Userpage content

Hello, I have a question about a user/userpage I've run across. I know from my multiple years of editing on enwiki, that while there's some general leeway given for users to have off-topic content on their userpage to personalize their space, that there is also a point at which "no webhosting" goes into effect, and I'm wondering if this is the case here.

User:Eajaz, with 18 edits (all Dec 2011, nothing since), has only ever edited their userpage. The 31KB page does not appear to have any focus on animals/species, but appears to be multiple religious based passages (granted I don't know the language personally and was using a translator). Since they haven't edited outside of that one page, it's giving me the impression of noncontributing webhoster.

I was ran across it when addressing some of the remaining Misnested tag errors here on Species and didn't want to invest the time in fixing these syntax issues if the page was running afoul of webhosting, since pages with RtoL languages are harder to fix in a LtoR environment than LtoR languages are. Wondered your take on this. Thanks, Zinnober9 (talk) 16:01, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

@Zinnober9: I've deleted the user page since it contained links to several external pages containing spam, including links to one web page that is hosting malware. The user hasn't made any edits to any of the other Wikimedia projects: Eajaz (talk • contribs • block log • all projects)

AutoWikiBrowser checkpage

Hi Andy. I saw that you recently added yourself to the user list on Wikispecies:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage. That checkpage is outdated and not actually used anymore. Hence, I took the liberty to add your user name to the current one as well, i.e. Wikispecies:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON. Not that it really matters: I think that all administrator accounts are automatically approved for using the AWB software, even without registration.

It was an attempt to resolve (or at least test) this issue. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:54, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Deletion of reference to Near & Thacker (2024)

Hello,

I don't understand why you completely deleted my addition of the Near and Thacker reference (2024 (revision 10496006, Feb. 19 2025 on the Thomas J. Near page). I admit that I may not have included it correctly (it was my first edition) but this reference is undoubtedly the most important in Near's bibliography and it would probably have been more useful to correct it so that it appears correctly in the list, no? Or is there something I've misunderstood here?

All the best,

@Ltdm: Apologies; that was inadvertent. I have now created created Template:Near & Thacker, 2024 and used that in its stead. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:30, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

@Ltdm and Andy Mabbett. Thank you both. I've created the Christine E. Thacker author page, for the sake of completeness.
