Speedy deletion nomination of Andreas Malm
Hello Ezlev,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Hatchens, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Andreas Malm, for deletion, because there's already a page about that topic at Draft:Andreas_Malm. Please don't be discouraged; we appreciate your effort in creating new articles. To avoid this in the future, consider using the search function to find pages that already cover what you want to write about.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Hatchens}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

- @Hatchens: thanks for the message. I've contested the deletion on the article talk page, although I'm not fully aware of Wikipedia policy around this specific issue. Please see Talk:Andreas_Malm. warmly, ezlev. talk 05:03, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism
Can you please intervene on Dustin Higgs, the user is deleting sources and parts about the execution and is clearly a sockpuppet. Inexpiable (talk) 06:51, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- Inexpiable, I agree that there's a possibility that Diamond is a sockpuppet, or at least a single-purpose account, and Diamond's latest edits and edit summaries are certainly disruptive. Still, I think it might be best to leave things be for the moment, as the article still provides an accurate view of things and this issue might just fade away if it's given time to do so. I think the best long-term course of action if specific content continues to prove controversial would be an RfC. In the short-term, relax for a while - you definitely deserve it after all your work on that article. warmly, ezlev. talk 07:49, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Thomas A Russo
I’m not sure this should have been accepted considering the sockpuppetry and probable CoI/paid issues involved, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Stevemalya. SK2242 (talk) 01:40, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- SK2242, I definitely understand the concern, but the article itself (while not devoid of issues) made it all the way through the reviewing workflow when I took a look at it. Since Stevemalya had already been duly blocked and the article seemed suitable, I wasn't sure what grounds there would be to decline the submission. That said, I'm new to AfC and would be grateful for any additional tips you can offer for situations like that one. warmly, ezlev. talk 01:50, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Roland Tormey
Hi, thank you for reviewing Roland Tormey as part of AFC and accepting it. I wanted to flag that something seemed to have gone slightly wrong when you did the cleanup at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roland_Tormey&diff=1001211236&oldid=1001211212&diffmode=source in terms of duplicating categories and the DEFAULTSORT tag, but I've since fixed that as part of my NPP checks. Keep up the good work overall though! -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:35, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Kj cheetham, thank you for catching that! Not sure what went wrong there, but in the future I'll try to double-check things like that manually after I use the script. warmly, ezlev. talk 18:04, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Reply tool
The Reply tool is available at most other Wikipedias.
- The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
- It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.
Research notes:
- As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
- There is preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments that they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[1]
- The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[2] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
A large A/B test will start soon.[3] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias (not including the English Wikipedia) will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. Editors at those Wikipeedias can still turn it on or off for their own accounts in Special:Preferences.
New discussion tool
The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[4] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.
Next: Notifications
During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

Speedy deletion nomination of Global Online Academy
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Global Online Academy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Onel5969 TT me 12:49, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
