Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Howdy. If the previous history is not on the respective Highway Designation file page, then either it didn't exist or was accidentally removed from the database. Loop/Spurs 7 and 400, most likely the latter. I'll see if I can find anything out about those two. 25or6to4 (talk) 11:54, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Farm to Market Road 1994
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Farm to Market Road 1994 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Farm to Market Road 3504
You removed some information from Farm to Market Road 3504 because the highway designation was decommissioned. We have reverted that and updated the article properly. As a comparison, U.S. Route 41 Business (Marquette, Michigan) was decommissioned in 2005, and that article just passed through FAC as a Featured Article with its junction list. The information is still valid if presented in the past tense.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:42, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Grammar
Regarding you additions to several FM/RM articles, detail is certainly useful, but introducing poor grammar lowers the quality of the article. I have reverted several of your additions, which you may notice on my and/or your contributions page. You are free to reintroduce the previously added content if you can correct the previously introduced grammatical errors. Thank you for your contributions. -- Kinu  t/c 05:43, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

List of state trunklines in Michigan‎‎
An overhaul and update of the list similar to what you're doing is on my things to do, but it's very cool if you want to keep going. Just be careful about how you're phrasing things because we don't have any sources that say that "yes, the MSHD renumbered any highways to avoid duplicating the then-new U.S. Highways in 1926", because they did intentionally duplicate US 24/M-24, US 25 and M-25 and US 131/M-131 (and later intentionally duplicated US 112 and M-112).

One other request, but for the various former highways, can you dab the links if the number was reused? For example, look at the M-111s and you'll see that they're dabbed by year ranges. At some point, we'll get around to creating those redlinks so that they point exactly where we want them to point.  Imzadi 1979  →   19:04, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay. will do that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexlatham96 (talk • contribs) 19:17, 4 October 2015‎ (UTC)
 * Also, they should be in chronological order, so the first M-6 gets listed first, then the second M-6, and finally the third/current M-6.  Imzadi 1979  →   21:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Where are you finding some of these? I've removed the second M-114 because you just copied the row for the original M-114, left the length and citations in place and changed the termini and notes. I have no idea where you found that one, and no one else would too for something that supposedly only existed on paper in 1965 when you left a 1945 map citation in place. Can you please help go through and add some citations of some sort for your recent additions to the list? Now that Michigan's Interstates and US Highways are Featured Topics, I need to get back to List of state trunkline highways in Michigan to bring it up to FL standards to finish my goal of having the Michigan State Trunkline Highway System be a Featured Topic with the Featured or Good Topics on the various subsystems.  Imzadi 1979  →   18:30, 5 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I saw these on the Michigan Highways website. Alexlatham96
 * You know we can't quite use that site without verifying its information to other sources? Do you have access to any old Michigan maps or other sources? If not, you shouldn't be adding to the list by relying on a self-published source for your content.  Imzadi 1979  →   00:31, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Additions to List of State Routes in Nevada prior to 1976
Can you tell me where you found evidence of SR 44A or SR 94? I've never seen those on a map, or in the old Nevada Revised Statutes (where state highways used to be described by law, prior to 1976). Your other additions were good--surprised I left those out. --  LJ  ↗  20:50, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * SR 44A- SR 44 near Ruth southward. (see Google Maps)
 * I deleted SR 94 from the list.
 * Was there an SR 87?
 * SR 44A was not a state route from what I can tell, but one old description of SR 44 does include a spur to Kimberly. However, the 44A on Google Maps is not consistent with this description, and is probably a more recent White Pine County route number. As far as I can tell, there was no SR 87. --  LJ  ↗  23:18, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Citations for São Paulo Metrô article edits Suggestion
Hello/Olá! Thanks for taking the time to make edits on some São Paulo Metrô pages. I noticed that you included the ExpansãoSP blog in the change summary, but not in the articles themselves. The blog is very interesting, but I can't help but wonder how reliable it is as a source of information… the official CPTM and MetrôSP websites do not have a lot of this same information, after all. I am not saying that the you shouldn't include this information, only that I think your contributions will last longer and be scrutinized less if they have a clear citation—even if the citation is for a blog like ExpansãoSP.

