Xian (abbreviation)
@Pam, thank you for cleaning up my mess. Again, my apologies for my rookie mistake. Deus vult! Crusadestudent (talk) 21:18, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Wahegurupal Singh
You put a BLP prod on Wahegurupal Singh a few days ago, but it has a message on the page saying you have to substitute the tag! Looks like you put something wrong on it. Wgolf (talk) 04:09, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Wgolf: Thanks for the note - it's just as it says, I forgot it needs subst-ing. Done now. Thanks. PamD 05:47, 13 May 2016 (UTC)±
Disambiguation link notification for May 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited St John's, Castlerigg and Wythburn, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Parish council (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Jesús Torres (disambiguation)
The alleged politician is a footbal player.Xx236 (talk) 08:55, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Xx236: Thanks - I only rearranged someone else's statement that he was a politician, but have now corrected it. PamD 12:04, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
The Signpost: 17 May 2016
- Op-ed: Swiss chapter in turmoil
- In the media: Wikimedia's Dario Taraborelli quoted on Google's Knowledge Graph in The Washington Post
- Featured content: Two weeks for the prize of one
- Traffic report: Oh behave, Beyhive / Underdogss
- Arbitration report: "Wikicology" ends in site ban; evidence and workshop phases concluded for "Gamaliel and others"
- Wikicup: That's it for WikiCup Round 2!
Lol DB
Heh, actually, I thought the list of sites/applications "reported to use" Lin DB to be the most compelling reason to delete. Like, I don't think Oracle DB uses Lin DB--I'm pretty sure it uses, you know, Oracle DB, since that's what it is. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 18:05, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Computer University, Pakokku
I added some material to Computer University, Pakokku, which you prodded. I have not been able to find comprehensive coverage of the university (I don't read Burmese). The new official page is on a subdomain of the Myanmar Ministry of Education (Science and Technology), so that seems like relatively explicit government recognition. The building that appears in various photos on the website and on Facebook seems to match the aerial photography available on Google Maps. On that basis, I have deprodded the article. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 09:56, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Eastmain: That's fine - there's now evidence of the existence of both the universities. Thanks for letting me know. PamD 14:23, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
Contested PROD
I have removed the deletion proposal you made at Pakokku University, as it had been contested on the article's talk page. If you still think it should be deleted, you can take it to WP:AFD. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:15, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
- @JamesBWatson: That's fine - I can see that there's now evidence of its existence, and of the separate existence of the Computer University. Thanks for letting me know. PamD 14:21, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Jean-Claude Bouvy Trophy
I reverted the IP (who added unsourced content to a related article) because they had added content about a BLP without explaining why and without a source (the accessdate for the link you mention is about 8 months before the award was granted!). Hope that clears it up :) GiantSnowman 17:12, 25 May 2016 (UTC) @GiantSnowman: Perhaps adding {{cn}} would have been better - or checking that link, which had evidently been updated since last consulted as it did give his name.

Altarpiece of Veit Stoss editing help
Hello Pam! I'm asking for advice/help from a more experienced editor, not because I suppose you know anything particular about wood-carved altarpieces in Poland. This page is very minor, and has <30 watchers, so I am not sure how to get another opinion about my comments on the title, on the talk page. Can you have a look? Thanks. Imaginatorium (talk) 06:38, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
- I've had a look ... and left a note on the talk page and a request for help from the experts at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Visual_arts#Article_title_help_needed. PamD 17:22, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Alcohol-free bar
Thanks for working on the article. Please note that it was just approved for Main page at Template:Did you know nominations/Alcohol-free bar. However, since you added a sentence that is unsourced, this can disqualify the DYK approval per the WP:DYKRULES. If possible, please add inline citations to reliable sources to your additions. Thanks for your consideration. North America1000 09:18, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Northamerica1000: I've tweaked it so I think it's now all clearly sourced. But the article still lacks focus, just a collection of notes about different establishments with different purposes, whatever came out of a Google search rather than any real explanation of the topic. Ah well, that's how it goes. PamD 16:05, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for improving the article more. It takes time to flesh these things out. For example, I looked around on Flickr for a usable image to upload to Commons, but no dice so far. Cheers! North America1000 22:33, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
