Proposed deletion of Aï Keïta Yara

edit
 

The article Aï Keïta Yara has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

NN actor... fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi! I think you may have removed a lot more than you intended on [1]. You may want to take a peek and make sure it was intentional :) Cheers, Snowolf How can I help? 18:11, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for letting me know, I'm not sure how that happened at all! Gingermead (talk) 18:13, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Your Guild of Copy Editors requests

edit

Gingermead, you've made three requests on the WP:GOCER page so far this month; unfortunately, the limit is set to two. As it says at the top of the requests page, You may have up to two open requests at any one time. So not only will you have to remove one of your requests, you won't be able to add any until one of your requests has been completed, something that may take a couple of months to occur.

I'm sorry for the bad news. You can remove any of the three you've made so far; it doesn't have to be the most recent one added. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:53, 9 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that, thanks for letting me know. I've removed one of my requests now. Gingermead (talk) 22:55, 9 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Template:Being worked on vs Template:In use

You'll want to use the second one in articles btw. The first one is for discussions noticeboards like WP:BOTN. I've updated Hatshepsut accordingly. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:49, 22 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

GAN for Michael Manley

edit

Hi Gingermead, I noticed you've put in a GAN for Michael Manley. Per the Good Article instructions, GA nominators are expected to be significant contributors to articles they nominate. It looks like you only have 3% authorship of the article. Are you sure you're sufficiently familiar with the article to be able to guide it through the GA process? ♠PMC(talk) 02:15, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
