up the good work! Your review of sources for science-related articles is just what we need around here. Thank you! Owen× ☎ 19:13, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

@OwenX, OK, thanks, I will add notes before closing the AfD in the future.

About closing the AfD with someone voting Redirect:

WP:MERGE says Any editor can perform a merge. No permission or discussion is needed if you think the merge is uncontroversial; just do it (but it might get reverted). Otherwise, the merge should be first proposed and discussed, as detailed below. So I thought, since I could just redirect Visit filter in the first place, then I could just close the AfD because the only response was Redirect.

I think the rule exists, so that if someone votes Redirect then the nominator can't just close the AfD and not redirect the page afterwards.

But yeah, I'm trying to be really careful about these decisions since I'm relatively new to deletions. Deltaspace (talk • contribs) 19:34, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! You're doing a great job. Owen× ☎ 19:36, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Teahouse

I don't understand the point of this edit diff. You clearly do not have a clue what the problem is, your attempted solution was never going to work, and you posted it below my post, which at least identified the issue. Please only post on that page when you have something useful to say. --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:57, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
