Can Rob Chandra be moved to Draft until i find valid references, he is(was) top Venture Capitalist in Silicon Valley — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raovikramnet ( talk • contribs) 11:35, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello Govvy. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Unwind Yourself, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, or is not a musical recording. Thank you. Shirt58 ( talk) 12:15, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

If you want to improve something, but don't have the time, just leave a request in a section here using ==text==, then wait. I will inform you on your talk page with "Re: Article". Thanks! AnotherEditor144 talk contribs 17:04, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
Govvy most of the articles I put forward are now toast because they're simply not notable. If you don't agree you can either keep making tenuous keep !votes based on WP:MUSTBESOURCES, as you have been, or I suppose you could avail of deletion review.

On 4 March 2021, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Zlatko Kranjčar, which you nominated and updated.

Hello Govvy,
I am, Denebleo, the South Midlands league is the forerunner of the Spartan South Midlands league. And was a feeder to Isthmian League. the teams later promoted to this league can be found here. Why would you delete this page? When you delete my page then should you also delete 1985–86 Eastern Counties Football League or 1985–86 Kent Football League. Why are these pages importanter that the 1985–86 South Midlands League?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Denebleo ( talk • contribs) 15:07, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Can you move my article back from draft space? Because, this is a valid article because I am the person who has invented a month honoring European people and people of European descent. It doesn't exist anywhere else yet, but I made it exist and I'm hoping for more support. Other races have months honoring them, so I started an International European Heritage Month to be fair. ____
International European Heritage Month is intended to raise awareness of, celebrate, appreciate, and prevent prejudice against, these people and their history.
International European Heritage Month was founded by Richard Kutney, a citizen of the USA, on March 3, 2021.
International European Heritage Month is in September. International European Heritage Month happens during the same month that European Heritage Days occurs. Rich Kutney ( talk) 01:24, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Can you move my article back from draft space? Because, this is a valid article because I am the person who has invented a month honoring all men. It doesn't exist anywhere else yet, but I made it exist and I'm hoping for more support because women have Women's History Month and men do not have a history month yet. So I started a Men's History Month to be fair.

Hi Govvy. I saw yor message regarding speedy deletion of the article on International Data Spaces. I must admit that I am a bit puzzled, especially on your characterisation of it being promotional. IDS is a new data sharing standard, supported also by governmental bodies. I assume that articles on 5G or on Open Data Protocol are not seen as promotional since they are there. The reason I created the IDS article was because I was turning to Wikipedia for info on this topic, but I only found a quite extensive German article on Interrnational Data Spaces, but NOT an English one. Sadly my German is not good enough to translate the German article entirely, but I learned that it’s possible to write a stub article on English Wikipedia and add the suggestion that someone translates it from German Wikipedia (this is described in the translation instructions on English Wikipedia which I assume that you know). And as you can see that is exactly what I have done. Is the German article promotional? Please have a look again and then I look forward to your advice. Bjorn.Hakansson ( talk) 18:41, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
That article is important and true. It isn't "promotional"; it's honestly descriptive. My own viewpoint is opposite. Even if I agreed with it 100% it still wouldn't be promotional. If you think some parts are untrue you can fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KyZan ( talk • contribs) 18:46, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Govvy, I just notified that my article is nominated for speedy deletion, may I know why, because it's an actual and real article for my college. Please help me in understanding the subject.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot ( talk) 16:02, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
The person I created the page for is a music producer who has their own Wikipedia page but I was creating it for the albums, songs, etc. he's produced. That aside I was confused as to why it was already in the mainspace when I intended to make a draft for it. I even went to the live desk to ask about it but no one responded. Instead of deleting it, could you have it moved to the Draft space? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 52-whalien ( talk • contribs) 23:46, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Dear Govvy,
I see your support for these articles and I thank you very much. I wish to in the future make them all uniform and neat so that they are not removed again in this way in the future. I honestly do not understand why Onel5969 is so insisting on deleting and blanking these pages!
Once again, I thank you.
And also sorry about Newcastle, (my brother's a Spurs fan too) :(
Sincerely, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apple20674 ( talk • contribs) 14:36, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
NB you cannot withdraw an AFD while there are active 'delete' !votes. At the very least you should have pinged me to reconsider. Giant Snowman 09:32, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi Govvy,
I'm not going to cite the bits that needs sourcing as that will take days; the users (mostly IP addresses) who add such large amounts of info need to do that. I also wouldn't call the templates "incorrectly used". The page is quite long and needs trimming. The pages of Manchester United F.C. and Liverpool F.C. (who are far more successful than Pompey) are far smaller and easier to navigate/read. It's also not normal for a history section to have every season described in detail, it really could use some summary. I'm not really bothered, however, so I won't engage in a revert war. Portsmouth's page has had such templates before so I won't be surprised if they were reinstated at some point in the future. Cheers, WA8MTWAYC ( talk) 12:51, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
@ SportingFlyer:, @ WA8MTWAYC: I actually had trimmed a load out a good while ago. Yes the page is long, and it needs trimming back, but an IP added a load back which I had trimmed even know it is also on the History of Portsmouth F.C. I've had problems in the past trying to trim it down for it all to come back, you're more than welcome to see if you can improve it! Govvy ( talk) 13:38, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

The issue at hand is unique. I have apologized profusely. It is a different issue than has ever been brought up before. I am trying to do better and make Wikipedia a better place. I feel some people are trying to turn it into an opportunity to ban me from the thing I enjoy doing the most in my life. This is not fair. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 15:59, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello Govvy,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:31, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

A website doesn't have to be represented as a URL, it can be the name of the website. Your change was unnecessary. – Pee Jay 14:38, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Well, you qualify for the Club World Cup by playing in European football, right? Same applies to the Intercontinental Cup. If it bothers you that much, change the article title to Manchester United F.C. in international football, but I think it’s fine as it is. – Pee Jay 10:19, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

@ EdJohnston: Okay, on the reverse of the coin now, can you please revert the edit done at 2021–22 Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. season by Deancarmeli who not only just now broke and violated WP:3RR, but is also reinstating an edit which violates WP:ACCESS. I was never the enemy here, nobody wins here, everyone looses, and I am tired of these silly wiki-political games. This will only end up at ANI tomorrow if it's not done. Thank you.

- Before posting a grievance about a user on this page:
- Take a look at these tips for dealing with incivility
- Consider first discussing the issue on the user's talk page
- Or try dispute resolution.
I would suggest discussing the issue with the other editor and see if the two of you can agree on something. If that doesn't work, you can ask other football editors at WP:FOOTY for their opinion and gain consensus for your change. Robby.is.on ( talk) 10:46, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
