Comment on Commercial Bank of Dubai[edit]

Hi Stanley, thanks for writing back and reviewing the article. I have referenced a few news organizations of which Reuters is referenced as well. As for the promotional point, is there a way to keep that to a minimum? should I remove the awards section? I tried being as impartial as possible while creating the article even going as far as telling the client they cannot put a lot of "Advertisey-sounding" paragraphs.

I would appreciate your views on this. Thanks

@RamziAtImpactProximity: - Removing the awards section and any detailed information about products, as well as removing WP:PEACOCK terms should be a start. You also need to include criticism of the bank, and work on finding significant discussion (not just mentions of what they've been doing, sufficient debate) in third-party sources. An encyclopaedic article needs to state what has happened to the bank outside its own company, how it interacts with the wider world and not quote too extensively from its own materials, but rely primarily on outside sources talking about it. ('From the outside looking in, not the inside looking out' is how I'd put it.) Please do read those links thoroughly as they're crucial to Wikipedia's aims; we're obviously not just a site to promote/raise public awareness of a bank on their behalf, we need them to be specifically and demonstrably notable before they can have an article. Maybe let someone else who's not connected with the bank help you draft the article. I don't have time right now, but if it's notable as per the guidelines (and it probably is), doubtless you can find someone to assist you. LS1979 (talk) 07:55, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

how could i improve on the page, i mention al huda foundation references which is one of the biggest Islamic society in Indiana. Also in his occupation you dont get the same sort of media attention as singers or anyone else in the west, for what he does he is renowned in the muslim world, on Wikipedia there are also various others which do the same and there pages are available on Wikipedia. Anyways i appreacite your comments and would appreciate if you could give me some advice on how to improve the page :), hope you have a lovely day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toqeerk (talkcontribs) 20:00, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Toqeerk: - You need WP:Reliable Sources for Fatih's article; these can come from anywhere, but there must be more than just biographical links and the article needs to shave off the promotional language. If Fatih is notable enough for Wikipedia, he'll have these sources already (it makes no difference if they're from Islamic sources; what he needs to be is widely discussed to be worth a neutral third-party account of his career); if he's not, he won't, and that can't be fixed until he gains some notability. Please add them if they exist to demonstrate that he's notable and you're not just uploading a resume for him. LS1979 (talk) 20:13, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit done on Avaza Software[edit]

Hie, I am trying to fix whatever you thought may have been advertizing to cause you to recommend my page for deletion. I have made edits to the page and sent you a message on the talk page. I await your response. lilianarice — Preceding undated comment added 11:14, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Liliana! Basically, when you write an article, you need to make sure your work isn't just a puff piece on your organisation; it needs to be reliably sourced, notable (basically, not just in existence, but covered reasonably well by other people - we don't exist to raise awareness of companies so they become known to the public in the first place) and written in a neutral point of view. Familiarising yourself with the policies and maybe seeking assistance from the articles for creation team would help you write your next article so that it doesn't end up disappearing soon after being published.

Edit done on butN[edit]

Hello I have done some edits on butN. Appreciate your useful contribution about putting in heading of last section as Achievements as I was not able to figure out what heading to put in. Please see article now. Adsyvb (talk) 12:03, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also I have found via google search photo of the Founder of butN so shall I upload it on the page ? I am not violating any copyright law by using that photograph. I just want to know whether attaching the Founder's photo would make it look like promotion / advertising material. Adsyvb (talk) 12:06, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Adsyvb: No problems. What you may need to do is reduce the "Features" section so it doesn't sound like you are trying to promote the site here. Otherwise this is a passable base to build on; you just need to make sure the sources and site itself pass both notability and reliable sources guidelines, as it looks like you're having difficulty getting this article to stick it out past the first few views. LS1979 (talk) 12:07, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Adsyvb: Regarding the photography, you need to read the specific policies on copyright and fair use very carefully. A photograph of the founder is probably not relevant to the actual website, however; it's not really relevant to the piece and fair use photographs need to be justified beyond the bare minimum the law might allow. (Even if you have permission to use it, WP images need to be gold-plated beyond simple permission because the site is designed to be freely disseminated in other formats than purely its original website.) Better not to, IMO. LS1979 (talk) 12:11, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Lstanley1979: Appreciate your response. Adsyvb (talk) 04:43, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi[edit]

I already know about that. I said I need to make some more edits and more of a balanced view of stuff. I saw 000webhost was deleted for that reason too.

