Thank you today for Arch of Remembrance, "Lutyens' largest war memorial in the UK. It's certainly impressive, the result of a healthy budget and careful planning, but its gestation was far from easy"! - DYK that Monteverdi's operas are now open for review, a tribute to the memory of the great Brian Boulton whose birthday we remember today. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:26, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
Could you email me the contents of the above article, which you speedy-deleted as "advertising or promotion"? I'm not going to recreate it; I'm asking because its contents might help classify its image correctly on Commons. Vahurzpu ( talk) 18:01, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Harry, asked for help from Darren-M on removing a template that has been on the page since September 5, 2019, and now got an additional notice of Conflict of Interest, which was a surprise since the article has been on Wikipedia since 2014 and heavily reviewed and not one Administrator ever mentioned Conflict of Interest. And I never hid my involvement or name, using rnieders, how can this be resolved? All the best Rnieders ( talk) 01:44, 19 July 2020 (UTC).

Hello there, could you please take a look at Arameans article from time to time due to countless edit warrings with a group of national vandalists, such as user Mugsalot, who have successfully established themselves here on English Wikipedia by spreading POV editing. This has been going for the last couple of years. Permanently violating Wikipedia's policy instead of being a neutral encyclopedia, welcoming high-quality academic sources even if it doesn't fit these people's views, which shouldn't matter here. Many thanks in advance.

Thank you today for Tower Hill Memorial, a war memorial "dedicated to merchant seamen in both world wars who lost their lives as a result of enemy action and have "no grave but the sea". It is one of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's memorials to the missing, and the CWGC's only monument in London. Anyone following my project will have already guessed that this is another work of Sir Edwin Lutyens (who was far from happy that his first design was rejected!)."! - Nice match to today's Nerotalanlagen, DYK later today. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:42, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi,
I read here, on the
block history of this contributor, that you first blocked him indefinitely, after he had been blocked 8 times among other grounds for
personal attacks or
harassment, but also that you revoked this indefinite block 3 weeks later.
As I have been suffering from continuing
harassment in the recent months by this contributor,
as explained here by me, but also [
here by another contributor], I am interested in the circumstances when you first blocked him undefinity, and why you unblocked him later.
However, somehow, probably because I am a relatively newcomer, I don't know how to have access to your diffs of that time.
Can you please help me and provide me with these 2 diffs?

Hello User:HJ Mitchell, I would like you to peer review the article, MCMXC a.D. for GA status. It is about an album by Enigma that was relatively famous in the early 1990s due to the success of " Sadeness (Part I)" and its unique (at the time) mixture of different genres and elements. Thanks. Lazman321 ( talk) 05:04, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello HJ Mitchell, The aforementioned article was create protected by you for genuine reasons which have been resolved now. in this draft Draft:Ian Greenstreet version. The article was deleted due to the fact that the article was created using marketing language and the subject was not notable. I have checked this current draft and improved it myself and ensuring it is rid of such marketing language and as well as provide sources to justify any claim made. I also wanted to mention that the individual is notable as he has received recognition in the UK, Ghana and have been covered in notable mediums/sources. Having him on Wikipedia will serve readers who seek such information. -- Flixtey ( talk) 08:07, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi, thank you so much for taking your time reviewing the FAC for "Blank Space". I wonder if you could help out with this FAC for 1989 as it has been put on urgent list for more reviews. Though I believe the article is near-ready after two failed noms and one PR, I think it needs a more in-depth scrutiny on the prose to make sure that it is absolutely ready.

Hiya, thanks for the GA review on Northern Bank robbery. I'm interested by what you mean about how it would need more work for FA, because that's not something I have done before. I can agree with needing to track down the Moore book, are you saying it would need more secondary sources? It is quite heavy with newspaper reports at the moment, but I haven't come across much further literature. Cheers and have nice Sunday, Mujinga ( talk) 13:59, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

This is to let you know that the York City War Memorial article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 13, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 13, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:20, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

I can agree with needing to track down the Moore book, are you saying it would need more secondary sources? It is quite heavy with newspaper reports at the moment, but I haven't come across much further literature. Cheers and have nice Sunday, Mujinga ( talk) 13:59, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

This is to let you know that the York City War Memorial article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 13, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 13, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:20, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi. I see that you are one of the editors/admins active helping at DYK. I wonder if you can help me. I would like to post this to DYK, but cannot as an IP, and don't wish to register here (or for any political party for that matter). But I have a DYK that I am happy for someone else to post and get credit for. Might you perhaps be able to? Lmk. If not, I will ask someone else. It is as follows:

Enjoy the holiday season, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. It's been a wild year, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your contributions and for the role you play in making Wikipedia as good as it can be. It was a pleasure interacting with you this year. I wish you and your loved ones all the best this December and in the years to come. Thanks for your invaluable help with Fabian Ware this year, for your invaluable advice, and for your invaluable content work. I hope your holidays are, well, happy!

Harry - good to hear from you. A very odd year indeed. Yes, if we are able to travel anywhere in 2021, it would be good to have a beer. Snippets to follow. KJP1 ( talk) 08:14, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
Happy editing. KJP1 ( talk) 08:56, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
