Responding to edit requests

Hey, you responded to an edit request on Talk:Erling Haaland, but didn't change the status of the request to answered. Maybe you simply forgot, but in case you're not aware you need to go into the source and manually change the ″answered″ from ″no″ to ″yes″. Cheers. --TylerBurden (talk) 09:12, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please see history of Pooja Hegde. On 27 August 2022, I added many reliable sources. But ArvindPalaskar simply removed my edits. I added more than 5000 bytes. Requesting you to please restore this revision[1]. 103.161.55.218 (talk) 02:35, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will want to read through and verify your edits before I reinstate them, and I won't have time to do so before next weekend. If you want it to be done faster, then I recommend copy-pasting the relevant parts into the talk page and reinstating the semi-protected edit request. Of the universe (talk) 14:08, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Take your own time. Because all my edits are with reliable sources. 103.70.199.126 (talk) 07:32, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Of the universe: Please make it fast. 103.70.199.126 (talk) 07:34, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, you may want to make an account, so that you're not blocked from editing semi-protected pages. It only takes 4 days and 10 edits to become
autoconfirmed. Of the universe (talk) 14:16, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply

Adding verification failed and citation needed tags

Please be a little more careful when adding {{

Otherwise keep up the good work you're doing elsewhere :) Sideswipe9th (talk) 01:20, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sideswipe9th, Thanks. I added the {{citation needed}} to the lead because the statement was not supported by any citation in the body, which I believe is in keeping with LEADCITE.
Thank you for catching my mistake wrt the {{verification failed}} tag --- I'm not sure how I missed that, I did read the whole paper.

Thanks for your contributions to Heart Play: Unfinished Dialogue. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

DYK for Society

On 7 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Society, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the use of trade in prehistoric society may have given humans an evolutionary advantage over Neanderthals? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Society. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Society), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
