Hi John.
Lirazelf mentioned to me that you had both discussed the potential need for an article on Scottish museums who have achieved Recognised Collection status. I have been working on creating this page using information from the Museums Galleries Scotland website and Scottish Government archives and you can see the work in progress inmy sandbox. Trying to get the information in a workable format is proving time consuming at the moment.
If it's still an area of interest to you I'd love to collaborate and get this article published.

A tag has been placed onEsra Mungan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done undersection A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does notcredibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under thecriteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more aboutwhat is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you maycontest the nomination byvisiting 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 removed without delay.

Hello, andwelcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedlyreverting or undoing other editors' contributions atWater fasting. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing thenormal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach aconsensus on thetalk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to loseediting privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of thethree-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to aloss of editing privileges. Thank you.Alexbrn (talk)14:12, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
== Hi Alex, you appear to be repeatedly deleting my edits on this page without explaining why. I am not edit warring, I am simply trying to improve this article, and it's very offputting to have people simply delete entire paragraphs without explanation. I have twice now improved the referencing and added more information, and you simply deleted the entire paragraph without saying why. If you could please engage with me on this page to improve it, rather than deleting all of my hard work, that would be much appreciated. --Jwslubbock (talk)15:06, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
cYes, it was you. I've just reverted your last deletion, because I don't believe you are looking at the references or the substance of what I wrote. I used medical journal articles and you simply deleted it. Why are you doing this? Please help improve the article, rather than deleting all of my work. You are not being constructive at all. The sources I used were from the Canadian Medical Association Journal, the American Association for the Advancement of Science's publication 'Science', and the US National Library of Medicine's Integrative Medicine journal. Can you please explain what is wrong with these sources? How can you say these are not reliable? --Jwslubbock (talk)15:19, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violatorswill beblocked from editing.

Source:"In 2013 Polly was highly commended at the Asian Women of Achievement Awards for her social and humanitarian work, and named in the Independent on Sunday’s 100 Happy List."
And so on.
I now notice that this isn't the first time you have done this (and that concerns have been raised on this talk page by others in the past). An article likeHuseyin Çelebî takes parts of its text straight from (not really very neutral) sources likethis one:
Your text:" a pioneer of the Kurdistan Students’ Union (YXK) in Europe." "After being released in 1990, Huseyin Celebi joined the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Movement in the summer of 1991, and was killed in 1992."
Source:"a pioneer of the Kurdistan Students’ Union (YXK) in Europe," "After being released in 1990, Huseyin Celebi joined the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Movement in the summer of 1991, and was martyred in 1992."
The article also contains factual errors, like "The 2017 Huseyin Çelebî Literature and Poetry Festival in London [...] was the first time the festival was held outside of Turkey.". I doubt it was ever held in Turkey, and e.g. the 2016 edition was held in Germany (Kassel). And the article is completely sourced to sources directly related to the subject, not to independent sources.
Alida Jantina Pott is a translation of the Dutch Wikipedia article. This should be mentioned (in the edit summary and at the talk page) when you do this, otherwise this is also a copyright violation. Similarly,Bahire Bediş Morova Aydilek is a translation from the French Wikipedia article: you correctly acknowledged this on the talk page, but should have stated this in the edit summary as well.
Gil Hayward also had problems with copyvio / close paraphrasing, but has been solved by others.
Please go through your older articles and correct problems of copyvio and attribution. More importantly, please make sure that in the future you don't continue inserting copyright violations or close paraphrases into Wikipedia.Fram (talk)08:54, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added toCategory:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found atWP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact thebot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them atWikipedia talk:Non-free content.RonBot (talk)17:16, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 In an ideal world ... no, bear with your editor for just a minute ... there would be a format for scientific publishing online that was as much a standard asSI units are for the content. Likewise cataloguing publications would not be onerous, because part of the process would be to generate uniformmetadata. Without claiming it could be the mythicalfree lunch, it might be reasonably be argued that sandwiches can be packaged much alike and have barcodes, whatever the fillings. The best on offer, to stretch the metaphor, is themeal kit option, in the form ofXML. Where scientific papers are delivered as XML downloads, you get all the ingredients ready to cook. But have to prepare the actual meal ofslow food yourself. SeeScholarly HTML for a recent pass at heading off XML with HTML, in other words in the native language of the Web. The argument fromreal life is a traditional mixture of frictional forces, vested interests, and the classic irony of theprinciple of unripe time. On the other hand,discoverability actually diminishes with the prolific progress of science publishing. No, it really doesn't scale. Wikimedia as movement can do something in such cases. We know fromopen access, we grok the Web, we haveour own horse in the HTML race, we have Wikidata andWikiJournal, and we have the chops to act.

