Goodbye[edit]

I’ve worked with you on many articles and you were always a great editor to have around. Sad to see how your time on Wikipedia ended but maybe it is for the better. You left a legacy here and I hope that it is remembered positively.  Hamza Ali Shah  Talk 02:50, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A goat for you![edit]

I only just saw. I'm so sorry.

All the best[edit]

I am so sorry about this L. You are one of the best here on WikiP and in real life. Thanks for all your editing and for the things you shared with me over the years. Best wishes always. MarnetteD|Talk 22:29, 17 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Archiving[edit]

I'd like to suggest setting up automatic archiving for this page, given the large volume of AfD notices and well wishes. I would also ask that sections be archived neutrally; right now it seems that deletion notices are being archived almost immediately while personal messages, barnstars, etc are being left in place. –dlthewave ☎ 01:41, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Maybe dont 1-click archive other people's talk pages? Since you're placing things in /Archive 1 when he is actually on /Archive 61? Or maybe let people he's friends with handle this? Since we arent in the business of policing other's user talk pages? nableezy - 04:06, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Good point, I saw someone else had used OneClickArchiver here and assumed that it worked properly. I'll just do it manually in the future.
I'm not sure what you mean by letting Lugnuts' "friends" handle this or the bit about policing; it seems like a simple housekeeping matter that can be done by any editor, and I suggested automatic archiving as a way to avoid conflicts and manage page length. –dlthewave ☎ 04:56, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
There was a massive talk page previously. There's no reason to remove everything - it's been suggested that it's good manners to not leave AfD notifications and the like here here, but other than that I don't see a need to archive this for at least six months. Blue Square Thing (talk) 07:17, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I've never heard of not leaving AfD notices for banned users, I think most of us use Twinkle and don't always even notice who the article creator was or what their current standing is. Plenty of banned/retired users have very long talk pages for this reason and it doesn't seem to be an issue. My main concern is that we shouldn't be archiving AfD notices and leaving the barnstars. Archiving everything automatically would be one way to do this (six months seems fine) and simply leaving everything would be another. Pinging Dennis Brown and The Rambling Man who archived AfDs only. –dlthewave ☎ 12:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
"doesn't seem to be an issue" to whom? Have you contacted the banned users in question to see how they feel about constant barrages of messages about which they can do absolutely nothing? There are real humans behind these user names. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 12:25, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
User:Ritchie333/Don't template the retirees is applicable to this situation I think. Yes, I know Lugnuts' "retirement" was enforced but it's the same principle. It's really not that difficult to uncheck the "notify creator?" box when using Twinkle.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 12:58, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
And we can ask anyone sending lots of articles to AfD to make sure they do that. I have no problem manually archiving any that get accidentally sent here. If Lugnuts objects to us doing that then I'm sure they can make that known in some way. It seems reasonable to leave everything else for at least six months, depending on how much builds up. Blue Square Thing (talk) 13:53, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
When the whole Neelix debacle was ongoing I believe a dedicated archive page just for deletion notices was created to keep the talk page from being completely insane. That would work here as well, once these discussions are closed there's no need for notifications to linger. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:01, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So there was - eventually split into several separate archives. That would seem to be sensible as I've no doubt we'll end up with a lot of notices one way or another. Blue Square Thing (talk) 17:05, 18 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just as an aside: If deletion process notices are to be avoided, it may be prudent to place the Nobots template on this page to stop FastilyBot from doing its job. Dr. Duh 🩺 (talk) 09:08, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I was just about to suggest the same thing - I *think* that {{bots|deny=FastilyBot}} should work to stop the specific bot shouldn't it? ClueBot etc... might still be useful? Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:13, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yeah, that ought to do it – I've inserted it up above and removed the most recent notice. Dr. Duh 🩺 (talk) 09:57, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I just thought I'd mention that I have worked with editors cleaning up a lot (hundreds, maybe thousands) of Carlossuarez46's geo-stubs, mostly via PROD and some via AFD, and they do uncheck the "Notify editor" box on Twinkle when they tag the articles so that his User talk page isn't plastered with deletion notices. It works best when there are a limited number of editors addressing the problem, in Carlos' case, I think there are about a half dozen editors over past year and a half handling these stubs. If lots of editors are going to try to "clean up" Lugnuts stubs, then it will be difficult to create a standard response to them but when there are a few that understand the situation and are committed to going through large areas of stubs, it's easier to establish a reasonable practice.
I should just add that I feel strange bringing this up on Lugnuts own talk page but that's where this discussion is happening. It would be useful to move this elsewhere. Liz Read! Talk! 07:51, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Unsaved[edit]

