Thank you for fixing that last edit of mine. It really was disastrous. 198.200.115.29 (talk) 16:02, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
You repeatedly edited the page on Steven Crowder vis-à-vis his demonetization by YouTube wherein it says that YouTube demonetized him after a gay Hispanic journalist named Carlos Maza, whose Simple English Wikipedia page has since been deleted, said that Crowder was bullying him by calling him a “lispy queer”. You have removed the part wherein it explains the reason why Maza said that Crowder was bullying him and as such raised a good number of legitimate questions. If the page says that YouTube demonetized Steven Crowder after Maza accused Crowder of transgressing YouTube’s rules against bullying that raises the question of what did Crowder do or say that led to Maza’s decision to levy that charge. Even if the page says YouTube demonetized Steven Crowder for bullying Carlos Maza then the question is why did YouTube consider Maza to have been so doing. Even if the Simple English Wikipedia page simply says that Crowder was bullying Carlos Maza and was therefore demonetized by YouTube then the question remains what constitutes the bullying in question. And if those questions are unanswered, I am aware that I just began a sentence with a conjunction it was the only way to avoid a run-on sentence, then it becomes possible to label any behaviour as offensive and worthy of punishment without explanation of what said offending behaviour is. One doesn’t say Richard B. Spencer is a racist and offer no further explanation whatsoever. One demonstrates that he is racist by bringing up his calls for the mass expulsion of all non-white people from the United States thus proving that he is. When one calls Owen Benjamin an anti-Semite, which he is, one substantiates this claim by bringing up the demonstrable fact that he praised Adolf Hitler. You don’t just say this person is a bigot or a bully without explanation of why this is the case. So now that I have clarified, I will return to the page on Steven Crowder and specify the nature of the offensive remarks which resulted in Carlos Maza’s denunciation of Crowder as engaged in bullying and in Crowder’s demonetization. If you still for some unfathomable reason consider this to be vandalism then I encourage you to vocalize your concerns on Talk:Steven Crowder and hope that we can then engage in a civil discussion of our disagreement. Thank you. 198.200.115.29 (talk) 19:09, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
You know Wikipedia editors edit anonymously all the time. An anonymous account can be used for an entire myriad of reasons aside from a desire to engage in tone policing and concern trolling. That said, as much as I hate to admit it, your charge that I was less than civil when I vocalized my concerns is not without merit and for that I apologize. (I’m not going to say “my sincerest apologies” because when I apologize I prefer the assumption of sincerity to one of insincerity). I don’t think that you have bad motives for your edit if that’s what you believe. And I acknowledge that I can occasionally get overly frustrated when my edits are continually reverted. I also know, and this has nothing to do with you, that I once edited the plot section of the Wikipedia page on the novel The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer, the English Wikipedia not the Simple English Wikipedia I’m not sure whether or not the latter has one on Mailer’s book, though now that I mentioned it I’m probably going to check, to incorporate relevant information about one of the characters. In response another editor not only reverted the edit but proclaimed me guilty of vandalism demands that I be blocked from editing and as this particular editor had previously levied the same charge against me after I asked a question in a Talk page and made the same demand and I had reasoned with that person then though the question was still edited out I found that I could not resist speaking daggers to that person , to use Shakespeare’s phrase and after that was effective though the former wasn’t I fear I became a tad overzealous when wrongly accused of vandalism. And I am not offering this as justification for my prior lack of civility in our discourse for which I am sorry and must make no excuses. The blame for that lies squarely on myself you’re right about that. I bring this anecdote up solely because I realized then that there are people who will in the name of concern simply revert the edits of others regardless of whether or not it is necessary to do so and claimed it was in the name of concern and I suspect that those are the people to whom you refer as concern trolls. It is because of that experience that I began to wonder if someone were to send me a message on Wikipedia which disputed one of my edits in a self-righteous, arrogant, pedantic, holier than thou, which I am ashamed to say is a fitting description of the message I sent you I would likely take it very poorly. That is what led me to the realization that I owe you an apology. You are a human being who deserves as much respect as I or anyone else does and I sometimes fear that the mechanization of communication in fora like Wikipedia sometimes leads people of good intentions, including myself, to fail to register that