Jordan

The article for Andrew Jordan is still under review. I have asked Ldm1954 to take a look at it, but I haven't received a response yet. Could you please assist with the review? Regards, Johnwilliamsiii (talk) 23:06, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi Johnwilliamsiii, hope you're well, thanks for your message. Looking at Draft:Andrew N. Jordan I see it is in the queue, but the backlog is quite large, so you may want to wait a few weeks for an AFC reviewer to take a look - I don't do AFC reviews myself. They are often not done in any particular order either. The article looks to be in a better state than it was before, but I'm still not convinced the subject is sufficiently notable, so it's not something I'd want to spend more time on really. You might want to ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography/Science and academia or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics/Taskforces/BPH, but I don't know if many people pay attention on those pages very often. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:55, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the speedy deletions!

Possible block evasion

Hi there, I currently serve as a mentor, and one of my mentees, MadRealname133isGy, has the following text on their user page: I sincerely apologize for Kj Cheetham. I am formerly Realname133. which leads me to believe they might be Realname133, a user you have blocked recently. randomdude121    04:11, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

randomdude121, thank you for flagging this. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:19, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Could you please restore my draft?

Hello, I believe my draft may have been deleted under G11. User:Alicecaoalso/ALSO Holding draft - Wikipedia

I am revising the content to remove promotional language and add independent sources.

Could the draft be restored so I can improve it? Thank you!

We are in process to update our Wikipedia page after several years by a lôt of changing and new information. This draft is still in process of updating and we would like to put that draft on Talk to let other users contributing after having completing information. Alicecaoalso (talk) 07:48, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Alicecaoalso, thank you for your message. Firstly, please ensure you respond to the message left on your talk page at User_talk:Alicecaoalso#March_2026 regarding disclosing paid editing. Secondly, I'm not willing to undelete that page, as it was clearly promotional. Please be aware what Wikipedia considers to be promotion is quite broad, see WP:YESPROMO. You may also wish to look at WP:BOSS. Technically no Wikipedia page is "yours". If you wish to propose edits to pages where you have a conflict of interest, please propose the specific changes on the article's talk page as per WP:COIEDIT, but you still need to disclose any paid editing first. Thank you. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:33, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Mirwais Khan Nika Zabul University

Hello Kj cheetham. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Mirwais Khan Nika Zabul University, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 11:57, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Page deletion

hello i just need know where is my page and why is it gone and where did it go why Hassan678 (talk) 10:54, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

why is it deleted who deleted it Hassan678 (talk) 10:55, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi Hassan678, thank you for your message. I assume you're referring to Draft:Al-Jazeera telecom ltd.. I deleted it under WP:G11 for "unambiguous advertising or promotion". The definition of promotion on Wikipedia is quite broad, see WP:YESPROMO. Also, you have not responded to the query about paid editing on your own talk page at User_talk:Hassan678#Paid_editing. If you do not respond to that you may be blocked. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:59, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

can you recover my page Hassan678 (talk) 11:00, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

It is technically possible to recover it, but I'm not going to as it is promotional and not encyclopedic material. Please respond to the message on your talk page regarding paid editing and disclosure your connection to Al-Jazeera telecom. Thank you. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:03, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

please recover it and i will make it encyclopedic material i have been worked for more then 2 weeks Hassan678 (talk) 11:05, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

I am not willing to - please respond to the question about your connection to that company. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:09, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

i work at this company Hassan678 (talk) 11:11, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying. I have added a disclosure to your userpage at User:Hassan678. For the record, I'm still not willing to recover the page, though another admin might. Please also see WP:BOSS. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:17, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

i you be able to recover it because i need it Hassan678 (talk) 11:18, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

hello! can you be able to recover our page or will report you Hassan678 (talk) 11:28, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Hassan678 (talk) 11:29, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not the place to promote your organisation. Did you look at the page I just linked to (WP:BOSS)? I am not willing to recover the page you put together, so please don't ask me again as you'll just get the same answer. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:32, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Request for a CoI edit

