Hello

Hello, I knew the JackSucksAtLife page would be nominated for RfD from the beginning, so I have decided to create 3 "[COUNTRY] in the Eurovision Song Contest" articles in 3 days.

1st day - https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest
2nd day - https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest
3rd day - https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijan_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest

Mind checking the Sea Cadet Page/Article?

Hello! @Barras, all issues have been addressed in the maintenance tag I request that you kindly review my contribution and decide whether or not it is sufficient for the tags removal. If you feel like talking to me on my talk page please go to my talkpage on the English Wikipedia, as it is more efficient. Tokeamour (talk) 19:08, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Oh, and @Barras, for the article mentioned, please click here. Tokeamour (talk) 19:10, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi there. I removed the dead end tag, however the article still is orphaned. -Barras talk 19:11, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

@Barras I will address it immediately then, anything else otherwise? Tokeamour (talk) 19:13, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Nope :) Well, you could make the article GA status here too, if you want. I guess no one would complain ;) -Barras talk 19:16, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, once those tags are managed @Barras I guess I got some work to do ;) Tokeamour (talk) 19:19, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

@Barras, should be all set just confirm. thanks! Tokeamour (talk) 20:18, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

The newly translated article found in my contributions, does need to be tagged, I'm not the expert so if you could put tags on it please do. Tokeamour (talk) 20:20, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Can you review my references?

@Barras, I need a second POV for the article so you mind taking a look on how it is starting to take shape? Also what the proper infobox as I don't know if it's different than the English wikipedia thanks (if you want to put it in before me you could as well) ! Article: United States Navy Sea Cadet Corps Tokeamour (talk) 02:09, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

The article looks quite good, nothing to complain about. As for the infobox, you can just copy the one from enwiki, we use the same ones here. -Barras talk 11:12, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

Well then I will leave you alone thanks for checking! Tokeamour (talk) 14:53, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

Your're welcome. If you need any further help, let me know. :) -Barras talk 14:59, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

@Barras will do! Tokeamour (talk) 18:29, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

Can you check this for me?

On Alexey Rykov, I believe the first sentence contains too much, can you please check this and help to fix it? ~2025-60302-6 (talk) 04:31, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

There's just a lot of info in the brackets. The sentence should be ok. -Barras talk 08:09, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

Notice

Hello. This message is being sent to tell you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Widespread misuse of A4". Thank you. --Ferien (talk | join TBA!) 22:55, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, was away the last days, will shortly look at it. -Barras talk 13:13, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

BarrasBot

Hi dude! I was wondering if BarrasBot could wait 15 minutes before clearing VIP entries that get a local block? I like to inform and thank the reporting user and often find the bot has cleared the report within seconds of the block. What do you think? Regards, fr33kman 17:37, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi there. Sorry for the delay in replying. I was on a spontaneous short trip. Technically, I can change that easily. However, "we" decided that this isn't needed or useful after reviewing the past months within the edit history of VIP. There was like no case where someone posted an actual reply after blocking an account. Usually, the page was just cleared and that's why I set up the bot this way. But I'm certainly open to change this if needed :) Regards, -Barras talk 10:58, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Question

Hi @Barras, thank you for your contributions on Simple English Wikipedia. By the way, why did you leave English Wikipedia? You used to edit a lot there but then you suddenly left and came here. Thanks, Rafael (He, him) • talk • guestbook • projects 03:53, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I was actually already an admin here before I did some anti-vandal work over there... So I actually came over to enwiki from here. -Barras talk 11:20, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

@Barras cool! Rafael (He, him) • talk • guestbook • projects 15:12, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Removing a page under false pretenses

This user has possibly removed the page Ashitha Revolt (1843) under false pretenses, claiming it contained AI-generated content when it did not.

The page contained grammatical errors and spelling issues, something that A.I would not generate. However, the page was possibly removed for Illegitimate reasons, and shouldn’t have been removed regardless. I would like to know how you came across the conclusion that the page contained A.I. (please note that I’m not fully aware of the situation, and I’m not accusing the user of anything) Etcnoel1 (talk) 22:11, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello. The page has been tagged for deletion with the reason that it has been created by AI. Another person endorsed the deletion and I deleted the page then. You may want to request a deletion review. -Barras talk 17:44, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Okay.. but I’m pretty sure you can’t just delete the page because one claimed that it contain A.I? Etcnoel1 (talk) 17:48, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

We can. Especially when two other admins agreed on that conclusion. See WP:LLM. -Barras talk 17:49, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

But under what basis have you concluded that it’s A.I, still. Etcnoel1 (talk) 18:00, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

I didn't conclude anything. I deleted upon the request of two other admins endorsing on the fact it's been AI-written. As said, feel free to request a deletion review. -Barras talk 10:44, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for the additional information. Etcnoel1 (talk) 23:44, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Bot testing on my newsletter archive

I don't mind. :) -- Auntof6 (talk) 11:18, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

That's good :D I think it works now as supposed. If not I will come back to your newsletter pages as testing area ;-) -Barras talk 11:20, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Archiver

It looks like you removed the archive templates from blocked users' talk pages. However User talk:Cyber.Eyes.2005 is still getting messages, so her talk page will get far too long if it isn't archived. ~2025-32215-20 (talk) 17:03, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

I just removed them from the newsletter. Thanks for the info. -Barras talk 18:40, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
