thank you for thanking me

Thank you for thanking me in 2016. It was a real pleaser to know that you thanked me at a time (ie now) where all the wolves are out to tear me apart for standing up to massive bullying on this here site.I loved your early work on this site (I was sort of a fan), in particular on self harm and social anxiety. I have social anxiety and went a shrink about it (my shrink hated women but if you ignore alls hrinks that do you won't get any help), self harm is a touchy issue with me due to my wiki friend ending his own life years back and me getting lambasted for trying to show respect on that day (i know wikipedia never has any days for respect,its a far right troll fest and won't stop even for one day). Anyway i am still gleeming over your thanks. THANK You for thanking me bruh. I am alive and kicking brother.

NPA

Special:Diff/1016691888: calling me a troll is a violation of WP:NPA. And before making judgements on users, you should actually check their edit histories. I have an article about a Division 1 Féminine team on the front page (DYK) right now, and have created multiple women's football articles in the last week. And just like you, I'm an active member of women's football taskforce. Just because my username identifies me as male, that doesn't give you the right to assume I'm a misogynist troll. The unfortunate fact is that women's football isn't as well covered in reliable sources as men's matches, and that is one of the reasons why we have fewer women's biographies. And so I don't believe that enough Division 2 Féminine footballers meet WP:GNG to justify a template to link between them. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:48, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Great, if that's true I trust you can update the article and template. Many thanks. Hmlarson (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:ASPTT Albi templates

A tag has been placed on Category:ASPTT Albi templates requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more 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 you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Second Notice: your GA nomination of Sam Kerr

 On hold until correction of linkrot and further considerations

--Whiteguru (talk) 02:26, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Hey Hmlarson, I've started (bit slowly as I'm doing at as planned breaks during studying) going over the refs on Sam Kerr. I just went through the Chelsea section and it seems quite empty (considering she's been there already almost 1.5 years). Want to try expanding it a bit? --SuperJew (talk) 12:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Hey. Thanks for your work on it. I have limited time this week. The current reviewer appears to be only focusing on links, not content. It'll likely need to be re-nominated. Hmlarson (talk) 18:15, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
P.S. She tore it up (again) this weekend - so yeah, I'll definitely need to expand. Thanks for the heads-up SuperJew. Hmlarson (talk) 18:17, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
Sure, and totally understand the time issues (done with 6 exams out of 10 :/ ) --SuperJew (talk) 20:19, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

@Hmlarson: Could you deal with re-nominating Sam Kerr for GA? (I'm not entirely sure how to do it) --SuperJew (talk) 20:30, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

@Hmlarson: I managed to renominate it. Whiteguru is starting the review at Talk:Sam Kerr/GA2. --SuperJew (talk) 09:15, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
  • In case you need it on this one, WP:RGA sections 5+4 may be useful. Hmlarson (talk) 17:50, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Sam Kerr

The article Sam Kerr you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Sam Kerr for reasons why the nomination failed.
