New articles
[change source]Hi, Cactus. When you create an article, please preview it to see if there are any issues. I was just looking at List of Ramsar wetland sites in Pakistan, and there's a big red error message at the bottom. Please check the articles you've created, and take care of any issues you see. If you aren't sure how to do that, feel free to ask. Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 20:06, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Auntof6 Alright, I'm kinda busy for a month, so if you have time can you look at ti. Reason on the top of my talk page. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 22:47, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Your DYK nomination for Human
[change source]...saying that humans share 50% of their DNA with bananas...
...was removed because the sentence was removed from the article. 2607:F140:6000:816A:18DF:FB43:6A3:B363 (talk) 20:09, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
When making new categories
[change source]Can you please add parent categories as well as articles? Please note that I already fixed the categories that you recently created. Please see Category:2021 disestablishments by country, Category:2018 disestablishments by country, and Category:Pages using infobox3cols with undocumented parameters for example. Please feel free to ask questions when you don't know what parent categories should be added. Looking at enwiki counterparts may also give hints to you. I hope this is helpful for you.

Non-admin closure of RfDs
[change source]We don't really do that here (see this discussion), so please don't. Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 16:40, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) - Hi @Auntof6, Just curious do you have any examples of problematic RFD closures ?,
- If you're referring to Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/Template:Hospitals in State of Palesitne and Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/Alireza-Jadidi then yourself and the other admin didn't close it and I wouldn't say these were problematic ?, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 18:16, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't remember every case, so I can't point to any that were problematic. However, that's not the point. The point is that we decided not to have them here. -- Auntof6 (talk) 03:30, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Davey2010: Sorry, forgot to ping you. -- Auntof6 (talk) 03:30, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Auntof6, So if you don't have examples then why this message ?, Cleaning up after admins I wouldn't was in the purview of that discussion - If Cactus didn't close it then who would and when ?, One closure was 5 hours later and the other was 12 hours later ..... So I don't see where the problem is?, If they were closing discussions as keep/snow keep then sure you'd have a point/arguement to make ... but they don't ...., Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 07:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Davey2010: We didn't decide not to have non-admin closures when they're problematic. We decided not to have them at all. So in that sense I guess they're all problematic.
- I don't see this as "cleaning up after admins" (passive aggressive much?). On the one for hospitals in Palestine, I specifically said I wasn't closing it and another admin would need to do it. If Cactus didn't close it, an admin eventually would. I know people don't like it when RfDs stay open past their date, or after an action has already been taken, but in cases like the ones you list it makes no difference exactly when it gets closed -- it's not like a bad page stayed on existence any longer.
- So I've said all I have to say on this. @Cactusisme: please don't close any more, for any reason, no matter what the situation is. @Davey2010: If you want to re-revisit non-admin closures, please do so as a general discussion. -- Auntof6 (talk) 08:08, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Auntof6 I agree we did however the community clearly expected more from the admins in terms of closing the discussions,
- I don't see how that's passive aggressive - someone's taking the time of their day to clean up the mess an admin left behind which they don't have to do - if admins closed RFDs after then this would be a non-issue, I appreciate that but leaving the RFD open invites people to comment when the article has already been deleted so in that respect I would say there is some urgency in closing them,
- Regarding the hospital RFD; Why would you nominate the template for deletion and then QD it after anyway? (the RFD was open by yourself so imho you should've left the deletion to another admin - was there any urgency here?, also the RFD should trump the authors wishes anyway),
- @Cactusisme continue as you are. Happy editing all, –Davey2010Talk 08:23, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
