OpenARA

[edit]

Being in a foreign language isn't a valid reason for a CSD. {{Not English}} requests translation and allows 2 weeks for that before it's deleted. However, the text describes an organisation and links to its website, looks like an advert ( {{db-spam}} ) to me. I'll leave it to you. Bazj (talk) 14:50, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know that Bazj! I've gone ahead and changed the reason for the deletion request. Wikipedia has so many different reasons for different things that it makes it hard sometimes to put the correct one down. I'll try to get better at these kind of things for the future.

Thank you again Bazj! I'll check it out. Gamermadness (talk) 15:14, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I added your citation to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant for you. If you have to cite any sources in the future, you can use the following template and fill in your information:

<ref>{{cite web |last= |first= |authorlink= |title= |work= |publisher= |date= |url= |format= |doi= |accessdate= |archiveurl= |archivedate= }}</ref>

Thanks for your contributions! Adsci8 (talk) 15:20, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding it for me, Adsci8! The template will be helpful in the future, so thanks for that too. Gamermadness (talk) 18:31, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff Van Drew - is it official?

[edit]

Hi Gamermadness, is his switch official yet and can be sourced? I know there is strong speculation but I have not been able to find anything yet that he has in fact acted in any way. Thanks! S0091 (talk) 23:14, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be an inevitability at this point in time, but I don't believe any registration has officially changed currently. This after a quick Google search. https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/14/politics/jeff-van-drew-democrat-switch-parties-republican-trump-impeachment/index.html Gamermadness (talk) 23:31, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your reply. The article is speculative, using the term "expected" with nothing official from him. I agree it is most probable, I just think it is too early to change his party until it is official with a statement/action from him. S0091 (talk) 23:43, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough and you're most welcome. Won't be too much of a wait I figure Gamermadness (talk) 23:47, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed! Thanks again. S0091 (talk) 23:51, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
