Saw you take your name off WP:MIA and wanted to be the first to greet you! bibliomaniac15 05:52, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Steel1943,
It would be very helpful when you tag pages for deletion, such as this one, that you post a notification on the talk page of the page creator. In this case, they are a new editor with only 22 edits so it's useful to inform them that they created a page in error and let them know what that mistake might have been.
I see you used Twinkle to tag the page, which is great, so please check your Twinkle Preferences so that the "Notify page creator" box is checked. Also, I believe the default setting on Twinkle is to only have a few CSD criteria boxes checked off when they really all need to be checked! It doesn't really matter whether the criteria is A7 or G4, the editor should be informed that a page they created has been tagged and most likely will be deleted. Thank you for all of the work you do and for spotting this page. Liz Read! Talk! 21:54, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Steel1943. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

No worries on the mistaken Rfd. Happens to all of us from time to time. For what it's worth, I had interpreted your comment on the books "exclusive from the article's subject" as meaning "not about cat food", hence my comment. It seems we were both a bit confused.

Hey Steel, do you mind if I clean-up some of the Version 2 redirects you moved? Where possible I've been placing the edit history back at the old title involved in the move creating the Version 2 redirect. I think it's cleaner and clearer that way, and doesn't create additional unnecessary redirects. For example, Grown Ups (2010 American film) is two steps too disambiguated, so I don't see how that's a useful title. I can move it to Grown Ups (2010 film), and then restore the intervening edit to add an RCAT. Others are fine, for example Griffin had parallel history so it had to be moved elsewhere. Halifax is fine too, but I had set that one aside because there are 242 deleted edits under the current article title that I'd like to unwind when I have the time to unsort all the history between the (former) city and HRM and disambiguation(s) thereof so there's a bit of duplicated effort there. I'm sorry if this sounds critical, I don't mean it that way because I do appreciate your work, especially the addition of ((R with history)) which I had somehow forgotten about! -- Tavix (talk) 18:58, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
What do you expect with that loud, Royal Blue sig of yours, Steel Man. Good to see you! P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 21:47, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Could you please making an redirect page CBS News Streaming Network as redirected page to CBS News (streaming service) because i feel that official name should be given an redirected page as per most articles that have already rename their articles. 180.254.169.132 (talk) 16:17, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the ((admin help)) template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page. |
Would an admin please remove my Template editor and Page mover permissions, as well as my access to AutoWikiBrowser? Thanks in advance. Steel1943 (talk) 20:10, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
Template:Uw-2redirect/doc has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:34, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
I'm late to the party, but I'm also really happy to see you back! I liked your old signature color, but an editor by any other sig is just as welcome. :) --BDD (talk) 21:30, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
On March 20th you designated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Humane_Society as underlinked; I think it's probably fine after the work you did on it. I will remove the template, just wanted to let you know to review it and re-add the template if you still think it should be there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dillbuds (talk • contribs) 01:50, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

was an issue but I forget why. Feel free to fork and play around with it! I've tried to think of a way to filter out all the chemistry ones but I can't come up with anything, short of doing some categorylinks
magic on the target pages, which seems very slow and potentially false-negative-prone. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 22:42, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

could weed out some of them by preventing instances of "-(", which seems to be common in chemical redirects. 😅 Steel1943 (talk) 00:19, 24 March 2022 (UTC)You dumped this spam on my talk page.

Your two edits that I reverted were intended to fix a mistake, namely a missing space. However, you did not provide an edit summary, and instead of simply correct the typo, you changed also the capitalization of "function". Such a capitalization change is generally totally useless, and strongly discoureged by WP:NOTBROKEN and MOS:VAR. This was the reason of my reverts. In this case, the capitalization change is also misleading, and mislead me, since I did not remark that a space was also added. D.Lazard (talk) 09:37, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello again, Steel! :)
I see you and I have both taken stabs over the years at handling the situation of what the primary landing pages should be for the cards in a standard 52-card deck. Despite that, it seems things remain rather inconsistent. I was wondering if we could put our heads together and come up with a proposal to take to RfD or some other venue.
Sources: Quarry 63508; this search (couldn't get Unicode stuff working on Quarry).
Based on Quarry 63512, the following articles are the subject of ambiguity that are not resolved at applicable target articles: The Five of Hearts; Seven of Spades (film); Ten of Diamonds (film); Two of Diamonds (album) (hatnoted at Two of diamonds' target but not at Two of Diamonds)'. There is also The Diamond Brothers, to which Three of Diamonds (book) and Three of Diamonds (collection) redirect.
I identify the following questions that need to be resolved:
Thoughts? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:00, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi there, I see you've been bringing a lot of redirects to RfD that were the result of past blank and redirects (e.g. some of the Harry Potter pages). While there is certainly nothing wrong with this, I suggest that if you see in the history the redirect is the result of a BLAR, it may be better to restore the most recent version of the article and nominate for AfD instead. There are some, myself included, that don't believe redirects that used to be articles can or should be deleted at RfD, so we will just vote to send to AfD anyway. Not sure how you feel, but if you agree it would certainly be a way to skip a step. Cheers, Mdewman6 (talk) 20:33, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
Welcome back S! Re: one of your comments about April Fools day at the VP. I remember through the mists of time that there were some clever, creative and funny things that used to happen on the 1st :-D Sadly that was a loooong time ago.

Hello, Steel1943,
Just a reminder in your active page tagging, CSD G5 does not apply to template that are transcluded or categories that are not empty. This is because the deletion of these pages impacts other, unrelated pages that have nothing to do with the sockpuppet's activities. For example, the deletion of a full category would leave a lot of red links on other articles that, per WP:REDNO would each have to be removed individually. It's best to nominate these pages for deletion at either WP:TFD or WP:CFD if you want to see them deleted. Thank you for your contributions! Liz Read! Talk! 00:47, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
CSD G5 does not apply to template that are transcluded or categories that are not empty" WP:G5 says that nowhere, but sure, whatever. Yet another reason for me to not get involved in these types of edits again; being criticized for following the directions as they are written, since that is apparently controversial. Good day. Steel1943 (talk) 01:26, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
categories that may be useful or suitable for merging, which is quite a bit different from your definition of
categories that are not empty. There are plenty of examples of unuseful categories that are not empty (especially ones populated by the sock, which should be rolled back as part of the clean-up process). I'm also confused why you thought it relevant to discuss templates here? According to his CSD log, Steel did not tag any templates. I note this isn't the first time you've come here with faulty advice, so if you are going to "remind" him again, you better make crystal clear you are coming with the correct advice—or better yet just leave him alone. He likely knows a lot more than you do in the areas in which he is active. -- Tavix (talk) 02:58, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
