I just enjoyed reading this – thanks for writing it. I'm curious to know what makes the Chicken Sandwich so popular as they look far too bland and stodgy for my taste -- no sauce, salad or significant seasoning. Even a Big Mac seems more exciting for the palate. Andrew🐉(talk) 20:18, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Andrew! I'm as curious as you, to tell you the truth - ha! Chetsford (talk) 14:24, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Panjshir Conflict

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Panjshir Conflict. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Panjshir resistance. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Panjshir resistance. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Zoozaz1 talk 00:58, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

Just wanted to take the time to thank you for the nice comment you left on the requests for autopatrolled page. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:47, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question about sourcing

I'm new to Wikipedia and I thought I'd take you up on your very kind offer to answer questions. There's a dead CJR link ^[1] being used on a number of pages and I have to wonder, if CJR deleted that page, why it's still being used as a source. Thanks in advance for your help. --Spoonpassport (talk) 02:01, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Spoonpassport, and welcome to Wikipedia! Our policy on WP:RS does not preclude the use of sources that suffer WP:LINKROT; in fact, we explicitly permit WP:OFFLINE sources or those that were once online but have since gone offline. We outline methods to preserve the content of references in these cases (see H:AAS). If CJR retracted the article in question that would, of course, be a different matter. If you have a reference showing that CJR issued a retraction of the article, you should post it to the article Talk page and, I'm certain, editors will decide to remove the reference and any content the reference is supporting. However, the mere fact that a link is dead will probably not be considered by editors as evidence that an article was retracted. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.
