Hi, GW, it seems we edit-conflicted over varying ways to nominate that article for deletion. I'm not really sure it qualifies for G3 (to my eternal regret), but I'm happy to restore the tag for you to get another admin's opinion, or however else you think we should handle it. Cheers, Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:34, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi. Could you put Draft:Fever dream (sleep physiology) for speedy deletion. There are no more reliable sources out there. I won't be able to improve the article. --Pek (talk) 17:02, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
I have created a new essay and would welcome some critique on the talk page there:

Came upon some errant talk page archives. Please take a look at Talk:Laura Loomer, because, well it has 2 archive pages Talk:Laura Loomer/Archive 1 and then, Talk:Laura Loomer/Archive 7. The reason I am posting about it here is that, ummmm....actually, it was a 2020 edit of yours that caused it, because that introduced the code of "counter=7". I have no idea how to fix this... Besides the Archive 1 & 7 issue, Archive 1 is the only page listed in the talk page header... Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 08:39, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2023).
I was recently reading your Web3 blog (which is great, by the way) and it got me to wondering if there have been any newsworthy attempts to separate people from their money by trying to hack together AI and blockchain technology. It seems almost inevitable, but I haven’t seen any examples in the news yet. 28bytes (talk) 13:49, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I just want to know why the image I added on the Jhoan Duran wiki page was removed. Was there some sort of copyright issue? MinnesotaVikingsFan5 (talk) 03:17, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
I thought about this while reading the latest gong show at Talk:Palmer Report, but for obvious reasons it seems more appropriate to bring the issue up somewhere that isn't an active battlefield.
What the hell is our deal with "fake news websites"? If you look at Category:Fake news websites, you'll see that none of them are really fake news websites. Occupy Democrats, for example, is a Facebook meme page that says outrageous things -- since it is idiotic clickbait, these things are often false, but it's not really a "fake news website". I don't think there is any indication that they are going out of their way to publish false things, or that it's their main goal, just that they are lazy and don't care much about whether things are true. Similarly, OpIndia does not seem like a fake news site: it's a real news site, just a very shitty one that does not have any decent fact-checking.
Per our own article, fake news websites "deliberately publish fake news—hoaxes, propaganda, and disinformation purporting to be real news". That is, they are completely bogus, and the people running them are aware of this, and they exist for the main reason of getting people to believe false things. It really doesn't seem to me like a simple lack of fact-checking fits the bill: certainly it causes the website to be lousy, partisan, low-quality, unusable as a news source -- but not fake.
What do you think of this? Is it worth an RfC or a larger discussion, or am I just being a pedantic chode? By the way, check the HTML note for an extra-hot take. jp×g 11:34, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary | |
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

Hi, it is regarding the repeated vandalism at Dulqueer Salmaan article. Yesterday, you AC protected it after a request at RPP, but now it is being attacked by EC users. One of them is a newbie user that recently got 'promoted' , while another one seems to be an older problem user . I've requested them to discuss the matter here. Is EC protection an option? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:45, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

You've been whacked with a WikiMinnow..
Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you might have done something silly. |
You were a little quick to hat those discussions and made a teeeeensy mistake. You added a Template:Hidden archive bottom, a Template:Hidden archive top, a Template:Hidden archive top, and a Template:Hidden archive bottom, in that order and it messed up the talk page (new threads were going inside the hidden archive haha).

Hello, GorillaWarfare,
I just thought I'd let you know that the category, Category:Incel-related violence was retitled, through CFD speedy renames, to Category:Misogynist terrorism. I'm not sure if this will affect anything related to the matter but since you edit articles on this subject, I thought I'd alert you to the change.
I hope you are having an enjoyable summer! Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 19:11, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Happy adminship anniversary! Hi GorillaWarfare! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of your successful request for adminship. Enjoy this special day! CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 16:56, 16 August 2023 (UTC) |
On 18 August 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Alex Collins (American football), which you updated.

Hi GorillaWarfare. Not sure you were aware when you removed the table caption on Rich Men North of Richmond, but as I said in my revert, they're required per MOS:TABLECAPTION, part of our larger guideline on accessibility, and it was even raised at the RfC on table captions in 2020 (Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Archive 15#RfC on table captions) that they may be redundant to sighted and visually impaired readers alike after section headers, but it was still ultimately decided we should have them.

Can I get some advice on how to handle the talk page at the Babylon Bee?
It's a bit discouraging to have an admin come through and just wholesale take out large sections of text because he doesn't personally like some sources, even if they aren't deprecated anywhere.
But of course he is an admin so I'm worried any objection will result in me being punished or steamrolled.
How should I address this? It feels like he has a free pass on consensus and source standards and gets to veto any discussion he wants. Am I reading this right? It kinda seems like a long term start he has used on other pages as well.

Hi Molly! I see you reverted a vandalism introduced by a half-illiterate, infantile troll, user 167.94.114.171. He has tried it with three different articles connected to Israel/Palestine, wasting people's time. Here it is. Would you mind taking the necessary steps to have him blocked? Thank you, and keep up the good work! Arminden (talk) 16:46, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi Molly. I just watched your YouTube video and found it warm, welcoming, and informative. I'm sure many newbies would benefit from it. Loved seeing you too. You are the real deal. Your heart and mind are in the right place. The world is a much better place because of you, so keep up the good work.