Portuguese code page 1022?
Hi Alex, I see that you added a number of codepage IDs to the ISO/IEC 646 article a couple of months back. Verifying them, I found two problems:

In one occasion when codepage 1010 was stated for a French 7-bit codepage (the one with ISO-IR 25), the correct codepage ID would have been 1104 rather than 1010. (I have also seen this documented elsewhere as "codepage 1114", which, however, is wrong as well.) Anyway, I have fixed this.
 * I didn't know these were different!
 * --(unsigned) 2016-06-23T01:36:15‎ Alexlatham96

In another occasion, and this is the reason why I contact you, you stated that the ID for a Portuguese 7-bit codepage (the one with ISO-IR 16) would be 1022. Unfortunately, I cannot find this ID in any codepage registry (including my own one). Can you provide a source for this? Thanks. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 09:59, 22 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I couldn't find a source, but I assumed it was almost certainly code page 1022. You can remove that until it is confirmed.
 * --(unsigned) 2016-06-23T01:36:15‎ Alexlatham96


 * Okay, thanks for clearing this up.

July 2016
Hi, Alexlatham96. I'm concerned about this recent edit you've made. You might know this, but on Wikipedia (and in everything you write, too), we don't make claims and assumptions without citing them. And just to let you know, the fact about California State Route 69 being renumbered because of 69s isn't true. Thanks. Kevon kevono (talk) 00:29, 11 July 2016 (UTC) See http://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=17893.msg2155550#msg2155550. There was one guy stealing the 69 signs, like in other states. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexlatham96 (talk • contribs) 02:12, 11 July 2016‎ (UTC)
 * But that's not a reliable source, because anyone can go on there and post whatever they want, right or wrong. --Rschen7754 03:27, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I find it a little troubling that you templated a long-term user (5 years, 10 months) who made a good-faith addition to an article. Given your editing history, I'd caution you against trying to take the high road like this and point out things in this way to other editors. In the future, a better method would be a simple note without a template, without the dated header, etc. In other words, maybe you should have asked why the edit was made without an explicit source. Remember, we actually do not require a source for everything around here. Even at the Good Article level, only 5 sorts of things need explicit citations.
 * As for the edit itself, I call it a good-faith addition. Yes, I'd like to see a better source than a user forum like that, because is right that we shouldn't use that. However, If that forum posting could lead you to a usable source, then use that and move along. I probably would have made a similar edit, without a source provided, until I located a better source than the forum posting. I might even have tagged it myself with citation needed just to prompt someone to include it, or to remind me to add it later.
 * Lastly, but Alexlatham96, you should be signing your comments on your own talk page. You can do so by inserting 4 tildes (~) at the end of your comments, which the server will convert into a signature.  Imzadi 1979  →   04:10, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Bislama
You've added to the Macron article:
 * In Bislama, a macron is used on two letters m̄ p̄''

Your ref for this a page at the Estonian Language Institute So, if this is a fact, then why is there no mention at: Seems unlikely to be the best source in the world for Bislama. Snori (talk) 09:12, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Omniglot - http://www.omniglot.com/writing/bislama.php
 * Bislama language - the Wikipedia page
 * I found this page [].

The accented letters on eki.ee/letter actually correspond to letters in Robert Early's orthography, which is different from the 1995 orthography listed by Omniglot.
 * OK, thanks. You'll see I've moved this details stuff down into the body. Snori (talk) 02:03, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Marshallese
You deleted this completly from Macron, yet surely it would be better replaced with something like:
 * In Marshallese, in the most polished printed text, the letters Ā ā N̄ n̄ Ō ō Ū ū always appear with unaltered macrons directly above.

