Speedy deletion nomination of Thank Goodness You're Here!

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Thank Goodness You're Here! requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Unexplained reversion against the manual of style

Hi there. You recently reverted this edit of mine, but did not provide any explanation. As I mentioned in my edit summary we cannot use small fonts in infoboxes and it is against the MOS, specifically MOS:SMALL and MOS:SMALLFONT. Can you explain why you reverted this edit? Canterbury Tail talk 17:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of that part of the MOS to be honest. The way I read it is that smalltext can be used if done so sparingly… except in infoboxes. Not really a fan of this guideline as I think it just encourages more text being shoved into the inboxes than necessary. I'll avoid it from now on. –DMartin 01:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the guideline results in less text, because the text takes up more room. So you need to make better choices about what goes into infoboxes. However all that being said, this is an accessibility thing. Infoboxes already have smaller text, and using small would make it smaller again.

Editor experience invitation

Hi Dmartin969 :) I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 16:13, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have some question for you

Would you please Move Draft: Draft:Khadija Omar to MainSpace. It's ready to moving! 77.77.219.225 (talk) 07:22, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you submitted it through Articles For Creation. I'm not a part of that project so I can't approve it, but I'm sure they'll get to it soon. It looks like a good article, but I recommend you add some inline references to the "background" section. Good work and happy editing! –DMartin –DMartin 07:29, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also if you were to create an account(which I highly recommend), and become an autoconfirmed user you'll be able to move them yourself without having to go though AfC. –DMartin 07:33, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
