editHello, I'm Netherzone. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Laide Bakare, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. While we welcome your contributions, you have twice added unsourced content to a biography of living persons. A citation in a reliable source must be added to verify the content. Thank you.

- @User:Netherzone do not be too hasty to nominate articles for deletion. If you had done your due diligence, you would have known that the subject is clearly notable. We can better support contributors by helping them learn rather than hastily deleting their contributions. Shoerack (talk) 20:12, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Shoerack -- perhaps you should follow your own advice. 107.127.46.7 (talk) 00:51, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- I am happy to help you learn, but I'd hastily revert any unconstructive contributions from you to protect the encyclopedia. However, if you're interested in learning, the first step is to create an account. Regards. Shoerack (talk) 01:40, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Regarding 2022 FIFA Club World Cup article
editHi Shoerack, thanks for restoring that to the correct revision after I had a mix up with the other World Cup that was played earlier. My deepest apologies though for not doing this myself. Best wishes. Tropicalkitty (talk) 00:54, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- No worries; we all make mistakes. Regards. Shoerack (talk) 01:35, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
Regarding Mass Effect: Citadel Edit
editHello, i noticed you reversed by addition of a plot summary for ME3: Citadel. It was because of a lack of sources, but i do not know how to add them and i am quite certain the plot summary was accurate (having played the DLC multiple times). Could you add that summary back and add the sources for me? Thanks. Noahop3000 (talk) 22:21, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- I will take a look at it tomorrow. It's late here. I'd restore it if I found sources to support it. Shoerack (talk) 22:54, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Think it could be put there anyway? My view is that there should be at least some kind of plot summary for people to see. Basically, to leave it there for someone else to put the sources in later. Since you can't find any and don't know how to put them in anyway, Noahop3000 (talk) 01:24, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- I can't find reliable sources to support the contents of the plot. Shoerack (talk) 23:41, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Not even the Mass Effect wiki? The missions are on there. http://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Citadel:_Shore_Leave is the link to the first mission. Could also look up the Clone Shepard/Maya Brook's wiki pages there.
- It's interesting there are no links though. Should have been enough to play the game but i can see your point. Noahop3000 (talk) 00:00, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Be careful when you are reverting edits
editHi, I'm just here to ask why did you revert my edit. Please check carefully what you are reverting instead of jumping from one edit to another without noticing the nature of the edit. In this case, for example, I added an edit summary about the edit but you seemed to have ignored it. Also, please warn or notify users when you revert their vandalism/problematic edits. Thank you and keep up your anti-vandal work. Timothytyy (talk) 10:20, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- @User:Timothytyy Please provide a link to the specific article or edit. Regards. Shoerack (talk) 10:23, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- I think you can check your contributions page if you want to know; anyway its this revert. I strongly recommend you to provide a summary about your revert; I believe you can do that in Twinkle. Timothytyy (talk) 10:27, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- There was a mix-up with the article. I apologize for that reversion. I agree that that section is better here. Thanks for stopping by. Regards. Shoerack (talk) 10:39, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Embassy of Ghana, Seoul moved to draftspace
