Request of restoration of draft:Engr Babalola Olatunji
Hello please i am contacting you in regard of two things, first my userpage Tommygogd that was brought down and my first draft article Draft:Engr Babalola Olatunji this article was done neutrally , and i have been told to do declare a conflict of interest on my user page which i did, i do not understand why the article was brought down and also my page, this is my first article ever and i am doing this on a neutral point , is it possible for a person who does not have any contribution or whatsover to be paid for creating article, please i am pleading kindly restore the page so i can add more citation or for other contributor to be able to contribute to it , i am already getting discouraged because this is my first contribution and i have put so much effort in it than to be deleted, even if i am not given the priviledge to edit it , at least other contributor can for the sake of my effort.Tommygogd (talk). and if not please kindly restore to my userspace so i can continue to use it to pratice. but I wish you know this can make some of us trying to put effort in Wikipedia sad.
@Tommygogd: I restored the draft Draft:Babalola Olatunji because I failed to notice that it had previously been deleted by Anthony Bradbury as advertising. I see that you have asked Anthony Bradbury for restore. So that is the appropriate procedure. If you rewrite, to improve the tone - do not include text like: "a popular news post", "furthered his career". Also leave off the training courses attended, as that is for a curriculum vitae. Also biographical details such as family should be properly referenced, otherwise it suggests that you know the person and my be outing previously unpublished information. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:39, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Graeme Bartlett: Thanks a lot, you are the most intelligent ones out of all the people that has been denying my post all this while , your explanation and guidline now makes me know all the mistake i made in the article , i cant thank you enought for this insight , because i still wondered what i did wrong in the article , thanks a lot Graeme Bartlett God bless you for this little kinded Tips you gave me , please kindly help me request that Anthony Bradbury restore the draft if you can because he has not responded to me please i will be so glad. i will also do all this information you gave me now and clean up the article better with this guideline Tommygogd (talk) Tommygogd (talk) 22:40, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Graeme Bartlett: hi , i have messaged Anthony Bradbury but he has not replied or even do anything on my comment on his talk page , and according to the wikipedia rules i guess any one of the admin can undo whatever other admin do if you see reason to, please kindly help in restoring my user page and this article if you can please, i dont want to start the article from scratch again after so much work i had put into this, i just want to take my time and edit the article properly till i get it right , then i can now be contributing more to wikipedia on my own without stress , if i have to start all over again i might still make mistake but my previous version will allow me to make corrections and see where my mistakes are because of next time, i am using this to learn and to contribute to wikipedia. thanks , i will be very glad if you can do something about it Tommygogd (talk) 20:36, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would not normally reverse the actions of another administrator outside the policy reasons. I might do so if the action was obviously a mistake. WP:DRV is for the situation you have, where the administrator does not respond. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:27, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request to Undelete Lillee Jean a/k/a Lillee Jean Trueman
Any hope of restoring the wonderful work you were doing on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft_talk:Lillee_Jean_Trueman&action=edit&redlink=1 - she has alot of news worthy articles on her advocacy for cyberbullying (something she is invested in, being a victim herself), as well as environmental issues, and advocacy against anti-semitism? I know someone asked for her page to be created under her stage name Lillee Jean, but I remembered that you had an amazing draft you were working on.
Done – as a draft or Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request. Drafts and Articles for creation are not for the indefinite hosting of material found to be unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you are not Mattm80, and are being paid to promote this person read WP:PAID. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:38, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Blink is the Professor's nephew. He loves to be underground, citing "fresh-air-a-phobia" as his reason, along with being a mole. He is a friendly character who helps Spyro defeat Red the Dragon. Blink is sometimes called "Blinky". Blink is strong and he can do punches and butt bounces. Blink has strong lasers that can defeat most enemies. If the enemies are strong, he can just simply bomb them or zap them with a laser. Blink also has first person targeting goggles, which can detect enemies and can zoom in up to five times than normal (which helps with aiming lasers as well). Blink might say things like "Can I explore below ground?" or "You know I love it down there."
