Moaz AlShami

[edit]

Hi Samwalton9. Moaz AlShami has been created just three days after you deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moaz AlShami. I tagged for speedy deletion per WP:G4, but please remove the tag if that was done in error. The article was re-created by Special:Contributions/Nour0928 and I think there might be some WP:SOCK or WP:MEAT going on. The same thing has been going on with File:Moaz AlShami.jpg which has already been deleted twice as a copyvio, only to be re-uploaded again. Maybe WP:SALT or an WP:SPI is needed here? -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:30, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: Thanks for the heads up. Page deleted and salted. Sam Walton (talk) 21:25, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking a look. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:27, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mindstir Media AfD

[edit]

You were the closer of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mindstir Media, where several of the users who !voted in it had their comments struck as the nominator had accused them of being sockpuppets. Our investigation has shown that only one of the accounts was actually a sockpuppet, the others were legitimate comments and I have un-struck them in the archive. I don't think this would change the consensus in the discussion but I'm letting you know in case you'd like to reevaluate your close. The sockpuppet investigation is Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JessikaRita. Cheers. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:51, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ivanvector: Thanks for the heads up. Sam Walton (talk) 21:29, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SwisterTwister: I've moved the article back because I wasn't finished, and it wasn't an AfC submission. Sam Walton (talk) 20:02, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

[edit]

Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

[edit]

Hi Samwalton9.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Dubsmash logo.png

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Dubsmash logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:10, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Traedakidd page deleted.

[edit]

Hello, I am a writer at the Urban Boston College. This is my midterm project and it is a must that i pass. I worked on the page for Traedakidd, for my project for school. I see you have created lots of good pages.

Can you please help me re-create the page so that it is good and does not get deleted. Can you please help me sir. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roxyjanthony (talkcontribs) 18:21, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Roxyjanthony: First, are any of these accounts yours?: User:Fodea25, User:JessikaRita, User:ZolloTech, User:JonsanWhitters, and/or User:Anthonyjones15. As for the Traedakidd article: at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Traedakidd it was determined that the subject doesn't pass Wikipedia's threshold of notability. For this reason you won't be able to re-create an article on this subject. You can create another article on a different subject; one that is written about in independent reliable sources. Your teacher/lecturer should know that this was a possibility. If they haven't already, I recommend they contact the Wikipedia Education Program to discuss using Wikipedia editing as an assignment. Sam Walton (talk) 18:33, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

traedakidd is notible.

[edit]

No i do not own any of those accounts, he is notable, i did more research on him. he has many articles. he is in a movie and signed.

This is my midterm, i can't change the article to something else. Can i have your email ? I will sen over all the info about him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roxyjanthony (talkcontribs) 19:08, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Roxyjanthony: Did you personally write the article? And no, he's not notable; that was decided by the users in that discussion. If there are "many articles", please link them here and I will evaluate them. Sam Walton (talk) 19:11, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

No i do not personally know him , i am just someone who researched him and gathered lots of information . I will send the links now thank you so much for the consideration and help thus far. I look up to you and one day hope to be a great writer like you.

So you wrote the article that was deleted? Sam Walton (talk) 23:44, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sam, I won't be posting my findings until tomorrow, but I suggest you stop communicating with this person as it's a waste of your time.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:00, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Bbb23: Thanks, I suspected it might be. Sam Walton (talk) 10:20, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
