Non-admin AfD close[edit]
Hi there, you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tristan Tate (2nd nomination) as keep, but this is obviously a controversial discussion and shouldn't be done by non-admin closers. I think you should revert your close. (Personally, I also think you may also want to avoid doing any closes at all, since you have only limited AfD participation.) -- asilvering (talk) 17:45, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Is there a reporting path for stuff like this? James.folsom (talk) 23:03, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- @James.folsom you can take someone to WP:DRV, or WP:ANI if it's really getting out of hand. -- asilvering (talk) 00:18, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- This editor self-reverted one of these, so maybe it can just be handled that way. –Novem Linguae (talk) 00:34, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- That's my hope, yes. But the question was about the path for reporting. But can't uninvolved admins also revert an inappropriate nac? @Novem Linguae, that could be you... -- asilvering (talk) 00:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Same for Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sisante_Wind_Farm as it's still too premature to decide on that as well, it hasn't even been re posted. James.folsom (talk) 23:03, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- I have undone the closes for sisante wind farm and tristan tate. If there are any more XFD closes of mine that I still need to revert let me know. Shadow311 (talk) 14:08, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Metropolis, Illinois[edit]
The Paducah, KY-IL micropolitan area was upgraded to a Metropolitan Statistical Area by the United States Office of Management and Budget in July, 2023. This includes the Kentucky counties of McCracken, Ballard, Livingston, and Carlisle and Massac County, Illinois, which would include all incorporated and unincorporated entities located in these counties. The OMB bulletin 23-01 was cited. Check this source and this should eliminate any question of accuracy. 199.36.132.34 (talk) 18:20, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Website URL change[edit]
Shardow311,
This was the first edit I've done personally and wasn't aware of the Conflict of Interest policy; however, I've been trying to get all search engines and other web pages that redirect to our site updated with our new website address "https://www.fbcw.org". We've moved off the apex domain for DNS reasons and the complications resulting from trying to use the apex domain as a website host. You can verify that https://fbcw.org no longer works and that we have moved to https://www.fbcw.org for all main website pages. Unfortunately Google is taking a long time to implement our requests to re-index, so search results are all wrong still. Thanks for understanding our situation and forgiving our now understood inappropriate attempt to make this change ourselves.  FBCW777 (talk) 19:40, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

When you rate stuff[edit]
When you rate articles, could you try to add them to a project as well? Sometimes it's a bit difficult to come up with one, but usually you can. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:50, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Marking edit requests as answered[edit]
When you answered an edit request, you didn't mark the request as answered by setting |answered=yes
. Thanks for completing the edit request itself; just a quick reminder to mark it as done. jlwoodwa (talk) 19:34, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Florida Power & Light[edit]
Hi Shadow311, I'm not sure if you saw but I made an updated infobox edit request on the Florida Power & Light Talk page after your last message there. Would you be able to take a look? I'd really appreciate it. FPL Daniel (talk) 14:48, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
AFD/Brian Peck[edit]
Hi, I was just wondering how you concluded the consensus was KEEP when most arguments were not strong, many clearly in breach WP:RGW and WP:ADVOCACY, and some from accounts created solely to comment. Thanks! WikiMane (TP2001) (talk) 17:23, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- @ThunderPeel2001 From what it looked like, no one was supporting the deletion of the article. Some of the people that were against the deletion had 50k, 18k, and 20k edits. Shadow311 (talk) 18:47, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Shadow311 Hey, sorry. Just getting back into some Wikipedia editing. This just popped into my head again. I'm still confused by your decision, because (according to the documentation) it's not the number of votes, it's the reasons given that count. And the reasons were nearly all against WP guidelines. When the poor reasons were removed, the arguments between delete/keep seemed even? Although I've been involved in many pages, this was the first time I've gone through the AfD process and I found it completely confusing as nobody seemed to follow the guidelines? Just so I can understand, which arguments did you feel had merit? Thanks! (Still learning!) WikiMane (TP2001) (talk) 22:02, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Comment on Draft:List of Grenades[edit]
You left a comment on my draft suggesting I add inline citations to every entry. I've looked at other lists and I thought that linking the separate article for every entry was sufficient enough. That if somebody wanted to read more or get sources, they could check its own page. I'm just wondering and want more clarification if you think that it's best to add citations to everything or if links to other articles are enough. :-) SourPieMe (talk) 21:17, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Last sentence of WP:UGC. Shadow311 (talk) 21:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- I get that, but practically every list under Lists of weapons doesn't have everything cited except for things that are not on each item's Wikipedia page. I don't see how the draft is any different from those on that list of lists. SourPieMe (talk) 23:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Kind of the situation with WP:DOYCITE. Shadow311 (talk) 12:58, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've went and looked at some guidelines, and I'll just say this now, I absolutely appreciate your comment and you trying to help, I just think I've made my mind up. WP:LISTVERIFY says they must have inline citations if they have any of the 4 materials where they're required. A list of grenades doesn't fit any of them. It also says obviously appropriate material does not require citations for stand-alone lists. SourPieMe (talk) 22:10, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Shadow. I dispute your non-admin close and request an admin do it. May you please revert your closure and add a note discouraging another NAC? Cheers, Mach61 02:16, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Deletion review for Open Book Collective[edit]
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Open Book Collective. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Mach61 22:32, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Draft inquiry[edit]
Hi there, Hope you're keeping well. My draft was just declined. Is it to do with my references? The links I'm using? or something else maybe? I'm very new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Martynlukeact (talk) 16:53, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Part of it is that you used multiple external links in the body of the article, which goes against WP:ELBODY. You also were using a large amount of Self-Published references, which goes against WP:SPS. I suggest reading WP:RS. Shadow311 (talk) 17:02, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- I see, thank you for that. I'll look into it.
- Take care. Martynlukeact (talk) 17:06, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of User:Tonywalker2050/sandbox[edit]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User:Tonywalker2050/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Qcne (talk) 13:04, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Could you perhaps explain which part of the draft was written non-neutrally? S5A-0043Talk 15:36, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- It repeatedly refers to the subject as popular and refers to it in a overly positive way. Shadow311 (talk) 15:40, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- I have to disagree. “popular” and “viral” are among the most common words used to describe the subject by the sources themselves, including English ones. Plus, there was a “reception” section highlighting some of the criticism against the subject, so I fail to see how it was described “in an overly positive way”. Admittedly I re-read the article and found 1-2 parts where I would not have written in the manner I did a few months ago, but I still don’t find them too major for a fail.

Your warning[edit]
Hi, I noticed you recently reverted this IP user's edits to their own talk page and warned them for vandalism on their own talk page. It's important to note that most users are permitted to edit their talk page as they please, so long as they remain civil. Is there something I missed, or was this a minor mistake? Thanks,NeuropolTalk 15:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Battle of Hashidayama[edit]
How come it was denied? I thought the references i put were enough, ive seen pages with 0 references get accepted + i gave quotes to thr parts of the source i referenced (not to mention the japanese version of the page had 4 references unlike my 11) BeamLSB (talk) 09:09, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Pages without any references should not be accepted and most likely were not processed by an AfC reviewer. Please see the Verifiability policy. Just using quotes, is not providing an actual source. Shadow311 (talk) 13:08, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Ethnic Faces[edit]
Hello Shadow311,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ethnic Faces for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.
If you don't want Ethnic Faces to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hi, What are you doing moving this article into mainspace when its an identical recreation of article that has been deleted at csd, afd and proded about eight times and salted. Are you not checking the articles your promoting. This is clear paid for UPE article and its unacceptable to move such trash into mainspace. scope_creepTalk 19:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
