Speedy deletion nomination of 1999 Vietnamese Floods
Hello, Sacamet,

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

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, 1999 Vietnamese Floods, for deletion, because it is a very short article that doesn't provide readers with enough context to determine who or what the subject is.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can 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!

Page move (and blanking)
I see you tried to move a page, and it didn't work correctly for you. However, the end result is that both pages contained no encyclopedic information. I restored 1999 Vietnamese Floods so you can work on it, if you wish. I can perform the move for you, if you want. Or if you'd rather I can move it to your userspace so you can work on it unperturbed until you think it's finished. I hope that's helpful. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 00:26, 22 November 2023 (UTC)


 * It didn't move to the correct place so I deleted it as I wasn't sure how to undo it. I would appreciate it if you could return it to my userspace.  Thank you. Sacamet (talk) 08:22, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Done. You’ll find it at user:Sacamet/1999 Vietnamese Floods.  78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 13:03, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

1999 Vietnamese floods
Thanks for adding the section on food security. Just a heads up, per MOS:CITEPUNCT, we usually don't add a space in front of references. So this:


 * Vientiane is the capital and largest city of Laos.

is preferred over this:

I also removed a bunch of nbsp that didn't serve any apparent purpose. If they did don't hesitate to tell me. Cheers, and happy editing, Edward-Woodrow (talk) 22:51, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

University of Edinburgh assignment - Global Health Challenges Pg Online
Hi @Materialscientist, @Edward-Woodrowand @FULBERT - please be aware that recent edits to the 1999 Vietnamese floods article have been made by student editors on the University of Edinburgh's Global Health Challenges Pg Online course programme where as part of their studies and research into man-made and natural disasters around the world, the Masters students are invited to work as part of a group online project to contribute 1,000-1,500 words to a stub article about a natural or man-made disaster that is currently short and could definitely be improved and expanded with verifiable information from reliable published secondary sources. The recent flurry of activity on this article is a result of a group of students all working towards each contributing their section towards the end of project deadline and the goal of contributing 1,000-1,500 words in their group. I attach a Dashboard link to their project and the list of student editors is available here also which includes @Runhan Liu, @Mcaughtrie @Alex J Underwood, @Sacamet and others. Alex has created their userpage the way I would have advised the students to create their userpages but some attending the Wikipedia training workshop asynchronously so may have missed this step. I have now asked them all to make sure they all create their userpages like User:Alex J Underwood to aid transparency and let any reviewing editors know they are new editors but 'good actors'. I taught them how to add internal links and external links but it appears I will need to reinforce the need to avoid adding external links to the main body of the article. I will ensure this is the case next time but please do offer the students constructive feedback where it makes sense to do so as they are just learning the ropes.

In order to avoid any such future misunderstandings, I will ask the course leaders to furnish with me a list of articles the groups will be working on so I can flag this on WikiProject talk pages ahead of time. I'll also make the point about avoiding 'edit reverts'/'edit warring' though I know this was done in good faith on their part and can vouch that they were just undertaking an assignment to help improve this article and Wikipedia in general. With that in mind, please can you unblock/unbar/uncensure if their edit behaviour was deemed in any way disruptive as it was undoubtedly just a misunderstanding more than deliberate. Also, please can the 1999 Vietnam flood page be removed from semi-protected status so that the final student can add their section as the assignment is due to finish this week I believe. Any further comments, please let me know as happy to improve things to avoid any issues for either side in any future iterations to ensure everyone has a positive outcome.Stinglehammer (talk) 18:46, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
