Disambiguation link notification for August 15Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited August 2019 Kabul bombing, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page AFT (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Afc reject, etc.Please note this tiny but very important edit. By using a "raw" speedy tag, you caused User talk:Selva2508 to appear in CAT:CSD which was not meant to happen. You did the same with User talk:91.206.0.63. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:57, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
A message from MayorgeneraljmMayorgeneraljm (talk) 17:45, 9 September 2019 (UTC) Hi! I saw you decline the page I was trying to create on wikipedia! Ok, Im new on this and I have honestly any idea of how it works and how to have it done! I just know this: The text I add is the text we used on our website which its explain and describe the Lost on You project! The media links are not build by us. Because our hard work and the importance of what we do all those magazines have talked about us. Is not the rolling stone but the person who doesn't know the magazines I mention then have quite a very small knowledge about electronic music. Lost on You ( the record label) is a project created to help children from poor countries, and since we started in january 2018 we have been donating all the income from our music sales to help children around the world. This may feel as a promotional page but isn't a promotional page! Our project deserves to have a page here cause each time you write Lost on You all you get is LP song! I will ask you please to have a search about the project to understand it and to please help us to have a page here. You are actually the second person who have said its feels like a promotional page but if you guys cant understand our purpose then I don't know what to say. Help us to spread our mission. Thank you
A message from OnefunsiteHi, thanks for taking a look at the page I tried to create: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:World_Adventure_Golf_Masters I have now edited the page and added a number of reliable sources from around the web. Hopefully the page can be accepted. Thanks! Onefunsite (talk) 21:19, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
A message from Russolini1979Hello, Waddie96! I am writing about page created by me. Draft:Ruslan Sabirly, which is declined by you. First I would like to thank you for your viewing. But, I would like to mark some points, which are no understandable to me. 1. In that page External Links (to social media accounts) deleted by some user, while in many page of celebrities like Tom Cruise has links to his social media accounts and it is ok for wikipedia community. 2. I had comment on that page: Symbol opinion vote.svg Comment: "face of... prestigious" SITH (talk) 19:45, 9 April 2019 (UTC) And deleted that phrases, and also peacock word. But now, you rejected submission: "This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject." So please, could you show me exact sentences where used peacock terms, because i really can not see them. And i need help. I want to change but i can not find the issues which is the reason of rejection. Will be glad for your help on both points. Tnank you in advance! :) Russolini1979 (talk) 12:55, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for September 14An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Royal cypher, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Royal coat of arms (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

A message from JelenaIlicViennaDear Waddie96, Regarding my article, you stated that the submission appears more like an advertisement and that there are not much reliable secondary sources. First of it, I would like to draw your attention to this articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearstream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euroclear Clearstream is the German and Luxembourg CSD, Euroclear is the Belgian CSD and OeKB CSD is the Austrian CSD. The Central Securities Depository Regulation (reference 1 in my article) says that every CSD in a country has to apply for a certification. After the approvement of each Authority (in Austria it is the Financial Market Authority (FMA)), the company can act as the CSD of the country. By the way, why did you chance the name of the article to OeKB central securities depository, as this is wrong. The name of the austrian CSD is OeKB CSD, this is a fact (see also companies register, reference 10) and cannot be changed. So my article has provable secondary facts about the company eg. the companies register(reference 10), it has the prove from the Austrian Financial Authority that it can act as an CSD (reference 8), it has the prove from the Austrian National Bank that OeKB CSD provides the securities account administration on T2S (reference 16), it has the prove of ECSDA that it is a member of the European central securities depositories (reference 23), it has the prove from the European Central Bank that OeKB CSD is in charge for the market practice in Austria. The scope of OeKB CSD in my article is similar to the scope of Clearstram and Euroclear. Therefore, this is no advertisment, the article describes only the tasks of the Austrian CSD, not more and not less. So please have a look at it again - if you want to change something, I am open for any discussion, but please do not decline the submission. Thx a lot! Kind regards, Jelena JelenaIlicVienna (talk) 08:43, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
Issue Wikilinking 5′ reported on Phab@Waddie96: T233101 Your thread has been archived
Tina KeeperI'm not convinced that enough time has passed yet to be sure that "Kitchikeesik" won't just rewrite the whole thing into an advertisement for her film work that almost completely obliterates her political career again, so I'm not yet prepared to drop it completely. I have dropped it from admin-only to extended-confirmed, however (autoconfirmed wouldn't work, as Kitchikeesik has already passed that bar.) Bearcat (talk) 17:34, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

178.172.239.99 (talk) 10:29, 24 September 2019 (UTC) A message from 5.157.71.6Regarding my edits to the Angola Civil War page: I updated out of date clearance stats, added a clause stating that the 15 million figure was a pre-survey estimate (this is evident from the current citation), and removed obsolete and no longer useful information regarding staff numbers at a demining organisation. Happy to engage with you on this, if you are interested? 5.157.71.6 (talk) 11:30, 24 September 2019 (UTC) Hi Waddie96, I saw your revision deletion request. I have two problems with it: (1) The text may not be protected by copyright, see Copyright on the content of patents and in the context of patent prosecution and (2) it was not clear which revisions need deleting, you targeted some that are older than the patent claim. Could you try to piece this together and maybe comment at WT:CP? Thank you, —Kusma (t·c) 12:03, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Your SigNot sure what you've been doing with your signature, or what the intentions are, but templates (and especially parser functions) should not be used in signatures (for example Special:Diff/918858447 and Special:Diff/918855687). Primefac (talk) 19:35, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
Visual Editor breakageThere is a serious bug in Visual Editor, when copy-pasting text into the article it destroys citations. Because of this there has been added a lot of bad content to List of benzodiazepines that needs to be deleted. In this diff search on "cite%20note". All that has to go, it's garbage data. I'll remove it, but suggest you re-add the citations you intended, but not using the copy-paste method, and/or not use VisualEditor. -- GreenC 21:38, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Celebritynetworth.com as a sourceHi Waddie96. I noticed that you recently used celebritynetworth.com as a source for biographical information in Jeffree Star. Please note that the general consensus as expressed at WP:RSN is that celebritynetworth.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks.--Ronz (talk) 17:08, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk PagesThe Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!Hello, Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia. I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in! From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community. If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org. Thank you! --User:Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:58, 23 November 2019 (UTC) TemplatingHi there, this edit, where you appear to be reprimanding Panda619, doesn't seem terribly constructive to me. The recipient of the template has been here about 3 months, has fewer than 1000 edits and they have 0 edits to article Talk pages and only 8 edits on any other talk page. With that little exposure to common articles, I would absolutely consider them to be templatable. Note also that WP:DTR is not a Wikipedia behavioural guideline or policy, making it a relatively toothless warning anyway. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:37, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Regarding User:Akshay843Hi there, and thanks for your anti-vandalism efforts. Just wanted to point out that in the case of User:Akshay843, the talk page templates don't thoroughly explain why he was reverted. Since he reached out for clarification, it's better to give a detailed explanation, rather than to just "refer to his talk page", where such a explanation doesn't exist. Please note that he/she acted in WP:AGF, and encourage the newcomers. Thanks, and happy editing! ◢ Ganbaruby! (Say hi!) 09:17, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Fairness, honesty, and neutrality must prevail; otherwise, what to say such vandal that Saqib has removed 12,837 bytes of well-sourced material from the article about Ehsan Sehgal without explanation and discussion, and get the article protected from IP.
