I recommend removing all or almost all red Wikilinks, as the great majority of what is bracketed are very unlikely to ever become English language Wikipedia articles. David notMD (talk) 13:45, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- David notMD Thanks for the suggestion, I will do that but before I do it, do you have any recommendation of what red links should stay? Also what about interlanguage links, I have found them quite useful. OakMapping (talk) 18:36, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Bihać operation
Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Bihać operation has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I hope that I have not changed the meaning of any of your text.
A GA reviewer might object to the lengthy quoted outline of the plan and ask you to paraphrase it, but otherwise I think the article is in good shape. Best of luck with the GAN.
Regards,
Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:38, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Ustaše Youth
Ustaše Youth
Hi, OakMapping. As you know, I've been copy-editing Ustaše Youth recently. Great work. I just have a comment. I was surprised to see the article claims the Ustaše Youth guarded the Sisak concentration camp. I didn't come across this info while I was going through sources for the Sisak article. Do you think that you could provide additional sources to back this up? Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 02:17, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, @Amanuensis Balkanicus:. I didn't find any other source to back this up, Fumić's book seems to be the only one. OakMapping (talk) 12:51, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- Also, could you please add an IPA pronunciation of Ustaška mladež in the lead? I don't think English speakers have a problem pronouncing "youth" haha. Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 01:42, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
