I did a little bit of cleanup on your draft. You can nominate your sandbox through

There is a humongous backlog though, so be prepared for a long wait. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:36, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I also made some minor edits, to improve the lede. I think you're better off using Wikipedia:Article wizard. The article would need to be called Opemso Festival as the draft name when submitted. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 21:48, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Grandfather text

Emanuel Benjamin Vella (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Why is the text on the page about my grandfather getting deleted???

this is the second time! I have firm permission from the committee of the website 'L-Akkademja tal-Malti' to reproduce in translated form, most of the text available, which is historical factual information about my grandfather.

I would like a reply on this and if you feel that something can be adjusted to make it better, then please let me know instead of flatly DELETING the entire work!!!!

Wrong score posted in Wikipedia pages that are accessible in other languages.

Hello! I have an odd request. In doing some research for a book one of our players is writing, he noticed that the score for the game from the 1991 Bandy VM USA vs Norway game was quoted incorrectly for every wikipedia page except for the dutch language. The score of the game was shown as 21-1 Norway vs USA and it actually should be Norway 2 USA 1. Obviously a big difference. The story he is writing tells of that game so it is important to have this correct. I have updated the USA page and we know the dutch page is also correct but I was told that the pages in Russian, Norwegian, FInnish, Swedish, German, and Slovak all are showing the incorrect score of 21-1 instead of 2-1. I don't know how to access those pages in a different language so that I can update them as well. Can someone help me?

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Bandy_World_Championship

Score is under the "Final Tour" section. The English page which is the link above is now showing correct. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
