Please create links, like they exist in the French page. I have included a few. There is an error in the French page, it linx a Bruxelles school, not the one in Dakar. Please correct the error, I'm not allowed to edit the French Wikipedia. Xx236 (talk) 10:57, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

HI againXx236. Thanks for the notice. Since this is a wiki you're free edit it at any time. Feel free to introduce links at wherever you see fit. Best! —M@sssly 16:10, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that translation of a page includes linking. A text without linking isn't a complete page.
I'm an expert in many subjects, but certainly not in African culture, so I don't think it were a good idea to contribute. I have shown you how to link. Xx236 (talk) 07:41, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you'd necessarily need any type of expertise to link an article especially noticing that you're an experienced editor like myself, so again, feel free to jump in anytime and help. Linking makes plenty sense and I would highly encouraged it. But I disagree that "translation of a page includes linking" could you please point me to where that is stated? Thanks—M@sssly 11:25, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2018

[edit]

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?

The article Kadidia Diawara has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I apologise for the PROD. I missed the fact she played on the Mali national team, due to it being in the French source and the article not having the infobox which aids information overview. --SuperJew (talk) 22:52, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

Hi. Looking at your recent articles such as the Gabon one, you need to place inline citations after each fact unless the text is all from one source. You can't just have one paragraph and bunch the citation s at the bottom. I checked some and the info was not verifiable in the sources.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:39, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature

[edit]

Please be aware that your signature uses deprecated <font> tags, which are causing Obsolete HTML tags lint errors.

Your existing signature is

<font style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#FF0000 0.1em 0.1em 1.5em,#01EE796D -0.1em -0.1em 1.5em;color:#00000F">[[User:Masssly|<font color="#01EE796D"><b>—M@sssly</b></font>]][[User talk:Masssly|<font color="#FFEG0000"><sup>✉</sup></font>]]</font>—M@sssly

which uses nonstandard color markup. Font colors are supposed to be six hexadecimal digits {0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F}, with pairs of digits representing the amount of red, green, blue, ranging from 0 to 255 in decimal, or 00 to FF in hexadecimal. So the reddest possible color is #FF0000, the greenest possible color is #00FF00, and the bluest possible color is #0000FF. You have color codes with 8 characters, and one of them has a "G", which isn't a hexadecimal digit. So I had to guess at the correct codes, and here is something close, but not exact. Here is a signature that doesn't use <font> tags and has the colors coded with 6 hexadecimal digits:

<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#FF0000 0.1em 0.1em 1.5em,#88796D -0.1em -0.1em 1.5em;color:#00000F">[[User:Masssly|<span style="color: #01EE79;"><b>—M@sssly</b></span>]][[User talk:Masssly|<span style="color: #FF0000;"><sup>✉</sup></span>]]</span>—M@sssly

Will you please replace your signature with one that doesn't use <font> tags and has the colors coded with not 8 but 6 (valid) hexadecimal digits?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
