Can you help me along a bit with the reference to Hemming's testimony?

Good article

Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia, so I have a question about wikipedia. I want to add some good article in my userpage to make my userpage has more content. I saw you have a lot of good article targets in your userpage and I want to know how you did that ? Would you mind telling me how to do that ? -----16chseld 110 (talk) 7:22, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Question about DYK

There's a DYK on the front page right now that is factually incorrect. Do you know a way to fix that? (I saw you've done some DYK so thought I'd ask you. The DYK is: DYK that Chicago is the largest city in the United States to have had a female mayor since 2012?

"Since" should be "as of" (as in the article): "As of 2012, Chicago was the largest city in the United States to have had a female mayor."

en.wiki seems to think she was the 40th mayor, I wonder why en.wiki counts differently than the Chicago Public Library. Are there different ways of counting mayors in Chicago? Cheers. SashiRolls (talk) 00:26, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I've updated the main page with a new set of DYKs, which solves the problem of the main page. The 40th is probably a typo and I'm getting that fixed thanks to your reference. Thanks for bringing these both up so they could be fixed! --Tbennert (talk) 16:59, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

I saw you intervened on en.wiki, but beware... the whole Chicago Mayor template seems to be ordered differently. Now there's conflict on en.wiki between the text & the infobox, and as a result wiki-text suggests that she was mayor after both Papa Daley and Baby Daley instead of during the brief interregnum period. ^^ SashiRolls (talk) 20:57, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

what will you do for Christmas and New Years

What are you gonna do with the final days of 2017, leading into 2018? Are you gonna watch the ball drop coming into 2018? Angela Maureen (talk) 02:32, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Merry Christmas, TDKR! Angela Maureen (talk) 22:50, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

• @ Angela Maureen: I'll probably spend the last days relaxing at home spending time with family with a party to see the ball drop in 2018 and to create Deaths in 2018 right away! Merry Christmas to you too! --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 23:03, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Re: Deaths in 2017 / April 9 / John Clarke (satirist)

Hi. I wonder if you could help me for a moment. I added the entry for John Clarke into the April 9th register of deaths for 2017, citing the cause of his death as natural causes. You changed the entry there, citing note 44 from ABC News, to "suspected cardiac arrest".

Please note there is nothing in the article I cited as a ref, to indicate anything about suspected cardiac arrest - indeed, there is one line in the article which clearly reads "Clarke died suddenly from natural causes while bushwalking in Victoria last weekend"; this links to this article on the ABC News website. Could you please review your alterations, and look to change this back please? Thanks, DaneGeld (talk) 21:49, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

• @DaneGeld: Do forgive me I was doing research and found an article that stated his death is a suspected case of cardiac arrest. I went to look for it again but can't find it. I found this USA Today Obit of Clarke citing his death to be suspected heart attack from a dear colleague of Clarke's. Do forgive me for this hiccup. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 22:00, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Of course I forgive you. There's too little of 2017 left to hold a grudge with someone. Have a good 2018. DaneGeld (talk) 22:26, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Re: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals

He just letting you know I removed the statement saying "Trump's decision, eventually led to a federal government shutdown lasting from January 20, 2018 to January 22, 2018." As yes he did rescind it but it didn't DACA did not cause the government to shutdown, just the people in congress not being to be able to agree on anything. I removed that statement as I kind of found it misleading. Also I recommend when putting something as controversial as that, put some citations/references in their, I thought I would just let you know. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 04:57, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Also by including the statement it did make it sound kind of biased. I am not trying to bash you, just letting you know some helpful advice. I do appreciate however all of the Politcs articles that you are creating though thank you. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 04:59, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Melania Trump's surgery

TDKR, please read sources carefully so that you don't put incorrect information in articles. You said that Mrs. Trump had cyst-removal surgery, but that's not what the source said. In fact, no news source I've seen or heard was specific about why the surgery was needed. I've updated the article. Let me know if you have any questions. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:30, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Gardner Dozois

I'm seeing a lot of word of mouth that Gardner Dozois died, but I'm not finding it in a reliable source. Have you seen anything about this? Enwiki reports that he died, but with no source. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:56, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

