Udayan Bose article link on google

edit

Hi, the article link of Udayan Bose on google leads straight to Rvsingh12/sandbox, which I created in error and you, rightly so, deleted it. Thank you for that. But how do we now change the link of the article on google so that it actually leads to the article rather than the deleted page. The URL currently on google of the Udayan Bose article is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rvsingh12/sandbox. Is there to fix this and please can you ? Thank you very much Rvsingh12 (talk)

@User talk:Rvsingh12: Thanks for your message. Google indexes things on their own. I have no way to change it. I think ultimately it will be fixed once they update their files. I don't know when that will be.--FeanorStar7 (talk) 10:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguations

edit

Hi! As for your recent edits adding biography tags to disambiguation pages (John Spencer, Li Wenliang, Ken Hermann (disambiguation), etc.), I don't believe that DAB pages have ever been categorized as biographies or tagged with biography tags. If there's a misunderstanding on my part feel free to educate me. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 02:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@User talk:AllTheUsernamesAreInUse: Thanks for your message. I haven't been able to find anything in the MOS about adding or not adding bio tags to talk pages either way (I looked in the WP Biography and WP Disambiguation project pages and their talk pages and archives). I will say that there are over 8,000 articles listed under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Disambig-Class_biography_articles so I think it's permissible. If you can find other evidence or I missed something, please let me know.--FeanorStar7 (talk) 02:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Meylişah Hatun moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to Meylişah Hatun. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and this articles needs inline citations per WP:ILC. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. FULBERT (talk) 21:54, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Article Roberto Lückert León

edit

I apologize for my outburst in that article's Talk page. I had moronically forgotten that my edit was not exactly a new article, and that the rating was therefore for the article as it was before my edit. And it was quite justified for that pathetic little say-nothing single paragraph, of course. Anyway, perhaps somebody would like to rate the article again. I think it's quite a bit better now. Much of it has been translated from the Spanish article, but I have added a couple of new sections that the Spanish article didn't have. Sorry again. Kelisi (talk) 16:31, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

no problem. At the time I saw the article, it was a stub. Now I see it is more than that. I will let someone more knowledgeable rate it, but I will restore the banner shell on the talk page, if you are ok with that. --FeanorStar7 (talk) 17:13, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

TY!

Thanks for all your help categorizing, tagging, and otherwise improving the dang slave trader articles. Appreciate it. jengod (talk) 22:41, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Jengod: Thank you for your kind words. Just trying to improve things where I can. FeanorStar7 (talk) 09:51, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I just spent 12 hours editing the page for Millard Preston Goodfellow, and it said I needed to resolve conflicts. I clicked publish, and now all of my work is gone. How do I get it back? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guylaen (talkcontribs) 09:33, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
