Your nomination of ASMR is under review

Your good article nomination of the article ASMR is under review. See the review page for more information. This may take up to 7 days; feel free to contact the reviewer with any questions you might have.

Might not be able to work for a couple of days due to your concern triggering my ADHD#Rejection sensitive dysphoria. This is not your fault by the way, it was a valid consern even if I don't know the exact details that lead you to see that this account is a valid sock. - Flower (she/her; Accounts) 16:43, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

My mistake was absolutely unacceptable and I should have been more thorough before leaving that message. I am very, very sorry. 😞 11WB (talk) 17:07, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

The admin I pinged is aware of my error and this mistake has been recorded both on this talk page and on the GA review edit history. I will make sure I am held to account for this should I make a similar error in the future. I will try my hardest to do better... 11WB (talk) 17:09, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Your good, I see it as a valid concern due to the inherit socky nature of this account. - Flower (she/her; Accounts) 17:15, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

If I may explain my reasoning, and I realise it is not an excuse in the slightest. I read the first line of your user page explanation and thought it meant the account was set up for that district. I read the rest but misunderstood that you were the only person using the account. Your last sentence also uses the word 'our', which I now realise doesn't mean multiple people. Had I read and understood, I would not have made this mistake.

I appreciate that you've let me know that I have caused you to feel rejected, I feel very bad about this. I should have contacted you discretely on your talk page or by email rather than suspending the review outright. From a Wikipedia standpoint, I have violated both WP:AGF and WP:BITE by causing you to feel unable to carry on with the review. If you would like to terminate the review or transfer it to another reviewer, this would be very fair based on what has happened. 11WB (talk) 17:26, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

No, I just need a couple of days to get my mental proccess back, like I have already been doing. - Flower (she/her; Accounts) 17:37, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

More context on this: It's exam season so its expected for me to be more stressed then normal. - Flower (she/her; Accounts) 17:47, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Also, to be fair, I am not able to respond by the email linked to this accout due to it outing my main accout.

I only send or respond to emails sent to/recieved from CUs or others with a restriction on connecting the accounts in public. - Flower (she/her; Accounts) 17:41, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Your nomination of ASMR is on hold

Your good article nomination of the article ASMR has been placed on hold, as the article needs some changes. See the review page for more information. If these are addressed within 7 days, the nomination will pass; otherwise, it may fail. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of IPOfAFlower -- IPOfAFlower (talk) 18:02, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

^^ Not entirely true

Its there to say I won't be working on it.

Though, there are a few source related things that are ehh. - Flower (she/her; Accounts) 18:09, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Happy to continue working on this. I will be less active around the 24th-25th for Christmas however. 11WB (talk) 23:57, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Genuinely chuffed about this, thank you! ☺️ 11WB (talk) 00:12, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on my Autopatrolled request! It was appreciated as it was unexpected, and it really brightened my day. Cheers from North Carolina! 🙂 Johnson524 18:10, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

No problem at all! I am thoroughly impressed by the incredible amount of articles you've created, all being of such excellent quality! Thank you for the cookie! ☺️ 11WB (talk) 18:18, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

Ping

You recently pinged me, but I do not have any topic ban with WP:CT/PIA included. Why was I pinged? Iljhgtn (talk) 00:25, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

I am unable to respond to this due to the word count rule enforced by ArbCom, sorry. 11WB (talk) 00:26, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Even here? Well, no matter. I do not plan to respond to that comment. Just was confused why I was pinged is all. Iljhgtn (talk) 00:55, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

I really shouldn't discuss it here, the rules ArbCom enforce are very clear about word count limits. You are welcome to leave a statement on the actual page, but beyond that I can't discuss this here. 11WB (talk) 00:58, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Understood. Iljhgtn (talk) 01:11, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

@11WB, just fyi, it's totally ok for you to respond to questions from other participants in a case on your talk page. It's also ok if you don't want to, but you don't have to keep silent just because you have a case at ARCA. If you were trying to communicate with one of the admins/arbs working on the case, that would be different. -- asilvering (talk) 00:38, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for this. I was being cautious as I didn't want to be seen as trying to get around the word limit. @Iljhgtn, to answer your question then, you requested that the closer of the AfD check for topic banned participants. I performed this check and found six participants, including yourself, who had topic bans or other warnings. @Daniel confirmed only two editors had active topic bans with the others only being warnings, already being lifted or being irrelevant entirely (such as yours). This was after I had already filed the report, by which point it was too late to unping. As the requester of the check however, I still believe that your involvement in the case warranted your inclusion. I hope this answers your question and I am sorry for not answering it when you asked. 11WB (talk) 02:22, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Comment on PERM/NPR

I don't want to clog up the NPR page, but I really appreciate this comment and thought I'd give a full reply here. Firstly, thanks so much! I really appreciate being appreciated.