• @Auntof6:: I'm not getting any reliable sources. The only source I found was: -> [1]. Should we update the article here to reflect his "death" like the English Wiki or wait for a reliable obit? --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 05:01, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
  • I'd wait. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:03, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
    • @Auntof6:: Will do. This source just come out but it's in Italian. Is it reliable? -> [2] --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 06:43, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
      • I have no idea. I'm not familiar with Italian publications. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:45, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
      • Very well. Will wait for tomorrow, hopefully by then the Washington Post or NYT will pick up the story. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 06:46, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
        • Or we'll find out that it was a big hoax! --Auntof6 (talk) 06:56, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
          • @Auntof6: There are some more obits coming from other languages and Tor even released a statement on his passing. English Wiki is set on confirming his death as set. Should we do the same at this point? Here's the Tor website statement: -> [3] --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:52, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Czterdziestolatek

Hi, TDKR. Would you please check your recent articles to be sure the language is simple enough? Remember that part of simple language is using simple sentence structure. I simplified some of yours recently, and the new one Czterdziestolatek is not simple. The first and second paragraphs are each one long sentence which should be divided. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:27, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

DYK question

Hi, I was wondering when the next time the DYK will be Updated is. I recently submitted a fact from Coca-Cola, which got successfully accepted. When would it be on the front page? Thank you ⇒ Lucie Person (talk) 23:10, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

• @Lucie Person:: Hi! I'm so very glad someone is making fresh nominations! You see I would normally update DYK but I was told I couldn't anymore because I was the only one updated my own hooks. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 04:33, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
  • @TDKR Chicago 101: Thanks. Is there anyone else updating it? ⇒ Lucie Person (talk) 22:21, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
• TDKR, you can update the queues if none of your own hooks are involved and someone other than you has approved them. We just want the updating, nominating, and approving done by different people. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:36, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Simplifying

When you write about politicians, it would be simpler language to say something like "He was the President of Paraguay from 1998 until 1999" instead of "He served as the President of Paraguay from 1998 until 1999". Yes, being in an elected office is service, but our readers are much more likely to know the verb be than the verb serve. Can you please use the simpler wording? --Auntof6 (talk) 09:40, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

I see you're still doing this, for example in Ro Khanna. Please use the simpler wording. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:21, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Your Articles

Hello, well first considering the number of days I have been here and the edits done as compared to you, I may not be the right person to offer this advise. But let me say it motherless.

Thank you for the countless articles you have created. They are pretty much well done and insightful. However, I have noticed that in most of the articles (of deceased people) you have created, you don't include Death subtitles to sentences where the time of one's death occurred. I feel it will be a great deal of help to Wikipedia to put those subtitle requirements as it shows the persons lifetime. I have made such subtitles to the ones I found created without death subtitles.

I hope this will be in order in your next creations.

Regards MyPeople76 (talk) 20:32, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

• @MyPeople76:: Thank you for the kind words! The reason why I don't place subtitles is because I feel that the information given is too little to be placed under subtitles. For example, I saw in Denholm Elliott's article or Leonard Cohen's article needed a death subtitle because the article itself already has other subtitles and also it has more information on the death subject rather than: [Name] died on January 1, 2019 from pneumonia in London, aged 77. I found in that case like: Masahiko Tsugawa there is little info to create a subtitle. That could just be me, but I'll certainly keep that in mind. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 20:38, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

• @TDKR Chicago 101: Great. I saw the length of articles. I presume that's why you added stubs to them. Though I feel it helps having that subtitle if an article is atleast 4-5 sentences in between its introduction. Going forward, I will try to improve the ones I find than leaving unattended MyPeople76 (talk) 20:50, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Once again, thank you for creating 2018 Horizon Air Q400 incident. We need to put more recent news articles on here. I found the perpetrator Richard Russell did not here in the early today and made it. I hope to learn more from you. Best regards MyPeople76 (talk) 01:55, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Donald Trump

If you're going to tag this article as needing update, could you indicate somehow (maybe on the talk page) what it is that needs updating? Otherwise, there are so many possibilities that people might not know where to start. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:51, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

John McCain edit

Just FYI, this edit you made put the article in a maintenance category. I fixed it, but you might want to make sure parameters you add aren't already there. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:14, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

About the National Museum of Brazil fire.