Just needs to be more informative/less biased really. :) ~~Luigi442wii - 10:39AM GMT, 10th November 2014 — Preceding undated comment added 10:40, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Luigi442wii: - when you work on an article, it might help to work in it in draft space or through Articles for Creation first - that way you can avoid it appearing promotional or having to ask people to hang on while you return to it later. An article should not generally go live with 'biased' or promotional content, otherwise it is liable to be deleted. There's no rush, so take it to AFC first before you try to launch it directly into the article mainspace. LS1979 (talk) 19:12, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 10[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mirza Muhammad Ismail, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hazara. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Muu Blanco[edit]

Hello. Thanks for your editions in the page. What can I do to remove the BLP banner? I tried to add the most sources I could but I think it was still considered not enough. Thanks in advance.MaoGo (talk) 09:59, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@MaoGo: - hi! With this article, I think we need more third-party, neutral sources discussing Muu's life. From what I could see, a lot of the sources you add simply list his exhibitions, which although great isn't enough to demonstrate that the person is talked about enough to have a WP article; a person needs certain additional references to be considered notable (please see the guidelines on creative artists for more information about what establishes notability in Muu's field). I do think Muu Blanco is notable (I spend a lot of time reviewing articles on subjects from outside Europe or North America to try to cultivate a more global perspective for Wikipedia), but I don't know whether the magazine articles in Spanish are purely promoting his exhibitions or actually critique his work as culturally relevant in some way; I suspect they do, however. If all we have is links to examples of his work and exhibition, an article can appear directly promotional rather than encyclopaedic.
Also, biographical details (i.e., the elements in the first section talking about his early life and studies) need to be comprehensively referenced as well; please read the guidelines/policy on the biographies of living persons. It's not bad at all, however. Once you add some more sources, then it's probable that the tag can be removed. LS1979 (talk) 10:23, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, let me see if I can find something more reliable heavy. Thanks. MaoGo (talk) 18:18, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello[edit]

The article that is for Ganesh Regmi who is the person who have given so much for the community and was trying to write a short article of him. But right now it is marked for deletion, could you please help me so that the article gets its place in wikipedia? I don't want it to be deleted please? I contributed the references there as well. I look forward to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

Since this article was still in the backlog (the {{copyedit}} tag hadn't been removed), I began copyediting it before noticing your {{GOCE}} tag on the talk page. In future please remove the copyedit tag before you begin, to minimize conflicts. Thanks for your help and all the best, Miniapolis 21:21, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Miniapolis: - sure. I thought it was best not to remove it from the category until someone had checked it. But if you would prefer me to be bold about that, I'll do it going forward. LS1979 (talk) 22:57, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Trimax Mowing Systems[edit]

Hi Lstanley1979, I'm new to wiki and hope you could give me some comment on my draft page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Trimax_Mowing_Systems. Since my draft page was denied I added some reliable sources to the page. Is there anything missing? I would appreciate if you could help me with some advice on how to improve the page. Thank you and have a nice day. Yuckfou2 (talk) 12:33, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Yuckfou2: - I'll take a look as soon as possible. LS1979 (talk) 18:42, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Yuckfou2: - Basically, I agree with the comment from 30 October. What you need for this company is third-party sources. Not 'testimonials'. Not information about the company's guarantee program. Not excerpts from their own website or evidence that they merely exist. Basically, read about reliable sources and the notability guidelines and see what Wikipedia requires as sources: basically, something that establishes the company as being talked about in publications which aren't merely being used as a vehicle for puff pieces but contain genuine, neutral discussion of the company's products, track-record, expansion and so on. If you can't find these sources, then the company may not be able to have an article until it's been substantially discussed in these kind of stories.
Sorry this is a bit harsh (I don't mean it to be cruel, and the company does look notable, given you link to awards its won), but you need to get this right before someone will approve the article. LS1979 (talk) 08:26, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also - take out or substantially reduce the 'Features' section - this isn't an advertising/promotional space and such lists are not really encyclopaedic, since they are usually written as if you are advertising the product. You also need to remove the 'TM' symbols. Focus on the activities of the company and its general performance rather than on what it sells. LS1979 (talk) 08:31, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your advice. I did some changes, hope it's better now. But since this is a company for professional equipment testimonials are very important. This company is regarded as one of the more important companies of New Zealand. I will add more to the history of the company and remove some "advertising". How about details on the machines like dimensions, weight and number of blades? How far away from being accepted is this page anyway? There is also a wikipedia page about "roller mowers" that is basically trimax. Is it possible to merge them? Thanks a lot Yuckfou2 (talk) 11:10, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@YuckFou2: - Sorry I can't be more obliging, but this isn't the place to promote what you feel is an important company. If Trimax is as important as you claim, then there will be other sources, but you have to back this up with proof that satisfies reviewers, and unfortunately those sources don't make me believe you are writing an article which belongs in an encyclopaedia rather than a directory of businesses.
While I think Trimax probably deserves an article, you cannot use Wikipedia to raise awareness of your company among the 'relevant' people. If you can prove that third parties consider your company important, then that's fine - but you need to do that without using sources that appear to be simply promoting your company or its products or services. This is difficult to do if you have a close connection with the subject, so possibly it would be a good moment to step back and let someone else find good sources on Trimax that will allow your article to pass AFC. If you try to insert material about your lawnmowers into other articles, you could be warned for disruptive editing, so I wouldn't advise you do that.
I'm sorry this isn't better news, but Wikipedia has quite strict standards regarding promotional pages, so take a look at some of the relevant pages: WP:Notability, WP:Reliable Sources and WP:CORP to see what we require from articles about corporations before they will be approved by an independent editor such as myself.

