ϢereSpielChequers is wishing you a griffin's claw full of Seasons Greetings! Whether you celebrate your hemisphere's Solstice or Christmas, Diwali, Hogmanay, Hanukkah, Lenaia, Festivus or even the Saturnalia, this is a special time of year for almost everyone!

Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{subst:User:WereSpielChequers/Dec21}} to your friends' talk pages.

The article Sophia Tolstoy's rebuttal of her husband Leo's accusations has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

content of the page as well as sources have been added to the page of Sophia Tolstaya. This page is now duplicative, the topic does not have sufficient notability in itself and the title of the page is misleading (because the response consists of two separate novellas, which need not be referred to as one item)

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.

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎

On 17 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Prem Bery, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Prem Bery hosted state visits at the Central Cottage Industries Emporium? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Prem Bery.

Hope you are well. I usually steer clear of medical topics but for various reasons became interested in expanding this bio – Marguerite McDonald – and am now planning to submit it to DYK. Could you please review and make sure it looks OK? I am still hoping to find more info to add toward the end of her bio and there is some other cleanup required (e.g. what do you do with bios where the person has so many awards). Checking from a medical point of view would be great but also if you have any other edits or suggestions please go ahead and/or let me know. Thanks in advance and also happy to add you as a "collaborator" if you don't mind. Cheers. Cielquiparle (talk) 18:31, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cielquiparle:... Thanks and have missed the meetups. Of course I will go through... no need to add as collaborator. I'll message back when I think I am unable to do more. Thank you for reaching out. Whispyhistory (talk) 18:44, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for all your careful edits and additions so far! I went ahead and submitted it for DYK so I wouldn't forget and miss the deadline. Really appreciate your help (and still happy to add you as a contributor if you don't mind...but also understand if you prefer not to be added...as I have edited many DYKs that I prefer not to be associated with). Cheers. Cielquiparle (talk) 12:31, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pleasure... @Cielquiparle:... I'll do a bit now and then. The whole story of the origins of laser is quite interesting. Leave the dyk as it is please. I might create some of the others involved. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. :) Whispyhistory (talk) 14:15, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Cielquiparle:... ophthalmology is not my best topic but I did what I can. Do you know if she wrote up the case in a journal (1988)... I couldn't find it? Whispyhistory (talk) 13:08, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Funny you should ask. Could you please look at the references on this page and see if one or more of those should be listed in her article? (Long story but I only just learned about McDonald and the topic via the AfD discussion of one of the co-authors named Frantz. Frantz unfortunately doesn't meet the Wikipedia notability guidelines but clearly Trokel does so great to see he has a page now.) Thanks again. Cielquiparle (talk) 18:54, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