Around 2.7 million Wikidata items have an illustrative image. These files, you might say, are Wikimedia'sstock images, and if the number is large, it is still only 5% or so of items that have one. All such images are taken from Wikimedia Commons, which has 50 million media files. One key issue is how to expand the stock. Indeed, there is a tool.WD-FIST exploits the fact that each Wikipedia is differently illustrated, mostly with images from Commons but also withfair use images. An item that has sitelinks but no illustrative image can be tested to see if the linked wikis have a suitable one. This works well for a volunteer who wants to add images at a reasonable scale, and a small amount of SPARQL knowledge goes a long way in producing checklists.  It should be noted, though, that there are currently 53 Wikidata properties that link to Commons, of which P18 for the basic image is just one. WD-FIST prompts the user to add signatures, plaques, pictures of graves and so on. There are a couple of hundredmonograms, mostly of historical figures, andthis query allows you to view all of them.commons:Category:Monograms and its subcategories provide rich scope for adding more. And so it is generally.The list of properties linking to Commons does contain a few that concern video and audio files, and rather more for maps. But it contains gems such as P3451 for "nighttime view". Over 1000 of those on Wikidata, but as for so much else, there could be yet more. Go on. Today is Wikidata's birthday. An illustrative image is always an acceptable gift, so why not add one? You can follow these easy steps: (i) log in athttps://tools.wmflabs.org/widar/, (ii) paste the Petscan ID 6263583 intohttps://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/wdfist/ and click run, and (iii) just add cake.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added toCategory:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found atWP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized).

GLAM ♥ data — what is a gallery, library, archive or museum without a catalogue? It follows that Wikidata must love librarians. Bibliography supports students and researchers in any topic, but open and machine-readable bibliographic data even more so, outside the silo. Cue the WikiCite initiative, which was meeting in conference this week, in the Bay Area of California.  In fact there is a broad scope: "Open Knowledge Maps via SPARQL" and the "Sum of All Welsh Literature", identification of research outputs, Library.Link Network and Bibframe 2.0, OSCAR and LUCINDA (who they?), OCLC and Scholia, all these co-exist on the agenda. Certainly morelibrary science is coming Wikidata's way. That poses the question about the other direction: is more Wikimedia technology advancing on libraries? Good point. Wikimedians generally are not aware of the tech background that can be assumed, unless they are close to current training for librarians. A baseline definition is useful here: "bash,git andOpenRefine". Compare and contrast withpywikibot,GitHub andmix'n'match. Translation: scripting for automation, version control, data set matching and wrangling in the large, are on the agenda also for contemporary library work. Certainly there is some possible common ground here. Time to understand rather more about the motivations that operate in the library sector.

Zotero is free software for reference management by theCenter for History and New Media: seeWikipedia:Citing sources with Zotero. It is also an active user community, and has broad-basedlanguage support.  Besides the handiness of Zotero's warehousing of personal citation collections, theZotero translator underlies thecitoid service, at work behind the VisualEditor. Metadata from Wikidatacan be imported into Zotero; and in the other direction thezotkat tool from the University of Mannheim allows Zotero bibliographies to be exported to Wikidata, by item creation. With an extra feature to add statements, that route could lead to much development of the focus list (P5008) tagging on Wikidata, by WikiProjects. There is also a large-scale encyclopedic dimension here. The construction of Zotero translators is one facet ofWeb scraping that has a strong community and open source basis. In that it resembles the less formalmix'n'match import community, and growing networks around other approaches that can integrate datasets into Wikidata, such as the use ofOpenRefine. Looking ahead, the thirtieth birthday of the World Wide Web falls in 2019, and yet the ambition to make webpages routinely readable by machines can still seem an ever-retreating mirage. Wikidata should not only be helping Wikimedia integrate its projects, an ongoing process represented by Structured Data on Commons andlexemes. It should also be acting as a catalyst to bring scraping in from the cold, with institutional strengths as well as resourceful code.

