Hi Mac, hope you're doing well. I saw that you recently deleted and restored the article for Your Name under U1 — it looks like it's since been deleted again. Do you mind restoring it again? Thanks, Hiàn (talk) 00:03, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there a process of asking for delay when it doesnt have any effect? I was, and am, quite happy to further simplify the the articles you have deleted. I would be grateful if you could restore them. Rathfelder (talk) 16:41, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to have caused inconvenience. Give me their titles and I will reinstate them. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:50, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much:

Encebollado

Lingonberry jam

Frikadelle

I dont disagree with any of the points you made. I would only say that simplification is a bit subjective. If you think any of mine need more attention I am very happy to have another try. Rathfelder (talk) 18:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello mr Macdonald-ross. Can you please add All of Heracles and Hercules divine domains in their pages in the other english wikipedia please??? 2A02:587:1F0B:4000:A163:60EB:6881:304B (talk) 17:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can Alessia Cara at least be semi-protected? Like I said here, there's nothing other than vandalism since 2022 on this page, that should surely be a valid reason for protection. Tehonk (talk) 00:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was created right when you deleted it: Talk:SonoftheMessiah. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 08:00, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why the fu ck did you protect the page marriage 199.119.28.210 (talk) 10:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey can you please unprotect the page so everyone can edit 199.119.28.210 (talk) 11:01, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Protection is done so that only regular editors can change the text. It is done when a page has been too often vandalised. Macdonald-ross (talk) 11:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please work through the administrator's noticeboard, there's a handful of pages needing protection SurferSquall (talk) 03:28, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Several other editors work on that page. They are quite capable of deleting or keeping after discussion. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:23, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Macdonald-ross, I hope you're well, I've noticed you've deleted Pyramids FC TV however imho there was a claim to notability here?, Would there be any chance you could undelete and send to AFD instead please as I'll sure this was/is a notable TV channel?, Many thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 11:52, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems not notable to me. Macdonald-ross (talk) 11:56, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well another admin didn't believe it wasn't notable...... So again could you please send it back to AFD and everyone can have another say on its notability, Thanks –Davey2010^Talk 12:10, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) The article was restored to its's full glory. I missed the tag on the tp that says it was just voted keep in an RfD that ended on March 28, so that was my bad, but it is all

Resolved.

@Macdonald-ross I see that your page is being archived automatically now. You should be good to go. Thanks and edit well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 04:46, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a customized list of articles getting made that a majority are going to either QD or RfD based on the circumstances. Hopefully you find it useful.

You've confused Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy with Leo Tolstoy. Leo is the more famous one who wrote War and Peace and was nominated for Nobel Prizes. Kk.urban (talk) 15:51, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I hope it's now corrected! Macdonald-ross (talk) 16:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is incorrect. The courts were abolished in 1972. The way this entire article is written is as if it is a current practice. It is also completely unsourced. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 08:01, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please may I know why Cubana Chief Priest article was deleted. He is a notable person and has article on Wikipedia. Please check here English Wikipedia Usimite (talk) 09:03, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did check. It is a new article there and not yet assessed. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:13, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. Please may I know why it was deleted here. i believe the subject is notable and passed WP:GNG. I'm new to Simple wikipedia and I'm willing to learn/contribute.

Usimite (talk) 09:21, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Usimite I already explained this to you on your talk page. I also see you have been putting this article on other Wikipedias and on wikidata. As our admin stated he does not pass notability and I provided you the links to it. Please go through them. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 09:23, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi :-) Can I ask you why you reverted this change of mine? Was the template I added the problem or something else? If it was just the template, can I add everything else again (except for that template, obviously)? I am not mad at all, just very confused, because it was such a non-controversial change XD

Sorry, it looks unnecessary also to me. Macdonald-ross (talk) 06:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aloha. Actually, if you compare this to my creation at en.wikipedia.org, it's rather different as I simplified it, and there was no other way to make the wording "simpler". Please revert this deletion, I think it's incorrect. Coop (talk) 10:54, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if you ever have a chance to look at this

