ip comment
[edit]- According to the information you provide, you are American and never know or care about Vietnam. So please ask, what do you take to fix my article? While I have to work hard to create it through mobile phones, the only job you can do is sabotage and delete everything related to Vietnam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2401:D800:B141:A456:4521:EC69:6866:C04D (talk) 21:42, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi IP, I understand you aren't happy with my reversal of your edits. Unfortunately they aren't according to Wikipedia's WP:MOS, which you may want to read to better understand the formatting and language we use here. Also, please refrain from using personal attacks. Making assumptions about the belief or knowledge of others based on nationality is not appropriate conduct on Wikipedia. Sarsenet (talk) 00:47, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Treadmill Challenge
[edit]Hello Sarsenet,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Treadmill Challenge for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.
If you don't want Treadmill Challenge to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

- Hi User:Bunnypranav, sorry I screwed up while moving the page- I should have probably asked for help somewhere first. You probably should let the article creator, Hiro1771 know, as I had no part in creating the page and just moved it. Thanks, Sarsenet (talk) 11:09, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- No worries. If you plan to do more draftifications in the future, consider using User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, it will auto tag the redirect for r2 ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 11:10, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]how do you make these things that have an arrow that can drop down to show more information? WikiHelper3906 (talk) 17:13, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi WikiHelper3906, that's a feature of mobile Wikipedia. On desktop Wikipedia, section headers automatically show all content. On the mobile version, section headers will collapse automatically once there are more than 3 or 4 sections on a page, I believe. Sarsenet (talk) 05:41, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Bowed guitar April 16, 2025
[edit]Hello @Sarsenet,
I noticed that you removed all the content and references I added to the Bowed Guitar article.
From my perspective, this was not promotional content, as the product in question was the first to enable accurate bowing technique on an acoustic guitar. The focus of the addition was on the technique itself—not the brand. I’ve since revised the section, removing brand mentions where they weren’t essential and using general terms like “guitar bow” to keep the tone neutral.
Since bowed guitar is a niche and relatively undeveloped field, the contribution of the Pickaso Guitar Bow to this technique is quite significant. Omitting it entirely diminishes the scope and informative value the article could provide to readers interested in this method.
After all, music is also a form of creative profession—when a guitarist performs, they are both the artist and the product. Would mentioning a guitarist who uses a guitar bow in an innovative way also be considered promotion?
Lastly, I noticed that the website link I added was removed from the external links section, while the link for another product—the Piranha Bow—remained. I’d really appreciate some clarity on the criteria used in such cases, to ensure fair and consistent editing.
Thanks in advance. Jonathanshenhav (talk) 16:36, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
