Unfortunately, I've had to oppose this nomination for DYK, due to sourcing issues. Could you please improve it? Nyttend (talk) 00:39, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done; thanks for the note. Unfortunately, there are still some issues; please see the "Citations to organisation's own website?" section of

WT:DYK for a further explanation, and if you wish to reply, please leave a response there rather than at T:TDYK. Nyttend (talk) 22:43, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply

I've not replied because the issue isn't settled; please see the WT:DYK section. Three editors (including me) have offered opinions; two of us are very uncomfortable with promoting it, and the other thinks that we should accept it. Nyttend (talk) 10:53, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please look into categories on here. You've categorized most of your articles as Category:Ghana. For places try Category:Populated places in Ghana and {{Ghana-geo-stub}} etc.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:12, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

		The 25 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal

Hi, in case you thought I was being a difficult old man, I really do appreciate your starting many articles on Africa-related topics. It is a gaping hole in en.WP's coverage. Please keep doing so. Although I don't think every article on a topic is a natural DYK for a hook, many are. You should cultivate that guy whose name I can't pronounce; you make a very good complementary team.

Just wanted to say Great work on all those Ghana-related pages you have created! Omegastar (talk) 17:00, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted some of your articles where the contents were about a different town than the article title suggested. These articles seemed to be copy-pasted from other articles you had created, but without the necessary corrections. The ones I deleted were Maxima, Kumasi, Kentinkrono and Fumesua. These all came out of Category:Places in Kumasi, so that's 3 out of 18 articles. I hope that this was just a bad batch, and not something that happens usually. But considering that when looking at more recent creations, the exact same thing happened at Abokobi (from last week), it looks to be an ongoing problem.

Please also consider taking greater care with the categories you add to articles, as was requested before by others. An article like Sokoban, Kumasi should not be in Category:Ghana, but in Category:Places in Kumasi.

Looking at other creations, I notice that the most recent one,

+1 to all the comments above. Small details like Categories and Geodata don't get looked at very often by very many people, so the chance of catching mistakes in these and other fact based formatting and content, needs to be very precise, else you disseminate bad information that is not likely to get fixed soon, Sadads (talk) 08:29, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks both of you. I admit that they are mistakes. I will work on them, of course we are human and do sometimes err. Thanks once again Fram and Sadads.  CrossTempleJay  → talk 10:09, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article June 4th Revolution, 2011 Anniversary has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTNEWS

. Such commemorations happen each year, and get routine news coverage, and that's it. The Revolution is notable, a special commemoration (e.g. the 50th) may be noteworthy, but the common ones aren't.

A few months ago, I posted an entry for a living person (Andrew Stroth) who is an attorney and media agent for many famous sports figures. You raised a concern and the post was deleted on this basis. The concern was: "I have gone through the work. I can see you have corrected the initial concerns I raised. There is still an important aspect the article has yet not addressed. You must state in the article the particular thing that makes this man import ie. One notable thing he has done. After sorting that out, the tags may be removed." Before recreating the page, I wanted to check with you to see if some new information I have would be considered "important" or "notable." Recently, Mr. Stroth negotiated a significant deal for Michael Vick and Nike which was announced this past Friday. Here are some links: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2011/07/nike-re-signs -eagles-qb-michael-vick-to-endorsement-deal/1 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-01/vick-signs-endorsement-agreement-wi th-nike-four-years-after-being-dropped.html http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6730833&campaign=rss&source=ESPN Headlines http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/01/us-michaelvick-idUSTRE7606F9201107 01 Do you feel that this is notable enough for Mr. Stroth to have a page?
