Speedy deletion backlog
Any administrator to assist me by deleting some of my pages at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. These were botched moves, if they are not deleted in time I may not be able to continue with my books. Regards --Synoman Barris (discuss • contribs) 11:08, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy-requests processed, mostly. However, I'm unclear on why they would impede continuing with your books; what impediment do you have in mind, there? --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 14:04, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The botched move on culture of Zimbabwe to Culture of Botswana then back again, created a redirect which made it impossible to fix my bad move. I am currently following a a time table I made for myself on progress with this book hence I have to finish a task before going to another, that was also my motivation for the proposal at WB:RFC --Synoman Barris (discuss • contribs) 14:10, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Need to move over existing page
Need to move Transwiki:First word/doc over Template:First word/doc which I inadvertently created with incorrect content. Apologies. Thankyou. Bigdelboy (discuss • contribs) 02:27, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Should be done now. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 05:21, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

 * CommentThis IP should be blocked from editing French/Vocabulary/Animals, since that is the only page this IP vandalizes . Cheers
 * Blocked them for a while. Some people might block that IP from editing that page.  Some might semi-protect that particular page.  I usually don't do either of those, on the theories that, one, if someone is demonstrating on one page that they have an unconstructive attitude, then our objection is to the attitude rather than to its target, and two, if we semi-protect their own target, that will only make it harder to identify them when they come back in some new guise with the same unconstructive attitude. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 14:29, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
