Invitation to Project 1989

Hey, hey, hey! Just thinking while you've been getting down with all these article reviews and DYK nominations in this platform, so I have invited you to this. sick. project.

All puns aside, I, have invited you to join my little project, Project 1989, which is made to expand Wikipedia's coverage of Taylor Swift's 1989 era. It would mainly focus on creating articles and improving them to GA/FA statuses, but given your track record with articles on Wikipedia, I know places where you can put your experience to good use.

Interested? Drop by this project's article and sign your name on the list, there is too many blank spaces there. You can still help out a bit if you want to. Thanks! brachy08 _{(chat here lol)} 02:35, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Duplicate parameters

When removing deprecated parameters and replacing them, please make sure you are not duplicating them. I have noticed in a lot of your edits, you are duplicating parameters which are causing them not to appear in the infobox. Please be careful when making future edits.

Thanks for notifying me. I will discontinue further edits. – The Sharpest Lives (💬•✏️•ℹ️) (ping me!) 04:30, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi The Sharpest Lives. Thank you for your work on Pak Afghan Clearing. Another editor, Voorts, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Please make sure that your redirects are to the target page, not another redirect page. Please also remember to tag redirects that you create per WP:REDCAT. An easy to use redirect user script is User:Eejit43/scripts/redirect-helper.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Voorts}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi The Sharpest Lives. Thank you for your work on King Afonso II. Another editor, Voorts, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Please be careful when you redirect ambiguous titles. There are multiple King Alfonso IIs and the base name "Alfonso II" is at a disambiguation page, not redirected to one of the many kings with this name.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Voorts}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

DYK for No Obligation

On 15 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article No Obligation, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Linda Lindas wrote No Obligation, their second album, during breaks from school and touring? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/No Obligation. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, No Obligation), 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.
