John from Reading

Except to hear from Chris’s lawyer. You don’t have a right to remove his bio HE IS THE SOURCE! Flamingroovies1965 (talk) 18:11, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm confused - what article is this about? If this is about the article Flamin' Groovies, its history shows that I have never edited that page. Meanwhile, I refer you to the Wikipedia policy on legal threats. -- John of Reading (talk) 18:27, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you John of Reading

On a milder note, thank you, John, for spotting this this. 86.140.161.248 (talk) 15:33, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

It takes some heavyweight search tools to find those! -- John of Reading (talk) 15:38, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks John! If you'd care to run a scan of MIS-C, you may well find more chaff for your rock (and any other fixes or hints gratefully received :-) Cheers, 86.140.161.248 (talk) 16:01, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

 Done I spotted only one real spelling error, though both my rules and the built-in AWB rules found some other stuff to change. -- John of Reading (talk) 17:18, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much John! I owe you a drink one day... 86.140.161.248 (talk) 17:40, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Danielewicz

• Hi. Please do not make any action on redirecting Danielewicz to Danielewicz family as this is not correct. I will report action of moving the art. as it was done without any communication with the author. Please await conclusions. It is not correct to redirect to Danielewicz family as it is missleading. There is no one family with this surname but many. Mind the WP:3RR rules Camdan (talk) 10:31, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

@Camdan: There is no need to notify everyone who has edited the article. My only edit, I think, was to add a missing space. -- John of Reading (talk) 09:32, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

In the notification, it say that you reverted. Never mind, sorry if what i wrote was mistake. I think that if anyone wish to redirect art., one should notify the author of the art. Asking people to behave in polite way and cooperate is not much to ask. Camdan (talk) 11:45, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Removal of Links!

Hello John,

I would like to tell about External Link added by me on [[1]] . I have added that page as a kind of Summary where students can read in simple words or can read a sort of summary of wikipedia article.

Most of the students motive once they find article or lesson which are lengthy but takes time.

Would you like to tell me where I can add extenal links(informative content)?

@Shahabuddinwp: The Wikipedia guideline on external links is at Wikipedia:External links; it is more restrictive than many editors realise. The links you added lead to a site that contains adverts, so someone is hoping to make money out of that site. Since all your edits at Wikipedia have added links to that same site, I suspect the site is your own. If that is the case, then by adding the links here you are trying to make money out of Wikipedia, and that is a clear conflict of interest. -- John of Reading (talk) 08:34, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Need some help

Hey John I hope you are doing great. I needed some help in adjusting the barnstar. I want barnstar to be displayed below the commons image which you had adjusted as you can see on my user page. Can you please fix it for me? Thanks.LearnIndology (talk) 15:43, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
