Removal of worldcat id was too rough?
Dear Plasticspork,
Thank you for your interest for the defunct {{Worldcat id}} template, which authenticated bibliographies, etc., by referring to Worldcat by OCLC (Online Computer Library Center).
Sporkbot removed the reference to Worldcat altogether, where a simple replacement by a reference to Worldcat without LCCN would have been more appropriate, leaving at least a reference?
For instance,
https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Douglas_Rimmer&diff=1152161602&oldid=1138168869
replaced
<ref>{{worldcat id|lccn-n81038728}}</ref> by (nothing at all), instead of by something like <ref>{{Cite web url=Worldcat.org |website=search.Worldcat.org |access-date=28 April 2023 |title=Search}}</ref>. Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 15:25, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- The consensus was that "worldcat id" is of dubious quality, lack of sources, so continuing to use it as a source seems incorrect to me. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ 13:57, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
TfD thread still open
Hey there – how are you? Just reaching out regarding this TfD discussion, which is still open and hasn't been edited by anyone other than me since September 19 – the other threads for that date are closed and wasn't sure why this one was being kept open, that's all, so thought I'd reach out in the hope of getting this one resolved so that we can continue editing without having a bunch of ‹See Tfd›s everywhere, etc.; thanks. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 02:41, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like that discussion has been closed. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ 13:56, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Basketball navigation templates
Hey. An IP is creating a bunch of navigational templates that you deleted because of a TfD discussion (example: Draft:Template:1995–96 Toronto Raptors, among others). I was wondering if you (or any of your talk page watchers!) knows of any change of consensus that would allow the templates to exist. 
Thank you in advance! I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 04:44, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- There has been no change in consensus as far as I know. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ 13:56, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Second thought - Libellous or standard Vandalism?
Hi Plastik. ‘Recently active admins’ says you’re around?
What do you make of this? Seems like garden variety vandalism to me, but cooould be RevDel territory.
Cheers. MM (Give me info.) 15:22, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- MM, RevDel is pretty easy, so I did that. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ 15:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
