A number of us are currently discussing this situation on IRC. (: I believe
that the immediate concern is being addressed, and we are also discussing
ways of improving the deletion process on ENWP.

Mitar,
To get a deleted article back, ask an "Administrator" to move it to your
User_page draft
space so you can get your text/references . The text is still in the
system, just not accessible to public. There should be no
problem. You could even ask the Administrator who deleted it, via Talk page

Sorry, but that is not correct and Mitar's case is evidence of this.
Here we have an article on a cultural organization in Slovenia, which

Experiences described by a new editor are valid and meaningful even if, in
relating them, the new editor shows some lack of familiarity with Wikipedia

Gadzooks! The comments you made about friendly editors to a large community

Thank you Carl. I will make sure to note re: real world identity going

On Twitter I was pointed to:

This is amazing. I think John Oliver should make a segment "Wikipedia

Thanks James. It would be nice if novice users who prefer VE for content
pages didn't need to learn about wikimarkup for talk pages, or had a
shallower learning curve. My understanding is that some wiki communities
like Flow and others don't. For those that aren't using Flow, are there any

Yes, principal development is frozen. Like with all production software,

As a deletion I'd say we totally lost at en.wiki, we can maybe tie on other

Congratulations to Katherine for being an incredible positive force and make a
