Happy editing! SatellaN64 (talk) 20:58, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

Hey there. I am helping cleanup after a user who was using LLMs to mass-rewrite article leads without any review. This was discussed at ANI and WP:AICLEAN . One of the articles they edited was Human brain development timeline, which prior to their edit had no lead whatsoever. I saw that you edited the lead afterwards but this editor was not reviewing their leads at all, demonstrated no subject matter expertise in this subject, and I am pretty sure the LLM introduced unsourced content. So I just blanked the entire lead.

Giving you a heads up as a courtesy here. Of course, if you have the expertise to write a lead for this article that would be great :) NicheSports (talk) 15:51, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Please review the template use at {{Recent death}}. Thank you, - FlightTime (open channel) 18:34, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Sorry about that. To be fair, it was still being heavily edited a few hours ago. Chess enjoyer (talk) 19:22, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

I removed the template two days ago for lack of activity, but all's good. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 20:22, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Chess enjoyer,

Please revert your closure of this AFD. This was a very bad choice for a non-admin closure especially for an editor with your limited editing experience. If you haven't already, read Wikipedia:Non-admin closure and follow the guidelines closely. If you have questions, please bring them to the Teahouse. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:05, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Done. Could you please explain what was wrong with my closure? I did read NAC, and I thought I knew what I was doing when I made the close (in hindsight, perhaps I fell into pit #1). Do you think my reading of the consensus was wrong, or just that it should've been someone more experienced? Chess enjoyer (talk) 23:55, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi, can I interest you to become member of the Lichess Wikiversity team? If you more chess fans, invite them along :) Cheers Harold Foppele (talk) 23:49, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

I didn't know that was a thing. I'll take a look. Chess enjoyer (talk) 23:53, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Chess enjoyer. Is there a reason you put Template:Non-admin comment on your comments at ANI? 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 02:24, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

@45dogs, I use that template when I think it's important to mention that I'm not an admin. I'm a little confused by your question. Chess enjoyer (talk) 02:51, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I am just not particularly used to seeing that template be used at ANI. Apologies for the confusion. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 03:06, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

No need to apologize, it's all good. Chess enjoyer (talk) 03:36, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

When you make that request for clarification, please add me as a participant. TarnishedPath^talk 05:07, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Will do. This is my first time doing anything like this, so I'm not sure who to add. Should @Springee be added as well? Chess enjoyer (talk) 05:11, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Yah Springee also. 45dogs has also commented in the discussion, but not sure whether you need to add them as a participant. You probably also need to link to the discussions at WP:AN and Springee's talk also. TarnishedPath^talk 05:14, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Chess, I'm not sure how I'm 7 words over the limit. You said I was 54 over. Per this edit I removed 54 . I wasn't aiming for exactly 54 but it worked it that way. I'm not sure how the counter shows me still over. If you agree with my count would you remove the overage claim? I can probably trim a few more words. I think the answer to the original question is clear but now I worked like a discussion regarding the lack of any way to ask for an extension. Even if the answer would be no in this case it seems like a bad idea to make it no in all cases. Springee (talk) 06:00, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

On review, using two word counters, one says 507 and another says 505. I guess there's some ambiguity over what counts as a word (I'm including every time you said someone else's name), so I'll update my statement to reflect that. By the way, "Chess" is someone else's username, so maybe don't call me that. Chess enjoyer (talk) 06:14, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Sorry about the name thing. I wonder if the counter saw things like two words with/slash as one. The overall count may be over, I was just going on the 54 words I removed (per my count) after you said I was 54 over (after letting out a long sigh :( ). Springee (talk) 06:22, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Oh, you're actually the third editor to call me that, so I'm kind of used to it. On the word count, you're not even ten words over now, so it's not a big deal. Chess enjoyer (talk) 06:29, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