fact. I am not proud to acknowledge that but it is the case. I do hope that despite the spectre of our poor introduction, you really never get a second chance to make a good first impression, that despite my prior failures to live up to my own standards of civility and etiquette that my intentions were good. I believe that as vehemently as you and I may or may not disagree on certain issues relating to the appropriate content of the Simple English Wikipedia page on Steven Crowder civility can exist if we assume each other to have the best possible intentions for as long as we are capable of so doing. And even if you conclude that I really am just a vandal or a troll, which I hope you don’t, you can still vocalize your qualms about the incorporation of the offensive language Crowder used into his Simple English Wikipedia page at the very least to make the case to other editors who frequent it as to why I am wrong on this issue. Who knows if the consensus emerges in your favour then you may at the very least have the satisfaction of knowing that our fellow Wikipedians agree that I’m an idiot. I hope that I have made a compelling case for why you should engage in Crowder’s talk page and that unlike my first message, for which I cannot apologize to you enough, this one was civil. And if I have failed in the former I hope that I have succeeded in the latter aim of keeping this message as civil as possible. And if I have failed in that regard well, suffice it to say I really hope that I haven’t. I appreciate your candour in calling me out for failing to live up to my standards vis-à-vis civility either way. That is something for which I am grateful to you. Thank you. 198.200.115.29 (talk) 05:35, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
May I know why my edit is reverted ? Please tell the reason for revert
I wrote the full article and now I am editing few errors. Why are you reverting, tell me the reason ?
Please read the article before reverting. All are facts, nothing derogatory or false information. Can we discuss this ?
I am sorry, I didn't know that, correct me if I am wrong. I was correcting the spellings and putting some sentences in meaningful way. Please check. Once again sorry for not following the policy, kindly request not to delete the content.
Yes, I will not edit this page anymore. Kind request not to remove the full content. Do you want me to make the article smaller. may be I can help you make it a small article by removing few elaboration.
Can I expand it a little, will not include all of what it had.
I read, I know it should not be more elaborative and should be in simple English, I will follow that if you permit me.
I will give a try, if not worthy you please revert it.
Please let me know how its now. Removed all elaboration and made it simple.
I just copy the list of the towns of the taluks. Its really hard for anyone to make the list with 80 or 90 names of villages. If I left it without the list, still it is an useless article. Another one is i just copied the format in the first taluk article. In the other intro and demographics, the format is just followed. The first article is the fully copied one. The others were just typed by me and you are making my articles deleted. You have the rights only to delete my first taluk article, the Cuddalore taluk. I want the others to be restored. I have another issue, the intro and content are much simplified and why is these article are deleted. First tell me the reasons to me and delete the articles. First give me time. Just inform before you delete, not as a command but as a request. Understand them. Leave me just copy the list alone and restore the deleted articles. Thank you. Also reply in my talk page for this.--wiki tamil 100 (talk) 05:08, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you --Eptalon (talk) 08:20, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Gotanda, many thanks for picking up the continued complex edits by Chrisangelo23.

Many thanks, DaneGeld (talk) 00:15, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
WHY ?!
Mr. Gotanda, thanks for the instructions. I have received your email on my talk page. I'v followed your instruction, added ((Wait)) on the page of James Barre. I have tried to add reliable sources available online. Though i have followed several Wikipedia pages and layout to build Mr. Barre's Wikipedia page. I admit, i'm not fully aware of Wikipedia layout and markups. I do think that James Barre is notable and covered by the news sources. Will you please help me and remove the warnings from the header?. Also, let me know how can i improve the Wikipedia page. Thanks. Sarah Ratliff (talk) 05:32, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I really don't think the language is hard. I did simplify every sentence I took fron en.wiki, and there are a lot of sections there that I ignored because they were hard to simplify. BTW, I'm not a native English speaker, I may have an advanced level, but me not being a native speaker and being able to completely understand what is written, I guess that makes it simple, thanks MohamedTalk 15:01, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi gretings, Sir, I saw the message in my talkpage about the quick deletation of some articles (Mulavana, Mundroethuruth, Mylakkadu). I made a mistake please forgive to me.

