In April I submitted a report to Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives that caused you to change an edit filter. However, you might want to look at your change since I made that report through the sockpuppet account User:Computer165public (I also lied about it being a public computer account). I emailed you about this but it’s probably better to leave a message. Huaqin (talk) 22:02, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My change made good sense generally speaking, so I don't see why that should matter. -- King of ♥ 23:46, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your closure of AfD for App Academy

[edit]

You recently closed the AfD for App Academy stating "No agreement on whether the sources satisfy WP:CORP". This isn't accurate or true. None of the Keep !voters argued on the basis of the sources meeting NCORP and most ignored NCORP. Chess mentioned GNG which is not the appropriate SNG. Toughpigs acknowledges NCORP but disagrees on the definition and important of those guidelines. Cunard consistently refused to engage at AfD and does not respond to anyone pointing out NCORP guidelines. Can you please review your close and examine the arguments put forward again.

People are allowed to disagree about the meaning of guidelines. You cannot treat your own view as the only correct one. -- King of ♥ 22:32, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
