MOS:SMALLFONT

Thanks for your edits to Nick Brown but please bear in mind MOS:SMALLFONT which says not to use small font in infoboxes and the like. Alex (talk) 15:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the information - Is the guidance on small font not to use it or to avoid using it where possible? I believe that it is beneficial to use small font in infoboxes when referring to acting leaders, changes to ministerial or shadow ministerial posts, etc. Finecolours (talk) 17:16, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aberavon (UK Parliament constituency) Please note that I changed your edit and why (election results reordered from oldest to newest). If you wish to put the arrow symbols in the results again I will leave them there.

Cheers

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights.

Your contributed article, Opposition frontbench of Keir Starmer

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Opposition frontbench of Keir Starmer. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Shadow Cabinet of Keir Starmer. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Shadow Cabinet of Keir Starmer. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. JW 1961^Talk 22:18, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

May 2024

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 22:19, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Breaking up your edits and references

Hi, thanks for your edits to political bios. It would help other editors if you were to break up your edits instead of doing them all in the one go; eg at Phil Brickell you could have edited the infobox, the sections, and added new details, all in separate edits. This allows other edits a better look at what you've changed and makes it easier to adapt/revert them if needs be. For example, at Phil Brickell you deleted the reference supporting his election as a councillor and replaced it with an un-referenced update that he had resigned; don't do this. WP:BLP lays out the rules for living people, but essentially things need references or else they will be removed. I have restored the originally reference with a archived version (there is a bot that would have done this eventually) because it supports the original statement (his election), regardless of whether its now out of date. I have then added two references that support the previously unsubstantiated comment that you had added that says he resigned. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 12:53, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

November 2024

Hello, I'm Gaia Octavia Agrippa. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Alistair Carns, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 23:01, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Peter Lamb (politician). Thank you. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 23:03, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more careful about adding references to details you are adding, or else it gives the impress that you could be adding made up things to articles. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 23:19, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
