Dear Refsworldlee, please, see Romanization of Ukrainian, where "Г" is transliterating as "h" and "Ґ" as "g". But if you using, for example, google translate, you all time will have transliteration as "g" in the names or surnames, city names etc., because Russian language not have the letter "Ґ" and its letter "Г" corresponds to sound "g". Why I wrote about Russian , if it's about Ukrainian surname? Because google translate is translating from Ukrainian to Russian and after - from Russian into English, for these reasons impossible to have "h" in English translation. I see, that often this mistake is repeated. For example, common Eastern Slavic name "Богдан" for Ukrainian is romanized as "Bohdan", but for Russians - "Bogdan" (it's pronouncing also differently). Please, leaves him as "Hadenko", because he hadn't a Russian passport-- Noel baran ( talk) 11:10, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for making amendments to the lists of deaths in 2022. I would imagine that the list gets quite a lot of viewings from people like me, who have an obsession with people who have recently died, so your help is appreciated! YTKJ ( talk) 21:43, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
Thank you from me, as well – I don't really know what I was thinking here, since I did check several of the references in the article itself and should have been able to pick a reliable one that's also freely accessible. (I have had access to the NYT for some years, but it's not like I don't know it's behind a paywall!) -- bonadea contributions talk 08:40, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi Refsworldlee,
I noticed you removed the Kajetan Migdal entry from "Deaths in 2022". He was a British actor and he died on May 28. I am just wondering why the entry was removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andymcteddybear ( talk • contribs) 13:18, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi @ Refsworldlee:, I'm sure as a Brit, I don't need to explain to you that "British" is as much (if not more as it also includes citizenship) of a "nationality" as Scottish or English. And yet your original reason for changing @ Ghmyrtle:'s entry of Shel Macrae from "British" to "Scottish" was "band article confirms his individual nationality". The subject in question was indeed Scottish-born, but most of his life was lived and worked in England, where he settled, raised a family and died. "British" is therefore a more appropriate description here. You are quite correct to say this has been discussed at length before, and there was not much consensus other than we look at things on a case by case basis. When a subject strictly identifies as Scottish/Welsh/English only, we respect those wishes on here. When a subject's career or life has largely only featured one of the countries of the UK, e.g. a member of the Welsh Assembly, it would be far more appropriate to describe them according to that specific country of the UK. However, when their birth is a stand alone chapter if their bio, British is far more appropriate. For example, Gordon Ramsay is not described as "Scottish" in the opening paragraph of his page, even though he was born there. If you wish to keep fighting this, I'm happy to open a discussion on the Deaths in 2022 talk page, but I am really struggling to see what your argument is. Thanks Jkaharper ( talk) 12:05, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
There does still seem to be some doubt over this - the source has changed its wording to insert "reportedly". We should be cautious. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 22:34, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for flagging Care Failure's "known name" in the Deaths in 2023 article.
Curious, however, as to why her death date is 26 March -- nowhere in the linked obit does it flag the day, and secondary sources reporting on her death (e.g. Yahoo News) don't provide a date. Shall we move her entry to 30 March (the day the TorStar obit was published)? 514Charlie ( talk) 10:59, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi, you recently removed the Bhante Vimalaramsi entry from Deaths in 2023 due to finding YouTube an unreliable source. While that is the case in a lot of situations, in this case, it came from Bhante's official YouTube channel for his monastery. 1TWO3Writer ( talk) 00:05, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for your work in replacing references behind paywalls with ones which anyone can read. It's a rather thankless task, which has some value. However, as per your edit on Sir Patrick Garland today, you may not be aware that The Telegraph changed its arrangements a month or two back, so that such notices are no longer behind a paywall. I am not a Telegraph subscriber and just clicked on https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk. There is no reason to change your edit back - your source is at least as good - and similar notices at The Times ARE still behind a paywall. Rcb1 ( talk) 15:34, 12 August 2023 (UTC)rcb1
I see you have some ideas about the relation between whether the last thing is related to the others and whether to use a comma or just "and". Maybe you're right, but I've never heard of this; always figured it was just something some writers do or don't, whatever the theme of the list. Did you learn this way somewhere or is it yours? In any case, your revisions are fine by me. Just a strange thing to see, so I'm intrigued. Hope you're doing well, whatever the story. InedibleHulk ( talk) 04:24, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Help me understand this, Twitter (X) is a delivery mechanism. The entity publishing the tweet is the source. The Delaware Blue Coats official account is a proper source for factual information (not to establish GNG because it is not independent). I am not overly worried about it but this doesn’t make sense to me. Rikster2 ( talk) 14:26, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Refsworldlee. Nice work on this article. I would suggest adding additional appropriate categories, and including the article in appropriate Wikiprojects. I would also recommend including a 'photo requested' template on the talk page.

I wouldn’t say I incorrectly removed him, his article was created after I deleted him in accordance with the redlink removal format. Rusted AutoParts 17:09, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
You know where. Those six extra letters, like most words, make a difference. Anyway, life's too short; follow your heart. InedibleHulk ( talk) 12:59, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
