CSD vandalism tag on User:Charlesbeaulne08/sandbox
@Whpq
Check the last paragraph, first sentence; subtle vandalism which makes it obvious the entire article is a prank. Qcne (talk) 15:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing that out. I've deleted it as A10 rather than A3 as that material is disparaging and not sourced. -- Whpq (talk) 15:48, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Qcne (talk) 15:50, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Oops
Can you delete Talk:Oviul Maruf, too? Thanks. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 14:56, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- Done. -- Whpq (talk) 14:57, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
File:Vee Parker.jpg
Hi Whpq. What do you think is the best way to deal with File:Vee Parker.jpg? It seems like a copyrighted screenshot that's incorrectly licensed as {{cc-by-sa-4.0}}. It might be OK to convert to {{Non-free television screenshot}}, but the source is a bit sketchy. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:11, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- The license is obviously not correct. Fandom is CC licensed but not the screen shots. You could convert to nonfree with the assumption this is a true screen shot (very likely true), or if you have doubts about sourcing, you could just replace it with an image with verifiable sourcing. -- Whpq (talk) 13:24, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking a look at this. I'll try to explain this to the file's uploader. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:17, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
