G12 tagging

Hi there, when you tag for G12, please put the URL of the copyvio location into the template, not the URL of the earwig link. So, for the one I just actioned for you, the URL that should have been there is https://www.arlis.umd.edu/about/who-we-are. The scripts we use to do these deletions don't work properly otherwise. Thanks! -- asilvering (talk) 18:52, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Revert on Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Hello. I noticed this revert you made. I don't see a reason for it, and you didn't leave a note on the users page? OXYLYPSE (talk) 17:37, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

The edit added a typo. "or" shouldn't be there because it also says "unless" TheWikipede (talk) 17:38, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
Ah I see. That whole sentence isn't amazingly phrased, so I think I understand what the IP editor was trying to do. OXYLYPSE (talk) 17:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
I've split it into separate sentences instead :) OXYLYPSE (talk) 08:59, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Fashion of Elizabeth II (November 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Pokelego999 was:
This article looks promising and has had some good work done. However, there are many sections without text that are entirely uncited, and much of the article reads like an image gallery. I acknowledge that this was not submitted by the original creator, so to the submitter, please make sure you check with the original page author and ensure the article is in a complete and finished state before you nominate a Draft made by someone else.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

HH. not a test

Hello MouseCursor, thank you for your contribution to the article: Aaron Boakye-Danquah. I just want to state that the prefix HH. is not a test, but a legitimate title for Mr. Aaron Boakye-Danquah as stated in the referenced article (1). On the official page of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in The Netherlands, He is duly addressed as HH. in recognition of nobility. (https://swisschamberofcommerce.ch/about-us/).
