Hello Keith, I saw you edited the page i'm trying to realize. Thank a lot for that! I'm not sure that I understood what to do... I did, after you, some edit but I saw it was not what I had to do, as all the ref are not at the good places (after reading the Help page I thought it was just about the links and not the ref) I tried to undone my changes but I have to do it manually. I would be pleased that we can speak a bit about what to do and how to do it. If you have time later. It's still a draft so we have time. Thank you again for your help, have a great and peaceful day

Hello Keith,
I do not understand why you reverted my edit on Mick McCarthy's page. The link I used to get his number of games from 994 to 999 was this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9329329/Mick-McCarthy-set-charge-1-000th-game-manager-against-Huddersfield-Town.html.
This link proves that four games were missing from his page, so therefore I've made the page factually accurate and it also proves that tonight is McCarthy's 1,000th game as a manager. Another link is below:

Greetings Keith from Washington DC, I am hoping to get guidance from you on what more I might need to do to have an article I've translated from Persian into English? A "first timer" I am looking to learn the translation process, hoping to further contribute. One issue is, though I have ensured the Persian copy being translated is the most current, I keep getting an error that the copy being translated is an earlier version, which is not so. Reaching out to you because you edited an earlier version of the article on /info/en/?search=Draft:Ghafour_Youssefiani Kind regards, - Marty — Preceding unsigned comment added by مهرداد یوسفیانی ( talk • contribs) 19:05, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Keith: Wanted to let you know I've moved Ann Walker of Lightcliffe to Ann Walker (landowner) per an editor's suggestion/request and support of a 2nd editor. All discussion is on the talk page. The move should bring the page name into compliance with WP:NCPDAB policies. While updating the links to prevent double redirects I came across two WikiProject Yorkshire pages (as listed in the subhead above) and thought you might want to know. Watch All & Articles will need to be updated accordingly. Wasn't sure if these were pulled by hand, a SQL query or some sort of script so I didn't want to mess with them. Also the pages took to long to load for me because I usually work on my phone. Hit me up if you have questions or need a hand. Cheers. Kimdorris ( talk) 10:54, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021).
delete-redirect
userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.You might be interested in this one, which possibly is and isn't on your patch. The original article has apparently been deleted, and subsequently merged (a little) with River Gaunless, to which it is a tributary. There is a Welsh copy of the original Arn Gill article here, and a Commons category for it here. I think that what happened was that the original article was categorised as a village, although it is actually a beck in Langleydale, County Durham here. So maybe it got deleted because no-one could find the supposed village, and no-one was looking for a beck. (Note also, it's ARN Gill, not AM Gill - easy to misread).
At the same time, there is another Arn Gill in North Yorkshire, and that one is a ravine which contains ruined lead mines called Arn Gill Mines, here. The existing Commons category and Welsh article (both linked above) refer to County Durham, though, so I guess we must be dealing with that one.
I'd like to reinstate the article, though, even if it's only a stub, but with the correct co-ord and categories. What do you think? Storye book ( talk) 14:10, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Keith, I probably owe you an explanation for my latest moves with this page along with Talk:York. I found it while following links and, when I check a talk page, it is my habit to check its earliest revision to see if its text was removed in later edits. (This can surprisingly often cough up buried treasure (or junk, if you will). Anyway when I checked the history at Talk:York, I was very confused when the first revision had "new section" in its edit summary; I had *never* encountered that before. I noticed you doing a history split on the page but didn't really understand its purpose, so I undertook to put the history back where I thought it belonged, by moving some edits at Talk:York to Talk:York/Archive 1. After some thought and going through your move log, searching it for moves of archive pages, I realised there was actually a method to your madness, and that my history fiddling made the history at Talk:York/Archive 1 more confusing. Therefore I put everything back where it was initially. I think I've done everything correctly but it's ridiculously late at night here so I may have made a mistake; feel free to double-check my work. I'm aware that you no longer do these talk archive moves in the main namespace. Graham 87 20:55, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
I have noticed that you were making a considerable output on WP until 26 March, but have not contributed since then, and that (unusually for you) you have not put up your wikibreak notice. So please could you kindly let us know that you are OK? Please forgive me for asking such a question - but the present climate tends to give a cause for concern these days. Your contributions have always been highly valued, and your presence here is currently very much missed. All the best. Storye book ( talk) 08:08, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi KeithD: I see you fixed references to Marshal's Royal Naval Biography that were throwing up harv cite errors. Following the suggestions of @ PBS: I recently made a large number of Marshall cites in dozens of ship articles. Is the cite error a general problem that I need to take account of when creating the citations, or were the cases you fixed specific glitches? Please advise. Acad Ronin ( talk) 15:18, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
{{
Cite NBD1849}}
and it places the article into the same tracking category, but {{
cite EB1911}}
which is also a wrapper does not. In other words it appears that there is something incorrect in {{
cite RNB1823}}
(Marshall) and {{
Cite NBD1849}}
(O'Byrne). I have already checked and it is not multiple instances of either template causing the error so it must be something else and I will run some tests to try to identify what. In the meantime please do not add any "ignore-err=yes" parameters as that is a sticking plaster over the error and does not effect what the reader is seeing. --

