I see you're continuing to plug away on the high quality, well-sourced Eastern college football season articles. Fantastic work! Cbl62 (talk) 17:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I just wanted to say thanks for your help with adding an SFGATE article - I'm working on getting some more answers to your questions, so I'll send those over soon!Snailtortoisechicken (talk) 22:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Willie, I have been updating, little by little, since early last year, the page for The Berkshire Eagle. As noted on my user page, I do have a connection there, being on the company board, working as a consultant there, and being a former publisher and longtime former employee. However, I think I've kept my edits quite objective and I'm pretty happy with the page at this point.

In any case, I wonder if you could give the page a review and make any suggestions for further improvements. Also, I notice that it is rated "C-class/Low" on the WikiProject Journalism scale. I suspect that rating derives from the contents of the page prior to my work on it over the last 18 months, and I wonder whether there's a way to get that status reviewed to see if it merits a better rating.

Thanks, Martin TexelaarV (talk) 14:30, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this, Cbl62 (talk · contribs). An interesting read. I've been busy at work (a good thing!) but I'm sure I'll return to the project someday. Glad to see you're keeping up the good work turning redlinks blue for season summaries. _``` t b w i l l i e _{`</sub> $1.25 <sub>`} 03:43, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on The McDonough County Voice, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See
  Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations
  for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See
  section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable
