2020 Northern Cypriot election
Hello! Thank you very much for the wonderful work you've been doing lately re. elections in Northern Cyprus. I'm hoping to get the article on the 2020 Northern Cypriot presidential election to ITN after we get the results on the 18th. I'd really appreciate if you could have a skim read of it and let me know if there's any major aspect that I'm missing out on or major problems that I can't spot atm. Thanks a lot! --GGT (talk) 00:29, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- @GGT: Looks good – I've made a couple of tweaks to the intro and a slight reordering. I'll have a more thorough read through later. Number 57 12:03, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
Halesowen Town F.C. Formation
Hello,
While I appreciate and like most of the changes you have made to my additions on the Halesowen Town F.C. page, I do not agree with your decision to change the 'founded' date in the information box. I think it is wrong to state 1870s more generally because it is either 1873 or 1877. There are no other options, so 1870s is too vague. Furthermore, other football clubs, such as Port Vale, use exactly the same terminology to describe their contested formation dates. Therefore, please do not continue to revert to your edit - it is wrong.

- @Benbullock55: As the formation date is disputed between two dates in the 1870s, stating that the formation happened during the 1870s is clearly not wrong.
- When you undid the edit (now twice), you undid the numerous other corrections, formatting fixes etc. Hitting the undo button without looking at what you are undoing is known as a "blind revert" and is considered very poor practice. Please stop doing this.
- While I have let your edits stand, please be aware that it is also considered extremely poor practice to insert references to a book that you have written, as this is a clear conflict of interest. Number 57 17:02, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
My apologies, I was under the impression I was only reverting the one change. Nevertheless, I still disagree with the 1870s alteration. It is not that it is 'wrong', but it is needlessly vague, especially when other clubs use the same terminology I did. I hope it is obvious that I am not a wikipedia person; I did not mean to cause offense or create a conflict of interests. None of the edits I have made are out of self-interest, just love of the club. Please consider changing the 1870s date, I think it would be more purposeful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benbullock55 (talk • contribs) 17:12, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Benbullock55: I haven't seen the Port Vale article, but I personally don't think the wording "disputed" and "speculated" – particularly the latter – is terribly encyclopaedic. In the absence of being able to explain fully the various claims in the space available, I think it's safer to put something that is certain. Number 57 17:29, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
Saint Vincent
Hello. Just to add to it : the debates in the House of Lord before the termination of Saint Vincent link with the UK indeed mention there was no referendum (last paragraph). [1].--Aréat (talk) 15:35, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

2020 Moldovan presidential election
Not sure how you start a talk page properly. Just pressed the "talk" button.
My arguments were given there below:
There are more than 2 candidates. You can't place them all there. It would be unfair to place only 2 there.
Please revert your changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandu7ip (talk • contribs) 11:12, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Sandu7ip: The solution is to add the others; I have added Năstase and Usatîi as a start. Number 57 12:06, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Number 57: I have added the rest in the order they appear on the ballot.
