March 2012

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as on Talk:Boeing 377, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or 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 they said it. Thank you. Comp dude¹²³ 03:30, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Signature

I know I've been bothering you a lot but I promise this will be the last time. I just wanted to let you know that your signature needs to have some sort of link to your user account page and/or talk page, per WP:SIGLINK. To do this click "My preferences" at the top right and in the area where it lets you choose a custom signature, make sure that it's formatted as wikitext, or you can leave the custom signature text field blank to use the default signature. Thanks, Comp dude¹²³ 03:31, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I should mention why it's important to do this. It will allow people to easily access your user page as well as your talk page with links to both so that you can be contacted. This page is pretty much where others can send you a personal message. —Comp dude¹²³ 03:37, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Will do! Chris.Bristol (talk) 13:59, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Great Western Mainline Electrification Progress (April 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Joseph2302 was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at 21st-century modernisation of the Great Western Main Line instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is about a specific improvement, and so I believe it should be merge into the existing article. I see no need for a separate article which effectively just lists the progress of some ongoing rail works.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Pyynikki Circuit

Hi Chris. Thanks for translating Pyynikki Circuit. I see that you added the note "Content in this edit is translated from the existing Dutch Wikipedia article at Pyynikki Circuit; see its history for attribution" to the end of the article. This should actually have gone in your edit summary so that it appears on the article's history page (see Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate). Could you make an edit to the article and use the note as your edit summary? You could use the edit to remove the note from the text of the article. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:55, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, you'll need to change the wording slightly, to something like "Content from previous edits is translated...". Cordless Larry (talk) 07:58, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
