User talk:Lijil

Hello Likil! Thanks for being part of the Electronic Literature project. We are meeting this Thursday, June 19 at 3 pm. UTC for our Third Thursday at 3 UTC monthly editathon. This month, we will be planning for the editathon at the ELO 2025 conference to develop a list of electronic literature works that have enough notability to warrant an article. Please join in on http:SLASH SLASH tinyurl DOT com SLASH 3Thurs3UTC password 1234! Thank you!

Hello, Lijil. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that User:Writerkpofe/sandbox, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 06:08, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why it says I created the page - the edit summary says I moved it to draft space. Maybe I did that incorrectly. Anyway, it should be deleted. Lijil (talk) 09:46, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lijil:

I was embarrassed to send someone to Wikipedia for biographical information about me only to learn that, after the entry about me had been included in Wikipedia for 2+ years, it had been "declined." The deleted entry now appears at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Albert_Alschuler.

I think that its removal might have been mistaken. You wrote: "This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria."

The most obviously applicable of the eight criteria is: “The person has held a distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, a named chair appointment that indicates a comparable level of achievement, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.” The entry notes that at the University of Chicago Law School I was “was promoted to Wilson-Dickinson Professor in 1988 and to Julius Kreeger Professor in 2002.”

The Wikipedia entry on the University of Chicago Law School makes clear that it is “a major institution of higher education and research.” It reports that the University of Chicago Law School was ranked the best U.S. law school by Above the Law and third best by U.S. News & World Report. The school was ranked first in the U.S. for “best professors” by the Princeton Review. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Chicago_Law_School Toward the end of the entry there’s a list of current notable faculty. My name is the only one on that list of 35 or so that does not have a link to a Wikipedia biography.

Another of the eight conditions is: “The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.” The 1997 Guggenheim Fellowship listed in my entry probably qualifies. Guggenheim Fellowships are awarded to about 175 people each year. The group includes not only academics but also authors, composers, filmmakers, and artists. No more than one or two Guggenheim Fellowships are likely to go to legal scholars in any given year. Also: I received a Bellagio Center Resident Fellowship from the Rockefeller Foundation in 1991. My work on William Blackstone received the 1997 Sutherland Prize of American Society of Legal Historians for the year’s best work on English history. I also received the Green Bag Exemplary Writing Award in 2009 for the year’s best written law review article.

According to Brian Leiter’s Law School Rankings, I am the sixth most cited law professor in the U.S. in the field of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure. https://www.leiterrankings.com/faculty/2007faculty_impact_areas.shtml My work has been cited in 33 Wikipedia articles on a wide variety of subjects. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=20&offset=40&profile=default&search=Albert+W.+Alschuler&title=Special:Search&ns0=1 It’s been cited in U.S. Supreme Court opinions more than 20 times. LEXIS indicates that my work has been cited in more than 4000 law review articles. Although I retired from teaching 14 years ago, Hein Online recently (Nov. 2025) ranked me among the 100 most cited American legal scholars of the past five years. https://heinonline.org/HOL/scholarly-impact-ranking/aba-authors I couldn’t find anyone else on the Hein list who lacks a Wikipedia entry.

I hope the entry can be restored. AWA30 (talk) 21:52, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Lijil. This message concerns the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "sandbox".

Drafts that go unedited for six months are eligible for deletion, in accordance with our draftspace policy, and this one 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 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) 06:26, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.
You are receiving this message because you are a New Pages Patrol reviewer. To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself from here.

I undid your reversion of Update6's blanking of their user talk page; as the policy you cite states, "Declined unblock requests regarding a currently active block."; Update6 does not presently have an active block, making the policy void in that respect. — Dædαlus+ Contribs 03:51, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching that! I hadn't noticed the point about the block needing to be active - I'll remember that. Lijil (talk) 04:33, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching that source on the merge on Transgender disenfranchisement. I have no idea where it came from as it's not something I used or read. Spooky. Revolving Doormat (talk) 14:22, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, nevermind, I see where it was from. I must have copy/pasted the wrong one when moving things around to the first sentence. Disregard! Revolving Doormat (talk) 14:32, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply] Thanks for fixing it, and for doing the merge! I would have fixed the citation myself but it was so late and I was so sleepy... I would like to help with the whole article, but it's pretty intimidating and I've no idea where to start and will have a bit less time for Wikipediaing in the next weeks - but if you have specific suggestions, like a section I could work on, or spin off, let me know, I'd like to help. Lijil (talk) 15:17, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply] I think the two easiest, non-controversial places to start are ones that already have spin-offs could be significantly reduced to briefly summarize the topic and link out to the main articles I mentioned on the talk page, #Trump presidency (2025–present), so that is already spun off into Persecution of transgender people under the second Trump administration and the #Violence sections into Violence against transgender people in the United States. as these are both fairly substantial on their own and may well contain significant duplicate content. The later could include #Physical violence, #Sexual violence, and #Genocide sections be collapsed into #Violence with a summary that encompasses all three and any other topics covered in the target article. I agree it is intimidating. My computer is not the newest, but it certainly isn't so old that editing Wikipedia should cause my browser to freeze up entirely. I think that is the longest page I've ever seen on Wikipedia and I shutter at the thought of being proved it is not the longest that exists.

Hi, can you take care of this, following MOS? Talk:Giorgia Meloni#who she said, "with the boards of their own examples, built the ladder that today allows me to climb and break the heavy glass ceiling placed over our heads". Thanks.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cera Care, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bloomberg.

Hello, I'm Historyexpert2. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Please read WP:HOUND Historyexpert2 (talk) 18:50, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Historyexpert2. Thanks for your message. I wasn't trying to offend you, I was asking you to take care with your edits of gender/trans-related articles. Apparently writing at the same time as you wrote this, I just left another note on your user talk page asking you not to merge articles without a consensus to do so. I am concerned about your apparent targeting of articles about transgender people and gender related topics, which as you know is designated as a contentious topic, and where you delete sections referencing WP policies that are often incorrectly applied and merge whole articles which bypasses the discussions that are supposed to be had in PROD/AfD. (See diff), diff). I also noted your inappropriate politicizing of an AfD for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trans* where you referred to the article's sources being "mostly niche woke/sjw sources", which other people in the discussion also criticized as "pejorative" and "buffoonish" and suggested you should strike out. You chose not to. WP:HOUND clearly states that "Correct use of an editor's history includes (but is not limited to) fixing unambiguous errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, or correcting related problems on multiple articles." That is all I have been doing. Lijil (talk) 19:27, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply] Hello, here is a response regarding to your concerns: I have not continued to use this vocabulary during source evaluation and will not continue out of care to the editors who disliked it. Furthermore, I will take more steps like editing other topics or adding text instead of deleting, as to avoid fueling your impression that this is a targeting of this topic area. Historyexpert2 (talk) 19:39, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply] Thanks, @Historyexpert2 - that sounds great. All the best to you. Lijil (talk) 19:44, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Link rot. Thanks! --Hipal (talk) 18:41, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reminder! I actually can't remember which article this was on, I've been reviewing a lot, so if you'd like me to fix it can you please tell me which article? Lijil (talk) 12:59, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've discussing slightly at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics#Draft:Best_arm_identification about a draft that a few weeks ago you rejected. At the time, you tagged it as possibly LLM-generated, but your comments didn't expand on that point, and personally I don't really see it. Would you be willing to comment on that in the discussion at WT:WPM? Thanks, --JBL (talk) 18:08, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

NPP unreviewed article statistics as of February 02, 2026

Welcome to Phase 2 of the January–February 2026 NPP drive. During Phase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!