Hello Gotanda, I nominated Seethakathi (film) for deletion (regular deletion). In short: I think we have no ways of assessing notability, and this wiki is likely the wrong audience for the movie. Best regards. --Eptalon (talk) 08:45, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for helping to simplify two pages (A Fish Called Wanda and Aptivate) that I created from en.wikipedia. I do a 'first pass' of simplyfying the content before saving the first version but your experience in choosing simpler words and phrases is a great help. Please have a look at other the other pages I created/copied to see if you can help there too. I list them on my user page -- Brian R Hunter (talk) 00:32, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you reverted my recent edit on Venipuncture. The page is named "venipuncture" so that must be the first name stated on the page. Please try to reach consensus, don't edit war. Thank you. ToBeCloud (talk) 02:06, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Venipuncture a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Venipuncture. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history. In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — ToBeCloud (talk) 02:29, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello Gotanda, Netto-uyoku seems to be a political movement of the (far?) right spectrum. There's an article on EnWP, and we do have the lede of that artricle. When I edited it yesterday, I tried to do some simplifications (shorter sentences, mostly). I am however still unclear as to the true nature of the movement - are we looking at a group similar to Anonymous (group), or more like en:Les Identitaires? - As you live in Japan, you are probably in a better position to assess the nature of the group. Can you spend some time, and fix the article accordingly? - If you don't think they are notable, please nominate for deletion. Thank you. --Eptalon (talk) 07:57, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey Gotanda! I was fixing up Christopher Plummer's article for a potential VGA nom, but I also have a feeling that it may be better suited for a GA nom. I'd like for it to be nominated for VGA but if it ends in rejection, I wouldn't want to waste that time and attention where it could have gone towards a GA nom. I was wondering what are your thoughts on for Plummer to either be GA or VGA. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 23:04, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Hey Gotanda: Is there a reason for which the word just (near west of), alongside close to and place were changed/erased with the page Waterford, Connecticut? Angela Kate Maureen (talk) 06:53, 18 October 2021 (UTC) ːThe changes are simpler. The modifier "just" is not needed and introduces multiple meanings. "There were close to" to "almost" makes "people" the subject of the sentence not the empty "there" and is one word. "Local people living" to "people lived" is shorter, simpler and eliminates the redundant "local." All residents are local. I try to be as simple as possible. --Gotanda (talk) 22:42, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Please kindly take down your delete nomination in respect to the Chalet Lizette Brannan article, it wasnt an En complex article any longer, the page was written from neutral points with more informative resources for the Simple English and meeting ups its notability criterion. The earlier drafts no longer exist on the En. The article is not totally in disregard to the Wiki policy. I hope you take a consideration on the subject for deletion and revert your nomination . Thanks(Mirandatalks (talk) 00:13, 2 December 2021 (UTC))
I too have found that a few IP editors cast aspersions, and they often contradict each other. I nominate something for deletion and suddenly I'm not being fair, and then I vote keep on something and I've got some secret business deal going on. It's quite ridiculous. They are what I might call trolls who are looking for attention and I think it is generally better to ignore them rather than get into an argument with them. On the websites I run, I ban trolls but that is not the policy of Wikipedia, sadly, so we just have to put up with it. I'm certainly of the view that attitudes like that are unhelpful but it is one of the things we have to put up with here. Blissyu2 (talk) 12:10, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi, recently you put quick deletion templates on two of my page (Südafrika) and (Zuid-Afrika), both of those QD templates have been declined by an admin. I don’t understand why you warned me using Twinkle on my own talk page? - Deppiyy (talk) 11:37, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