Hello TDKR Chicago 101, how are you? I saw that you started the page about the fire here, so I'd like to ask: may you also help to translate the (https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Comunicado_sobre_o_Museu_Nacional/en) to Simple English? Thanks, Erick Soares3 (talk) 11:51, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Hurricane Florence 2018

Hey TDKR: Are you praying for those people in North and South Carolina as Hurricane Florence brings herself ashore? I feel really bad for those people in the Southeast as that storm hits them hard. This hurricane could cause damage similar to Ike ten years ago. Angela Maureen (talk) 06:18, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Category:Infobox person using alma mater

Hi, TDKR. I noticed that you recently created this category, and categorized it into Category:Deprecated parameters. However, the alma_mater parameter is not deprecated. There are parameters that are not deprecated that are tracked via categories like this. (Don't ask me why they're tracked -- I have no idea!) When creating this kind of category, please make sure the parameter is actually deprecated before putting its category in the deprecated parameter category. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 09:13, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Template:Annual readership

I noticed that you added this template to a number of talk pages. Is this something you plan to put on a lot of talk pages, or that you think we should all be adding? If so, maybe you could discuss so that people know if it's expected. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:32, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

• @Auntof6: Yes I the purpose of the readership is to have almost all article talk page to have them so we can track the viewership and trends of the article. I grew to admire the usage it had on the English and was curious to apply it here. I will personally begin the long process of adding it to all talk pages that have been created or should be created. It would be great for other users to do the same because at the English Wikipedia, almost all article talk pages have them. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 03:36, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Then, for now, please stop adding these and get consensus that this is something we want here. Keep in mind that it creates a new maintenance burden for everyone, not just you. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:34, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
    • @Auntof6: I apologize and I hope you or the community know that I added those templates here because I just wanted to improve the community. I had good heart in doing this, and as reflected in my 15,000 articles I only want to improve the community. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 05:32, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
      • Yes, I think you do some good work here. I'm not saying we shouldn't use this template, just that if it's going to become standard we should discuss it to make sure everyone is on the same page. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:46, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

• I was just about to come here and say the same thing, we don't tag talk pages of articles here like they do on en. So creating talk pages just to put a template like this on would be against prior consensus. I don't really have an issue with it being on already created talk pages, but that is a slippery slope usually. -DJSasso (talk) 10:59, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

About Deaths in 2018

Hello, The two people are dead and you wait the next day ?! Remove the portrait of Aznavour ?! What if you put pictures the next day? All is too big, then?

Maybe when putting this code [[File:Charles Aznavour cropped.jpg|thumb|right|65px|{{center|[[Charles Aznavour]]<br>1924 – 2018}}]]

Charles Aznavour
1924 – 2018

until tomorrow we will not have the impression of vandalism. The next day you may be doing otherwise or you will separate the spacing of the text. No ?

Best regards. --Eihel (talk) 01:12, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

• If you see the other Deaths in <insert January-September month> 2018 you see that I always put images when there is sufficient entries so the format perfectly fits. Don't worry Mr. Aznavour will be added. Believe me. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 01:14, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Template:M

Hi, TDKR. I noticed that you recently created this template. There are some issues with it:

• The output on the page is abbreviations that won't make sense to our readers. Remember that people who don't know English well also won't know what abbreviations of English words mean.
• It assigns categories with names that aren't meaningful (for example, Category:M w and Category:M ww).

One minor thing: when you bring a template here from enwiki, please also bring its doc page.

Because of these issues, I have removed the template from the two pages that were using it. Can you suggest text that would be meaningful when displayed on a page, and category names that would be meaningful? --Auntof6 (talk) 07:29, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Improper move

You made an improper move by recreating the article and a redirect instead of simply using the page move button. This has the effect of obscuring the article GFDL history of previous editors. Someone who knows what they are doing will now have to clean up behind you. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 13:48, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

• @Til Eulenspiegel: It is not improper if the majority of the articles relating to the subject is titled "Sahle-Work Zewde". And please be more respectful and not rude. Any other issues there are more editors who "knows what they are doing" go to the English Wikipedia talk page, here I'll give you the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sahle-Work_Zewde --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 17:16, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Please pay attention to what I just said. Re-read it again if you have to . Simply put I was referring to your improper method of recreating the article and a redirect, instead of simply using the page move button. This is indeed improper, as it split the previous contributors between two different GFDLs that have to be merged by an admin now . I am aware that the hyphen is OK. Til Eulenspiegel (talk)

@Til Eulenspiegel: Once again please be respectful not rude. You see I tried doing so but it did not work. This happened: I tried to move Sahlework Zewde to Sahle-Work Zewde, but since the article with the name "Sahle-Work Zewde" was created it would not let me move the information from the page Sahlework Zewde to Sahle-Work Zewde because "an article with that name has already been created". Frustratingly tedious it is. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 17:37, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Yes, Wikipedia is frustrating sometimes. Usually if the only thing there is a redirect creation it allows anyone to delete it, but maybe not Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 17:45, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