(using text directly from Marshallese language). Thoughts? Snori (talk) 09:25, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Marshallese already exists here. See: In Marshallese, a macron is used on four letters – ā n̄ ō ū – whose pronunciations differ from the unmarked a n o u.
 * Indeed. I didn't spot that. Snori (talk) 00:57, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Utah route history edits
Hello, this is to discuss your recent edits to 1962 Utah state route renumbering and 1977 Utah state route renumbering. I appreciate the effort, and freely admit that the versions of these articles prior to your changes needed work. However, there are a number of problems with the articles with the changes made, that also need to be addressed. First off is a minor one, it is neither correct nor helpful to label something as "New" when the change was made in 1962 and is no longer current as it was changed again in 1977. At a minimum those columns need different titles. More importantly are some other issues: now both articles rely on a template in Userspace (specifically User:NE2), and in fact appear to be drafts that NE2 did. That isn't wise and needs to be addressed ASAP, as NE2 could delete that template at any time, which would break these articles. If there is any connection between your account and NE2's that needs to be disclosed to avoid sockpuppet allegations. If not, we need to discuss with NE2 if these articles were ready for prime time. From what I can see, they were not. The current designation column and legislative notes were removed. IMO, these were the two most helpful columns in the articles as they existed prior to these changes. In fact, I am leaning towards reverting back to the prior revisions for that reason alone. Perhaps most important, having multiple entries for the same contiguous route number (for example State Route 1 is covered in 3 separate entries despite being a contiguous route) isn't helpful, and adds confusion. Please advise on what your vision is for these articles. If this is an interim step, I'm ok with that. However, if this is the "final version" of you vision, I'm inclined to revert until these issues can be addressed in a draft space. Please advise, Dave (talk) 13:56, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I substituted the template, so it no longer uses NE2's template. –Fredddie™ 21:18, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks . That fixed the most urgent of the issues, but I still have the above mentioned concerns that need to be discussed. Dave (talk) 21:55, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I've reverted back for now. Hopefully we can start a dialog and move the article forward. Dave (talk) 16:19, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I tried to expand both articles to get them in a more understandable format. Please review with I've done and comment if I've violated the spirit of what you were trying to do. Dave (talk) 04:50, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Edit summaries
I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary, as you did on List of Alberta provincial highways. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field as it is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s).

Retired Names
Hi, Can you provide me with a source for Ola and Yalo being retired? The official list of names does not show that either of these names were retired.Jason Rees (talk) 00:03, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
 * See this says Quang and Ola were replaced (but not necessarily retired).
 * Ah thanks for providing us with that list of names, unfortuantly the tropical cyclone naming lists for both the Australian region and South Pacific basins were signficantly overhauled at the last WMO meeting. As a result only Lam, Marcia, Pam, Winston and Ula have made it onto the official list of retired names on pg 24 onwards. Thanks for helping though. :) Jason Rees (talk) 08:46, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The site says Debbie was retired.
 * Hi Alex, If you look at BoM's site carefully - it doesnt specifically say that Debbie was retired, just that the name is scheduled to be replaced next year at the WMO meeting. As a result, its a bit of a grey area and I think we probably shouldnt consider it retired until we are told its retired by the WMO, as you never know it might not be retired.Jason Rees (talk) 21:17, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Because of...
Regarding and similar edits, "because of US 176" doesn't really tell our readers anything. Does North Carolina have a policy of not duplicating route numbers? If so, there should be a paragraph on the list page that explains that. Also, you'd be better off adding a sentence or two in each article explaining why a route number was changed. –Fredddie™ 11:48, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from List of Pokémon into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. "The other page mentioned above is User:Alexlatham96/List of Pokémon.

Iowa highways
At the risk of sounding WP:OWNy, please stop adding entries to the list en masse. When I add routes to the list, I have done my due diligence by double checking maps, finding lengths, among other things. Just adding them from Jason Hancock's page doesn't help us create a complete encyclopedia. –Fredddie™ 04:16, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Well, you should add Iowa 46 to the table, as there is an article. Nothing more, unless there is an article or more information is found. Also, Iowa 42 and Iowa 179 were removed in 1980. Alexlatham96 (talk) 04:24, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Also, I made a userpage showing most of the highways.
 * Again, please stop. You're deliberately introducing errors to the page, whether you realize it or not.  Re Iowa 33: Iowa 60's length has changed since Iowa 33 became Iowa 60, so it is incorrect to give Iowa 33 the current length of Iowa 60. This is among other errors.  Please move on to another project. –Fredddie™ 20:38, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Oops, you are right! I can't just copy the lengths. I quit editing; the lengths of Iowa 90 and Iowa 111, Iowa 162, etc. may be wrong!!!

I feel like a broken record in saying that you have to cite your sources and you simply cannot copy off of a roadgeek site and call it your own work. You shouldn't even be using them at all!