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews[edit]

Hello Lstanley1979. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).[reply]

David Balda wiki[edit]

Hello Lstanley, thank you very much

More about David Balda

http://www.fcb.cz/aktualita/hledame-hrace-s-vasni-pro-fotbal-rika-skaut-baniku/4851/#.U6GxT5R_uVE http://pravednes.cz/admin.jsp#!about-BaldaDavid http://pravednes.cz/BaldaDavid.profil http://cz.linkedin.com/pub/david-balda/69/b7b/79a http://www.fcb.cz/klub/struktura-klubu/sportovni-oddeleni/ http://www.fcb.cz/aktualita/do-baniku-miri-nadejny-mladik-nabil-cherkaoui/4922/

@Agentbalda: - those are not really very good sources, because they just prove he exists and are largely profiles, rather than actual encyclopaedic sources. Balda's Linkedin is not considered a reliable source, since it's promotional of the individual, rather than neutral third-party discussion about him.
I don't speak a lot of Czech (mostly conversational phrases useful on holiday rather than a deeper command of the language, and since it's similar to Polish which I do speak, I can probably get the gist of an article, but not the nuance of it), but I'll have a look at the ones that aren't profiles and see whether any could reliably go in the article, with the understanding that any 'profile' will not be reliable for anything beyond factual biographical detail, and LinkedIn is not a good source. LS1979 (talk) 09:58, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok is no problem , I will try little bit change his profile and I hope now will be fine.

@Agentbalda: - please sign your posts (use four tildes like normally instructed on talk pages. Actually, having edited the profile to remove the advertising/promotion/CV aspects of the article, someone else has marked it for speedy deletion as already being deleted once. To be honest, given his resume, he doesn't appear notable by Wikipedia standards - given the lack of any significant professional career as a footballer, and that he's just establishing himself as a transfer consultant, I doubt he will meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines right now. He may go on to a career in football management, but I have to say that I don't think he's worthy of an article yet. This is not a place to promote your client; you need to use other means and then someone will probably write an article about Balda if he achieves actual notability.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I didn't know about the prior deletion discussion, and was about to consult the football notability guidelines for myself to see whether Balda's short time on the various English teams counted as professional play.

Vivaksh singh[edit]

Hello Lstanley1979 I have created a page Vivaksh singh as i thing his achievment should be required to get consideration. But i really don't know why you don't consider achivement being covered in vernacular langauge. suppose someone is not residing in USA then of course he will use the vernacular medium to communicate and his work will publish in the same langauge. And of course he won't frequenlty come in google serach. is publishing a english book, writng more than hundren stories and poems, screenpaly of two short movies, founding a company at 17, invited by dignatries to motivaiton talk and covered by different media at this younger age should not be facts to put before creating his biography.

Why vivkash singh is nominated for speedy deltedtion. can you please specify it? thanks

I really am disappointed the way wiki is deleting this page. sometime it is tagged as promtoinal sometimes something else. Look if a person who lives outside the USA/UK and whose mother tounge is not English then according to you that person can't be part of wikipedia right?

