Orphaned non-free image File:Muerteenbsas.jpg

<span style="font-size:32px; line-height:1em">'''35px|left|⚠|link= ↗'''</span> Thanks for uploading ''':File:Muerteenbsas.jpg ↗'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use ↗. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media ↗).

Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:21, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Timber Mountain ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

A tag has been placed on :Timber Mountain ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because it is an orphaned ↗ disambiguation page which either
:::*disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic ↗); or
:::* disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
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 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 removed 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 ↗.

Disambiguation link notification for December 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Claudine Gay ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Axios ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:04, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

August 2024

30px|link= ↗ You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war ↗  according to the reverts you have made on :Imane Khelif ↗. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate ↗ with others, to avoid editing disruptively ↗, and to try to reach a consensus ↗, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;'''
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page ↗ to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard ↗ or seek dispute resolution ↗. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection ↗. If you engage in an edit war, you '''may be blocked ↗ from editing.'''  M.Bitton (talk) 12:40, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

:A single revert is not an edit war. Please calm down. Astaire (talk) 12:53, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Just a quick thanks

For your comments in the Shopping Parade ↗ Afd and adding a few reliable sources. The page is now up to six although needs writing beyond a stub but like you I'm confused how some people can claim to have carried out wp:Before ↗ Neonchameleon (talk) 23:44, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Neonchameleon}} You're welcome. Glad the article could be saved. Astaire (talk) 23:44, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

For Opinion

Hello, I found another book of Tulsi Acharya Mrityu Diary ↗ . Similar problem as we saw in previous articles and his 6 such articles were deleted aft AFd. As I found you analyzing very well such article, wanted to keep this in your attention. Surprisingly this article seems to be reviewed recently. Rahmatula786 (talk) 11:24, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hi @Rahmatula786, thanks for mentioning this. I've just nominated another of Acharya's books for deletion: Sex, Desire, and Taboo in South Asia: Religion, Culture of Ability and Patriarchy ↗. I will take a look at Mrityu Diary ↗ after that discussion finishes. Astaire (talk) 19:49, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

No

This other article by the pro-Iranian user also has no encyclopedic validity. Iran's third uranium enrichment site ↗ Lolitoo049 (talk) 04:16, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Lolitoo049}} thanks, I've nominated that page for deletion as well. Astaire (talk) 16:35, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Mahmoud Abu Watfa

Mahmoud Abu Watfa ↗ Hello, could you open a deletion request?: This article merely announces that ''he headed the Interior Ministry of the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip, overseeing the police and internal security.'' The rest is filler about his unremarkable death. 200.46.55.180 ↗ (talk) 00:44, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello {{u|Astaire}}, this was part of a series of blocks of everyone involved who had continued reverting after it became clear that it was an edit war at Feeding Our Future ↗, but you had made only two reverts and were discussing on the article's talk page instead of reverting when this happened. Your last revert was already a day ago when the block was placed; it made no sense and it lost its purpose at very least when the page was fully protected for 48 hours. Please disregard the message above and feel free to remove this all. Sorry. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 07:12, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @ToBeFree, no worries, sorry for the disruption. Astaire (talk) 13:00, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