I loved that submission for CSD of that excellent example for LLM content, EzyRecon. Just want to say that that was hilarious! Just wanted you to know that I literally started crying when I saw it! r f q i i ^talk! 07:23, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. When I patrol new user pages, I often find pages that were probably made by an LLM, but it's not blatant enough for G15 and they're usually G11able anyway. This is a rare case of the reverse being true. Chess enjoyer (talk) 07:37, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Occasionally I see a newer user clerking around noticeboards. It's generally a bad idea to hang around ANI (for example), even if your intentions are 100% pure. What tends to happen is that bad actors are brought to a noticeboard, so the page gets on their watchlist. Sometimes the bad actor decides they should involve themself in other board discussions. While I don't see anything in particular wrong with your work there, I thought I'd drop the friendly suggestion. So long as you don't plan on running for admin, you're just fine. Do what you want. If you have any ambitions to the mop, only show up at ANI when absolutely necessary. Love your work, btw. Thanks for everything you do. BusterD (talk) 10:47, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

If I'm reading you correctly, @BusterD, you're saying that:

1. Closing discussions at ANI could draw the attention of bad actors? (If so, noted.)
2. I'm not doing anything wrong? (If so, thanks. No one's said anything so far, so that's good to know.)
3. Closing discussions could harm my (potential) future request for adminship? (If so, I'm currently neutral about it, but I would like clarification as to how exactly.)

On the last last part of your message, you're welcome. I'm just trying to do the right thing (which makes #3 a little confusing to me). Chess enjoyer (talk) 11:38, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

You are doing right things. You are doing nothing wrong. But various choices sometimes bring various consequences. If I didn't see things to admire about your works, I'd have simply said nothing. My comment is intended to make you aware of the sometimes unexpected consequences of clerking at ANI, assuming users would consider it helpful. BusterD (talk) 13:51, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the link, that was an eye-opening read. It's clear that the general community opinion of my actions at ANI is... mixed at best. Like I said, I don't know if I want to be an admin in the future, but I would like to keep the door open. If I ever make a bid for the mop, I wouldn't cite my closures as a particularly good reason to give me one (and I would never call myself an ANI clerk of all things!). My only intention is (was? This conversation is giving me second thoughts) to save admins some time by closing the more obvious cases. It's a minor thing, really, so I don't have any issues with stopping.

@Chess enjoyer: Would you please consider whether the articles Harappan language and Indus script should be semipritected per WP:CT/SA? (I give a short motivation for my question at Talk:Harappan language#This subject is controversial and should be edited and sourced with great care. However, on the other hand, happy to say, I'm not aware of any particular case of abusal POW-editing of either article now; it's more a general worry.) Regards, JoergenB (talk) 22:23, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @JoergenB. I'm not sure why you're asking me this, as I'm not an administrator, but I'm inclined to say that protection of these pages is probably unnecessary if there hasn't been any disruption. Certainly they fall under the South Asia contentious topic, but pages are not usually protected as a preemptive measure. There are exceptions to this, however. The ones that are relevant here are if they fall under the subtopics of Indian military history or social groups, which are under the extended confirmed restriction. I don't think these articles fall under those subtopics, but maybe I'm wrong. If you're worried about disruptive editing, you can make a request for page protection, or just keep them on your watchlist. Chess enjoyer (talk) 01:42, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

I never thought people in the US were so self-righteous and IDIOT that they refuse to acknowledge objective facts. Run no where (talk) 00:09, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I hope this is the appropriate way to contact you. I received your message regarding a recent edit on Helen Leach's Wikipedia entry. Her death will be published in the local paper on Tuesday 27th January and I was expecting to be asked to provide details when making the amendment but did not see anything. Perhaps you could suggest me as to why that might be and presumably I will have to wait till the death notice has been published before trying again. Regards Janey Thomas (daughter). JETNZ (talk) 02:09, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello. Yes, this the appropriate way to contact me. If no reliable sources have reported on her death yer, then unfortunately we can't say so on our article. If you're right about it being published in a newspaper, that should be an appropriate source to cite for this. I'm sorry that we can't update the article immediately. When that paper gets published (or if another source reports it sooner), feel free to update the article. You may also leave another message on my talk page or on the Biographies of living persons noticeboard if you need any help. Chess enjoyer (talk) 02:34, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi again, the death notice has been printed in the local paper but not yet picked up online. Would a jpg of the notice suffice or should we wait till it's online. Thank you. JETNZ (talk) 21:24, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

