Thank you!

There is no "talk" tab; I assume you mean the "discussion" tab--which for Great War (disambiguation) leads to the general discussion page for ALL disambiguation pages.

There is, as I stated, no specific discussion page for Great War (disambiguation)--or presumably a specific page for any other disambiguation entry.

This is a lack.

GeorgeTSLC (talk) 14:53, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GeorgeTSLC. I fixed the error you found with Great War (disambiguation) (regarding the "fly war" section header). Somebody made an edit that looks like vandalism which changed the header title; I reverted the edit just now. I'm not sure I understand your first point, however, about there being a lack of a talk page for "Great War (disambiguation)" - you should be able to go to the "talk" tab and access/edit the page.

Thanks for bringing the issue to our attention, by the way – however, in the future you can post a report or question to Wikipedia's Help Desk, where users will help answer questions. I'm going to request that your article fly war be deleted now, since I've read it and addressed the concern hopefully. Good luck! :-) Jamie^☆S93 14:31, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So now that the article has in fact been deleted--I hope along with the cross-ref links, which is what led me to create it in the first place--can we delete this section of my talk page?

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Flintlock Fantasy, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Neologism. No Google hits in reliable sources to indicate this is anything but one author's term to describe his own novel.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. howcheng {chat} 03:02, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:42, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize to the SineBot for giving it so much work that I have then immediately undone--or rather, replaced.

Thanks for the copyedits on Red Dirt (film). :) -- Obsidi♠n^Soul 02:20, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Wild Cards, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Deuce (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 14:05, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your recent efforts to improve disambiguation pages. However, please note that, although some dab pages do include lists of people by surname when no article for the surname exists, when such an article does exist the list of individuals belongs on that page, not on the disambiguation page. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reply here. Regards, --ShelfSkewed Talk 23:18, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I assume a "dab page" is a disambiguation page? I apologize that I did not notice any case in which "a list of people" was an entry on any page I edited, and I assume you've fixed my solecism(s). Now that I'm alerted, I draw your attention to the last entry under "Other Uses" on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon_%28disambiguation%29 -- not mine! That too should be removed? GeorgeTSLC (talk) 23:42, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are exceptions for those whose last name, when used alone, nearly always refers to that person (see, e.g., James Boswell listed at Boswell, not to mention redirects like Mozart and Einstein). On the Bacon page, it appears that Francis was added, then removed for the reason I gave you, and then restored--so another editor thinks that Francis is sufficiently well known by his last name alone to justify a separate entry. I would remove it myself, but these individual cases are a matter of opinion. Anything is up for discussion to arrive at a consensus for a particular instance on a particular dab page. (Yes, dab is Wikipedia shorthand for disambiguation.)--ShelfSkewed Talk 05:25, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to be no deletion discussion archive. This means that the article was speedy deleted, most likely for one of the speedy deletion criteria, although some articles are also deleted by OTRS request if the argument is persuasive. I would ask at one of the related projects or an admin you might know has been involved in disputes or clean-up on the page.--Amadscientist (talk) 20:11, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I know nothing of what dispute might have been involved. I probably have never seen the article. Are you telling me that it once existed, or is that a guess? GeorgeTSLC (talk) 13:49, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=1R1zIzg92FHco4d_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_a5yMXa4loVVfYd7&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 21:26, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just read your comment on the Seven (1995 film) talk page. I agree with your idea (somewhat) and will post a response there shortly, however I am writing to you now, and here, about your post. In it, you added three different bare URLs, which doesn't make for easy reading. I added markup to them, showing you three different ways you can add URLs to a discussion in a useful manner. Of course, making changes to other user comments is generally frowned upon, and you are well within your rights to revert my changes out. However, I hope that you leave them as is, so that your comment is easier to read and more likely to spur a discussion, and I also hope that you find the markup useful for future comments.

When the 'welcome' message box was added to the top of your page, there was a problem with how the template was written, hence the lopsided appearance. If you wish, you can have the corrected version added to your page by removing the current text, and then adding,

{{subst:welcomeg}}

in its place, just above your reply there. Cheers - wolf 08:48, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
