Hello, Vghfr!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! ~Liancetalk 03:02, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:44, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- Alright, no problem. Most of the time it's honestly me forgetting lol. vghfr 02:25, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

RE: Translation Help
Hi, "Vittorio D'Amore" sounds like a person's name and surname and not something to be translated. Theoretically, the meaning transliterated would be "victor of love". what is the context? CapoFantasma97 (talk) 10:01, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Context is Draft:Master Boot Record. Just wanted to make sure I'm presenting his name correctly. vghfr, harbinger of chaos 13:40, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