I don't keep that list of problems so I can feel bad about it; I keep it partly so I can be reminded not to repeat those mistakes, and partly because if people are stalking my contributions then problems are what they're looking for, and I may as well save them the effort.

That AfD you closed should have been a requested merge; I just hadn't considered it as an option because AfD was the venue I was used to.

Again, thanks a lot for the praise; I suppose at thos poimt there's only one thing to do which is to ask whether you have any feedback, since you've clearly seen me around at least a little. :) lp0 on fire () 20:09, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

No problem at all! To respond to your second paragraph, I personally look for participation of any kind really, not specifically positive or negative, I assess things based on what I see and read, rather than trying to search for specific things. Your AfD was fine, though you are right, a WP:MERGEPROP would have been the better option to achieve without risking outright deletion of the article.

Before I give you feedback, it should be noted I am new myself. I have only been a new page reviewer since October. You have quite a bit of work in cleaning up WP:BLP articles, which is great! Reverting stuff like this is exactly what should be done, so definitely carry on doing that! You have been active at AfD for just over a month, and your match record looks pretty spotless, based on the nomination I mentioned over on the permissions page, those look good as well. You haven't done any work over at WP:AfC yet, it is slightly different to general NPP, so if you are interested definitely check that out when you get the opportunity. You are also welcome to join the NPP Discord, for which the direct invite can be accessed here. When you do join you're able to link your Discord account to Wikipedia through a bot for server permissions. The community is very friendly and if you want to keep up to date on NPP related goings on, I would recommend joining! You would also have a much easier way to contact fellow reviewers and administrators should you want to ask something privately!

I hope this feedback is helpful in some way for you. I am going to courtesy ping @Asilvering to invite them to add anything I may have missed here. They have helped me a lot with pretty much everything on Wikipedia and they are someone I trust and respect.

You are welcome to ask anything, any time, and I hope to see you around the project in the future! Happy editing! 💫 11WB (talk) 20:47, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! As you may have noticed, my account is 89 days old, which is below the suggested minimum for both NPR and AFC, so that's why I don't have experience there. lp0 on fire () 20:56, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

Just to add something I forgot to mention, regarding the second entry on your list, I saw that @Liz informed you about the error and you acknowledged this and apologised. This is exactly how to handle this kind of situation!

WP:NPRCRITERIA says accounts should be at least 90 days old, so you are less than 24 hours from meeting the criteria! By the time an administrator reviews your request, you will almost certainly meet the criteria! 11WB (talk) 21:05, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

If you don't get NPR, do feel free to apply for AFC. -- asilvering (talk) 00:38, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

I shall :) lp0 on fire () 00:40, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for the AP nomination! I'd never thought about the process of it before, even despite all of my other flags. Great work on TWBTLATS! -- Alex_21 TALK 21:52, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the coffee! The article is well-sourced and explains the show nicely! I was very surprised when I saw that you aren't autopatrolled, especially considering the extraordinary number of articles you've created and authored. Definitely well deserved! 😊 11WB (talk) 22:16, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

New pages patrol January–February 2026 Backlog drive

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.

Your AfD closure

Hi, you closed my AfD at WP:Articles for deletion/Bennett University (2nd nomination) but given that the discussion had only been relisted once and the guidance for non-admin closures is to only close discussions with unambiguous outcomes, it seems inappropriate to non-admin close this as a no-consensus keep rather than relisting it for further discussion. Athanelar (talk) 17:51, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

I've gone ahead with a second relist. Thanks! 11WB (talk) 18:40, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Add the reason for the relist to the relist message. Kelob2678 (talk) 18:45, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

 Done. I've transferred the initial close rationale to the relist comment. 11WB (talk) 18:49, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

No, I meant something along the lines that you closed it as 'No Consensus' but, upon request, reconsidered. Compare to the third relist here Kelob2678 (talk) 18:52, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Oh, I see what you mean. I can do that, one moment. 11WB (talk) 18:58, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

 Done. 11WB (talk) 19:01, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
