The editor of Draft:Aryn Martin came into IRC asking for help. Given your recent efforts on drafts of women, especially Canadian academics, I thought I'd point her out to you as there's a good chance from my causal research into her that she is notable and I know the editor would appreciate any assistance. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 20:59, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
You said "If anyone would like the article userfied, let me know." Please do so. Morgan Ginsberg ( talk) 05:13, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, could you please help me with the article for Rossendale United F.C.? Best, JV5, Joe Vitale 5 ( talk) 23:36, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi Joe Vitale 5. Take a look at some of our Featured Articles on football clubs, like Ipswich Town F.C. and Norwich City F.C.. The best quick answer is cite your sources. The article currently is very very lightly cited and we require claims to be cited from reliable sources. Someone could come along and delete whole chunks of the current article, particularly comments that make reference to living people, about whom we are very strict indeed. Hope that helps get you moving in the right direction. -- Dweller ( talk) Become old fashioned! 09:24, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Dear Ritchie333: In a few minutes of review, you've redirected the Article Steve Watkins (Kansas politician), which effectively deleted the entire content which has been discussed since the article was created. Frankly I'm baffled as to why you thought that action was appropriate. Six editors, Paul MacDonald, David McEddy, Four Violas, Sandnsea, one unsigned (I can look at the history and determine which other editor that was), voted to keep, though Sandnsea wrote "Comment" instead of "Keep," but his or her intent was clear, and myself. Two editors voted to redirect, SportingFlyer and Bearcat. Enos733, voted to merge. Two voted to delete, JohnPackLambert (who by implication chose to insult those who edited it)and Auslander. The discussion in part addressed a content issue, and changes were made to the article taking that into consideration. The article was considerably expanded in the time that the AfD discussion went on. So you seem to have disregarded the opinions of six editors, some of whom weighed in more than once to discuss the issues, and some of whom discussed the specific WP policies involved, as well as the editors' labor that went into creating, suggesting modifications, and expanding the article. In my opinion, you should undo your action. You can respond to me, undo your action, or respond to all those who have weighed in, at your discretion, but I think you've made a mistake which disregards those who have edited the article and those who took the AFD under consideration. I look forward to your response. Thank you. Activist ( talk) 11:05, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Ha! :p —— SerialNumber 54129 18:27, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Dear Ritchie333,
Apologies for sending this again in another section. I hadn't seen a reply and wanted to make sure it did not get lost in the chain/ sea of topics. Again, thank you for your time.
Thank you again for your help and I hope you has a great weekend! I was traveling and apologize for my tardy reply. I totally understand. I included below some links regarding Greg in this message. He has a number of articles on him, however, many of his published accomplishments predated 'Google' and are not avail online. Hopefully these are of some help, and at the very least could aid you in helping to establish a page for him and his name back into the Wikipedia world. If you need any additional info, please let me know. Again, you've been extremely helpful in this process and I thank you very much. Have a wonderful Monday!
Best,
Robyn

Thank you Ritchie333 for all the help and drafting an article. I noticed the other 'Greg Herman's' as well. LOL--- that's when sweaters were made well. Everything was better 20 years ago ;) -- That's why it lasted so long! Same goes for the laptop bag. Plus, everything comes full cycle so that sweater is probably in again! Nothing better than a good suit!! I totally agree!!!
I did notice the article submission came back and was declined. That's unfortunate. However, it can be resubmitted. Any thoughts on what would need to be done for it to be approved?
Thanks again!!
Best,
Robyn

Hello! Your submission of Saturday Zoo at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article London Bridge station you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Argento Surfer -- Argento Surfer ( talk) 16:20, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
On 18 October 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Luitpoldpark, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that passersby in Munich's Luitpoldpark may get soaked when a figure on the Pumuckl fountain (pictured) spits intermittently? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Luitpoldpark. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Luitpoldpark), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Ritchie, admire your work, but I wonder what happened in closing this AfD. I think that the outcome (merger and redirect) was much better than simply deleting it (regardless of what seemed as an lopsided !vote for delete: 15 over 10, plus one merger). But perhaps there is some arcane knowledge to which I am not privy to as to why it ended up the way it did. Thanks for entertaining my question Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 23:23, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I dispute your claim that G5 is a "silly reason to delete" and suspect JamesBWatson and many other admins would feel the same. Is there any reason for you unilaterally overturning it? IIRC this isn't the first time (apologies if I'm wrong on that). SmartSE ( talk) 16:51, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
I'm pretty much in the scrict enforcement of G5 camp, if it is concerned with UPE or that the master was blocked for falsification of references and all that stuff. But, this particular case, (though technically qualifying for G5), does seem rather innocent to me...... So, unless I miss something, I guess at the end of the day, the encycloepadia has improved.At best Ritchie's unilateral overturning might be trout-worthy:-) ∯WBG converse 21:00, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
( edit conflict)x3 ( talk page stalker) From what I see, all Ritchie did is saw an article that was deleted just because the creator happened to be a sock, and restored it so that he could work on it and improve the encyclopedia. I don't see how instantly calling out "admin abuse!" is helpful or necessary. After all, WP:IAR is a policy. I feel like this whole thread with so much drama is unnecessary and extreme.-- SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 21:51, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
