An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Daria (given name), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Darya Saltykova.

Hi Ser!

Just a couple of things.

The page would probably be called Benjamin Reus, as that’s the more common name.

Also what kind of sources are these Danish sources? JamesVilla44 (talk) 16:16, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Heya @JamesVilla44:, thanks for the message. Creating the page isn't the highest on my list of priorities at the minute - but here's a few of the sources I've found, mostly from national news outlets. One from Danish national broadcaster DR, another from DR again, decently long piece from newspaper Ekstrabladet, another from Sport.dk (and corresponding piece from Ekstrabladet a shorter piece of coverage on him being the first Dane to win at the UK Open from TV2 Fyn, shorter piece from DR again about him gaining his tourcard. Then of course industry standard coverage of his career from DartsNews about him signing with a management company and with a manufacturer. Domestically, Dartnyheder have interviewed him a few times about his career. There's definitely enough here to back up him being a household name in Denmark, and a few more regional sources.

Worth noting that all of these articles call him Benjamin Drue Reus, so I dunno if it's really the more common name? Drue doesn't seem to be a middle name, rather a second surname as is common with Danish names. Anyway as I say, it's not quite top of my priorities atm so if you fancy writing it, you have my blessing to do so. I'm currently in Denmark as it happens so I have the geographical advantage of Danish articles coming up on my searches so I can try provide a few. Best, ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 16:26, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks for the info JamesVilla44 (talk) 16:27, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've just noticed you reverted an edit on the John Fogerty page. I'm sure it's all been done in good faith etc. however the link (72) is not active so users aren't able to verify it. I've done a quick search on USA today and can't find the article that way either. David T Tokyo (talk) 12:18, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the note - though I think you may be confused as my edit restored content from a different reference, which was a Rolling Stone article. I checked the reference before restoring and it does back up the content in the sentence. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 12:23, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. You might want to look at your edit again - it reinstates the line "However, he also expressed a liking for Donald Trump's "rebelliousness" and the appearance that Trump "can't be bought" due to his vast wealth.[72]. As I said before, link #72 doesn't exist - it's a USA Today article from 2007. Apologies for pushing you on this, you're obviously a highly experienced contributor to Wikipedia. If those lines are what you meant to reinstate, it'd be good to get a link that backs them up. David T Tokyo (talk) 13:03, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the line is reinstated but again the reference at the end of the sentence is from a Rolling Stone article. Reference 77, "John Fogerty on New Book, 'Big Lebowski,' Trump", link here. I'll give you the exact quote from that article and all:

So a part of you likes Trump? I like the rebelliousness of him and the fact that he’s upsetting a lot of Republicans. I think that’s cool.

Believe it or not, when Donald Trump first started making noise, I didn’t think that would last five minutes. The fact that he’s the frontrunner just blows my mind. In the beginning, there was a lot of shock value, and I haven’t read all his statements, but I do happen to think that at least he’s shaking things up. I sure like that. The fact he’s a billionaire means he can’t be bought. I mean, I’m a little distrustful of billionaires in the first place, but I like that he’s outside the normal political circles.

ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 13:22, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh. Lightbulb moment. I see what's going on here. I've been looking at the difference between revisions which lists #72 as the reference for that quote. The article itself lists #77. Very confusing! anyway, thanks for persisting with me - much appreciated. David T Tokyo (talk) 14:46, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That makes more sense. No worries, all's well that ends well. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 17:38, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I went to my homepage and saw you were assigned as my mentor? Did you ask for that? I definitely didn't, I don't really intend to become a very active editor. I just edit grammar I see unless something's of interest. Is there anything I need to do? I'm sorry I can't really provide much. --Bervnka (talk) 22:01, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Bervnka:, yeah a few folks get assigned me as a "mentor" when they sign up. It's just a feature so that you have someone you can ask questions to if you ever want to know something about how Wikipedia works. There's absolutely zero pressure on you to become an active editor or anything, and you don't need to do anything - but if you ever do have any questions you're more than welcome to ask me. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 22:06, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