Why did you put the title of the page in quotes? I even checked on desktop to make sure it wasnt for italics W;ChangingUsername (talk) 18:31, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because it is obviously a taxonomic title, and they belong in italics, whereas other titles do not. I can't help what other people do with other titles. (Not "quotes", italics)

Macdonald-ross (talk) 19:08, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article has the title: "Chlamydia pnumoniae" W;ChangingUsername (talk) 19:47, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki markup doesn't work in article titles. I moved it back and added ((italictitle)) instead. -- Auntof6 (talk) 11:35, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My question is, Why did you delete the Capture of Kabul's page when the outcome of the discussion wasn't decided Yet and it was notable? Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 20:06, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article took a turn for the worse (arguably), today.--Please see if the following diff can inspire you to change the first line, or revert. Or to point out any problem (about the first sentence, in the lede).--The discussion on the talk page, has already been started.

simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Artificial_intelligence&diff=9590409&oldid=9590311 . Thanks. 2001:2020:31B:B8E1:796F:99B2:7E23:DF89 (talk) 22:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)/ 2001:2020:31B:B8E1:796F:99B2:7E23:DF89 (talk) 22:56, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At least from what I can see, they only made 2 bad edits, and were only warned once. They're block log shows they were not blocked before. Also, I don't believe IP address are allowed to be indefed. What happened here? Something I can't see since I'm not an admin? Mistake? Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 11:07, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suggested unblock at WP:AN. MathXplore (talk) 11:52, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I really don't see how this revision is anywhere close to nonsense. It was vandalised, but that is grounds for reversion, not deletion as "nonsense". I've reversed this deletion, but please stop deleting articles seemingly because you feel like it – this is one of many deletions you have made now that have no justification based on policy. --Ferien (talk) 00:02, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can we do something with the opposition discussion in the Mars article? The word "opposition" as used in astronomy is technical and not likely to be known by our readers (perhaps not even the equivalent word in their native languages if it is not English). Kdammers (talk) 00:41, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment I'm not seeing this section: can you point it out? Macdonald-ross (talk) 05:35, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"It occurs when sulfuric acid loses two protons. If it is only loses one, a hydrogen sulfate ion is made".--Feel free to add this to any article, or to any Talk page.--(i will be busy fixing other articles). 89.8.134.252 (talk) 21:27, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is the problem with these sentences? Why were they removed? I added them back. 73.170.137.168 (talk) 21:29, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Too advanced for our target readership, I thought. On this wiki it's not enough to be correct, it also has to be appropriate for a school-level readership. Macdonald-ross (talk) 06:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

False, this page was very simple. Unfair reason, deleted in a very superficial way Wyellowgreen (talk) 15:21, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The delete page was similar ti this: bruceleefoundation.org. Wyellowgreen (talk) 15:28, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Wyellowgreen: I looked at the page and agree that the article was not in simple language. If you would like to ask for the page to be restored, you can use WP:Deletion review. -- Auntof6 (talk) 15:40, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Auntof6 is this page (bruceleefoundation.org) simple language for you? Wyellowgreen (talk) 16:06, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wyellowgreen: No, it's not. Also, it looks like the article you created here was copied from there, and that's not allowed -- it's a copyright violation. -- Auntof6 (talk) 16:35, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thank you (but it's simple) Wyellowgreen (talk) 16:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wyellowgreen: It is not written in the kind of simple language that is needed here. If you think it is, then I invite you to read Wikipedia:How to write Simple English pages for an explanation of the requirements. The page you linked to, and therefore the article that was a copy of it, contains what this wiki considers to be complex words and complex sentence structure. -- Auntof6 (talk) 23:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Carbon suboxide.

The lede now has 3 (simple) sentences. And one so-so set of figures.
