Talk:BASIC/GA2

TheDragonFire, I wanted to remind you about this GA Review you opened back on June 13, and haven't posted to for over a month, since June 19. I hope you'll be able to get back to it soon. Please let me know if you anticipate any issues with doing just that. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:21, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: I very much intend to complete that review, but as I grabbed it from the front of the queue and it was submitted by a possible WP:SPA, I haven't been in too much of a rush. It's a somewhat important article and I'd prefer to get it right. TheDragonFire (talk) 01:31, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Histmerge at 2017 Corruption cases involving high end Israeli political figures

Hi, I removed the histmerge template from the above article: it was one author who moved their own work into main space via copy paste. I've linked to the draft from the edit summary out of an abundance of caution for copyright, but it should be fine. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:03, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: Yep, sorry, I saw that after I tagged, but I left the tag on so that an administrator would get a chance to check the article for BLP issues (I'm not familiar with the subject matter, but the article seemed quite contentious). I suppose WP:NPP will deal with that anyway. TheDragonFire (talk) 15:08, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

An admin handling Histmerges would likely just decline the Histmerge. NPP is full of generalists (I say this as one of the more active people in the project space discussions around it), so something as specific as this you might want to bring to a Wikiproject or noticeboard in the future. I've went ahead and posted at BLPN]. All the best! TonyBallioni (talk) 15:14, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

MaGICLandscapes

Hello

I received a message from you saying that the piece on the MaGICLandscapes page has been refused due to copyright infringement. I can assure you that this was not done to 'cheat' as it were. I am the author of the work on the website and the coordinator of the project.

What would be better a less complicated description of the project and no text text at all from the website?

Many thanks

User:Mosesfelix1/sandbox

Hello,

You left me a message yesterday but before I could respond, my article was deleted by another user. The article and the sources were cited. One of the sources being https://isabiwork.ng/the-helping-hand-called-isabiwork-ng/ is actually my work. I used the texts in the aforementioned to complement the write-up, I wonder why it was removed. Please tell me what I can do to necessarily restore the article and also have it published.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mosesfelix1 (talk • contribs) 08:44, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
