Pakistan in the 44th Chess Olympiad

Hi there, I don't know how familiar you are with the participation in Chess Olympiads, but Pakistan registered one team in the open and women's events each. This means that they appear on the lists of participants in both events and entered the process of pairing but were not eventually paired because their players didn't arrive (see here and here). Therefore, it's appropriate to make a distinction compared to the countries which haven't registered any teams at all, such like Bosnia and Herzegovina or China, so striking the name of the country is the best solution. A similar situation happened at the 42nd Chess Olympiad when a number of African teams were on the lists of participants but their players didn't arrive. You can notice in the article that the names of these countries are also stricken in the table of participating teams. Best regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 21:57, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello Kiril, I am passionate about chess but like you said not familiar with what FIDE considers 'participation', however I love wikipedia editing and am familiar with the rules for editing wikipedia pages (as in what is acceptable/reliable and what is not) technically the space name must be changed as 'participating team' implies team which participated so the reason given by you is not acceptable and the country must be removed from the space, however wikipedia editing ethics also state that if you could give a parallel example of such case which was resolved in similar manner it is to be accepted. 42nd Chess Olympiad had similar problem like you said and therefore the edit is accepted.

Have a nice day! MindOfOm (talk) 12:28, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sidemen (YouTube group). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Sahaib (talk) 16:03, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Ok I won't make that edit again, but I fail to understand how it was vandalism? I just thought Simon Minter and Harry Lewis should be linked but I realized they didn't have a wiki page so I linked to their sidemen wikifandom. Wikipedia allows us to link to external pages, not trying to be argumentative but I would like to know what mistake was made so that I can improve and not make that mistake again.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2023 Sudan conflict, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Economic Times.
