Nomination of Bandito Tour for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bandito Tour is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bandito Tour (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. --woodensuperman 12:41, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Woodensuperman: Thanks for the message, but I only created the redirect as a result of closing the first AfD; you should notify User:MikeOwen, who turned that redirect into an article. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 12:48, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Interface Edit Requests - Bot Table
Hello Amorymeltzer, as an interface administrator I wanted to let you know that there are two pages you should consider watch-listing: Wikipedia:Interface administrators' noticeboard and User:AnomieBOT/IPERTable. The later is a bot-generated table of all outstanding interface edit requests that you may be able to handle. Thank you for your continuing support of Wikipedia! — xaosflux Talk 14:40, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Self-Block Request
Over the past few days, I have engaged in some WP:EW behavior, especially with Drdpw. I am requesting this sysop to WP:BLOCKME for a period of two weeks because these activities have been on pages that lead to a previous block of this user in January 2017. I am trying to be proactive in correcting behavior so I can be the best and most valuable Wikipedia user possible. A unique extenuating circumstance that may warrant granting this request may be found on the user page Sleyece under the heading "FIRST." I don't know if that is the culprit, but two weeks would give me more that enough time to make some slight dietary changes if it is. If I am denied this request, I may simply take a WikiBreak in preparation for Thanksgiving. Thank you for the consideration. -- Sleyece (talk) 20:03, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Sleyece: Can you confirm that you do in fact want this? I'm asking because

suggests you don't feel you need this. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 20:22, 2 November 2018 (UTC)- I'm sorry, I was simply implying an alternative. I am notoriously bad at keeping my hiatuses from English Wikipedia. If there is a medical issue that I need some time to address, I DO need this block because if I don't get it my behavior will get more erratic until my metabolism has time to adjust. -- Sleyece (talk) 20:28, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
Done ~ Amory (u • t • c) 20:31, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
