Regarding page reviewer
Thank you to everyone who recommended I try out the New Page Reviewer right, however, I have opted not to make it permanent nor do I intend on returning to it for as long as this message is up. New page reviewing doesn't seem to make sense to me given all I've ever used it for (mostly) was page reviewing redirects following bad article attempts. Even that part of Wikipedia has given me a small amount of stress, and I've had to back away from disputes to avoid making that stress worse.
In short, it doesn't make sense to me to keep a user right if I know I'm not going to use it as frequently, especially given I might leave Wikipedia within the next few years. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:44, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi. I was coming here to leave a message to you regarding NPP, and saw this. Too bad, we could use quality folks over there, but I definitely understand about the stress. Thanks for all you do. Onel5969 TT me 15:21, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Regarding the Waco Convention Center
Hi there. I just saw your message on my talk page and I wanted to bring up one thing regarding the removal of the redirect. There was no mention of the convention center in any of the page that the Waco Convention Center page was redirected to at all. Unknownuser45266 (talk) 14:37, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Unknownuser45266: Still, don't blank redirects. The same applies for Grand Rapids Comic Con; please take such redirects for discussion at WP:RFD or write up an article about these subjects if you think they're notable. Jalen Barks (Woof) 15:10, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Office vs Individual
Hi Jalen - thanks for the guidance and apologies if I errantly deleted information. I was arttempting to address what seemed to me to be a distinction between a specific person (well, job) of Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Experimentation, which is focused on the person who occupied that role over the years, and the Office itself, in terms of what it does, notable accomplishments, etc. At present the "Office of..." page looks to redirect to the "role of..." page, and perhaps in that is how I goofed up the existing content. Is it possible to present the data on the office without damaging the data on the person? Thank you! Turransky2399 (talk) 00:01, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
