Paddy Steinfort
Hello, I'm connected to the subject, Paddy Steinfort and I want to remove the UPE template. It requires clean up. How can I do that? Thank you. Bradgd (talk) 13:50, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- You can't clean it up, because it was you and your company that have been editing it and causing the issues. Once an independent, uninvolved editor has checked it and cleaned it up then the tag can be removed. There's not a timeline on how long that'll take as we're all volunteers here. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:09, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- Okay, I don't work for a company and I don't know who crated it in the first place. Is there some kind of request that I can file for it to be cleaned up? Bradgd (talk) 14:18, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
DYK for Augusto Ibáñez Guzmán
On 11 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Augusto Ibáñez Guzmán, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Colombian Supreme Court judge Augusto Ibáñez Guzmán claimed that in 2008, a dozen armed men stormed his house to steal his personal computer? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Augusto Ibáñez Guzmán. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Augusto Ibáñez Guzmán), 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.
