why did you revert all of my edits?
[edit]not all of them were unconstructive. some might have been, but why did you revert the edits that were possibly constructive? Qxva (talk) 19:43, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- i noticed you didn't revert them all, but still most of them. what is your reason for reverting them? Qxva (talk) 19:45, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- nevermind, i saw that only the unconstructive ones were reverted. still, when i responded to someone, why did you revert my reply? Qxva (talk) 19:48, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Everything I revert looked like disruptive behavior. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:49, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- so saying "indeed" is disruptive? you reverted me when i said "indeed" Qxva (talk) 20:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- people respond "indeed" a lot Qxva (talk) 20:12, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Deletion of page Naveen Tewari
[edit]Reference to
- 18:43, 29 February 2024 UtherSRG talk contribs deleted page Naveen Tewari (G4: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Naveen Tewari (2nd nomination))
I see that you had undeleted the page once and eventually deleted it after discussion. Naveen Tewari is one of the most notable entrepreneurs from India. Actually the founder of the first Unicorn. Maybe the page was poorly put together. Wondering if I could recreate it? NS1811 (talk) 09:03, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Or simply improve the draft to make it factual & encyclopedic? NS1811 (talk) 09:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- You will need to go to WP:DRV for the community to decide the restore the article in some fashion. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Tried editing the page completely. But was rejected immediately by another user CNMall41 and placed a Undicslosed Paid tag assuming mischief. I thought the first rule of wiki was to Wikipedia:Assume good faith but alas, 6 hours of editing wasted. No point. So leaving it as is. Naveen is the founder of India's first unicorn and one of the most notable entrepreneurs of India. So thought that would give it a try. NS1811 (talk) 07:47, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Etelis coruscans
[edit]Hey UtherSRG, just following up on this tag. While I think you may be entirely correct that the redirect should be deleted, based on Template:R from species to genus stating "Note that the practice of creating redirects from species names that could be articles is strongly discouraged", I don't believe R3 is appropriate in this context. The subspecies/redirect (Etelis coruscans) is indeed mentioned at the target (Etelis#Taxonomy) which doesn't make it an implausible typo or misnomer. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:34, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough. How should it be deleted, then? - UtherSRG (talk) 16:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Probably RfD I'd imagine. I'm surprised to see that, despite that warning, there's ~4,600 pages in Category:Redirects from species to genus. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:40, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- "Note that the practice of creating redirects from species names that could be articles is strongly discouraged" was added to the template a little over a month ago (29 July 2024). While I would agree with that sentiment, I think that note would be better placed on {{R taxon with possibilities}}. R from species to genus suggests that it should be placed along with {{R to monotypic taxon}} when relevant, and it is also used on species in genera known only from fossils such as Apatosaurus ajax. There is no consensus to discourage creating redirects for species in monotypic and fossil genera (although there is consensus that these are "species names that could NOT be articles").
- I think there are a pretty small number of editors who are responsible for most of the species redirects to (non-monotypic and non-fossil) genera. And many of the species redirects to genera aren't tagged with {{R from species to genus}} (I've probably tagged a couple hundred of the species to genus redirects created by User:Galactikapedia, but there are thousands of them (see e.g. Microplana haitiensis).
- I don't think bringing individual species to genus redirects to RfD is an effective solution. It would be better to start mass RfD's corresponding to the editors who have mass created species to genus redirects and get consensus to delete them all. Galactikapedia is the worst offender in this regard. Plantdrew (talk) 21:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. What would be the best way to help in the deletion process? I didn't expect this to still have significant damage to the encyclopedia left behind seven years later, and I'm sorry. I want all the impractical redirects gone. 13-year-old me should not have had this much access. Galactikapedia (talk) 02:54, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Galactikapedia:, Hi, I was intending to link to your contributions without calling you out specifically by a notification. I didn't want to put you on the spot over what you did as your 13-year-old-self. But I do think your creations of redirects from species to genera weren't very helpful. If you want to help clean-up your creations of redirects from species to genera, tag them with {{Db-g7}}. Plantdrew (talk)

Userpage
[edit]Hi.UtherSRG, can you please fully protect my userpage from creation because I think I no need to create our page due to they reflected from meta wiki as glibal userpage. Happy editing!--- ᗩvírαm7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 12:19, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- I see no reason to do this. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:22, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- I thought fully protect level is very trustedable and anyone cannot edit fully protected userpage without any good reason, but I happy if you change protect level of creation of my userpage on here.Happy editing! --- ᗩvírαm7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 13:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
Misuse of rollback
[edit]Here, you reverted my edit without any explanation using rollback. Why did you revert the edit at all, and which part of WP:ROLLBACKUSE did you think justified your use of the tool? csw99 07:04, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- It seemed like obvious vandalism to me, blanking a portion of the article. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:01, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
