When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)

If someone wants to recreate an article which was deleted/redirected through an AfD discussion, what is the process. I don't think DRV is the appropriate venue, since they are not saying the close was inappropriate. The discussion in question is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Star Vijay Music, which you closed back in October. I didn't participate in the discussion, but different editors, with very low edit counts, continue to try to recreate it, and I keep restoring the redirect as per your close, see here. One of the editors has finally reached out to me about the process. Thanks. Onel5969TT me20:18, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! Usually, when I am asked why I deleted something and what can be done, I suggest creating the article in the draft space, where it can then be reevaluated by an uninvolved editor. I am directing people to DRV only when they claim the closure was not done correctly/wrong outcome or something. I think draft is the best approach in this case. --Tone05:53, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Tone. I recently discovered an article had been deleted a few months ago, which I think was the right decision for the article as it existed at the time, but I think I might be able to write a version demonstrating notability. Would you be willing to restore High Street, Melbourne (AfD here) to my userspace so I can get a solid recollection of the content that existed and use it as a jumping-off point for a notability-demonstrating mainspace-friendly version? Vaticidalprophet03:24, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You also appears to be operating on two AfD's simultanously or in quick succession which makes it harder to backtrack links the were removed. I am concerned about the removal of [1] which I contest was an inappropriate deletion. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 21:42, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The outcome of the discussion was to delete, but I can either userfy or draftify, whichever you prefer, if you plan to work on it. As for the link removal, once the AfD was closed, that would be a red link and those are not particularly welcome in such listings. If you get the article in shape, you can revert that edit ;) Let me know. --Tone21:48, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Tone, I'd prefer and will steward a draftification if that OK with you thanks (I alway like to think elseone might like to work on it and also to avoid any CFORKs). The link removal could be replaced, de-red linked if appropriate and from memoery the link I added to the article was possibly suitable. I could decide to DRV on the basis a merge was possible but in general I'll leave it on by too be worked on drafts. In retrosepct Transwiki (aaagh)and merge merge might also have been possible on this one but I'll raise a DRV (new information come to light) if necessary on that one, I've already spent too much time XfD's at the moment and it affects by RL and WP mood. Please ensure the talk page is restored as well: it is part of my belied article and talk pages are married and should almost never be sepparated. Thankyou.

Hi Tone! I saw that you closed the deletion discussion for the article Harron Walker (I never saw that article, but I watch Torrey Peters and noticed the XFDcloser link removal). I wanted to leave you a quick note because I know that Walker is a trans woman, and noticed that the only delete !vote aside from the nomination referred to her using the pronoun him. This is not an easy mistake to make given that the editor in question claimed to have searched for sources, and every mention of Walker I could find uses she/her pronouns. I'm not taking issue with your closing of the deletion discussion, and despite not having seen the article I think that the outcome was probably the right one based on policy, but in the future I hope you'll keep an eye out for things like this and potentially disregard opinions and comments if [you] feel that there is strong evidence that they were not made in good faith per WP:ROUGHCONSENSUS. ezlevtlk ctrbs08:08, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Akcnowledged, though I believe the pronoun itself played no role in determining the notability, as the search was probably carried out by name. --Tone08:39, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We understand this page was deleted but there are new citations and developments that would have bolstered notability. Is there a way I can have a chance to review the page and make edits? Thanks.101.2.167.17 (talk) 15:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I wanted to tell you directly that I think the use of the term "abuse" to describe your action is a gross exaggeration and unfortunate. I don't care that it was pulled but your action was in good faith. 331dot (talk) 15:24, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.
Hey Tone - I certainly agree that not all School Board members should get a page but absolutely disagree on having media coverage as a prerequisite.

IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Hello, I hope you are well. I was looking up an author whose book I just finished reading and found that the page had been deleted. Brent Olson, an author from Minnesota, is an agricultural journalist and novelist, and I think the deletion was an error. Agricultural journalism may not be everyone's idea of high art, but within the agricultural journalism world, he is quite well known and has won numerous awards. He has a syndicated column published by DTN and has been featured in a Magazine called "Living the Country Life" as a regular columnist. He has won several American Agricultural Editors Association Awards:
- Best Regular Column
-Best Humorous Article
-Best Editorial Comment
-Best Team Story
- Master Writer
He has published 8 books including 4 compilations of his columns, a memoir, and 3 novels, all of which are sold at every major retailer and have excellent reviews on Goodreads. He won the Merit Award for Best Regional Book from Midwest Independent Publishers Association and received a Bush Foundation Fellowship in 2012. He has been the keynote speaker for several large organizations including the National Association of Rural Mental Health Professionals, College Theological Convocation, Saskatchewan Pork Producers, and The Institute of Theological and Interdisciplinary Studies.
Brent Olson has done commentary for the StarTribune, Living the Country Life, Successful Farming, Farm Jornal, Methodist Reporter, Minnesota Farm Guide, Agrologisk (The Journal for Danish Agriculture), and the Northern Star.
I provided a sampling of press about him. While it is regional to Minnesota, it is by no means his "local paper" as suggested by the editor who originally flagged it. The StarTribune and the St. Paul Monitor, for example, are the largest papers in the largest cities in Minnesota and on the opposite side of the state from him.
You should reconsider. While Midwest Agrigriculture may not be of global importance, within his field he is extraordinary and noteworthy. Thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmschutz21 (talk • contribs) 04:27, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! The article was deleted following a discussion, where the consensus was clear. The way to go forward here is to create a WP:DRAFT and have it evaluated by the editors there, if it is good, it will be moved to article space. Good luck! --Tone07:02, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
I am missing a key info. Where is this pdf? If it is on some web server, you can cite it using cite web. If it is in some repository, you can still cite it this way.

Hello, I'm wondering why you deleted the Wiki page for Joe Gray Actor which I created years ago. I am his nephew and spent many hours uploading the info. My Wiki name is Ophthalmic. I have forgotten my password so can't log in. I am awaiting a new password from Wiki. 75.74.41.38 (talk) 21:11, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! So, I had a second look. The issue is the sourcing. The only source directly about the person just lists the movie appearances (uncredited). The rest are passing mentions and a newspaper notice about the funeral. So, the sources do not establish notability, as the discussion pointed out. If you can find more good third-party sources, the article can probably be improved. Tone11:40, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the writer Henry Miller considered Joe Gray his best friend in America when he returned from Europe. He wrote an entire chapter (I believe about 25 pages) about him in his "My Bike and Other Friends". The glamor photographer Peter Gowland, a close friend has photos of him on his website. He had a movie career of 35 years and doubled Dean Martin in almost every film Martin made. He did have a few credited movie roles, "Flesh and Fury" with Tony Curtis is one I can think of off hand. And several Dead End Kids comedies. He also was a good friend of George Raft and Frank Sinatra and appeared in many of their films. He also contributed and appeared in the documentary "The Henry Miller Odyssey", directed by Robert Snyder. If you do a Google Book search his name is discussed in several books. 75.74.41.38 (talk) 18:25, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's what I wanted to see! But it is up to the author of the article to provide good quality sources, not up to the editors. If you are willing to work on the article further, I can restore it. Sounds good? Tone19:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I worked on the Joe Gray (actor) Wiki page and added about 6 references and an external link but have had great difficulty assigning the references to the statements as you required for sourcing. I tried for hours but couldn't get a little number in parenthesis to appear. I also added sourcing which was required for Mack Gray his brother also an actor who is hyperlinked but was again unsuccessful in linking the sourcing to the statements in the biography. Please let me know if it needs more work. Thanks. Gauntlet41 (talk) 23:02, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is looking better and more sourced. Nice job. However, I will leave it to the third-party editor to decide if it is ready to be moved to the mainspace, since I deleted it in the AfD process, I wish to remain neutral here. Tone20:07, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you are well. I was hoping to get a further explanation as to why my page was deleted. I have directed and produced shows for Hulu, Lifetime, SYfy, and Netflix to name a few. I have starred in a large body of films, guest stared on multiple television shows like Z nation and NCIS, and I was a significant voice in gay media as an editor/writer for several publications including gay sports, and I was a national level ice skater. As a gay filmmaker and performer with a successful career I think it is important that I am added back into the database because I represent an often under represented group of people and I have made a significant contribution to film, stage and television.
I am hoping you will reconsider my deletion. I understand that not everyone is on wikipedia, but many of my contemporaries like Peter Stickles, David Shae, Fred Olen Ray, Tristin Mays, Jeremy Luke etc. do have pages so I was wondering what the distinction was.
I appreciate your time, and hope that after you look at some of the links below you will reconsider!
Hi! The article was deleted following a discussion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dylan Vox. As you see, the discussion highlighted the lack of reliable and non-trivial sources. Usually in such case, I'd suggest moving the article to draft space and to allow time for improvement but working on articles about oneself is strongly discouraged. --Tone09:48, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I was wondering if you would reconsider you Keep close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Piet Mollin. The claim that sources are likely to exist was based on the fact that the subject is a Nazi concentration camp survivor with no actual sources provided or mention of where they might be found. There is no policy or guideline that supports keeping an article with the hope that notability can be demonstrated in the future (that's what draftspace is for), and WP:NRV requires any assertion that sources exist to be supported by "verifiable evidence" which we do not have here. Perhaps a relist would be appropriate with a note that actual sources are needed? –dlthewave☎12:42, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are mostly fine, though I'd remove Nova24, Domovina, and Požareport as they are not seen as neutral and thus are inappropriate. Try instead Delo, Dnevnik, Večer, RTVSlo, which are among the most respected mainstream media.

