- Hello @Chicdat, nice to meet you! Want to be in a discussion with you for the your comment on previous edit. Minaill (talk) 13:47, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Minaill, thanks for reaching out! I reverted your edit because it added an inappropriate external link. Specifically, you added a link to a relocation service company to the article on relocation service. Per WP:EL#EL5, such links are discouraged and can be seen as spam. If you want to start a section about relocation services in the UAE, feel free to do so with citations to reliable, independent sources, but please don't include any links to specific company websites. I hope this helps! 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me! 16:58, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hii @Chicdat, thank you for letting me know. Let me try to create some more informational about relocation services, and add a section on the page relocation service.

Your first Commandment
Shouldn't it be "no less say", and not "no more say"? The default (annoying) expectation is for the newbie to deserve less than others, not more. ~2026-44332-37 (talk) 13:20, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
- Wow, thanks! I hadn't noticed that. Feel free to fix it yourself. 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me! 14:40, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
