Talk:First Battle of El Agheilia

Some questions
Did I take the correct path by adding this notebox? Or should have I let it be? Thanks Zanygenius(talk to me!)(email me!) 18:31, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * (No need for admin.) In this context, your edit was a bit misguided. Nothing too terribly wrong, as you were attempting to fix up something that just looked wrong. But the final solution using a redirect within en-wiki seems like a better solution.
 * You could, for the sake of guidance for future editors, leave a pointer to the fr-wiki article here on the talk page. That Translated page template you used first is intended to be placed on the talk page of an article. And the Expand language template itself is not intended for article pages, either. You could have used Expand French instead.
 * The other oversight is that you were making changes to a page that was up for speedy deletion - that's a bit pointless. If you think your improvement should save the page from deletion, you would certainly want to remove the tag as part of your edits, explaining why in the edit summary. Any editor who is not the page creator is allowed to remove a speedy tag.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 20:20, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you (Jim McG) for your advice. So it would be acceptable to remove the CSD as so long as I intend to improve the article? Zanygenius(talk to me!)(email me!) 20:40, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Actually, I see you redirected the page. Nevermind, problem solved! Thanks, Zanygenius(talk to me!)(email me!) 20:42, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I didn't do the redirect,, but I mentioned it as seeming to be a better solution to the problem presented.
 * Eventually, someone may choose to turn this redirect into an article, perhaps by translating from fr-wiki. Or expand on the material at the target of the redirect.
 * Yes, you could have removed the speedy tag, since you were not the creator of the page. Strictly speaking, it's not even necessary for you to have the intention of improving the page; it could just be an opinion that the page should not be deleted, whatever your reasoning was. It's always better to explain your reasoning, though.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 20:53, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

, Agreed on that, better safe than sorry. Thank you, and have a nice day. Zanygenius(talk to me!)(email me!) 20:58, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
