It's not immediately obvious what the M in WP:NBAMREL WP:NBAMREL stands for. —Bagumba (talk) 01:49, 9 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- But I guess you were only mimicking WP:MREL (marginally). —Bagumba (talk) 01:51, 9 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Bagumba: Yeah, it was simply meant to mimic the RSP rating system (which says "marginally"), hence the section header links. Oddly enough, my mind often defaults to "medium" or "moderately" whenever I see MREL. Left guide (talk) 04:14, 9 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
Hi, Left guide.
Last month, i created an article for the film Moner Sathe Juddho with a book source and the source also added in to the Bapparaj article, but the ISBN number is triggering an error. Here is the source:[1]

- @Aqsis Bey: According to WP:ISBN, the only valid prefixes for a 13-digit number are "978" or "979" while yours is "984", so that may be the issue. I don't really have experience (or interest) dealing with ISBN errors, so you may want to ask at the Teahouse if further assistance is needed. Left guide (talk) 15:23, 14 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

FYI, I pinged you in this discussion about the ITN posting process but got your account name wrong and so the ping failed. Just making sure you're aware of it. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:29, 18 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
Hello Left guide:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
