E-mails

You can use "Email this user", but I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as discussions should be open and on the record.
I have experienced problems with e-mails not being delivered, so please leave me a message on this page if I have not replied within 48 hours.

Broadcasted

The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted states the use is sometimes proscribed, so it should not be used. The word also appears on Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/B

Broadcasted appears in some dictionaries, but others, e.g. Chambers state "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found".
Broadcast appears in all dictionaries, and should be used as COMMONALITY - "Wikipedia tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English".

A May 2023 search for Broadcast gave over 234,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 99.
Of these, 16 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 14 refer to a 2015 Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are in quotations.

Misclicked revert

Sorry for this [1]. I'm not sure how it happened but likely due to clicking on a button on a late-loading watchlist. Frost 10:09, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries Frost - we all make mistakes - me more than most - happy editing - Arjayay (talk) 12:19, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon

Review the additional matter that I have added. I added the matter from www.amazon.com site. Is it not a reliable source..?? International Scientist (talk) 07:18, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No Amazon is a sales site, its purpose is to sell things, not provide independent, verified, information (see WP:RSPAMAZON). The fact that something or someone exists, does not make it/them WP:Notable enough for inclusion in our articles.
Furthermore, your addition at English Wikipedia was solely vandalism, even if you had cited a WP:Reliable source - Arjayay (talk) 09:32, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grootslang

Why did you remove my example. - Patagomaia 09:33, 25 Sepetember 2014 (UTC)

Hi Patagomaia - as my edit summary stated "Unsourced + unlinked" - the reader has no idea if it is true or not, and cannot look at a reference, or click on a link to another article to obtain further information. - Arjayay (talk) 08:37, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant pleonasms

Thank you for your edit summary, introducing me to the the word pleonasm. _signed,Willondon (talk) 21:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