I am really amazed the way wiki is repetedly delteding this page. consdier his achivement. his well known, famous, invited by vairous dignitries, a published author and screenwriter and whatelse you expect? he is covered by lots of media. And outsdie USA/UK most media function in verncular language which can't be traceed by google.


Any way hope this time wiki will consider it as it truly annoying to see this page getting delted agian and agian thanks!

@Amtraj: - apologies for not responding earlier. I work and so cannot edit Wikipedia or check messages during the UK day. I do understand your concerns about bias towards western subjects; however, I think they are unfounded. A lot of Anglo-American-interest topics get deleted every day; on the other hand, take a look at things like the WikiProject India: there is a dedicated base of editors working from South Asia to improve coverage of those subjects which are notable. Wikipedia also has non-English language sites such as a Wikipedia in Hindi, so you might take the article there and see whether there is enough interest in your subject there, or looser rules as to what can be included.
There is a systemic bias (because of the site being used by English speakers), but unfortunately there is also strict criteria about what fits in Wikipedia and what doesn't. However much your subject has done by the age of 17, not much of it is particularly notable (a lot of young people all over the world write books and run companies, but not all books and not all companies pass the notability guidelines), you cannot have an article on it that doesn't prove its notability. I myself have been involved in polishing articles about non-English subjects and Indian films for presentation on Wikipedia, so please go and have a look at that userpage in more detail before you accuse me and other editors of ignoring non-English language topics.
If you want to get involved in Wikipedia constructively, go to WP:INDIA and work with people genuinely trying to improve the coverage of Indian-interest subjects. I'm sure they'd help you craft an article on your subject or explain in detail why he is not yet eligible for an article. Meanwhile, if you persist in trying to make your article stick, you may end up in difficulties or being blocked, which would be unfortunate. LS1979 (talk) 19:20, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Techwelfare[edit]

hi please let me know why you mark techwelfare as speedy deletion. this is purely an article for a web development company working in new technologies in website development and web application area.

Generally speaking, your company probably wasn't notable or your page looked like advertising. Wikipedia is not a place to host your company's advert and is not a social networking tool to raise awareness of your own capabilities; we're an encyclopaedia, so we don't carry promotional pages. Your company will only get an article here if you have had significant neutral coverage in third party sources, not so people will find your products or use your services. LS1979 (talk) 20:57, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Sublet.com[edit]

Hello,

the intent of the sublet.com wikipedia page is to provide information on a multimillion dollar business that has been operating for over 15 years. If it was merely a marketing tool, it'd have a prevalent outbound link near the top of the page.

also, if the sublet.com page is NOT okay, how can the cars.com page be OK?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cars.com

@Dashingman77: - First of all, just because a page exists doesn't mean it would necessarily meet the criteria for currently passing New Pages Patrol (or other article creation sections such as WP:Articles for Creation); standards for new articles are higher because they are now more tightly scrutinised than they were in the past. It may well be a candidate for deletion itself (or it may have notability standards your article may not meet, or be written in a neutral point of view with emphasis placed on the correct aspects of the company's history for an encyclopaedia rather than a directory). Your page reads a lot like something you'd find in an advertisement - concentrating on the products rather than the notable facts about the corporation - you need to remove the information aimed at consumers/clients and focus the article on its history and what record it has in the marketplace.
If your business was particularly notable, it would probably have been written about before now (because it's been in operation for a long time). Please have a look at the WP:Notability, WP:Reliable Sources and corporation-specific pages and find a way of writing an article which meets these specific guidelines. LS1979 (talk) 22:17, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, Cars.com was not acceptable either, so I've edited that down to the bare bones of what should be in an article. LS1979 (talk) 22:24, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Track-It![edit]

Hello there, I was starting this page to tell about the history of the Track-It! help desk through all its acquisitions/divestitures from its founding in 1989 through its current owner BMC Software. We were also going to list the other software programs listed in wikipedia to show similar products to help people understand the type of product it is.

