Tagishsimon ( talk) 21:38, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Welcome! Just a couple of minor comments. I see that you use ibid in your refs. While that's common in print, there is no "final version" on Wikipedia, and if another editor inserts an intervening ref, the ibid becomes confusing. Better to cite your text at the bottom and use the "author (year) page number(s)" format for the ref. Also note that page ranges should use an endash –, not a hyphen. Keep up the good work Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:55, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello SapientSquid,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Elizabeth Kemp (Q18528586) for deletion, because it's a redirect that seems implausible or is an unlikely search term.
If you don't want Elizabeth Kemp (Q18528586) to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

A tag has been placed on Ethel Watts (Q93858085), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. – dudhhr talk contribssheher 19:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, SapientSquid. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that
Draft:Gyða Sveinsdóttir, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months
may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please
edit it again or
request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot ( talk) 12:05, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi there, SapientSquid. I've just been looking through your articles, reviewing and assessing those requiring attention. You have certainly been making many useful contributions. Keep up the good work. I see from the above messages that you have been trying to create articles with the Q reference from Wikidata. This often appears in redlists when the entry coincides with a name which already exists as a title of an article. When you create such articles, you should change the Q reference to something else, e.g. Jean Doe (painter).-- Ipigott ( talk) 07:14, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

HI SapientSquid, I just wanted to thank you for writing the bio for Rachael Annie Cox-Davies . I have been undertaking searches on primary sources for her bio- so I will be adding some more details with sources (for example about her awards and nursing career) and a photo of her. I am part of the Nurses in Red WIKI group and just wanted you to know what I was building on your work. Thanks @ Mavinhealthhistory Mavinhealthhistory ( talk) 13:35, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
