Hi, when you have tagged the group of categories (like Category:Forensic works etc.) for CFD, for some reason the date in the template has come out as the 5th, rather than the 7th, so the links don't work. I've fixed one of the categories [1]. – Uanfala (talk) 15:43, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I spotted that you removed Religious leaders from Positions of authority. [2] Fair enough, since it contains biographies, but it would have been better to place the appropriate sub-cat into that hierarchy, namely Religious leadership roles.

Note that the Category:African Games competitors for Congo hierarchy which you created should be Republic of Congo - I've speedied it. Also per WP:REDNOT you shouldn't add red-linked categories as you tried to do here - and if you had tried to create Category:Administration you would have seen that it was deleted per 2016 CfD as Administration is a disambiguation page. I've changed it to Category:Public administration for the time being - it covers the current contents but Category:Administrators should probably be renamed to Category:Public administrators for clarity.

Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Hi mate, I saw you updated Template:TwoLeg start a few years back so it was compatible with up to four legs. Would it be possible to make the titles of the extra legs customisable? For example, the 1956–57 European Cup saw a couple of ties finish level after the two legs, requiring a third "play-off" match to be played. This wouldn't typically be termed a "third leg", so the ability to modify the header of the table to use the correct nomenclature would be appreciated. – Pee Jay 10:27, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I am writing about Awad El Karim Makki in no-wiki, and I use Special:WhatLinksHere/Awad_El_Karim_Makki as a source. I find that he won three medals in 2007 Arab Youth Athletics Championships, an article that you have created. But, when I check the souces, I become unsure.... See this link. Here, they state that the 200/400 winner is Aouadh Mekki, born 1990. So, the name is close, but Awad El Karim Makki is born in 1992. How sure can we be that Awad El Karim Makki participated in 2007 Arab Youth Athletics Championships? Ssu ( talk) 12:11, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
Dear User,
As I have learned Ukrainian, because I like very much this country, I perfectly know that Hanna Skydan is the usual way to render her Ukrainian name in the Latin alphabet. But since she has become Azerbaijani, her name in azeri is somehow different because of the prononciation rules. Azeri is directly written in Latin alphabet (now). And the federation of Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 uses the name written in Azeri, nevertheless you put the « English » version of their page ( [3]).
As you may see on the good version : [4], in Azeri her name is Anna Skidan (with an i with a point on the capital).
I will not insist, but as always, my modification was not out of order.
Yours and thanks for your involvement in the project.- Binbaksa ( talk) 23:37, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Dear Sillyfolkboy.
As you may see and of course know, Doha 2019, the World Championships, will start very soon. As in the previous editions (2017, 2015, 2013 and so), each participant federation (210 countries in 2019) have a specific article, listing the athletes and the results for each. As I noticed that only a very few countries were already started (mainly the A letter), I give my help by editing 30-49 more countries, even completing or editing the articles already completed. So I am very big surprised and upset by this massive draft (asking me, for each country, to put the good sources on each, even when the sources are already put. I will take the exemple of Kiribati: except for the readers of Te Uekera (the weekly newspaper of Tarawa, not on Internet), no source will never speak about the 100 m of Tirioro Willie, even if he will break his personal best of 11.44. When I look at the previous editions ( Kiribati at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics, there is nothing but the IAAF file. Am I wrong ? Could you explain that to the draft mover? Thanks in advance. Yours.- Arorae ( talk) 15:08, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello! I'd like to discuss the deletion of 569 bytes from the subsection Iranian presence in Syria. Your summary was, "remove detail on Houla killings - unclear how this specifically relates to Iran or Quds force". I don't disagree that the specific relation with Ghaani's quote may be contentious, but I disagree with the act of totally removing it. If articles on wikipedia only included circumstances or quotes which are clearly causally related, then much historical context would be lost. It is enough to have plausible linkage, and have that conjecture be supported by a secondary source, instead of removing it completely. For example, the article about Stuxnet included the fact that "two Iranian nuclear scientists were targeted in separate, but nearly simultaneous car bomb attacks" on the same day that president Ahmadinejad announced that a computer virus had attacked the Natanz nuclear facility. The link between Stuxnet and the car bombings was never clearly established, but a speculative link to the Iranian government made by Wired was allowed to be included in the article.
In the subsection Iranian presence in Syria, conjecture is being made by U.S. Department of State spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. The name of the source article is even called "Media Watch | Iran's Alleged Role in Syrian Massacre". The incident of the Houla massacre is central to the controversy of potential Iranian involvement because the U.S. State Department via Nuland asserted that Iran helped train the fighters responsible. If this context is removed, then the meaning of the rest of the subsection is fundamentally changed. Do you have a counterargument as to why this context shouldn't be included? Best, Amanda.Yaya99 ( talk) 02:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello Sillyfolkboy,
I noticed that you moved Scott Martin (athlete) to Scott Martin (thrower). I feel that the attribute thrower is an unusual term to refer to an athlete. As there are no other athletes with this name, I prefer to keep it at athlete. Inwind ( talk) 06:52, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

