Five minutes to help make WikiProjects better edit

Hello!

First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)

Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej (talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Akosua Agyapong edit

Hello Rberchie,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Akosua Agyapong for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 14:07, 11 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello User:OluwaCurtis please check the page again Akosua is a renowned musician in Ghana. I do not see anything promotional about the page and besides it is a stub. I will appreciate it if you can remove the speedy deletion tag since the promotional tag does not hold. Regards.--Rberchie (talk) 14:58, 11 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I guess I still had your talk page on my watchlist from previous discussions, and I was surprised to see this nomination as you have been here a while and seem to have a pretty solid grasp of content policies. And that is exactly what I found. I have no idea what the nominator or the deleting admin were thinking, this did not read like an ad at all. Hat being the case, I have restored it. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:33, 11 September 2015 (UTC)Reply


Thanks Beeblebrox I am really grateful for your intervention. I have missed my autopatrol status. Regards--Rberchie (talk) 19:52, 11 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for September 12 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Seafood edit

 

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.

It's a redirect, not a stub, I just messed up the formatting. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:51, 13 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Citations on Peter Goodhand edit

Dear Rberchie,

Did you mark the page Peter Goodhand as not having enough citations on August 31? If so, can you please remove the tag now? It has 17 citations.

Thanks for your help.

Still awaiting response on Peter Goodhand article edit

Dear Rberchie,

Please see my talk entry from a few days ago regarding the article on Peter Goodhand. You left a tag on that article marking it for additional citations. The article has 17 citations now, which is more lines than the article itself! If you disagree with my request to remove this tag, please explain why.

Thanks for your help, Vernickia (talk) 14:06, 28 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Vernickia sorry for the late response I have reverted the edits sorry about that.Regards--Rberchie (talk) 07:49, 30 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
