Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mornflake concerns an oversight action you took in October 2025 that prevents auto-archival of an AfD on Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/United Kingdom. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 03:16, 11 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

• You have already emailed oversight about this, so I am aware. PhilKnight (talk) 03:22, 11 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

  I can only presume you are discussing this in some private forum, such as one of the IRCs. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 03:25, 11 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi, is there a chance Draft:Chris Chan (Internet personality) could be undeleted or moved to Draft:Chris Chan? I spent a lot of time working on that draft, and there's definitely enough sources covering Chris (not just the incest charges) for her to get an article now. If she does get an article then it should probably be named "Chris Chan (Internet personality)" or something similar since an article named Chris Chan already exists.

No, sorry, see Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Perennial_requests#Chris_Chan. PhilKnight (talk) 02:14, 12 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

I don't really understand this, we're not allowed to make a page for Chris because she's a victim of harassment? NP (talk) 14:58, 12 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

REVDEL needed. Enćenćecasïdća (talk) 18:51, 13 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

A user accidentally re-reported them. REVDEL needed, again. I also posted, on the Talk Page of the User who re-reported, about this. Enćenćecasïdća (talk) 19:31, 13 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

I've rev deleted AIV. Thanks. PhilKnight (talk) 19:36, 13 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

REVDEL needed, again, but for another report. Just wondering, why isn't this happening the moment the User is blocked? Enćenćecasïdća (talk) 20:29, 13 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

Done. The revision delete of AIV history is low priority clean up, so is done later. PhilKnight (talk) 23:54, 13 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

Oh, OK. I'll keep that in mind. And thanks for doing the REVDEL, by the way. Enćenćecasïdća (talk) 00:25, 14 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hello PhilKnight. Could you put Talk:Koplik War under semi-protection? As I mentioned in my last report and in the last batch you blocked, they come back with a fresh TA on a daily basis, causing disruption for editors seeking legitimate conversation there. --Griboski (talk) 15:43, 22 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

Also redact the deletion log and page creation log the attack name's userpage and user talk page and also delete user talk page and Revdelete my false positive report user talk page until the redaction by B.J. also request steward to globally Supress the username. Also redact the page title user talk page deletion you made. Bad log entry ~2026-33676-45 (talk) 05:17, 24 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

I don't think stews will suppress the account, however I've requested a global lock given that the username is abusive. – LuniZunie _(talk) 05:48, 24 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

i created the task T430015 to better redact private information and attack names ~2026-33676-45 (talk) 05:35, 24 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

oops, I realised these matters should not be discussed publically so please remove the section and oversight it so it does not create public supression log. I will now use email oversight team or Do IRC channel ~2026-33676-45 (talk) 06:05, 24 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

Is this https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0362028X22128449?via%3Dihub#bb0045 not a reliable source to support the statements that "It remains uncertain whether nutritional differences as outlined translate into clinically significant health benefits. That said, meta-analysis has shown that pasteurization may slightly reduce concentration levels and/or bioavailability of several heat-sensitive nutrients found in raw milk. These include vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B6 (pyridoxal), vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin B12 (cobalamin), vitamin C, and vitamin E, although raw milk only contains B2 and B12 in substantial amounts."?

@Lwightmanresearch: I think its because you forget to add a summary for your edits. I have undone the revert, but be sure to add a summary in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Least Action (talk • contribs)

Hello, could you revert some incorrect edits made by C.Fred—specifically on three articles I had just reverted and corrected myself, but which were then vandalistically restored by the temporary account used by the block-evader Dealer07—and also apply protection to those pages so that he cannot edit them again, thanks.

These are the edits reverted so far, for example: , , ~2026-37299-67 (talk) 05:00, 29 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi @PhilKnight, I have a question: why is user Infinty 0 supporting sock accounts (like RPETS and IP ~2026‐36201‐88, which are linked to master account Howelllin) in several articles by undoing other editors’ reverts? Could you guide me on this? See 1, 2, and 3. Thank you in advance. AriuCH (talk) 21:38, 4 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi AriuCH, I suggest you file a sock puppet investigation report under Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Howelllin. Infinity 0 is an account that is several years old and has thousands of edits, so they probably would have been picked up by now, but I could be wrong.

Thank you PhilKnight for the guidance. I’ll keep your point in mind. AriuCH (talk) 11:34, 5 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
