Yo Ho Ho!

Zoë Yujnovich moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Zoë Yujnovich. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted it 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 the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. MediaKyle (talk) 19:18, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Hello @MediaKyle: why have you done this? Edward is a veteran experienced editor and autopatrolled so I'm not sure why this page came up for review at NPP. If you really think the article is not up to scratch, you should nominate it at AFD rather than unilaterally deleting it. In any case, it looks to me to have sufficient sources discussing the subject and fine for a work in progress. Please reinstate. Cheers   Amakuru (talk) 19:48, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
It didn't come up at NPP, I found it while patrolling Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/New articles ... I draftified it because of a lack of reliable secondary sources, and I maintain that it's not ready for mainspace in this state. I would be so bold to say that not a single reference in the article contributes to WP:GNG at this time. Of course I have no objections to Edwardx moving it back after improving it... I disagree that AfD would be the answer in cases like this, draftifying gives editors a chance to improve the article. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 20:16, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Automation to deal with overlinking?

Hi, just saw one of your edits to remove overlinking and then had a look at your recent history only to find similar edits. Do you use any script for assistance? Daisy Blue (talk) 11:36, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, Daisy Blue. Overlinking is a pet peeve of mine, as you have noticed. One could use some level of automation, perhaps Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser, and search for particular overlinked words or phrases. For example, any linking of Paris, London, France, or United States will almost always be overlinking. Personally, I stick to articles I stumble across and do it all manually, trying to evaluate links in context. It is very easy in the Visual Editor (much easier for this task then the Source Editor) to just click on a link and then unlink it. And oddly satisfying (that could just be me). Edwardx (talk) 18:25, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply! In that case, do you have any other general tips beyond the relevant guidelines? Any other specific things you commonly run into? Daisy Blue (talk) 19:30, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tops Pizza

Notice

The article Tops Pizza has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not enough sources. Most of the page is about how some of their employees may have crimed a couple decades ago (it's a pizza joint, of course), and how some people forgot keys once. Doesn't seem notable. Flagged by a COI editor, but I have no COI.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time.

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:31, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

  • Special report: What actually happened during the Wikimedia security incident?
    A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?
