Hi Rich, could you please help me to find any reliable source for a record label? It seems Discogs is not and I really don't see what could be more reliable than Discogs for a digital record label. Brainkicker ( talk) 14:13, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Dear Rich, I wish you a great day! I've added some reliable sources to this article, and will continue to work on it, getting the proper permission/wording for photos i plan to add, and also will be adding documents discography and additional biography information about the subject. Thank you for your dedication! Here's what i've added: /info/en/?search=Draft:Manfred_%27Little%27_Konzett Beth Wimmer ( talk) 08:31, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi i have added a reference to the draft { Ref no.4 } https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mudasir_Zafar Article covers a sifnificant coverage and not just passing mentions.Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by FilmIndia2020 ( talk • contribs) 15:30, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Draft:Hornby, Lancaster shouldn't have been declined as a duplicate. Hornby-with-Farleton is an article about the (current) civil parish that was created from the merger of "Hornby" and "Farleton" parishes. Similar to the fact that there is a parish called Nayland-with-Wissington which was formed from the parishes of Nayland and Wissington. Brighton and Hove similarly was formed from the formerly separate units of Brighton and Hove. Most of the content at Hornby-with-Farleton#Hornby should be moved to the Hornby article but I was waiting until it was in mainspace before doing that. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 20:07, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello Rich,
I have tried multiple times submitting this wikipedia page but I am having enormous difficulty. You stated that the resources do not cover the content. Can you please assist me in editing?

Dear Rich Smith,
In your last message you have pointed out the mention of the awards, however these mentions are not used to promote the office. They have been given by an independent professional jury , for already completed projects.
Many architectural office's mention their awards in the wikipedia page, these are a few examples: /info/en/?search=Bjarke_Ingels_Group /info/en/?search=Atelier_Kempe_Thill
I would like to know what the diffrence in our submission.
Kind regards,

Hi Rich, Many thanks for your help with Clarke's page. I now able to restart the work on the page and have three questions: 1 - I don't seem to be able to add categories, how can I do that 2 - in the failed page of Clarke I added his photo and I am sure it wasn't used in other pages or serves, can I use it now? 3 - for some reason I am a bit afraid to save the changes - the only option I see is publish page and this is probably to finish the work and try to publish online, and I don't want to do that yet, jut sabe the changes. How do I do that_ Many thanks for all the help you can give. With best regards, Elisabete — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elisabete A Silva ( talk • contribs) 14:34, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
>>>>>Elisabete: Many thanks for the help. I made the changes you suggested with the categories, I won-t add the photo too,...the roding is indeed odd :)
>>>>>Elisabete: final question: would it be possible to publish Clarke's articule instead of waiting 7 weeks for the review?. I feel confident what with your help, Lopifalko and DoubleGrazing this page will be ok. Will this be a risk and should I wait or can I do that? and if so I do I move a page waiting to be reviewed to awaiting ok to be published ? Many thanks for all the continuous support, with best regards, Elisabete — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elisabete A Silva ( talk • contribs) 15:47, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
>>>>Elisabete: :@ Rich Smith: Hi, sorry, I assumed you wanted that I copy past the exact words. I will make that correction. I will also keep the page, I don't move the page until I am told to do so. Best regards, Elisabete p.s. Do you think there are other issues with the page that are worth correcting?

Rich:
The family of admiral Watson found out about the Wikipedia page and kindly asked to have it deleted. He is still alive and they are worried about negativity in this sensitive environment. I can't control the page but I wish to honor their/his request. Can you advise and help? -- DPForrester ( talk) 20:31, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Daniel F
Hi Rich You have moved a couple of my draft articles to the draft space, but one effect of this appears to be that my account is no longer working properly. This is what I get on my user page:
User:AbiGoodwins From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name. In general, this page should be created and edited by User:AbiGoodwins. If in doubt, please verify that "AbiGoodwins" exists. Start the User:AbiGoodwins page. Search for "AbiGoodwins" in existing pages of namespace User. Look for pages within Wikipedia that link to this title. Other reasons this message may be displayed:
If a page was recently created here, it may not be visible yet because of a delay in updating the database; wait a few minutes or try the purge function. Titles on Wikipedia are case sensitive except for the first character; please check alternative capitalizations and consider adding a redirect here to the correct title. If the page has been deleted, check the deletion log, and see Why was the page I created deleted?.
How do I correct this? I'm new to Wikipedia editing, so am a bit confused. I got round the first problem by just deleting the first draft in my sandbox and creating another, but don't know what to do about my user page.
Thanks very much
Best regards

Thanks for responding. The documentation on the template page is in this case a little poor – "If you need help, you can place this template on any talk page". In the present case I hoped that someone with a knownledge of Aboriginal languages might respond. Is it worth clarifying the template documentation to emphasise that is should only be used for "Wikipedia-specific – editing, navigating etc"? Do you want to take this on board, or should I add it to my list of things to do when I get around to it? Regards, Martin of Sheffield ( talk) 14:09, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I've noticed your NoSandboxesHere bot leaving the edit summary "I Have Removed An Template Which Is Not Valid In Draftspace". I'd like to suggest that it be changed to sentence case (instead of capitalizing each word) so as to set a good example for newbies who might see it. The "An" should also be "a". Thanks. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 23:57, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
