Presidency of John Mahama
The source you shared rather copied the Wikipedia page John Atta Mills. I copied most of his policies from the John Atta Mills page and I attributed I copied. The text I wrote all have sources as well. Kwesi Yema (talk) 03:47, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Recheck Tejsingh Sendhav
Please recheck Tejsingh Sendhav. I've added (a bit) more detail, including more sources. Do you think the "primary sources" tag can be removed now? MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:55, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Help?
Hi, I see you review draft basketball articles. If you have time, might you be able to take a look at Draft:Jordan Cohen? As I understand it, it was rejected (more than once) when it was an article about a different person, but now that he meets the basketball notability standard, i would think it should be a slam dunk (sorry). Thanks. --2604:2000:E010:1100:CD45:970:B175:7B13 (talk) 10:31, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I have gone through it, and it passes WP:NBASKETBALL and WP:GNG. There is some kind of confusion. I can see the discussion here and some action here. — Amkgp 💬  10:47, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I have moved from Draft:Jordan Cohen to Jordan Cohen (basketball) — Amkgp 💬  10:47, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Great! Thanks. --2604:2000:E010:1100:5501:390B:E538:A4CB (talk) 20:54, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Humble request
Hi! I know you're busy reviewing other articles but, may I request you to review Love the Way U Lie? Thanks! I appreciate your efforts and hard work.— ArriehM 💬  23:14, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , ✅ Please try to add WikiProject for articles you create next time, — Amkgp 💬  11:02, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Yep, I just forgot to put it, btw, thanks, I appreciate your efforts and hard work. Keep it up! ArriehM (talk) 11:08, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Misunderstanding
I believe there's a misunderstanding here. The article was originally my draft, but a conflict of interest arose and it was deleted. The text you referenced was a copy-paste of what I wrote here - technically the true violator of copyright - and the editor behind the new iteration was given the words by me. I myself, however, can't contribute to the article. That's why the draft died in the first place.  D ÅRTH B ØTTØ ( T • C ) 05:15, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , I leave the decision to the deleting admin to decide. Thank you — Amkgp 💬  05:20, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Can anyone of you help regarding the above? Thank you — Amkgp 💬  12:23, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The new article is the same as the deleted draft. We need a history merge - I have tagged it for specialist attention and someone should be along shortly to fix the page history.— Diannaa (talk) 14:33, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

I think the page now has enough links to demonstrate notability.AltruisticHomoSapien (talk) 14:33, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Merbok Assessment
Hello, I’m Robloxsupersuperhappyface. I am here to talk to you about the article Tropical Storm Merbok (2017). You reviewed the article just minutes after it was created and gave me very little time to continue my expansion on it. I would like to kindly ask you to reassess the article since it has had expansions. Thank you! Robloxsupersuperhappyface (talk) 01:43, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Prep 4
Hi, you have two U.S. hooks side by side here, and also two mural hooks in the same set. Yoninah (talk) 16:30, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , swapped the mural from 4 with that of a hook in 5. Separated side by side US hooks in 4. — Amkgp 💬  18:51, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. But now you have 3 U.S.-based hooks leading off Prep 4.
 * BTW we have been running 3 rather than 4 bios per set, and 3 rather than 4 U.S. hooks per set. See queues above. Yoninah (talk) 18:52, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

 * I am promoting picture hook for prep 6 and signing off. Thanks again for rectifying things. — Amkgp 💬  18:59, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Request on 11:57:12, 9 December 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Vitvellorecampus
Since already existing page have conflicts in data, the author of the page give negative impression to the Institution's page and which misleads article readers, since we have given better data with many reference to change data in the "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vellore_Institute_of_Technology" but the page author refuses and continuing the article with the same misleading information. We have given deletion of content too there is not any improvement and the author refuses to do that. Since lot of readers are misguided and makes a serious issue so we have created the new article for that. So kindly approve the new page so that the reader of the article will get correct information this is related to student education. Vitvellorecampus (talk) 11:57, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , That looks like WP:CONTENTDISPUTE and looks like a deliberate WP:REDUNDANTFORK. You are also subject to WP:PROMONAME and is more of WP:SPA. See this — Amkgp  💬  12:21, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Vitvellorecampus - We cannot approve drafts where an article already exists on the same subject in the mainspace. Wikipedia is not the place to "write your own version" of an article simply because you have a dispute with another editor on the current revision of the published version. You need to follow Wikipedia's dispute resolution protocol and work things out with the editor. If no agreement can be made, the dispute resolution guide has information and instructions on how to properly handle this. If you have questions or need advice, please let one of us know and we'll be happy to help. :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   12:32, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Lead images
Hi, FYI we have a lot of people images so we're trying to space them out every other set. I see you enjoy plugging in the lead image, so in Prep 1 we need a non-person image. (If you can build a whole prep set, even better!) Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 02:37, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Dixion Technologies logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Dixion Technologies logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:32, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
