Judith Webb - links to dab pages

Hallo Rich, the sources all describe Webb as leading an all-male unit, but I'm not bothered about the wording - but your edit left "squadron" linked to a dab page. I've fixed it. There's a useful gadget, listed under Preferences, Gadgets, Appearance (penultimate in list) which shows all links to dab pages in orange - I find it really useful in spotting when I've made an "obvious" link which has gone to a dab page. If I remember to preview the page, or check it after editing, which I don't always. You probably use it already and just missed this one. Cheers. PamD 22:45, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is (potentially) useful. I had actually followed the link, and forgot to dab it. Of course more gadgets slow the response time, and help break browsers too. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:49, 5 February 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; you may participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Fastily effect and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Wikipedia:Fastily effect during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Steel1943 (talk) 05:40, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

February 2017

A page you created has been nominated for deletion as an attack page, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 06:16, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I declined the tagging because I'm assuming good faith that you didn't create this as an attack page. Since you have proven your point though, can we delete it as G7? Regards So Why 07:27, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure my point is proven (see my comment on Fastily's page for what my point is) - or to be more accurate, that it has been taken on board by the community at large. Indeed the current Arb case re:Magioladitis indicates that it has not.

All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 12:37, 7 February 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Rich, I had similar thoughts today. I would call it the magnifying glass effect. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:54, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Umborne Brook

The article Umborne Brook has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

not notable

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Peritrich nuclear code

Many thanks for bringing this mini-project up to date! All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:55, 20 February 2017 (UTC).[reply]

I also like your table, though the colour would need to be augmented with a textual cue, for accessibility reasons. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 19:03, 21 February 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Thank you Rich! About the colors, I just fit to the ones already and standardly used in the genetic code tables. All the best! Manudouz (talk) 20:26, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
