Auto Patrol?

Hey @Mdewman6, I noticed that you've been making a lot of redirects for chemistry articles which is great. If you're thinking about doing this for other compounds have you thought about requesting autopatrol privileges? Don't get me wrong I'm loving it with the current NPP drive going on, lots of easy points! Dr vulpes (Talk) 05:06, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr vulpes: I do make a lot of redirects, usually mine are autopatrolled by User:DannyS712 bot III because I am listed at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list, but sometimes it seems to be a little slow, or a human NPP like you gets to it first. I would request full autopatrol but not sure I've created enough articles for that. So, thanks for patrolling, up to you if you want to keep patrolling my redirects for easy points, or leave it for the bot. Cheers, Mdewman6 (talk) 05:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of LGBT history in Georgia for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article LGBT history in Georgia is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LGBT history in Georgia until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Administrator Elections: Candidate instructions

Administrator Elections | Instructions for candidates

Thank you for choosing to run in the October 2024 administrator elections. This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

October 15–21: SecurePoll setup phase
October 22–24: Discussion phase
October 25–31: SecurePoll voting phase
November 1–?: Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase.

The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a request for adminship (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RfA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("'crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation as a candidate, and best of luck.

You're receiving this message because you are a candidate in the October 2024 administrator elections.

Our Admin Election Test

Hello there. As we're preparing to move from one stage to the next, this is just a quick note from one member of the test group to another, wishing you well in the process of this new alternative to RfA. It seems that there are more of us in this group than some in the community anticipated, so i hope that doesn't make the experience any the worse for all of us. Whatever our individual results, i thank you, along with the rest, for stepping up and testing this process; happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 07:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Mdewman6. Thank you for your work on 2,4-dihydroxybenzenecarbonal. Another editor, MPGuy2824, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Sontochin

I closed the RFD as retarget, as the original target was obviously incorrect and the chemical is discussed in another article. But then I got curious, and found doi:10.1128/AAC.00100-12 as renewed interest in it. Do you think it's enough to write a stub that you thought a redlink would encourage? DMacks (talk) 10:47, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DMacks: Sure, I would support a stub. It seems like there is enough literature to support notability. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:30, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Officers' Row moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Officers' Row. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:13, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

If you tag a redirect for RfD but the logpage is on a previous day, you need to add |days=1 (or however many days back it is) to {{RfD}}, else the link won't work (and 'zinbot won't patrol it, which is where I come in). -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 07:14, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
