Draftification of Philip Chronican

Hello Ratnahastin. Just letting you know as a courtesy, I have undone your draftification the article Philip Chronican because I believe it meets WP:GNG. If you disagree, feel free to discuss or nominate for AfD. — GMH Melbourne (talk) 04:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Templating the regulars

This is not how Deletion Review normally works, and please don't send messages like this to good-faith contributors "warning" them about not assuming good faith at that venue. I have reverted your template addition to Robert's talk page. Regards, Daniel (talk) 05:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel: You can read WP:TTR. You are not allowed to remove people's comment from talk pages outside your own unless those messages are outright offensive but that was not a case here. I would further note that you actually misused WP:ROLLBACK (see WP:ROLLBACKUSE) by reverting my message. Ratnahastin (talk) 05:51, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

If you have a concern with Robert's post, have the decency to write him a personalised message expressing your concerns. He is a DRV regular who is very well respected and has been on the project for nearly two decades. A drive-by templating of him with an accusation of not assuming good faith is not on. Daniel (talk) 05:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

You have already said it and I have addressed why I used a template. However, this reply of yours does not address the concerns I have raised about your own actions. Ratnahastin (talk) 06:02, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

I will rollback my rollback and remove the message manually. I stand by my removal of the templating of a regular in this situation, especially considering this overlaps the fringes of a contentious topic. I repeat my urging for you to write a custom message if you still wish to have a conversation with Robert about any issues with his post at DRV (which I do not see any assumptions of bad faith within). If you have an ongoing issue with my removal of your templating of a regular in this situation, please feel free to escalate it to the administrators' noticeboard or any other venue you see fit. Daniel (talk) 06:22, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

I will write a manual message once you have undid your removal and it will be quick.

As for taking you to WP:AN or elsewhere, I won't do that because you have been collaborative even in this discussion so far. Ratnahastin (talk) 06:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

SPI

Please do not ping individual checkusers, clerks or admins to SPI cases, unless there is an urgent and specific reason for doing so. The backlog is very long, and we are volunteers just the same as you are - pinging us to deal with a case you have filed purely based on the amount of time since you filed it is not appropriate. If there is a particular urgency to the case that means that it really must be looked at immediately a ping may in some cases be appropriate, but you would really need to set out what the need for immediate action is.

No problem. Thanks. Ratnahastin (talk) 08:31, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