Just a heads up for using ((Qd))} manually. The parameters are 1= criteria (a4, g2, whatever) and 2= reason. Neither needs to be tagged if put in the template in the correct order - If unnames, it used the first parameter as 1=, the second as 2=, etc. You listed the reasoning as 1= in the second slot but slot 1 was not labeled so it thought that was 1=, hense 2 times for a 1= and up pops and error category. So you either need to label the reason as 2=, just ignore the labels entirely, or let twinkle deal with it as it will label the reason as 2= even though it doesnt label the criteria as 1=. Why it does one with and one without is beyond me but it works so I realy dont care too much about it.. just find it odd. There is a 3= but that is mostly ignored (type of page: Article, template, cat, etc) --Creol(talk) 08:37, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
Good afternoon Gotanda. As the community continues to try to find a resolution to the future of how we will address redirects in the future, please do not refer any Deppiyy redirects for deletion until we get some idea from the community on what they want to do. Continuing to nominate Deppiyy redirects at RFD will be seen as disruptive and could result in restrictions being placed on you. I encourage you to keep working on your other on-wiki projects, making a note of problematic redirects for future discussion, and as you feel so inclined, contributing to the ST discussion. Thanks for all your thoughts on this issue, and for all your work elsewhere on Wikipedia. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me! Best, Griff (talk) 15:15, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Gotanda, thanks for your comments. Here is my feedback 1. Winged monkeys - to be honest I have no idea where that post came from. I thought I had created a page for Flying Monkeys not Winged Monkeys. You are perfectly right that winged monkeys is not a "thing" but Flying Monkeys absolutely is. It is a term used extensively in the narcissistic abuse community. Would you consider allowing me to beef it up and add other references? Because I am sure that there are many people out there searching for the term. 2. Carla Corelli - you ask if there is a reason for referencing that blog. Well the answer is that there is a narcissism glossary there that explains these concepts in very simple English. However if you think that I over-referenced that blog in particular, I will remove the references and include ones to more academic ones (would Psychology Today be considered a better source?) Thanks for your feedback and apologies for the inconvenience caused TheClawster (talk) 05:31, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi @Gotanda, to make a clarification with you, the pages you flagged for QD was actually a simplified version of the English Wikipedia. You may head over to the English Wikipedia and verify as most information are obtained as of what was in the English Wikipedia over to the Simple English Wikipedia.

Hello Gotanda, I am afraid because of the recent edits you are doing to the articles I've been creating. I don't (and I am not) want to be angry nor in dispute with you: in contrast, I want to cooperate with you. Mathematics history has episodes like the Penrose tiling use in 1998, Wiles 1995 proof, and many more who are fascinating, some of them are just short events (a North Korean student scapped during 2015 I think International Mathematical Olympiad, that does not deserve an article) and others are such big that even just an article is not enough. With all this, I try to create this articles because who knows if this can be useful for some people, to read about maths, to get informed. Recently, you redirected 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians and 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians boycott, and I can not undo them. They are 2 great articles I wrote with effort, and I wish you can undo the redirection. I want to chat with you, and get a consensus. Liserbim (talk) 13:48, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi there. Please do not remove Category:Female scientists off any more pages. It has been sent to RfD twice and kept twice. You can send it to RfD a third time if you really think it should be deleted but do not empty it to avoid the RfD process. --Ferien (talk) 19:56, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
First I want to say that I think changing "the process by which" to "how" is good in general; there are only a few situations where I would question it. So I'm asking to get a better understanding of simple language and/or to discuss alternatives.
Thanks, Lights and freedom (talk) 06:57, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello Gotanda,
I'm reaching out to you because I am working on a research project on simplification and am looking to collaborate with domain experts.
A quick introduction: I am a researcher interested in text simplification and am working towards publishing a resource in text simplification based on Simple Wikipedia (quite a rich encyclopedia). We believe this resource, which we will make public, could be valuable to educate and increasing awareness of text simplification.
