Hi, you closed Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User DancingwiththeAllstars creations as delete because of Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia (no attribution).
I am finding related pages in user space (mainly user talk), similar drafts in Spanish about dancing and wrestling shows:
Can these be speedily deleted if they are unattributed translations of English articles?
Other pages do not seem to be translations of English articles, but drafts on sub-topics of doubtful notability e.g. individual seasons or spin-off shows. I don't know why they would use enwiki to do this in Spanish. – Fayenatic London 11:14, 30 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

New ti Wikipedia but added Accidents and Incidents to Flair Airlines after a runway Excursion in November. You said the incident wasn't notable, but many airlines have their runway excursions listed in Wikipedia. Feels like this is more of a matter of your opinion than a matter of Wikipedia consistency. Readsmorethanwrites (talk) 19:49, 6 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Minor runway excursions are not notable and the fact that other articles contains them is an indication they should be removed. Adding runway excursions would add multiple incidents to every airline. It's not encyclopedic. As to it being my opinion please read Wikipedia:WikiProject Airlines/page content#Incidents and accidents and Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents. Also incidents are not normally presented in table format. Ahunt do you have an opinion on this? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 23:02, 6 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the ping there. Yes I agree, runway excursions are generally minor incidents, with little or no damage and no injuries or deaths. The most common case is a slightly high, or hot approach on a marginal length, wet runway and the nosewheel ends up off the end, in the mud. Embarrassing, but the aircraft is usually back in service quickly, after a deplane, tow and inspection. These are WP:RUNOFTHEMILL as incidents go and in most cases just not notable for an encyclopedia article. As noted, if other articles have similar non-notable incidents they should be removed. Most are added by well-intentioned, but new editors, who just assume if it made the local news that it belongs in Wikipedia. See WP:NOTNEWS. - Ahunt (talk) 00:16, 7 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for linking the project info! I know that it’s been a couple weeks and the aircraft hasn’t flown since, it’s still in Kitchener. The full aircraft also left the runway, so I’ll keep an eye on any damage reports and update from there.
Table formatting was copied from Air Canada I believe. Readsmorethanwrites (talk) 05:26, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, Happy New Year. I was wondering if I could trouble you to look at a user who is edit warring to spam this article with an unsourced TV show espisode. The user has been warned repeatedly at User talk:Harry Whe for edit warring, adding unsourced text and what looks like an undeclared COI as well on his talk page, as he has claimed to have inside information from the show's director in his edit summaries. His contribution history seem to show that most of his edits are to promote the same TV across a wide range of aircraft accident articles. He has now made four reverts to this article, even after all the warnings from two different editors. If you need detailed diffs I can provide them.

Thank you for your contributions to this encyclopedia using 21st century technology. I hope you don't get any unnecessary blisters. Hi, I know this is really out of the blue, and please feel free to ignore this if it's too much, but I was wondering if I could ask a favour of you. I created an article on an Inuit politician, Simonie Michael, and I brought it to GA. You've already helped to improve this article, bringing it to my attention that I didn't have the grammar quite right on Inuk/Inuuk/Inuit (you can still see traces of that conversation on the Talk Page). Now I've decided to begin the push to get the article to FA. One big area that I know the article could improve in is images, but it's just so darn hard to even figure out where to begin in getting relevant photos. If I Google Image search Simonie Michael I see two super grainy photos of him (basically the same photo), supposedly from some really old CBC article, but the article itself no longer has those images so I don't even know who they belong to! And the only other existing photo is a sculpture of his, which even if I could use it, wouldn't really make the article much better. So, here's where the favour comes in. I know that Cambridge Bay is extremely distant from Iqaluit, where Simonie Michael lived, but you're the only active Wikipedian I know of with a connection to Nunavut, so I was just wondering if you might have any connections or any ideas that might help to get a good photograph of anything related to Simonie Michael. I doubt we can get a photo of the man himself, but maybe someone could take a picture of a building similar to the ones that Simonie Michael's company built, or a photo of Simonie Michael's boat at Apex beach, or anything more related than the random pictures of towns that I've currently populated the page with. Any ideas help! Thanks so much for any thought you might be able to give this. - Astrophobe (talk) 15:00, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello, CambridgeBayWeather,
I just thought I'd let you know that there was just an AFD about this individual, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ajai Sharma (Chef), so future articles, if you come across them, could also be tagged CSD G4. That article was written by Ajai Sharma himself or so he identified his account. Thanks for protecting the page title. Liz Read! Talk! 05:32, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
How 2-day-old articles violate the (new-ish?) 90-day guideline? Did you decide to undo all of my moves without looking at the articles or talk on the user's page? Articles associated with Ashley Flowers have a history of PR work. This user seemed to be not involved with that, but I'd encouraged them to take the 1-2 source articles on Anatomy of Murder, CounterClock, and Audiochuck to something passable before taking the articles to deletion, which is within guidelines, is it not? DiamondRemley39 (talk) 10:07, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article. You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles. Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Ayit Aviation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

I hope you are well. I noticed that you were doing a lot of article page moves lately.