@JETNZ, can you provide details on the newspaper, such as its name, title, and date? Sources do not have to be online in order for them to be cited. Once it's published online, then a url can be added to the reference. A photo of the picture could be useful until then, but it can't be uploaded here, as we only allow free content with limited exceptions. If you could upload an image somewhere else, that would be helpful, but you don't have to. Chess enjoyer (talk) 21:35, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Other editors have handled it now. Again, I'm sorry that couldn't have happened sooner. Chess enjoyer (talk) 22:55, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you I see the entry has been updated, the family will be glad that's done. Thanks to the editors for updating so promptly. JETNZ (talk) 05:27, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

On the mha page for izuku midoriya, people keep listing him as having a significant other. As of 2026, he does not have a significant other of any gender. This is not a shipping wiki. Please see to it the page is CORRECTLY maintained or others will keep doing it for you. ~2026-73876-9 (talk) 03:49, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi. I made that revert because it was not accurate to the cited source. However, it doesn't look like the source is considered reliable. Given that, I don't have any problems with the Midoriya not having a partner listed in the infobox. If other editors try to add one, you or anyone else can revert the edit or discuss it on the talk page of the article. Keep in mind that we go by what reliable sources say, not our personal opinions. If a reliable source said that so-and-so is Midoriya's partner, we would have probably have to include it in the article. I was just passing by, and Midoriya's romantic status isn't something I have a strong opinion on, so I'm not particularly interested in maintaining the article. Chess enjoyer (talk) 04:10, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Alright. Thank you for clarifying. The page seems to have become a sort of "mini war" which is embarrassing as there are other fandom wikis specifically FOR shipping. I have no idea why people do this kind of thing on wikipedia of all places. Me and others will handle it i suppose. ~2026-73876-9 (talk) 04:16, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

just letting you know that the page for izuku midoriya keeps being vandalized by someone who insists on using an inaccurate and untrustworthy source to claim he has a significant other. If you able to, consider locking the page ~2026-83421-8 (talk) 20:35, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Only administrators can protect pages, and I'm not one. You should go to requests for page protection if you want the article to be protected. Chess enjoyer (talk) 21:26, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, will do. ~2026-91409-0 (talk) 20:40, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello Chess enjoyer, Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This refer to the article Onek Dame Kena, which you moved to draftspace as Draft:Onek Dame Kena. Draftification was not appropriate per WP:DRAFTIFY, since this article was last edited less than 60 minutes before you moved it to draft (). Please consider using the MoveToDraft script, which guide editors through the draftification process and provides a warning when moving an article to draft space is inappropriate. Regards. QEnigma 论 08:16, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

You're right. It was close, but it hadn't been long enough to draftify the article (I'm not counting the edits by myself and the one that requested speedy deletion, since those aren't improvements to the article), and I'll check the edit history more carefully next time. However, given that it was close to an hour and that page definitely isn't ready for mainspace, I don't think it should be moved back just because of this (of course, any editor can move it back if do think it's ready). MoveToDraft is what I used to draftify the article, and a look a this diff should confirm that. I moved it despite the warning it gave me because I assumed that it was only giving it because of the CSD tagging. Chess enjoyer (talk) 08:41, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

@QEnigma: pinging you per the banner on your talk page. Chess enjoyer (talk) 08:43, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply Chess enjoyer. There is no necessity undo the move but please exercise caution the next time you move an article to draftspace. In addition, you can use {{Ping|user name}} or {{u|user name}} to notify another editor. Regards. QEnigma 论 08:53, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

