Hi. I just wanted to know the reason why you restored the page all over again. After a discussion in this talk page it would be better to blank off this page completely. Keeping the LTA page in my opinion wouldn’t even help with WP:DENY, as I might be worried that the vandalism would continue constantly if this were to happen. But in your opinion would it be better to leave the page alone or blank it completely. For me though it’s still better not to have an LTA page for this user. As if we were to have an LTA page it would get worse. kleshkreikne. T 08:06, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey there. We have those LTA pages for a reason. I imagine that reason is to educate experienced editors and vandal fighters about our regular LTAs. Not much education will be taking place if the page is blank. Are you sure it is a good idea to be messing with these pages? Do you have enough experience to be blanking these LTA pages without discussion on the talk page? A quick perusal of WT:LTA shows that the practice of blanking LTA talk pages is controversial, for example, the second comment in the section Wikipedia talk:Long-term abuse#Archives AWB run. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:15, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
So one of my fellow editors who was the one who dealt with the MRY thing decided to blank the whole thing off because of WP:DENY. You should take a look at WP:LTA/MRY to see why he blanked it on purpose. For me though I think it might’ve been guaranteed, but it didn’t work. Every LTA is different. You should leave a message on the one who blanked the whole LTA page as to why it’s not worth it. I’m not trying to be mean to the vandal but I just wanted to prevent additional disruption from taking place, so I had to blank it. kleshkreikne. T 08:45, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Hard to believe you've only been editing for three weeks. Most editors don't even know about LTA pages. Liz Read! Talk! 20:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Maybe they were inspired by this video (overview of LTAs on WP) to join? Aza24 (talk) 02:54, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

MMS

Hello NL, hope you're feeling okay. Could you please change the content model of this page Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria/MMS list to enable mass message sender-ish list? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 00:20, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

I actually would love to take User:Celestina007/Mailinglist/WP NIGERIA (a list compiled by a very proficient user who later left), to this page I mentioned above, don't know if it makes sense to just move it there, or better, change the content model of this one to Mass message delivery list. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 00:28, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey @Vanderwaalforces. I don't think we should move it from out of someone's userspace without permission. I'll change the content model and copy paste the contents for you. That should do the trick I think :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:08, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Great! I see you’ve done it. Thank you so much. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 06:01, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

NPP Newsletter

Hello Novem, I hope you are doing well. I'm sorry to bother you with this message, but I just wanted to ask if you had a chance to review the newsletter draft. If not, there's no rush; I simply wanted to send a gentle reminder. Feel free to ignore this message. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:33, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I made some edits just now. Can you check with me in a couple days for a final approval? That'll give time for another round of polishing. –Novem Linguae (talk) 17:04, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Sure. It looks great after your edits. Thanks for polishing it up. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:09, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
The NPP newsletter has been sent successfully. Could you please merge this draft's edit history into Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Newsletter/Archive/34? I accidentally copy-pasted content into the archive without moving the draft. Thanks in advance! – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:59, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
I G6'd the new archive 34 and moved the draft to 34, preserving the history. Should be all fixed. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:28, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

von der Leyen

Hey there, just fyi, it's now the third (similar) IP address making the same edits to the page on Ursula von der Leyen. Not that I think they are being malicious past being outraged and not fluent in the language, but I wanted to make sure you were aware. Similar edits, by similar IPs, have been rejected at the corresponding German page as well. JackTheSecond (talk) 10:02, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Will keep this in mind. Thanks for the info. If they keep it up, may need a WP:RFPP. –Novem Linguae (talk) 10:08, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
