Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hunter Brook, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brook ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Hunter_Brook check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Hunter_Brook?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

 * That is correct and appropriate. Unlike most names in a "surname page", this one contains an entry for "the name of several people" that takes the user to the disambiguation page. Prior to my edit, that wikilink went to the disambiguation page John Spalding via a redirection page. My edit bypasses the redirection and takes the reader directly to the disambiguation page, which is the intent of the link. Truthanado (talk) 12:49, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Pierce Academy moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Pierce Academy, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.  scope_creep Talk  15:46, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

United Nations Honour Flag
What do you have against the word "However"? It's useful for signalling "Contrary to what one might expect" and similar meanings. Do you have a substitute to propose, because deleting it flattens the discourse structure and makes the intended meaning less clear... AnonMoos (talk) 18:15, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The word "however" is an opinion word that draws a conclusion that the reader should make, not the article author. Since Wikipedia is a factual encyclopedia, and encourages readers to draw their own conclusions about the facts stated in an article, the term "however" is rarely appropriate, and its removal is in line with many Wikipedia guidelines. Truthanado (talk) 21:38, 23 February 2022 (UTC)


 * A sequence of unlinked and unconnected sentences one after the other can be monotonous and boring: "John went to the door. John opened the door.  John saw Mary.  John started to close the door.  Mary's foot was over the threshold."
 * We're not introducing "personal opinion" if we rewrite it as "When John saw mary, he tried to close the door but Mary's foot was over the threshold" -- we're signalling relationships between facts.
 * The word "However" expresses an "adversative" meaning (sorry, no Wikipedia article focusing on adversative meaning, that I can find). If you don't like "However", then it might be OK to susbstitute another "adversative" word, but simply deleting it has the effect of unnecessarily eliminating useful clues for the reader...

Start date and age
Hi, I've noticed you've been doing some copyedits to station infoboxes. I'm very much against use of start date and age for station infoboxes - I encourage you to use start date instead. Infoboxes are for the most important information; the opening date is certainly part of that, but the age is simply trivia that clutters the infobox. Age should be reserved for situations where it's important: people and ongoing events. Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:33, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The Template:Start date and age states "This template is most often used in infoboxes in articles about buildings or organizations, identifying when they were started/founded/opened or dissolved/ended/closed." A railway station is a building and therefore complies with its stated usage. Further, Wikipedia readers find it useful to know, at a glance, how old a station is. Thanks, Truthanado (talk) 20:34, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Karen Sillas edit
I noticed your edit in the infobox of Karen Sillas, and I have a question. I agree that, in general, "two" should be used rather than "2" per WP:MOSNUM, which you cited. In this case, however, wouldn't MOS:NUMNOTES take precedence? The second main bulleted item in that subsection says, "In tables and infoboxes, quantities are expressed in figures (Years in office: 5); . . ." Eddie Blick (talk) 19:40, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware of that exception of cardinal numbers. The edit has been reverted. Truthanado (talk) 21:09, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Eddie Blick (talk) 23:33, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Ed Leedskalnin was a Latvian emigrant
Regarding your edit summary on Ed Leedskalnin, "c/e, grammar "immigrant" vs "emigrant" ", we in England are daily inundated with unlawful foreigners coming across the sea in rubber boats.

Proposed deletion of Wiktoria Jedruszek
Hello, Truthanado

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

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Wiktoria Jedruszek, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:


 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit Edit the page]
 * 2) Remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) Click the  button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And remember to sign your reply with. Thanks!

 * The Wiktoria Jedruszek article was created in good faith, with available references, from Snooker at the 2017 World Games – mixed singles that showed her as the referee in the final match. I believe that a person who officiates at the final of a World Games championship should satisfy WP:N, and I believe it benefits Wikipedia and its users if the article remains. Having said that, I defer to the Wikipedia community's assessment, as I have for the past 14 years that I have edited on Wikipedia. Truthanado (talk) 18:35, 1 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Given there are no independent sources, I can not see how that interpretation of WP:N is correct. As always welcome to remove the PROD but without additional sourcing I will put it up for AfD if the PROD is removed. Slywriter (talk) 19:14, 1 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Do what you feel is the right thing to do. Truthanado (talk) 20:33, 1 October 2022 (UTC)


 * One more comment, if I may. In my experience, a PROD is usually done shortly after an article is created. This article has been around for 3 months, and has been edited by others. Would an AFD be more appropriate? Truthanado (talk) 21:09, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Came across as part of New Page Patrol and PROD is a standard part of the process there. Even so, I have PRODed articles that are decades old, as the only rule is PROD can only be used once on article, time and number of editors are not a factor. You are free to remove the PROD but without secondary sourcing, the article fails WP:GNG and does not appear to meet WP:ANYBIO. Slywriter (talk) 21:19, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

I really like the articles you create, publish or edit on Wikipedia. I’m not a Wikipedia specialist, so I would like to collaborate with a professional who has experience in this field. I would like to publish an article about one entrepreneur, business angel and international investor, on the German or English version of Wikipedia.

I see it as a text about his professional career, investments and philosophy of life. Not PR or advertising articles. My name is Emma Rogers

Infobox station
Hey, a heads up, the instructions for Template: Infobox station say to use the Start date template, but not the Start date and age template that you have been adding. RickyCourtney (talk) 01:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I believe the Template: Infobox station template was created before the Template:Start date and age template existed. The Template:Start date and age section states:
 * "This template is most often used in infoboxes in articles about buildings or organizations, identifying when they were started/founded/opened or dissolved/ended/closed."
 * Since a station is a building, it makes sens that the Template:Start date and age template be used.
