RfC at Stanley Kubrick
This is a courtesy notice that there is an ongoing RfC about adding an infobox to Stanley Kubrick at Talk:Stanley Kubrick. Since you are a previous participant in such discussions, you may be interested in participating. --Laser brain (talk) 16:30, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
Interwiki linking
Our article on the Royal Sardinian Navy has a link to the equivalent Italian article. That article has links to articles in French and Spanish. When I try to add the English article via Wikidata, there is an error message. I tried to file an error report but it didn't look correct on preview, with a redlink despite having the Q number correct. Wikidata is not my area of expertise, are you able to help sort this please?

- @Mjroots: Done. There was a duplicate item at Wikidata, which I have now merged. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:45, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
seems somewhat 'promo' IMO, Im surprised to have been reverted--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 19:47, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- I'm surprised that you thought it OK to remove so much well-cited material, including the article subject being the recipient of significant awards, not least one from the president of his country, and being the subject of national television documentaries.

Category:Refugees by name
Hey there! I am at a loss to comprehend what you could possibly have had in mind when you created Category:Refugees by name. Huh?? Anomalous+0 (talk) 20:01, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