16:38, 21 April 2021 (UTC)OK found it. This is a really nasty problem because it only shows up in article space, not in tempate or user space so it has to be tested for in article space.

Hello friend. I was recently given new page reviewer rights and autopatrolled rights. But I created an article over a month ago that slipped through the net and has not been reviewed so it's not showing on Google search. Can you just approve the page for me please? It's here: Samuel Flippen. If you could just approve it for me that would be great. Thanks. Inexpiable ( talk) 14:11, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
Not much longer than a year ago Keith D was responsible for the censorship of the Fearnville Gulag paragraph on the Fearnville page. For to long has Fearnvilles history been dictated by the elites of British conservatism. Please refrain from furthering this elite narrative and instead educate yourself on the true history of the location. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ROW2006 ( talk • contribs) 17:51, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello Keith, I saw you edited the page i'm trying to realize. Thank a lot for that! I'm not sure that I understood what to do... I did, after you, some edit but I saw it was not what I had to do, as all the ref are not at the good places (after reading the Help page I thought it was just about the links and not the ref) I tried to undone my changes but I have to do it manually. I would be pleased that we can speak a bit about what to do and how to do it. If you have time later. It's still a draft so we have time. Thank you again for your help, have a great and peaceful day

Hello Keith,
I do not understand why you reverted my edit on Mick McCarthy's page. The link I used to get his number of games from 994 to 999 was this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9329329/Mick-McCarthy-set-charge-1-000th-game-manager-against-Huddersfield-Town.html.
This link proves that four games were missing from his page, so therefore I've made the page factually accurate and it also proves that tonight is McCarthy's 1,000th game as a manager. Another link is below:

Greetings Keith from Washington DC, I am hoping to get guidance from you on what more I might need to do to have an article I've translated from Persian into English?

One issue is, though I have ensured the Persian copy being translated is the most current, I keep getting an error that the copy being translated is an earlier version, which is not so.

Hi Keith: Wanted to let you know I've moved Ann Walker of Lightcliffe to Ann Walker (landowner) per an editor's suggestion/request and support of a 2nd editor. All discussion is on the talk page. The move should bring the page name into compliance with WP:NCPDAB policies. While updating the links to prevent double redirects I came across two WikiProject Yorkshire pages (as listed in the subhead above) and thought you might want to know. Watch All & Articles will need to be updated accordingly. Wasn't sure if these were pulled by hand, a SQL query or some sort of script so I didn't want to mess with them. Also the pages took to long to load for me because I usually work on my phone. Hit me up if you have questions or need a hand. Cheers. Kimdorris ( talk) 10:54, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021).
delete-redirect
userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.You might be interested in this one, which possibly is and isn't on your patch. The original article has apparently been deleted, and subsequently merged (a little) with River Gaunless, to which it is a tributary. There is a Welsh copy of the original Arn Gill article here, and a Commons category for it here. I think that what happened was that the original article was categorised as a village, although it is actually a beck in Langleydale, County Durham here. So maybe it got deleted because no-one could find the supposed village, and no-one was looking for a beck. (Note also, it's ARN Gill, not AM Gill - easy to misread).
At the same time, there is another Arn Gill in North Yorkshire, and that one is a ravine which contains ruined lead mines called Arn Gill Mines, here. The existing Commons category and Welsh article (both linked above) refer to County Durham, though, so I guess we must be dealing with that one.
I'd like to reinstate the article, though, even if it's only a stub, but with the correct co-ord and categories. What do you think? Storye book ( talk) 14:10, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Keith, I probably owe you an explanation for my latest moves with this page along with Talk:York. I found it while following links and, when I check a talk page, it is my habit to check its earliest revision to see if its text was removed in later edits. (This can surprisingly often cough up buried treasure (or junk, if you will). Anyway when I checked the history at Talk:York, I was very confused when the first revision had "new section" in its edit summary; I had *never* encountered that before. I noticed you doing a history split on the page but didn't really understand its purpose, so I undertook to put the history back where I thought it belonged, by moving some edits at Talk:York to Talk:York/Archive 1. After some thought and going through your move log, searching it for moves of archive pages, I realised there was actually a method to your madness, and that my history fiddling made the history at Talk:York/Archive 1 more confusing. Therefore I put everything back where it was initially. I think I've done everything correctly but it's ridiculously late at night here so I may have made a mistake; feel free to double-check my work. I'm aware that you no longer do these talk archive moves in the main namespace. Graham 87 20:55, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
I have noticed that you were making a considerable output on WP until 26 March, but have not contributed since then, and that (unusually for you) you have not put up your wikibreak notice. So please could you kindly let us know that you are OK? Please forgive me for asking such a question - but the present climate tends to give a cause for concern these days. Your contributions have always been highly valued, and your presence here is currently very much missed. All the best. Storye book ( talk) 08:08, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi KeithD: I see you fixed references to Marshal's Royal Naval Biography that were throwing up harv cite errors. Following the suggestions of @ PBS: I recently made a large number of Marshall cites in dozens of ship articles. Is the cite error a general problem that I need to take account of when creating the citations, or were the cases you fixed specific glitches? Please advise.

