Timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991)

From my talk archives:

Hello, Wbm1058,

This article was deleted via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991). Why did you restore the article without any discussion? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:11, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

@Liz: My bad for not leaving an edit summary on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991). I just deleted Talk:Timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991)/Archive 1, which is where I moved the old talk after the new talk Talk:Timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991) was created. Did you read that before you deleted it? If not, where did you expect to find the discussion about this? I'm fine with deleting it again, as it seems that Washington Charter was trolling us, and a reasonable time limit for them to continue engaging at Talk:Timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991) had expired. Their most recent active edit is again from 14 May 2019, now that they have six new deleted contributions. I was intending to subst: the new talk onto the end of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991) before I deleted it, but realize this was an unusual situation, and I'm not sure about the procedures for dealing with it. – wbm1058 (talk) 10:02, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

We also have three red links in hatnotes:

Timeline of United States inventions (after 1991), Timeline of United States inventions (before 1890), ‎Timeline of United States inventions (1890–1945)

Clearing out Category:Articles with hatnote templates targeting a nonexistent page doesn't seem to be anyone's priority.

But Timeline of United States inventions, I see you took care of that. – wbm1058 (talk) 10:14, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

This is a coverage gap that should be filled. Feel free to ask me or another admin for a WP:REFUND to draft space if you want to work on fixing it. – wbm1058 (talk) 12:25, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
