Remember to assume good faith and be civil. No personal attacks - any of those will be removed.

I'm only human a jellyfish. Please tell me if I make a mistake, whether by message, by template, or by trout.

Your revert

Not to be a dick or anything, since we all make a bad revert every once in a while, but you may want to pay closer attention in the future: it was explained, and the content being removed was completely unrelated to the rest of the stuff in the article. jp×g🗯️ 03:00, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

You're not being a dick! That was absolutely my mistake. I must have misread, sorry! Jellyfish (mobile) (talk) 17:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, after some further review (a bit late) - categorically misunderstood what an algorithm is.  Self-trout Jellyfish (mobile) (talk) 20:46, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Please

Don't revert: report. If you revert, they just revert you and they get a kick out of that. Drmies (talk) 01:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Will do - AIV the best place? jellyfish ✉ 01:25, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Sure, or notify any active admin. If you know your way around IRC, report it there. It's a sad little person who hates gay people, hates trans people, hates Black people, hates women--it's very American. They use IPs in Kentucky/Ohio, often from libraries and other public places, cause they have no friends. In general, rollback is very enticing but for these kinds of serial losers it's also just a masturbatory trigger. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:29, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

I'll have to figure IRC out sometime this week. I've been limited to Discord since it's a little more noob friendly. jellyfish ✉ 01:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

help me write article

hi there jellyfish, you nominated my article (Sid Sadique) for speedy deletion the other day.

was wondering if you could help me rewrite it as I do believe it would be a beneficial article to include on Wikipedia.

I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong as I wrote in a neutral stance, I even took inspiration from other featured articles.

as you can see from my edit history I have edited articles in the past

any advice would be much appreciated, thanks 2433n (talk) 10:25, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, User:2433n, unfortunately, I haven't had the time to create any new articles myself. I can only offer about as much help as Help:Your first article can. Also, please pardon my WP:XYZ links to some policies, in a bit of a rush on my phone.

First and foremost, make sure the subject meets the general notability guidelines/WP:GNG, and has received significant coverage/WP:SIGCOV in independent, reliable, and secondary sources/WP:RS. Your article in particular (Sid Sadique) if I remember was entirely unreferenced, failed to indicate notability/WP:N, and had a generally promotional feel to it when reading/WP:PROMO. Also, if my memory serves me right, the article was just kind of a raw dump of numbered bullet points & text that you said just needed some cleanup. Honestly, if an article needs cleanup to that degree (entirely reformatting it), you should first create it as a draft/WP:DRAFT or at least create a version of the article in your sandbox/User:2433n/sandbox. You can click the red link to create it (apologies if you're already aware of how red links and policy work, but those policies are usually always the reason I'll nominate for speedy deletion).

I hope this helps! Have a wonderful weekend. Jellyfish (mobile) (talk) 15:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

@Jellyfish (mobile) many thanks for your advice you have been very helpful! I will rewrite and submit for review before publishing next time :) 2433n (talk) 21:31, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Former Unidentified decedent

A tag has been placed on List of Former Unidentified decedent requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:18, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey, thank you for nominating! Completely blanked on doing so earlier. Jellyfish (mobile) (talk) 19:52, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
