AfC Reviews

Because of this I feel it is best for me not to reach out directly to the editor but when I was looking at history after the two created pages I sent to AfD, I noticed that there are quite a few AfC reviews that may (or maybe not) not pass. I wanted to bring it to leave it in your hands since you approve new reviewers. An example is This BLP which is largely unsourced, this approval which is another one with a large amount of content that is unsourced, and this BLP which is the same. I don't care either way but was going to reach out and ask them but decided against it after the ANI report was filed. CNMall41 (talk) 04:57, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Not the worst things I've seen, but I'll take another look. Primefac (talk) 12:36, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

There might be a few sourcing issues with their accepted drafts, but on the whole what's there is reliably sourced and demonstrates notability. As much as we'd like AFC submissions to be perfect, the truth is that all we really need to be doing at the end of the day is making sure that notability is demonstrated. There are some reviewers (I usually find myself in this camp) who will remove unsourced content before accepting, but it is not necessarily required. I will note also that your first link given is not a BLP as the subject died quite a while ago. If you see substandard drafts being regularly accepted, a warning may be appropriate, but at this exact point in time I'm not sure it's needed. Primefac (talk) 17:56, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Topic ban info

Hello Primefac, I saw your comments on Arbitration clarification and would like to know what the consensus was on this situation. I only ask here because I see statements from numerous administrators saying slightly different things. Please let me know so I can properly appeal this ban. Thank you, Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 17:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

I have yet to look into the matter. Primefac (talk) 17:49, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Just noting that I have replied at ARCA. Primefac (talk) 17:56, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Closing of Template:Accordionists by nationality and century category header

Hey there,

So I don't see how a merge closure is warranted given that I raised several concerns that the one merge vote did not address. What's the protocol for appealing a template close? Mason (talk) 01:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

This is the process. I'll take another look. Primefac (talk) 11:02, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm not opposed to combining subtemplates, as several of the subtemplates are already cover multiple occupations, eg (Template:Women_writers_by_nationality_and_century_category_header). But the core idea is to keep the subtemplates *really* simple to make it easy to maintain the extremely complex main template: Template:Occupation by nationality and century category header.

Love Island Games pages

Can you restore/history merge/whatever else is needed the mess of Love Island Games, Love Island Games, Love Island Games Season 1, List of Love Island Games episodes? These should all be in one article as there currently is just one season. Gonnym (talk) 15:11, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Huh. Only had time for a quick look but that's... interesting. Will see what I can do. Primefac (talk) 10:17, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Okay, so I think I see what's going on: the season 1 page got moved to Love Island Games Season 1, with the "show" information copied back to Love Island Games. I think List of Love Island Games episodes was meant to split off specific episode information from the Season 1 page. I do agree; with all of the copying and no season 2 it doesn't make sense to start splitting things. I would encourage 庄育航 to ask for help when Season 2 is a bit closer to being aired, so that creating and moving all of these pages can be done properly and with fewer errors.

Error

Please review this diff — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:19, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

It also replaced {{banner shell}} with {{WikiProject banner shell}} here — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:22, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Not sure what happened here — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:24, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Bah, I thought I had fixed those pages when I found that regex issue, must have missed a couple. As far as {{banner shell}} goes, I have no idea what happened there, must be an AWB genfix issue. I'll check the redirect page for it (EDIT:not on WP:AWB/TR so I'll raise it as a bug). Primefac (talk) 10:02, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

apologize accepted

Sorry for being rude about it but it just froze my user page and it took me two hours to fix it. thanks for your concern about over sharing though I do relise that I over did that now and I'm sure that you were just trying to protect me. I like your usere name by the way. Jaymie Campbell (talk) 19:51, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

No worries, and thanks :-) Primefac (talk) 20:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Retraction

You have asked me to retract this.

Can I just delete the whole paragraph? It will still stay in the article history though?

Sorry for the silly questions I have little experience with retractions. —-Maximilian Janisch (talk) 13:27, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Also User:fanny.doutaz has said that they do not demand a retraction, should I retract nonetheless? --Maximilian Janisch (talk) 14:03, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

They have said it is fine to leave, so it is fine to leave. Primefac (talk) 16:03, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Bot approval

Sorry for my insistence, I had pinged you at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Platybot 2 but you probably overlooked it :) The bot works as intended. Can it be approved? ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 09:17, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

I saw it, noted it, and will look at it when I have time and interest. Please be patient. Primefac (talk) 11:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Well I’m sorry but it really takes 5 minutes. Meanwhile transcriptions keep linking to a key they don’t match. All it takes is to start the bot. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 13:26, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Feel free to apply for BAG membership or ask for mine to be revoked if you think that waiting a day or two is unacceptable. Primefac (talk) 13:28, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

That was not the point. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 13:31, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Sure sounded like it. BRFA is not generally high on my priority list, and to be completely honest it's dropping further down the more you harangue me about not getting to it.

I will also note that the task is still listed as being in trial. Primefac (talk) 13:52, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

It is still in trial because there was no response after the test phase. And again, I’m sorry if I came off as insistent, but I wouldn’t have “harangued” had I received a reply instead of being ignored—and then only to be told, basically, “I will do it when I feel like it”. Have a good one. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 14:08, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

If the trial is complete, then it should be tagged with {{BotTrialComplete}}. Primefac (talk) 14:09, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
