Copyedit request

Done

– —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) ~~14:14, 7 August 2023 (UTC)~~ 16:15, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Tenryuu! I hope you're doing well. Sorry for disturbing you, but I was wondering if you could copyedit Mckenna Grace? I'm hoping to get it to FA-status in the future. Obviously, if you do not have the time, that is completely fine and I understand. Have a great Sunday! Pamzeis (talk) 13:51, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pamzeis: Heyo. I can give it a look starting tomorrow. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:46, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partial copy edit request

Read

Hi Tenryuu. Could you have a look at the section I've created, please? Thank you. Jojnee (talk) 18:00, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jojnee: The phrasing looks fine to me, but I'm not sure why you put the references halfway in the section; is everything past that your conclusion? I also don't understand why you've put two items in one reference that are listed differently. Are you trying to bundle them? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 13:41, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply, I apprtciate it. All the information, including that conclusion you've mentioned, comes from the cited sources. I simply copied the already formatted references from another Wikipedia article, and placed them right after the key statement automatically; those should indeed be bundled with their respective lay summaries. Kind regards, Jojnee (talk) 20:15, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Figbiscuits: Kindly reread the page you linked. There is nothing bitey about letting newcomers know that promotion is not one of Wikipedia's goals. If they want a friendlier atmosphere they can go to the Teahouse. Another unsolicited piece of advice for you is to not go around answering questions you don't know the answers to. Lurk more. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 14:07, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to change titles

Replied

Hi Tenryuu! Could you please help me to change the title? From "Huazhu Hotels Group" to "H World Group". Because they have already changed the name, but I find that I can't change the title. If you could help me or tell me how to do it, I will be so appreciate it. Thanks a lot! JOYININ (talk) 07:59, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@JOYININ: You'd need to demonstrate that the majority of English reliable sources refer to it as such, per WP:COMMONNAME. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:48, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, recently most of the English media used H World Group, such as: https://www.ttgasia.com/2023/10/04/a-big-wide-hotel-world/ https://finance.yahoo.com/news/those-invested-h-world-group-141803918.html https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3233944/h-world-chinas-no-2-hotel-operator-aim-wider-network-margins-post-covid-recovery-fuels-turnaround

And they also had the official announcement for changing name: https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2022/0801/2022080103252.pdf. Please review, thanks! JOYININ (talk) 06:51, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove that are Wikilinked or can be sourced, especially the History, Geography and Politics related stuff. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:38, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then you should be able to find sources for them. As {{more citations needed}} says, Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:40, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll. Also WP:BLUESKY, in some cases. You can continue with the other stuff - spelling /grammar /sentence structuring. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:47, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As WP:BLUESKY is an essay and not a policy or a guideline, that doesn't do much to convince me. I'd prefer to see something I can refer to as someone who's not savvy with Indian history. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 17:24, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
