DYK for Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke

On 3 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that if James Stuart-Wortley had not falsified his age for the 1853 general election, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke would now be New Zealand's youngest-ever member of parliament? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke), 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.

Colin Mackay

Hi @Moondragon21:, please be aware that there are two journalists in Scotland called Colin Mackay. Colin Mackay (journalist) is a page for the political reporter. He is younger, still alive, and still working in broadcast media. The Colin Mackay who died today was 79 and had long since retired. Thanks Jkaharper (talk) 21:34, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

  • Apologies. Quite remarkable that STV had two political editors with the same name. I wonder if they are related. Moondragon21 (talk) 21:40, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Polish Senate Constituencies

Hi, You have recently moved articles on Polish Senate Constituencies from original name given by me (Poland's 1st Senate district, Poland's 1st Senate district). Your names are inconsistent with Sejm Constituencies' articles naming and inconsistent with names used in English by the PKW (see 2023 election official portal, 2019 portal, 2011 portal). I understand that in case of Senate Constituencies there is need for specification. I propose then following naming policy:

Senate Constituency no. X (Poland)

where X is the constituency's number. With best regards. — Antoni12345 (talk) 11:07, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

@Moondragon21: please take notice of my comment and state your opinin. But most importantly please clean up after your moves: Senate Constituency no. 2, Poland's 2nd Senate district! With respect. — Antoni12345 (talk) 07:21, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
@Antoni12345: Hi I think the word "Poland" should definitely be in the title as to distinguish it from electoral districts in other countries. — Moondragon21 (talk) 15:08, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Barton House evacuation

Thankyou for your thankyou about the new Barton Hill evacuation section I have been writing. As I live in a block of flats owned by Bristol City Council the unfolding story is worrying, although the flats I live in were designed in a different way from Barton House. An extraordinary fact is that there had been no surveys of Barton House since 1970 even though it was made in the same way as Ronan Point which collapsed in 1968. Richard Nowell (talk) 09:31, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

  • You're welcome. I thought it was interesting to learn that the oldest tower block in Bristol would have had such few safety checks. It's an important story that needs awareness. Moondragon21 (talk) 16:37, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Anna Eliza Williams requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anna Eliza Williams (2nd nomination). When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Bolding in wikilinks

@Moondragon21: Just a minor thing, but I noticed in this edit that you've been adding bolding using the formatting (for example) [[Liam Fox|'''Liam Fox''']]. Whilst that formatting works and isn't incorrect, it's generally considered standard (and preferable) to use the format '''[[Liam Fox]]''' for bolding, because it has the exact same result, takes up less space/bytes, and is easier+quicker for editors to read/modify. Not sure if you were aware that that shorter formatting has the same result, so I thought I'd let you know. Chessrat (talk, contributions) 09:55, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Imran Hussain MP.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Imran Hussain MP.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