TDKR, If you have this kind of issue again, please contact an admin to do the move for you. Admins can do such moves even when a page already exists at the desired new name. That is much easier than having to do the merge afterward. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:27, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Nicolás Maduro

Hi, TDKR. I wanted to let you know that I removed your recent changes to this article, because they were not in simple language. Feel free to put them back if you simplify the language. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:12, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

• @Auntof6: Gotcha, I'll revert your edit and simplify right after. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 07:13, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks. Would you please also simplify 2019 Gabonese coup d'état attempt and 2019 Venezuelan Presidential crisis? I know you work a lot on political articles. It's probably tempting to use the standard language that's used in news reports, but that's usually too complex for here. Please watch that. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:18, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

RfD nomination of Julian Castro 2020 presidential campaign

An editor has requested deletion of Julian Castro 2020 presidential campaign, an article you created. We appreciate your changes, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Please comment on the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2019/Julian Castro 2020 presidential campaign and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also change the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns. But you should not remove the requests for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you very much.

Administratorship

I'v been thinking this for a while but how are you not an admin? You have 87,000 edits and are a value to this Wikipedia. Do you just not want adminship? IWI (chat) 23:08, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

• @ImprovedWikiImprovment: I have thought about it for a while while reflecting on the amount of articles I have created and the edits I have made. Sometimes I feel I am nowhere near to be worthy to be an admin. Though someday I would like to be an admin here after nearly serving this Wiki for seven years. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 23:12, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

You're more than worthy IMO. The only thing that could hold you back is the political infoboxes, although I doubt this would have an effect. I can't foresee a basis for oppose. IWI (chat) 23:14, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

@ImprovedWikiImprovment: I am very politically active and proud of it, but also a dedicated Simple Wiki User. If needed I would remove any political info from my User page, but I would love to have the honor of being an admin. This year I will push myself to become an admin. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 23:17, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

I hope you are successful. I would nominate you, although it seems you don't want that yet. Like I said, I find it very hard to believe, looking at recent RFAs, that you would be opposed. IWI (chat) 23:22, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

@ImprovedWikiImprovment: I would be honored to be nominated for adminship at any given time. Thank you for the opportunity! --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 23:26, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Okay then:). You're also being very humble here, which is a good sign. IWI (chat) 23:31, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @ImprovedWikiImprovment: Since TDKR was nominated before, you might have to create the nomination page a bit differently from the usual way because a previous nomination page already exists. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:39, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes I have, its located at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TDKR Chicago 101 1 (I think that's the custom). All you have to do is officially accept. IWI (chat) 23:44, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

I suggest you participate in some AFDs and revert some vandalism by watching the Recent Changes page. Ensure you put warnings on the user's talk pages by using the warning templates at the bottom of this page. Doing these things now, during the discussion will increase your chances of success. IWI (chat) 11:56, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

You would make an excellent administrator, TDKR! You've done pretty good work here! Keep it up! Angela Maureen (talk) 13:55, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

It’d be interesting to see your input on the current request for admin ship then, September 1988. IWI (chat) 14:19, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Wish

Hello. Help improve for article en:Maureen Wroblewitz. Thanks you.Mailien12 (talk) 04:21, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Result: not successful, but don’t be disheartened

You should take this result as positive criticism, as opposed to a failure. Here are the things you should do if you want to become an administrator in the future:

• Revert vandalism – the best way is to monitor the Special:RecentChanges page. Ensure you warn users using the templates at the bottom of the Wikipedia:Vandalism.
• Participate in RFDs
• Tag new articles for quick deletion, where appropriate – new pages are shown at Special:NewPages.
• Participate in more talk page discussions.

These things will increase your chances hugely since they were the only things holding you back. Regards, IWI (chat) 16:07, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Weather

I just realised that you probably live in Chicago by your name. If so, how did you deal with that? I thought 0°C (32°F) was cold over here in the UK. Anyways, stay safe. IWI (chat) 08:42, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

• @ImprovedWikiImprovment: - It's pretty intense, but we're used to it. 32°F over here is grilling season for us! What does get annoying is that your hands get numb like every four minutes, but once again we're used to it. The wind chills are intense! Our houses are pretty insulated and heated so we could deal the cold. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 08:45, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

On the rare occasion we do get a little bit of snow (like an inch), motorways come to a standstill and schools close (exactly what’s happening today). It’s safe to say we couldn’t deal with it. There’s no way trains would be running, like they were in Chicago. Anyway, looks like it’s warming up a little over there, so should be over. IWI (chat) 09:12, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

