Hi! I took a look at [https://apersonbot.toolforge.org/recently-active/?admins the list of recently active admins] and your name came up. Would you happen to have the time to take care of [[WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Roqui15]], considering the user in question [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Roqui15&diff=prev&oldid=1166436183 admitted to it]?

:{{re|TompaDompa}} heh, I hate that list :) I would take a look if I wasn't due at the bank in a few minutes. I'll try to follow up later today if nobody else gets to it.

Greg O'Connor
Thanks for the advice about Greg O'Connor. My proficiency in locating archived sources is limited to clicking the link for the archive in a citation. Is there another way? Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 16:25, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Sundayclose: the way I do it is to copy the URL out of the citation source, and paste it into the lookup field at archive.org. You'll usually get a page showing you all the dates that they've taken a snapshot of the original page, although sometimes the snapshots have errors. I try to find a snapshot around the time of the access-date. It's pretty reliable for article text, but not so great for multimedia, and some sites just aren't archived. It's usually worth a shot, anyway, if a citation has a broken link. There's some more info at WP:LINKROT, especially the WP:DEADLINK section. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:27, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
I saw where you deleted this article. There is a season 2 of The Challenge:USA that will be debuting in September, and the cast was announced. What prompted the speedy deletion? Bgsu98 (Talk) 22:02, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Bgsu98: I was mass-deleting a number of drafts that the creator of this one made, because I checked enough of them to see a pattern of creating drafts on movies and shows that ranged from entirely speculative to completely made up. If you say that this one actually exists then I'll go ahead and restore it, but it would be helpful if you could add a source. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:04, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- I will do that as soon as it's restored. Thank you so much! Bgsu98 (Talk) 22:06, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- Ah I see what happened here, I seem to have been fooled by a redirect and an early page revision. I shouldn't have deleted this in the first place, and thanks for pointing out my error. It has been restored. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:07, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- When there was only one season, the original article was simply entitled The Challenge: USA. When a second season was confirmed, I renamed (ie. moved) that original article to The Challenge: USA (season 1). It's possible that someone else may have created a more general article (now called The Challenge: USA), plus a specific article for season 2. Either way, thank you for restoring it! Bgsu98 (Talk) 22:11, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- I see where you moved it to "season 1". Someone else a few weeks after that recreated The Challenge: USA as an article about the series, and there are now that main article and the two seasons articles, The Challenge: USA (season 1) and The Challenge: USA (season 2). That all looks fine to me. What led me to it was a batch of G3 deletion requests that were all drafts about things like a double-digit sequel to the film Avatar which were all clearly made up, and all made by the same IP editor. I should have realized when I clicked on your article that I had been redirected to a mainspace article, but I was deleting too quickly, and that's entirely on me. I also got the request below about a draft that another editor had adopted and put quite a bit of work into which I also should have realized, and that led me to take a look through the other pages I deleted to see if there were any more that I shouldn't have, but all the rest seem to be okay. Always happy to reverse an obvious error I've made, anyway, although of course I prefer not to make those mistakes in the first place! Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:19, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Draft:The Voice (American season 25)
Good Day!
I have been notified that the draft for The Voice (American season 25) has been deleted, citing WP:G3. I would like to refute this, as a cursory search shows that the season is very much real, and from recollection, multiple reliable sources support the article. While it may be too early to move the draft to article space, deleting it would just rob the eventual article of detailed coverage that may not be reproduced when started later. EdrianJustine (talk) 22:06, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- Happy to oblige, and my apologies. The draft has been restored. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:09, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. EdrianJustine (talk) 22:12, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Foster Cummings
Why would you remove prolifically documented allegations of corruption from his page? There are many newspaper articles corroborating these allegations which are supported by extensive documentation. He may not have been prosecuted for his financial crimes, but neither have many ruling tyrants of the world who repress their judiciaries - neither should he nor should other tyrants be above criticism on wikipedia. Websurfer868 (talk) 19:55, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free speech forum for the airing of grievances or the righting of perceived wrongs. Please see WP:RGW first of all, and then please join the discussion on the article's talk page. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:57, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- It is a fact that Foster Cummings uses his political influence to procure lucrative government contracts for his personal businesses, and while he is able to use his influence to evade prosecution, his misconduct has been documented by our 57 year old newspaper, The Trinidad Express, which I cited, among other national newspapers. Which do you take issue with, my source or the allegations? Websurfer868 (talk) 20:22, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- I am not going to respond about this here. See the discussion on the article's talk page. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:23, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – August 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2023).
- Firefangledfeathers
-
- AlisonW
- Amberrock
- Closedmouth
- Scottywong
Interface administrator changes
- The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools. (T334338)
- Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. (T337431)
- The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively.
- The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.
Hi @Ivanvector. Your message to me in your edit feels quite bitey. Personally, I do not see any clear claim of significance. The article outlines her early life moving to Germany from Kenya, and then has some rather promotional-sounding wording about her "versatile skills" and "loyal following of fans who are drawn to her infectious energy and fierce spirit". Hmm, very encyclopediatic. To me this article clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:SINGER. Yours, Osarius 13:47, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- Apologies for my tone, but the speedy tag had been removed in good faith by an editor who was not the creator, and a valid CSD tag removal should not be restored (per the policy). The claim of significance is this: "standard magazine Kenya named her as one of the top female artists to look out for in the year 2024". That is a credible claim of significance; it does not have to be a statement that demonstrates notability, it only has to assert significance. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:53, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:St. Joseph's Health Care London
Hello, Ivanvector. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "St. Joseph's Health Care London".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 19:59, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks Liz. It's been on my mind to continue with this but haven't had time. I'll restore it myself when I have more time, if that's alright with you? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:09, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Deleted pages
Hello, Ivanvector,
You asked in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bayanni (2nd nomination) if there was a way to search for deleted pages and the only way I know is to use Special:Undelete. Of course, you have to have the name of the article of draft you are looking for or know some variations of it. But it is a resource that is available for editors to use. Liz Read! Talk! 20:38, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
