Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Death of David Oluwale. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{ cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{ nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20090124003856/http://digyorkshire.com:80/digHighlights.asp?highlightTypeIdentifier=2002829_890102566 to http://www.digyorkshire.com/digHighlights.asp?highLightTypeIdentifier=2002829_890102566&eventIdentifier=9f45a910-590a-4a55-b7a2-3e709a009eb8

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Hello all, I added an image to this page as part of a short-term paid project to share images of a year of culture that was held in Leeds. There's more on the project here and more images to make use of here, including more of the Hibiscus Rising sculpture. Many thanks Lajmmoore ( talk) 10:45, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Note: it was reverted, no problem Lajmmoore ( talk) 11:05, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Whilst Mr Oluwale was initially know to history as a result of his tragic death, he now surpasses GNG requirements for more than that unfortunate fact alone (SIGCOV of events both at the time of his death and more recently; things named in his honour; a Blue plaque, etc.). Is there any reason why this article shouldn't be named simply "David Oluwale" rather than the current (and rather morbid) "Death of David Oluwale"? -- Cl3phact0 ( talk) 20:43, 21 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Support for this move Lajmmoore ( talk) 07:43, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Not too sure how this process works, though you may wish to state your position in the actual RM thread below. -- Cl3phact0 ( talk) 17:55, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply

• Comment - suggest making into a formal move request to advertise the request. Keith D ( talk) 13:22, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply

   Done: Thank you for the suggestion, Keith D. (Having never previously initiated the WP:RM process, appreciate if you would check to make sure this has been properly implemented.) Cheers, Cl3phact0 ( talk) 09:44, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply
