Missing Cleveland girl turns 18 today
The answer to your question, why it hadn't already been deleted. Iirc there was a page with some similar name, but with some difference or other; I forget just what. This one, I had marked as notnews, and then when it had been around more than four days (several days more, when I got to it) I marked it as abandoned; that's how most unsuccessful articles get cleared. Any time from 48 hours after tagging it abandoned, supposing it was properly tagged and nothing else happens in the meantime, I could delete it; I hadn't quite gotten to that, so it was a day or more overdue to be deleted. I'd recommend, when you're tagging a page like this for deletion, that you leave in place the abandoned tag, as removing the tag removes it from the queue. In this case, I just zapped it. --Pi zero (talk) 13:59, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi Seemplez,
 * Thanks for signing up! I've set up the list page (email), as well as the list page (wiki). Normally these pages list the topics you are interested in; as they are 'any', there is only one category name: 'Developing'. The script will see it and send you a notification shortly.
 * Your first e-mail will be a list of what's currently under development in the topics of your interest. The future e-mail messages will only contain newly created submissions.
 * To unsubscribe, request deletion of these list pages, and notifications will stop.
 * In new drafts the most common things to look out for are:
 * freshness that they are about an event that happened within the last 2-3 days (ref)
 * grammar
 * the first paragraph answering the 5W and an H
 * Please let me know if there are any issues with this message delivery. It is designed to encourage the recipient's involvement in helping newcomers, but simply testing the message delivery and reporting bugs would be greatly appreciated!

Userspacing articles
Re your message telling others to request userspacing -- please note, Wikinews is not a web-host, and there needs a very good reason to not delete an article which is abandoned. •–• 11:29, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I'll remove it. Seemplez 13:44, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * You don't have to delete the comment -- I appreciate you notifying the user. However, when you do recommend userspacing, please think if there is a genuine reason to do that or not. •–•  15:55, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Links
Hi. I have noted this multiple times, the articles that you submit don't have enough wikilinks -- while I have always wanted a tool which could do that sort of thing -- suggesting what to link, but until then, could you please wikilink more often? Some of the wikilinks for South London police officer Matt Ratana shot in custody centre can be London, BST, UTC, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, North Island, Auckland Police Force, and class B drugs.•–• 16:07, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll bear that in mind. Seemplez 16:31, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Really appreciate it. •–•  16:32, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

your article
Just so's you know: I have somewhere I have to be in the physical world in a few minutes, so I was already realizing I didn't have time to complete review of your article right now. I'll be out of the game until probably at least 2200 UTC. (Fortunately, your article now mentions Monday in its lede, so it won't go stale at midnight UTC.) --Pi zero (talk) 17:57, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

I don't have access to my email at the moment, so unless the topic is of a sensitive nature, could you ask me the question here? Thanks. Seemplez 07:41, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, if you could have a look at local privs request Requests_for_permissions and Requests_for_permissions and later this month, for the ArbCom election, that would be great! •–• 07:48, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, correction, ArbCom election will be early next month; not at the end of this month. And also, each project would require at least two CUs, so make sure you comment, if needed, and vote for each candidate. •–•  07:57, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. Seemplez 08:02, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
