:Hi @[[User:Nir007H|Nir007H]], thanks for your note. I don't think there's sufficient disruption in [[Progression of the deadlift world record]] for semi-protection to be applied. [[WP:PP|Page protections]] require weighing the costs of restricted editing access with the benefits of reducing abuse, and I'm not sure the level of disruption here is worth semi-protection. Roughly, I tend to consider multiple disruptions per week from multiple accounts/IP addresses, among other factors, as grounds for semi-protection. You can always bring this to [[WP:RFPP]] if you would like someone else to weigh in though.

PLease, be so nice and provide me the last known article (before the deletion) of https://ro.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Szabo if its possible. It's my sons wiki page and there are some important infortmation. Thank you very much Lorant.szabo (talk) 22:59, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Lorant.szabo, unfortunately I cannot retrieve the contents of the deleted page, since I am not an administrator on the Romanian language Wikipedia, only the English language one (en.wikipedia.org). You will have to ask an administrator on that project for assistance. Some useful links that I found:

Copy deleted page to draft

Hello Aiplaneman,

I'm reaching out to you, as a page I've created in my Sandbox got deleted due to conflict of intereses. I'm fresh at Wikipedia, and to be honest, I believed my Sandbox is my "Safe space" to experiment, that's why I created a page of a company, just to see how it would look like.

As far as i understand, I should have done it as a draft - my bad. Could you please help me in saving my effort into an acceptable form?

Thank you!

All my best,

Aldentyzm Aldentyzm (talk) 20:11, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aldentyzm: I'm confused. It appears you removed the content yourself: Special:Diff/1201783363. Removing content in an edit is distinct from deletion, which removes edits or pages from public view. In this case, the edit has not been removed from public view, so you can still find it in the page history. Cheers, Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 21:15, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

re: deleted page?

Hello, non-actual-airplane man,

I feel so ridiculous. I put together a page under this account for a local artist. It took me quite some time. Apparently, I got a message months ago that I never saw until I did a search... and now I fear the whole page has been deleted. To be clear, I am not the artist; I am a fan creating one for him (Atomik). If you could help me in resurrecting the page/getting it vetted, I would be so appreciative. My business is: awritingconcierge.com for reference.

Thank you, Allison AdamAtomik (talk) 14:00, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Allison/AdamAtomik (talk · contribs)! Thanks for writing. Sorry for my late reply. I am less active on Wikipedia these days. I believe you are referring to Draft:Atomik, which was deleted by administrator Jimfbleak (talk · contribs) for being written like an advertisement. You can see the deletion reason in the page log. As you may know, Wikipedia has policies on writing in a neutral tone and guidelines on subject notability. Given the reason for the page's deletion, I am hesitant to restore the text.
The conflict of interest (COI) guidelines probably also apply in this situation. To encourage transparency and objectively-written content, Wikipedia volunteers have come up with the COI guidelines, which include disclosure requirements for individuals writing about individuals or entities that they have a relationship with, particularly if they are being paid to do so. Let me know if you have any questions about that. Regards, Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 21:12, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

happy wikipedia birthday

I am not an active editing user of this wikipedia, and I don't know why I am here, but these tiny corners of the internet are strangely appealing to me. I hope you are doing well after 16 years on here (that's the number your page told me at least). I was a preschooler or something like that 16 years ago. If all this will still be here for me to visit in another 16 years, I hope to stumble into it again. 84.238.85.237 (talk) 02:11, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting the content re-pasted in draft

Hi,

Recently I put up a draft for publishing and got a review after which it was deleted. Can you please paste it back? Would be really helpful.

Thanks & Regards

Shruti Goel Shrutigoel2018 (talk) 11:54, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Shrutigoel2018:, I believe you are referring to the contributions you made to Draft:HyperVerge. Administrator Jimfbleak (talk · contribs) deleted the page under this criterion for advertising/promotion, so I am uncomfortable undoing Jim's action and restoring the content. It looks like a different account has re-created the draft. Regards, Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 20:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've deleted the new version too, which had no text. Recreated by a reasonably experienced editor, rather than an obvious sock, so not sure what has happened there Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:14, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first version was company-referenced blatant promo, so perhaps Shrutigoel2018 should read WP:Paid anyway Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:18, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

re: thank you for responding!

Hi, Airplaneman!

