Hello, I'm Wesley Mouse. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Eurovision Song Contest's Greatest Hits, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Eurovision Song Contest 1998, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pulp. 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.

If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Keen interest
Just a random question, just interested to know people's meanings but their Wikipedia name, what's your meaning behind yours? Beeney xx (talk) 11:53, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

NOC lists
Hi there. We met earlier today when I reverted your edits! I see what you mean. I wasn't aware that the lists were wrong in the other articles too. I guess you were just making the articles consistent but I think they are now consistently wrong... I see absolutely no reason why the NOC names should not be listed in full alphabetical order. A good example is Chinese Taipei which sticks out like a sore thumb between Syria and Tajikistan. "Chinese Taipei" is the designated name for Taiwan's NOC and I can see that you made the logical move to put it in the list as if it were actually named Taiwan but that is just not the case. "Chinese Taipei" is the name of the NOC, and this is a list of NOCs not a list of countries. It is referred to as "Chinese Taipei" whenever it is mentioned elsewhere in the article, and a casual reader who then wanted to look up "Chinese Taipei" in the NOC list would not necessarily make the same logical leap to realise that the country's official name is Taiwan and therefore that's where they might find it in the list. Another example is North Korea / South Korea, which I think is a more pressing error because these are the actual country names, not just the NOC designations. North Korea and South Korea are clearly separate countries and their names just happen to start North and South, these are not just separate divisions of one country called Korea. Anyway, what to do... If you agree with me, then we just revert all articles to full (correct) alphabetization. If you are of a different opinion (which is fine by me!) then it's probably worth taking this to the project page and getting a consensus. Cheers, Rodney Baggins (talk) 10:44, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I say that the alphabetical orders can stay as they are now. August-54 (talk) 10:50, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, you're obviously not in the mood to discuss further. I'll take it to the project page at some point. Rodney Baggins (talk) 10:56, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Sbb. I noticed that you recently removed content from Collectivity of Saint Martin without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Specifically, you removed lang template markup from French-language words. Such markup helps screen-reader and other accessibility software, as well as clearly identifying non-English words for automated typo identification projects (i.e., WP:TYPO). sbb (talk) 00:51, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I see you reverted the article back to your edit (in revision ), with the edit comment, "But the link doesn't work." The link does work. Here is the reproduced link in question: French overseas région and département (produced from the following wiki text: ). I can follow the link without problem. I am reverting back a final time. Please discuss any further changes to this article on the article's talk page. sbb (talk) 19:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Flag of Afghanistan at the Olympics
Hello! I see that you use the current flag Afghan flag for the 2004 Summer Olympics. They had a transitional government during that time. Check the opening ceremony for the 2004 Summer Olympics so there you the Afghan flag for the transitional government. In 2008 and 2012 they used the 2004 flag. Check those ceremonies for that information. There should be consensus for such changes to take place. There is no standardization for the Afghan flag but there can be made exceptions. Yours sincerely, Sondre --62.73.207.204 (talk) 14:16, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

1960 Summer Olympics US flag
Hello, we're discussing the appropriate flag for the US at the 1960 Summer Olympics at Template talk:FlagIOC. I see you added a note to the USA@1960Summer page that the nation used the then-old 49 star flag. Do you know where we can verify that? The pictures I've seen of Rafer Johnson carrying the flag at the opening ceremony look more like 50-star flags. Thanks! -- Jonel (Speak to me) 19:13, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

List of ISO 3166 country codes
Hi August-54, I reverted your edit to List of ISO 3166 country codes, but for some reason my comment doesn't appear in the page history. It was: "Rewording and source required, the UN doesn't recognise republics as governments". Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 18:24, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

October 2022
Hello. I have noticed that you 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! Paulpat99 (talk) 18:25, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

List of Serbian and Montenegrin records in athletics moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, List of Serbian and Montenegrin records in athletics, is not suitable 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.
