Veteran Editor

Vestrian24Bio is taking a short wikibreak to get ready for exams and will be back on Wikipedia once the exams are over on 9 December 2024 (30 December 2024 ). Most likely, however, Vestrian24Bio will not be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long and will probably be making some small edits anyway.

This page is archived for the years 2022, 2023, 2024.

Talk:ICC World Cup Qualifier

Hi, thank you for your contributions. Please note the 2021 RM at Talk:ICC World Cup Qualifier. The consensus was "not moved", and therefore none of these articles can be moved without discussion.

I had undone some of these pagemoves yesterday, but I see that some have been moved again today. I urge you to use WP:RM if you wish to move any of these articles, and respect the community consensus. 162 etc. (talk) 19:19, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that none of these articles were explicitly named in the RM discussions at Talk:2027 Cricket World Cup. The outcome of those discussions affects only the nominated articles. 162 etc. (talk) 19:24, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@162 etc.: Should I go ahead start a new RM then? Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 05:38, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. 162 etc. (talk) 17:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of 2024 Men's T20 World Cup

The article 2024 Men's T20 World Cup you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:2024 Men's T20 World Cup for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Prod tags

Hi Vestrian24Bio! Just to clarify something - no one needs to be accused of "keep[ing] removing the tag" in relation to WP:PROD, on the grounds that once removed it should never be added back. :) - Bilby (talk) 10:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And this is why the PROD process is a waste of space..... Joseph2302 (talk) 10:54, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree... Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:24, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The role of prod is to avoid an AfD if there is not going to be any disagreement. Which makes it handy for uncontroversial deletions. If there is a disagreement, indicated by removing the tag, then AfD makes sense. Accordingly, I think prod serves a useful role. - Bilby (talk) 11:34, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PROD doesn't work because editors that don't understand notability or IP users can remove them. Or you can just request undelete of a PROD after it's deleted. All users should just use AFD as it is the only sensible way to get non notable rubbish deleted. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:47, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to see it as a warning - "You have seven days, or I am likely to send this to AfD - if you can fix it before then it won't need to go there". As such, I like it as a way of indicating a problem that has a time limit, as opposed to simply tagging the article for notability (as those tags can remain for years with nothing being done). But I understand that the experience of others will differ. - Bilby (talk) 11:52, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

January 2025

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. Thank you. C F A 18:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CFA: I did assume good faith, which is why I posted at WP:RM/T instead of reporting to WP:AIV. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 04:20, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You called Sportzlove a "vandal" for performing a series of moves you did not agree with. Disruptive? Maybe. But it was not vandalism. I suppose the correct template here would've been {{uw-npa}}. C F A 04:29, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There were RM consensus against those moves (Talk:National Cricket League#Requested move 25 September 2016 for example), I listed those moves not because I disagree with them, I listed them because they were against existing RM consensus.

Also per WP:MOVEVANDAL, which says Changing the names of pages to disruptive, irrelevant, or otherwise inappropriate names. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 04:37, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move vandalism would have involved moving Genghis Khan to Idiot, for example. The action of moving against consensus may have been disruptive, but the titles themselves were not vandalism. See WP:NOTVANDAL: In short, all vandalism is disruptive editing, but not all disruptive editing is vandalism.. C F A 04:50, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
