I saw you do some excellent work in finding sources for some historical Olympic sprinters - it seems a bunch more have been proposed for deletion - I was able to rescue a couple of them, but some I can't locate sourcing for. Can you find coverage for any of these?

Hello Habst, I noticed that you've been adding this category to biographies you've been creating. First, I wanted to point out that people are not articles. I don't think we have any articles on articles written by OpenAI, if OpenAI writes articles. So, it would appear that that category should not exist at all. Second, assuming that that means that those biographies were contributed to in full or in part by one of OpenAI products, presumably ChatGPT or its derivatives, that seems to put these articles into a murky area copyright-wise. So, I am wondering if there was a discussion regarding how these should be done, and whether any policies and guidelines were amended or created anew to regulate them.

Your ability to find obscure sources on foreign, pre-internet athletes is fantastic. Thank you for your work in saving these articles; it is greatly appreciated! BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:20, 11 January 2024 (UTC) |
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2015 World Youth Championships in Athletics – Boys' javelin throw 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 until the discussion has finished.Fram (talk) 11:32, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
Your account has been granted the "templateeditor" user permission, allowing you to edit templates and modules that have been protected with template protection. It also allows you to bypass the title blacklist, giving you the ability to create and edit editnotices. Before you use this user right, please read Wikipedia:Template editor and make sure you understand its contents. In particular, you should read the section on wise template editing and the criteria for revocation.
You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edinotices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established. If you are willing to process edit requests on templates and modules, keep in mind that you are taking responsibility to ensure the edits have consensus and are technically sound.
This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. 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.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
If you were granted the permission on a temporary basis you will need to re-apply for the permission a few days before it expires including in your request a permalink to the discussion where it was granted and a ((ping)) for the administrator who granted the permission. You can find the permalink in your rights log.

Hi. Why sync Module:Annotated link/sandbox with main when the sandbox is set up for testing a feature proposed in recent discussion and has initial test cases? This action detrimentally affects efforts to evaluate the proposed feature, and makes no positive contribution. Any competent template/module editor wanting to work on the code will check associated talk pages for recent activity and if there's no good reason not to, will ensure the sandbox is synced prior to testing any of their own changes anyway. Were you under the impression that I am an incompetent or wreckless template/module editor? Fred Gandt · talk · contribs

option, and I wanted to sync the sandbox to make sure that the changes I was about to make did not conflict with any other in-development changes. I simply checked the page history and saw the last edit and discussion comment was over 9 days ago so I thought it was not under active development, and I would be allowed to test my changes.Hi Habst. I greatly appreciate your attempts to save athletes from AFD, but I would recommend not over-commenting (e.g. responding to every comment that does not agree with your opinion, especially if its an individual vote that is not replying to you). Its tempting, but try to just say your piece in a few comments with maybe 1-2 rebuttals to other votes if you really think it necessary (but I would not do it every time), as some consider your current comments at AFDs to be WP:BLUDGEONING. Just some advice. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:52, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
One way we may be able to get Kimba saved would be to get in contact to some media source in Niger (they would probably know whether he's been significantly covered). I, personally, am not sure exactly how we would do this, but just throwing out an idea. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:39, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:2023 in Castile and León indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 01:14, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to 2023 Mediterranean Athletics U23 Indoor Championships – Results. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. JoeNMLC (talk) 21:03, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
