DYKs

Re your comment about "drive-by nominations". As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter who started the article, or who nominated it. A drive-by can encourage a newer editor to write more articles. It encouraged me when I first started editing some 20 years ago. So, if you spot a new article with an interesting fact about it, feel free to nominate it at DYK. Mjroots (talk) 06:46, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries @Mjroots:. In fact, my first DYK nom was truly a drive-by nomination which I nominated just in-time: Cozy game (nom page) as I never edited the article other than (just now) to add to the cozy games category. I consider Jubilee Bridge (Tay) to be semi-drive-by since I improved it after nomination. The Midland Main Line upgrade was mostly edited by another user, then I proved that to GA and got that onto DYK. I sometimes considered a drive-by nom, but I often forget about it unless I created/improved it myself. My guess is that only 10% of created articles get nominated by DYK. My guess is that not many people know about DYK. JuniperChill (talk) 09:54, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let me also add that I created and nominated Tiny Glade (nom) just before the 2024 rail crash in Wales. JuniperChill (talk) 10:48, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And the Tiny Glade article is getting a lot of views, almost 1000 yesterday, way more than I expected. I bet the DYK will get over 500 views per hour. JuniperChill (talk) 13:46, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling error

I don't think there is a problem with correcting a spelling error even in a closed discussion per WP:REDACT as all it does is correct a spelling and the only way the meaning may be considered to have been changed is as a result of the error. I don't wish to have spelling errors in my posts and given that I later discovered it I don't think there is a problem with simply correcting it. I'm aware that correcting spelling errors etc in other people's comments is generally frowned upon, see Template:Uw-tpv1 but I don't think that applies with you're own posts even if archived, thanks. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:55, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out you've been doing it to others as well and none of the others have been reverted. I think this is a fine example of WP:IAR which I forgot about, and possibly also WP:NOTBURO. You are welcome to revert what I did to your comment at Talk:Newhaven. I would never edit others comments except under WP:TPO. There's even a discussion going on about this too about applying WP:TPO on archived discussions JuniperChill (talk) 23:34, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I don't really think there is a problem correcting typos even in archived discussions on you're own posts. As far as other people's typos go I don't do this except in cases like this where the typo would cause confusion in a discussion and if I do I always make sure I ping the user. I do occasionally remove double signs or additional headers from move discussions but otherwise per TOP I don't generally edit other people's posts. That said if I saw someone correcting typos in other people's posts I wouldn't revert or ask them not to unless the person who posted the comments complained about it.

Information icon Hello, JuniperChill. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:List of Emmerdale characters (2025), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 09:06, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page mover granted

Hello, JuniperChill. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! SilverLocust 💬 18:50, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, JuniperChill,

I was just writing a closure statement for this AFD when you went ahead and closed this discussion. FYI, I don't think this AFD discussion was an appropriate one for an NAC closure but I'm not going to revert your action. We'll see if it is contested at DRV. Liz Read! Talk! 04:50, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While the result is not one I support (I put forth "weak delete"), I am much more troubled by the logic used in the closure. To quote one line from it: "I would say that judging by the votes below, she just about passes the notability criteria." This has two major problems: arguments are not supposed to be considered "votes", and by saying it just about passes, that means that the subject doesn't really pass the criteria. Since a deletion discussion is supposed to be showing how policy and guidelines apply, this finding is inconsistent with a keep. The closing also creates its own arguments of concern over the article, having to do with the subject's age. The bulk of it seems less like a closure statement and more like a "delete" argument that should've been placed during the discussion. I am not sure that my concerns meet what is asked for at WP:DRV, but I do ask that JuniperChill consider revoking the closure and allowing an admin to address the matter. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 06:30, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have now raised the closure at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2025_January_3#3_January_2025. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 16:02, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JuniperChill,

I just relisted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raegan Revord (2nd nomination) as an uninvolved administrator in my individual capacity per WP:NACD, after reading concerns raised about it at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2025_January_3#Raegan_Revord.
