Valerie Broussard

You haven't even read my comments about this article... Old --- why have you dumped the page I had loaded and was working on? Wiki said someone was editing at the same time and now its gone, so thanks I guess.Small text Missbellanash (talk) 15:34, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

@Missbellanash: Hi there! I read your comments at Misplaced Pages:Teahouse#Valerie Broussard draft and Draft:Valerie Broussard before I declined it. You can go into the draft history and retrieve anything that was accidentally removed. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 15:44, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Batty! It's too late. I backed up over and over the browser dumped when the contents changed. This is a problem that will probably persist in user-land, it's dangerous to try to keep things, and they really want browsers to reliably reload more than trying to protect any work we might have.

Mmm, how about you just fetch it for me. Happy Copy and Pasting!! Missbellanash (talk) 16:04, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

@Missbellanash: If you're referring to this text, you can copy and paste it. If you're referring to text you typed but were unable to save due to an edit conflict, then that's not in the page history. If you use the back arrow in your browser enough times, you might be able to retrieve it locally. Declining a draft and edit conflicts are not vandalism.

@GoingBatty: I have to apologize for the remark above, that was uncalled for and out of place. I'm sincerely sorry for typing that. Ok, I have read you comment and will agree with you. Thank you for all of your input and consideration, the template below is safe!! Bye now! Missbellanash (talk) 12:03, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Please do not delete the AFC template or my comments. GoingBatty (talk) 16:12, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi dear GoingBatty

Hi dear GoingBatty, I wonder what's the exact problem with my article?

I've never been a wiki edit user and I don't know about the wiki rules. I've accepted the last edit by you as a professional edit user and resubmitted, but it declined again...

All I want is just to submit the article on Misplaced Pages.

Would you please edit the whole article, according to the wiki rules as you know all about them, that I'm really confused between. I really don't want to receive the "Submission declined" notice again.

@Anahitataaa: Hi there! At the top of your draft, it states "The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Misplaced Pages's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners", which contains four links to the "wiki rules":

• "minimum standard for inline citations"
• "cite"
• "footnotes"
• "Referencing for beginners"

If you would like your draft to become an article, please click on each link, read it in full, and create the footnotes accordingly. Creating a new article is one of the hardest things to do on Misplaced Pages, especially when you have an apparent conflict of interest, which you should disclose on your user page. Happy editing!

Bot edits

Hi GB. Why is your bot making edits like this with AWB, when the rules of use state "Do not make insignificant or inconsequential edits. An edit that has no noticeable effect on the rendered page is generally considered an insignificant edit"? Thanks. Lugnuts 19:05, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

@Lugnuts: Will answer at User:BattyBot#Bot edits. Thanks for the heads up! GoingBatty (talk) 19:27, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! Lugnuts 19:32, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Question about a draft

Is there any problems with the Draft:Prende TV? ItsJustdancefan (talk) 01:53, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

@ItsJustdancefan: I did some copyediting for you and added a WikiProject template to the talk page. As I've mentioned before, it would be nice to see more references from after the launch date that didn't seem like press releases. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 03:13, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Johnny Bacolas Early Life section

Greetings GoingBatty.

I hope this isn't too big of an issue but I took the liberty of removing the Citation tag that you put on the aforementioned article section after making a few tweaks. By all means feel free to examine the changes I made and message me if there are any other concerns. Thank you. Shaneymike (talk) 01:49, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

@Shaneymike: Thanks for letting me know and for adding the references. I fixed the formatting of the references to remove the errors. Please review my edits to make sure they're correct. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 01:56, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

2022 Major League Baseball Season article

They Are 5 References on but is it enough to be an article contact the reviewer please. 98.186.54.177 (talk) 20:02, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Everything in Draft:2022 Major League Baseball season needs to be referenced. I added some tags to help you see what is unreferenced. I also helped comment out the empty sections. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 20:11, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

But I have Had bad luck with drafting articles. 98.186.54.177 (talk) 20:39, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Read each sentence and ask yourself "Where did I read this information?" Then provide that source as the reference. GoingBatty (talk) 20:40, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thanks for your kind feedback. Please, can you assist me on how to declare the conflict of Interest? ... I find wikipedia a bit complicated. Members have assisted me so far in going as far as I have gone. Jdunkwu (talk) 06:53, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

@Jdunkwu: Hi there! You can go to your user page and type {{UserboxCOI|Draft:Peter Adinma Dunkwu}} and then click the blue "Publish changes" button. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 12:43, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I deleted three Barnstars that Jdunkwu blessed me with and asked to stop with the Barnstars every time asking for help on editors' Talk pages. David notMD (talk) 14:15, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

MfactDr threatening falsely with vandalism

Hi, MfactDr is challenging me as I address in WP:Help desk that he continue to restore the non-reliable sources and using personal attacks and opinion at Oromia. He reverted your edit placing the template. He also agreed at Talk:Oromia that he would find federal government official website for the status Addis Ababa or Finfinne after adding unwarranted trivial primary sources. MfactDr said by his word "If you are looking for recent federal government website source I will add to the source. your complained settled!" and agreed with WP:DISCUSSCONSENSUS. Please take a measure. Regards The Supermind (talk) 12:28, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Now he accuse me for vandalism at Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. The Supermind (talk) 12:33, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

@The Supermind: Sorry you're having a hard time with this article. I suggest you do not accuse editors of creating sources unless you have definitive proof of their involvement with the web site coding. Although you stated "Are you saying this source is reliable? That site obviously created by yourself recently", the link you provided is to the Internet Archive showing a version of web site from 2008. I hope you are able to find the independent reliable sources you desire, and that editors from WP:WikiProject Ethiopia will respond to your request and provide their opinions. You can also add |attention=yes to the WikiProject templates on the talk page if you like. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 13:09, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

@GoingBatty:: But he falsely deceived as official website of the government of Ethiopia. In fact the site is not Ethiopian government and has unique interface. Then continue presenting this as a reliable source. That's very annoying because it has no declaration of Ethiopian government whether Finfinne is Addis Ababa and features schedule of region address. That's empty, not information. And this one is quite irrelevant to the subject. What do you think about that? The Supermind (talk) 15:27, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
