Kidist Bayelegne[edit]

Just a quick word to say that Wikipedia (and more general) style prefers fewer longer paragraphs to a string of short (especially one-line) paragraphs. As the two paragraphs that I merged both refer to her places of domicile, it makes since to combine them. If there's more to say about either part, they can be made into two longer paragraphs.

Kayla and Kaïliña[edit]

There's a discussion going on at Talk:Kayla and Talk:Kaïliña on whether Kayla is the same thing as Kaïliña or not. I was wondering if you could offer any suggestions. Thanks - Mustafaa 01:45, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hello Shiferaw! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 1,093 article backlog.

Proposed deletion of Dawit Tesge[edit]

The article Dawit Tesge has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No signs or assertions of notability. If it weren't so aged I'd probably A7, but there's no rush.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. j⚛e decker ^talk 20:52, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
