Jawico deletion request edit

Hi Eviolite,

I noticed you have nominated Jawico for speedy deletion, but did not post a notice on the page creator's user-talk informing them about your nomination. Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 14:43, 11 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Ottawahitech: my apologies, I use the anti-vandalism tool SWViewer and it allows deletion tagging but apparently doesn't notify the talk page. Eviolite (talk) 14:45, 11 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Ottawahitech: Actually, I cannot find it written anywhere on WQ:CSD that we are meant to notify creators of pages nominated for CSD or how to do so; am I missing something? Eviolite (talk) 14:46, 11 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
When you cannot find something on Wikiquote, the custom here is to comply with Wikipedia rules, I think. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:52, 11 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
I am not familiar with SWViewer. Is it a WQ tool? Ottawahitech (talk) 16:54, 11 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Ottawahitech: It is a tool that monitors recent changes (vandalism/spam) cross-wiki, optimized for small wikis. If you are familiar with Huggle, it is similar except can be used on many wikis at once. For creation of new pages, it allows the user to tag them for speedy deletion.

help edit

Hey um since your the only person on wikiquote I know, I wanted to ask you a question. Is a person who plays like an online game and gives like speeches in the game can I like put that in wikiquote or no? —This unsigned comment is by ProtonLong (talkcontribs) .

@ProtonLong: quite plainly, no. See Wikiquote is not a collection of your personal quotes and Wikiquote:Notability. Also, I am not very active on Wikiquote, so in the future feel free to ask questions at the village pump instead, where many more experienced people can answer questions.

Okay thank. ProtonLong (talk) 22:59, 12 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Wait a minute, if I made a book about the topic, then made the person in question become notable, then could I put it in wikiquote? ProtonLong (talk) 23:05, 12 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@ProtonLong: No. That will not at all make your topic notable; please review the links I sent you and WQ:Quotability which Ferien mentioned. Eviolite (talk) 23:12, 12 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
