Hi I have been declining many g13 nominations, because the page has never been in WP:AFC. Drafts created from scratch, or moved from article space are not eligible for G13 delete (unless with AFC template added by writer). However some pages were blanked by author, always blank, were nonsense or obviously a test edit, which have their own speedy delete codes. Please read Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion carefully. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:41, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
"that are using the project's {{AFC submission}} template"line at WP:G13. I would have thought the template was either on automatically or wasn't necessary. Thanks for the explanation. Chris Troutman (talk) 04:15, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I was wondering about your move of the above from draft to mainspace. This is clearly a draft which is far from complete being only a list of presenters and containing no details of programming etc. and has more or less been abandoned by the original author. There is also no parent article, although the creator of this draft attempted to write one some months ago but it was re-directed to the BBC Sport page. Just by way of background this draft was created by an IP-hopping editor well-known to the Wiki F1 project who also edits under the username 'Rowde'. Having spent 18 months trying to create articles for F1 cars which fail notability he has more recently turned his attention to TV coverage of the sport, creating pages for "X (form of motorsport) on Y (broadcaster)" which would, if accepted, produce dozens (at least) of pages. However several have been deleted as What Wikipedia is not, WP:NOTDIRECTORYorWP:NOTTVGUIDE. The template as it stands has little use, so is it possible for it to be restored as a draft where it could be deleted as abandoned after six months or would TfD be the more appropriate way to deal with it. Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 16:48, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi Avicennasis, please allow me to get in touch with you because you have stated sympathy with environmental causes on your user page. I would like to invite you to check out the Environmental impact project page on Meta, where I am trying to create some momentum to reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. My first goal is to have all the Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy. Maybe you could show your support for this project as well by adding your signature? Thank you, --Gnom (talk) 19:28, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi there! It seems that last week you added a large number of director subcategories to Category:Films by director. However, none of these have the correct sort tag on them, so they are all coming up under "F". Do you know if this is fixable by bot? --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:13, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi! Hope you don't mind me nitpicking over your signature. It contains invalid HTML that throws off syntax highlighters. If you don't mind, could you kindly change it to the following? It will render exactly the same as your current signature:
[[User:Avicennasis|<sup style="color:red">Avic</sup>]][[User talk:Avicennasis|<sub style="color:blue">ennasis</sub>]] @
I'm curious how you got the Jewish calendar to show, but at any rate that's not throwing off the syntax highlighters, so no problem there :) Thanks! — MusikAnimal talk 20:22, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
I've declined the speedy histmerge, as they are (or were) two separate articles which have been merged. I believe the appropriate fix is to move Wikipedia:Social mobility back to Intergenerational mobility and note the merge on the talk page. I'll set about doing this, unless you think I've missed something. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:30, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello Avicennasis/MainArchive,
We now have 808 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Hello! Thanks for reviewing my pages, but I'm not really sure what that means—you also reviewed some pages which are not done, such as User:Psiĥedelisto/Penal Code of Spain, and User:Psiĥedelisto/Q tails has already become Q#Typography. I hope that especially I won't be penalized for the in-translation article User:Psiĥedelisto/Penal Code of Spain because of course it violates WP:NONENGLISH...the translation is not even close to done. Once again thanks, but if you don't mind explaining a bit more what you actually did, I'd appreciate it Psiĥedelisto (talk) 00:41, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
Where did you find the Skywarn Spotter ubx, I am a spotter also and would like to use it. - ZLEA (talk) 01:55, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
When someone cleans half your backyard, do you spread the dirt he gathered back where it came from and tell him to do it again and this time do it right? Some people... --Hob Gadling (talk) 23:47, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I am wondering why you stopped my article on advanced bionics without explaining why. On the talk page for Sonova someone says that the largers divisions of Sonova (i.e, Advanced Bionics) merit their own article. Why did you eliminate it? It is notable, they are the second leading producer of cochlear implants worldwide.PlanespotterA320 (talk) 11:31, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Avicennasis. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, post here, or just let me know. Thank you, and happy editing! — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 07:03, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
It's not a dublicate, please revert it back! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.35.231.234 (talk) 19:46, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Why are you going to delete this article stop it. I put a ref to and I hope this article is saved. 2600:8803:7A00:19:F9E8:259A:179F:F5C1 (talk) 19:29, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
Your last chance to nominate yourself or any New Page Reviewer, See Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Coordination. Elections begin Monday 20 February 23:59 UTC. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:17, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello Avicennasis/MainArchive,
Voting for coordinators has now begun HERE and will continue through/to 23:59 UTC Monday 06 March. Please be sure to vote. Any registered, confirmed editor can vote. Nominations are now closed.
We now have 808 New Page Reviewers but despite numerous appeals for help, the backlog has NOT been significantly reduced.
If you asked for the New Page Reviewer right, please consider investing a bit of time - every little helps preventing spam and trash entering the mainspace and Google when the 'NO_INDEX' tags expire.

Hello, Sorry but as we discussed here about inactive bots, so if your bot still inactive inactive (until 5 March 2017) I'll remove Bot permission. Thanks--Alaa :)..! 16:39, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
Just a heads up that I fixed a bug in your talk page header that led the search box to run the search with a prefix of '"`UNIQ--nowiki-00000002-QINU`"'. — Train2104 (t • c) 00:47, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