Alexlatham96 (talk) 02:35, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * , I totally agree with Fredddie, you must cite your sources. Stop adding roadgeek site stuff. Some of that information is interesting, and could be true, but we need reliable sources for information, such as departments of transportation or the Federal Highway Administration. There are lots of dubious edits that you have been adding all over the USRD-specific articles. Charlotte Allison (Morriswa) (talk) 03:16, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

 * I don't work for you, so you're going to have to do the research on your own. WP:LIBRARY has some great options for doing research. –Fredddie™ 11:04, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I know you won't want to hear this, but I would suggest that you mass revert your edits until you do the research that Fredddie suggested that you do. Only then should you re-add the information, properly referenced this time. Wikipedia articles require reliable sources for information in the articles. Like I said, some of the information actually might be true, but – without a source – it can't be verified. As for the people using roadgeek sites for sources, that should be reverted and properly researched, as well. The roadgeek sites might have reliable information, but you need to find reliable sources, whether they are on the roadgeek sites or from searches. Newspaper sources can be used, as well.

List of state highways in Louisiana
Regarding LA 354: the DOTD's LRS shows the roadway as part of LA 341 beginning with the 2015 data set. The change apparently didn't make it onto the right-sizing map for St. Martin Parish. Those kinds of anomalies are not uncommon, and I can give several examples if need be.

On another note, as others have requested above, please cite your sources when adding content. I found no basis for your statement that LA 120 was formerly a continuous route and have reverted the edit. The original route description from 1955 clearly states the route existed in two parts, as it does today. Britinvasion64 (talk) 02:01, 8 February 2018 (UTC) Note: http://wwwsp.dotd.la.gov/Inside_LaDOTD/Divisions/Multimodal/Data_Collection/Mapping/Wall%20Map/Official%20Highway%20Map%20(side%201).pdf also shows 354!!!

I updated the LA 341 page to fix this!!!


 * You're correct in that the entry for LA 341 needs updating, but your edits introduced some new problems. You've changed content without updating the sources, so the content no longer accurately represents the sources.  Also the junction list no longer matches the route description.

I mean, you first created ISO-IR-182, and within span of 18 hours you created 13 more articles (a total of 14 articles). What I am trying to say is, instead of creating multiple articles in a short span; you should work on one article at a time. Like, create the article in your urespace, or draftspace. Once that draft is finished properly (including references, adding categories, incoming links from other articles; among few other things), you can publish it to the article space. Once an article is finished, you can move on to the next one. This is a good practice. Currently EBCDIC 003 has no references, and it had one external link, and the 99% of the article consists of the codepage layout table. — usernamekiran (talk)  08:49, 1 April 2018 (UTC) Alexlatham96 (talk) 22:16, 1 April 2018 (UTC)Yes, I understand. I fixed the articles.

Arizona State Route 181 was established by the Arizona Department of Transporation “between 1935 and 1938 with its current routing.”
On the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_State_Route_181 page, you edited the page to say that, "the route was established by the Arizona Department of Transportation between 1935 and 1938 with its current routing." Do you have a citation or reference for that information? Thank you. Diegopimp (talk) 18:54, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

New Mexico State Road 171
In the http://dot.state.nm.us/content/dam/nmdot/Transportation_Commission/Regular_Minutes_October_16_2014.pdf that said nm 171 is transferred also says that nm 195 was. Do you think just the portion of nm 195 in the city is decommissioned or the entire length of nm 95? Bacardi379 (talk) 21:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC) In the city only. The majority of NM 195 is outside the city. NM 195 still shows on [the AADT listing], but NM 171 does not.

New Orleans RTA list of routes
I don't know where your list of former New Orleans RTA routes came from, but I found a couple of problems with it.

Most important, your listing of several former routes (41, 43, 44, 45) as Canal Streetcar to various destinations is simply incorrect. The Canal streetcar never went to those destinations. Those were bus routes. I have changed those entries in the list.

I also added some former bus routes, as listed in an official RTA System Map dated January 2005.