You had proposed to merge a category of athletes to sportspeople and while you were convinced that it could still be as it was (in fact you added the model that explains why athetes are sportspeople of the sports of athletics), the people of Wikipedia got up for the cancellation of germanophone :O :D But that wasn't what you meant. ;) -- Kasper2006 ( talk) 11:09, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I'm contacting you as the project co-ordinator for WikiProject Athletics regarding an annoyance. Last week I was looking at the World Championships in Athletics article, and noticed that there wasn't an article for "Canada at the World Championships in Athletics," although there were such articles for other countries. As a Canadian, I thought I should fix that, so I did, following the format for Sweden at the World Championships in Athletics. Took some time, but was happy to do it. Then after I published it, someone put it into "Draft" status because there weren't enough references. I was annoyed about that, because it's a list of articles / information already listed on Wikipedia, and moreover, follows the same format as other such articles that also don't references. "What the what?" was my reaction. Anyway, my point here is that my messages to the Wikipedian who "Draft"-ed the article have gone unheeded, and as athletics isn't really my area and I've no desire to get into a fight about this article, I thought I would bring this to your attention, and if you see fit, you could un-"Draft" the article: Draft:Canada at the World Championships in Athletics. Cheers. -- Trb333 ( talk) 19:46, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I made some additional edits to the swimming articles, providing more info about participating teams.

I'm writing because you made the original revert back from my change of "Lusophony Games" to "Lusophone Games." As I just wrote to another editor who has tried to make the same change, I checked the Oxford English Dictionary before I made the initial edit. I have just checked it again, and it says the following: "No dictionary entries found for ‘lusophony’ Did you mean: lusophone". Wikipedia is supposed to be based on actual scholarship, not words that editors make up without checking recognized authoritative sources on the English language. The term 'lusophony' does not appear anywhere prior to its coinage in Wikipedia. The term "lusofonia" is perfectly good Portuguese, but it is not English. The English word is "lusophone." I will change this back when I have time after the semester is over, since you have wasted my time with your arbitrary change which you made without checking sources. That is not scholarship.

Thanks for your detailed review of this list at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of winners of the Boston Marathon/archive3. I am currently leaning towards withdrawing the nomination to allow a discussion and possible complete overhaul of the list and its format. Depending on how that process goes, a similar overhaul may be necessary for the other marathon majors, as you have suggested. My concern is that adding the other categories you raised would make this list article excessively long, so I wonder if we would be best served splitting it down into multiple different lists List of winners of the Boston Marathon (open division), List of winners of the Boston Marathon (wheelchair division), List of winners of the Boston Marathon (masters division), List of winners of the Boston Marathon (handcycle division) for example. I think that having them all on the one page is likely to make it too unwieldy: what do you think? Harrias talk 12:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
On 18 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Joseph Ngolepus, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joseph Ngolepus. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Joseph Ngolepus), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello there. I saw that you have been involved in a few articles relating to athletics, specifically the great man himself, Usain Bolt. Absolutely no rush on this, but I was wondering if when you have a moment, you could please take a quick glance at Bolt's female counterpart Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (sadly, not many people know about her). Will eventually try to get it up to featured article status, but I think it could use a fresh pair of eyes, with the main focus being the prose/copy edit. Again, no rush, and if you're busy, that's Ok. Just been reading the article on Bolt, and the prose is top notch! Thanks. Journalist . talk 16:38, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
On 6 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Death of Olaseni Lewis, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Death of Olaseni Lewis.

If this context is removed, then the meaning of the rest of the subsection is fundamentally changed. Do you have a counterargument as to why this context shouldn't be included?

