Draft:Jonn Poker (Beauty YouTuber)
Hey, can you help creating a page for an artist ? I saw there have been drafts made in the pasta but deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nerdmaniac2021 (talk • contribs) 20:50, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Protected pages query
Hi Cryptic, Ajpolino has placed a very useful result of your query on WP:MED, relating to protected pages in the medicine space. Would you be able to run the same query (as in [1]) on articles corresponding to the talk pages in this category Category:WikiProject Anatomy articles? Thanks, hopefully! --Tom (LT) (talk) 09:37, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- I'll do you one better. Go read Wikipedia:Request a query/Archive 1#Newly created Presbyterian articles, where I previously wrote out step-by-step instructions on how to register on Quarry and duplicate a query. This not only lets you edit it so you can change the category in the query, but lets you run it again without having to ask me - the results on Quarry don't automatically update when the wiki changes.The only added wrinkle compared to Anna's situation is that you'll need to update the cl_to comparison near the end. It should not have "Category:" in it, and spaces should be replaced with underscores - that is,
WHERE cl_to = 'WikiProject_Anatomy_articles'
, notWHERE cl_to = 'Category:WikiProject Anatomy articles'

thanks for help with Communal burrow
Hi. just wanted to thank you for your help with the new entry communal burrow. I never saw a bot put a flag on an entry that way before. these mirror sites are kind of bizarre, aren't they? what is the idea behind them? are they generating revenue oir spam for their owners, somehow? truly perplexed on this.
anyway, thanks so much for your help on this. by the way., I am the originator of one of our very own Wikifauna here, the WikiPrairie Dog. As you can guess , so I have an interest in this topic, as a general subject. you are welcome to join our communal burrow any time! jump-yip! lol! nice to meet you! ---Sm8900 (talk) 🚀🌍 13:59, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Draft talk: Syed Shahid Ali
Hello!
I hope you're doing good. I have been trying to create a page of Syed Shahid Ali which you previously deleted under the G8 criteria of Speedy Deletion. Now, I am editing the content and toning it down to make it encyclopedic.
However, I am unable to submit the draft of Syed Shahid Ali for review. Can you help me with that? Ahmed.masoom (talk) 07:04, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
He is a known Pakistani Businessman, a former national Polo Player who is a well-known figure in Pakistan. I am creating an article on him for the general public interest. Ahmed.masoom (talk) 07:44, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- You have to type {{subst:submit}} as it appears when you're viewing the page, not "<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Submit|subst:submit]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>", which is what it looks like when you're viewing source.Also, you have to at least go through the motions of not making your draft look like a resume from the first edit, or you'll just end up blocked again. —Cryptic 17:28, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
Remove the protection for the page "Dushyant Kapoor"
My client wants to create Dushyant Kapoor page. I request to kindly remove the protection and allow me to work on it so that it will fulfill Wikipedia standards and I as an Extended Confirmed User and lover of Wikipedia contribute in making wikipedia greater. I will try my best to make this page as good with solid references. Kindly approve my request. Regards, Thanks in advance Armaghan Muawiya — Preceding unsigned comment added by Armaghan Muawiyah (talk • contribs) 20:09, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- The protections of Dushyant Kapoor and Draft:Dushyant Kapoor were not made on my own initiative, but in response to community discussions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dushyant Kapoor and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Dushyant Kapoor. I can't unilaterally reverse them absent strong evidence that they're no longer valid. Your assertion that you have "solid references" isn't sufficient - you'll have to actually provide them. I must admit that I'm not immediately seeing anything convincing in a casual google search in English; the articles I looked at have the character of press releases or other material created by the subject or his publicity team and uncritically reprinted.Quite aside from that, your mention of "My client" is concerning, and I'll be following up with a formal warning on your talk page. Please reply to that (there) before doing anything else. —Cryptic 18:08, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Hii. I had been trying to an article Glassy Tiger Life Cycle. But it has been deleted under the dupication with article Parantica aglea. I want to know that can I create an article that describes the life cycle of (Parantica aglea) . Can you help me with that? Thank you. Sandew LA (talk) 12:41, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

ArbCom 2021 Elections voter message
Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2020 September 5 files
Hi Cryptic. I wasn't aware that you were working on these at User:Cryptic/sandbox. I had actually forgot about them until I actually stumbled across File:Comoros FA.png via WP:MCQ#Football Logos when File:FF Comoros (logo).png was asked about. That led me query the original deleting admin about this at User talk:Fastily#File:Comoros FA.png which resulted in Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2021 November 25#File:Comoros FA.png. I've also asked another admin about some of the other files on your list at User talk:Masem#Danish Superliga former logos, but haven't done anything further about them yet. FWIW, this wasn't a case of me getting tired of waiting for you or anyone else to do something about these files; I just completely forgot about the whole kerfuffle until trying to answer that MCQ question. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:46, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not actually working on them - look at the timestamp there. I only got the two near the bottom of WP:Files for discussion/2020 September 14 renominated before getting distracted by the kerfuffle at Wikipedia talk:Deletion review/Log/2020 September 5, which was considerably more urgent. Have at it. —Cryptic 00:52, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!
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.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
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.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Deletion close parsing
It's not just my parser that gets thrown off by non-bolded AfD closes; Enterprisey's AfDstats chokes on it as well. I do intend to write a general library for AfD-close parsing that handles edge cases like this, but there's a fairly low rate of undeterminable closes (six this month out of a couple thousand AfDs) that I figure it is probably easier to bold the closes manually until this is set up. But if you'd like me to not do this on your closes, I can stop. jp×g 20:32, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Cryptic. Thanks for keeping an eye on Naveen Jain ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Do you think a SPI would be helpful at this point with the new set of editors there (Ferife Hendersonville 099 (talk · contribs), Tomjonnie (talk · contribs), Cecellixcd (talk · contribs)) all trying to blank information? I'm planning a COIN, minimally to make other editors aware of the sock/meatpuppet farm and their articles of interest. --Hipal (talk) 16:06, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Probably not. Even if they're from the same IP range, checkusers are unlikely to block it; and finding out whatever other accounts they've made isn't going to accomplish much. It might be more useful if - no, let's be realistic, when - they start gaming to get around semiprotection, to find stray sleepers. —Cryptic 16:16, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Deletion of the article Rajender Singh Pahl
Hi Cryptic, I have recreated an article Rajender Singh Pahl. Earlier this article was marked promotional and advertising. I have made article neutral and encyclopedic. Also I have provided credible references from the biggest journals and newspapers. The page has been deleted by you. I therefore request you to allow me to rewrite this article and I assure you that I will follow all the wikipedia guidelines and no violations would be made from my end. I truly believe that this article will contribute to Wikipedia and the people who will be looking for it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prasun020 (talk • contribs) 08:24, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- It was an advertisement, sourced to advertisements, and if you didn't bill the subject for writing it, then you've been swindled. I won't restore it; your route of appeal is Deletion review. —Cryptic 12:05, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
Deletion of the article Passfolio
Hi Cryptic, wanted to check on Passfolio Article. It is not a paid contribution. I use the app and a friend works there and chatting about it I just updated the article. I think it's quite relevant but was not aware it was deleted previously, in fact that made me doubt about make a claim. I will appeal now in review, but, just for the record, was pretty confident (if article was not erased 2 times before) that had acceptable background comparing with others companies / articles in same category. Thanks. --Joji (talk) 01:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, were you waiting on me for something? I haven't said anything because I read "I will appeal now in review" as "I'm imminently starting a deletion review, (correctly) surmising that you wouldn't restore this if I asked for that directly", so I'd planned on making a response there. —Cryptic 21:17, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
