 | Scam warning If you are visiting this page because someone claiming to be me contacted you asking for any payment of any type, it is not me and you are being scammed. If they are threatening to delete or take other adverse action against some article, they can't actually do that and you should not under any circumstances pay them any money or further engage with them. See also this scam warning regarding the Articles for Creation process and editors who edit for pay. |
 | As I frequently work at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I am "aware" of all the various areas covered by discretionary sanctions, and this notice may be considered evidence of awareness if enforcement is requested. It is not necessary to leave me notices advising me of such areas. |

Please read before posting
edit- Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.
- If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
- No lulztxtspk or emojis on my talk page, please. "You" is spelled "you", "though" is spelled "though", "because" is spelled "because", "people" is spelled "people", and so on. There is no character limit on Wikipedia comments, so there is no need whatsoever for ad-hoc abbreviating. If you don't even take yourself seriously, don't expect me to take you seriously either.
- If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
- If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
- If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email.

May I be unbanned from AP2 now?
editThe US elections are over and I think that's what I was supposed to be prevented from disrupting. Now more obscure and less controversial (though technically covered) articles like Mike Sherstad are in need of minor tweaking and I'm powerless to help them. I'm not planning to touch anything trendy, if that makes your decision easier. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:05, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- InedibleHulk, as these were unblock/unban conditions arrived at by consensus discussion, I would not unilaterally lift them. If you believe they are no longer necessary, you can of course appeal to AN/AE/ARCA as outlined at the CTOP appeals instructions. Seraphimblade Talk to me 06:09, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- I was afraid of that, but glad you remember me; cheers! InedibleHulk (talk) 06:12, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- I have appealed. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:29, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Gabriele Leyva (Speedy Deletion)
editHello. I wanted to ask you why did you speedy delete my article about Gabriele Leyva? It was a draft and didn't finished it yet. Went to sleep and woke up to it being deleted.
It is not written with any promoting advise or something like that at all, just wanted to write an article about him because he is very famous in the fortnite and cryptocurrency space but still haven't got a wikipedia page.
I will kindly wait for your response, thanks and have a good day! Cryptofenrir (talk) 15:15, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- Cryptofenrir, as you have been involved in writing promotional material, please first clarify whether you are being paid or otherwise compensated to edit Wikipedia, including but not limited to being asked or expected to edit as a duty of employment or internship. If so, you will need to make the required disclosures before we proceed. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:46, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not getting paid for doing this, I wish I was....
- I didn't do any promotion of anything,, I just started writing the draft and only wrote about him and his story, I honestly don't get where the promotion is there, I didn't promote anything but talk about his journey on being a Fortnite professional player and a crypto trader.
- I will kindly await for your response, and if necessary I will make the relevant changes so that everything is in order with respect to Wikipedia's policies.
- Have a good day!! Cryptofenrir (talk) 11:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- I see. Then, you'll need to keep in mind that Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally based upon facts from reliable and independent sources. If there is not a substantial quantity of reliable and independent source material available about a subject, it is not notable and there should not be an article about that subject at all. If there is, the article must stick to only facts which those sources verify, and must never be based upon personal knowledge or the like. They also must not promote the subject in any way, including via puffery or "talking up". As some examples here, but by no means an exhaustive list:
Of Italian and Cuban descent, Gabriele has earned a reputation for his sharp trading skills and strategic investments.
(puffery, also we use a formal tone, so "Levya", not "Gabriele"),Formerly a professional Fortnite player and one of the best in the world
("one of the best in the world" as confirmed by what reliable and independent source?),where his investments have allowed him to achieve substantial wealth at a very young age
(don't editorialize that the age is "very young", and "substantial" is not specific),Standing at 6'6" (195 cm), Gabriele's commanding presence reflects his larger-than-life ambitions.
(pure puffy junk), and the rest goes on and on like that. Promotional material like that is not permitted on Wikipedia. Seraphimblade Talk to me 11:23, 2 December 2024 (UTC)- Okay, I understand thank you for your advice! This is my first Wikipedia page and I want to learn how to do it properly, really appreciate it. May I get back the draft I was writing so that I can change all that mistakes I made? Cryptofenrir (talk) 14:07, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- No, I do not restore advertisements. My advice is generally that inexperienced editors should gain experience editing existing articles for a while before they even think about trying to create a new one. Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:45, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.

- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
