Ref number 29 has the publisher wrong I think - please help if able and thanks for all of your time and effort. T. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.33.125.158 ( talk) 07:56, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for updating articles with the correct template. One thing you might keep in mind is that because the template gives the author as Historic England, this can change the place in a bibliography where the source should appear alphabetically. I've fixed this for the articles I track that you've edited ( Benty Grange, Benty Grange helmet, Benty Grange hanging bowl, Works of Herbert Maryon), but it might help to remember for articles that are less closely watched.

Just finished this one: Tidmington. A user ( /info/en/?search=User_talk:Crouch,_Swale#Tidmington) has added a 2001 pop but there's no ref... says there's link rot... very probable. But I so hate no refs with anality. I seem to remember that you have sorted nomis etc. equivalents... can you help here? I can't find anything. I'll have to remove the add if there isn't one.

Hello!
Thank you for editing my page on Gorgasia. I was wondering in your editor opinion if the Gorgasia page that you recently edited is still considered a stub? I am doing this for a school assignment and when deleting a paragraph deleted the stub tag portion of the page by mistake. Our goal of the assignment was to get our articles to no longer be recognized as a stub. Do you think I accomplished this or should the stub tag be reassigned?
Thank you.

Hi. Could you please comment on Talk:USS_Cole_(DDG-67). I have tried to make the claim that is sourced to US official in Fox news, which is that the Houthis are Iranian-backed, between quotations so that we don't make Wikipedia biased by stating the allegation as a fact in Wikipedia voice I have got reverted and the explanation is +3000 and mostly about me having a point of view although I am not actually pushing any point of view. I am simply trying to make Wikipedia more unbiased. I believe since I have seen you around that area many times that you have an opinion about this so I asked you here. It would be great if you commented there. Thanks. SharabSalam ( talk) 18:09, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Keith, I am the other half of the discussion on the the USS Cole talk page. It's unfortunate that SharabSalam didn't notify me of this discussion because it appears he is being somewhat disingenuous. The full quote from the US defense official in the source is;
The Navy sent the USS Cole to the Gulf of Aden following an attack earlier this week on a Saudi warship off Yemen by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels [1]
... It's not just the last four words that should be put into quotes. My explanation for the revert is detailed on the article talk page and has not been represented here. I appreciate you offering advice, but I would invite you to join the discussion there so that you aren't misrepresented as well. Thanks again. Cheers - wolf 16:43, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey dude, I would appreciate it if you stop reverting the incorrect statement that "University of Bologna is the oldest university in the world" because it is not and never was! That premise is false on many basis and does not stand up to academic and historical facts. The oldest existing, and continually operating educational institution in the world is the University of Karueein, founded in 859 AD in Fez, Morocco as mentioned by numerous academic books and encyclopedias. The second oldest university in the world is the Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt founded in 970 way before University of Bologna. If you continue to revise the editing Wikipedia will permanently block and ban both your user name and I.P address. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afg96 ( talk • contribs) 16:14, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
