You recently created the article Dougie Nyaupembe. I want to draw your attention to the fact that we already have an article on Douglas Nyaupembe who seems to be the same person. Therefore I think that both articles should be merged. -- Proofreader ( talk) 17:03, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi No Great Shaker, I noticed that you reverted someone's edit to the tzatziki article, where you had said "source needed". I was able to find many reliable sources for the information with a simple Google books search, so I undid your revert and added a citation.
I see on your user page that you consider that the quality of Wikipedia articles is often brought down by editors who add content that is out of scope, or unverified, or badly written. You are completely correct about that! However, the question becomes how to deal with it. You noted "whenever I find anything at all questionable in terms of scope, verification or bad English, it gets the chop. Immediately." Please consider that in many cases, material that has been added without a corresponding reliable source is still valuable, if a source can be found. Information should only be removed if it's likely to be unverifiable, not only unverified by a citation. WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM describes some approaches to dealing with problematic content. For unsourced material, it suggests instead of removing content from an article, "doing a quick search for sources and adding a citation yourself". This is part of Wikipedia's editing policy, which all editors should normally follow. Thanks for your understanding... -- IamNotU ( talk) 14:34, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

For what it's worth, my understanding is that this is a perfectly reputable source. It is used by the majority of professional statisticians, and communicates directly with the ICC to clarify scorecards and classifications of matches. I can't speak for who runs it these days (it used to be part of the publishing house behind The Cricketer magazine, but I think they split again), but I have no qualms about it being used as a source. That is unrelated to the problem of permastubs, however. Harrias talk 19:51, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for looking at St. Peter's Church (Queenstown, Maryland). I have taken your advice (and that of Acroterian) and changed the very last citation from a web page (with the scroll down advice) to a book. The old web citation is still there, but commented out. The "trouble-maker" citation in the Info box is still there—hopefully that problem will be fixed everywhere soon, and I want to be consistent with other pages that discuss something in the National Register of Historic Places. The trouble with the National Register link is why I used the Maryland Historical Trust (the second citation) to link to a copy of the National Register Nomination Form. The church and its history was fun to work on—a nice break from my usual American Civil War or glass making. It is the second church Wikipedia article for me, and I have two more that I plan to do.

A tag has been placed on Category:Populated places established in the 10th millennium BC requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

An article you recently created,
List of ministers in the Churchill wartime government, 1940–1945, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

What made you think Solo diving was written in American English using mdy dates? The text uses "programmes" in the first paragraph. A quick check shows "organisations" "pressurises", "categorise" and other anglicised spellings throughout, and obviously isn't en-us. Similarly almost every date in the wikitext is in dmy style. -- RexxS ( talk) 22:38, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Early life of Winston Churchill requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://monovisions.com/vintage-young-winston-churchill-1884-1904/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello No Great Shaker. I've decided to write you here directly as I'm concerned about the Early life of Winston Churchill article that you have written. The article is very good, however what concerns me is that a big chunk of info is copied from the monovisions.com. I wanted to ask you if you are the author of the text there and have the rights for it, cause the webpage doesn't seem to be public domain. I have nominated it as copyright violations are handled seriously here, but if you can check the fair use of the text, the article can be saved (which I really hope for).

I am new to editing Wikipedia pages but if I understand correctly you have rejected my revision of the Rolling Stones page concerning when the band started using Toronto for tour rehearsals.

Hello, Gerda. I'm sorry to tell you that I have decided to quit the site. I am struggling to find time for it anyway but I've become completely disillusioned and can do without it. I'd like to thank you personally for your kindness, help and friendship. All the best and keep safe. No Great Shaker ( talk) 05:47, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hey, I saw this having just looked at Piccadilly line's GA review. I've taken several sabbaticals and breaks, but eventually I find there's an article that needs some work, so I come back and do that. So have a break and see how you feel in a while. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:36, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Likewise. We had a very good interaction on the Churchill caretaker ministry review. I was pinged on the GAR that just happened and I was surprised to see what went on – the other two parties were not without fault, but you let your emotions and stress levels get the better of you. Alas it's happened to all of us, myself most definitely included. If you do decide to come back at some point, remember that at the end of the day this is a volunteer activity and it's fine to just do what you want to do, when you are able to, and ignore everything else.

I'm sorry to see this, NGS, but sometimes walking away is the only sensible thing to do in here. I do hope you will come back. Best regards, SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 18:22, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
See you soon. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA talk 16:09, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
On 18 November 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 1902 FA Cup Final, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after awarding a controversial goal in the 1902 FA Cup Final, referee Tom Kirkham took refuge in a broom cupboard to evade angry goalkeeper William "Fatty" Foulke (pictured)?

I don't know if these are still as "fashionable" as they once were, but I wanted to acknowledge the work you went to in the PR. Although the PR has now been closed, I still have some aspects of the article improve, though have mostly worked through your suggestions and hope to take it to GA in the near future!

Hi there. I stepped away from the Winston Churchill article many years ago (some 13 in fact) after getting it to GA but just took a look now for the first time in years. I notice it has finally got its GA status back and see that it was in a large part down to your efforts. I know how difficult this task must have been. Please accept this barnstar. Well done.

The article 1901 FA Cup Final you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:1901 FA Cup Final for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Greetings and happy 2021. I hope that all is well.
I wanted to draw your attention to a GA and TFA nomination which probably needs some diplomatic involvement. A user nominated the article Invisible disability for GA and is himself/herself reviewing the same article ( here). The user also nominated the article for TFA ( here), even though it's not even GA. Venicescapes ( talk) 16:59, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I'm continuing my efforts to remove dross. If I take a lot of entries out of a particular Year/Date article, it could unbalance the sections you've created. Would you like me to amend them myself, or would you prefer me to leave it to you to decide whether/when it needs to be done? Deb ( talk) 11:18, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
