Hello, Chidgk1,

While there is no BEFORE for PRODS, like there is for AFDs, it would be great if you could provide a deletion rationale that is based in Wikipedia policies and guidelines. For example, for Information protection policy, you basically said that the article should be deleted because you didn't think Wikipedia needed it. That's a very subjective reason for why an article that has existed for over a decade should be deleted and I'm surprised that it wasn't untagged.

Please ground your deletion choices based on Wikipedia policies and not your own opinion on what articles are or aren't needed. I know you are a very experienced editor but I'm just asking you to take an extra minute or two when you are tagging a page for Proposed deletion to provide a better justification for deletion. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:28, 19 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Same goes for Rapid construction or for just typing "not notable" without any further elaboration as you do for many PRODs like Vendor log and Beat-sheet. It just isn't enough justification for article deletion. Please look over User:DumbBOT/ProdSummary for deletion rationales provided by other editors and you'll notice that most of them have some reference to a Wikipedia policy or notability guideline. Please start doing this as well. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:34, 19 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I now see that I already left you a message about this matter over a month ago at User talk:Chidgk1#PRODs which you never responded to. If your deletion rationales don't start improving, I'm going to start declining your Proposed deletion requests. Please work on this and don't ignore these messages. Liz ^{Read!

Sorry for not responding to your previous message - it was not deliberate - I must have accidentally missed it Chidgk1 (talk) 16:36, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Liz OK I don’t want to give you admin guys extra work so even though being unsourced is not a deletion reason in itself it is supporting evidence so I guess I should write something like “Article has been tagged as unsourced for over a decade - I did a Google search and the subject does not seem to be notable”. Also I now try to avoid PRODing some things which have specialized notability criteria such as roads and places. I am also now avoiding PRODing the many unsourced music albums as their standard seems to be to merge or redirect to the artist rather than delete.

You have been busy prodding. The admins and I will be busy reviewing all of this. Is it possible for you to slow your work on this. There are plenty of other places to spread your wiki energy. ~Kvng (talk) 23:29, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, I saw your AfD for the second book in the Pendragon series and proposed a redirect to the main series article. Going through, I think that is the appropriate move for all of the other books as well. I checked all time of them and the best they had as an independent source was the Publisher's Weekly blurb and most didn't even have that. Would you be willing to put up the rest of the series under the umbrella of the AfD for the sake of expediency? Happy to discuss further but to me, none of these cut the mustard.

Hey Chidgk1, before I open a sockpuppet investigation is there are legitimate reason it would look like this account and EMsmile are run by the same individual or otherwise engaged in coordinated or tag-team editing? You're both older accounts so I am extending this as a courtesy, I generally just open the investigation and see what people have to say. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:34, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Horse Eye's Back We are both active in Wikipedia:WikiProject Climate change but have no other connection apart from having the same king I think! I occasionally look at the history of what non-climate change editing other people active on the project are doing and dive in to that article, especially deleting or copyediting, because it is often easier than writing new content about Turkey where I live, which is what I think is most important long-term. Not just @EMsmile but also, for example Femke - I did a little copyediting on Long COVID back in August and September (I don’t suffer from it so no need to go easy on me). If you need any further info feel free to ask - if it is anything confidential I will look into https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102245 for encrypting mail or I can email you my WhatsApp number if you prefer Chidgk1 (talk) 19:03, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@EMsmile:@Chidgk1: thank you both for the additional context, nothing wrong with any of that and looking at it with the additional context it does look like more a walled garden of scholars writing the same books situation than anything nefarious. Please accept my apologies and feel free to point anyone in the future who brings up the same question my way. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:20, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I also apologize to EMSmile for confusing her with Clayoquot, who is the one who shares a king with me I think! Chidgk1 (talk) 19:26, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No problem. No king for me (I am based in Germany). :-) Clayoquot is in Canada. I wasn't aware of that editor interaction tool and am not sure how it could have been used to prove anything. If I was the same person as Chidgk1 then why should I switch backwards and forwards between two accounts while editing. - I think some fancy AI software could probably analyse how we write on talk pages and detect that I write as a non-native speaker (German) whereas he's a native English speaker. And so forth.

I guess the tag-team editing could have been plausible concern (as Chidgk1 and I seem to fairly often agree on things) but I can assure you we don't interact "behind the scenes", don't do canvassing or alike.

In any case, being part of a kind of "virtual team" as part of WikiProject Climate Change is very satisfying. Do join us! Nice group of people. Have a great day. (I am currently busy with food security which is only loosely related to climate change) EMsmile (talk) 19:39, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I'm That Tired Tarantula. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Social cost of carbon seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Hello, Chidgk1,

In case you were not aware of this, I wanted to point out your mistake in the creation of this AFD deletion discussion. You need to slow down and use the processes of deletion more carefully. There was another AFD where you repeated your nomination statement three times and recently you chose to PROD a great many articles over a short period of time. Deletion of content is one of the more drastic actions that can happen on the project so it has to not be done hurriedly. Look over your AFDs after you create them to make sure they are appropriate by common AFD standards. Thank you for your contributions. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:11, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Chidgk1, we need experienced volunteers.

• New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
• If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
• If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
• Cheers, and hope to see you around.

On 21 December 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hoàng Thị Minh Hồng, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Hoàng Thị Minh Hồng's environmental activism inspired Barack Obama? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hoang Thi Minh Hong. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hoàng Thị Minh Hồng), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

With all due respect, please refrain to remove sources. Both are well founded and respected. You may consider them old, but in their core, they are not. From these, I cite fundamental issues, not some statistics that change over the years. Therefore, I removed all of your recent edits today, because they lack elementary respect. You may reenter the constructive parts. And also, do not remove information, simply because it may also be available in other articles. It is relevant for that one too. If you wish to do such changes, first discuss the all the talk page. Regards, --Gligan (talk) 19:05, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
