Gay Asians of Toronto Revert

Hi! I appreciated your input. However, I was actually trying to delete the some of the information on that section, since some of the editors think its coattracking. Let me know if this is a good idea or not, but for now, I want to leave it off and just provide the most essential part of the section which relates to the article itself. Good day. Looking forward for your response! Jana.borras (talk) 02:11, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

@Jana.borras: No problem, since nobody else has reverted I'll leave it be. I suggest making sure that you make sure you use meaningful edit summaries for all such reverse to reduce the chances they'll be mistaken for vandalism as in this case; there should be a setting in your preferences menu somewhere that'll pop up a warning if you forget to enter one.

Alex Gilbert Article

Hi!

I was wondering if you can check out this here Misplaced Pages:Help_desk#Alex_Gilbert_Article. I have improved this article Draft:Alex Gilbert. When do you think I should resubmit to the Deletion Review? Thanks!

I have added and detailed all the references on the Draft Article below! I just need your opinion and help as I want to get this to the mainspace without it being deleted. Before when YES it wasn't notable for Misplaced Pages it was deleted. Though the article now has gone through massive improvements!

Thank You! --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 22:39, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

@DmitryPopovRU: I'm not sure that I'm the best person to ask about this, as I wasn't involved in the DRV and I do have some strong views on this topic. Can you indicate which references are new since the article was deleted? Generally speaking it's not quantity that is the issue, it is quality. A single good source is worth a thousand brief mentions. Lankiveil 05:17, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Lankiveil I am still adding new references etc. The ones I have highlighted above.. most of them are new. The old AFD was from 2014. Thanks! --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 19:55, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

@DmitryPopovRU: At a brief glance they look okay, but I don't know whether they'd be good enough for the article to survive another deletion discussion, which is almost inevitable given the recent DRV discussion concerning this article. My advice is to park it in the draft space, work on some other articles for a bit, and come back to this in 6-12 months to see if the community's appetite has changed.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

TNNT3

Hi Lankiveil. Could you please restore the reference format as the numbered fashions as I just edited? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Transactivator (talk • contribs) 04:25, 28 November 2015 (UTC) @Transactivator: What are you actually trying to do there? Due to the lack of edit summaries, it looks like you're just removing the references wholesale from the article? Lankiveil 04:31, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Sorry about the sausage thing, I'm still trying to get used to s few things on here and was testing a few things out.When I tried to change it again to a grey tabby cat...Somebody gave me another warning when it was true!Tarder sauce does have a grey tabby father Doctorpanda8 (talk) 22:26, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

@Doctorpanda8: This is fine, please in the future if you want to do editing tests, I suggest your sandbox as a venue so it doesn't get mistaken for vandalism. As for the extra info about Grumpy Cat, you're welcome to put it in but you'll need to provide a reliable source so that readers can confirm for themselves it's true. Happy editing!

E-cigs

If you're still the (or a) clerk handling that case's management, I have three post-closure requests.

Case needs a shortcut (I would suggest WP:ARBEC); I'm sure we'll be referring to it frequently, as the heat in that article space has not abated even slightly.

Template:Ds/alert needs a code for it ("ec" is available).

I would also appreciate it if that Ds/alert were delivered to User talk:Mystery Wolff, per recent battlegrounding behavior at Talk:Electronic cigarette. This is a "new" editor who quotes policy left and right, and has already attracted sockpuppet suspicions, is revert warring with an agenda, and doing little on the talk page but creating unnecessary (and unnecessarily snide and combative) disputes, as well as exhibiting serious WP:COMPETENCE problems. I went to deliver the Ds/alert myself, but found I could not, for lack of a case code. At least under the present name, this editor was not a party to the case, and thus is "immune" from DS for now for their current behavior, and can't be made "aware" until the template has a code for this case, due to the Ds/alert red tape system.

PS: I did not receive a notice that the case had closed despite being a party (though not one addressed in a remedy); I didn't find out until after an ARCA had been filed and an AE, too.  :-)

@SMcCandlish: I can handle these. These are usually handled during close, so I'll finish them off. L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 16:25, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
@SMcCandlish: Done. For the future, the clerks' noticeboard is a good place to post requests of this type. Thanks, L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 16:36, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
@L235: Ah so! I did not know that NB even existed. LOL.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ⱷ҅ᴥⱷ≼  22:49, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks User:L235. For future reference now that the case has closed, you can contact any clerk for assistance (although the NB is the best venue), although of course I'm happy to help. Lankiveil 23:07, 29 November 2015 (UTC).
