Introduction[edit]

Hello there, my name is Sculture65, the editor who also did reality programs in Singapore, which I came to you after finding out the person behind these new edits and new changes to the result tables, which I follow suit upon I returned back to editing. Overall, the edits-wise the tables had gave some good explanation and improvement and giving old-school viewers some change, hence the reason that I followed suit for the edits, such as GeTai Challenge and Battle of the Buskers, of which I also did on my time as well. Again, this post is an introduction to the change, and it will be best to follow the template as well. Once again, it is a great pleasure to meet you, Bgsu98! Let's work as a team together.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at World Figure Skating Championships. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 22:10, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's no need to file an SPI as I blocked the user as a sock yesterday. Your block will expire in about an hour.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Bgsu98,

Please do not tag a template for speedy deletion until it has been processed at TFD. This template was transcluded on a lot of pages (you can see it here) and it would have been disruptive to delete it before these had been taken care of. Usually the admins who help out at TFD take care of templates that need to be deleted rather than having the templates tagged for speedy deletion because templates are more complicated than articles of redirects. Please review instructions at [for discussion/Holding cell#Closing discussions] and do not tag any more templates for speedy deletion until you have removed all transclusions. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:56, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Liz, Thank you for your explanation. I have removed the template from those pages, and apologize for any inconvenience. Bgsu98 (Talk) 09:34, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from Becky Bereswill, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

I'll also add, as I said to you here for the first time on April 20, that failing NSKATE alone (or most subject-specific guidelines) is not a sufficient reason for deletion if there is significant coverage in reliable sources to suggest that a subject passes WP:GNG/WP:BASIC. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 21:47, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She won the 2008 JGP Final; she should never have been nominated for deletion. Thank you for catching that for me! Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:52, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started[edit]

Hi Bgsu98. Thank you for your work on 2015 Turkish Figure Skating Championships. Another editor, Voorts, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Please remember to tag redirects that you create per WP:REDCAT.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Voorts}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

voorts (talk/contributions) 01:26, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Voorts:, I am not familiar with tagging redirects. Do you have any suggestions? Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:48, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I recommend reading REDCAT and familiarizing yourself with the redirect categories (WP:TMR). I use User:Eejit43/scripts/redirect-helper to make the work of tagging easier. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you doing WP:BEFORE searches?[edit]

Hi again, I notice your rate of deletion nominations hasn't slowed down and your rationales continue to be just "fails WP:NSKATE". Yesterday you added 14 AfDs and 4 more PRODs to an article alerts page I check, and at least one of the articles nominated pretty clearly passes GNG. It's hard to trust that you've done your diligence searching for sources as required by WP:BEFORE, especially for subjects where coverage would be expected in other languages, when you're asking to delete more than ten articles a day for more than a week, and your response to me above indicates that you may still see NSKATE as the end all vs GNG which it is not. Please slow down and refresh yourself on BEFORE and perhaps the notability guidelines in general. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 01:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you doing WP:BEFORE searches? I sure am. Thanks for asking. Bgsu98 (Talk) 02:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
