Approving my bot
Hi, I recently posted a new bot function request here. All it does is add constituency numbers for Indian state assembly constituencies. I was wondering whether you, as a BAG editor, could provide your feedback. Thanks. C1MM (talk) 16:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- If someone doesn't get to it before me, I will likely do so. Primefac (talk) 16:09, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! C1MM (talk) 16:19, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I know you recently commented on multiple bot approval requests. Would you also be willing to comment on mine? C1MM (talk) 16:45, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- At some point, yes. Primefac (talk) 20:49, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Broken template doc transclusion
The page {{AfC submission/draftsubmit}} seems to me to have a broken transclusion, and the text contains your name. That said, the doc page itself is essentially empty. The code is too dense for me to reliably figure out the problem.
I'm a fairly experienced editor, and I'm happy with the completeness of the draft, so I think I'll (try to) move it now anyway. David Brooks (talk) 18:04, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- It is not broken, though it is a subst-only template; I'll update the documentation to make that more obvious. Primefac (talk) 20:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi! You seem to be around. Mind having an eye on this given the Moore account's open unblock request? I blocked that account so don't necessarily want to duck block, although UPE is obvious. NO worries if you're not available and thanks either way Star Mississippi 23:32, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oh goody... one of my least favourite locations to try to find socks in. Same general area, no direct match but I'll probably need a 2O. Primefac (talk) 23:38, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- if you don't have the time/bandwidth, truly no worries. I can see if someone else is around later. Thanks for the eyeballs and apologies for the headache. Star Mississippi 23:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Good morning,
I'm new with Wikipedia and would like some help with the soft delete of this page. Sorry if it took months before I reached out but It took a while for me to realize that we had trouble with the page. Could you help me in understand the exact reason behind the deletion?
The following reasons were written in the talk page of the article -
As near as I can tell, this person has no great significance other than being the "first of his name", i.e. someone who has a lot of descendents. I don't even know for sure if he was a farmer, or just someone who owned land. The provided references seem to indicate that the only research done into this individual was done by his family members; any non-relations giving reference are from primary documents directly connected to the subject. I will admit that I make this AFD after taking a hatchet to the article (see Special:Permalink/1222951438 for the previous version) but there is no usable content in the older version either (most of it is editorialising, OR, or speculation).

Delete: A family biography project is not suitable for wikipedia. Interesting local history, but not meeting inclusion criteria here. Oaktree b (talk) 15:47, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
I'm writing this on behalf of a friend who did all the research about Jean Houymet and all his descendants. If the main issue is that Jean Houymet is not an important figure, we have found that many famous people are related to this Jean Houymet, the most famous one being Francis Desales Ouimet, the father of amateur golf in the USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Ouimet
Here's a list of other famous people that are descendants of this Jean Houymet André OUIMET https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Les_Patriotes_de_1837-1838/29 Antoine OUILMETTE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Ouilmette Danielle OUIMET https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danielle_Ouimet David OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ouimet Francis DeSales OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Ouimet François OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Ouimet Gédéon OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A9d%C3%A9on_Ouimet Gérard OUIMETTE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_Ouimette J. Aldéric OUIMET https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph-Ald%C3%A9ric_Ouimet J. Alphonse OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphonse_Ouimet J. Rodolphe OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph-Rodolphe_Ouimet Jean OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Ouimet Joseph-Aldric OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph-Aldric_Ouimet Karl OUIMETTE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Ouimette Léo-Ernest OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9o-Ernest_Ouimet Lise OUIMETTE-PAYETTE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lise_Payette Marie-Josée GIBEAU-OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-Jos%C3%A9e_Gilbeau-Ouimet Matt OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Ouimet Stephen OUIMET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Ouimette Steve OUIMETTE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Ouimette
I think it would be interesting to keep this Jean Houymet page and link it to all these famous people.
I do have to agree that a family biography project is not suitable for Wikipedia. If we rewrite this article in a more encyclopedic way and link it to all these famous Ouimet, would it be something accepted by Wikipedia?
Please get back to me on what's the best way to un-delete this page and modify it ton a Wikipedia worthy article. Thank you very much for the help you will give me,

- We have a phrase on Wikipedia called "notability is not inherited", which basically means that being related or otherwise connected to a notable individual does not make that original individual notable themselves (see also WP:INHERITED and WP:INVALIDBIO). You state
If the main issue is that Jean Houymet is not an important figure...
- yes, that is the main issue.I think it would be interesting to keep this Jean Houymet page
is also not a valid argument to make for keeping an article on Wikipedia. - The long and the short of it, as I said in the original nomination, is that if the only people who have done any extensive research into the individual are his family members during the course of a genealogy project, he will not meet our requirements for inclusion, no matter how many bluelinked/notable relations he has on Wikipedia. It's not about linking to other Wikipedia articles, it is about linking to reliable, independent sources that talk about the subject. Primefac (talk) 14:53, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Template problem?
I'm not sure whether or not it's caused by your edit today to Template:PH brgy table lite, but the article Liloan is suddenly filled with ParserFunction errors. I'm ignorant of template coding; could you look into the situation and determine what the problem is? Deor (talk) 14:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I haven't edited that template in a year. I also do not see any parser issues on the article you indicate. If it still shows for you, it might be a user-side error, but if it's cleared up chances are that someone fixed whatever issue popped up. Primefac (talk) 15:11, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, I clearly misread the timestamp of your edit. The article looks OK to me now, too. Deor (talk) 15:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, glad to hear it's resolved. Primefac (talk) 15:29, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Paracas Candelabra and Maria Reiche
I'm fine with your removal, frustrated that I am pretty certain that Maria Reiche studied and dated this but the only source I can access is [1] which probably isn't any good. One of these might have something [2][3] but maybe not. Doug Weller talk 12:59, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- No issues restoring it if there are sources; someone was complaining about bad intel so I figured removing anything unsourced was the best way to get quality control going forward. Primefac (talk) 14:45, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- The problem was several editors claiming it was a Hindu inscription. I see the author of the article in the World History Encyclopedia is Ana Maria Cogorno Mendoza so although I don't think it's a reliable source for everything, this article looks ok. Doug Weller talk 15:02, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Nested templates issue
Could you or another admin have a look at User:Pratikcr7 and rewrite their userpage to use the correct sockpuppet(er?) template? It's a visual mess throwing up garbage errors due to the nesting of the two templates in a non-compatible way within each other, and what little was written is rather lacking in explanation of what actually should be there. Thanks. Zinnober9 (talk) 15:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think I have fixed it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:05, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Damn, that was quick. Looks good to me. Thank you much. Zinnober9 (talk) 15:10, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Huh, surprised that lasted as long as it did. Cheers all. Primefac (talk) 15:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Edit requests
+@Anomie: fyi, the changes to {{editrequested}}, {{editrequest}} are populating the tracker tables (e.g., User:AnomieBOT/SPERTable) with a hundred-some old completed requests. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 16:10, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
