@Xhoel.m: Sorry, despite editing here for over ten years, I am not confident in reviewing articles. -- John of Reading (talk) 15:27, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@John of Reading: Who can i contact to ask for review? Ps. can you tell me if the article is good enough or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xhoel.m (talk • contribs) 12:45, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Xhoel.m: The usual advice given at the help desk is that you should be patient; as the box at the bottom of Draft:Elio Deejay says, "Review waiting, please be patient. This may take 3 months or more". And the question is not whether the article is good enough, but whether the sources you've added are enough to show that this DJ has received "significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject" -- John of Reading (talk) 13:00, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year!

^{Walter Elmer Schofield, Across the River (1904), Carnegie Museum of Art.}		Best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2021.
		Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 15:10, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply] Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania, and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that this was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!

@BoringHistoryGuy: Thank you for the reminder that history doesn't have to be boring! -- John of Reading (talk) 15:57, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but I might be. It's too good a story not to share. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 16:00, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

Hi. When you edited article Blokovi, you translated "Zelenilo" to "Greenery" in reference's translated title of the source article. Since it is name of the public (city owned) company, I left it non-translated, especially since it was in the reference and not in the article. Given the subjects I am working on, names of communal companies appeared, and will appear often, so for the future reference, should I translate names of those companies or not? Or to keep names but to indicate that they are companies? Some names are combinations which are never used even in Serbian language (for example, city rivers are handled by the company "Beogradvode", or literally "Belgradewaters"). Btw, the translation you used is grammatically correct :) Take care. PajaBG (talk) 21:14, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@PajaBG: I didn't realise that "Zelenilo" was the name of a company, and should not have translated it. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:57, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. No problem, no harm done. PajaBG (talk) 22:12, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrissyPhotosOfficial: Thank you, but why do you think I need a WMF Labs account? -- John of Reading (talk) 15:22, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You don't. It took me six months to join this site because I am using a cell phone by T-Mobile. ChrissyPhotosOfficial (talk) 15:24, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mughal Karkhanas

Sir, Kindly help me in copy edit for the subject.Thanks and best regards RV (talk) 08:06, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RAJIVVASUDEV: I've run my usual spelling and grammar checkers on the text. Can you check one of the quotes against the book source? I've marked it with a {{clarify}}. -- John of Reading (talk) 09:27, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your prompt response. Further, I shall try to fix it. Best regards RV (talk) 10:05, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have provided another source. Because the quote is a part of the reference hence allow me to remove. Thanks and regards RV (talk) 10:14, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sharecare article assistance

Hi John of Reading. I work with Sharecare and am helping flag appropriate updates to the article (reaching out instead of making the edit myself per Wikipedia Terms of Use & conflict of interest rules). Do you have a moment to review my request at Talk:Sharecare? It remains unanswered, though I included the edit request template and have posted to a few relevant WikiProjects.

I noticed you're among previous contributors to the article, so I thought this could be of interest to you. Any feedback would be welcome, and thanks for any consideration. Thanks! SCbhaynes (talk) 16:54, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