North Macedonia article

I noticed you had moved the article... did you note this discussion? Operator873^talkconnect 20:16, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

• @Operator873: I did, but I thought since English Wiki did it I thought it would be good if we did it as well? --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:03, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Brian Cox

When you bring a page over from enwiki, even a dab page, it needs to be checked. This page is using a template we don't have and it uses the term film director which should be changed to movie director. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:44, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Excuse me TDKR: I was creating the page Christchurch mosque shootings at the same time you were. How did that happen? Angela Maureen (talk) 07:35, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Asking for Advice

Hello, this is user:19chseld 408 that is working on a project by exploring Wikipedia and writing an article about a female author. So I want some advice on improving my Wikipedia article since you did so many edits on the "Ronald Reagan" article.

Alan García

Hey TDKR, how are ya? As I have an extremely limited knowledge Spanish speaking skills, would you be able to help me confirm this source about Alan García's apparent death? Thanks, —Jonny Nixon (talk) 14:54, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

No worries, death confirmed by numerous sources including NYT, BBC, AP, etc. —Jonny Nixon (talk) 16:10, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

• @Jonny Nixon:: Hey Jonny it's great to see you back! I'm good, how are you? Sorry for the late response I was at classes! --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 16:23, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

I'm very well thanks, don't apologise its no problem at all. Thanks, —Jonny Nixon (talk) 21:19, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Death articles

Every link on those pages were notable, that is the requirement to get on the page on en.wiki which is where the page was imported from. The Death/Birth articles are very good examples of where there should be red links because it shows us the notable articles we are missing and should be creating. -DJSasso (talk) 11:09, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

• Thank you for helping me expand the Deaths in 2016 articles! Eventually I'll create all red linked articles from July 2016 to December 2016 however some articles may be notable at English, but some won't be here (ex: article only have one line, one reference, may be redirected, etc.). I've been doing it like that since Deaths in 2015 I believe with help from Mr. Jonny Nixon! Trust me all your hardwork will be worth it once Deaths in 2016 is finally completed like the other death pages. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 11:13, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

2020 United States presidential election

Can you please take a little more care with the references on this page? You are consistently causing it to be in Category:Pages with reference errors. Thanks Nunabas (talk) 15:07, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Lots of new pages, lots of hard words

Hi, TDKR Chicago 101. I think it's great that you're adding so many new pages here! But the words you use are not simple. The English in them is like the regular English Wikipedia, and that's not so good. I see I'm not the first one to say this to you. Auntof6 said it here and here.

You are making very many new pages, and you're making them so fast. If I went after you and tried to make every one simple, I could not keep up. You have been here some time, and I think you know that there is no deadline. Would you please slow down, and use simple English? Thank you. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 10:30, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Happy birthday!

Today of all days I decided to visit your Userpage for the first time. I see you have been here for seven years! Thanks for all the work you do here. Ottawahitech (talk) 02:49, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Michael E. Krauss

Just a couple of notes:

• The expression is "shy of", not "shy from"
• That expression isn't simple anyway, so I changed it to "before"

As always, any questions, feel free to ask. --Auntof6 (talk) 11:09, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks

A quick thanks for the articles you create. --Wyatt2049 | ^{(Talk) or (Stalk)} 16:20, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

explosion happened today Baozon90 (talk) 19:25, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

• @Baozon90: Well aware, but it is not notable. Even the English Wikipedia's version of the article doesn't even mention the explosion. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 19:25, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia Asian Month 2019 potential organizers for Simple English Wikipedia

Good afternoon, TDKR Chicago 101. Are you interested in organizing Wikipedia Asian Month 2019 with me in this Wikipedia? Here are the guidelines. —Wei4Green • #TeamTrees🌲 20:44, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Nonsimple language

Hi, TDKR. I noticed that you added text to some articles about actors saying that they are "set to play" certain roles. That phrasing is not simple. I suggest saying something like "going to play" instead. I've seen many examples (not necessarily in your changes) of us using language that is commonly seen in news media but which is either complex or jargon, and it would be good to avoid that. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:37, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Quds Force

Hi, I would like you to review my edits for making the article Quds Force. It's not complete, but it's at least a little bit of info added there. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | changes) 04:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

• @Qwertyxp2000: I reviewed it and added a little more current info along with the logo. Good work overall! --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 04:46, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