Recently Jimmy Wales has made the point thatcomputer home assistants take much of their data from Wikipedia, one way or another. So as well as getting Spotify to playFrosty the Snowman for you, they may be able to answer the question "is the Pope Catholic?" Possibly by asking for disambiguation (Coptic?). Headlines aboutdata breaches are now familiar, but the unannounced circulation of information raises other issues. One of those isGresham's law stated as "bad data drives out good". Wikipedia and now Wikidata have been criticised on related grounds: what if their content, unattributed, is taken to have a higher standing than Wikimedians themselves would grant it? SeeWikiquote on a misattribution to Bismarck for the usual quip about "law and sausages", and why one shouldn't watch them in the making. Wikipedia has now turned 18, so should act like as adult, as well as being treated like one. The Web itself turns 30 some time between March and November this year, perTim Berners-Lee. If theKnowledge Graph by Google exemplifiesHeraclitean Web technology gaining authority, contraGIGO, Wikimedians still have a role in its critique. But not just with the teenage skill ofdetecting phoniness. There is more to beating Gresham than exposing thefactoid andurban myth, whereWP:V does do a great job. Placeholders must be detected, and working with Wikidata is a good way to understand how having one statement as data can blind us to replacing it by a more accurate one. An example that is important toopen access is that, firstly, the term itself needs considerable unpacking, because just being able to read material online is a poor relation of "open"; and secondly, trying to get Creative Commons license information into Wikidata shows up issues with classes of license (such asCC-BY) standing for the actual license in major repositories. Detailed investigation shows that "everything flows" exacerbates the issue. But Wikidata can solve it.

Systematic reviews are basic building blocks ofevidence-based medicine, surveys of existing literature devoted typically to a definite question that aim to bring out scientific conclusions. They are principled in a way Wikipedians can appreciate, taking a critical view of their sources.  Ben Goldacre in 2014 wrote (link below) "[...] : the "information architecture" of evidence based medicine (if you can tolerate such a phrase) is a chaotic, ad hoc, poorly connected ecosystem of legacy projects. In some respects the whole show is still run on paper, like it's the 19th century." Is there a Wikidatan in the house? Wouldn't some machine-readable content that isstructured data help? Most likely it would, but the arcana of systematic reviews and how they add value would still need formal handling. ThePRISMA standard dates from 2009, with an update started in 2018. The concerns there include the corpus of papers used: how selected and filtered? Now that Wikidata has a 20.9 million item bibliography, one can at least pose questions. Each systematic review is a tagging opportunity for a bibliography. Could that tagging be reproduced by a query, in principle? Can it even be second-guessed by a query (i.e. simulated by a protocol which translates into SPARQL)? Homing in on the arcana, do the inclusion and filtering criteria translate into metadata? At some level they must, but are these metadata explicitly expressed in the articles themselves? The answer to that is surely "no" at this point, but canTDM find them? Again "no", right now.Automatic identification doesn't just happen. Actually these questions lack originality. It should be noted though thatWP:MEDRS, the reliable sources guideline used here for health information, hinges on the assumption that the usefully systematic reviews of biomedical literature can be recognised. Its nutshell summary, normally the part of a guideline with the highest density of common sense, allowsliterature reviews in general validity, butWP:MEDASSESS qualifies that indication heavily. Process wonkery about systematic reviews definitely has merit.

