== Question from [[User:Kang Ticino X Fabi|Kang Ticino X Fabi]] on [[User:Kang Ticino X Fabi]] (21:13, 23 June 2024) ==
Hi --[[User:Kang Ticino X Fabi|Kang Ticino X Fabi]] ([[User talk:Kang Ticino X Fabi|talk]]) 21:13, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
== Floquengrump ==
I don't actively object, but I still ... I guess ''"passively"'' object to people altering the way I chose to add myself. As far as I know, there is no policy, guideline, essay, or even good reason not to add the vote count. I certainly didn't boldly add it for others, without their OK, even though I think it's useful. Yet you and someone else (who I won't look up to avoid getting annoyed again) felt fine just overruling my choice. It's not like I accidentally did it and you're fixing it (for example, I love it when people fix my near-constant '''screwups'''). I know it wasn't the intent, but it sure felt disrespectful. I'm honestly not sure if it's a problem with your approach or mine. Probably mine; I'm increasingly annoyed at more and more stuff I see here. Anyway, the "Floq" part i don't actually care about, so feel free to change to "Floquenbeam" if you prefer. [[User:Floquenbeam|Floquenbeam]] ([[User talk:Floquenbeam|talk]]) 12:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
:([[Special:Diff/1230686844|Diff for reference]]) Thanks for the note, Floq; that's helpfully clarifying. Until pretty recently, the debriefs page had a mix of links to debriefs and transclusions of debriefs, which I found suboptimal as it gave unfair prominence to some over others and just made it harder to navigate the page. So myself and a few others [[Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/Debriefs#Linking_vs._transcluding|discussed]] and arrived at the format now used. I'd say the reason for using only the percentage support rather than that and also the !vote counts is (a) that it's more concise (while still communicating the degree to which an RfA was contentious) and (b) that another editor didn't want it to replicate the format of [[WP:RFAY]] too closely. It's not the biggest decision (which is to say that we could easily have gone with something different), but once we have a format, the reason to use it consistently is just to make the page more easily scannable (combined with a tidying impulse, which, uh, is a rather common trait among Wikimedians {{smiley}}). I think the other editor and I assumed you'd just miscopied the format rather than deliberately deviating from it.
:Overall, the formatting stuff is minor compared to just ensuring that debriefs are listed — I enjoyed reading yours and am glad that others visiting the debriefs page will be able to discover it!

== Blacklisted links ==
Hi Sdkb, hope you're well. I've just cleaned up [[Musopen]], which really took off after funding from a [[Kickstarter]] campaign. I'm trying to link to two Kickstart links from 10+ years ago, which include important information on the nature of the projects. Alas, it seems the links are on Wikipedia's blacklist. Is there anyway around this?

:Hi Aza! I think [[MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist]] may be what you're looking for? Beyond that, I'm not sure; good luck with your efforts! <span style="border:3px outset;border-radius:8pt 0;padding:1px 5px;background:linear-gradient(6rad,#86c,#2b9)">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF;text-decoration:inherit;font:1em Lucida Sans">Sdkb</span>]]</span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 04:25, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

== Backstory to [[Special:Diff/1231608002]] ==
I don't have a strong opinion about the edit either way, but to provide the backstory to [[Special:Diff/1231608002|my edit that you reverted]]: I added the additional text because that page is transcluded in another page ([[WP:REFBEGIN]]) where another editor redundantly added a link to [[WP:RSP]] in the "See also" section ([[Special:Diff/1231503261|which I reverted]]) despite the link being in the transcluded text, which led me to wonder if the transcluded text needed to be clearer. Apparently not! [[User:Biogeographist|Biogeographist]] ([[User talk:Biogeographist|talk]]) 13:03, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
== [[Draft:Thomas A. Moore|Thomas A. Moore]] moved to draftspace ==
Thanks for your contributions to [[Draft:Thomas A. Moore|Thomas A. Moore]]. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability''' and '''there is another person with the same name at ASUA who has a high h-factor (if there are no overlapping papers) so there is nothing to demonstrate his publication notability. His page shows no significant, peer recognition awards. Please establish these and go the AfC route rather than creating it directly.'''.
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 your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. [[User:Ldm1954|Ldm1954]] ([[User talk:Ldm1954|talk]]) 12:14, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
:@[[User:Ldm1954|Ldm1954]], as mentioned in the edit summary when I created the page, the relevant notability criterion is [[WP:NPROF]] #5, as he holds an endowed chair. I am reverting the move, and suggest you familiarize yourself with or check the applicable [[WP:SNG|SNG]]s before draftifying in the future, as not all editors will know to revert and draftifying can [[WP:bite|bite]] them or deprive us of notable content. <span style="border:3px outset;border-radius:8pt 0;padding:1px 5px;background:linear-gradient(6rad,#86c,#2b9)">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF;text-decoration:inherit;font:1em Lucida Sans">Sdkb</span>]]</span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 13:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
::Please read the [[WT:Notability (academics)#Proposed deletion of C5|recent discussions]] on academic notability #5, just having an endowed chair does ''not'' qualify. As many have said, someone who is notable has many other achievements such as peer recognition APS fellowships, FRS, major awards, high h-factor etc. His page has nothing, and as I said above there is no other proof. I will hold off temporarily from an AfD to let you add the material requested. [[User:Ldm1954|Ldm1954]] ([[User talk:Ldm1954|talk]]) 13:41, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
:::Thanks; I am on vacation until July 5, but I'll do a deeper dive for sources once I return. <span style="border:3px outset;border-radius:8pt 0;padding:1px 5px;background:linear-gradient(6rad,#86c,#2b9)">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF;text-decoration:inherit;font:1em Lucida Sans">Sdkb</span>]]</span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 20:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
