Draft:Aleksei Aleksandrovich Grechkin
Hello, Trilotat. This is Zee money. Thank you for making the draft. However, I am more of a generalist when making these kinds of articles. I think you should talk to the users Kges1901 and Wreck Smurfy about this. They have a much deeper understanding of the military figures and events of the Soviet Union. Zee money (talk) 16:43, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thanks. Trilotat (talk) 16:47, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thanks very much. Any quality in the page now, though, is a result of the significant effort by Kges1901. Trilotat (talk) 15:02, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

GeoGroupTemplate won't show added coords

 * The data on the page has to be exported through the Wikipedia servers onto a Google Maps proxy. Chances are, given that you've only just made the changes ten minutes ago, that it hasn't had time to filter through the system. If it doesn't appear after a few hours, I might try asking at WP:GEO for assistance. Primefac (talk) 17:50, 29 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Works for me. Huon (talk) 18:16, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

David Wilson (defensive back)
Hi. It is my understanding the NFL.com and PFR.com references in the Infobox are sufficient. Is this not correct? Thanks Jb45424 (talk) 02:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * , thanks for asking. I hope I can help as I'm somewhat new to suggesting Wikipedia help. I cannot speak to the validity of those sources, but you should add inline references to those sources if you've used them. I'd recommend visiting Footnote help if you need the specifics.

Devin Clark
May I know why the article is moved to talk page? It has good source and Devin Clark is notable accordingly to MMA project guildlines. Semper liber (talk) 03:24, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't move the article; I simply added some wikiproject templates to the talk page. That adds the article to appropriate task forces that might, if it fits their priority, contribute further edits to the article. It just raises the article to the attention of those with specific interests so they might help. It does look like, though, the MMA project is only just beginning to form. Trilotat (talk) 03:30, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok noted and thanks. BTW MMA project was initiated on August 2005.Semper liber (talk) 03:40, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I would have added more info from MMA, but the template looks different from all the others I've used. Maybe I'm getting too tired to edit...Trilotat (talk) 03:46, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Trilotat, thank you for helping up. Appreciate it. Semper liber (talk) 04:27, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

reflist
You used reflist|20em on the Gongsun Hong page, how do I use it? The page for it isn't entirely easy to interpret. ThanksFourLights (talk) 13:33, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The reflist|20 just displays the short footnotes into as many 20 em columns as fit into the window on your screen. Maybe you're trying to interpret how I built the short footnotes in the notes list. The short footnotes are just last|year|page from the citations. Where you had multiple citations in one footnote, I used the  template. That's a bit more complicated, but it's just the first citation's author numbered 1a1 (then 1y for that first citation's year and 1p for that first citation's page) and and 2a1 for the second citation's author with 2y and 2p for the 2d citation's year and page. Additional authors in the first citation would be 1a2 and 1a3, or 2a2 and 2a3 of the second citation.


 * You had bare URLs before so I converted them to full cite books references, using the reFill tool. I just moved the citations to the reference section (without the page numbers). Trilotat (talk) 15:03, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
