 | Scam warning If you are visiting this page because someone claiming to be me contacted you asking for any payment of any type, it is not me and you are being scammed. If they are threatening to delete or take other adverse action against some article, they can't actually do that and you should not under any circumstances pay them any money or further engage with them. See also this scam warning regarding the Articles for Creation process and editors who edit for pay. |
 | As I frequently work at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I am "aware" of all the various areas covered by discretionary sanctions, and this notice may be considered evidence of awareness if enforcement is requested. It is not necessary to leave me notices advising me of such areas. |

Please read before posting
[edit]- Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.
- If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
- No lulztxtspk or emojis on my talk page, please. "You" is spelled "you", "though" is spelled "though", "because" is spelled "because", "people" is spelled "people", and so on. There is no character limit on Wikipedia comments, so there is no need whatsoever for ad-hoc abbreviating. If you don't even take yourself seriously, don't expect me to take you seriously either.
- If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
- If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
- If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email.

Draft:Marvel (company)
[edit]Hello, would I be able to have access to this deleted draft so I may try again? Apologies if this isn't the right place to contact you.
AlyannadV (talk) 17:52, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- AlyannadV, I see that on 2 October on your talk page, you were asked if you are being compensated for your edits. An answer to this question is required before you make any more edits. Should you continue to edit without answering this question, you are likely to be blocked from editing. Seraphimblade Talk to me 17:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- Seraphimblade, thank you for letting me know! I am not as aware of all the rules as I should be, that's my bad. I just replied to it.
- Sorry to ask but is there anything else I can do? AlyannadV (talk) 18:04, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- Sure. What I would recommend doing, then, is first editing existing articles for a while. Creating an appropriate new article is hard, and an inexperienced editor trying to do that first thing is like putting someone who's never driven a car behind the wheel of a Formula 1 racer (or I suppose in your case, asking a first-year architecture student to design a whole skyscraper). So, try that for a while, review what we mean by neutrality, notability, and how to identify sources that are reliable and independent. Once you're more experienced, then maybe you can try creating a draft again, using what you've learned. I don't restore advertisements, but once you're ready to try it again, I would give you a list of sources that were used in the deleted material, so let me know and I'll do that.

DRV review
[edit]An appeal of one of your AfD closes has been brought at DRV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2024_October_23 Posting this procedurally as the appellant did not properly format the appeal. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:58, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:23, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]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,

The Calvine UFO
[edit]Hi. You removed the photo of Craig Lindsay which I had included on the Calvine UFO page. It’s the second time it’s been removed and from what I gather you’ve done this due to copyright. This image is essential to this case. Craig released the only known photo of the sighting and provided the only first person testimony so we need this photo on here. I have the permission of the copyright holder to add it - he is happy for it to be shared via CC-4. Ie Reproduced with his credit but no commercial use or reuse without his permission. I’m new to wiki so perhaps I’ve listed it incorrectly. Could you advise as we really need to have an image of criag with the photo on the page. Could i include it if I wrote about it directly in detail?? Or can you tell me how I list it with CC-4 thanks Drewphotoboy (talk) 22:23, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- Drewphotoboy, at the top of this page, in the section marked "Please read before posting", there is a specific instruction to discuss article edits at the article talk page, not my talk page. Please do that. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:36, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks and apologies. Will do. Drewphotoboy (talk) 22:54, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Proposed decision posted regarding Yasuke
[edit]In the open Backlash to diversity and inclusion arbitration case (also called Yasuke), in which you offered a preliminary statement, the proposed findings and remedies have been posted—though you are not mentioned in any of them. If you wish, you may review this decision and draw the arbitrators' attention to any relevant material or statements. Comments may be brought to the attention of the committee on the proposed decision talk page. For a guide to the proposed decision, see Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Party Guide/Proposed decision.
