- Hi Yngvadottir, Thank you for your attention and welcome, However yes, I have noticed that i used wrong tag and i mean no harm to that user who created AR.Freeflight, I'm not a new user i've been Wikipedian since 2006 (having over 200 edits) which i basically switched account from my old account i had deleted it due to personal reasons. I do also have necessary knowledges in Misplaced Pages but not an expertise, Following the speedy deletion tag A7: No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events) was never added by me it was added by different user however i have added mistakenly used this tag G7, I apologise. I'm surprised that another user whom called: 59.158.247.90 did have corrected the tag.
- I would kindly seek help from you, Could you please add semi-protection for an article for Ali Moulana with a term indefinitely? PrinceSulaiman (talk) 18:45, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
