Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes ( ~ ), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Stvbastian (talk) 07:07, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Jason Teh's place of birth
Hi there, I am curious how did you get his place of birth as Penang? Quick google does not turn out any information. Thanks --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 10:00, 20 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Found an image off pinterest. I think it was this one. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1032379914553948643/
 * It was a match between Jonatan Christie in the Thomas Cup, I think. Sorry if I caused any problems. PickAbetterSurname (talk) 06:04, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * As per seloloving's edit summary here, there is a need for a better source for BLP. No worries about it as it might have been a source not found by other methods. Thanks -- Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 05:17, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Your article Sachin Dias
Welcome, and thank you for contributing the page Sachin Dias to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. It has been listed at Pages needing translation into English, but if it is not translated within two weeks, the article will be listed for deletion. Thank you. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 19:49, 5 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but how is this not English? PickAbetterSurname (talk) 02:11, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

For a better article
Hi based on your contribution on Wong Tien Ci and Boon Xin Yuan, there are few things to note: I hope my advice is useful. Thank you. Stvbastian (talk) 05:59, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * consistency date format, sometimes you used dmy (date month year) format and sometimes u used mdy (month date year) format, pls be consistent. (Mostly when you added article sources)
 * Chinese template for name in lead paragraph: not a manual Chinese: 文鑫源;
 * Pinyin used for Hong Kong article, so no need to add Pinyin for Malaysian articles.
 * Avoid writing with all caps (all capital letters). If you find article sources use all caps even though it's only part of the title you should change that. ex: OON Xin Yuan Profile --> Oon Xin Yuan Profile, or SERDANG BC --> Serdang BC
 * In cite web: This is English Wikipedia, so doesn't need to add language=en if the article sources already used English
 * Use publisher=.... rather than website=...
 * url-status=... parameter used for archived sources. So, if you did not add an archive version, you should not add url-status parameter
 * use rather than for References section
 * Based on all sources tht you added, i can't found any statement about height, years active and handedness of Wong Tien Ci and Boon Xin Yuan. Please support all the statement with sources. Because, based on Wikipedia rule WP:BLP said: all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by an inline citation to a reliable, published source. Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dejan Ferdinansyah


A tag has been placed on Dejan Ferdinansyah requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Articles for deletion/Dejan Ferdinansyah. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
