Grech
The opening paragraph of a WP article doesn’t really require citations the way the body of an entry does. Unless we’re making a controversial assertion (he was the first...) or quoting, it’s ok to rely on the citations in the body of the WP article. This is a judgment call and there’s no strict rule about when to add citations to the summary at the top of an article, but IMHO the ones you’ve added to Grech are superfluous and distracting.

 * @Bmclaughlin9 Please feel free to remove, more references were requested at the ITN nomination Joseywales1961 (talk) 22:40, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Normally info about an ITN nomination is mentioned on the article’s Talk page, but I don’t see it there. Can you point me to it? Thx. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 03:41, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Re: The New Pope
Hi. You can find summaries in Italian like this one but I recommend you write the summary in your own words as not to violate the copyright of news articles. I wrote episodes 3 and 4 just by scanning through the episode and summarising the most important events. Each summary shouldn't be longer than 200 words but it's difficult to remain within the limit when there's so much in an episode. My summaries are already a bit too long and would require some trimming. I don't have time to write the remaining episodes right now, so do try and I can always have a look if there's a problem.--TheVampire (talk) 23:05, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you TheVampire, I'll try and do it tomorrow Joseywales1961 (talk) 23:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Apologies for removing your edits there (twice!) - both happened to be made while I was mid-edit of my own. The Raincloud Kid (talk) 12:43, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 * @ No problem The Raincloud Kid we were probably thinking along the same lines - I nominated the article for WP:ITN and trying to bring refs up to scratch Joseywales1961 (talk) 12:46, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Draft:The Lincoln Project
This article shouldn't be speedy deleted as there is legitimate non-copyrighted content in the article. What you should do is remove the infringing material and then request revdel. Sam-2727 (talk) 01:01, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Invitation to RedWarn
Hello, Joseywales1961! I'm Ed6767. I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta my new tool called RedWarn, specifically designed to improve your editing experience.

RedWarn is currently in use by nearly 100 other Wikipedians, and feedback so far has been extremely positive. In fact, in a recent survey of RedWarn users, 90% of users said they would recommend RedWarn to another editor. If you're interested, please see the RedWarn tool page for more information on RedWarn's features and instructions on how to install it. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your talk page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. Your feedback is much appreciated! Ed6767  talk!  19:52, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Thanks for the offer.  Do I need Rollback permission to install, at present I am  a couple of days away from completing my CVUA training and don't have that right, if it's not needed I'll certainly give it a try as TW and recent changes is a bit of a chore :)  JW 1961   Talk  19:57, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , it works with or without! Ed6767  talk!  19:59, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll Install it later on tonight and give it a go JW 1961   Talk  20:00, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Installed and working, tried a couple of reverts - nice job! - I'll have to continue with twinkle until CVUA is completed so I'll get to using this full time in a week or so JW 1961   Talk  21:20, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , awesome - thank you! Stay in touch on how it works for you :) Ed6767  talk!  21:22, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Joseywales1961. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AJoseywales1961 enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Cabayi (talk) 06:51, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.
 * Thank you for placing trust in me, it will be used with extreme caution  JW 1961   Talk  07:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Apologies
It seems we have ran into an edit conflict on the Ministers of State of the Government of the 33rd Dail article. I apologise, I began editing before the notice was place and thus I confirmed my edits without checking. Apologies! Eolais&#124;Talk&#124;Contribs 22:01, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * No worries I was just adding their names for now, thanks JW 1961   Talk  22:02, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
