Revision as of 15:59, 2 October 2024
If you leave a message for me here, I will probably reply on your talk page unless you ask me not to do so,
Trying to follow discussions between users can be important, and it becomes so much easier to work out who said what to whom, when and why if those discussions are available in one place.
If I leave a message, or a reply to you on your User talk page, I will reflect that here to keep the record of our discussions less fragmented.

Copy of Draft:Edith_Vernes
Hello, I subbmited my Draft of a Misplaced Pages page of Edith Vernes, but got my submission rejected & deleted beacause of a lack of neutrality. I would like to have a copy of the deleted draft in order to re-write it and have it proof read before publishing it again. Could you provide me a copy to my user page ? Thank you in advance ! Benjamin Karaoglan (talk) 15:40, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I have restored this Draft to User:Benjamin_Karaoglan/sandbox. Hope that is of use to you, best wishes. --Cactus.man ✍ 09:49, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

PRODs
Hello, Cactus.man,
When you delete an article that is tagged for Proposed Deletion, please also delete the article talk page and any redirects there are, to the article and talk page. The recent article on Stadion Zürich left behind both the talk page and lots of broken redirects. If you use Twinkle to do your page deletions, it will take care of talk pages and redirects for you. Then, the only thing you need to check are redirects to the article talk page which Twinkle doesn't handle (for unknown reasons). Thank you. Liz 23:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
