Beggary in Ghana

To editors Masssly and Enock4seth: If you are confident that you can provide sufficient content and scope to justify a standalone article (for instance, is beggary unique in Ghana in some way?), then go ahead, but please integrate the resulting article into the encyclopedia with incoming links and categories. However, please use your best judgement before creating the standalone article; is the topic really sufficiently distinct, and is there really enough to say about it that can't be said about beggary in general? If the answer is no, a merge-by-discussion may happen later anyway. —Swpb^talk 16:32, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well said!—Sadat (Masssly)❤Talk☮C☺Email☯ 12:43, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please help wikipedia to fix the above article references. Thanks in anticipation! Wikic¤l¤gy^t@lk to M£ 11:22, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol

Hi. Thank you for patrolling new pages. I noticed that you did not restore the CSD tag on Jammu Kashmir Peoples Student Organization(JKPSO) when patrolling the page. Please note that the New Page Patrol process requires the in-depth individual attention of a patroller to each new page - the process is totally unsuited for being done with automatic or semi automatic editing tools such as AWB. That's why a comprehensive Curation toolbar was developed. An essential task for New Page Patrollers is to review the article history to see if the page has previously been tagged for deletion or is a recreation of a previously deleted page. Further tasks for patrollers are described at WP:NPP. If you need any help or advice don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:53, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Bluff Harbour

Re this change - the correct spelling in New Zealand English is sub-antarctic or subantarctic. It is never sub-Antarctic. Grutness...wha? 07:30, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
