Hello, I'm Hunter1471. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to COVID-19 pandemic in Africa have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Hun ter 11:53, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Hunter1471: Do you think I should I start a new section for data reporting on the page? Naleya Everson1 (talk) 12:01, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think that would be good, but since I mainly focus on recent changes to Wikipedia, I wouldn't really know. If you're in doubt, just make a new section and if more experienced users disagree they can just merge it with another section. The reason for the revert wasn't due to this, though. If you'd be so kind as to look at the link below, you'll see that it's your edit. It was flagged as being potential vandalism. I reverted the edit as it turned 'COVID-19 Africa' into 'CoViD19-ΛFЯICΛ'. The latter is not a valid Wikipedia page, and due to the characters it appeared to be spam. I have just revisited the page and realised that you had added a lot of constructive material in the edit before. My rollback led to both of your edits reverting instead of tbe one with the stylised characters. I apologise for that, I only meant to revert the latter edit. If you would like to, you can just copy and paste the information in the edit into the page again, but please watch out before adding stylised characters as in most cases it will lead to a rollback for spam.

Thanks @Hunter1471: I have created a page for the COVID-19 Africa Data Project (submitted yesterday, so it may not be up for a few weeks, months?) and the project uses those characters in their name, but if it is problematic I will just use English characters. Cheers Naleya Everson1 (talk) 12:20, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Creating a new page sounds good. Re: the Project's name, I'd like to draw your attention to the difference between the actual name and the stylised name. In this case, from what I've seen, the actual name is COVID-19 Africa, it's only stylised as CoViD19-ΛFЯICΛ. On Wikipedia pages, it's usually preferable to only use the actual name, not the stylised one UNLESS it's a very commonly reported stylisation (e.g. Deadmau5). This doesn't seem to be the case here, hence why I reverted it. Thanks. Hun ter 13:41, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help @Hunter1471: yes hopefully Wikipedia doesn't take too long to publish the page, the generic info said it could take 3 months. There is a wikipedia page for the American equivalent the COVID Tracking Project so I have just copied their format. Interestingly worldometers is the same kind of project (volunteer run) and this page seems to be using their data for Africa. The Africa data from woldometers seems to have gotten a lot better than it was a few months ago in terms of being up-to-date. Thanks again for your advice and assistance Naleya Everson1 (talk) 13:52, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I hadn't actually heard of either of those before today. Guess you learn something new every day. Copying the format is a good call since it'd be harder to make rookie mistakes. Ask if you need any more advice. Happy editing! Hun ter 14:19, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
