Welcome messages[edit]
You seem to be back at spamming hundreds of editors with Welcome messages. Is there any particular reason for this? You have received warnings in the past for such behaviour, and I want to make sure you're not headed back down that road again. (please do not ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 09:48, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
Assessing files[edit]
We don't usually assess files for the Ireland WikiProject as there is no actual classification for them. All it does not add a file classification which is obvious by the "File" prefix. As you see out of almost 100,000 pages only 163 have been assessed but their function is basically of almost no use. I personally never bother as I don't see any point in it. Thanks ww2censor (talk) 10:40, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- oh, my mistake! i was not aware but thanks for letting me know. i'll avoid adding image files' talk pages to WikiProject Ireland.--🐦DrWho42👻 10:42, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
The article Can I Pet Your Dog? has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Banner shells[edit]
Hi there, thank you for your contributions. Please could I ask why you're setting collapsed=yes when adding banner shells, e.g. Draft talk:Azriel Dalman? Especially when there is nothing else on the talk pages, and the default is "no" for that parameter. Thank you. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:00, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- I was just about to ask this, but I see @Kj cheetham has beaten me to it. My view is that it is only worth considering the addition of
collapsed=yesif there are a number of other banners on the page, and/or if the page is within the scope of a very large number of WikiProjects; and not by default.Also, if you don't mind me asking, can I just double check if these edits are being made manually or (semi-)automatically? It's just that you've made quite a large number of these edits, with a (relatively) short amount of time in between a lot of them. I also just want to make sure you're aware of WP:MEATBOT - given the large volume of edits being made, I would ask that you consider submitting a BRFA.(Also, I noticed that you've tagged categories such as Category talk:AfC submissions by date/05 December 2023 with {{WikiProject Articles for creation}} -- I'm not a member of that project, but - by my understanding - that template is for pages which have passed AfC review, and the correct template to use here is {{WikiProject Articles for creation (admin)}}.)All the best, —a smart kitten[meow] 17:35, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Aw yeah! My bad. It was copied from a previous talk page but i'll omit it from now on. the edits are done manually so i apologise for the mistakes!-🐦DrWho42👻 21:47, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- DoctorWho42 also, if you're interested in WikiProject tagging, are you aware of the WP:RATER tool? Plus for your awareness, as part of the WP:PIQA implemention there are a couple of bots running which I believe includes added a banner shell template to all article talk pages which don't already have one. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:11, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol[edit]
Hello DoctorWho42!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!