Hello there. You at some point pointed Unsaved to a movie, The Unsaved. Would like to change this but unsure how to proceed. Would think Salvation in Christianity better, but disambiguating is an option as well. I’ll leave it to you to decide. Hyperbolick (talk) 10:24, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Hyperbolick Lugnuts is currently banned indefinitely from wikipedia so I do not think he will be able to help you. Regards Paulpat99 (talk) 10:40, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@User:Paulpat99 Seems somebody already did it. thanks for the heads up though. Hyperbolick (talk) 10:53, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Barnstar[edit]

The Original Barnstar
I hereby award this barnstar to editor Lugnuts for his unrivalled and titanic contributions to the encyclopaedia. FeydHuxtable (talk) 12:25, 9 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I found out what happened a few weeks back and still can't believe it. Sorry I never said anything for you at the case, didn't see this one coming. FeydHuxtable (talk) 12:25, 9 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deletion templates[edit]

Since so many editors are reverting deletion notifications, have you considered Category:Wikipedians who opt out of template messages for preventing semi-automated deletion notifications from appearing on this talk page? NytharT.C 11:22, 6 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Undoing a seemingly fair contribution without explanation[edit]

You "reverted" my edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Archibald_(cyclist)&diff=1079744339&oldid=1079435629) without explanation or edit summary. I can only presume that it was done due to the subject matter, Pro Vision Scotland, not existing, but "red links" to articles that don't (yet) exist do not go counter to Wikipedia's manual of style--au contraire (refer to https://wiki.alquds.edu/?query=Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#What_generally_should_be_linked). Judging by the other topics on this talk page and your contribution history, you seem to have ceased activity on Wikipedia but I was baffled enough to leave this here to give you the opportunity to explain your reasoning in case you ever come back.

Hackerman67 (talk) 13:31, 11 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hackerman67 - As an explanation, Lugnuts was sanctioned partly because he kept making essentially-null edits to "his" articles like this one just to put himself at the top as the most recent editor. FOARP (talk) 14:39, 11 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@FOARP: Cheers. I understand contributors feeling responsible for articles they've put exceptional effort into but it's unfortunate that some go as far as making counterproductive edits in the name of vanity. - Hackerman67 (talk) 15:06, 11 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Hackerman67: The page you linked, is it/will it be notable enough for an article of its own. Based on a quick google search the page would not be notable, hence why the link was removed as it would stay as a red link forever. Just my two cents to explain what Lugnuts may have thought Paulpat99 (talk) 17:17, 11 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Goodbye[edit]

It is sad to see that your time is Wikipedia ended the way it did. I am one who has benefitted from your stub articles. I wouldn't have probably bothered to add more material to Devraj Puri, Santosh Reddy, Syed Moinuddin and others if you hadn't already created stubs for them. People who consider stubs as evil may not understand it. Tintin 13:06, 25 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Per Christian Münstermann[edit]

Dear Lugnuts, I would please you to create a English Wikipedia Page for Cyclist: Per Christian Münstermann

He‘s professional cyclist and is currently racing for Saris Rouvy Sauerland Team. 5x times German Champion .

He already got a German Wikipedia page but I’m missing one in English. I would please to create a English version of:

Umran Malik[edit]

Please atleast semi protect the article Umran Malik. The athlete in article belongs to a controversial area between India and Pakistan ie Jammu and Kashmir, so many a times people intentionally edit article with wrong information like this[1]. In past, we have already seen many controversies between Indian Government & Wikipedia for ip edits on Wikipedia, like in case of Arshdeep Singh[2]. So instead of repeating mistake again, I think we should have to protect the article. Your views…. Thanks and regards Gorav Sharma‎ 💬 20:26, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

lugnuts won't be able to answer you. But he wrote articles about Olympians, mostly using online sources for info. Most articles on Wikipedia are written by people who don't personally know the subject. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 20:41, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