Some colleagues and I are looking to collaborate with domain experts in the creation of the resource. We've secured some budget for our research project, so there's the possibility to remunerate a few experts that would work with us.
I do not mean to spam you, so feel free to disregard/delete if you feel this is inappropriate (and I apologize). On the other hand, if you are interested, please feel free to reach out, either directly on Wikipedia or by email (phillab@berkeley.edu) and I would be happy to tell you more.
Thank you, and sorry again if you feel this is inappropriate,
Philippe Laban

MathXplore had already removed the complex section. (It was really just about Zora Neale Hurston, which belongs on her page, not on folklore.) Your edit didn't really do much except remove maintenance tags, move the reflist and stub tag to the middle of the article, and add a few words that FolkloreJC removed.

@Gotanda, you said Didicoy is not an english word, but why then Gadjo, who is also an Romani word and not english, is allowed to stay in english wikipedia as an own Article? this made no sense. As far I understand, in simple english wikipedia, only english terms and words are used? Then the Articles with outlandish names like Vallahades must changend too?
Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadjo Nalanidil (talk) 14:38, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
@Gotanda, You won. I can't argue to you and your lobby here. If you want to delete all my articles, then do it. It was a mistake on myself, to put Romani language terms with sources on Wikipedia. Our ancestors never wanted Gadjo to know our language. It was a very big mistake by all Roma that we passed on our language to non-Roma. This is not good, yet I can very well understand what our Elders allways meant when they say: “Gadje Gadjensa, Rom Romensa.” This is an old Roma saying and the meaning is Gadjo should stay with Gadjo and Roma with Roma. For centuries our language was secret. And now, am I supposed to justify myself for the term Dasikane and Didicoy and Xoraxane etc.??? No, I don't have to do that to myself. May you happy now. May Devla forgive me...I fear Devla's punishment for passing on Romani words to Gadjo's. Nalanidil (talk) 00:29, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello Gotanda, I have declined your QD request. Looks like an old dog-breed to me. So, If you still think it should be deleted, please nominate the page at RfD. Eptalon (talk) 13:30, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
Helo Gotanda,
I have declined your QD request for Treehouse TV. Please nominate for regular deleion, if you think it should be deleted. Thank you Eptalon (talk) 10:25, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi Gotanda, I'm not going to discuss here whether something should be deleted, but Wikiwand is a mirror of Wikipedia. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/The_Governor%27s_Daughter can be found at en:The Governor's Daughter. If you already knew this, you can discard this message. Lights and freedom (talk) 07:19, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
I'm not sure why you reverted the edit (especially with rollback, only intended for clear vandalism) from the creator that fixed the problem with the article. If the complex section is removed, then there's no need to delete the article. --Ferien (talk) 07:35, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
I don't think the sentence you added to the Nobel Prize is fair or justified from the source given. The sentence says "Wikipedia has also been unfair to women scientists." citing this source: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/oct/03/donna-strickland-nobel-physics-prize-wikipedia-denied
I actually edited en:Donna Strickland just three hours ago to clear a misleading statement about this incident. There was no article about her before she won the Nobel Prize, and a draft about her had been declined earlier that year. However, en:George Smith (chemist) was another Nobel laureate that year, and no article had been written about him either, which was not mentioned in the news. This situation is actually not rare: of the 212 Nobel laureates from 2001 until 2018, 35% had no Wikipedia article until they were awarded the prize. The issue might be an inability of Wikipedia editors to recognize significant scientists until they win an award, rather than discrimination against women scientists on Wikipedia. I think this claim is certainly not proven from this one example, and the sentence should be removed (also as it's about Wikipedia, not the Nobel Prize). My comment, of course, is only referring to Wikipedia and not denying any discrimination women scientists may face in the real world. Lights and freedom (talk) 03:33, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Gotanda! Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to know if you could help me with getting Megadeth to Good Article status. You’re one of the only other users who has made many edits on the page, so I thought asking you would be best. If you don’t want to, that’s okay. Thanks!
