Minor edits
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute.

Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Shuipzv3 (talk) 12:55, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Belarusian air force
Hello, You have added, both in the English and French versions of wikipedia, Belarus as a belligerant in many African conflicts. Of course, Belarusian mercenaries did participate to these wars, but there were not member of the air force, nor backed by the Belarusian government.--Le Petit Chat (talk) 18:33, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Goup of Russian military specialists in Ethiopia
Hello DBatura,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Govvy, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Goup of Russian military specialists in Ethiopia, for deletion, because there's already a page about that topic at Group of Russian military specialists in Ethiopia. Please don't be discouraged; we appreciate your effort in creating new articles. To avoid this in the future, consider using the search function to find pages that already cover what you want to write about.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion] but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. Thanks!

Copying within Wipedia
You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. Presumably, it was Mercenary. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed. S Philbrick  (Talk)  14:26, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Mercenaries in Sierra Leonean Civil War moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Mercenaries in Sierra Leonean Civil War, is not suitable as written to remain published. While it appears to be notable, 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. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask on my talk page. When you have the required sourcing (and every assertion needs a source), and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Or feel free to ping me to take another look. Onel 5969  TT me 11:46, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
