DYK for Oman at the 2016 Summer Olympics

On 23 July 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Oman at the 2016 Summer Olympics, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Barakat Al-Harthi missed his layover and lost some of his sports equipment before competing for Oman at the 2016 Summer Olympics? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Oman at the 2016 Summer Olympics. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Oman at the 2016 Summer Olympics), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you

Thank you so much for the barnstar! I was just getting ready to thank you on Discord for the thank you. I had no idea that CCI even existed until this year. Scorpions13256 (talk) 23:17, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Also, let's try getting the CCI done as soon as possible. Scorpions13256 (talk) 23:19, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

@Scorpions13256: You're welcome for the barnstar! Remember, there's over 200 cases to pick from ;) But yeah, hopefully that oldest case is done soon. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:22, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

GAN Review

Hi MrLinkinPark333: I hope this note finds you well. I saw that you recently quickfailed the English interjections article and it has since been re-nominated. I am relatively new to GAN's so I wanted to ask whether the same reviewer usually completes the second review. I was going to add my name but wanted to make sure I was following proper etiquette and not stepping on your toes in doing so. Thanks in advance for any guidance! Kind regards, PinkElixir (talk) 03:28, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

@PinkElixir: Hello there. You can review almost any nomination by other users. An exception per Misplaced Pages:Reviewing good articles is that you can not review articles you've majorly contributed to. There isnt a specific rule about who can review renominations of past failed GANs. Feel free to review English interjections if you are interested. Thank you for asking :) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 10:53, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

@MrLinkinPark333: Thanks very much for the info! Kind regards, PinkElixir (talk) 19:49, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Query

Hello, MrLinkinPark333,

I'm just curious, how do you stumble upon these user pages for editors who have been inactive for years that you tag for deletion? There must be millions and millions of user pages, it's odd that you come across so many promotional ones, just by accident. Thanks. Liz 02:25, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

@Liz: Hi there! I go through Category:Stale userspace drafts and see if theres ones that either need speedy deletion, histmerge or blank & redirect to existing mainspace articles. For the speedy ones, I look for ones that are easier to determine like self promo and Notwebhost. Other times, I stumble across hoaxes, copyvios and attack pages in this category as well. Thank you for asking :) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 17:01, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

I came to ask you about these old hoax articles and found I already asked and you answered! Going through Category:Stale userspace drafts doesn't sound like the most exciting project but I'm glad someone is looking at these neglected pages and trying to figure what to do with them. With 36,023 pages, it's a huge job! Liz 02:17, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

@Liz: Yeah. I'm mainly trying to get the backlog removed. I hope that other users do go through this category, but I haven't found anyone who is working on it. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:20, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Regarding recent hoaxes you found, see this discussion from ANI in 2018 that involves some of the same accounts I see in the page histories of the user pages you tagged. Crazy that we are still cleaning up from a three year old attempt to create fake articles about TV shows & schools. Liz 21:40, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

@Liz: Wow! I only found them as I searched specifically in Stale userspace drafts for Emmy Awards. I happened to look at the page history and found multiple users in the same draft. It's unfortunate that this has been going on for years :/ Thank you for letting me know! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:42, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

RE: Your G10

I think you have fundamentally misinterpreted G10 on that old userbox of mine (and judgements like that really should be made at MFD) However, I do not agree with the sentiment anymore and will CSD it according to G7. Etzedek24 03:07, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

@Etzedek24: Hello! To me, the wording seem very negative and not appropriate for a template, so that's why I thought a speedy G10 was the best option. Thank you for leaving an explanation as to why you felt it was not the case :) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

I see that point, and to be fair I made it when I was a very new user without knowledge of the various policies. But something like that (which could come down to someone's opinion about the tone) is best left to MFD, in my opinion. Etzedek24 03:20, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

@Etzedek24: I get what you mean about opinions changing. In regards to tone of templates, think you're right it's better to let MFD decide. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:18, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
