@Buaidh: bringing this up here in case you miss it in the discussion...you absolutely should not have moved an article that was brought to AFD before it was closed. I see you have nearly 20 years experience editing, I'm shocked you'd think this is appropriate. nf utvol (talk) 14:24, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

@Nfutvol: This article was under construction.  Buaidh  talk e-mail 20:20, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

It really doesn't matter if it was under construction or not: you don't move articles while they're at AFD until after the discussion has closed. If anything you should have started it as a draft or in your sandbox, providing sources and ensuring it followed the guidelines at WP:NLIST. nf utvol (talk) 20:38, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

@Nfutvol: You're correct and I'm sorry. I should have started this article in my user namespace, but this was no attempt at subterfuge. I've created 29,569 active pages, and I didn't think this article would attract attention as rapidly as it did. Yous aye,  Buaidh  talk e-mail 12:34, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Wikipedian cancer survivors

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 Category:Wikipedian cancer survivors requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:16, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

Userboxes

If you want to create more and more new userboxes for your userpage, could you please be a little bit more careful about the categories you have them file the page in? For the second time this week alone, I just had to spend time hunting for where a redlinked userbox category was coming from, because you used the erroneous Category:Wikipedians interested democracy on User:UBX/PIC instead of the actually-existing Category:Wikipedians interested in democracy. (And the first time was on User:UBX/K$H, where the error you made was one that left the page filed in a "Category:Category:" instead of a "Category:".)

Pages can't sit in redlinked categories, however, so when something like that happens other people end up having to invest their time into fixing it — and you have so many userboxes on your userpage that I had to spend far more time than necessary just trying to figure out which box was even transcluding the redlink in the first place, and again this was the second time I've had to invest time into cleaning up a redlinked category on your userpage, transcluded from a misspelled user category in a userbox, just this week.

So could you please be more careful in the future to ensure that you're using categories that exist instead of leaving your page filed in misspelled categories that don't exist? Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 15:28, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

@Bearcat: I will try to be more careful with category names. Yours aye,  Buaidh  talk e-mail 14:24, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Removing other's userboxes

Hi there,

You removed my userbox from the political organizations section of the US political userboxe page. I believe this is not the right call, and have added it back.

FIRE, like the HRC, is a legal and political advocacy group and a userbox expressing support for it rightfully belongs in the section. If you disagree, please articulate your argument here or on my talk page.

Best, Bravelake (talk) 06:07, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
