John Morgan article edit[edit]
Dear @KylieTastic
Thank you for your recent edit on my pending article, John Morgan, 6th Baron Tredegar.
Cleaning up the references is something I have been meaning to get around to, and now it looks a lot better.
Thank you for your work!
Best Regards,

Wikipedia article on Emmeline Pankhurst[edit]
Please could you explain to me why you have deleted my photograph of the grave of Emmeline Pankhurst's two sons? It is my own photograph, and it is already posted on Wikimedia Commons. I have posted photos of my own on Wikipedia previously, and haven't had this problem. But then I am not at all technical, so maybe there is something that I'm doing wrong. Thanks! Sartzbird (talk) 16:47, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Sartzbird, you added File:Pankhurst boys' grave which if you had looked at the page after is not valid and shows just a red error. The problem is it's missing any file extension, not an uncommon mistake as many computers hide file extensions and many just don't consider them. I see now that I have dug deeper you have uploaded the image over on commons as a jpg, so File:Pankhurst boys' grave.jpg is the full name you need to use. So just remember to use the full filenames including extensions just as they are listed on commons and you should be good. Although looking at the image I'm struggling to see the value it brings to Emmeline Pankhurst? It appears to not have any markings showing so is just yet another grave that has been sadly neglected. Hope that helps clear things up, Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Rejection of my article[edit]
Hello there KylieTastic. You were my hero growing up. I appreciated everything you had done for wikipedia. The contributions you made. I wanted to be you. So imagine how I felt when you rejected my article about "Aroz Rai". I felt betrayed KylieTastic. You hurt me on a personal level. I tore my KylieTastic posters and spat on them. I need you to know how hurt I was by this KylieTastic. My article about Aroz Rai was created to document this influencer whom in which created my favourite trading card game known as "GEARS" and for you to reject the oppurtunity for others to access information about this great man? Absolutely disgraceful. I am fed up with this treatment. I am planning revenge KylieTastic. And you may wonder how will I get my revenge? Well KylieTastic. I will become rich. I will become so rich in fact I will purchase Wikipedia. After my purchase I will ban you. Yours sincerely ClassyBaxy. Classybaxy (talk) 21:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Classybaxy that was a well written humorous post, I really did appreciate the effort and it really did make me smile. Great stuff, cheers KylieTastic (talk) 22:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
Would you be able to help with this entry on a former state legislator in Illionois who served in the Illinois House? He ran into financial and legal trouble so I imagine there is ample newspaper coverage. Is he alive? FloridaArmy (talk) 02:31, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Chicago Tribune seems to indicate he died 1976, FloridaArmy. The original page should be accessible via TWL though I'm not logged in so going off the OCR transcript here. Alpha3031 (t • c) 03:04, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi FloridaArmy, I've not got much time for Wikipedia at the moment due to several real-life issues. I've clipped the article Alpha3031 noted for his death. I've watchlisted it and may have a look if I get time. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:17, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
There is a mop reserved in your name[edit]

