Lotte Reiniger and sand animationHello! I noticed you removed a reference to Lotte Reiniger's film Adventures of Prince Achmed as one of the first documented uses of sand in animation. While Reiniger primarily animated silhouette cutouts, Walter Ruttmann created background special effects with sand, clay and wax underneath her cut-outs. This is documented in a studio photograph included in “Experimental Animation” by Cecil Starr and Robert Russett (1976), the image being reprinted in the book "Fluid Frames, Experimental Animation with Sand, Clay, Paint and Pixels (2016) (Full disclosure: I wrote the book Fluid Frames). The image is not widely available on the internet but you can see it as the second image in this post https://www.instagram.com/mosmapdx/p/CmbsdhEL2Lf/?img_index=2 I will be putting this information back in but will clarify the use of sand in background effects only since I can see how it might have been misleading. whiogirl (talk) 17:29, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Sitting DuckHi, thanks for your speedy of User:Sitting duck. I've just noticed a previous speedy deletion in February 2008, on the same grounds. Could you tell me if a) I was involved in that previous speedy? and b) was there any similarity between the vandalism then and the recent vandalism? There's a very faint bell ringing that makes me wonder if there is a connexion. DuncanHill (talk) 01:50, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Deletion of wesean student federationHey I wanted to ask for a deletion review of the page Wesean student federation. I feel there has been substantial sources available from the time we first discussed its deletion. So if possible could you help me retrieve the contents of the deletion? thanks
Deletion discussion of Article Wesean Student FederationGreetings, I am reaching out regarding a situation surrounding the article in question. There was a prior disagreement over content additions, and while I eventually chose not to pursue further discussion due to its futility, the article has now been nominated for deletion without a clear or valid reason provided ( WP:AFD for deletion nomination guidelines). Previously, editors had attempted to tamper with the citations, adding unnecessary tags despite the references being verified as reliable and meeting WP:RS and WP:V standards. Additionally, there were efforts to add quality-related tags questioning the article's notability, even though it satisfied the criteria outlined under WP:GNG (General Notability Guideline). Now, in reviewing the deletion discussion, I have observed unusual activity. There appear to be newly created accounts participating in the discussion, potentially skewing the results. This raises concerns about WP:SOCK violations, as it seems plausible these accounts could be sock puppets of the same editors who previously pushed a specific point of view (contrary to WP:NPOV). I kindly request a thorough review of this matter to ensure adherence to Wikipedia's policies and prevent any misuse of the platform. Thank you for your attention.Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 18:28, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia Page Creation – Invicta Racing (FIA Formula 2)Dear CactusWriter, I am reaching out because I would like to create a new and separate page for Invicta Racing, which now operates as an independent FIA Formula 2 team following its full acquisition by Invicta Watch Group. I have attempted to create a page for Invicta Racing in the past, but it was taken down by yourself. I was wondering why it was removed and what steps I need to take to ensure that the Invicta Racing page is not flagged or taken down in the future. Below are some key details supporting the justification for Invicta Racing to have its own page. Previously known as Virtuosi Racing, the team has undergone a complete transition, with Invicta Watch Group acquiring 100% ownership and fully integrating the team into its brand portfolio. This acquisition has resulted in a distinct identity, separate leadership, and a new branding strategy. As a result, Virtuosi Racing no longer exists as a team, and Invicta Racing now operates under a new name, structure, and ownership. To ensure accurate and up-to-date information on Wikipedia, we propose creating a dedicated Invicta Racing page that reflects these significant organizational and structural changes. The transformation of the team has been well-documented by official press releases and news sources, confirming the ownership change and the new leadership team. Below are some key sources that verify this transition: Official Press Release - Invicta Watch Group Acquires 100% of Invicta Racing (March 5, 2025) This press release officially confirms the acquisition and outlines the new structure of the team. Official Team Announcement - New Leadership Structure (March 4, 2025) This article details the new leadership appointments, including James Robinson as CEO & Team Principal and Geoff Spear as Team Manager, further distinguishing Invicta Racing from its previous identity as Virtuosi Racing. Official Website – Invicta Racing www.invictaracing.com The team’s official website provides further details about its current drivers, operations, and branding under Invicta Watch Group. I am happy to provide additional references and work collaboratively to ensure the Wikipedia page meets the platform’s notability and sourcing guidelines. Please let me know how best to proceed with this request. Thank you for your time and consideration. Rytannehill17 (talk) 11:55, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

This article was deleted for being unsourced in 2013, but I've recently taken the time to fill it out. Although I'm not done, could it be moved back at this state? Nighfidelity (talk) 19:58, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