{{
Cite NBD1849}}
and it places the article into the same tracking category, but {{
cite EB1911}}
which is also a wrapper does not. In other words it appears that there is something incorrect in {{
cite RNB1823}}
(Marshall) and {{
Cite NBD1849}}
(O'Byrne). I have already checked and it is not multiple instances of either template causing the error so it must be something else and I will run some tests to try to identify what. In the meantime please do not add any "ignore-err=yes" parameters as that is a sticking plaster over the error and does not effect what the reader is seeing. --

Hi, sorry about the PMC warnings you've been having to fix. Do you know if there's a way to prevent them happening when adding papers using the citation editor? Or is it just a case of mopping up afterwards? Red Fiona ( talk) 18:10, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Pageimages-blacklist
will be renamed MediaWiki:Pageimages-denylist
. The list can be copied to the new name. It will happen on 19 May for some wikis and 20 May for some wikis. Most wikis don't use it. It lists images that should never be used as thumbnails for articles.

Hi! Thanks so much for your contribution to the China PX protest article earlier. I have recently updated the article, and was wondering if you have time to offer some feedbacks for the new edits? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rainyyang ( talk • contribs) 00:09, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi! I noticed your edit on the Agreed Measures article and was wondering if you could give me any other advice/tips to get this article upgraded from a stub to c-class! Thanks Bambixie ( talk) 04:25, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi Keith,
Please could stop undoing all my Holbeach edits. Perhaps instead of undoing them you should have asked yourself if the page needed moving instead of just keep undoing someones work.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulspot ( talk • contribs) 13:12, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Kevin D!! I am a university student working on improving the article for Atriplex semibaccata for an assignment due in a couple days. I would really appreciate if you can have a look over the article and recommend suggestions. I am aiming to write an additional 1000 words to improve the article class by the due date (28th May). I greatly appreciate your time and effort. Thank you!! Hippocrates1354 ( talk) 06:40, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring time sanity :)) I have been slowly working on the article, do you think it might be ready for a reassessment and if you have any free time and interest do you have any recommendations. ....

I had to remove a copyright violation in Daraz , which reverted an edit made subsequently. You might wish to check to see if your edit needs to be redone.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 12:58, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello friend. I was recently given new page reviewer rights and autopatrolled rights. But I created an article over a month ago that slipped through the net and has not been reviewed so it's not showing on Google search. Can you just approve the page for me please? It's here: Samuel Flippen. If you could just approve it for me that would be great. Thanks. Inexpiable ( talk) 14:11, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
Not much longer than a year ago Keith D was responsible for the censorship of the Fearnville Gulag paragraph on the Fearnville page. For to long has Fearnvilles history been dictated by the elites of British conservatism. Please refrain from furthering this elite narrative and instead educate yourself on the true history of the location. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ROW2006 ( talk • contribs) 17:51, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in and edits about COVID-19. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi there, Am very new to Wikipedia editing and stil finding my way about. I see that you've tidied up a few of my references (they are labelled as bare references). I don't want to keep creating more work and wondered if you had a link to a WP best practice article about reference formats? SnowballWT ( talk) 18:39, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