Hi. I hope you are doing well. I was going through my old edits, and realised I had posted quite a few messages to your talkpage. When I read(ed) them again in your archives, it seems that I was kind of rude, and mean to you. I dont remember the reason behind it though. I want to apologise for that. I am truly, very sorry for my behaviour in the past. I hope I didnt mean it back then. I also hope you forgive me. Regards, —usernamekiran (talk)21:14, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thanks. It can be seen in /archive 28. There are many snappy comments from me (I thinkmthey are snappy, not sure how I intended them when I originally posted them). —usernamekiran (talk)21:56, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wojciech Karlowski
Back in March you edited the article on Wojciech Karlowski, rewording a sentence that you considered puffery. It was indeed puffery, and it's not the only example in the article. On checking the history I saw that the article was created by Msciszewianka, and she has made a very high proportion of the edits. According to her user page her married name is Dorota Karlowska, a name that strongly suggests who she is married to, without proving it, of course. In the past I've seen tags on articles suggesting the creator is too closely associated with the subject, but I can't find an example now, and I don't know how to put such a tag. Do you have any advice? Incidentally, although Professor Karlowski is not totally insignificant, I'm surprised that he was considered notable enough to have his own article. Athel cb (talk) 16:47, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Athel cb: you may be looking for these tags: {{coi}} {{connected editor}} which give these banners:
The following Wikipedia contributor may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of this draft. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.
Yes, I am a native Russian speaker. I am not a professional chemisist but respect the subject starting from my classes in the school. As for my recent articles, yes, I have translated many of them from the Russian wiki and added some other info that I managed to find. I do believe that these articles need some professional review, so I am thankful that you are around to fix the mess that I my leave unchecked.
I would also like to add visuals, but I don't know whom to ask for help.
@Lamro: well I am not a professional, but a keen amateur. to draw, look out for ChemSketch. You can load up a smiles string and it can produce a 2D or 3D diagram. Unfortunately it does not output .svg format. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:14, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Digital Journal wikpedia page restored and deleted?
Could you kindly assist in restoring? There is no reason it should be deleted.
Not done – this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital Journal (2nd nomination), it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, Premeditated Chaos (talk·contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. @Chrishogg18: there was a second debate.

Rare Candy is an item found in Pokémon games that is rare (as its name suggests). When used on a Pokémon, the Pokémon will gain experience and go to the next level. Rare Candies are usually found in hidden places, and because they are hard to find they are often used in the Missingno. item duplication trick for the Red and Blue versions (when a player encounters Missingno. or 'M, his or her 6th item will be duplicated). They are also often used in the Pokémon/Item Cloning Trick|Item Cloning Trick for the Gold and Silver versions ([1]). The Master Ball (the rarest item in the Pokémon series) is also often used for these tricks due to its rarity.
Thank you -- is it possible to draftify the two aforementioned article: Animals in The Legend of Zelda series and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker weapons and items? 2005-Fan (talk) 11:20, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I notice that you are the main author of 3 articles on atomic spectroscopy: sharp series, diffuse series and fundamental series, which gave their names to s, d and f orbitals respectively. However there seems to be no article at all on principal series, which gave its name to p orbitals. Do you know if there is any particular reason for the absence of an article on principal series, or is it just that no one happened to get around to writing one? Dirac66 (talk) 16:22, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Dirac66: The reason that I did not write it was that principal series was already existing to a redirect to an unrelated topic. I did not want to just add a useless stub. I thought about writing using the title Principal series (spectroscopy) and added it to my to-do list User:Graeme Bartlett/to do under Spectra topics. You can see the list of things I planned to write on and in the history what I actually did. But I have not done much of that list as I started on geology and now chemistry writings.

