Eye Opener

Hey I want to say thanks, I came across your essay, and just the other day I had started to nominate things for speedy deletion. Now I realize the potential damage and will research an article further / tag for obvious attack/vandal pages. Seriously great essay . Thanks SparksBoy (talk)

This article seems in a couple of places to conflate administrators with editors who are experienced with writing content. I don't think that's a very widespread view on enwiki - especially at requests for adminship! - so I'm going to remove it. Still, feel free to discuss.

Should we add something on F9/dated speedy deletion for files?

I have seen many people (yes, I am guilty of this) over zealously apply F9 and dated speedy deletion to files that they think are copyvios. — MATRIX! (a good person!)_{[citation unneeded]} 17:01, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

CSD -> speedy deleter

Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A long time ago, CSD'er (a speedy deleter) was changed to CSD (the actual criteria) in the first paragraph. This makes this sentence really confusing for a new reader:

"The problem is that a careless, hasty, or overzealous CSD can be much worse than a common vandal."

Can we just change CSD to speedy deleter? Celjski Grad (talk) 16:41, 28 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
