New GA Nom
HickoryOughtShirt?4, I figured that I should ping you first to let you know that I have nominated Lurie Children's Hospital for GA. I have also joined WikiCup to compete! Best of luck, Andrew nyr (talk, contribs) 06:36, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- Damn Andrew nyr, now I don't know if I should review it now that you're my competition
. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:19, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- HickoryOughtShirt?4, GA's are 35 points while your review is 5. It's up to you 😈! Andrew nyr (talk, contribs) 17:21, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

- Andrew nyr, please check the dates on the references again. For example, reference 108 has dates that is formatted differently than the others. I know it's hard to notice because you have so many references. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 08:00, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Debasmita Bhattacharya : new article
I'm NOT paid for by anyone even remotely related to Debasmita Bhattacharya . I'm startled to find that there does not exist an article just as yet for such a refined artist on Wikipedia . I'm going through this to make sure I'm able to provide more information to people in the world as I get to know the artist better myself. Hope this is helpful.
PS : Again - I'm not paid a dime for this work! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avecyogi (talk • contribs) 21:10, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Avecyogi, ok, good to know. I suggest checking our WP:YFA for assistance. Please keep in mind article writing is difficult, heck I didn't write my first article until three months of consistent editing.HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:14, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
Ryan Northcott Deletion
Hey!
Would love the Ryan Northcott page to be reinstated (you deleted) - if there are issues, please let me know and we can remove the issues that pertain to deletion (G11/G12). I'm not sure where the copyright issue comes into play, we hold the copyright to the one image attached to the page.
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scoutmasterward (talk • contribs) 03:06, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your numerous sportswomen articles. I am especially pleased to see that you made Kathy Gregory since I didn't finish my draft on her. Keep up the great work! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:56, 8 January 2021 (UTC) |
- MrLinkinPark333, Oh I am sorry, I didn't realize she was in draft. Normally I'd get a notification telling me someone made a draft article about her already. Glad there are no hard feelings
. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:49, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- HickoryOughtShirt?4 Nah. I originally had a draft on her, then deleted it cause I got overwhelmed with content. No worries here :) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:18, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Help dealing with a sockpuppet
Sorry for bugging you again, but I need help dealing with a 4x sockpuppet. I asked another admin yesterday, but I have yet to receive a response. This editor, Cool_a123 was blocked a month ago for WP:NOTHERE, and for misusing user page and talk pages. Since then, the editor has evaded their block on multiple occasions and made three registered accounts at Elijah12354, Cooper_123465, and Poolson1029. All three of them were blocked, but they have now been using an IP under 2603:8000:443:9600::/64, which has yet to be blocked. Not that blocking them has really done anything since they have managed to find ways to evade all their previous blocks. It's clear that the editor has no interest in stopping. What can be done to stop this permanently? Yowashi (talk) 21:24, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Yowashi,
Checking.... HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 01:13, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
They're back. Is it possible to get a longer block?Yowashi (talk) 05:45, 6 February 2021 (UTC)- I'm not sure if you got my message from two days ago, but I'm just letting you know that the sock is back. Yowashi (talk) 20:23, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Yowashi, Sorry! I'll check now!. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:56, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Conestoga Christian School Wikipedia page
Hello HickoryOughtShirt?4,
What error did I do on the Conestoga Christian School Wikipedia page did I do? Thanks Eagle40012o2 (talk) 17:53, 9 February 2021 (UTC) Eagle40012o2
- Eagle40012o2, I am unsure what you are talking about. I have never seemed to have edited that article based on the page history. Likewise, your edit was in September 2020 so I am unlikely to even remember. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:01, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello HickoryOughtShirt?4, Oh, I am so sorry. That I reached out to you and took your time. That is my bad. Have a great rest of your day or night wherever you are! Eagle40012o2 (talk) 23:19, 9 February 2021 (UTC) Eagle40012o2
Deleted page
Hi. I think this page should be restored. At least it cannot be deleted as speedy, since it's subject it's notable and the page already survived 2 AFDs (1, 2). I can't say about the last page version, but at some point in history the page has had a decent look, and eventually it can be restored at that state. If a deletion is still wanted, one can go though AFD again. XXN, 20:09, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Page recreation
Hi Hickory, I have recreated the page Bella Shmurda which was deleted under criterion A1. How about now? Josedimaria237 (talk) 13:24, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Another Orange Boy
After waffling between G and Frosty for a bit, I decided Kevin Hayes was the right balance between having a solid career foundation without being overly intimidating. I've put a good deal of work in on his early life and college career already, and can definitely handle his recent stint with the Flyers. If you'd be willing to collaborate, I anticipate needing the most help with his time in the Rangers, as well as a look-over of the citations -- I'm a little rusty on the work/agency/publisher distinction! No pressure, just thought I'd reach out. :) Kncny11 (talk) 22:55, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Kncny11 absolutely. It may be easier to collaborate in a sandbox, I'll start gathering information. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 01:10, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Kncny1l, I also got a fan to upload a photo of Hayes in a Philly jersey. His back is still to the camera but at least he's in a current jersey. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 02:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)- Took a look this morning. Wow! The article's already come a very long way. I filled in a good deal of his Flyers tenure and expanded the lede this morning. Kncny11 (talk) 16:56, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Kncny11, I would suggest maybe moving
Hayes credits Vigneault with his development as a professional hockey player, saying, "I think I entered the league as an offensive guy and A.V. kind of turned me into a 200-foot player and an NHL guy. At the time, I don't know if I was super excited about it — fast-forward six years and I couldn't be more happy with where my game is at.
to playing style. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:25, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Done. Also reworded the first reference to his brother, and added some citations to AV's tenure and the playoff loss to the Islanders. Kncny11 (talk) 17:36, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Kncny11, wonderful! I think once the Flyers section is expanded it can be nominated for GA. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:03, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Kncny11, Do you think Hayes is ready for GAN? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:41, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry I haven't gotten back to you! General scatterbrain. I submitted it for a copy edit with the GOCE first because I make a lot of typos. Once that's run-through, I was planning to nominate. Kncny11 (shoot) 23:45, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Kncny11, Awesome! Let me know if anyone else in orange catches your eye. I think I'm going to work on Mathieu Perreault now. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:48, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

You blocked this IP last month for vandalism to the Tim Walz article. It continues to be vandalism-only, including today, all on the same article. While the article has been set to pending changes, maybe it's worth a slightly longer block for this IP, too. Thanks! Grandpallama (talk) 18:25, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

The WikiCup
As a WikiCup judge, I have disallowed your submission of Talk:2020 Michigan graduate students strike/GA1 because the review was completed on 27 February UTC and therefore ineligible for Round 1 (being one hour too late!). It will be eligible for Round 2, so you can submit it again when that round starts. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:08, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Cwmhiraeth, sorry! It was like 8:00 my time so I was unsure if it was “the next day.” See you next round