You closed Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 February 23#Wikipedia and china as "Retarget to Chinese Wikipedia", however that was the original target. Everybody in the discussion recommended regargetting to Wikipedia in China. Thryduulf (talk) 13:35, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out, I'm not sure how I messed that up. I've reclosed the RFD with what the actual consensus was. Chess enjoyer (talk) 14:39, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi there. I may have mislabeled the redirect discussion for Safechuck v. MJJ Productions - saw your handle on the March 8 page to discuss redirect reverts so figured I would let you know. Bhdshoes2 (talk) 01:30, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure why you thought you had to talk to me specifically about this, but your nomination does look malformed. I'll see if I can fix it. Chess enjoyer (talk) 01:37, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Oh thanks. Appreciate it. saw your name on the redirect page for March 8 that was why i came here. Folks now keep blanking the very page we are trying to decide should be redirected! Anyway, thanks again Bhdshoes2 (talk) 19:34, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

You're welcome. I'm just a regular editor, though. I guess you saw my username when I relisted a discussion? Chess enjoyer (talk) 19:53, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

There is plenty of time remaining to meet the goal of 26 new articles representing each letter of the alphabet, to be made in the year 2026. Let me know if you're looking for ideas. Cheers! BD2412 T 00:34, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

I'll start sooner or later. Chess enjoyer (talk) 00:43, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Regarding your requested redactions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life, you may have to go deeper. The user has put that link and their name into numerous articles. CMD (talk) 05:21, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Could you give a diff as an example? I'm not seeing anything. Chess enjoyer (talk) 05:27, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

No, that's a bad idea. I'm still don't see what you're talking about, though. Chess enjoyer (talk) 06:09, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

I've looked into this further and was looking at an old account, the individual has two (non-overlapping). Relating to the second account, check the sample diffs at the start of the discussion. CMD (talk) 09:07, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi. Just an FYI; the link I posted was taken directly from a Wikipedia article created by that user, I assumed that since they posted it to WP, it was fair game to repost it. The original link posted by the editor is visible several times in the edit history (for example here), and in others; I don't know if you can remove it from there as well. Dyanega (talk) 14:50, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

They added it themselves and they don't say that that's their website, so there's no need to suppress it as far as I know. Since they haven't said on-wiki that this is their website, I don't think it was appropriate for you to add it like you did. I didn't know that when I requested oversight, though. Chess enjoyer (talk) 15:07, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Thx. I actually got a hunch to check their pronouns, but forgot. — Knightoftheswords 03:14, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

You're welcome. Even when you don't know what an editor's preferred pronouns are, it's better to just use they/them to be on the safe side. Chess enjoyer (talk) 03:20, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

This is probably the most trivial edit I've seen in 10+ years on Wikipedia. I'm not trying to get this page promoted to a featured article, I'm trying to get it deleted, and I'm pretty sure the admin who will do this would have figured it out. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:10, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Um, hi. Yeah, it probably would have gotten deleted either way, but the page isn't patent nonsense. The long string of text is (I think) an attempt to add an image, and the rest is just the start of an article. You're right, it was trivial, but is there any harm in making sure a page is tagged with the right CSD? Chess enjoyer (talk) 19:20, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted back for editing a user's main user page instead of their talk page. This was fun to watch unfold, hahaha. Thanks for the trout, it was my first! FaviFake (talk) 17:39, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Well-earned, for the both of us! Chess enjoyer (talk) 17:41, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Wow that's perfect! FaviFake (talk) 17:47, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi Chess enjoyer! Long time no chat! I was pinged by your edit summary a few moments ago about this image and exporting it over to the Wikimedia Commons (here). If you believe that moving it to be hosted there would be more beneficial than keeping it hosted here locally, then hell yeah - go for it! ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 22:42, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi! I also just exported File:Meningioma Removal 2.png while I was at it. This'll let other language wikis (or anyone at all) use the photos, so I thought exporting them could only be a good thing. I was just surprised that it took this long for someone to think if it; File:Brain Tumor MRI.jpg was exported almost a year ago! (Also, most of that happened either before I was active or while I was still a newbie, but I'm glad everything turned out okay. You happen to be one of the nicest editors I know, and this place is definitely better with you than without :)) Chess enjoyer (talk) 23:06, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

