GA Review of Akmal Shaikh on hold

The GA review of the Akmal Shaikh article has been on hold for over 30 days. It is near to being passed, but the Akmal_Shaikh#Reaction section needs editing to reduce the amount of direct quotation as per Wikipedia:Quotations, and also to be trimmed in general to meet GA criteria 3(b): "stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail". Any assistance in this matter would be appreciated. SilkTork *^YES! 10:40, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Refactoring comments

I noticed you altered the indents on Talk:2012 Summer Olympics, but in doing so you actually altered part of my post by removing the asterisk. Unfortunately that is classified as refactoring another editor's comment, even by removing the way they stylized the indent of it. Refactoring is frowned upon on Wikipedia. For further information on this, please see Wikipedia:Refactoring talk pages. Thank you. Wesley Mouse 15:52, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

It was a bullet point. It's not that big a deal. The problem was that it moved the indentation (the standard way of formatting talk page comments) and made my comment immediately below yours looked like it was written by you, which I don't think you'd want. Please put the bullet back if you feel it is important.7ofclubs (talk) 16:01, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I normally use indents without bullet points if I am commenting to more than one person. When I am responding to another editor's post specifically I bullet point it to show that its in response to that editor. I didn't add the additional indent onto your post at the time as I knew that too would be counted as refactoring. Wesley Mouse 16:10, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you - but if you had added an indent I really would not have minded. In fact, according to the policy page you have just sent me, correcting indentation levels is actually listed under "Non-contentious cleanup – anything where you are sure that the other editor will thank you for the effort" - so please go ahead and tidy up and indentation as you see fit and accept my thanks in advance for your help in tidying up this particular corner of the talk page. Happy editing. 7ofclubs (talk) 16:17, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I understand "Non-contentious cleanup – anything where you are sure that the other editor will thank you for the effort", but it is a bit of a grey area when the page also states not to refactor. How does one judge if an editor will be thankful of the help? I did similar moves in the past and literally got threatened that I was doing wrong - so now I don't even do it, and leave it up to the editor to reindent their comment. As you have given permission though, I have added an extra indent on your comment and stated that in my edit summary. Wesley Mouse 16:22, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

• Thank you for drawing this issue to my attention.7ofclubs (talk) 16:25, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of BBC Technology

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on BBC Technology, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting 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 with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. DBigXray 10:07, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
