Dovydas Giedraitis moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Dovydas Giedraitis, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG, neither does routine sports coverage.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 12:25, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Grammatica Litvanica

On 16 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Grammatica Litvanica, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Daniel Klein's Grammatica Litvanica (pictured), the first printed grammar of the Lithuanian language, introduced the distinctive Lithuanian letter Ė? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Grammatica Litvanica. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Grammatica Litvanica), 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.

@Gerda Arendt: Hi, it is an interesting information I was not familiar with before. Thanks. However, I have not participated in discussions about such infoboxes problematism, so I don't have strong opinion regarding this question. -- Pofka (talk) 17:04, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Gediminas

Hello,

I've recently done some work editing Gediminas to make it more WP:NPOV (mostly getting rid of MOS:PUFFERY. In fact, I think the article may be sufficiently NPOV enough by now. If possible, can I remove the NPOV template from the article? If not, are there any additional edits I need to make to make the article more NPOV?

Below are the diffs of the revisions I made:

And here are the diffs of the subsequent revisions that occurred after I made the edits:

I decided to notify you as although I have already posted in Talk:Gediminas and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Lithuania about this, as I haven't been getting responses to my questions. I want to reach a WP:CONSENSUS before I remove the NPOV dispute template on the article. I thought you might be a good person to reach out regarding this topic as you have far more editing experience than me (I only joined a week ago) and you seem familiar with the topic at hand judging from your contribs.

Marcelus

As you are no doubt aware, I am the admin who sanctioned Marcelus. I wish to clarify first that the sanction was explicitly for edit warring and not for any other conduct, and second that he is at liberty to edit the topic within the bounds of his restriction. There is no need for you to bring his sanction up in unrelated discussions. In fact doing so, and this comment in particular, are suggestive of a battleground mentality. Marcelus has explicitly asked for no sanctions against you so I don't intend to take this any further but please focus more on content and less on contributors. Thank you, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
