I love football and consider myself a good football player. I emulate you. My dream is to see you up close, I don't think this dream will come true. I want to show you my talent. I live in Bangladesh. --

- The HTML used to render all headings
is being changed to improve accessibility. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and
report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a
Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.

The page was protected with an edit made only half way. The last line in the list (Exarchate under the jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church in America (itself not part of Greek Orthodoxy)) was the header of the Albanian Archdiocese within OCA. Without it, the header could be deleted. I would do it myself, but I am not an editor. THanks.

- @
Coquidragon.. and you found yourself able to edit it now. :) I had a longer message about waiting for the protection to lapse, but you had already done it. Hopefully it does not bring about much contention while the discussion is still on ongoing!

how do you get the motivation to edit actively for multiple years for almost nothing in return, do you have a job? --

- @
Jeees777, glad that you had asked. I have a job, but both do not interfere with each other.
- See
https://xkcd.com/386/ It sums up perfectly the primary motivation. And the environment here is conducive for discourse to happen.
- After awhile, you gain a
community here. Or
two. Or
three. Or on and on and on... Over time you will develop friendships with others here, sharing the same goal of building the repository of
open knowledge be it by content, technical or other types of contributions.

Hey, Robert, I hope you are well. I recently discovered the
NPP school. There is a lot of information available on that page, except for one thing that I also want to know: What will happen after completing the school? Will the graduate be granted NPP rights?

- @
Grabup, not sure. I didn't go through it. I went through the rough and tumble of AFC first before doing NPP. But looking at those who were previously trained, the graduates are typically granted the right if there are no further issues found by the reviewing admin. Of course, at the very least, the minimum conditions of granting the rights are still applicable. One should not use NPP school as a shortcut into getting the rights.

- Thanks for the information, I am also going throught AfC reviewing, till now I have reviewed 280 articles and thank you for granting me Rollback rights. I am actively countering vandalism with
AntiVandal.

On
25 May 2024,
Did you know was updated with a fact from the article
2024 Southeast Asia heat wave, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that due to a
2024 heat wave in Southeast Asia,
heat indices in the Philippines rose to dangerous levels, as high as 51 °C (124 °F)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at
Template:Did you know nominations/2024 Southeast Asia heat wave. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (
here's how,
2024 Southeast Asia heat wave), and the hook may be added to
the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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,
I am working to add new articles for journalists covering Southeast Asia. I have just added a first, but I spent several days preparing it. It is for France 24 journalist Matt Hunt, the regional correspondent. I am sure I made the page properly, but I want to check with you for guidance. Will keep editing in the meantime.
Thank you. --

- @
Journowatch, I declined the draft as It totally fails
WP:GNG and
WP:JOURNALIST. It requires multiple in-depth coverages from independent, reliable sources. Being a journalist doesn’t make him notable. To establish notability, it requires coverage of the subject. See
WP:GNG and
WP:JOURNALIST.

Journowatch: As I said, it requires multiple “in-depth” coverages from independent, reliable sources. The sources you recently added are just passing mentions and can’t really establish notability. Read
WP:SIGCOV to learn what in-depth means!

Grabup cut the page down, including all non-related sources per the guidelines sent. Added more links to fuller coverage of his work from independent sources. Now, I cannot "resubmit" as it's still pending, but I have saved/published the changes.
