Hello,
I noticed you graded the page I made on open knot theory. This is not to complain about the grade, I’m happy it didn’t rapidly deleted. I was wondering though if you had any suggestions on how the page could be improved? ProfKnots (talk) 11:16, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I actually thought that article was very good for a new article and almost rated it B-class (the highest rating I can give). I’d be very surprised if it got deleted. I think mostly the issue I have is with the lead; ideally the first sentence would define open knot theory rather than just giving context (I’m aware that’s difficult and I personally have no idea how to do it). Other than that, there are only minor style issues (references should go after commas and full stops, and there shouldn’t be a space before the reference), and a few claims that don’t have sources yet (apart from the lead, citations for any claim should go at the latest at the end of the paragraph, so a paragraph ending without a reference suggests a problem). lp0 on fire () 11:45, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Some of those are quite actionable. Sometimes it’s hard to know what needs a citation and what can be treated as common knowledge^{[citation needed]}. ProfKnots (talk) 15:03, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! It is indeed hard to tell sometimes, and editors don’t always agree (compare for example WP:BLUESKY and WP:POPE), but it’s unlikely to harm an article to add citations for claims. Having many citations for one claim risks WP:CITEKILL, but on the whole you can probably manage by just citing everything. As for what’s considered common knowledge that doesn’t need citing, xkcd’s view is likely to be helpful. Citations are required by the end of the paragraph unless a claim is common knowledge, which most of graph theory probably isn’t.^{[citation needed]} lp0 on fire () 15:11, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lp0, I’m trying to add Broken Money as a published book for Lyn Alden, what is the correct process & formatting to do so?
I’ve included the ISBM number, do you also want a reference source to a publisher or the author’s announcement:
https://www.lynalden.com/broken-money/
Please let me know what details I’m missing, thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2025-33615-87 (talk) 17:22, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve replied on your talk page. In future, it’s better not to duplicate discussions; if you feel you need to send a message here to get my attention, it should just be “please see my talk page”, rather than copying out the link in full. lp0 on fire () 19:02, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, lp0 on fire,

I was reviewing upcoming articles that had been tagged for Proposed Deletion (PRODs) and saw that you had tagged 26 over a period of 10 minutes! Please do not ever do that again. By cutting and pasting a deletion nomination, whether for CSD, PROD, or AFD/RFD/CFD/etc., you can post these requests in a few seconds or minutes but it takes much longer for other editors and admins to review each one separately and make sure that it is a valid nomination. For some AFDs, some editors can spend a few hours looking for additional sources when it just took 5 minutes for the deletion nominator to post the request.

Please pace yourself. Consider nominating between 1-5 articles/day instead of dozens. This is much more considerate to your fellow editors. I see you are a fairly new editor, so this is just another lesson to learn as you gain more experience here. Good luck with your editing. If you have questions about Wikipedia’s deletion processes or PROD, do not hesitate to bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:18, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Really sorry about that. I realised shortly after I did it that it was probably unwise, but since they were all unsourced BLPs whose notability I seriously doubted I decided to leave the proposals in place. Of course it had to be the day after I did that that I found out there was a whole ArbCom case about someone nominating so many articles for deletion that it was considered disruptive. lp0 on fire () 07:35, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

“I seriously doubted notability” is not evidence-based. Nominate for deletion only after you have done your research and looked for sources per WP:BEFORE and consider alternatives to deletion per WP:ATD. You can also read about all the arguments to avoid at WP:ATA. Cielquiparle (talk) 07:24, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That’s true. It was a blatant and reckless violation of WP:BEFORE#D4, for which I’m very sorry. Would you recommend I withdraw the prods? I worry that would also create extra work for people, since each one would then have to go through AfD if someone else wants to delete one, which in many cases will probably happen. lp0 on fire () 07:59, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You could go through them one by one, search thoroughly for coverage, and add citations to the articles. Cielquiparle (talk) 21:55, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I got a “Welcome!” message from you in my talk page although I have been making edits for some time now. It’s probably because I recently changed my username. It’s not an issue at all, I’m just informing you in case you are interested. I assume there some automatic method of posting these messages and maybe you’d like to update it. But it’s not really a big problem since username changes are not very common. μινγκ κε μινγκ / ming ke ming (talk) 13:27, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw a good edit and sent you a welcome because I saw you had no talk page. It isn’t automated; I just didn’t bother to check for username changes. Thanks for informing me though; I hadn’t considered that that could happen. lp0 on fire () 14:18, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

are you actually on fire ? TFFA-4460 (talk) 23:22, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, I’m just named after lp0 on fire, an error message. lp0 on fire () 07:33, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

what error? TFFA-4460 (talk) 09:54, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It’s an error in Linux. You can read more at lp0 on fire. lp0 on fire () 10:56, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delusional disapproval of official name of the turkish province, Tunceli. Can you tell me why did you make that change which i am saying again OFFICIAL? Stephanospharon (talk) 14:12, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
