== Article improvement help ==

Hello Mr. Avery, Brendan Conway, Senior Wikipedia Administrator, recommended that I contact you regarding my Wikipedia article. It was nominated for deletion on December 10th, so I only have four days to respond.

The page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_W._Lopez. As you will see, we have been responding to editorial requests for several months. Mr. Conway stated that it was his opinion that my work was worthy of a Wikipedia article, so I am reaching out to you for help. I was informed that your fee will be $1499. How do I pay you? Shall we communicate via email, telephone, what works for you?

Thanks for you help,

Gary [[User:GW Lopez|GW Lopez]] ([[User talk:GW Lopez|talk]]) 18:48, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Rejected draft reports no longer updating?

Hello William Avery,

The rejected draft reports you created doesn't seem to be updating anymore. The last information is from 10th of September: https://heber.toolforge.org/drafts/filter/20220910. All the following days show an empty report. MKFI (talk) 11:24, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look later. William Avery (talk) 12:32, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It should be updating as usual now. I am subscribed to the appropriate mailing list, but missed this. 🤭 William Avery (talk) 15:46, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! MKFI (talk) 06:19, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rejected drafts report stopped updating

Hello William Avery,

The rejected drafts report has stopped updating, the last information is from 6th of April: https://heber.toolforge.org/drafts/filter/20230406. All the following days show an empty report. Could you please check it? MKFI (talk) 08:22, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. The MariaDB software used by ToolForge was changed from version 10.1.44 to version 10.4.28 by this, and that broke it. William Avery (talk) 10:37, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the quick fix! MKFI (talk) 10:44, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Thanks for helping new drafts I created (like Madeira parakeet and Providence blue pigeon). I know it was a while ago but I truly appreciate it! Underscore1234 (talk) 17:45, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Much appreciated.😎 Glad to know I was a help and not an annoyance!

Invitation

Hello William Avery!

  • The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
  • We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
  • Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
  • Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
  • If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

MOS:RANGE edits

As in this edit, you mention MOS:RANGE as the reason for your edit, but the text you cite does not prohibit the use of en dashes as a separator for a date range. In fact, in the examples listed "For ranges between numbers, dates, or times, use an en dash: pp. 7–19; 64–75%; Henry VIII reigned 1509–1547" the en dash is specifically listed for a range of dates. Why bother "fixing" a non-problem that is specifically permitted by the guideline you point to as justification for your edit? Alansohn (talk) 14:05, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And if you read the guideline a little further it advises, "Do not mix en dashes with between or from", giving the specific example "from 1961 to 1964, not from 1961–1964". Is that not clear? William Avery (talk) 15:25, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Page edit help

Greetings William, I was giving your name from Senior Wikipedia Administrator, Brendan Conway. A friend of mine has a Wiki page nominated for deletion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Boulton

David is ill with COVID and asked me to assist him. I don't have enough experience to update his page to meet the objections to his page. David would like to keep his page. He has a list of more resources that would be helpful to document his case for keeping the page. He asked me to contact you on his behalf, my name is Kevin Manley. Are you available to help with any edits to comply with wiki standards? Kevin Manley (talk) 16:23, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't think I want to get involved with that. I would encourage you to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. William Avery (talk) 07:59, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, William. Kevin Manley (talk) 13:01, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
