Question from [[User:Techkidy|Techkidy]] (14:01, 29 March 2025)
Hello Eddie, could you guide me on how to submit an article for review? The article is drafted in my sandbox. --Techkidy (talk) 14:01, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
:Hi @Techkidy, sorry for the slightly delayed response, but it looks like you have figured this out. Please let me know if I can help you out with anything else! Eddie891 Talk Work 20:06, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from [[User:Jahm Mackenzie|Jahm Mackenzie]] (08:17, 2 April 2025)
Hello Eddie, I'm Jahm Mackenzie (first real name John).
What is your concise definition of an editor? --Jahm Mackenzie (talk) 08:17, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
:Hi @Jahm Mackenzie! That's a good question, there are so many different types of editors. I guess it's anyone who wants to contribute to Wikipedia's goal of providing the sum of human knowledge for free? Eddie891 Talk Work 20:12, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Question from [[User:Otetele|Otetele]] on [[Draft:Lameck Otete Elijah]] (07:30, 3 April 2025)
Hello
How do I create a citation --Otetele (talk) 07:30, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
:Hi @Otetele, you basically just cite something by putting
tags at the end of the material you want to cite. So, something like this
:: {{xt|The sky is blue.
:would give you this:
:: The sky is blue.891, Eddie. The Colour of the Sky, p. 153.
:{{reflist-talk}}
:Does that help? If you use the visual editor (or the 2017 wikitext editor) to edit, it will give you templates that you can use to generate citations just by hitting the citation button :) Eddie891 Talk Work 08:00, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from [[User:Jahm Mackenzie|Jahm Mackenzie]] on [[User talk:Jahm Mackenzie]] (05:50, 13 April 2025)
Any ideas about this blocking Eddie?
I'm not at all annoyed by it, just trying to cut down a bit on a lengthy and over-referenced
history. --Jahm Mackenzie (talk) 05:50, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
:Hi @Jahm Mackenzie, I don't honestly do too much with blocking, but there's a few reasons we might do it. The most clear cut are accounts that are clearly violating Wikipedia policies, i.e. attacking other users, uploading copyrighted material. The hardest cases are when it becomes unavoidable to block a long-term good-faith user. Still, even those are sometimes necessary, as hard as it may be to make the call.

Regarding an deleted article
Hello there, hopefully you are doing good.
Last time in 2020 you deleted the article Hussain Saddam (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hussain Saddam), that time the person was not notable enough and had failed different parameters. Later he rose to the rank of President of Bangladesh Student League, which is the largest student political organization of Bangladesh. He has been a part of this organization as president from a long time, and was part of the July Revolution (Bangladesh).
Is there any way to undelete it? Or should I rewrite it and submit it? ᶜᵒᶥᵒⁿᵉᶥ (talk) 18:54, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
:Do they now have significant coverage (ie newspaper profiles) that they did not have before? That would be the true indicator of notability. Eddie891 Talk Work 08:08, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
::Yes, they have significant coverage now. Another fact is as an aftermath of 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement, he is fugitive. ᶜᵒᶥᵒⁿᵉᶥ (talk) 15:43, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
:::could you link the significant coverage he has received since 2020 here? Eddie891 Talk Work 16:09, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

there are numerous sources, but here are some of them. A few of these are in Bengali language, Id suggest you to use a translator while reading. ᶜᵒᶥᵒⁿᵉᶥ (talk) 17:03, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
:::::Ok, I would say that there does seem to be a decent amount of post-2020 coverage, that at the least a new AfD would be merited. You can go ahead and rewrite the article, I would suggest using draftspace. If you want me to restore the original article as a base, I would do that. Note that I'm not endorsing notability here Eddie891 Talk Work 08:50, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for improving article quality in April! - My story is about music that Bach and Picander gave the world 300 years (and 19 days) ago, - listen (on the conductor's birthday) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:17, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
I finally managed to upload the pics I meant for Easter, see places. - Also finally, I managed a FAC, Easter Oratorio. I wanted that on the main page for Easter Sunday, but no, twice. You are invited to join a discussion about what "On this day" means, day or date. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:30, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from [[User:ARGONlST|ARGONlST]] (03:11, 22 April 2025)
Hi! I've been expanding the home equity article. Is it robust enough now to remove the stub tag? What is the process for that? --ARGONlST (talk) 03:11, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
:Thanks for your work on this article, @ARGONlST! It is definitely not a stub anymore, a stub is just an article shorter than (roughly) 300 words/1500 characters of prose. I've gone ahead and removed the tag, though you could totally have removed it yourself if you wanted to :). Keep up the good work! If you wanted to further develop the article, I would suggest adding perspectives/information from other countries than the US. Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 08:17, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for taking it off and I appreciate the pointer! I will see what I can find out about other countries ARGONlST (talk) 09:25, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
:::Good luck :) Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you out! Eddie891 Talk Work 09:28, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
::::Hi again! I've continued to work on it and added sections on other countries as you suggested and various release products. I noticed there was an article on all of them except home equity investments so I started an article on that. Would you take a look and tell me what you think? I will keep working on both. ARGONlST (talk) 09:14, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
:::::Nice work! It looks like you have really filled out the article. I honestly don't know too much about economics so can't comment far beyond that. You might be able to comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Economics and ask for some more experienced feedback. But a sincere thanks for your efforts from me!
