@ CASSIOPEIA: Hey Warofdreams- I have marked List of countries by southernmost point, List of countries by northernmost point etc as possibly containing original research. Is there a way to justify the claims made on those pages that works for Wikipedia? For instance, looking at Google Maps, I KNOW that the southernmost point of Tajikistan is in Ishkoshim District (see Extreme Points of Tajikistan and the talk page and related discussions). But there is "no source" that gives that information (in English at least). How can we produce the lists that we want to make without violating the rules of Wikipedia?? Thanks for any help.

I completed a review for you at Template:Did you know nominations/Danish Trade Union Confederation, and noted one minor quick fix. When you have a moment, please follow up. Cheers! Flibirigit ( talk) 19:39, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
On 3 March 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Danish Trade Union Confederation, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Danish Trade Union Confederation, the country's largest trade union centre, promotes a model in which pay and working conditions are negotiated without state involvement? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Danish Trade Union Confederation. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Danish Trade Union Confederation), 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. Hope all is ok with you. I saw you are working on CGT articles. If you by any chance come across good references on who were the CGT delegates at the 3rd World Congress of the Comintern, please add a note on the talk page. I've gotten some names, but the sources are incoherent. -- Soman ( talk) 23:35, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I have two queries regarding your sourcing and don't have access to The Times to check myself. In 1961 you list two candidates, Kensington South - M. Nielson and Streatham - A. Cowan. I was wondering if these were Margaret Neilson and Anthony Cowen, but in both there is a slight difference in spelling. Graemp ( talk) 12:14, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Warofdreams! Since you created the P. P. Narayanan article, you may be interested in the draft at User:EternalSelf/sandbox, which is a revised version of the declined draft at User:Ppnfoundation/sandbox. GoingBatty ( talk) 18:18, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, This one might tickle your researching instincts. Louie Simpson is given in wikipedia as the name of the Labour candidate who contested West Dorset in 1923 and 1924. Craig lists the candidate as Mrs. L. Simpson. So, is Louie her name or her husband's name? Craig usually lists married female candidates by their initials rather than their husbands. The NPG has this portrait of a politician from 1924 called J. Simpson. Could the NPG have a portrait of the West Dorset Labour candidate, Mrs Simpson and what was her forename?

Hi there, I've noticed you are a member of countering systematic bias on Wikipedia, as well as a lover of history. I want to create a page for the kingdom of Kush that deals with the military history of Nubia. I have enough reliable sources, however, I am scared it will be nominated for speedy deletion; this is why I haven't even created it yet. Is there a way I can protect page if I create it. ( Kwesi Yema ( talk) 17:13, 27 September 2020 (UTC))
Thank you very much. Then I'll create it in my user space to get everything prepared. I'll inform you to check it out if the sources are reliable enough before I post it. Kwesi Yema ( talk) 19:15, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
By God's grace I'm done. You can view the prototype here. User:Kwesi Yema/Military of Nubia. I'm creating the page. Please cross check and ensure everything is in the right shape. Kwesi Yema ( talk) 16:07, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the review, the main deal is here Military of ancient Nubia. A few content were from other articles. However, the only issue now is that when you search "military of ancient Nubia" on the web, my page wouldn't be directed; in fact, you won't even find it on Google. You can only find it through manual search on Wikipedia. I've decided to attach the link to various articles such as Ancient warfare and African military systems to help make the article more prominent. Kwesi Yema ( talk) 18:16, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
