Hi, Scott. Just noting that I wanted to raise this issue with you too but only recently got 'round to this. Putting aside the fact that these revisions are very old for now, Wikipedia:Revision deletion § Misuse states that RevisionDelete does not exist to remove "ordinary" offensive comments and incivility ... Material must be grossly offensive. Things like 'When people eat Pringles, it is very yummy according to the people who eat/ate it', 'WORST WEB PAGE ON THE WEB "LULZ!"', keysmashing, and 'SUNNY TOSS MAFIYA' do not fall under that and should not be deleted. Please reconsider your refusal. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:33, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Sdrqaz. I'm afraid your interpretation is at odds with established consensus, which isn't surprising given the poorly-written preamble that you quote which appears to contradict the definition of RD3. The last time that I'm aware of that the community discussed limiting the use of RD3 to such a context was in 2011, at which time the sentiment "RevDel is a useful tool in denying recognition to regular vandals" was the most endorsed, which is in keeping with the definition of "purely disruptive material". If you feel that the criterion is inadequately defined you can certainly reopen the topic for discussion. In the meantime, however, I've attempted to resolve the contradiction.  — Scott • talk 10:57, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I have brought this up at the administrators' noticeboard (diff). You are invited to respond to the concerns there, per policy. Thanks, Sdrqaz (talk) 21:41, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Revision hide request

hey there was a pretty bad edit on Hurricane Beryl. I'm not sure if it is worthy of a revdel but it seems pretty racist, so I'm reporting it just in case. Cheers!

Yeah, I agree. Thanks for spotting it.  — Scott • talk 16:48, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

no problem! Gaismagorm (talk) 16:51, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Amberlihisar

Hey, why did you subtst the WikiProject banner at Wikipedia talk:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Amberlihisar? Gonnym (talk) 08:08, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Hiya, it was to turn off the categories but retain the presence of the template, because I couldn't immediately work out how to do it another way.  — Scott • talk 09:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I think {{WikiProject Articles for creation|category=no}} should work. Gonnym (talk) 09:36, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

That still produces a couple of categories, so I've just nowiki'd it instead.  — Scott • talk 09:47, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey, is there any five year version of File:Ten Year Society.svg anywhere? — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 07:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm not involved with that any more. Best of luck.  — Scott • talk 16:08, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Review requests at AfC Participants

Hello Scott, hope you are well. Could you please review the requests at AfC Participants, I've been waiting for a few days to have my request reviewed. Many thanks! Azarctic (talk) 00:14, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm afraid I've never had any involvement with that so I'm the wrong person to ask.  — Scott • talk 22:50, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh it's fine then. I've been waiting a few days that's all. Thanks anyway. Azarctic (talk) 01:45, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are willing to revision delete on your categories. Could you perhaps delete my block log, I was blocked awhile ago for sockpuppetry because I changed to this account, because on my other account it revealed on real name. On the reason of my block on the log it also states my real name. Could you delete that for me. Thank you! Azarctic (talk) 01:49, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately, revision deletion can only be used on personal information if it was revealed accidentally. Pretty much the only thing it's possible to do to completely separate yourself from a former account at your real name is a clean start. Sorry, I know that's not a great option.  — Scott • talk 14:43, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

It is personal information on the reason because the person who blocked me stated my real life name on the reason which is personal and private. It is possible to do on block logs. And even if I do make a new account, it will not change because the block reason will still be there. Azarctic (talk) 15:18, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
