DYK nom for Philoxenos Yuhanon Dolabani

[edit source ]
Latest comment: 13 days ago 2 comments2 people in discussion

I figured it was better to leave you a message directly on your talk page about my DYK nom here and the concerns you voiced on the sourcing. I saw that you had mentioned these concerned on the reviewer's page as well , so a talk page message made more sense to me to discuss things in greater detail.

  • Huyada is the official publication of the Assyrian National Federation (Assyriska Riksförbundet) of Sweden . They have been running for nearly 50 years, and have been an online-exclusive publication since 2009. When we're talking about the pieces on Dolabani specifically, we can see that they were authored by a journalist, Augin Kurt Haninke, whose work with Huyada and in the Swedish-Assyrian diaspora has been mentioned in academic discourse over the years, including with his own book being cited in journal publications . For the sake of this article, these sources can be considered reliable.
  • Assyria Post is a more recently established publication, so there's still room for doubt regarding its reliability. However, you mentioned an RSN discussion about the Post which was held in November . I attempted to bring back discussion surrounding the source in March , but it never received any replies.
    • To make a long story short, the website has developed a greater level of transparency since its launch. Some aspects of the site are kept anonymous due to the nature of political journalism in the Assyrian community, and are attributed to just the site itself. Furthermore, the original discussion was brought to RSN by the confirmed/suspected meatpuppet of a topic-banned user . This is an entire rabbit-hole of its own to unpack, but I suspected that the website was brought to RSN only because its use of "Assyrian," (see WP:GS/ACAS for more info), and not because of actual reliability issues.
    • As far as Dolabani's article goes, AssyriaPost is writing specifically about Camp Dolabani, an older youth camp which is hosted by the German organization Assyrischer Jugendverband Mitteleuropa e.V. (AJM) , a fact which is mentioned in another Assyrian publication and by the group themselves . Given this circumstance, a basic statement of fact can be attributed to the Post for the sake of this article.

I hope that all of this addresses your concerns. Please let me know if any other information is needed. PresentlySuraye3 (talk) 19:40, 18 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Thanks for the context, PresentlySuraye3, and apologies for my delay! Your explanation about Huyada sounds good; I'm willing to accept the source's reliability as written by a subject-matter expert. I'm still a little on the fence about the Post — leaving aside the concerns about ban evasion, I think there are substantial arguments to be made against reliability. Without some indication that the publication has a "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy", such as having an editorial board of professionals, I wouldn't assume the source is acceptable. Also, the article cited appears to have been written by a student. I'll respond at the DYK nomination page. TechnoSquirrel69 (talk) 00:48, 21 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Articles for Creation backlog drive

[edit source ]
Latest comment: 15 days ago 1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello TechnoSquirrel69:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:38, 19 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Excited to here about your upcoming Wiknic! If you can, please add a link at Wikipedia:Wiknic#2026, and I'll help with setting up a CentralNotice to your preferences to bring in lots of editors. Pharos (talk) 05:34, 23 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Thank you for your help with this, Pharos! I'll make sure to link the event there once we've got the details finalized — Stephen and I are still in the ideation phase and haven't made any solid plans yet. The CentralNotice is also a good suggestion, and I'll take a look at getting that up as well. TechnoSquirrel69 (talk) 15:24, 23 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Draft:Great Squirrel Migration of 1968

[edit source ]
Latest comment: 9 days ago 3 comments2 people in discussion

Hello, TechnoSquirrel69,

One thing you must know if you restore deleted articles is that you can't just undelete them. For AFD or PRODs, you need to remove all of the deletion tags. For CSD-related deletions, you need to take off the CSD tags. And for draft or user pages that were deleted due to CSD G13, you MUST make a minor edit to the page. You apparently restored this draft but it will show up to admins as eligible for speedy deletion because there still hasn't been an edit made to the page in 6 months. This is very important if you help out at WP:REFUND, make a minor edit to restored CSD G13s or they are likely to just be deleted again. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 05:12, 24 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

I guess squirrels stick together, no? Liz Read! Talk! 05:12, 24 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
Hi Liz! Squirrels must stick together indeed, especially when migrating cross-country. I was aware that the G13 timer needed resetting, so I added some sources a few minutes after undeleting. I also didn't see any CSD tags from before the deletion. Let me know if there's anything else that needs to be done here! TechnoSquirrel69 (talk) 15:41, 24 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Sorry

I missed your question at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer til after it had been archived. My original question was loaded with the hint that the request was defective, inviting the user to pay attention to the detail, and giving the user an opportunity to fix their request. Passing up the opportunity to fix it with a "Nothing wrong here" message was (in my opinion) an own goal.

I have no objection to the user making a fresh request. Nor any objection to a grant of another trial period (the 6 month gap since the last trial period puts us back to treating it as a new request rather than a renewal, imo). The inconvenience of having to make a fresh request is a sufficient message to the user. Cabayi (talk) 09:07, 24 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Thanks for explaining, Cabayi; I just wanted to know if you had any reason to decline beyond the formatting error. It seems that they've made a new section, and I agree that it can be evaluated independently of their previous grants, given the timeframe. TechnoSquirrel69 (talk) 15:44, 24 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Autopatrolled

[edit source ]
Latest comment: 3 days ago 3 comments2 people in discussion

Hello, TechnoSquirrel69,

I hope you are doing well.

I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have been actively contributing to English Wikipedia by creating and expanding articles, primarily on notable government officials. To date, I have created around 10 articles, and I plan to continue creating well-sourced, policy-compliant content to help expand the encyclopedia.

I always strive to ensure that my articles are supported by reliable sources and comply with Wikipedia's core content policies, including verifiability, neutrality, and notability. Since my future contributions will largely consist of new article creation, having the autopatrolled right would help reduce the workload for the New Page Patrol by automatically marking my own new pages as patrolled.

If you notice any areas where I can improve my article creation or editing practices, I would sincerely appreciate your feedback and suggestions. I am always willing to learn and improve my contributions.

Thank you very much for your time, consideration, and for reviewing my request. Cptabhiimanyuseven[@píng mє] 14:50, 30 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi Cptabhiimanyuseven, it unfortunately looks to me that you've created this message using an LLM, which is enough for me to decline your request. Your recent creation Har Har Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva was taken to AfD for inappropriate LLM use as well. This doesn't meet the standard of work we expect from any editor, and is far below the standards for autopatrolled. Please stop using LLMs on Wikipedia; you are likely to face sanctions if you continue the way you're going. Let me know (in your own words) if you have any questions.

Thank for your response, apology for my this mistake and I promise to you I never use ai for create article like "Har Har Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva" and I never use ai for generate message in future.Cptabhiimanyuseven[@píng mє] 02:25, 31 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
