I moved the article back to "Stay for Awhile" because that is the name of the song. "Awhile" is the correct term. http://www.dailywritingtips.com/a-while-vs-awhile/ Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:20, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Apologies, you are correct. I found what I thought was a definitive reference for the other (correct) spelling, but turns out that was a different version, not the referenced song. OttRider (talk) 22:18, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Having received a few comments about this edit:
Writing "I will stay for awhile" is incorrect. Since "awhile" has the meaning "for a while", that would be equivalent to writing "I will stay for for a while".
See here for a more fulsome discussion. OttRider (talk) 22:18, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, sir. With respect, you are incorrect. In one of your reverts you give as a reason "awhile is an English word". This is true - "awhile" is an English word. But it is the wrong word following the word "for".

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Adam Rutherford at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 09:32, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
I created a Wikidata entry for Leila Schneps - you can find a link to it under the "tools" menu on her Wikipedia article. You might like to take a look and see whether anything needs to be added. It's always a good idea to make a matching Wikidata entry, when you make a new article here. Good work on that article, BTW!

Hello, OttRider,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Faye Flam should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Faye Flam .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Congratulations! | ||
The Anne Rice Award honors editors who have improved Wikipedia's coverage of women writers by creating a biography of a woman writer who, like Anne Rice, used a pen name, nom de plume, literary initials, or pseudonym on the title page or by-line of her works in place of her real name. On behalf of WP:WPWW, thank you for creating the biography on Leila Schneps, who wrote as Catherine Shaw. --Rosiestep (talk) 20:28, 11 February 2022 (UTC) |