Hi Graeme,
I'm Rachel the only female electrical engineer born and raised in Knoydart in Scotland. It's an isolated peninsula, which is not connected to UK's main grid. I saw this battery technology being prototype tested in Knoydart in 2014 an to be honest I have an emotional bond with this battery type as it supported and isolated island community such as ours, which was suffering from fuel poverty. I created this article after conducting lot of literature research and getting in touch with the original inventors. I would be very grateful to you if you can give me some tips to further improve this. You had commented indicating the the article reads like an advertisement. I would highly appreciate if you can indicate which parts you are concerned about, so I can improve it. I started this as a little project, so I can help wikipedia as a reviewer in the future. So this is great experience for me. I have added a problems and criticism section, which I plan to populate in next couple of weeks.
Many Thanks and Thankyou very much in advance.
Rachel

@Rachel.stop.extinction: I assume you are talking about Alkali sulfur liquid battery. Some things to think about: this is an encyclopedia, so put in there what our readers want to know. For example I want to know what substances are used in the electrodes and chemicals and their reactions. I want to know how it can respond within 1 ms to power line changes. How can it be scalable in power? How is it compare to vanadium flow batteries? Some inappropriate text is the bit on what it is "not using". Instead say what it is using. There is a theoretical energy density, but give the actual density for this implementation. "crucial to fight the present climate crisis" is puffery on at least two fronts. Most of the "Invention, awards and inventor" section is promotional in tone. It would be excessive to have that big quote from Society for the Environment, but what is actually factual in that quote should be described in the article. There is quite a lot of "according to" and x "reports". You don't need to mention that unless the statement is controversial, or is opinion. Otherwise just leave it to the reference to identify where the information came from. Also the "Edinburgh energy firm powers up with EDF in Perth innovation challenge" does not mention most of what is in the text it references. (incl 100 million tons).

@Graeme Bartlett: Yes, that was the page I was referring to .Thanks so much for your comments and now it's very clear to me. I agree with all your comments. I will remove all ambiguous and unnecessary text. If you ever get a chance kindly review the page again once I notify you after the changes...Many Thanks Rachel.stop.extinction (talk) 15:10, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Graeme Bartlett: Hi Graeme, thanks again for your guidance to improve this page. I have done a research over a month and have improved the page, addressing all the points you have highlighted above. I have collected, verified and validated a range of technical information about the battery, which the inventors agreed to share with me for sharing publicly. I have removed company names and quotes from other websites. In addition I have removed everything I could think of which were promotional in tone. Would highly appreciate if could do a review and give me some feedback. No hurry and please do when you get a chance ...Many Thanks in advance .

I'm working with an editor on IRC chat about this page now. I agree that it's probably unsuitable content, but I noticed you deleted it and then restored it. --Salimfadhley (talk) 15:18, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It was deleted by Fastily and Liz due to expired draft. I restored it due to request by CompVisExp, not because I thought it was good. It appears that CompVisExp did edit it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:06, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request to reset Draft:The Holy Kingdom of Judah page pre bias opinion rejection
I recently had a page I was editing restored after a justified deletion. I made an edit and summited it for review. The reviewer deleted references then rejected my submission for lack of reference. The deleted references where material and pertinent to why the person was due acceptance.The reviewer unnecessarily destroyed work and now the research is lost. Please restore the page back to piror the bias rejection or if possible review the last submitted page. Thank you. SalihaRosio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SalihaRosio (talk • contribs) 23:44, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SalihaRosio: What appears to be deleted was links to Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and online dictionary, and another online encyclopedia. Since these links are just giving more info on the words you attached them to, they are not really references on The Holy Kingdom of Judah. Instead you should link to the Wikipedia page with [[ ]]. We probably don't need external dictionary links, but if the term is obscure, just explain it in your article. You can link to Slave Coast of West Africa instead of a Britannica article.