Hi there Tone. For the most recent close, could you elaborate there on the role of strength of argument, if applicable, and whether any !votes were discounted. Thanks in advance.—Bagumba (talk) 00:30, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The original close was the "no consensus" with not much other detail, and you followed by stating above: "I have no strong opinions here", when asked to reevaluate. Was it stil the case that you don't have a strong opinion? And I'd be interested if my and others' opinion on certain arguments needing to be discounted had any merit or not, and why. Thanks. —Bagumba (talk) 10:55, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The "I have no strong opinions" was about reverting the closure - if anyone was willing to do another evaluation, they were welcome. But not much has changed since.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the inconvenience :) - OtharLuin (talk) 16:17, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! At a quick glance, this already look really nice and well structured. I'd use the formal table style with row syntax (look at some of the WHS lists for example). Perhaps it is better to start the first column with the name and then the picture? Also, it is advisable to use the alt text for pictures, even though this will typically be "a large metallic trophy cup with two handles" or similar. Another possible hint, maybe you could shade the name of the trophy field instead of using a separate column, it will save some space. In the new layout, horizontal space now comes at premium. I'll look at the text more in detail another time. Hope that helps :) Tone13:41, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi thanks for the feedback! On the question of the images, I had made the choice to put them first since the names of the trophies are not stated at the awards ceremony, so I think most people will look for the trophy by its appearance. As for the rest, I think I'll have to do some research and refine the presentation. Thanks again! - OtharLuin (talk) 15:03, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I noticed that on July 29, 2023, you undid my revision of the page List of World Heritage Sites in Ukraine, with the reason being that "the standard style in these lists is to use regions/districts, not exact cities." And yet, the current page clearly does not follow this style: some sites are listed as located in individual cities (Historic Centre of Lviv, Historic Centre of Odesa, etc), some in second-level divisions (Bakhchysarai Palace, Sudak Fortress, etc), and others in first-level divisions. One site doesn't have a location at all - it just says "several sites." So, for the sake of consistency, which of these should be used? Shwabb1 (talk) 15:37, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. I guess I started following a more strict standard later. Usually I go with the first-level division, such as state or province, whichever is higher. For Ukraine, that would be Oblast. Feel free to modify on this front, otherwise I will have a look when I find some time :) Tone16:04, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
