Upcoming film RfDs

Hey Steel, there are 19 "upcoming film" titles you nominated at the WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 December 31 page. Do you want to respond to the Keep argument, otherwise I can close them as No consensus, and you can nominate them later, like after 3 months? Jay 💬 05:46, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

@Jay: "No consensus" works. Quite frankly, my desire to dispute any "keep" argument in those discussions is nil after doing so time and time again over the years ... to a point where I don't dispute any opposing views (but also try to time the nomination for a low chance of any opposing views) unless they have absolutely nothing to do with WP:UFILM, and I know any bundled nomination of those turns into a WP:TRAINWRECK (and this why I don't do bundled nominations anymore). 3-12 months after a "keep" or "no consensus" close is traditionally when I check them again, so no quorum here. Thanks. Steel1943 (talk) 12:54, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

There were no further comments since the relist, but since the time of the above conversation, Tavix has voted Delete on all. So I'll abstain. Jay 💬 20:16, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

retirement

I noticed I haven't seen you around much and just read the retirement notice on your user page. I hope you are well and that you enjoy the time away. If it suits you and you ever jump back in, it will be a welcome routine return. I've learned a lot from you and appreciate your contributions here. Cheers —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 21:35, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, Steel is a pillar of RfD, and will be missed. See you after 5 years once you are sorted! Jay 💬 08:16, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

@Myceteae and Jay: Thank you for your kind words! Figured I'd give you both a response since I was here responding to a notification and ... wow, I forgot how time-consuming it can be just to perform like six or seven edits that involve reverts. (It's crazy to be so conscious of time when you have so little of it!) Steel1943 (talk) 11:42, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

It really is a time suck! Take good care of yourself :) —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 13:19, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

It is, and I'm trying to limit myself too, to few edits a day, and only once a day. But Steel I see is among almost the top 200 all-time contributors to enwiki (~260,000 edits), and the withdrawl must be a big lifestyle change. Jay 💬 05:20, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas

You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:36, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

fyi

For whatever reason, User:MadbesWiki emailed me Steel1943 Already Retired From Wikipedia!. Gonnym (talk) 06:18, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Can't say I'm surprised. I have had some weird things happen to me over the years, such as someone creating User:Steel1943 Zweite and some random vandalism caused on my main page that resulted in me requesting my main user page be protected. Steel1943 (talk) 06:07, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

Your closure

Heya, just to clarify, when you said default to keep, did you mean default to remove the redirect or default to keep the redirect? I'm assuming it's the latter, since you redirected Wikipedia:Guide to deletion to the proposed target right after closing the discussion, but I just wanted to make sure with you. FaviFake (talk) 10:15, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

@FaviFake: A "no consensus" close means a new discussion can happen for it at anytime. In such a case, unless there is strong need for a WP:BARTENDER-ish close (basically, the status quo has to change), nothing changes in a "no consensus" result (which makes it look like a "keep", but is not actually a "keep" close since a "no consensus" close allows new discussion to happen almost immediately if need be ... which I did not see any further discussion benefitting that specific discussion.) Steel1943 (talk) 10:32, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Wait, I "redirected Wikipedia:Guide to deletion to the proposed target"? Checking... Steel1943 (talk) 10:35, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

@FaviFake: Long story short, I reverted my close. Steel1943 (talk) 10:51, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Unfamiliar with Wikipedia contributions and noticed you made the last edit to the only page that i can find that seems relevant to what i saw

i’m not sure if you are the best person for this or not i don’t typically use Wikipedia for contributing or discussion. I had seen your name under last edit made for the Wikipedia page for industrial snow and i had witnessed a very strange weather occurrence on 7/3/26 at my place of work.

  I work in a wholesale food warehouse. The area i work in was experiencing a heatwave that is stillongoing on the east coast of the United States.
 The warehouse i work in has an issue with moisture getting into the ceiling which leaks out when it gets particularly hot outside. This manifests with leaks in refrigerated and frozen areas where water can turn into ice.

The primary exit of the freezer leads into a refrigerated area which is set to stay at 39 degrees Fahrenheit. This refrigerated section exits out into the ambient section of the building which is essentially close to the same temperature that the local area is experiencing. In this case at about 1:00am that meant the area was incredibly hot and humid.

 The mechanical door that exits from the refrigeration to the ambient area had temporarily broken down and was stuck open. As a temporary fix until the door could be manually closed, the aforementioned door that leads into the freezer was kept open to offset the temperature change. Due to the humidity in the building and the temperature change this lead to the refrigerated and frozen areas to develop intense fog reminiscent of a cloud.

 with this combination of factors i witnessed the formation of snow crystals indoors at the entrance to the freezer that seemed to be forming near the fans that cool the area. It seemed like a bit of a rare phenomenon and i could not find a listed example of this exact situation occurring but the industrial snow page seemed similar but almost a reversal of what i witnessed. 

 i apologize as i am not well informed on any scientifically related subject nor am i informed on the process of Wikipedia contributions. If you could do something useful with this information or point me in a direction that would be greatly appreciated. ~2026-38109-01 (talk) 12:32, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