I posted a warning to stop for now but I don't really know the MOS policy pages to cite.

Ah. Sports related pages. Not something I'm clear on. I would think that moving "year Star World Championships" to "year Star World Championship" is probably correct. I'm not sure that moving Brynäs IF Dam to Brynäs IF (women) is much of an improvement, except it's English. For women's teams there seems to be several way to list them. See Category:Women's Super League teams. I have seen "team name" as a disambiguation to both a women's and men's team but not many and I can't find one right now.

You changed the page from crimean tatar gypsy to crimean tatar romani, but that is exactly the mistake. This group does not call themselves Romani. Therefore the term gypsy was correct. The translation of the self-designated word Cingene is gypsy not roma.

Reversal of page move unclear

Hello, you reversed my move of Absence of Malice to Absence of Malice (1981 film), without explanation. I had posted this proposal to the talk page with explanation and had no comments for and against, so I went ahead.

Masato.harada (talk) 10:50, 24 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
The explanation was here. You left a comment on the talk page but not a proper discussion, see Wikipedia:Requested moves, especially as the page had been at that title since 2003. Given that the page has been there for over 20 years it indicates there is not much confusion. Hi, CambridgeBayWeather,
A new editor went a little crazy tonight moving an article all around and ended up creating a helluva lot of redirects (see Special:Contributions/Greg Rodrick). I know we generally keep redirects that are the result of a page move but I don't think we have a use for all of the redirects created by this editor's indecision about where to move an article.

Hello, I noticed you deleted this article under CSD G5 a few days ago. He is an MPA (MLA), clearly passing WP:NPOL. So I'm accepting it now. Regards! 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 14:01, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have reversed the moves you made at both of these articles locations for the following reasons:
The average reader by default gets the 2023 if they simply search "river wild" in the WP search. They will likely not be looking for this article most often. Similarly, the new 2023 has also been referred to as "The River Wild", so some readers might be meaning to find it when they search "The River Wild". Directly both titles to the disambiguation page allows the reader to specify which of the articles they were wanting to read, should they type either of these searches. By allowing each article to have the year they were released, they can avoid these issues.

I would like to move the page Ceremonial Guard to Ceremonial Guard (Canada). I see that this move was attempted before by another editor, but you reverted it. I believe that there was no talk page discussion at the time, so I would like to explain my reason here. If there are no objections from you, I will WP:BOLDLY carry out the move.
The reason is that "Ceremonial Guard", in general usage, does not refer to the Ceremonial Guard of Canada, but describes a general class of military groups known as a Guard of honour. So, I think that the current page at Ceremonial Guard should be moved to Ceremonial Guard (Canada), and a redirect be made from Ceremonial Guard to Guard of honour.

FYI: I added the flags back to the article because I read MOS:FLAGS a couple of times and I don’t really see why it applies. It’s a table, not an infobox and it doesn’t introduce any POV issue to have flags there either. NM 05:03, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
The flags are not appropriate as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Inappropriate use in the subsections "Encyclopedic purpose" and "Do not use too many icons". And yes, I see that is saying icons but the page says "...icons encompasses any small images – including logos, crests, coats of arms, seals, flags". They are a lot of flags which are distracting and serve no encyclopedic purpose in that they don't add anything to the understanding of the article. Also see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Do not emphasize nationality without good reason. What encyclopedic purpose do the flags provide? images of the settlement would be a better idea By the way I didn’t say anything about “nationalistic pride”.

I think it would be best to keep the snow color blue because that is the standard for US weatherboxes. Canada has the green snow color in their weatherboxes. I don't think that it's very problematic to read the "sea of blue." Akamaikai (talk) 21:09, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Except that some US boxes use blue and some green. It's not just the sea of blue but mainly that snow is a type of precipitation, as is rain, and it should be consistent. Either precipitation is all blue or all green. If it's all blue in a warmer area it's less of a problem but blue in colder areas creates a problem. See Template talk:Weather box/Archive 6 (the first box) for an example. It gets worse if you have wind chills and temperatures in the blue as well.

Hi CambridgeBayWeather, moments ago we attempt to remove overlinked locations of "Moscow" and "Saint Petersburg" on Alexander Pushkin article reverted five times for not following WP:MOS guideline.
