Hello Wikicology, just wanted to let you know that I am withdrawing the nomination of Hiranandani Gardens, Mumbai that you were reviewing. Will complete the steps on the GA and article talkpage. FYIP. Cheers, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 17:36, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited DJ LBC, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zambian. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

He seem solidly notable to you? Searches at News, Books, browsers and Highbeam found several links but mostly passing mentions and all of them still question that article, which currently seems promotional and in need of serious improvements. I considered nominating but am not entirely sure especially of its outcome. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 06:24, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
On 15 December 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Folake Solanke, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Folake Solanke is the first female Senior Advocate of Nigeria? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Folake Solanke. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), 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. |

Wikicology, I typically ask Nikkimaria—whom I consider to be an excellent close paraphrasing/copyvio/plagiarism checker—to look over articles where there have been issues, or where I've seen instances that I think may rise to the level of close paraphrasing but I'm not entirely sure do so. In this case, she mentioned exactly the passage I'd been concerned about. Over the years I've found that sometimes she finds things I don't see, or considers matters that I thought might be suspicious as not being of significant concern. I hope you'll understand why I'll continue to wait for Nikkimaria's response once I've asked for it. BlueMoonset ( talk) 17:53, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello Wikicology. Thank you for assessing the article about WIMBIZ. I would like to ask you if you could help User:Olaniyan Olushola to overcome the multiple issues of the article. Since you are much more experienced than Olushola (7,416 vs. 723 edits) you might point out to him in more detail what is missing in the article (neutral point of view, nonjudgmental language, opposing views). Thank you very much, -- Gereon K. ( talk) 07:39, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
I removed your AFD tag on this article. It's possible that TW didn't complete all the steps properly, fwiw. Feel free to renominate; I just didn't have anything with which to complete the nomination. Thanks. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 13:44, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi Wikicology, I hope you're well. I've been working on a user space draft (see here) which aims to address the issues currently affecting Femi Otedola. The current article has a few problems and is very limited, as it's confined to his Forbes listing and Zenon Petroleum and Gas, and includes nothing on African Petroleum and its rebrand to Forte Oil Plc, which is of course now by far his main business interest. A very large part of the article is completely unreferenced. My draft attempts to fill in those gaps and bring it all up to date, and also includes some of his other investments – in insurance, shipping and real estate – and his role at Transcorp. It is balanced and thoroughly referenced, and adds a couple more international titles in Reuters and BBC. If you have time to take a look at it and see whether it might serve as a good replacement for the current article, that would be much appreciated. As stated on my user page, I have a COI in that Femi Otedola is my client. Many thanks. HOgilvy ( talk) 17:29, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Wikic¤l¤gy for the kind review and I have copied the link CITSTRUCT for future guidance. Please note that the city of Kozhikode has three kinds of boundaries: those decided by the local body, the district administration and the provincial government. The popular conception of city boundary can vary from all this. The eastern parts of the city are considered as part of the city by everyone but they have separate panchayat raj administrations of their own. Since creating separate articles for them can be confusing because of overlapping boundaries, merging them into a single article called ‘’’Kozhikode East’’ will make more sense.
