Greetings Recent Changes Patrollers!
This is a one-time-only message to inform you about technical proposals related to Recent Changes Patrol in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
Note: You received this message because you have transcluded ((User wikipedia/RC Patrol)) (user box) on your user page. Since this message is "one-time-only" there is no opt out for future mailings.
Best regards, Stevietheman — Delivered: 01:09, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Greetings! Thank you for your question and I will get around it soon. I have clinic duties and I will have to leave now; my apologies for the delay and I will answer it or any other questions that are there ASAP. Best, Yash! 04:28, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

I think what you meant to say in the AfD on route 152 is Strong keep. "Speedy keep" is actually a technical term used when the nominator withdraws and nobody else wanted to delete the article (or when the nomination is in bad faith), A related term "Snow Keep" (from "a snowball's chance in Hell") means to close the debate because everyone obviously agrees. "Strong keep" is used to indicate deep conviction against opposition. I find it helpful at WP discussions to use our customary terminology , no matter how peculiar. I heartily agree with your view that there should be a consistent policy for keeping these, but alas the trend here at WP seems unfortunately to be otherwise. Maybe you'll be enough added weight to change it. DGG ( talk ) 21:14, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Please may you restore my London buses route 407 as it took a long time to make it. I saw similar articles that cover the same topics that I talked about. I brought this discussion up on the IRC webchat for Wikipedia. Look at these following articles:
If my article about the bus route 407 was deleted, these following articles listed above should also be deleted. If these articles above qualify to exist on Wikipedia, my article should also exist. These articles cover the same topics that I covered in my article. Thanks, Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:40, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

In the recent discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive941#User:Fram you supported mass-deletion of all BLP articles created by SvG. The closing decision was that this should be done. I have started a page at User:Aymatth2/SvG clean-up for discussion / coordination of the deletion job. Your comments or suggestions would be welcome. Also, we urgently need volunteers with the technical skills to create a useable list of articles to be deleted. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Every RfA or large discussion allows me to nitpick about user's signatures, since I have a syntax highlighting gadget. It must be the web developer in me :) If you could kindly change your signature to the following:
[[User:Class455|<span style="color: red;">'''Class'''</span><span style="color: darkgreen;">'''455'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Class455|<span style="color:orange">'''talk'''</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Class455|'''stand clear of the doors!''']])

Hi Class 455 and first of all: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! You were so kind to contact me last year, when I was wrong with my note to Samtar...and that's why I now contact you. Samtar does not answer me any more - not at all and I have no idea why...I guess I explained politely and clear that I would appreciate his help - but not a single reaction.... In the meantime I completed my article in all aspects, everything is ready - I did the whol work in my sandbox, as I do it in German Wikipedia. But: I would be very greatful if you could just check it one time to see, if still something could be missing or wrong. It's my first edit in the English Wiki and of course I don't want to make toooooo many stupid mistakes. And - if it's ok, (what I hope and guess) could you move it and authorize it?? I have the status auf automatical corrector/autoconfirmed user in the German Wiki, but not in the English - so it would be great if you could help me here to carry on. And: where can I show the formatted version to you? I mean without saving it - just showing...? That's the point, I do not completely understand. How to work out such an article before publishing...not publically but in the sandbox? I cancel it after working it out - but how and where can I show it to you? It's long, detailed and with beautiful photographes - if you like, please have a look at the German version. It's about the German Painter Bruno Kurz. I know, painting is not your main topic - but perhaps you like it or could help me with this first english Version... Thank you VERY VERY MUCH in advance and sweet 17.... Pas de chat (talk) 16:26, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi Class 455 and Samtar! Thank you very much for your answer. Please don't worry - I did it ALL - all references, Sources, Links, Pictures, authorisation for the pictures - it's ready! But: I just would like to show it to you before putting it in the wikiworld... Where can I do this, just to show, not so save... Please - which kind of page (not this one, it's for talk only)? And the sandbox neither ...I am only elaborationg there, without saving...so WHERE can I show it to you? Thanks a lot in advance Pas de chat (talk) 15:21, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi Class 455, Samtar helped me to edit it - he worte it's fine and now please have a look ( Bruno Kurz) - I cannot understand the complaints of missing proves...and it is 98% the same content/text/length like the German version, so from there I cannot include more..who suggests such a thing, without reading or compairing the articles..? I started to add some gallery Links (Sam cancelled them, don't know why) - There is everything mentioned, the awards, his education, his live shortly, of course all his exhibitions - it's so much, what is missing? ...I dont understand, and I am thankful for any hint , how to carry on? Thank you!! Pas de chat (talk) 12:25, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi Class 455, thank you VERY VERY much for your work and corrections!!! ( I learn the other rules in the English Wikiworld by your help. It's really very different...) But: I still see these tags, are they coming back automatically? Or is a person in the backyard making digital terror? I never experienced this before in the German Wiki and it'a sad...for the idea of Wiki and especially for poeple form other countries, trying to contribute to a world wide knowledge... Best best...Pas de chat (talk) 13:53, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

You applied the speedy tag to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Project Management Association (2nd nomination) without surrounding it with <noinclude></noinclude>
. This meant that the log page and a number of other pages that transclude the specific AfD page would all get sent falsely to CAT:CSD. You have closed the discussion. I see no reason why the page needs deleted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:44, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
