However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.

Not a problem, bot. Someone appears to have replaced the image with a Commons image derived from the same Flickr photo: <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Burger_Baron_(2776677087).jpg>. Delete away as you may... Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 17:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Hthompson2000 on Conservative Party of British Columbia (03:19, 1 June 2024)

hey, i was wondering if you could help improve my citation and paragraph regarding Lorne Doerkson leaving BC united for the BC conservatives --Hthompson2000 (talk) 03:19, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

@Hthompson2000: You're writing about this edit, which was the addition of: "On May 31, BC United MLA and BC United caucus chair Lorne Doerkson crossed the floor to the conservatives, giving the party 3 MLAs[citation]". You added that sentence to the article after you posted here, so I am unsure what you are asking. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 12:28, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

i was just looking for feedback on ways to make the citation look better, and also improve my addition Hthompson2000 (talk) 13:56, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

@Hthompson2000: Nothing stands out as an issue with your addition. You could learn more about referencing, including formatting, by starting here: Help:Referencing for beginners and then go on to reading the advances articles on citations. Feedback around here is somewhat imprecise as others review edits you've made to various articles as, if, and when they become interested. And there's the guidance found in the essay BOLD-revert-discuss cycle. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 14:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Supertuna2024 (14:02, 13 June 2024)

Hello. How can I easily edit the contents? --Supertuna2024 (talk) 14:02, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

@Supertuna2024: Are you speaking about a specific article you wish to edit? If so, which article? In general, at the top of each page is an "edit" tab. Try it, for example, at Wikipedia:Sandbox, a practice area where you can make changes. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 14:29, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

@SoCal Geoff: Er, was there a question? Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 22:15, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from MTB50 (10:23, 22 June 2024)

Hello Geoff,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Mahdi, and as a newcomer to Wikipedia, I highly appreciate your support and guidance in advance.

I've just published a draft article about the late Dr. Ghada Hijjawi Qaddumi and have submitted it for review (bless chatgpt for making the process easier than I thought it would be). Would greatly value your feedback on the draft and if you have the authority to approve it, that would be great too.

You can view the draft here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Dr._Ghada_Hijjawi_Qaddumi

Thanks a bunch for your time and support.

Kind regards, Mahdi B. --MTB50 (talk) 10:23, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@MTB50: The draft was deleted earlier today as it was determined to be: "Unambiguous advertising or promotion: see WP:COI, WP:RS, WP:Notability (people), name is wrong in title." In any case, drafts are reviewed by a separate team of volunteers, not me. I recommend reading the policies linked in the deletion summary: WP:COI, WP:RS and WP:Notability (people), as well as Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox_or_means_of_promotion.

Thanks, bot. That was a stub left after a move. Tagged it for CSD myself today. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 03:25, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
