Question from MeganCSM (22:14, 10 February 2023)
Hello! I am trying to make edits to Jeff Lynne on his current marriage and past divorce. Unfortunately Jeff and Camelia Lynne never publicly announced their marriage so I don't have a ton of sources. Do you know if a social media post from Jeff Lynne would count as a source? If so I can facilitate that going live to link out to.

Thank you for your help! --MeganCSM (talk) 22:14, 10 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello @MeganCSM, per WP:SELFSOURCE this should be okay, as long as it meets the requirements on that page. :) echidnaLives  -  talk  -  edits  00:06, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:ITV1 new logo.png


The file File:ITV1 new logo.png has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused, superseded by File:ITV1 logo (2022).svg."

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Non-admin closures at ANI
Hi, it's almost always unnecessary to add archive templates to resolved simple requests at ANI. It's an edit for its own sake, and ANI is already the second-most-edited page on the entire wiki so it really doesn't need more edits. And since the archiving bots work from the latest timestamp, you're actually prolonging the thread's life on the board. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 15:49, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Question from Hayleywatson971 (15:00, 14 February 2023)
Hello EchidnaLives,‬ please could you help me I have been working on this and I am unsure if there is else I need to do to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Bowdon_Preparatory_School --Hayleywatson971 (talk) 15:00, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Hayleywatson971, hope you are well!
 * Articles require independent, reliable and in-depth sources to prove notability. Unfortunately your draft doesn't meet these requirements, as most sources are not independent or just brief mentions. Additionally, it's worth noting many primary/middle schools don't meet notability guidelines (see WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES). I think this school may be notable, as it's historical, but it depends what sources you can find.
 * Also, the article reads like WP:PROSELINE (lots of dot-points), and should be converted into WP:PROSE.
 * Good luck with your draft! If you need anything else, feel free to ask me or check out the following pages: Your first article, Writing better articles. Thanks, echidnaLives  -  talk  -  edits  22:45, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah I am good thank you and I hope you are well to. Thank you for your help it is very much appreciated. Hayleywatson971 (talk) 05:31, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @EchidnaLives and @Tacyarg please could you help me again by checking what else I need to add to be ready to submit. Hayleywatson971 (talk) 17:26, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