Hi Graeme. I'm not quite sure what's going on at File:DingiriBandaWijetunga 1.jpg. This edit overwrote the previously uploaded non-free file with a completely different file and this edit removed the copyright license all together. It might be that the editor-in-question thinks that photos found on an official Sri Lankan government webiste are PD or otherwise freely licensed, but that's not what the source website says. Is a split needed here or can the file just be tagged with {{furd}} to get rid of the replaced version? -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:43, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough and thanks for taking a look. I'll tagged the overwritten file with {{furd}}. Just for reference, there is now also File:DBW-S.jpg which is missing a rationale and is orphaned. If neither of those things are addressed, it's going to end up deleted as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:46, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GHS phrases by module now
I have introduced Module:GHS phrases at the backside of {{H-phrases}} and {{P-phrases}}. There should be no change wrt previous usage & behaviour: same result in the 2600 articles. Also, some new options are introduced, such as:
@DePiep: THanks for the heads up. For that Potassium_ferrioxalate I tried 501c, but it did not work - perhaps 501c is a propriety code. But there seems to be no way to add the extra text as I thought you mentioned. 501=text doesnot work as I hoped. the idea is the extra text only appears when you hover. I also included your omit rules in the javascript translator (User:Graeme Bartlett/monobook.js P-phrasefmt and H-phrasefmt) I use to make the template content from more freeform input. I am responsible for some of the duplicates, but I decided I should look at what I put in there, rather than try to automate a deduplicate. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:14, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Per the GHS setup, the codes are governed by the UN, so we can not add our own text nor propriety text. Full 2021 source is
This is also where the Omit Rules are from (i.e., they are formal too).
- |P264=text is not implemented yet, but anyway does not allow free text. It will only allow for substitute text like
|P264=hands into P264: "Wash ... thoroughly after handling."
- Doing duplicates is no death penalty. We have computers to resolve these. Don't worry. And: let the (future) deduplicate do the job, don't spend time on this.
My .js lets me paste text from other reference lists, and it converts it to the | separated list for the templates to use. It strips out the H and P, but it appears that that is no longer needed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:43, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying. One possible issue though is that the older versions will eventually be deleted per WP:F5 which is almost always not an issue because the versions are essentially the same. In this case, though, the "old file" has been essentially removed and made orphaned by being replaced by a "new different file" which means most likely the original uploader isn't going to end up notified by {{Di-orphaned fair use-notice}} since bots don't tend to issue notifications for {{Orphaned non-free revisions}}. It appears from the file page's history that there might've been some other attempts at overwriting that have been reverted; so, perhaps that will happen this time around as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:23, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It was overwritten yet again by the same editor with another different version of Chucky character, but then was reverted back to its original version by another editor. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:43, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The following is a list of key items in the Final Fantasy series of role playing games produced by Square Enix (originally Square Co., Ltd.). Key Items are objects that can be or is used, but only at specific points in the storyline. Usually a key item has only one purpose in the game and is only expendable at a certain point, and are usually part of the plotline development of the game.
In Final Fantasy VI, the slave crown is a mechanical device used by the Empire to control the wearer's thoughts. When the game begins, the character Terra is wearing a slave crown, but after she comes in contact with the EsperTritoch, she falls unconscious and gets nursed by a man who removes this device, surprised to find how swiftly she has recovered from it.

I thought it was a very bad idea to recreate these templates while the delete of the other Rx templates is still in progress. By having those redirect, it causes the history of many pages to show the speeddy delete notice. It would be much much better to just show a red link. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:37, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That might be a valid argument at RfD, but it doesn't make the G4 deletion any more acceptable, because redirects to speedy deletion templates and r-phrase templates have nothing in common. My reasoning for recreating them was that most speedy deletion templates have a redirect from their two-letter code when there's nothing else competing for that name. * Pppery *it has begun...21:12, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CSD deletion rationale for drafts
Hello, Graeme,
I've started to look over expiring drafts and deleting ones that appear to be an attempt at creating a social media profile like you'd see on Facebook. They aren't article drafts in any way shape or form, but they also aren't really "advertising". They appear to be the result of a very new editor not knowing what an encyclopedia is or what it is for.
