Hey! Nice work on the DYK article today. I was looking through your contributions and you've created so many articles on great topics. I just wanted to say that I think you do wonderful work! :) Ganesha811 (talk) 15:32, 25 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hey Ganesha811, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm just happy to do my part and spread the knowledge around, while giving people the recognition they deserve. I really appreciate this. Droodkin (talk) 15:38, 25 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
While we're there - can you check or correct the image description in the article and in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Habiba_Alsafar_for_UAE_Gov.jpg? It's from this YouTube video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89dFR8rFyXc, and Arabic is all Greek to me so to speak, so I just decided to label it a government promotional video. If your Arabic is better than that, could you double-check or correct? Thank you! --GRuban (talk) 21:15, 25 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hey GRuban, good catch with the screen-cap. I'm more than happy to help. It looks like you were right the first time, it is a promotional video published by the UAE government's official YouTube page and it's Alsafar explaining her work. So suffice to say, your label is correct. Droodkin (talk) 21:22, 25 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

On 8 February 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mastoureh Afshar, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Iranian women's rights activist Mastoureh Afshar organized the second Eastern Women's Congress, held in Tehran in 1932, which drew delegates from Afghanistan to Zanzibar? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mastoureh Afshar. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Mastoureh Afshar), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello! You uploaded this photograph as a picture of John Cadbury. User:Subratadass has indicated on my talk page that the photo is actually of George Cadbury. Do you have any insight into the matter? The picture certainly looks like George, but there aren't that many pictures of John out there, so it's a little hard to compare. A reverse image search shows that Getty has it marked as George, but it's not inconceivable that they might be wrong. Thoughts? —Emufarmers(T/C) 19:41, 13 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Emufarmers! I tried looking up both Cadburys and they appear to be closely resembling each other or may possible be the same person photographed. I uploaded the current photograph of John Cadbury from a website I cited in the source and assumed it was him but seeing the gettyimage now, I'm not too sure. Perhaps we can put a disclaimer caption in the article, something along the lines of "photo believed to be of John Cadbury"? Interestingly enough, this photo from The Telegraph claims this is what John looks like. It's all rather confusing but thank you for bringing this to my attention. Droodkin (talk) 05:35, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, The Telegraph's picture of George looks different enough (maybe it's just the change in facial hair; I don't know) that I suspect the identification as John may be a mistake. I notice that the rather odd website you took it from has "getty" in the URL for the picture, and Getty does indeed have a picture that's nearly identical, or perhaps the same photo in sepia. I don't really know who to believe! —Emufarmers(T/C) 08:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Emufarmers and Droodkin Droodkin Any update here ? Another link for John Cadbury straight from the Mondelez Website which lists him as one of the founders

http://mondelezinternational.cms.mdlzapps.com/about-us/our-founders

Do update this ASAP , as this is nothing but spread of misinformation

Hi Droodkin, an editor has tagged Talk:Bahrain requesting a GAR. There was no reasoning provided, but looking at the article, there are a few source tags and there appear to be some missing sources. There's a few unsourced paragraphs too. The article is also a hefty 74kB of prose, with many short paragraphs scattered throughout. I haven't initiated a formal GAR, but at a glance the overall the article seems to remain in quite a reasonable shape, so it'd be good if these items could be looked at. Best, CMD (talk) 07:57, 3 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I have initiated a GAR now at Talk:Bahrain/GA2. CMD (talk) 18:23, 20 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hello User:Chipmunkdavis, thank you for your interest in assuring the quality of Wikipedia's good articles. I have also noticed the article's quality somewhat dip over the past few years and think a review is definitely needed. Unfortunately, work life has kept me busy to even leisurely edit but I hope to be able to fix up the article whenever I can. In the meantime, I would be grateful for any and all points brought up during the review. Hopefully they can be rectified in due time. Thanks again. --Droodkin (talk) 10:26, 22 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
I think the first priority should be looking at the length, otherwise time might be spent fixing up something that goes later. I'm happy to leave the review open for awhile if you are able to come back in a nearish time-frame. If you find some time, remind me and I can also take a closer look.

Hey there! At some point, you signed up at WP:cleanup/Members, and at some later point you were moved to the "Inactive members" section because you hadn't been active on Wikipedia for 6 months or more. I see you've been active recently, so I thought I'd make you aware of this. Feel free to move yourself back to "Active members", maybe freshen up your signature... Perhaps we'll see you around on the main project page, where you can always be of help. Kind regards from PJvanMill)talk( 13:18, 1 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