I am SO SORRY for everything that happened on Earth. I want to be better than this. Please forgive me. 😔 Epicazowski (talk) 12:00, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Relax, Epicazowski. The other editor was arguably being more disruptive, given that consensus on the talk page is against keeping the blue marble as the lead image, so I don't blame you as much as the other editor. That said, you need to start using the talk page when you're reverted instead of just reverting back, and you should explain any revert that isn't obvious vandalism with an edit summary. That said, they didn't use edit summaries either, so everything I said applies to them, too. Chess enjoyer (talk) 16:57, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Ok. Epicazowski (talk) 17:25, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I'm The username filter bot is way too sensitive. I noticed that you provided a warning to a user after reverting vandalism(thanks!) but jumped immediately to their final warning. As per WP:FAITH, users are generally supposed to assume that others are acting with good intentions. Next time, it might be better to start with the first warning({{subst:Uw-vandalism1}}. Thank you!

I can see why you think I was harsh (and maybe I should have used the second-level warning instead), but how could changing the short description of a living person to "twat" possibly be in good faith? Chess enjoyer (talk) 16:17, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Also, @The username filter bot is way too sensitive, I see that you've been reverting vandalism, too (thank you!). You should consider enabling twinkle. It makes reverting and leaving user warnings a lot easier. Chess enjoyer (talk) 16:22, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Second-level would've been fine, probably (maybe can change now...?). The edit could've been a joke or nonserious, so first-level is fine, unless it's repeated behavior. That's the point of warnings, but you know that. I'd just say that final was WP:BITEy. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 16:47, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

You're right. I went overboard because it was a biography of a living person, and we're supposed be more cautious around those. I tend to go straight to level two if there's no chance the edit was in good faith and it contained slurs or something, but using an only warning there was excessive. Chess enjoyer (talk) 16:57, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, it probably was clearly not good faith. I definitely agree with level two-ish for this warning. Also, thanks for the recommendation of Twinkle. I'll see if I can install it soon. The username filter bot is way too sensitive (talk) 17:34, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

I will gladly stop replying, but just noting that (I think) I am at just about 1000 words, or a little over, within that discussion. I'm assuming the extra 800 also encompasses the many other discussions on that page. 🐔 Chicdat  ^{Bawk to me!} 18:40, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

See my recent revert. I may have gotten confused. Chess enjoyer (talk) 18:41, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

I was wrong. You've still got ~60 words, not counting the quotes and the text you struck. Sorry about that. Chess enjoyer (talk) 18:50, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Just wanted to say thank you for fixing my spelling mistakes on the userbox categories. Yikes. I don't even think "humourous" is the correct spelling in any dialect?? Yeah, uh, the redirect HumourousHumourous is an {{R from misspelling}}. Another yikes.

I knew there was at least one U, somewhere, at least... 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 20:21, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

You're welcome. I thought it was a British-English spelling. I looked it up on Wiktionary, and it turns out we're both right; it's a misspelling that only occurs over there. Chess enjoyer (talk) 20:28, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Beautiful. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 20:31, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Unless they have reverted it, which they haven't, there is no reason to remove the CSD. – LuniZunie_(talk) 19:05, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

The CSD actually also helps bring admin attention, the only reason to wait until the block is if you know they are going to edit war. – LuniZunie_(talk) 19:07, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

@LuniZunie, I just thought it was too soon. You and I both knew we were looking at a duck quacking into a megaphone, but that G5 couldn't be actioned until they were actually blocked as one. I hadn't thought about it bringing admin attention, though. Chess enjoyer (talk) 19:40, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

It can actually be actioned before they are blocked, the being blocked is based on the master account; which is blocked. – LuniZunie_(talk) 19:42, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

