Hello, I see you had requested a page I made for speedy deletion, however, I had created this page in the first place again because it was originally deleted falsely despite discussion members giving solid reasons why the page is valid. To emphasize this, I ensured to site many reliable sources including Billboard.com. Could you please read my response that I contested your speedy deletion, as this artist is someone whose performances I have bought tickets for and attended and he has an international presence with 100,000s of followers of his work.

My dear friend
I did not think it was necessary to wheel war over AN/I discussion closure; for this case, it was fine; but when are you going to run for RfA? Hundreds of us have been asking you and perhaps, GreenMeansGo. Alex Shih (talk) 20:26, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Alex Shih: Look: I really must apologise about the ANI close. I assure you—no excuse that it is—that I didn't realise that You had already closed it, that SoV had re-opened it, and then I turned up in size thirteens :) I saw the thread, went to the RfC, saw you'd closed that, and went back to the ANI thread... and closed it :o I'm afraid you and "hundreds" of others are now in the company of someone who didn't check the page history. A page one error! -and one which I will be rightfully condemned for. Sorry about that. Hope SarekoV didn't think I was stepping on their toes too. wel, clearly i did; but not deliberately.

But—if you don't mind me giving an alternate example—if I came to your talk and said something like "I think you should lay off the drink, your argument's so crap", or somesuch (!!!) you'd (rightly) drag me to ANI for casting aspersions—or, possibly?—revert as trolling :) but we've always got on well, we've collaborated well, and—as I have from Johnbod, as I said—you're one of a Gang of

Don't burn bridges over words. Mr rnddude (talk) 09:04, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- What second sentence is that, Mr rnddude? ——SerialNumber54129 12:57, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- The second sentence of my comment: "One of my closest friends", to be specific. The point is that we're still friends despite having had some sour words for each other in the heat of the moment. That the complete fallout here needn't have happened. Mr rnddude (talk) 13:36, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- Mmmm. It's an almost inevitable byproduct of extending an ANI discussion to a user page, I suspect. It's only happened occasionally before, but generally results in some class of meltdown, with or without blocks. I think it's because comments that would only read as veiled attacks in the noticeboard vacuum where everyone's as bad each other are harshly illuminated on a quiet talk page. Shame though. ——SerialNumber54129 13:47, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

- That's very true. I can think of only two instances where an AN/I discussion spilling over to my talk page didn't result in more problems. The last time a spillover happened, it was a particularly unpleasant moment. I do hope that I don't have a repeat of that. It is a shame though, I agree.

DYK for Joan of Leeds
On 5 March 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Joan of Leeds, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1318 an English nun, Joan of Leeds, faked her own death and fled her priory, leaving a dummy in her place to be buried instead of her? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joan of Leeds. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Joan of Leeds), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Greenock Stowaways
Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Greenock stowaways has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
A couple of things I noticed. In the Ill-treatment section it reads:
Kerr, hearing of this, declared that the boys would henceforth get "the ground of their stomachs before they get any more", (Sfn|Donald|1928|p=54) but the footnote says: Refn|”Specifically, Kerr swore, according to Roughead, that the first mate would "give the ground of their stomachs before they got any more".sfn|Roughead|2014|p=15}}|group=note
Of the two mentions – the one in the text cites Donald, one as a footnote cites Roughead. One says "get" one says "give". I'm not even sure what this quote means. The citations should be checked and corrected if necessary.
Also:
It's unclear how many boys had shoes. "the stowaways had no shoes between them" or "since some of the boys had no shoes" – is that "no" or "some" – needs clarifying
In the Arrivals section the quote box mentions some had, some didn’t have shoes.
Arrivals:
Mentions five stowaways were put off the ship, where are the other two?
Same section, then we have "Of the six boys, Reilly and Bryson were keen to leave…" Seven boarded in Greenock. This just needs clarification.
Best of luck with the GA review.

Inappropriate AFD close
I am asking you to revert your non-admin close on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Veracity of statements by Donald Trump. You closed the discussion less than 6 hours after it opened. Furthermore, you violated the rules of WP:NACD which state "Do not close discussions in which you have offered an opinion, or for a page in which you have a vested interest"--Rusf10 (talk) 16:18, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message, Rusf10, which I have very carefully considered; Cf. WP:IAR and WP:NOTBURO. Although I suppose speedy keep #3 could have been worth a punt, since strictly your grounds for nominating were erroneous, albeit not egregiously so: per policy, to qualify as an attack page, it must also be
unsourced or poorly sourced
.Regarding your other points, the discussion had, in fact, being open over six hours; I had not offered an opinion on that discussion prior to closing; this tells us I have only ever edited that article five times, adding eight bytes on average with each one, and so clearly do nothave a vested interest
. Although I suspect you know this already.Word of advice, you'll need a much better eye for detail when you go to deletion review. Cheers, ——SerialNumber54129 16:51, 12 March 2019 (UTC)- Think I didn't see this? [6] You also need to reread the definition of attack page. "An attack page is a page, in any namespace, that exists primarily to disparage or threaten its subject; or biographical material that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced or poorly sourced. " Regardless, this is going to DRV.--Rusf10 (talk) 16:59, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- You seem to be rather heavily invested in this, Rusf10? Well, enjoy DRV, and be mindful of WP:ARBAP2 of course. ——SerialNumber54129 17:06, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) SN, you're actually incorrect here; an attack page is a page which
exists primarily to disparage or threaten its subject; or biographical material that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced or poorly sourced
(my emphasis). Thus, "list of bad things people have said about insert name" could still qualify as an attack page, even if it were meticulously sourced. Rusf10, in this particular case, I wouldn't consider Veracity of statements by Donald Trump as an attack page (although that's a dreadful title), as even if it's proven that every word he's ever said is true, enough reliable sources have alleged that he's a habitual liar that the allegation is a notable topic in its own right. The reason we don't have similar articles on other politicians is that although obviously other politicians have been accused of lying, in general the alleged lies have been in relation to particular incidents and the allegation is consequently covered in the article on that incident (e.g. Iraq dossier); what's unique here is that it's the allegation that Trump is a liar that's notable, rather than an allegation that he lied about a particular incident. ‑ Iridescent 17:08, 12 March 2019 (UTC) - Nice one Iridescent, I was about to ping you for a second opinion: I admit I was focussing on the biographical aspect, as indeed I thought Rusf01 was. Still, I guess it's gone elsewhere by now... ——SerialNumber54129 17:15, 12 March 2019 (UTC).

Need Help With Page You Requested For Speedy Deletion
- Re: Tyler Morris (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Hello, I see you had requested a page I made for speedy deletion, however, I had created this page in the first place again because it was originally deleted falsely despite discussion members giving solid reasons why the page is valid. To emphasize this, I ensured to site many reliable sources including Billboard.com. Could you please read my response that I contested your speedy deletion, as this artist is someone whose performances I have bought tickets for and attended and he has an international presence with 100,000s of followers of his work.

First, WP:DTR. Second, warning any editor that they must leave a comment for unexplained edits is highly appropriate.
