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)[reply]

• 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)[reply]

  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.

  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)[reply]

  Hawkeye7 - Haven't had time to delve into this but I'm keeping this thread unarchived as a reminder. :) ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 17:52, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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 Wikipedia where such information might appropriately go. Any suggestions?--Martin IIIa (talk) 20:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Martin IIIa do you have a link to the GamePro article? ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 13:17, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bumping thread for 60 days. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 16:30, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agh, sorry it took me so unbelievably long to notice this post! To add insult to injury, no, I don't have a link, just a physical copy of the issue. It's issue 92, cover-dated May 1996, and the articles is on pages 14-15, if that helps at all.--Martin IIIa (talk) 15:48, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ans you wouldn't happen to have a scan? ;D Ben—Salvidrim! ✉ 04:39, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Still something I'm interested in working on. Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 01:15, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Wonder if I am ever gonna write this... here's one more ref https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/02/22/inside-the-nintendo-power-hotline

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 Wikipedia). 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 Wikipedia'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 ^{TT me} 13:19, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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.

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(T) 01:39, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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 Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 14:03, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know you've been less active on Wikipedia 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)[reply]

• 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

• 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)[reply]

  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)[reply]

  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)[reply]

I am restarting the creation of the website for the Silesian School of Iconography. In the near future, I will be attempting to work on it. I will be doing this in my sandbox named Silesian School of Iconography. I don't know if you have access to this text. If you can, please help me. I am very weak at Wikipedia, but I will try. I have dreamed about this for years. Forgive me if I am writing this text to you in an inappropriate place, but this maze of information is difficult. The header says that before I start creating this text again, I should contact you, so I am doing that. Best regards. Like the dewfall (talk) 01:51, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
