| Hi there, | |||
| Hello ''Books & Bytes'' subscribers. There is a new Visual Editor reference feature in development called ]. It is designed to "auto-fill" references using a ] or ]. We would really appreciate you testing whether TWL partners' references work in Citoid. Sharing your results will help the developers fix bugs and improve the system. If you have a few minutes, please visit the ''']''' for simple instructions on how to try this new tool. Regards, ] (]) 18:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC) | |||
| You recently deleted a draft biography page I created for an author, Frank Golding, on the grounds that the sources were largely from the subject himself. I tried to include a substantial amount of source from reputable newspapers and archives, but I would be happy to return to the draft and add more if it could be restored. Finally, if there is any wikipedia guidance on striking a balance for sources for memoirists that would be helpful - the details of the subject's biography are of course sometimes unavoidably best drawn from his own published work because memoir is about the self. Many thanks for your consideration. ] (]) 02:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)DeEsCeHa | |||

| You have recently deleted ] from Wikipidia. I am a Grad Student who has recently seen some of his works, and would like to make a WIKI page for him. However, When i tried to make a page for Eryc Taylor Dance Inc., it was deleted for plagerism and promoting his brand? I felt like it was a very objective take on his work, and I recieve permission from Eryc himself to use his website BIO information. What do i need to provide in order for the wiki page "Eryc Taylor" to be in compliance with WIKI rules? | |||

This is a change to a I made last night. If you are able to just look in to ensure guidelines are being followed and no games are being played, that would be most appreciated.

| ::Most kind of you to respond. I think this is more of a behavioural issue, though, which needs an objective observer. There are long time users completely misrepresenting the guidelines and being vindictive with edit warring templates, as well as tag teaming. Regardless of the state of the article, this behaviour isn't going to change until it is addressed. If you have any suggestions regarding that, I'm all ears.

Could you please clarify, so I can adjust the Portuguese to read better? Thanks. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 13:13, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
