Alexander Tahy
Hello,

You have assessed the above article as C Class because of missing citations. I find every paragraph in the article has at least one cite; I cannot locate a need for an additional cite. Could you please place 'cite needed' in the article to mark where you believe additional citations are needed?Georgejdorner (talk) 05:37, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, it was actually because his exact date of birth, as presented in the infobox, isn't cited. If it can be sourced, could you mention his artillery unit ("his unit" is referred to at the end of the first section, but not what that unit was). Cheers, Zawed (talk) 08:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Month and date could not be determined from sources, so were deleted from info box, leaving birth year. I also added the unit designation. Do we now have a B Class article?Georgejdorner (talk) 00:20, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me, have revised assessment rating. Zawed (talk) 08:48, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. The extra effort is appreciated.Georgejdorner (talk) 21:51, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Right! Featured picture candidates/Haane Manahi! Hopefully it goes well there. Delayed it a bit because there was a period of inactivity around a month ago where a bunch of my featured pictures failed from lack of quorum, so I've started waiting for previous images to pass before I nominate new ones. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.8% of all FPs 10:24, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

New subject
- You are correct in your assumption. I've learnt my lesson. That is why I've not done certain things. As you'll be able to tell its not exactly the same. I just don't want Ljleppan to know and I would like to keep this new account. As you probably can tell, I've not been changing whole wikiproect banners. For example, I am not changing WP:MILHIST from an old template to a newly updated template of WP:MILHIST. Could you help me in getting an unblock while keeping this account? I ask anyone who is reading this please allow me to come back because this is my enjoyment. As of last Friday, the family house of 87 years may go up for sale in a matter of one or two months. I ask not to get this account blocked or banned. I merely want some enjoyment in my life. What can I do to come back? MrScoobyAU (talk) 12:20, 18 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I want to be able to come back. I don't trust anyone on here except has my respect and I'm hesitant with you. I guess I'll see what happens in the morning. Please don't block this account or ban. MrScoobyAU (talk) 12:40, 18 September 2022 (UTC)


 * "What can I do to come back?". First, you need to stop editing with this account immediately. Read the messages I've left for you on this account's talk page and on your original, blocked account talk page. Only edit using your original account, do not use this or any other account. If you ever want to "come back" and be able to edit again, you will need to be very patient and show that you can follow the rules. - w o lf  13:59, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
