I have fixed a problem with the archiving of this page. I have also left some helpful comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ankur Warikoo (2nd nomination). (I actually planned to vote delete, but when I went through the sources I found on a Google News search, I realised that deletion was the wrong thing to do.)-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:38, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Toddy1! Thanks for fixing the talk page issue. Your input to the discussion is highly appreciated. Thank You! PerspicazHistorian (talk) 12:09, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know that if an article is deleted, you can ask the admin who deleted it to restore the article to draft so that you can work on it? For example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ankur Warikoo (2nd nomination) resulted in deletion. If you wanted to improve Ankur Warikoo, you could post a message on User talk:OwenX asking for it to be restored as Draft:Ankur Warikoo.

But if you do that, you need to be willing to leave it as a draft, and let it go through the review process. If you move it back from draft to mainspace it will really annoy admins.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:27, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

The advantages of signing your posts are: (a) we know who posted them, (b) we know when you posted them, and (c) ping type functions only work if you sign the posts. "@[[User:Valereee|Valereee]]" is a ping.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:39, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Toddy1, I have added signatures. PerspicazHistorian (talk) 08:27, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please change your statement on enforcement, I don't want to get blocked. PerspicazHistorian (talk) 08:28, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A p-block from article space would be a good result for you. Do you understand what that would mean?

You would be allowed to edit talk pages.
You would be allowed to edit draft articles. If you asked for Ankur Warikoo to be restored as Draft:Ankur Warikoo you could work on that.
You would prevented from editing article pages.

I think that Valereee is right in thinking that allowing you to edit draft pages would help you develop the skills you need to later edit article pages. Bishonen agrees with Valereee on this.

Once you have shown that you have done a good job on different draft articles, you can ask for the p-block from article space to be removed.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ram1751 I agree, the whole article is copy pasted from [1]. Thanks for letting me know its unreliability. PPicazHist (talk) 07:48, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
