Notice about the page “Kane Pixels”

There is already a draft page for Kane Pixels ↗ at draft:Kane Pixels ↗ has been a work in progress for a while now. When the mainspace page was still a redirect, it had a notice to not directly create an article from it ↗ unless moving draft:Kane Pixels ↗ to mainspace. I see you have added stuff that I didn’t to your article, so maybe we can merge Kane Pixels ↗ to the corresponding draft. (Discuss '''''0nshore's''''' contributions!!! ↗) 16:30, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Backrooms (web series) title.

Hello, I am the creator of the article. The reason why I titled the article “Backrooms” is based on the opening credits for the first video(Which is also in the article’s info box). Yes I realize that the first video is titled “The Backrooms(Found footage” and the playlist is titled “The Backrooms”. However I am going based on the opening title card of the first video and the fact that the other videos in the series only have “Backrooms” in their titles. Example: “Backrooms-The Third Test”, “Backrooms-Informational Video”, “Backrooms-Pitfalls”, “Backrooms-Damage Control” etc… I will admit that Kane makes the naming of his series difficult when he doesn’t stick with one title. To be fair, he probably wasn’t expecting an article to be made about his series. However based on the examples I mentioned earlier, I must insist that the article’s title remains as it is.

I wanted to reach out after I continue to see you delete vital information about current topics going on. You continue to say that there’s not enough adequate information even though there’s many notable articles about the situation at hand. It is our job to serve the people with facts. Please allow the topic of Tana and Cody to be on the wikipedia page. WestonH233 (talk) 03:57, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

:@WestonH233: Please be aware that I support Tana and I believe the findings of D'Angelo Wallace, of whom I am a fan. I'm not in any way trying to censor this information, and I believe that it should be included on the page.
:If you want to know why I am deleting these additions, please see my reply on Talk:Cody Ko ↗ to another editor.
:" I am reverting the additions because this talk page discussion has not yet ended. Talk page discussions must run their course for a consensus to emerge on 1) if it should be included and 2) what to write in the page. This is how decisions on Wikipedia work."
:The talk page discussion has not yet ended. A paragraph is still being drafted. There are still some people in cautious opposition. Therefore, there's still no consensus ↗, i.e. no decision has yet been come to. We can only add it in after the participants have come to a consensus.

DCWC closing update

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest ↗ has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, 30px|Bronze Belt Buckle – 3rd place ↗ {{DCWC participant|Thebiguglyalien}} comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; 30px|Silver Belt Buckle – 2nd place ↗ {{DCWC participant|BeanieFan11}} flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, 30px|Gold Belt Buckle – 1st place ↗ {{DCWC participant|Generalissima}} finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle ↗. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three, {{DCWC participant|BeanieFan11}} also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! {{DCWC participant|Magentic Manifestations}}, after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, {{DCWC participant|Simongraham}} wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia ↗. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve.

June 2025

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, and thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Your bold move of :Uea ↗ has been reverted because an editor has found it to be controversial. Per Wikipedia:Requested moves ↗, a move request must be placed on the article's talk page, and the request be open for discussion for seven days, "if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested ↗". If you believe that this move is appropriate, please initiate such a discussion to form the appropriate consensus. Again, please note that moving a page with a longstanding title and/or a large number of incoming links is more likely to be considered controversial, and may be contested. Note that such consensus is particularly required before moving a title with incoming links in order to create a disambiguation page at that title. jlwoodwa (talk) 05:46, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

DCWC closing update

Two weeks ago, the 2025 Developing Countries WikiContest ↗ came to a close! After three months of stiff competition at the top of the leaderboard, we have our winners. 30px|Bronze Belt Buckle – 3rd place ↗ {{DCWC participant/2025|Vigilantcosmicpenguin}}, continuing his work on covering abortion in Africa ↗, comes in third with 692 points. 30px|Silver Belt Buckle – 2nd place ↗ {{DCWC participant/2025|Simongraham}} comes in second with 763 points, largely from a slew of good articles about jumping spider ↗s. And returning to the podium for the second year in a row, 30px|Gold Belt Buckle – 1st place ↗ {{DCWC participant/2025|BeanieFan11}} takes the Gold Belt Buckle with a mind-boggling 946 points from his series of articles on sportpersons. Congratulations to our winners!

Amazingly, the award for the most countries covered goes to both {{DCWC participant/2025|BeanieFan11}} and {{DCWC participant/2025|Simongraham}}, who each submitted articles under 30 flags! {{DCWC participant/2025|BeanieFan11}} also wins for writing the most quality articles (16 good articles). For submitting 16 articles related to El Salvador, {{DCWC participant/2025|PizzaKing13}} wins the award for most submissions under one country. The award for most submissions related to women goes to both {{DCWC participant/2025|Spookyaki}} (7 biographies about women) and {{DCWC participant/2025|Vigilantcosmicpenguin}} (21 related articles). And for the second year, {{DCWC participant/2025|Simongraham}} wins for the most reviews, having submitted 21!

Among the participants' contributions were 2 FAs, 5 FLs, 124 GAs, and an uncounted number of DYKs, ITNs, and reviews of every kind! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia ↗. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year, and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, Vortex3427. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Adrian Portelli ↗, 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) 08:07, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Max Surban discography ↗ moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Max Surban discography ↗, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable ↗, independent sources ↗. (? ↗) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability ↗ is of central importance ↗ on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace ↗ (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline ↗ and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Draft:Max Surban discography ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗
{{Quote box|quote=If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article ↗.You may want to consider using the Article Wizard ↗ to help you create articles.|width=20%|align=right}}
A tag has been placed on :Draft:Max Surban discography ↗ 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 with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" which lists only one extant Wikipedia page (i.e., there is a primary topic ↗);

a disambiguation page that lists zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or

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.   Arjun01 (talk) 09:07, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Analog horror ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

Hello, Vortex3427. This message concerns the Articles for Creation ↗ submission or draft ↗ page you started, "Analog horror ↗".

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|Draft:Analog horror|edit the submission}}, and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|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) 19:26, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Henry Benjamin Nālimu ↗

Hello, Vortex3427,

I've postponed the CSD G13 speedy deletion of this draft because it looked promising to me. I just wanted to remind you that it still exists in Draft space. Good luck. '''''L'''''iz '''''Read!''''' ↗ '''''Talk!''''' 21:55, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

:@Liz: Thank you for postponing it twice, but I just couldn't find the time over the past few months to work on it and I have moved on to other topic areas. I will, however, make sure to gradually work on it now so that it does not fall under speedy deletion again. Hopefully it will make it to mainspace one day.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. I have noticed that you {{usertalk other|often ↗|often}} edit without using an edit summary ↗. Please do your best to {{strong|always fill in the summary field ↗}}. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work.
