Speedy deletion nomination of Buses.gg

Hello 11wallisb,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Buses.gg for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Buses.gg to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hi @AstrooKai, I returned that article to draftspace a little bit ago as part of the NPP review I did. The actual creator is @Ben-fpyt. Cheers! 11WB (talk) 04:01, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Never mind, ignore what I said. I know what this means now. In future I will remember to deletion tag the left behind redirect when returning an article to draft at NPP. Thanks for this! 11WB (talk) 04:31, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Edit Vauxhall Vectra

The creator has stated that they have never made an article and has asked you to edit it so it follows the guidelines. 2A02:C7C:592C:4200:C540:9E55:5D21:E87B (talk) 10:11, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. I am not able to assist with this at the moment, however I would recommend having a read of Help:Your first article which will give some guidance on this. Writing and creating articles is one of the most difficult things to attempt when starting out on Wikipedia! Happy editing! 11WB (talk) 10:22, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

COI

FYI - see WT:Conflict of interest/Archive 35#How I see it for at least one discussion about stock ownership which did not gain consensus nor did anything else in that monster discussion because there are nuances and no one can agree where to draw the line. S0091 (talk) 19:40, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

I realise now the specificity of COI that was being discussed on the AfD. Paid editing is not inherently a COI, an example would be the Open Knowledge Association (I fully support OKA, they have a great mission!). If an editor has shares in a company (for this example), they then have a clear vested interest, which would almost certainly affect how they write about the company. Per WP:COI, this is discouraged. I definitely find it interesting how this can be a point of debate with something that, to me at least, appears to be quite black and white in the guidelines. 11WB (talk) 19:51, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for this! I have read your marking notes and replied! 11WB (talk) 19:57, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Zippybonzo! I was wondering if you might be willing to look at my NPP log and possibly give some feedback? I've so far completed 70 reviews during the drive, according to the leaderboard. Receiving some practical feedback before completing the training exercise would be beneficial! It is a totally okay if you don't have a spare opportunity to do this, NPP/S has been extremely informative anyway! Thanks! 11WB (talk) 09:03, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

WNS AfD

N.B. that although I'd commented previously, I had not made a proposal about how to deal with the article until this afternoon, so I think it's only one editor who's changed their recommendation (so far). Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 19:47, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for this. That AfD has not been enjoyable to participate due to the sock-puppetry, IP evading and canvassing that has gone on (not to mention UPE in the actual article). I feel partly responsible as the nominator. I'm looking forward to it closing. Whilst I don't think it will close as keep, in the event it does, I worry a DRV could follow... 11WB (talk) 20:40, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

Upcoming expiry of your patroller right

Hi, this is an automated reminder as part of Global reminder bot to let you know that your permission "patroller" (New page reviewers) will expire on 00:00, 1 October 2025 (UTC). For most rights, you will need to renew at WP:PERM, unless you have been told otherwise when your right was approved. To opt out of user right expiry notifications, add yourself to m:Global reminder bot/Exclusion. Leaderbot (talk) 19:43, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

A goat for you!

Thanks for sparing the article about Synaptic from AfD!

GrinningIodize (talk) 19:48, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

No problem at all! I've added those sources you provided to the article, and also fixed one of the existing sources as it was a dead link and fortunately had an archived version. This AfD was badly put together and I should have done more research before submitting. This definitely does not represent the high standard I usually try to maintain! 11WB (talk) 20:20, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

I am not good at emotional responses after the first couple sentences, so I'll just say that you're awesome. GrinningIodize (talk) 12:50, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

That sounded cold, but that wasn't my intent. GrinningIodize (talk) 12:51, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
