Help
[edit]Hi FormalDude. Could you take a look at the NYU Law Review's page? This user "Randykitty" for some reason feels the need to erroneously remove our logo from our page. You reversed him once already last year but he just removed the logo again (for the same reason you'd reversed him) claiming the logo isn't being used by the Law Review. Here is evidence of the Law Review using the logo that's on the Wiki page (that Randykitty will for some reason try to remove again): https://www.instagram.com/nyulawreview/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/nyulr/ https://twitter.com/nyulawreview Nyulrlogo (talk) 03:17, 4 October 2024 (UTC)Nyulrlogo

Important: Please update user script installation
[edit]Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to Anne drew, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.
To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js) by replacing all instances of Anne drew Andrew and Drew with Anne drew.
If any of this is unclear, please ping Anne drew for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!
Thanks – Anne drew

Hello Return request Handball player article
[edit]@FormalDude It appears that the article on Moslem Kazemi was moved to draft space because it currently lacks sufficient reliable sources. Wikipedia requires verifiable and credible sources to ensure the accuracy and notability of the information presented. Since Moslem Kazemi is a recognized handball player, adding citations from reputable sports publications, tournament records, and official handball league sources could help meet Wikipedia's standards.
If possible, please consider including more references to support his achievements and career details. This can help demonstrate notability and expedite the process for restoring the article to the main space.
Thank you for your assistance! Moslem Kazemi1 (talk) 08:48, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
