Please don't template me! Everybody makes mistakes, and this user finds user warning templates impersonal and disrespectful. If there's something you'd like to say, please take a moment to write a comment below in your own words.

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Question from Mananarya22 (10:43, 7 October 2023)

Hello Sir/Mam,

I created a draft "Draft:Anandmurti_Gurumaa" but it got deleted. Can you please let me know the exact reason why my draft got deleted and what changes I should make before republishing that draft? Please help me.

Thanks and Regards, Manan Arya --Mananarya22 (talk) 10:43, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Mananarya22 and welcome to Wikipedia! Your draft appears to have been tagged for deletion because when you read it, it sounds like an advertisement. A big part of Wikipedia’s mission is to provide neutral articles to the public. Promotional articles (or drafts) are part of what Wikipedia is not and can be deleted for this reason under the G11 speedy deletion criteria. If you need further assistance, please do let me know. I hope you enjoy your time on Wikipedia, and I encourage you to review our tutorial. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 13:34, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Illusion Flame,

Thank you so much for your response. I genuinely appreciate your concern and your commitment to maintaining the neutrality of Wikipedia articles. I want to clarify that my intention was not to promote the draft but to provide an informative and unbiased overview. I apologize if it came across differently. I fully respect Wikipedia's mission to offer neutral content to the public.

I kindly request your guidance on any specific changes that you believe would help bring the draft in line with Wikipedia's guidelines. Your expertise and suggestions will be immensely valuable, and I am committed to working collaboratively to ensure the draft meets the necessary standards.

Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your guidance. Mananarya22 (talk) 13:44, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings @Mananarya22 and thank you for the prompt response. I appreciate your willingness to improve the page. I’d suggest looking at another article about a spiritual teacher you know to see a model of how a page should look like. Then you can make wording changes to the draft so it reads less promotional. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 13:57, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Sorry I am not going to be very active for a long time because I am focusing on school. Really sorry. Shadow345110 (talk) 15:55, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. School is more important. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 16:36, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Shadow345110 (talk)

RfD closure

Hi, would you consider undoing your close and relisting this RfD instead? Apart from me and the creator, only one person replied, and the reason given for why this could be useful (by the creator) was in my view debunked in my last reply (not answered to). I believe this warrants further input from uninvolved editors, and as it hasn't been relisted yet, a first relist seems appropriate. Fram (talk) 16:32, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. I can see your points, though as it stands I stand by my keep closure. As it hasn’t been relisted before, I’m fine with allowing more time for comment as it can’t hurt.

Done - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 16:43, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Fram (talk) 16:46, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know if you intended to rollback both your closes though :-) Fram (talk) 16:47, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. I need to get some sleep. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 17:21, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	For making 10,000 edits. (Well, if everything goes to plan, your reply to this'll be it...) Clyde _{[trout needed]} 20:01, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Very smart, your plan worked perfectly. Thanks for the barnstar! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:21, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Page mover

Hello, Illusion Flame. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

Wikipedia:Requested moves
Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:29, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ACE2023

Hi Illusion Flame, if you're looking to help out at ACE2023, something that would be beneficial is sorting out Category:Wikipedia Arbitration Committee elections. Its subcategories are kind of a mess right now. It'd be great to make them more uniform and ensure that it's properly diffused. Best, — Frostly (talk) 22:53, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Frostly! I’ll admit that categories aren’t really my specialty, but I’ve altered the categories of a few pages that should help a little. I’m liking the new user page! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 02:20, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
