quick revision deletion request

hello, A pretty bad edit was made on Bird-of-Paradise, as seen here: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Bird-of-paradise&diff=prev&oldid=1239026637. I think it's worth a revdel. Gaismagorm (talk) 23:31, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Done, thank you. Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:42, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
no problem! Gaismagorm (talk) 15:42, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

KlayCax Tban

Hello. I see that you gave KlayCax a topic ban and a warning about infoboxes. I was just wondering if you were going to formally post a notice on their talk page about the topic ban, and a infobox warning notice as well. Prcc27 (talk) 08:11, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder, I seem to have let it drop amidst all the logging and closing. Now done. Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:42, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Adminship

Hi Vanamonde,

I want to request for adminship.

Sincerely,

कङञ@Vanamonde93 कङञ (talk) 14:26, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @कङञ: You have 79 edits and are still very much a newcomer to the site. I'd suggest gaining more experience before asking people about that path. Successful admins have usually spent years editing and have thousands of edits to their name. I'd just focus on improving articles that interest you which is what we're really about. You don't need adminship for that. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 14:30, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Vanamonde. I'm still working on Jehovah's Witnesses but it's in much better shape than it was when I first started rewriting it two years ago. [1] I think I'm getting closer to where I could start the FAC process, though? There's still some stuff I'd like to do before I even start that (see my sandbox) and this will probably involve several more hours of work. But when I feel like I've done the best I can, would you be willing to provide advice? I've never tried to write an FA before and I realize this is an ambitious first. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 17:51, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Clover, it is a little outside my wheelhouse but it would be my pleasure. It's a large undertaking, so thank you for doing that. Vanamonde93 (talk) 18:03, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
I'll get back to you when I've done everything I can think of to improve the article then. Thank you! Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 18:07, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 17:21, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated. Contestants put in extraordinary amounts of effort during this round, and their scores can be seen here.

Left Hand of Darkness

Greetings and Felicitations - small detail here - the book in question is a great book - I read it numerous times, love the book, the topic the themes. Is it the BEST book ever of this style - well the single citation thinks so, but this is not really NPOV or balanced. I'm just being thoughtful. Happy to chat on the matter - no edit warring stuff. I added language that is more balanced - often wonder why it was never a movie - love her work. CautionaryNote1990 (talk) 13:22, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Vanamonde, I've blocked the OP as a sock. The master is stale, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were other accounts that have gone undetected - you might wish to consider checking.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:36, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks Bbb23 - I think I'm in the clear here but I don't think I should make a habit of checking accounts I reverted on articles I wrote. Would you mind kicking this to SPI if you think a check is needed? Vanamonde93 (talk) 14:43, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Understood, but I don't think I'll file at SPI.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:58, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