Hey @Kj cheetham, hope you are doing well. I was unsure how to properly set up a CoI edit request, so I added the appropriate tag to the talk page of Talk:India Research Watch. When you have a moment, could you please take a look? I would really appreciate it. Flyingphoenixchips (talk)

Flyingphoenixchips Thank you for your message! It looks like you did make the request properly, and I assume you're already seen WP:EDITXY. At a glance the request looks reasonable, but I don't tend to implement edit requests myself. It's in a queue with a backlog, and an editor will get to it in due course. Thank you for your contributions. -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:05, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Alright, thanks a lot! Much appreciated Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 18:40, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

About Draft:Gina Moseley

Hi @Kj cheetham, A few days ago I got a notification that you have reviewed my article. Thank you very much for that. But I see that, it is taken back to draft space. Did I make any mistakes? What should have been done? Please guide me. Will this article be accepted, or it is already accepted?

Help on a new article

Hi Kj cheetham!

Quick question: I'm making my rounds through new articles, and I just came across Alex Sim whose author was banned for sockpuppetry. Is there any action that should be taken on the article?

I haven't run across this before. They seem to have been banned immediately after the article was published.

Thanks! Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 21:42, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message! I'm just about to go offline and haven't looked at the timings of things, but WP:G5 is a potential option. -Kj cheetham (talk) 23:04, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

I'll look through it! Thank you!

Also - (not to hold you up from logging off) but not sure what to do with this one: Troy Nachtigall. Obvious COI due to the author's username and edit history, but subject may actually be notable (I haven't dug into the sources yet.) I tagged it and made a note on the talk page. If you have time next time you're on, could you take a look?

Have a great rest of your day! Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 23:15, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

On the subject of Alex Sim, it looks like the article was created just before the ban on the handles all occurred after the article was created. Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 23:24, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

The Troy Nachtigall article was moved to draft space due to the concerns I shared. Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 16:11, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi there. For Alex Sim, in that case probably nothing further to do about the article. For Troy Nachtigall, probably for the best it should go through AfC rather than straight to mainspace. Some cleanup would also be needed. I have left the author a gentle warning about COI. The username isn't promotional enough for something like a soft block. Hope this helps! -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:22, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

P.S. I have added a tag to Draft talk:Troy Nachtigall though. -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:24, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

You're the best! Thank you for your help with these! Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 16:00, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Always happy to help! -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:52, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

May 2026 Administrator Election – Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Candidates.

Here is the schedule:

• April 29 – May 5: Call for candidates
• May 8–12: Discussion phase
• May 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

• The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
• Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for admin elections candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
• The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
• The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
• Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

Arbitration

• The arbitration case SchroCat has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 15 April.
• Per a recent motion, appeals of blocks from the conflict-of-interest VRT queue are, by default, appealed on-wiki through the normal unblock process. However, they may be heard by the Committee if COIVRTers disagree on the interpretation of the evidence or believe ArbCom would be better suited to hear the appeal. Administrators are also advised that loosening or lifting such blocks without the consent of someone with access to the queue or ArbCom can be grounds for desysopping.
• Per a recent motion, restrictions issued directly by the Committee may now be enforced with blocks which work exactly like contentious topic blocks.
• The arbitration case Maghreb has been closed.

Miscellaneous

• The May 2026 administrator elections are scheduled to run from April 29 to May 19. The call for candidates ends May 5.
• The 2026 Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election is scheduled to run from April 25 to June 1. Candidacy submissions close on May 10.
• A new noticeboard for non-urgent, batch page protection requests has been created, primarily for the enforcement of contentious topic restrictions.

May 2026 Administrator Elections – Discussion Phase

The discussion phase of the May 2026 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• May 8–12: Discussion phase (we are here)
• May 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase
• Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Discussion phase.

On 13 May, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for.

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.
