Hi Smjg, you reverted my edit without checking. I have deleted wrong redirect from Nick Santonastasso to a wrong person, some Vitaly Zdorovetskiy which is not him at all. Somebody is trying to get some fame for Vitaly on Nicks' count. reverting your edit. pls do not change.

Hello Smjg, Sorry by accident I havent filled it yet. So it is indeed my fault I left it Blank. I saw a redirection from Sheen Khalai to Kakar Pashtun tribe. Sheen khalai does not refer to a tribe, the person who did that does not know the meaning of it. Sheen khalai literally means Blue face dots (which Pashtun and Baloch wear all over the Afghanistan area). It does not refer to any specific tribe. How can I can change that and how should I tackle that? Should I make a new wiki page for it?Casperti (talk) 13:41, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
You have to read the page before you tag it, especially if it contains templates like ((in use)), ((under construction)) and ((in creation)), because chances are the page authors are still actively working on them. Tagging the Rock and Roll lists as A3 messed up my edits because I was in the middle of editing them. Please keep this in mind next time. Rob3512 chat? what I did 12:53, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello Smjg - I'm not sure I agree with you about My Two Loves (disambiguation) being G6 and not G8. It is a redirect that targets a page that is not a disambiguation page. WP:G8 is for "Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page" e.g. "redirects to invalid targets, such as non-existent targets, redirect loops, and bad titles". This seems much more appropriate that WP:G6 which doesn't have an example that seems appropriate to these cases. Note that ((db-disambig))
has been moved from G6 to WP:G14. The difference is pretty trivial, anyway, so long as it's deleted! Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:02, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
If Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 and Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4 have Wikipedia articles, why Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1 and Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 don’t have it? BamZ412 (talk) 11:53, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
Sorry for being like this. I’ve only realised this when 1.02 editor redirected Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 and Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4. I thanked him for doing this. Please forgive me. BamZ412 (talk) 13:10, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
I only joined on 7 June 2019.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated files))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated files))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:48, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Howdy. I blank the article First Lady of Sudan, because it had the wrong content. It was about the Vice President of Sudan & so I blanked. The article creator has been making many errors on Wikipedia, since his arrival yesterday. GoodDay (talk) 13:09, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

You tagged the article with a template "globalize". An IP removed it. Should that have been done?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:12, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Boomphones Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:28, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Dear Smjg,
I believe you were the last editor of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_marked_graph
Can you add some more information to the article so that: - the figure is cited - a specific reference is made to resource places e.g. "Examples of resource places are the places r1 and r2 shown in figure..." ?

I can't describe how grateful I am because you are contributing to Wikipedia. Imagine hundreds of millions of people who are reading Wikipedia every day to find accurate information.

Do not revert pages to random old versions when you edit them. I am referring to the Stock Aitken Waterman discography. I fixed the dates to be in the proper format but you reverted it to an older version of the page which contained no references, incomplete entries (everything post-1994), and incorrect dates. Do not do that. I will come to West Sussex, so help me God. JMwins19 (talk) 18:02, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
I am surprised that your criticism is of me and not of a horrifying garbage page with (1) a name that has never existed anywhere and (2) "gustav"! Did you even read the edit summary & talk page, or did you just assume I am a newbie who needs your reprimand? I am in a huge rush today. Saw the garbage & did what I did hoping someone (like you?) would see to it that the page is tossed, not reinstated so that the garbage redirects to the king of Sweden. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Response to your message re. Blanking of Miss Molly:
Buddleja Lo & Behold 'Miss Molly' has been moved to Buddleja 'Miss Molly' in response to my request. I am editing the article and its name to update it. During the editing and moving process, Miss Molly, which had redirected to Miss Susie and has a similar name to Buddleja Lo & Behold 'Miss Molly', was blanked when the redirection was temporarily removed to simplify the move.
Miss Molly now redirects to Miss Susie, as it did before the editing and moving process began. Buddleja 'Miss Molly' is not blank, as it contains much of the information that was in Buddleja Lo & Behold 'Miss Molly'. Everything should now be correct. Corker1 (talk) 14:29, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

The page Victorian Railways D class (1887) just contains a redirect to Victorian Railways D class (1876). I removed it as these are 2 different locomotives. Blank pages are harmful, but incorrect redirect are more harmful and confusing. There was no way of reverting it as it was the only revision.

I see your point. But wouldn't it be better then, to simply say, "There are currently three territories sometimes said to be terra nullius." The border dispute isn't causing these areas to be terra nullius because no one is claiming them. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 12:19, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
@Aemilius Adolphin: Hmm. I suppose it depends on how you define a border dispute. Is it still a dispute if each country's position is favourable to the other? Where this is partially the case, is said part part of the dispute? For example, does "Egypt–Sudan border dispute" mean just the dispute over the Halaib Triangle, or the whole disagreement over where the border between the two countries lies (north of Bir Tawil and south of the Halaib Triangle, or vice versa)? — Smjg (talk) 20:29, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

In MsWord, the command to reveal the markup is "display codes". There are a bunch of them, for example Ms uses the generic Currency sign (typography) (¤) to mark end of each cell in a table. I agree that the wording could be improved but I don't think your version is any better. It is wandering off topic to list all the markup codes revealed when "reveal" [or whatever we call it]] is active. Can we work together to resolve? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:40, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
