Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Vicinity (disambiguation), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page District energy. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for uploading File:Ben and Me book cover.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:08, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article Adam Rhys Dee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I couldn't establish that he meets WP:NACTORorWP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your edit at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Veiled_Virgin&oldid=713367498 which was 8 years ago added an incorrect source relating to a different artist. The artist referenced in the citation is not Giovanni Strazza, but Pietro Magni. I'm honestly surprised the citation stayed up this long. 2600:8805:6119:9700:41B:252E:3086:58DC (talk) 03:00, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking into this. But I've just checked the source, which states:

Giovanni Strazza was a pupil of Tenerani, and an interesting review of his career will be found in Raggi's life of that master. He was born in 1815 and died in 1878. Pietro Magni (1817-1877) …

So it seems clear that the 1815–1878 dates are intended to refer to Strazza, not to Magni. Of course, the source may be wrong about the dates, but it appears to me that what I wrote was correct according to the source I cited. If so, perhaps it explains why the citation stayed up this long.

If there's something I've overlooked, I would be grateful if you would point it out to me. —Mark Dominus (talk) 21:25, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I found another source that supports the 1818–1875 dates that are in the article now, so I added it. Note that this source also gives 1817–1877 for Magni, not 1815–1878 as you said. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention and for correcting the dates. —Mark Dominus (talk) 01:43, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
