List of henchmen of James Bond villains Davidgoodheart (talk) 21:52, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Sadly I did not get this in time. It had been deleted. But if you wait a few months or similar. I think a re-creation of the article with better sourcing and more info are possible. Hope everything is good with you. I am all up in Christmas time prep mode. --BabbaQ (talk) 12:27, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- How is everything? Just when I was promised computer help, the person who was supposed to help me had to take care of something urgent. I really want to make private wikis and will revive the good articles that were deleted and add them to my private lists. Could you please review this article Hervé de Vathaire, add some sources to it, and start the talk page. Soon I will add it to the List of fugitives from justice who disappeared. Davidgoodheart (talk) 07:34, 28 December 2019 (UTC) (talk) 07:33, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- I’m good! Ok, nice to hear that your work is progressing. BabbaQ (talk) 09:20, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- Take a look at the contributions I made on the article you requested. BabbaQ (talk) 15:10, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- Great! I will be getting online computer help this week. Please see if you can expand this article Glenford Spencer as much as you can. Davidgoodheart (talk) 01:31, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
- I added one line of info and a source. This will likely keep it from being nominated for deletion at least. Not much info to be found sadly. Though interesting case. BabbaQ (talk) 10:54, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Do you think that you could add some entries to the List of fugitives from justice who disappeared? I am sure you could easily figure out how to by clicking on view history. I have been adding many people to the list mostly by myself and could really use some help. The article gets over 1000 views per day! So it is well worth adding to. I can give you some entries to add. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:53, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

This should be reversed as fast as possible since there is no source, and we do not know that he has died. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:40, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Agree. Done.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:55, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thx. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:19, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Oops - you have already been reverted there! --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:20, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- But now reverted back again. BabbaQ (talk) 14:21, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Quite a little war there! Looks like the IP is a vandal. How unworthy! --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:22, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- But now reverted back again. BabbaQ (talk) 14:21, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
De Laval has in fact died, according now to friends of mine on Facebook. But we'll have to wait for a publication. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:33, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- I have created an article about him. I am not at home right now so the article is not the best. But take a look.BabbaQ (talk) 16:15, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Looks fine. Short but OK for now. His credits are the main thing for notability.
- I am surprised that Ulf Sundberg has no article at svWP. There is an article about another person by the same name. Perhaps sv:Ulf Sundberg (historiker) would be a good idea. Happy New Year BabbaQ! --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:26, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Done now by somebody else who saw & translated the English article. There is at least one typo there. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 22:06, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- I have been away during the holidays and will be back at my computer later today. Good.BabbaQ (talk) 12:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Regarding article Dagny Carlsson I have added both jobs, as I don't know whether her form of employment is a blogger, as writing a blog is not really an occupation so I have added both blogger and seamstress, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.42.102.44 (talk) 01:31, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Errors
At sv:Spiros Xénos his 2nd wife is mentioned twice and the year of that marriage is also mentioned twice but with a 5-tear discrepancy. Perhaps the year should just be removed? It could be explained that he remarried after Elin died in 1926. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 09:33, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
- Removed it all together. There is no point in having it mentioned twice.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:02, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thanx. If we could mention that he remarried after his first wife's death (i.e. no divorce), that would be great. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:43, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

How is everything?
Hi, how have you been? I have been trying to kelp lately, but have gotten none, which is very frustrating. I hope all is well with you. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:46, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
- Kelp? You mean help?. Anyway, I hope everything is good with you as well. I have had my hands full with some articles for a few weeks. Hope to hear from you soon.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:42, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
- When it comes to helping you. Of course I can help you with a few tasks. But just friend to friend, I think you also need to realize a few things. Those editors that you ask for help from also have edits to be made or articles to be written. And just as you have perhaps limited time and energy to do so. To ask for help is not a bad thing I do it from time to time, but sometimes doing it yourself is better than asking 3-4 other editors to do it. I mean this in a positive note as you do a lot of productive edits, but Rome was not built in one day... and sometimes you perhaps rush to get Rome built and the wheel to be invented in an afternoon. May I also suggest taking a Wikibreak once in a while, I know that it is interesting and fun to edit Wikipedia, but when a person in online and edit everyday 365 days a year it is easy to become "wiki obsessed", trust me I have been there and nowadays I am off-wiki at least a few times a month. Again, I write all of this as a friend, to help you not get overworked. --BabbaQ (talk) 00:18, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, yes I meant help, thanks for noticing the typo. Thanks for the kinds words, I will get back to you soon. Take care. Davidgoodheart (talk) 07:38, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, I know you suggested taking wiki breaks, which I often do, but Wikipedia is almost like a part time job for me and one of my major ways of contributing to society. I have concerns about taking wiki breaks and other wiki issues that I will share with you soon. I know that you care about my well being and your concerns are valid, so I will try not to over do it though. All the best for now. Davidgoodheart (talk) 07:21, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- Right now, I am facing many issues in my life that are very serious. I probably will have to stay home until Tuesday, which I don't really care to do, but I can do many productive things from home. One good thing is that I AM going to have that computer help very soon as it have been confirmed to me. I see that you won editor of the week award before, that's very impressive!

DYK reviews
BabbaQ, I have just had to add "subst:" to the "dyktick" templates in your recent reviews because the bot doesn't know that you've approved them unless you use "subst:dyktick" inside the braces.
Also, a full review should also include checks for neutrality and for copyvio/close paraphrasing, neither of which you mentioned. If you haven't done those checks, please return and do them as soon as possible; if you did do the checks, then you should mention them, along with any other checks you may have done. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:29, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Required notice for articles related to the Syrian Civil War
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions. ST47 (talk) 08:08, 10 October 2019 (UTC)This week's article for improvement (week 42, 2019)

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎ 21:42, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

The pilot in command of an aircraft is the person aboard who is ultimately responsible for its operation and safety during flight. This would be the captain in a typical two- or three-pilot aircrew, or "pilot" if there is only one certificated and qualified pilot at the controls of an aircraft.

Do you think that you could add some entries to the List of fugitives from justice who disappeared? I am sure you could easily figure out how to by clicking on view history. I have been adding many people to the list mostly by myself and could really use some help. The article gets over 1000 views per day! So it is well worth adding to. If you check it out you will see that I have been adding to it a lot! I can give you some entries to add. How has your holidays been? Davidgoodheart (talk) 03:58, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Don't Break Me
BabbaQ, as a productive editor who has started articles on redirects other users have created before, I don't know why all of a sudden you're going out of your way to create articles with deliberately incorrect titles. I started my redirect hours before your unsourced one-sentence stub, and there is no way we're starting an article at "Don't Break Me (Song)". I started working on mine, which when started had a source and more content, before you even linked yours. Your incorrectly titled article has been redirected. Please create articles in the correct place in future. The article is located at Don't Break Me. Thank you. Ss112 12:33, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- Also, why are you creating unsourced one-sentence stub articles anyway? You know how to add references. Please don't do this in future just to try to get the jump on other people. It's a bad look. Ss112 12:59, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Certifications in Sweden
Hey. Just wanted to ask someone from Sweden (it happened to be you) what's the current situation with music certifications there. They used to be published on the Sverigetopplistan website and could be found via the search box but after the website has been redesigned last year they're not available anymore, only in the chart but once the song's out, it's not available anymore. and also some songs are certified later on when the song isn't charting anymore. do you know anything? are they published somewhere else? maybe you could email IFPI Sverige and ask them?