Half a century ago, it was the era of themainframe computer, with its air-conditioned room, twitching tape-drives, and appearance in the title of a spy novelBillion-Dollar Brain then made into a Hollywood film. Now we havethe cloud, withserver farms and theclient–server model as quotidian: this text is being typed on aChromebook. The termApplications Programming Interface or API is 50 years old, and refers to a type of software library as well as the interface to its use. While acompiler is what you need to get high-level code executed by a mainframe, an API out in the cloud somewhere offers a chance to perform operations on a remote server. For example, the multifarious bots active on Wikipedia have owners who exploit theMediaWiki API. APIs (calledRESTful) that allow for theGET HTTP request are fundamental for what could colloquially be called "moving data around the Web"; from which Wikidata benefits 24/7. So the fact that the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint at query.wikidata.org has a RESTful API means that, in lay terms, Wikidata content can be GOT from it. The programming involved, besides theSPARQL language, could be inPython, younger by a few months than the Web. Magic words, such as occur in fantasy stories, are wishful (rather than RESTful) solutions to gaining access. You may need to be a linguist to enterAli Baba's cave or the western door ofMoria (French in the case of "Open Sesame", in fact, andSindarin being the respective languages). Talking to an API requires a bigger toolkit, which first means you have to recognise the tools in terms of what they can do. On the way to thewikt:impactful or polymathic modern handling of facts, one must perhaps take only tactful notice of tech's endemic problem with documentation, and absorb the insightful point that the code in APIs does articulate the customary procedures now in place on the cloud for getting information. As Owl explained toWinnie-the-Pooh, it tells you The Thing to Do.

 Talk ofcloud computing draws a veil over hardware, but also, less obviously but more importantly, obscures such intellectual distinction as matters most in its use. Wikidata begins to allow tasks to be undertaken that were out of easy reach. The facility should not be taken as the real point. Coming in from another angle, the "executive decision" is more glamorous; but the "administrative decision" should be admired for its command of facts. Think of the attitudesad fontes, so prevalent here on Wikipedia as "can you give me a source for that?", and being prepared to deal with complicated analyses into specified subcases. Impatience expressed as a disdain for suchpedantry is quite understandable, but neitherdirty data norfalse dichotomies are at all good to have around. Issue 13 andIssue 21, respectively onWP:MEDRS andsystematic reviews, talk about biomedical literature and computing tasks that would be of higher quality if they could be made more "administrative". For example, it is desirable that the decisions involved be consistent, explicable, and reproducible by non-experts from specified inputs. What gets clouded out is not impossibly hard to understand. You do need to put together the insights offunctional programming, which is a doctrinaire and purist but clearcut approach, with the practicality ofoffice software. Loopless computation can be conceived of as a seamless forward march of spreadsheet columns, each determined by the content of previous ones. Very well: to do a backward audit, when now we are talking about Wikidata, we rely on integrity of data and its scrupulous sourcing: and clearcut case analyses. The MEDRS example forces attention on purge attempts such asBeall's list.

Two dozen issues, and this may be the last, avalediction at least for a while. It's time for a two-year summation of ContentMine projects involving TDM (text and data mining). Wikidata and nowStructured Data on Commons represent the overlap of Wikimedia with theSemantic Web. This common ground is helping to convert an engineering concept into a movement. TDM generally has little enough connection with the Semantic Web, being instead in the orbit ofmachine learning which is no respecter of the semantic. Don't break a taboo by asking bots "and what do you mean by that?" TheScienceSource project innovates in TDM, by storing its text mining results in aWikibase site. It strives for compliance of its fact mining, on drug treatments of diseases, with an automated form of the relevantWikipedia referencing guideline MEDRS. WhereWikiFactMine set up anAPI for reuse of its results, ScienceSource has a SPARQL query service, with look-and-feel exactly that of Wikidata's at query.wikidata.org. It also now has a custom front end, and its content can befederated, in other words used in data mashups: it is one ofover 50 sites that can federate with Wikidata. The human factor comes to bear through the front end, which combines a link to the HTML version of a paper, text mining results organised in drug and disease columns, and a SPARQL display of nearby drug and disease terms. Much software to develop and explain, so little time! Rather than telling the tale,Facto Post brings you ScienceSource links, starting from the how-to video, lower right.
The review tool requires a log in on sciencesource.wmflabs.org, and an OAuth permission (bottom of a review page) to operate. It can be used in simple and more advanced workflows. Examples of queries for the latter are atd:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource project/Queries#SS_disease_list andd:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource_project/Queries#NDF-RT issue. Please be aware that this is a research project in development, and may have outages for planned maintenance. That will apply for the next few days, at least.