Iowa highway list
Thanks for adding more highways to the Iowa list. Going forward, can you make sure you're disambiguating the routes? Just add " ". It'll save a lot of work down the road. –Fredddie™ 00:37, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the rollback, I misclicked. If you look at the log, you'll see that all but a few of the kilometer figures have a 0 in the thousandths place.  Based on that, I can't believe that all those measurements landed on a zero.  So I made it convert from 1.63 instead of 1.630, which gives us false precision. –Fredddie™ 02:33, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Misleading references
When changing the decommissioning date of a highway from the year the route was repealed to the date that the route transfer was completed, please do not leave the existing reference to the law in place as you did here and here. Putting information behind a source that doesn't corroborate that information can be highly damaging to Wikipedia's credibility; some consider it to be hoaxing and I have seen editors blocked for it. In this case I can tell what you were trying to do and that the information was better as a result, but please be mindful of this in the future. The repeal can still be mentioned separately in the history section, as you'll notice in the two articles I mentioned. --Sable232 (talk) 23:39, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Unicode and decomposable characters
Hi Alexlatham96, in one of your recent edits to Acute accent (which you later changed) you wrote that "" as a decomposable (=precomposed, or composite) character. Note that even if a decomposable character $⟨b́⟩$ had been encoded this would only have happened for round-trip convertibility with (pre-)existing encodings irrespective of whether those encodings also define a codepoint for its case-folded counterpart $⟨B́⟩$. In other words: If $⟨b́⟩$ had been encoded as a single character, but not $⟨B́⟩$, this wouldn't have happened by oversight, but for a good reason. It is essential to understand that Unicode has a clear and stabile policy of not adding new Latin decomposable characters to the standard only because they are used in some language. — It is precisely for this reason that decomposable $⟨J̌⟩$ will never be added to Unicode though decomposable $⟨ǰ⟩$ is encoded. Never. Even if laypersons who don't know the technical details and policies of the Unicode standard feel there "should" be a case-folded decomposable counterpart of $⟨ǰ⟩$. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 04:25, 18 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Unicode did not forget to encode b́. It was just found by Unicode to be written as b' (B followed by apostrophe, but the uppercase is written as B́). Unicode quit encoding new precomposed characters after version 3.0. Alexlatham96 (talk) 20:06, 18 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Well, what is technically correct is that Unicode 3.0 was issued in Septemer 1999, and although in practice this policy had been followed for years it wasn't formally frozen until version 3.1.
 * As to $⟨b'⟩$, or "B followed by apostrophe" that was intended to be a replacement for $⟨b́⟩$: I can't find evidence for this in the Unicode archives (mailing lists, proposals, etc.). Would you be so kind as to point me to the relevant discussions and/or documents? — From the Unicode principles and POV the question of encoding a decomposable character $⟨b́⟩$ was never raised, I think, because precomposed $⟨b́⟩$ did not exist in any pre-Unicode encoding.

List of Kansas State Highways
I see you changed the date K-59 was decommissioned. Do you happen to know its location? Thanks. 420Traveler (talk) 23:08, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I changed the date because US 59 was added to Kansas in 1934. I don't know the location of K-59, but I think it was an old number for another state highway, probably K-89. I at one time thought K-59 might have been the old number for the current K-2, but upon seeing the minutes, I found that this is not the case. Also, we don't know the location of K-91 and certain other highways. Alexlatham96 (talk) 02:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Tagging user pages, again
I see you've been warned about this in the past. This time I'm not going to ask you nicely. I am telling you to stop tagging socks. Your edits are often at best, unhelpful, or at worst, inaccurate or disruptive, since some LTA's want their userpages to be tagged as a sort of shrine. So if a sock is missing a tag on their userpage, that's usually intentional. Read WP:DENY. Unless you are the blocking admin, a checkuser, or an SPI clerk, leave the userpages of blocked users alone. Sro23 (talk) 02:58, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Please delete the userpages I made and tagged as sockpuppets of Kingshowman (due to WP:DENY). Also, feel free to delete the other userpages I made and tagged as sockpuppets as well. Alexlatham96 (talk) 03:15, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying. I understand you're trying to help, but in past when editors inexperienced with SPI would tag socks incorrectly, it only led to the socks themselves content and everyone else misled and confused. So there's sort of an unspoken rule about who should be doing the tagging and who shouldn't. There are other ways to help out at SPI if you're interested in combating sockpuppetry, such as adding additional evidence to sockpuppet investigation cases that could use some more.

R̀ moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, R̀, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
