why did u delete fayfi inafi page. that page is for him. he is a social media influencer.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Baby Aline Vargas Alfonso (talk • contribs)
comment I made on "Chenzwbot problem" about 2 months ago[change source]
I asked two months ago 'why don't we use cluebotng here?' when I asked this, I did not mean for my comment to sound rude, and was not saying that ChenzwBot was bad or anything like that, I was just curious as to why cluebot didn't work here (like if it used a different script, or something), and then found the answer on one of your userpages. I fully apologise if my comment sounded rude and wanted to apologise for that. --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 21:50, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
- No worries, I actually intended to reply at that time, but other matters came up and eventually forgot about it... Chenzw Talk 04:21, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear, Sir, Please let me know how can I answer the person who has put up the articles for deletion. I shall need your guidance as I am just doing this for the first time. I have learnt basics about the relaible source through videos and i can tell you there are all reliable sources and links than why the page has been asked for Deletion. I really wish to learn and be something in this field. Thank you, Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeepaMourya (talk • contribs) 20:52, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Tom 9. Rozgrywki piłkarskie na Pomorzu do roku 1914.jpg[change source]
I know about copyright but file is clearly marked as "pending OTRS" procedure, so "speedy delete" is just overreaction.
- @PająkJeruzalem: Apologies, I was looking at an old version of the page, so did not manage to see the OTRS tag that was added later. Chenzw Talk 17:17, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

You can choose that you need to enter both your email address and your username. This is a preference. This is to get fewer password reset emails someone else asked for. This is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. [9][10]

Edit Reversion[change source]
Might you explain why the edit was "unconstructive"? It appears that it was immediately reverted the second it was published, without any sort of investigation.
Grady240105 (talk) 14:06, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Please read the message on your talk page again. In either case, your edit caused the vehicle specs to become more imprecise (when you did the unit conversion), so you should not do it again. Chenzw Talk 14:10, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
