Hi I have been declining many g13 nominations, because the page has never been in WP:AFC. Drafts created from scratch, or moved from article space are not eligible for G13 delete (unless with AFC template added by writer). However some pages were blanked by author, always blank, were nonsense or obviously a test edit, which have their own speedy delete codes. Please read Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion carefully. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:41, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
"that are using the project's {{AFC submission}} template"line at WP:G13. I would have thought the template was either on automatically or wasn't necessary. Thanks for the explanation. Chris Troutman (talk) 04:15, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I was wondering about your move of the above from draft to mainspace. This is clearly a draft which is far from complete being only a list of presenters and containing no details of programming etc. and has more or less been abandoned by the original author. There is also no parent article, although the creator of this draft attempted to write one some months ago but it was re-directed to the BBC Sport page. Just by way of background this draft was created by an IP-hopping editor well-known to the Wiki F1 project who also edits under the username 'Rowde'. Having spent 18 months trying to create articles for F1 cars which fail notability he has more recently turned his attention to TV coverage of the sport, creating pages for "X (form of motorsport) on Y (broadcaster)" which would, if accepted, produce dozens (at least) of pages. However several have been deleted as What Wikipedia is not, WP:NOTDIRECTORY or WP:NOTTVGUIDE. The template as it stands has little use, so is it possible for it to be restored as a draft where it could be deleted as abandoned after six months or would TfD be the more appropriate way to deal with it. Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 16:48, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi Avicennasis, please allow me to get in touch with you because you have stated sympathy with environmental causes on your user page. I would like to invite you to check out the Environmental impact project page on Meta, where I am trying to create some momentum to reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. My first goal is to have all the Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy. Maybe you could show your support for this project as well by adding your signature? Thank you, --Gnom (talk) 19:28, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi there! It seems that last week you added a large number of director subcategories to Category:Films by director. However, none of these have the correct sort tag on them, so they are all coming up under "F". Do you know if this is fixable by bot? --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:13, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi! Hope you don't mind me nitpicking over your signature. It contains invalid HTML that throws off syntax highlighters. If you don't mind, could you kindly change it to the following? It will render exactly the same as your current signature:
[[User:Avicennasis|<sup style="color:red">Avic</sup>]][[User talk:Avicennasis|<sub style="color:blue">ennasis</sub>]] @
I'm curious how you got the Jewish calendar to show, but at any rate that's not throwing off the syntax highlighters, so no problem there :) Thanks! — MusikAnimal talk 20:22, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
I've declined the speedy histmerge, as they are (or were) two separate articles which have been merged. I believe the appropriate fix is to move Wikipedia:Social mobility back to Intergenerational mobility and note the merge on the talk page. I'll set about doing this, unless you think I've missed something. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:30, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
We now have 816 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Hello! Thanks for reviewing my pages, but I'm not really sure what that means—you also reviewed some pages which are not done, such as User:Psiĥedelisto/Penal Code of Spain, and User:Psiĥedelisto/Q tails has already become Q#Typography. I hope that especially I won't be penalized for the in-translation article User:Psiĥedelisto/Penal Code of Spain because of course it violates WP:NONENGLISH...the translation is not even close to done. Once again thanks, but if you don't mind explaining a bit more what you actually did, I'd appreciate it Psiĥedelisto (talk) 00:41, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I am wondering why you stopped my article on advanced bionics without explaining why. On the talk page for Sonova someone says that the largers divisions of Sonova (i.e, Advanced Bionics) merit their own article. Why did you eliminate it? It is notable, they are the second leading producer of cochlear implants worldwide.PlanespotterA320 (talk) 11:31, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Avicennasis. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, post here, or just let me know. Thank you, and happy editing! — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 07:03, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Category:UK MPs 2015-2020. Since you had some involvement with the Category:UK MPs 2015-2020 redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Cabayi (talk) 12:01, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 816 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Why did you move the obviously incomplete template out of draft-space? It ended up being speedy deleted under G8, I had to undelete it to get it back as I'm not done with it yet. This is particularly irritating as you have never worked on the draft at all, what you did is tantamount to vandalizing other people's work. I see you've been asked not to do such moves before.

Hi Avicennasis! Thank you for providing your input on the first AfD for Amos Lim on 18 December 2016. The article was deleted on 23 December 2016. Unfortunately, the article was recreated by a disruptive user and I am nominating the article again for its 2nd deletion. Please kindly proceed to the AfD and voice out your opinion on whether the article should be deleted, again. Thanks! DerricktanJCW (talk) 02:36, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Avicennasis. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, "Vee Technologies".
In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 05:50, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
FYI, Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as abandoned AfC submissions has been renamed to Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as abandoned drafts or AfC submissions in accordance to the change in the criteria. – Train2104 (t • c) 14:24, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi, few days ago, after discussion and consensus, article "Catholicism" was moved to "Catholicism (term)", but it seems that none of the redirects were subsequently redirected to the new title, and now the article has no redirects at all. I saw that some, or maybe all of them, were actually redirected by this bot to another article, and thus several problems were created, since some of those redirects were used as links in many articles. There are several issues here, and it would be best to correct this situation simply by redirecting all of those redirects to the new title of the original article: Catholicism (term).

I created a double redirect this evening that your bot corrected within one minute of creation. Very noble, but I had been considering redoing the middle link into a sort of disambiguation page. In the end I decided not to, but then found your bot had already been at work. I'd encourage you to have the bot wait a few minutes to make sure nothing else will happen before fixing something like this in the future. The existence of a double redirect for 5–10 minutes hurts nobody. Thanks for your consideration. StevenJ81 (talk) 04:38, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