I feel happy at least knowing someone out there with far more knowledge of wikipedia than myself can assist. I understand the guidelines; however, I wrote the piece as an admirer of the artist. If that page can't be restored, can I resubmit a new page? It took me a long time to create that content (essentially, just figuring out how the wikipedia platform works) - which is why I'd be forever in someone's debt if it could be restored. If not, please let me know emphatically "no" - and I will proceed with a new page. Thank you! AdamAtomik (talk) 22:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A copy of my email reply, minus the deleted content:
Hi Allison,
Sorry again for the delay in my reply. I've removed my name from the list of people you probably found me on, since I am not volunteering anywhere near daily these days.
As for the article draft about Atomik that we've been talking about, I am unsure that Wikipedia volunteers would consider the subject to meet the General Notability Guidelines mentioned here. If you are able to establish the notability (notability as defined by the guidelines) of the subject by including significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, the article is more likely to be kept.
I am still unsure about restoring the article draft as it was deleted, since that would in some ways be a reversal of the previous administrative decision made by administrator User:Jimfbleak, and I don't want to set you up for additional disappointment by restoring content on-wiki that will likely be re-deleted. However, I know writing articles takes a lot of work, and it is tough to see the work removed. I am attaching a copy of the page below in this email.
All the best,
Airplaneman

Copy of a deleted page

Hi @Airplaneman,

I'm new to wikipedia and recently I created my first page about my friend's family business and it was an unpaid task. One editor @Jimfbleak got back to me and believe there's a conflict of interst creating this page so he/r suggested I check out the COI related article, revise it and ask him to review before publish. Would you be able to help me retrive the content so I can make it right? Thank you so much.

Copy of previously deleted page

Hello, would you be able to send me a copy of the page Cojum Dip before its deletion? Although it redirects to Tally Hall since 2023, it used to have some content in 2005 before being deleted shortly after. That page also used to contain Image:WOW.jpg, and I would also appreciate if you can recover this image.

Thank you very much. 57EML (talk) 12:42, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The old revisions of the page are still publicly accessible. You can view them here. You can go to Help:Page history for more information on how to navigate page histories.

Kindly recover my deleted "Trisen Larsen" Biography Article

Kindly recover the deleted "Trisen Larsen" Biography Article I posted the article via sandbox, kindly reinstate the article to my "user page" so I can make the necessary edits and changes required by wiki guidelines again via sanbox for review.

Chicago Meetup for Wikidata Day

Hello! This is User:Luiysia (IRL name is Kelly). My main interests are fashion, music, literature, and history. I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing and I found that there has been very little activity from the Chicago Wikipedia user group since 2020.

I'd like to host a casual meetup in Chicago to celebrate Wikidata Day on Saturday, October 26.

Proposed location is Engine Coffee in the Wicker Park/West Town area, at 11AM.

Here is the official meetup page, where you can add yourself as an attendee.

(If you would prefer not to see messages like this, go ahead and take yourself off this list.)

Hope to see you all there!

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

Thank you for making Deadlift semi-protected

Greetings @Airplaneman, hope you are doing good. This was a long overdue, and thank you very much for taking the initiative to get it done! Would also appreciate if you could consider making Progression of the deadlift world record semi-protected as well. With kind regards, Nir007H (talk) 02:21, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Nir007H, thanks for your note. I don't think there's sufficient disruption in Progression of the deadlift world record for semi-protection to be applied. Page protections require weighing the costs of restricted editing access with the benefits of reducing abuse, and I'm not sure the level of disruption here is worth semi-protection. Roughly, I tend to consider multiple disruptions per week from multiple accounts/IP addresses, among other factors, as grounds for semi-protection. You can always bring this to WP:RFPP if you would like someone else to weigh in though. Best, Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 18:05, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Macintosh Yamaha guitar

Hello Airplaneman,

I have just a small question. On the Macintosh startup article that you created (many years ago), you said in the "Startup Chime" section that the first generation Power Macintosh computers have a chime that used a Yamaha 12-string guitar played by Stanley Jordan. I've seen a lot of sources saying the 12-string part, but was it actually Yamaha brand? I want to make sure so I can at least put a source here. Please get back to me whenever you can.

Warm regards,

Jibblesnark86 (talk) 17:40, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jibblesnark86, that's a good question. I remember creating the article by merging multiple articles together. If you can't verify the Yamaha part, then it should be removed. Cheers, Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 18:00, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
