Hello. This is where I learned from your book. Can you send it to me? Футболло ( talk) 22:29, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
I see that some biographical articles you made are being discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (WP:AFD). Can I introduce you to the concept of people notable only for one event. Have a look at WP:BLP1E and WP:SINGLEEVENT. If you want to write a biography of someone, try to make it clear in the article that they are notable for more than just one event. If they are only notable for one event, then the article needs to make it clear that the event they were notable for was a big thing, and that they took a big part in that event - this is explained at WP:BLP1E.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:59, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for expanding the article on Sofia Mazagatos. I have tried to improve the completion of citation templates and the infobox. [1] -- Toddy1 (talk) 09:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

I saw your article on Jackie Miley. A problem it has is that you do not fill the citation templates sufficiently. This obscures the subject's notability. You have citations from CBS News, The Times of India, The Hindustan Times, etc. but the citations only have the article title. They do not mention the newspaper/work, the date of publication, or the article authors. But omitting these details you are shooting yourself in the foot.-- Toddy1 (talk) 15:28, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Dr. Swett's Root Beer is a really good article. Great job! BoyTheKingCanDance ( talk) 07:32, 18 March 2023 (UTC) |
Nice work with Leamon Hall. I corrected a few minor issues, but it was mostly good. BTW, consider when citing Newspapers.com to use clippings (for example [2]) rather than plain matches on a page (like [3]) - that way the reader can view the article without having to pay for a subscription. Also, remember to put at the bottom of a biography, one spot above the categories, something saying {{DEFAULTSORT:LAST NAME, FIRST NAME}} - to be honest I'm unsure of what its for, but I believe its supposed to be on all bios.

In the new look, the language switcher has moved to the upper corner, instead of the lower sidebar. I'm not involved in that work myself, but I believe it's proven to be a more visible, and therefore more used, feature in the new arrangement. It took me a long time to get used to the new location, though. Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 00:42, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
Noting this at
Addin Tyldesley; it's wrong to use |publication-place=web
in citations. Have a look at the guidance under both "place" and "publication-place" at
Template:Cite_web/doc#Publisher. Thanks.

Hey, you were asking why so many Mortal Kombat characters have been at AFD lately at the Kabal AFD. Well, what happened was a chain reaction of an editor nominating Skarlet for a merge. From there, several other MK character went to AFD, with most resulting in a merge and only a few resulting in keep. I don't agree with all the merging myself. I try to come up with the best arguments for keeping the articles when I can.
What you should do is provide reliable sources that discuss the characters at AFD (and make sure they aren't mere passing mentions), as these tends to help your arguments. MoonJet ( talk) 02:38, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
If you find a dead link, open up web.archive.org and paste the url of the dead link in the box displayed there. If the page has been archived, it will show you a selection of dates it has been archived on. It is usually best to choose the earliest.
In the citation template there are fields for archive URLs, and this is how to complete them:
If you complete the citation template correctly, this produces:
Clicking on the title takes you to the archive-url, and clicking on "the original" takes you to the original url.
Note that with newspaper articles, we want the date of the article, not the year.
Sometimes it is useful to add an archive URL even though the URL still works. In that case fill in the |url-status=live This produces:
You see the difference? Clicking on the title takes you to the original URL, and clicking on "archived" takes you to the archive-url.
Sometimes a URL works, but leads to a different article than it did when cited. In that case use |url-status=usurped This produces:
{{
cite news}}
: CS1 maint: unfit URL (
link)Clicking on the title takes you to the archive-url.
This situation happens when people give the URL for the front page of a news site instead of the URL for the article; often the right thing to do is to use the archived version of the front page to find the URL of the article and then change the URL to the article URL as well as providing an archive URL. -- Toddy1 (talk) 11:32, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi KatoKungLee, I see that you are using the newspapers.com website via WP:LIBRARY. One small problem is that links to http://www-newspapers-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org only bring the viewer to the article if they are logged in to WP, have 500 edits and meet other criteria. It is better to create an account over at newspapers.com, clip the article and then rewrite the URL of the clipped article to use https://www.newspapers.com. Then, that link will work for non-logged in users. I have some notes about how to do this at User:Cxbrx#Newspapers.com_links. If you try to create an account at newspapers.com and have trouble, then please let me know! Cxbrx ( talk) 12:49, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Princess Anna of Saxony (1903–1976). Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. 62.181.221.7 ( talk) 08:44, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Just noting that you might be interested in knowing that I expanded Anthony Vaz and moved him back to mainspace. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 23:30, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello, KatoKungLee,
I was just looking at an AFD where you commented I think the coverage is enough to warrant this staying
. This kind of comment doesn't help an admin or NAC closing a discussion. Please try to be more specific...which sources do you believe provide SIGCOV? Have you looked for additional sources yourself? What did you find that might help Keep an article? Please mention them in the AFD discussion.
Please avoid making generic comments where it isn't clear if you evaluated the existing sources or the content of the article in any depth. I appreciate your participation in deletion discussions but if you want your remarks to influence closing decisions, it would be welcome if you provided more specific information on why an article should be Kept or Deleted. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 03:06, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
