Hi there. The word proximity means closeness, so using both words results in close closeness and, therefore, creates a word redundancy. I checked the COVID-19 pandemic page, and it only states proximity on its own too. - Seasider53 ( talk) 15:50, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Timelapse of the Entire Universe, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Singularity. 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.)

Hi Gerald, sorry I don't know how to reply in the Teahouse. Thank you for your help, but that will create a THIRD level of redirect, whereas I would like to avoid redirections... and just turn Stuart Bailey into Stuart Bertolotti-Bailey. I would also like to change the category, which was article originally, and then I somehow got it wrong and changed it to wikipedia... Please help, I don't know what to do! Could you even do it for me perhaps? THANK YOU TheServingLibrary ( talk) 12:47, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi there - I see you were working on untangling the pagemoves at Stuart Bertolotti-Bailey earlier. Cutting and pasting the article text isn't a good thing to do because it splits the page history. The history needs to stay with the article for copyright reasons, so it should be done by moving the page. If there's a redirect in the way or some other technical issue, you can make a post at WP:RM#TR to have an admin or page mover sort it. In the meantime, I've requested WP:HISTMERGE on that article to get the history back where it belongs. Feel free to drop me a line if I can assist at all! ‑‑ ElHef ( Meep?) 13:35, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
Not every conversation needs a reply, and sometimes a reply just makes things worse. I suggest you stop replying at User talk:Joannych, further discussion is not going to net you anything. At this point they are on the verge of trolling, and we do not feed trolls. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! ⚓ 18:59, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:MFS2020 thumbnail.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:57, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Here's the deal: The various templates on the Did You Know page are nominations. Each are to be reviewed by an editor not affiliated with the article nominated, where they will check it against each DYK criteria. What I have seen so far is that you are only commenting on the nomination. Am I right? Vincent LUFan ( talk) ( Kenton!) 11:02, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
I see that you made use of {{ resolved}} at WP:TH#Why is this article in the "Wikipedia:" namespace?. As you will see at WT:TH#Use of resolved template there is some feeling that this should not be done on the Teahouse, unlike the help desk and some other fora. Thius is just a note toi make you aware of this. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 15:19, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. Please do take a look.
I will consider better approach next time if I do not receive an absolutely STUNNINGLY rude message from a completely misinformed person.
I am absolutely shivering here out of sheer magnitude of injustice done to my editing!!! Radspeed ( talk) 06:07, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
