Good article nomination for Tracy Lawrence

I nominated Tracy Lawrence for good article nomination back in November and it still hasn't been touched by anyone. Would anyone be interested in reviewing it? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 20:04, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Draft entry for Antonio Neri

Hi, I'm Andrada and I work for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). I've made an account to suggest improvements to articles related to the company, and I've disclosed my conflict of interest as required. I've saved a draft entry for the President and CEO at Draft:Antonio Neri (businessman). I'm looking for editors who can review and move the draft, presumably to Antonio Neri (businessman) since there's already a page for Antonio Neri. Thank you. AMorar HPE (talk) 21:53, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for being honest about your conflict of interest. Please also keep in mind that if you've been paid to edit Wikipedia, you must disclose this. You can submit the draft for review normally. There's a long backlog, though. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation for more details on the draft process. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:31, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Wikidata external IDs in Wikipedia

Dear Project Members,

I proposed a new template which integrates Wikidata external IDs in Wikipedia to channel in reliable sources as further readings - please weigh in on the idea if you have the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)?fbclid=IwAR1jjICvpWSSSqYwzT9IsSjMJxfZ7-vLoGjE2U4BB_zPVTg8EJSQ0qylqHQ#A_new_use_for_Wikidata_external_IDs_in_Wikipedia_(template)
