PATH SLOPU 05:30, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your feedback and all your explanation regrading signing and everything, that was very kind. I have removed words that were not neutral (such as leading economist --> economist) and added more sources. There are now 16 different sources including the New York Times, the Washington Post and CNBC. I have also added some more content. If I don't hear from you, I will simply remove the neutrality tag but please let me know if it is not ok. @Path slopu:. Lainx (talk) 19:39, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Anat Admati moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Anat Admati, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. KartikeyaS (talk) 06:16, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your feedback which is very helpful as I am new here :) I have re-written the article substantially and removed subjective wording when I saw it (for example leading economist --> economist). I have re-read the article and I think that now each sentence simply states a fact with a source at the end. I have added sources to Bloomberg, NPR, Forbes, The New York Times, The Financial Times, The Guardian, Time Magazine, CNN, The Independent, CNBC, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. Also, I have never met the person and am not in anyway related. The person is one of the few "Most influential people" listed by Time magazine to not have a wikipedia entry so I think it would make sense for them to have one. KartikeyaS, do you think you could have a look and if you have time review the page again? Lainx (talk) 19:49, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Valérie Mignon

Information icon Hello, Lainx. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Valérie Mignon, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 18:05, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Valérie Mignon

Hello, Lainx. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Valérie Mignon".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:36, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

icon Hello, I'm B.J. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Hyun-Song Shin, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ‎ ‎ — B.J (talk) 16:04, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello B.J, sorry about that! You caught me mid editing :). I was going to add them which I have now done. I also will add more sources to this page in general, as it is likely to get attention in the next few days and is undersourced. Lainx (talk) 16:10, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Template syntax

Hello. Just to let you now that the syntax should be {{Authority control|qid=Q29570337}} not {{Authority control|Q29570337}}. But when you link the article to Wikidata it is not needed anyway. Best wishes  Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:33, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

thanks a lot for your help! I had copied this from elsewhere so good to know! Lainx (talk) 12:35, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

June 2026

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Maria Teresa Ramirez-Giraldo when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:03, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

You have done this to multiple articles. Please reply to confirm you understand the above. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:24, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
dear @Zackmann08! Sorry about this! I copied a template from another page that I tried to fix but something went south, sorry about that! I get your point that parameters need a definition to be used. Just to be safe, if you have time, can you also check Julie Le Gallo and Sandra Poncet where I might have used the same template and added a similar mistake. I'll go have a look myself but if you get a chance, happy to have a double check!
And thanks a lot for your help, this is the first time I tried to use the boxes and other fancier things, so something went wrong when I copied them. ~~~~ Lainx (talk) 20:15, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
@Zackmann08 just saw that you fixed the two articles I mentionned, thanks! I'll use them as a standard template for this type of BLP articles, thanks a lot! Lainx (talk) 20:16, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Be careful with categories

At Jockey Club Kitchee Centre, you added a category for the UK club, but the article is about a HK club. Please don't add categories without double checking such stuff, sharing part of the name doesn't mean things are the same. Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here 03:52, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

I.e. Jockey Club Kitchee Centre is not related to Jockey Club Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here 03:52, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
thanks @Hanyangprofessor2 for the check, it was my first time experimenting with categories, will try to thorougly go through the categories before adding! Lainx (talk) 15:14, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
