Civic Front coalition moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Civic Front coalition, is not suitable 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.

Bihać Operation

I recommend removing all or almost all red Wikilinks, as the great majority of what is bracketed are very unlikely to ever become English language Wikipedia articles. David notMD (talk) 13:45, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

David notMD Thanks for the suggestion, I will do that but before I do it, do you have any recommendation of what red links should stay? Also what about interlanguage links, I have found them quite useful. OakMapping (talk) 18:36, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bihać operation

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Bihać operation has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I hope that I have not changed the meaning of any of your text.

A GA reviewer might object to the lengthy quoted outline of the plan and ask you to paraphrase it, but otherwise I think the article is in good shape. Best of luck with the GAN.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:38, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for the copyedit. I checked the article and you haven't changed the meaning anywhere. Great work! Also, thanks for the suggestion about paraphrasing I will do that. Best regards OakMapping (talk) 18:00, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 6th Division (Yugoslav Partisans), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages KIA and Golubić. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I am doing the GA review and willing to work on this with you as Miloš Trifunović is important. BUT, this is a quick fail for me. This is not well written or structured. We can look at the GA criteria for help if you are interested.--Akrasia25 (talk) 19:40, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Miloš Trifunović (politician)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Miloš Trifunović (politician) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Akrasia25 -- Akrasia25 (talk) 19:42, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea why the Legobot placed this notice here on your talk page. Bad Bot? I have not failed the Miloš Trifunović (politician) article. I will go over and complete the review and open to work on some of the issues together as well. good luck.--Akrasia25 (talk) 11:44, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It does that for some reason when an article has a letter not in the English alphabet in the title, I've seen it happen before. Thanks for deciding to review the article. Cheers, OakMapping (talk) 12:17, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Corruption in Chad

Hi, OakMapping. As you know, I've been copy-editing Ustaše Youth recently. Great work. I just have a comment. I was surprised to see the article claims the Ustaše Youth guarded the Sisak concentration camp. I didn't come across this info while I was going through sources for the Sisak article. Do you think that you could provide additional sources to back this up? Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 02:17, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