I chose mine, but yes, thanks! Valereee (talk) 23:18, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

back a couple hours ago i did a edit on your wikipedia about Kim Ju Ae and i was adding one of Kim Ju Ae’s latest appearances not putting in deceased people in it or anything just writing about that in march this year she was for sure driving a tank with kim jong un and top officials on top of it and just check the internet and news articles you may find this sorce of information Isaiahs role plays (talk) 06:08, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi. Was this edit you logged out? I was able to find a source that covered most of the content and cite it in the article, but you should really be citing sources yourself instead of expecting others to do it for you. Otherwise, editors are likely to remove it as unsourced, like I did initially. Chess enjoyer (talk) 06:41, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi Chess enjoyer. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits. For more information about when rollback is appropriate, see Wikipedia:Rollback § When to use rollback.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the permission will be revoked.
• Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, and feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate use of rollback. If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin) and Wikipedia:Rollback. Good luck and thanks! ASUKITE 16:05, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Does it seem a little WP:POINTy to you that Katzrockso deliberately reinstated unsourced information to justify their "keep" !vote in the RFD? Ten Pound Hammer (they/them) • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 18:25, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Well, that guideline is about making edits you don't actually agree with to make a point, and I assume that Katzrockso genuinely thinks the information should be there. I don't think WP:POINT applies. That being said:

1. @Katzrockso, I would prefer that you add sources when you reinstate challenged material, not later, per WP:BURDEN.
2. @TenPoundHammer, I don't think this was a valid use of Rollback. It wasn't obvious vandalism, and none of the other uses of Rollback seem to apply. Per point one, I think the edit was otherwise okay, it just needed an edit summary.

Chess enjoyer (talk) 18:52, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

I was at work at the time, which is why I was unable to go search through the references I had previously uncovered when researching for the AfD nomination. No WP:BURDEN challenge was stated, the material was initially removed for mentioning a "non notable org", which is an invalid reason for removal. WP:ARTN and WP:NNC make it clear that non-notable topics can certainly (and very often are) included within other articles, but they just don't warrant a standalone article. Katzrockso (talk) 20:27, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Notability aside, I don't think any content that has a {{cn}} tag should be restored without a reference to a reliable source, regardless of whether the edit summary had an explicit burden challenge. However, I knew all of that would become moot once you added those sources, and that's why I didn't revert you myself. Chess enjoyer (talk) 20:51, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

@Katzrockso: my apologies for assuming bad faith. I still think the history of the article (again: A7'd, restored, AFD'd, deleted, upheld at DRV, then re-created by me anyway to mitigate off-site harassment) is enough that the redirect should not stand, per both WP:UNDUE (other game show personnel were also at Game Show Congress; why this one in particular?) and WP:NOPAGE (given the contentious history of the page). Ten Pound Hammer (they/them) • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 13:05, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

WP:REDIRECTPURPOSE states Subtopics or other topics that are described or listed within a wider article. (Such redirects are often targeted to a particular section of the article.). A7, AfD deletion and a DRV are not under the list of reasons to delete a redirect.

But this is not RfD, so I'm not sure why we are discussing the merits of the redirect. Katzrockso (talk) 23:37, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I didn't know if I wanted to join the heated debate going on over there, but I thought I should comment on something that involved me directly. Chess enjoyer (talk) 02:29, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Sorry if you did not want a ping for that thread, though.

I did find your rationale to be compelling regarding the non-explicit image. and wanted to point out why I had that stance. :) Issac I Navarro (talk) 02:33, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

No need to apologize, I don't mind being pinged. Chess enjoyer (talk) 02:40, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

It is just that I understand, given the nature of the article (as it involves a children’s cartoon being turned into pornographic content), that some may not wish to engage with it. Also, as you mentioned with how it was getting heated, I felt that some WP:♥ to the involved editors was in order. Issac I Navarro (talk) 02:48, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

I hope this message was uplifting. Once again, thank you for your continued years of service and contributions on Wikipedia as a whole. Issac I Navarro (talk) 02:50, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