P.S. - I left some ideas for the quotes on the talk page for Fred Rogers, if you haven’t already seen those. Great work so far! 🤘 🤘 DovahFRD (talk) 12:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Be sure to check page history before QDing an article. I had QDed List of GoAnimate Animated Series as rational A4 but it got denied by aunt then you redid it shortly after again. I have RFDed it for now as a declined QD. Bobherry Talk My Changes 02:29, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
is about people, groups, companies, products, services or websites that do not claim to be notable. Personally, I think TV series count under A4 (you can buy a TV series on DVDs). Now, I'm not sure I agree that A4 should not apply to lists at all. I think it should apply to some lists, and have probably used A4 on lists before. However, with this article, it is a list of animated series from GoAnimate, now called Vyond which is notable enough to have an article. That is a reasonable claim to show it is important, in my view – it is showing shows from a notable TV channel. A4 is not about showing the article passes notability guidelines, I think this is best explained at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Archive 4#Barron Trump. --Ferien (talk) 22:21, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi Gotanda, I simplified Beatrix Potter even further. If you think I have omitted too much, please feel free to revert. Best, WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 22:36, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Sir it doesn't mean that the article once be deleted should not be recreated. The article that I had made it is proper. Yes it should required some help from experience Wikipedian like you. So it an humble request that please remove the notice of deletion.

Hi, with this article, it isn't eligible for A1 because it did have some useful content in. But, I have expanded it a bit, please let me know if there are still issues with it – other than the categories, which I'm going to work out another day... --Ferien (talk) 13:54, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Gotanda, I am happy to see you are looking at my articles. I recently created Judy Chicago. It has subsequently received a tag requesting that it contain more sections. I keep going back to it and looking, and not quite figuring out how to divide it up. Do you have any thoughts? I am new to Simple Wiki so I would really like some help with the basics. Best, WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 15:57, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm not going to process this one, because I felt it was not figured in the same way in Cape Evans, which is the En wiki page. You could take it to RfD. I think we should have a version of Cape Evans, but even so the En wiki page is pretty sketchy. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi, Gotanda. I declined your QD request on this page because option A4 does not apply to events (in this case, murders). The article is about the murders, not about the people specifically. Feel free to go to RFD, though. -- Auntof6 (talk) 06:11, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
I have reviewed the request and declined to delete the page. It appears to be an internationally accredited college that offers real undergraduate and graduate degrees via the University of Derby in the UK. Please take the issue to RfD if this is not acceptable. fr33kman 00:52, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

In this diff: https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Russo-Ukrainian_War&diff=prev&oldid=9166972 I removed a claim that was uncited, and had had a [[citation needed]\] for over a year. The claim itself used W:EN:WP:Weasel which while it is an English policy and not technically a Simplish policy I don't see any reasonable justification for weasel words to be permitted here. My revert was a goodfaith removal of a unsourced claim written in non-encyclopediac language that had gone for over a year without being cited, and that when I looked for W:EN:WP:RS there were none I could find. This was an open and shut revert. I really don't want to get into a W:EN:WP:WAR so I am looking for an explanation and civil discussion here instead. I'd like to know what I did wrong, why my revert was not an appropriate or positive change to the article, so that I can become a better editor in the future.

Hi. I've noticed the general topic of Civil Parishes is a little bit of a mess. Civil Parishes in England has a hatnote leading to "Civil Parish (Disambiguation)", which is a redlink, and said hatnote states that the page "Civil Parish" redirects to "Civil Parishes" in england. I also noticed there are no links to Civil Parishes in England on the Civil parish page. Since you're the user who changed the redirect into an actual article, I wanted some advice on what to do about this whole thing. Plutonical (talk) 15:32, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey Gotanda. I am not sure if you receive pings or not, so I wanted to let you know here. On the 2023/2024 Red Sea Crisis deletion nominations, I asked if you could clarify your nominations. Mainly what do you mean by "Direct to Red Sea Crisis is simpler.