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already! |
Maliner (talk) 15:10, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Maliner, thanks for the vote of confidence. With no GAs, FAs or DYNs a lot would disagree.... but maybe one day. Thanks again KylieTastic (talk) 18:40, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know when we should understand content creation is not actually that important. We see people maintaining those good and featured articles thereon. However, I am super in love with your passion about and on reviewing. You are not long from going, its more or less near. Have my extreme support @User:KylieTastic. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 21:08, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, 3 of the people at WP:RFX300 (myself, Tamzin, Floq) did not have a GA either. The thing people preach is about "content experience", of which, I think can easily be argued you have plenty of based on your significant work at AFC. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:13, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hey man im josh, User:SafariScribe, sounds like you two could do with a bit of writing practice: pick something and bring it up to GA level! (Haha, pick this, Draft:Aroz Rai.) KylieTastic, a GA is not a requirement; I would support without it, though I would like to see that a candidate has actual experience writing actual articles. No one needs a rollbacker; we need admins who support content creators (I mean, that's one of the many things we need admins for), so valid experience should be good enough. Drmies (talk) 19:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Not having a GA is risky, but is probably doable in your case, since I think the rest of your record is stellar. Or you could just write a GA real quick. It isn't too bad once you find a short article and a couple books. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:28, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Novem Linguae: I think this is one of the very rare cases it's hard to argue against a user's content experience, eh? As we both know, KylieTastic handles things from the back of the queue fairly often and isn't afraid to tackle the tough drafts when no one else really does. The amount of work they've done for years is ridiculous. They have experience in so many areas of content and notability, and would have a demonstrated need from what I can see. Lots of reports at UAA, at AIV, extensive CSD log, and would have a use for G6 deleting redirects. Good history of coaching users up to go along with it. All of it's related to AFC, so really, their habits wouldn't need to change, they'd just be able to handle things directly, which, from my point of view, I don't doubt they'd be good at doing. The more I think about it, the more I honestly think it makes a lot of sense for Kylie to have the toolset. Hey man im josh (talk) 23:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think you have a much better shot than you give yourself credit for. You're someone who does backlog crushing well and with kindness... we need more people like that. If you ever want to consider it, feel free to reach out. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 04:12, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- As for your lack of GAs/FAs... the way I see it, your area of expertise requires extensive knowledge that can be shown through content creation but that isn't the only way to show these skills. You also have created a good handful of articles, even if those shiny accolades aren't attached. Most of the people I've seen requiring content creation don't actually require GAs/FAs (see this essay for an example of what I mean). Evaluating drafts requires good policy knowledge and you have the temperament skills that I look for in an admin. Everything else can be learned on the job (I'm still figuring things out right now). I wouldn't reach out to someone about this if I didn't think they had a good chance of passing. I care too much about people to give them that sort of false hope or heartbreak on seeing things go south. I genuinely do think that you could run successfully in the near future, if you chose to do so. However, I understand if you don't want to and will respect whatever choice you make. I was incredibly hesitant about RfA for a really long time myself. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 04:24, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- We have admin elections in October too, if you want to try out a new system and run at the same time as other people. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:21, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

- You have an enviable experience! You work at NPP, AfC, CSD, AIV, UAA, etc, is very much valuable to me than a GA/FA. It takes a great deal of knowledge and experience to be able to handle what you're currently handling and that is what I value. Please consider the Wikipedia community and take the bold step, we need you :) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 10:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- SafariScribe, Hey man im josh, Novem Linguae, Clovermoss, Vanderwaalforces and Maliner thank you so much for the positive feedback... I've been humbled for the second time this year. I've always considered my work in this small corner of the internet was generally unnoticed, apart from the odd outlier. My thoughts on adminship has always been that while I would be happy to help mop I would get a very mixed to negative response at RfA, especially from those that dislike Draft and AfC. I may have been convinced by you all to run if I wasn't dealing with several real-life issues at the moment. You have definitely changed my thought process from never to maybe. So again, thank you all. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 12:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Obviously real life takes precedence. I wish you the best and hope that things get better (if they're the sort of issues that can get better). Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 19:42, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

TNPL Teams[edit]
Greetings from Ungal Naan 2.0.
Sir, what is the procedure to reopening those articles (Salem Spartans, Chepauk Super Gillies, Lyca Kovai Kings, IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, Siechem Madurai Panthers, Trichy Grand Cholas, Nellai Royal Kings & Dindigul Dragons)? Ungal Naan2.0 (talk) 04:25, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Ungal Naan2.0, when articles are deleted via Articles for deletion there two ways to proceed. In this case the best way to proceed would be to go to Wikipedia:Deletion review. In some case if new sources become available that clearly counter the points made in the discussion and notability can be shown then the article can be boldly un-deleted/un-redireted and updated. For articles such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Salem Spartans in 2021 that are about a historical season it is unlikely such new information will be available. Also if someone disagrees that the new sources do invalidate the discussion that may just redirect again, so this method is usually for clear cut cases and thus Wikipedia:Deletion review is a safer way to go. Hope that helps, Regards KylieTastic (talk) 09:07, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
