Wiki Loves Pride 2014

Hi Sandbergja. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer _(Talk) 18:27, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

List of unlawfully killed transgender people

Hello Sandbergia, thank you for providing an additional source for the recent edits. However, I have removed pakistanviews.org again. The site may contain interesting information, but it fails several criteria of a reliable source for Wikipedia. Based on the currently available information, it's practically a news-aggregrating blog but not a reliable publisher of news with journalistic credentials and editorial oversight itself. Anyway, the appaling delay is mentioned in the LAT article as well, so an additional source is not really needed (imo). Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 11:03, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alfred Leo Smith, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Klamath (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