Hi John. I'm afraid I have to ask - what exactly is your relationship with the subjects of this article? You originally created a page about them in January, right afterthis advert appeared on Freelancer, and then the same day that you apparently tookthis picture of the band (which shows you in close physical proximity and apparently backstage with them), you also went back to the article and added a bunch of positive press coverage and removed the{{notability}} tag. I am sure you are more aware than most of Wikipeida'sconflict of interest andpaid disclosure requirements, but your edits to this page do look very much as though you are making them on the band's behalf. If you could clarify exactly how you know the group and what prompted you to create an article about them here, I would be grateful. Regards,Yunshui 雲水12:45, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciated your comment on the England National Men's Team page. I have always found this situation infuriating, espcially as it reinforces structural inequality.I asked this same question a few years ago and there were lots of links with enourmous discussions that were sadly unresolved. I think we should have a real push this time, the current state of affairs is impossible to justify. I have been wary of starting this debate however after the categoristation debate several years ago that I unfortunatly initiated through misguided good will, I am still mortifed over my role. All the best.No Swan So Fine (talk)13:28, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I stumbled uponWikipedia:WikiProject Black British Music, which I noticed you created and are the only substantial contributor to. It looks like you intended to start aWikiProject, but haven't yet gotten around to it. Since it currently appears to be a personal project and not a WikiProject (i.e. it's not a place where editors are collaborating on a topic), any objection to me moving it back to your userspace for now? Alternatively (or eventually) you could try to drum up interest from other editors atWikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals,Wikipedia:WikiProject Music, orWikipedia:WikiProject United Kingdom. If you can find other interested folks and need a hand getting project tools setup to track your articles of interest, let me know and I'm happy to help. I hope all is well. Happy editing!

On19 November 2019,Did you know was updated with a fact from the articleHevrin Khalaf, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was... that Kurdish civil engineer and politicianHevrin Khalaf, who worked for tolerance among Christians, Arabs, and Kurds, was killed in the2019 Turkish offensive into Syria? The nomination discussion and review may be seen atTemplate:Did you know nominations/Hevrin Khalaf. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page(here's how,Hevrin Khalaf), and it may be added tothe 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 theDid you know talk page.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to readthe guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using theArticle Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed onZero Discrimination Day requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done undersection G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguouscopyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy fromhttps://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Zero+Discrimination+Day&oldid=&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source ofinformation, but not as a source ofsentences. This part is crucial:say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violatorswill beblocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then youmust verify that externally by one of the processes explained atWikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, seeWikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look atWikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a questionhere.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you maycontest the nomination byvisiting 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 withWikipedia's policies and guidelines.Optakeover(U)(T)(C)09:16, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jwslubbock,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the usernameJohn B123 and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started,Harun Osman, for deletion, becausea consensus decision previously decided that it wasn't suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you wish to restore a page deleted via a deletion discussion, please use thedeletion review process instead, rather than reposting the content of the page.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you cancontest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact thedeleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with{{Re|John B123}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with~~~~ . Thanks!

| Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| InJuly 2015 around15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As ofJuly 2023,19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

Hello, Jwslubbock,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the usernameJohn B123 and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started,Harun Osman, for deletion, becausea consensus decision previously decided that it wasn't suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you wish to restore a page deleted via a deletion discussion, please use thedeletion review process instead, rather than reposting the content of the page.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you cancontest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact thedeleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with{{Re|John B123}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with~~~~ . Thanks!
Message delivered via thePage Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
