Thanking you

@BabbaQ: Hi, thanks for you help with The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff article! Can you add this article Amber Swartz–Garcia to the List of people who disappeared mysteriously: post-1970 section, as you know by now it has been kept, I the same as you voted to keep it. Davidgoodheart (talk) 02:48, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
Sorry you better ask someone else about that. I am not great at that specific formatting sadly.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:15, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Hi, do you know how to add articles to formats like the table of List of people who disappeared mysteriously: post-1970 sections? Davidgoodheart (talk) 00:45, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
Read above. Sadly.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:15, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Okay fine then, take care and I will get back to you soon. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:08, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Contact the article creator or someone else who has edited the article in question. They will likely be able to help you. --BabbaQ (talk) 00:20, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Hi, please can you find some sources for to add to this article Murder of Gareth O'Connor. I have news to share with you, but all I can say for now is that I will be very busy come Sunday. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:43, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
@Davidgoodheart: - Done! Ok, tell me. BabbaQ (talk) 23:08, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: I will start with saying that from Sunday to Wednesday I will mostly be at home during which I can do a lot of editing on current articles, which will help greatly in the near future. Also can you please make infoboxes for these articles Benoît Chamoux and Laila Khan. And could you please add some sources to this article Trevor Moore. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:51, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
Great! Done. BabbaQ (talk) 21:06, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Hi, and thank you for doing that for me! Could you please be able to add infoboxes to these articles Naomi Uemura and Lost Children of the Alleghenies. I have trouble making infoboxes that need pictures included which are already on the article page. More information that I can currently share is that I have fixed my problem that was slowing down my computer, and and am now regularly getting computer help. I will share more info in my next message to you. Davidgoodheart (talk) 18:54, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
Good. Keep up your work. BabbaQ (talk) 16:20, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Hi, all I can say for now is that I am experiencing some frustrating issues which for me are very complex. Could you please upgrade this article Muhammad ibn Qasim (al-Alawi) and fix the last external link on Naomi Uemura under where it says sources. I will try to solve what I am dealing with as much and as and as quickly as I can, and will get back to you soon, with more information to share with you. You have been a GREAT help as well. Davidgoodheart (talk) 07:39, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Hi, see if you can put the info from this article https://translate.google.ca/translate?hl=en&sl=id&u=https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oto_Iskandar_di_Nata&prev=search on this duplicate page Oto Iskandar di Nata, which contains much less information. More information that I can currently share is that I found files which I thought were lost for good, and am still finding more files, which I will use to make articles in the near future. Davidgoodheart (talk) 03:26, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
@Davidgoodheart: - Done. Good to hear. Keep up the good work. BabbaQ (talk) 09:00, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Your welcome, and the same to you too, I will get back you soon with ever more information. Davidgoodheart (talk) 09:21, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Hi, see if you can copy this https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Hubert_Brasier and make it into a wikipedia page. It then needs to be added to the Hubert page. Davidgoodheart (talk) 10:22, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
@Davidgoodheart: - Done, take a look. BabbaQ (talk) 16:57, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Great! More info that I can share is that when I am able to I will be hiring people to help me create Wikipedia articles. Please see if you can add sources to this article Turbo Teen, and see if you can add some hatnotes to both Santiago Villalba Mederos and Santiago Mederos articles. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:49, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Done, and done. Ok good to hear. BabbaQ (talk) 23:07, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ:, Hi, it looks like the Hubert Brasier page has been deleted already. Also just yesterday I had added characters to Category:fictional humanoids and someone has removed some of them claiming that they don't belong on the list. This is the exact reason why I will be making some independent Wikipedia articles, plus I don't agree with these people who are doing this as I think they are misinformed. Take care and I will talk to you soon. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:42, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Giving information

@BabbaQ: Hi, you have made some good edits to the Kidnapping of Jessica Ridgeway article, and I just want to let you know that I will be working on my "list of people who disappeared" article Tuesday, and I will be adding articles to it that were wrongfully deleted. I am personally getting real tired of all this unnecessary article deletion and edit conflict, so I am glad that I will now have my own wikis that no one can alter except me and who I let alter it. I am very glad that you will be taking part in it when it is ready, which hopefully will be soon. Take care! Davidgoodheart (talk) 05:37, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
OK, nice to hear! And sorry for being a bit "unresponsive" but I have had so much to do in real life and other work here on Wikipedia. And I want to give the best I can do when dealing with friends :) . Now I am back. I think your initiative is great. Let me know about further developments. Take care.--BabbaQ (talk) 08:30, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Hi, I have some great news: today with the help of my instructor I really have learned to format articles for my private wiki. Hopefully at this rate I should have it done really soon. As well as making the "list of people who disappeared" I also plan to make articles like this one, and these will remain unpublished, but others articles that are not controversial can likely be published, but still I must make sure that everything that I do is completely fine to do without any legal issues. Good luck with your projects and take care and all the best! Davidgoodheart (talk) 03:04, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Nice to hear. Good luck with the rest of your work. Keep me posted. Take care! BabbaQ (talk) 10:30, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Hi, I was wondering if you could you please make info boxes for these three articles Gary DeVore, Mary Rogers, and Murder of Revelle Balmain. I will add these to my own private wikis when they are complete. I would do it myself, but I have lots to do including computer projects that don't involve Wikipedia, as well and many things to do out in the community, so I am swamped with work and can only do some much at a time.