@Criscoffey: - the article was redirected to BMC. The article you uploaded was promotional in tone (please see WP:CORP for a discussion of how a company can be said to be notable). If you want to draft a new article, please see WP:Articles for Creation for getting help before an article goes live. If you think content to the BMC article, please use the talk pages to discuss, but remember that we're not here to promote or increase understanding of products and articles which are purely promotional in tone and don't follow proper procedure are liable to deletion.
Sorry I can't be of more help. Please read and think about the various policies and think about redrafting your article. LS1979 (talk) 09:11, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Amer Shomali[edit]

Hi there. I've done some expansion and clean up of the Amer Shomali stub. I'd removed all the WP:PEA language about his work and attempted to replace it with something brief and factual, respecting our neutral tone. Since all the COI lingo is gone, I'd also removed the COI with that noted in the edit summary. However, if you'd prefer that I restore the COI tag, let me know and I will do so, or please feel free to do so yourself. best, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:41, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sure - do whatever you think is best. It was tagged that way largely because the original author was Amer Shomali himself (or someone bearing his name), but if the article is radically different, I've got no objections to that. LS1979 (talk) 14:43, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kailasam Raghavendra Rao[edit]

Thanks Mate, for the nice words. Cheers!! --jojo@nthony (talk) 15:38, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

This is my first wiki page. I deleted the stuff on the specific company, though I am still wondering if there is a way to talk about the company without omitting it entirely.

thanks!

Hi @Sarahtodoroff: (please sign your posts in future, and/or log in when contesting a speedy deletion). Please check that your article isn't just promoting a commercial concept and that sufficient encyclopaedic notability exists for it to be present here (as well as WP:NEOLOGISM to check that it's simply too recent or too localised an idea to be of note). If in doubt, and if it gets deleted, please take it to the WP:Articles for Creation page where people will be able to assess it before it goes live. My instinct was that it was too closely tied to one commercial entity and too recent a term coined to be notable as yet. Wikipedia is not an 'indiscriminate collection' of information, nor is it a way of 'raising awareness' of different concepts (which is promotional in itself); a concept needs to be in general circulation before it's eligible for an article.
To be honest, AFAICT it's a fancy way, a buzzword if you like, of saying your company hires local staff or subcontractors. Is it a term in wide enough circulation to meet the guidelines above? LS1979 (talk) 06:46, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also please read the WP:NPOV and WP:Use plain English. The section on corporate 'buzzwords' is why I tagged the article as promotional, as well as the way the article title has been written (another article on 'Nearsourcing' was deleted as 'advertising' on 1 March 2007, but was not re-added as a specific term, suggesting that this isn't a notable thing yet). LS1979 (talk) 06:58, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Lstanley197:Thanks for the response. I have resubmitted it with some changes and took out the promotional information. I submitted it as a draft for users to change before it goes live. Hopefully that will help. Sarahtodoroff (talk) 17:52, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Sarahtodoroff: - OK. Good luck. LS1979 (talk) 21:40, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Devuan deletion.[edit]

Thank you for tagging the Devuan article. I actually appreciate the fact that somebody takes the initiate to ensure that a new article is not created for every new Linux distro that someone invents! That said, Devuan is a major contribution to the Debian ecosystem and is a notable, important distro in that regard. Also, the article is far from promotional, as I am not affiliated with Devuan and I don't recommend nor promote it. I've expanded on the reasons in the Devuan talk page.

TLDR: The Devuan article does not need to be deleted, but I am glad that you are marking new articles for review. - Dotancohen (talk) 22:43, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Dotancohen: - I'm afraid the article has been deleted. Please make sure when you write a new article that it uses the neutral point of view language so things don't get mistaken for being promotional. In general, articles should make the case for notability through sourcing and so on. @Anthony Appleyard: was the deleting admin - you might like to talk to him in order to retrieve the text of your article so you can submit it through WP:Articles for Creation; there might well be a chance of using the peer review process both to assess whether the distro is currently notable enough for Wikipedia and come up with a better and less promotional-sounding text.

Hi again, would you like to copyedit this article. I am planning my next GA; Thanks. Ssven2 (talk) 16:18, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: I'd like to. I'll give it a once-over, see what I can do. LS1979 (talk) 18:38, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, another editor has started doing the c/e. Can you instead copyedit this film? Thanks. Ssven2 (talk) 16:51, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: I can give it a go. I may not be able to sit down with it until Sunday, but I'll give it a look over then. LS1979 (talk) 22:02, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much, ma'am. Ssven2 (talk) 03:33, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just a reminder of the c/e request made by me. Thanks again. Ssven2 (talk) 10:46, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: - thanks. Haven't forgotten. LS1979 (talk) 11:10, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For chaste Tamil, I have wikilinked it to the Middle Tamil section of the Tamil Language article. Can I pass it up for GAN? Ssven2 (talk) 16:18, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Ssven2: - Excellent. Be my guest - you probably know what will qualify better than I do - I'm still learning the various nuances of the process. LS1979 (talk) 20:32, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