The article title is always their name and they have information like their parent's names, their high school and what they want to do after their schooling. So, they have autobiographical information like you would have on a Linked In or Facebook profile but they are often the editor's only edit on Wikipedia. So, somewhere they got the idea that they should create a personal Wikipedia page. I've marked them both as "test edits" and "promotional". If there is even a hint of an actual draft of an article, I leave it to be deleted via G13. I sincerely doubt that any of these editors will return and make a request at WP:REFUND for the return of their draft but I wanted to mention doing this to the admins who regular patrol REFUND in case you come across this combination of deletion rationales. I wish we had a CSD rationale of "attempt at a social media profile page" but we don't so this is my temporary solution. If you have strong objections to this approach, let me know. They just don't seem like pages that should be restored as regular G13s because they aren't article drafts that will ever be moved to main space.
Well this sounds also like too much information disclosure from a minor. If I notice an article on someone under 18, I will decline to restore, especially if it's an autobiography. I will treat such a G2 G11 deletion as final. Maybe even needs an oversight. Happy Christmas to you too @Liz:. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:47, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2025!
Hello Graeme Bartlett, may you be surrounded by peace, success and happiness on this seasonal occasion. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Sending you heartfelt and warm greetings for Christmas and New Year 2025. Happy editing, RV (talk) 04:14, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is a minor issue, but you have made a number of recent edits with the edit summary "clean stripmarker error", such as this one. I don't understand what this means for editors. Should Template:CO2 not be used? Has it been or is it about to be deprecated? Or should it just not be used in some specific circumstances? Does the same apply to other companion templates, such as Template:CH4? — Epipelagic (talk) 00:15, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Epipelagic: These templates are currently incompatible with cite templates and are causing that stripmarker error in the references section. I have proposed that the CO2 template should not use CHEM2 template, as that is what is causing the "templatestyles stripmarker in" error. But the same issue is in all those templates like H2O H3O CH4. The discussion that triggers these edits is at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry#Help needed, so please join in. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:34, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that. I'm aware these templates don't work in cite templates, but many of the reversals you made didn't involve cite templates. — Epipelagic (talk) 02:09, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I use a regular expression matcher that changes all of them. {{CO2}} to CO<sub>2</sub>. I really dislike chem2 (and chem1) because of many problems, so at any convenient opportunity I will change them to use sub mark up. If CO2 template changes to not use chem2 template, then this change will not be needed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:31, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Graeme Bartlett! I've nominated you (along with all other active admins) to receive a solstice season gift from the WMF. Talk page stalkers are invited to comment at the nomination. Enjoy! Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}}talk ~~~~~
I will leave it protected. There were over 1000000 views in the last month, and troublesome editing in the last week. Please use the talk page to suggest changes. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:25, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
chem2 and find
Hello. Have you tried using ctrl-F to search for a chemical formula recently? chem2 test: CoCl3, chem: CoCl 3. Chem2 works for me, but not chem. Christian75 (talk) 16:19, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly fails WP:NCHURCH. No mention to be found anywhere of this denomination outside of its website; no mention in the 2009 Melton's encyclopedia of American religions or in Google books or Google scholar.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/National Catholic Church of America until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
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.
On 5 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Loess Plateau, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that one of the largest and thickest loess plateaus in the world is the Loess Plateau(pictured) in China? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Loess Plateau. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Loess Plateau), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
hmm, my guess would be probably not? Just off memory, I think it got that number over a 24-hour span instead of a half-day hook, so it only counts for half the number of views per hour (the threshold is 416+2⁄3). theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 09:30, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Draftified – the page has been restored to the draft space at [[{{{2}}}]]. Draft:List of Kirby powers Draft:Green Greens Draft:Fountain of Dreams (Kirby). Also Pop Star (Kirby series) done. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:08, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject.
Not done – this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital Journal (2nd nomination), it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, Premeditated Chaos (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. @Chrishogg18: there was a second debate.