@BabbaQ: Hi, thanks for your edit! Could you please fix the external links on the article Bret Hart. If you go to the bottom of the article you will see which links needs fixing. I will be working on my main article soon, and I hope that I can get it done in the near future. Davidgoodheart (talk) 02:30, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
I fixed those links, and about 10 other dead links. Cheers! BabbaQ (talk) 11:06, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

@BabbaQ: Hi! how have you been? I just wanted to let you know that I have been working a lot lately on my article the "list of people who disappeared", and have encountered some difficulties as my page keeps freezing, but I will be getting help with fixing that soon. But until I do I will be sticking with editing articles that are on Wikipedia right now. Could you please make info boxes for these articles Ardeth Wood and the Santiago Maldonado case. The Santiago Maldonado case already has a picture, so maybe you could see if you could expand it. I will get back yo you soon, take care! Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:39, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

@Davidgoodheart:-Hi, ok good to read that you are progressing with your work. I will be off Wikipedia tomorrow to celebrate Midsummers eve here in Sweden. So I am looking forward to that celebration. I have fixed the infoboxes. Nice to hear from you. Take care. BabbaQ (talk) 07:25, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

@BabbaQ: Hi, and welcome back! Did you have a nice celebration? I will get back to you soon. Davidgoodheart (talk) 08:03, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to WikiProject Portals

Hi,

I noticed your interest in portals. Here is what has been going on behind-the-scenes with them...

Currently, there are about 1500 portals, comprised of 150,000 pages in portal space, the rest beyond the 1500 being subpages. Most of those subpages contain an excerpt, copied and pasted from some article. Such excerpts never change, and they go stale over time (no longer matching the original source material).

The Portal WikiProject was rebooted on April 17th, and has grown to 68 members. We've been busy redesigning the portal model so that portals will not need all those subpages.

The design concept called "selective transclusion", which is used for migrating excerpts (moving them to the base page), does so by displaying part of an article the same as a template. An added benefit of this is that it also keeps them fresh, by always showing the current version of the content that is transcluded.

We are also working on ways to make excerpted content, and listed entries, dynamic, so that the material or links shown automatically change over time without the intervention of an editor. Selected articles, could be set up to change daily, for example, to present a different article each day. This can even be made to show a different article every time a user visits the page. Currently, we can do this from a set list. We're trying to make it so that the list is updated automatically from an external source that is regularly maintained.

Other automated solutions are being sought or developed for each section type of portals. To automatically update and archive news, did you know entries, and so on.

Once we get a fully automated design worked out, it will be applied to all the portals that do not have dedicated maintainers. This will reduce the amount of maintenance they need. A single editor will then be able to watch over far more portals than before, ideally, with each portal taking up only a single page in portal space.

The Portal WikiProject is dedicated to updating, upgrading, and maintaining the entire portal system and every portal in it.

Come check us out, and if you like what you see, feel free to join.    — The Transhumanist   05:31, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

On 22 May 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fallet Kevin, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that 20 years after confessing to the murder of a four-year-old boy, two brothers had all suspicions against them dismissed? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fallet Kevin. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Fallet Kevin), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Thank you very much

The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   00:06, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Anis don Demina

Hi. Long time since last time now. I allmost hit the famous "wall" at my new work, therefor I have only been on svwp when I have had some time. But today I saw on Facebook that the article Anis don Demina, you created, need some more info! Anis new single has today reached over 1 milion streams (according to him). Maybe "wasted" should be mentioned in his article? best regards, Adville (talk) 12:30, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

@Adville: - I am back after a short Wikibreak. The issue you mentioned has been taken care of. I will actually take an extra look on the article in the next few days trying to find additional information. --BabbaQ (talk) 12:26, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

New Page Patrol?

Hi BabbaQ,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 12:55, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

@BabbaQ: Hi, how have you been? Just as you celebrated your holiday in Sweden, I celebrated Canada day here in Canada. I have seen pictures of Sweden in an encyclopedia, and it looks like a beautiful place. I also feel that every country has its own unique beauty. By the way I noticed that you have been editing some wrestling articles recently, are you are wrestling fan? Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:36, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi. I have always wanted to visit Canada. In fact Canada and Sweden are very similar in terms of our values and lifestyle. I like Wrestling, though its not big or popular in Sweden. Do you have any favourite wrestler?--BabbaQ (talk) 19:06, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: Hi, your welcome for thanking me for my recent edits. My favorite wrestlers right now are Finlay and The Undertaker, though they have not been very active lately. Also I see that the "in wrestling" sections have now been removed from wrestling articles which I don't like at all as that info should absolutely be included, so I will also be making some private wiki wrestling articles as well. I will get back to you soon regarding my private wiki projects. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:00, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Could you take a look?

Hello BabbaQ, I recently created a page Morris A. Young that was marked for speedy deletion due to being too promotional sounding. I know you have a lot of experience with editing and improving pages, which is greatly appreciated. I was wondering if you could take a quick look and see if there's anything you could do to help make that article sound more encyclopedic so it doesn't get deleted? I appreciate any help, but I do realize you're busy and may not have the time :) Have a great day, Lonehexagon (talk) 02:34, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for contacting me. I have done a few tweaks and added WikiProject templated at the article talk page. I am away on a trip and will have access to a computer later tonight. I will take a closer look then. But from what I can tell the article is not very promotional now. And I doubt it would be Speedy Deleted. Anyway, interesting article. I will do some research to try to find additional information. Regards.
Thank you so much for your time and effort! It looks like the notice for Speedy Deletion has been taken down :) I really appreciate all the help you offer other editors :) Lonehexagon (talk) 16:31, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
