You recently deleted a draft biography page I created for an author, Frank Golding, on the grounds that the sources were largely from the subject himself. I tried to include a substantial amount of source from reputable newspapers and archives, but I would be happy to return to the draft and add more if it could be restored. Finally, if there is any wikipedia guidance on striking a balance for sources for memoirists that would be helpful - the details of the subject's biography are of course sometimes unavoidably best drawn from his own published work because memoir is about the self. Many thanks for your consideration. ] (]) 02:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)DeEsCeHa‬

Hi Jimfbleak. Hope 2025 has ricked off just right for you. I came across a reference to ''burnt'' in the Portuguese translation of the article, and I see that you introduced that element . Could you please clarify, so I can adjust the Portuguese to read better? Thanks. ] (]) 13:13, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Some little things to note to and ask you:

* I've noticed these inaccuracies at ]: 1. "A wild hybridisation with the Spanish Sparrow, P. hispaniolensis was recorded in Malta" – there are no Spanish Sparrows on Malta exactly, rather, there are some intermediates in the ] complex, the specific placement of which is not agreed. 2. ''Passer'' "contains 15–25 species depending on the authority" – Howard and Moore have 25; Misplaced Pages has articles on 26; and the IOC lists a different 26. What should I do?
::Thanks, that makes sense. As a child I used to see them running at dusk in the ] in ] in southern Angola, which – like you said – is open country. ] (]) 14:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

== ''The Signpost'': 15 January 2025 ==
Jim,


<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"><div style="column-count:2;"> {{Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2025-01-15}} </div><!--Volume 21, Issue 1--> <div class="hlist" style="margin-top:10px; font-size:90%; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> * ''']''' * ] * ] * ] (]) 07:54, 15 January 2025 (UTC) <!-- Sent via script (]) --></div></div>
You deleted an entry I posted yesterday (]), and I need clarity as to why.
<!-- Message sent by User:JPxG@enwiki using the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Wikipedia_Signpost/Subscribe&oldid=1269316164 -->

The message only says "largely unsourced BLP," which I don't understand because I cited 16 sources at the bottom. These were almost all significant and acceptable traditional media publications.

According to the BLP Deletion rules:

<blockquote>
Biographical material about a living individual that is not compliant with this policy should be improved and rectified; if this is not possible, then it should be removed. If the entire page is substantially of poor quality, primarily containing contentious material that is unsourced or poorly sourced, then it may be necessary to delete the entire page as an initial step, followed by discussion.
Page deletion is normally a last resort.
</blockquote>

My interpretation of this is that the article should not have been immediately removed, but rather, the necessary corrections should've been brought to my attention. It specifically says that page deletion is normally a last resort, whereas in this situation it seems to have been a first resort. And nothing I can see about the article appears to fit the criteria for immediate removal.

So, please clarify for me what's going on. I'm admittedly new at this, but I seemed to have followed all the rules.

Thank you.

Here's one of my sectioning problems I told you I'd have: I don't know what to do with the information on the ]'s introduced range etc. Currently there is a short and concise distribution and habitat section, a lengthy "as an invasive species section", including the spread of the House Sparrow, and a lack of a general "human interactions section". I don't entirely feel up to adding the latter—I would write it from a "sparrow" perspective. If such a section is made should the rest of the article sections in question keep their current focus?

Would you mind restoring the page on ]? I stopped editing it for 15 minutes to have breakfast, and came back to find it deleted. I was about to add various citations and links. I understand why you probably thought the article should be deleted, but giving authors less than 30 minutes to make a good entry comes across as slightly over zealous and hardly encourages contributors to maintain interest in making high quality submissions.

Thanks very much. Just so you know, this is not original research, in any way, It is an ancient accounting concept, fundamental to most accounting systems in the world, and together with the concept of replacement value (also in no way cutting edge) is the basis of most valuation systems.

I tried to publish the article but it gives me this message: "This page is currently protected and can be edited or moved only by administrators."

Thanx for your help.

I did not copy the website!

Should I delete the note? <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 09:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Deleted page - Frank Golding (author)

Hi there, You recently deleted a draft biography page I created for an author, Frank Golding, on the grounds that the sources were largely from the subject himself. I tried to include a substantial amount of source from reputable newspapers and archives, but I would be happy to return to the draft and add more if it could be restored. Finally, if there is any wikipedia guidance on striking a balance for sources for memoirists that would be helpful - the details of the subject's biography are of course sometimes unavoidably best drawn from his own published work because memoir is about the self. Many thanks for your consideration. DeEsCeHa (talk) 02:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)DeEsCeHa‬

Burnt fynbos

Hi Jimfbleak. Hope 2025 has ricked off just right for you. I came across a reference to burnt in the Portuguese translation of the article, and I see that you introduced that element here. Could you please clarify, so I can adjust the Portuguese to read better? Thanks. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 13:13, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia, that's going back a bit! Bustards are birds of open country, and the bushy nature of fynbos would be unsuitable, but burning effectively creates open habitat, at least until the shrubs regrow. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, that makes sense. As a child I used to see them running at dusk in the Iona National Park in Namibe Province in southern Angola, which – like you said – is open country. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 14:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Deletion of User:SdHb

This page wasn't a WP:U5. For one thing, the user had made more than 700 edits to mainspace and rather than the "few or no edits outside of user pages" required for U5. For another, what the user had put on the page was just "Hi!", which is not a remotely problematic user page. The rest of what was on that page was a comment that another user left, which could just be reverted. SilverLocust (talk) 11:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

SilverLocust thanks. Obviously you are technically right, so I've restored. I'll leave any reversion to you, since the history doesn't suggest to me which version should be restored if it's not left as is. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:20, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Looking at the user's talk page, it seems that you also unintentionally deleted Aminullah Khan as "making way for a move" even though that page was not a redirect and the page to be moved, Draft:Aminullah Khan, was a redirect. As WP:G6 notes, "An administrator who deletes a page that is blocking a move should ensure that the move is completed after deleting it." The person who nominated it really wanted to delete Draft:Aminullah Khan and move the article there (though that would be move warring despite a WP:DRAFTOBJECT). SilverLocust 💬 13:49, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
SilverLocust I'm happy for you to make any remedy you feel is appropriate. It's clearly not appropriate in article space. I suppose it's just about acceptable as a poor draft, but whether its creator will leave it there is, as you suggest, problematic Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:11, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

WERYPEAS (talk) 11:29, 14 January 2025 (UTC) I want to contact with you somehow, cause I'm new to Misplaced Pages, so if I am able to, I would appreciate the opportunity.. You deleted the page, and as I think the situation which happen right now is misunderstanding.
