Typo
He Minorax. Thank you for moving International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. However, you made a mistake while doing so. You moved the page to International Classification of Disease, singular. The correct name is International Classification of Diseases, plural. In fairness, this is not entirely your fault, because User:Buidhe originally made the typo when she placed the technical request. I have filed a new one, so this will be fixed soon. I've also notified Buidhe. Have a nice day, Manifestation (talk) 17:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Uncle Sam billboard: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Nyook ✉ 09:41, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
