Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎

Hello, Fakescientist8000. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "The Campaign Trail".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

A tag has been placed on Peter Moskos (soldier) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

A tag has been placed on Peter Moskos (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because

• it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or

• it is a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" whose target is neither a disambiguation page nor page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. ObserveOwl (talk) 17:29, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in }. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

The article Kobe Paysour has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable college player. Fails WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thanks for your contributions to Win or Lose Corporation. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and in particular, the reliability of the first source at walkermedia.org is dubious (looks like a WordPress site, and the home page gives an Oops! That page can’t be found. error) and the second source is unverifiable. The article needs at least two and preferably three reliable independent sources with significant coverage of the subject. There's useful information about how to choose good sources and avoid bad sources here. 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 the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. SunloungerFrog (talk) 18:56, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I saw the warning tag you placed today on the ESA 1973 page and am grateful you encouraged comment on your decision on the ESA 1973 talk page, which I have done. Below I am pasting in what I wrote there:

Here is the edit that happened today by a new editor to this page: 18:53, 23 June 2025 Fakescientist8000 talk contribs m  328,567 bytes +29  Added } tag undothank Tag: Twinkle

What shows now at the top of the page for ALL TO SEE is this warning:

This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. Consider splitting content into sub-articles, condensing it, or adding subheadings. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page. (June 2025)

I request others to comment on that warning, as I vote for its removal. I have been working on this page for two years, and now account for 70% of the entire word count. I am a retired science writer (4 books in evolutionary ecology), and I was thereby able to vastly upscale the content and reliability of this page by using a lot of academic science papers and law review articles as references. I began this editing because of the 50th anniversary of the ESA of 1973 that happened in Dec 2023. After the 2024 presidential election, I stepped up again by providing an even more thorough account of the new section I added in 2023: "Challenges and Controversies." Yes, it is very long, but I used a lot of SUBSECTION HEADS (28) so that each block of text was relatively short and inviting to read. I also enhanced the visual readability by using blockquotes and especially by inputting one or more useful images for almost every subsection. As well, the standard wikipedia TOC enables prospective readers to easily see the complete list of all headings, and thereby decide which part they need to read. And I do mean "need" to read. More than ever before, this globally known conservation law is being reconsidered, based on the challenges and controversies that have arisen over 5 decades of implementation. Especially because of the quality and thoroughness of the references, I believe this wikipedia page is the best place for anyone reconsidering the Act to begin their own inquiry. And I am proud of my work in ensuring that controversial topics are made known and revealed in the fullness of their view range — which in itself helps the reader understand that addressing the longstanding problems and divisive issues requires more than mere surface understandings.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2025).

Guideline and policy news

• Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, G15, has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a large language model (LLM) without human review.
• Following a request for comment, there is a new policy outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.

Technical news

• Administrators can now restrict the "Add a Link" feature to newcomers. The "Add a Link" Structured Task helps new account holders get started with editing. Administrators can configure this setting in the Community Configuration page.

Arbitration

• The arbitration case Indian military history has been closed.
  • South Asia (WP:CT/SA) is designated a contentious topic. The topic area is specifically defined as All pages related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups.
  • The contentious topic designations for Sri Lanka (SL) and India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan (IPA) are folded into this new contentious topic.
  • The community-authorized general sanctions regarding South Asian social groups (GS/CASTE) are rescinded and folded into this new contentious topic.
• The arbitration case Article titles and capitalisation 2 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 31 July.
• The arbitration case Transgender healthcare and people has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 11 August.

Miscellaneous

• Wikimania 2025 is happening in Nairobi, Kenya, and online from August 6 to August 9. This year marks 20 years of Wikimania. Interested users can join the online event. Registration for the virtual event is free and will remain open throughout Wikimania. You can register here now.

Hi, Fakescientist8000, please stop uploading non-free images of living people. Per WP:NFC#UUI, images of living people will virtually never be considered irreplaceable by a free alternative, since a free picture could be taken while they are still alive. Thanks, Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 01:37, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Writ Keeper, thank you for letting me know and I will do. It is quite frustrating (and yet equally understandable) why that is in place, knowing it's incredible unlikely to have free images of those folks online. Alas, what are we to do?

Hello, Fakescientist8000

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Veko, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Samantha Fuller, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

1. Edit the page
2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Veko}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Arbitration

• After a motion, arbitration enforcement page protections no longer need to be logged in the AELOG. A bot now automatically posts protections at WP:AELOG/P. To facilitate this bot, protection summaries must include a link to the relevant CT page (e.g. [[WP:CT/BLP]]), and you will receive talk page reminders if you forget to specify the contentious topic but otherwise indicate it is an AE action.

If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission, and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you read this, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the draft so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 17:26, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Can I ask that you refrain from repeating this in the future[1]. It's already confused people. Rambling Rambler (talk) 20:22, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rambling Rambler I would love to; however, may I inform you that the surname allotted to the British royal family has the hyphen in it, for future reference. Cheers, atque supra! Fakescientist8000 20:56, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply] That may be how it's officially written in other instances, but as of right now in both primary and secondary sources it's been specifically written without the hyphen. Rambling Rambler (talk) 20:57, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply] Alas, WP:COMMONNAME shows us that the hyphenated version is used in almost all contexts, when needed, by reliable sources. One announcement from the King does not change that. Happy Halloween, should you celebrate. Cheers, atque supra! Fakescientist8000 17:02, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fakescientist8000, Wikipedia:Contentious topics § Awareness of contentious topics requires the exact template above to be posted on your user talk page as your first contentious topic alert. Please also be aware of the following contentious topics, which you have recently participated in:

Thank you. — Newslinger talk 11:01, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply] Hi @Newslinger. Thank you for the message on my talk page. I understand that you are an admin, and thus messages like these are likely a dime a dozen for you. However, I must point out that: 1) I am extended confirmed, and have been for quite some time 2) I have over 15,000 edits and continue to increase that count by the day, and 3) I have been editing for over 5 years at this point Therefore, it is my conclusion that I have a decent and fairly deep understanding of contentious Wikipedia topics and the struggles with consistency on them. Cheers, atque supra! Fakescientist8000 11:18, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply] It's good that you are familiar with these procedures. If you would like to opt out of future alerts about other contentious topics (which may take the form of a template or a custom message), please feel free to apply the } template to this page specifying the topics that your opt-out would apply to. (Unfortunately, this template is not yet compatible with community-authorized sanctions at this time.) — Newslinger talk 11:24, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply] @Newslinger Thank you for this. I will be doing that shortly. Cheers, atque supra! Fakescientist8000 11:28, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2026 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 a bot will set up your submissions page within one day, 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 2026 WikiCup, the highest-ranking contestants will receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. This is the same scoring system that we had last year. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants are no longer 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).

Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that I have temporarily reversed your edit to the aforementioned page (which in turn was a reversal of my edit). You added back Troy Jackson's 'endorsement' of Platner, with the same source as before. I removed it because I cannot find material in the given source that is an explicit endorsement which adheres to WP:ENDORSE. The onus is on you to justify adding it, not on me to justify removing it. WP:ENDORSE states that an explicit endorsement statement from Jackson is required for it to count, not the fact that they campaigned together for a certain cause. I hope this clears things up.
