Hi there, I see you've removed the deletion tags from the article. You can do that, because we're all voting keep and you're the nominator, but you have to also close the AfD! Instructions here: [1]. -- asilvering ( talk) 22:52, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page
A Barnyard Frolic has been reverted.
Your edit
here to
A Barnyard Frolic was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our
external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrmFM8mQQfs) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's
copyright policy, as well as other parts of our
external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our
upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an
external link that does comply with our
policies and
guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to
undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's
external links guideline for more information, and consult my
list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see

Hello, Just Another Cringy Username,
You do not have enough editing experience to judge which pages should be deleted and whether they should be deleted through speedy deletion, proposed deletion or articles for deletion. Please do not tag any more pages until you have much, much more experience editing on the project. You should not be getting involved in administrative work with an account that is only 4 days old with 100 edits. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 07:02, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

I undid your edit to
Justerini & Brooks per

Hello again, sorry to pester you. I just noticed something else you might appreciate some advice on.
I've noticed that one of your activities is removing promotional material from articles. As you have noticed, there sometimes isn't much left afterwards. Sometimes, the need for sections even vanishes, and the article becomes a stub. In case you were wondering, this isn't a problem. A good stub with just the facts is better than 7500 bytes of poorly sourced, promotionally toned material.
Regarding this, I have two things to say. First, if you find that, after removing all unnecessary promo and stub-ifying the article, it seems to lack the notability for an article, send it to AfD. Mention in your nomination that you had removed all promotional material, then noticed that it no-longer seemed to warrant an article. That will avoid you being accused of "gutting" or before nomination, which is considered bad faith and disruptive. I don't think you've been in this situation yet, but I figured you would like some advice on it before you found yourself there.
Second, if your edits result in the article being reduced to a stub, remember to go to the talk page and change the "class" parameter in the wikiproject templates to "stub". Then, choose between 1 and 4 of the most relevant wikiprojects listed there (but not all of them) and add their stub templates to the article. You can find out more about this on Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting.
Cheerio and happy editing. Mako001 (C) (T) 03:35, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello. I'm writing you to let you know that I've removed your PROD notice from Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang. I have completely rewritten the article from scratch, removing all the original research and adding plenty of cited information as well as an infobox. As you can see, the song peaked at number two in New Zealand, reached the top 20 in Australia, and was nominated for multiple awards, so I believe the subject has a valid claim of notability now. If you have any questions or concerns, please respond. Thank you. ResPM ( T🔈 🎵C) 13:57, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello! What a coincidence, I just started working on the Adventures of Mark Twain page as well and was surprised to see activity on it. I thought I'd warn you I'm watching the movie again in the next couple days to write a full synopsis, so anything you add between now and then may not stick.

On 23 April 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Wicked (Maguire novel), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Elphaba, the main character in Wicked, is named after L. Frank Baum, who wrote the book that inspired Wicked? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Wicked (Maguire novel). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Wicked (Maguire novel)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Hello Just Another Cringy Username -- I've deprodded this. As there is clear evidence of notability as well as sources (albeit not inline), it is not at all suitable for proposed deletion. Please be more careful with proposed deletion; there is unfortunately rather little oversight of the process and valuable content can be lost by poor nominations. Regards, Espresso Addict ( talk) 02:55, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
I have reverted your addition of a citation to Find a Grave on Edith Storey. Unfortunately, that source is one of several that are not reliable because they are user-generated. Please see WP:USERGENERATED for more information. Eddie Blick ( talk) 00:42, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello again Just Another Cringy Username -- I've deprodded this.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Psych-Out, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Junkyard.

You unilaterally merged five novels to Demon Princes without even initiating a discussion. At least a couple of them have review sections, with there being absolutely no doubt the rest have been reviewed as well, since Vance is considered a major science fiction writer, so your actions are not justified and have been reverted by me.

Hello Just Another Cringy Username! I wanted to reach out to see if I could be of some help with your understanding of AfDs. Earlier today you nominated a film for deletion here, where you stated there were "No sources". When I did a cursory Google search, sources from a number of RS popped up, including Variety, a green-level source for the topic at hand at WP:RSP. There were seven sources (of varying quality) I listed on the AfD page along with my keep !vote. I also pointed out WP:CONRED on that AfD, which states sources do not need to exist on the current version of the article; they simply need to exist overall (though incorporating them into the article is obviously the most preferable route).
I came to your talk page to leave you a message, and saw you've added prods onto pages that have been summarily de-prodded a number of times (if only counting the deprods on your talk page, at least five). You've nominated Harpies, Quiet Cool, and Demon Princes for deletion, and those were all kept. You also nominated the film The Nanny Express for deletion, and the only two !votes so far are for the film to be kept.
A couple friendly reminders:
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out, or visit the Teahouse, a place for new editors to ask questions. Cheers! -- Kbabej ( talk) 23:13, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Just to let you know per MOS:FILMPLOT, it is not required for film plots to have a citation. The film itself is the citation. It seems like you have removed several movie pages, which probably need to be reverted back. Here are some of the pages: Mission: Impractical, Catastrophea, Eye of Heaven, However, if the page has no citation, then instead of deleting you must first search for citations. Many of these old movies probably have citations in Google Books or older publications. Newspapers.com is another source. And if you still think they should be deleted, then it is best to submit to AFD. Lovewiki106 ( talk) 08:32, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did at

There's a process to delete articles which was followed for Idol: The Musical and there was no consensus to delete. As someone who is part of the musicals project, I'm keen to expand musical theatre articles on Wikipedia, especially when there are suitable sources, rather than have them deleted. If you genuinely believe there is no place for this article, then follow the AFD process again.
To answer your question "And at the risk of sounding juvenile, what if I do redirect it?" - then it will be undone and the correct process followed. Mark E ( talk) 09:25, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
Hey @ Just Another Cringy Username I saw that you tried to redirect a couple articles from Heros but they got reverted. I agree that they should be redirected to the season list.

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at

The first time you removed it [4], the reason you gave was "Removed maintenance tag as this article now meets GNG w/ the addition of reviews."

Hi. The new summary to this page is nicely summarized in reference to Revision as of 23:13, 20 August 2022. However I think the detailed breakdown of the chapter titles with a brief paragraph of the chapter's contents hold relevance and importance to the subject matter of the Hackers book.
I recently listened to Hackers on audible and found the old version of this Hackers wikipedia page to be helpful to follow along with the various historic events and to help remember the notable names attached to these historic events. I feel like the old page would also help many others retain all the information in this book.
I would consider adding all the things that you deleted back in under a new sub header titled "Synopsis". I also recommend the details of each chapter being added back to this page because a lot of books on audible don't list out the chapter names so a resource to find such information is important.
I wanted to reference the Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee's wikipedia page but it too has been edited and important information about the book has been removed.
Hackers is a work of non-fiction and it is American history. I believe the more information provided by sources like wikipedia only accentuates the book itself. The need to pursue editing down pages that provide details about such books should not be a priority IMO. Ianposton ( talk) 17:52, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
