Re: malformed AN3 request

[edit]

Received and understood, but I'd appreciate a brief look at the contributions of the tagged editor on the page as it's pretty clear to me that they are in large part WP:NOTHERE. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 00:48, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Etzedek24, I did have a look before recommending talking to the user and taking it to ANI if they persist. 🙂 I think reverting, notifying Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools and warning the user is a good approach. Let's see if there is a response other than simply continuing to edit the same way. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:07, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like they've decided to take me to ANI. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 02:57, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh my. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:14, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

please will you tell me if this is substantially identical to the GregHenderson version you deleted? I don't have the right goggles. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 12:08, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Timtrent, while WP:G4 excludes speedy deletions and the re-creator is blocked, it might not matter that much, but the difference between ToadetteEdit's version and Historyjunkie2024's revision is [1]. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:22, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Seems a small difference, thank you. There is a possibility that this might get AFC accepted providing Henderson with a reward. Intellectually many would find that objectionable. I'd appreciate your thoughts. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 21:07, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do! No worries and thank you! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:34, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Somehow I doubt that rejecting it, even with rationale, will be the end of it. I hesitate to take it to MfD because someone will find a reason to resurrect it. So that is the best I think I am able to do. Henderson may writ his books which is what he ought to have been doing all along. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 21:37, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I find it similarly likely that someone creates a new article about the same topic to break that forever while improving the encyclopedia and at worst ending up at AfD with a deletion that covers any reason for keeping the draft. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:49, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
However, this could be a honey trap for Henderson. My global lock request was granted, which gives me cause for hoping future socks, which I am sure are coming, will also be locked. Your concept has appeal! 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 21:53, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