Hello Sillyfolkboy,
I noticed that you moved Scott Martin (athlete) to Scott Martin (thrower). I feel that the attribute thrower is an unusual term to refer to an athlete. As there are no other athletes with this name, I prefer to keep it at athlete. Inwind ( talk) 06:52, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for your help with the articles for the two Belgian Olympians at AfD. Much appreciated. As a side note, I've always read your name as forkboy until now! :D Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 16:37, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
You had proposed to merge a category of athletes to sportspeople and while you were convinced that it could still be as it was (in fact you added the model that explains why athetes are sportspeople of the sports of athletics), the people of Wikipedia got up for the cancellation of germanophone :O :D But that wasn't what you meant. ;) -- Kasper2006 ( talk) 11:09, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I'm contacting you as the project co-ordinator for WikiProject Athletics regarding an annoyance. Last week I was looking at the World Championships in Athletics article, and noticed that there wasn't an article for "Canada at the World Championships in Athletics," although there were such articles for other countries. As a Canadian, I thought I should fix that, so I did, following the format for Sweden at the World Championships in Athletics. Took some time, but was happy to do it. Then after I published it, someone put it into "Draft" status because there weren't enough references. I was annoyed about that, because it's a list of articles / information already listed on Wikipedia, and moreover, follows the same format as other such articles that also don't references. "What the what?" was my reaction. Anyway, my point here is that my messages to the Wikipedian who "Draft"-ed the article have gone unheeded, and as athletics isn't really my area and I've no desire to get into a fight about this article, I thought I would bring this to your attention, and if you see fit, you could un-"Draft" the article: Draft:Canada at the World Championships in Athletics. Cheers. -- Trb333 ( talk) 19:46, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I made some additional edits to the swimming articles, providing more info about participating teams. With regard to this boxer, the problem is that Soviet athletes were state-sponsored, hence not amateurs, though I think we can put the word Olympic in the lead. source Thank you!

I'm writing because you made the original revert back from my change of "Lusophony Games" to "Lusophone Games." As I just wrote to another editor who has tried to make the same change, I checked the Oxford English Dictionary before I made the initial edit. I have just checked it again, and it says the following: "No dictionary entries found for ‘lusophony’ Did you mean: lusophone". Wikipedia is supposed to be based on actual scholarship, not words that editors make up without checking recognized authoritative sources on the English language. The term 'lusophony' does not appear anywhere prior to its coinage in Wikipedia. The term "lusofonia" is perfectly good Portuguese, but it is not English. The English word is "lusophone." I will change this back when I have time after the semester is over, since you have wasted my time with your arbitrary change which you made without checking sources. That is not scholarship.

I'm trying to figure out the page Dazza and it redirects with Darren. I've done searches and I can't find any real support for it. Can you please tell me how you came up with it? The reason I ask is that it's been the subject of a great deal of vandalism. thx ToeFungii ( talk) 01:55, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I finally found it although it was tough. So it's what someone from Australia uses a nickname for Darren. Never heard of it before. Does it really warranted a redirect though? I don't know but could you tell me why? ToeFungii ( talk) 02:10, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your recent articles, including Volksgenosse, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:33, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your detailed review of this list at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of winners of the Boston Marathon/archive3. I am currently leaning towards withdrawing the nomination to allow a discussion and possible complete overhaul of the list and its format. Depending on how that process goes, a similar overhaul may be necessary for the other marathon majors, as you have suggested. My concern is that adding the other categories you raised would make this list article excessively long, so I wonder if we would be best served splitting it down into multiple different lists List of winners of the Boston Marathon (open division), List of winners of the Boston Marathon (wheelchair division), List of winners of the Boston Marathon (masters division), List of winners of the Boston Marathon (handcycle division) for example. I think that having them all on the one page is likely to make it too unwieldy: what do you think? Harrias talk 12:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
On 18 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Joseph Ngolepus, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Joseph Ngolepus finished third at the 2003 London Marathon, one second behind the winner, in the closest London Marathon finish in history? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joseph Ngolepus. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Joseph Ngolepus), 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.

Hello there. I saw that you have been involved in a few articles relating to athletics, specifically the great man himself, Usain Bolt. Absolutely no rush on this, but I was wondering if when you have a moment, you could please take a quick glance at Bolt's female counterpart Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (sadly, not many people know about her). Will eventually try to get it up to featured article status, but I think it could use a fresh pair of eyes, with the main focus being the prose/copy edit. Again, no rush, and if you're busy, that's Ok. Just been reading the article on Bolt, and the prose is top notch! Thanks. Journalist . talk 16:38, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
On 6 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Death of Olaseni Lewis, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after the death of Olaseni Lewis, who was restrained by 11 police officers, UK law was changed to require police to wear body cameras when dealing with vulnerable people? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Death of Olaseni Lewis. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Death of Olaseni Lewis), 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.
