2011 Scotland Windstorm

I note your comment that the 2011 Scotland Windstorm has never been known as Gustav; if you check back in the page's history, you will note that it has already been removed, but has crept back in. I have just added a {{clarification needed}} tag against its naming, and intend to removed it again in a few days time, or sooner if I can get evidence that the name is spurious. Please reply either here or on the Talk:2011 Scotland Windstorm page. Tim PF 13:20, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with you about where to merge Gustav (sic), but could you indent your contributions to Talk pages, please? The normal indent is the colon (":"), like at the beginning of this, but the asterisk ("*") generates a button, and a hash sign ("#") a numbered list (there may be others).

This is double indented by using ("::"). Tim PF (talk) 17:33, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More on Talk page protocol

We were all newbies once; I only get frustrated with those who never seem to progress beyond that stage (BTW, you forgot to indent your last comment with a triple colon (":::")).

I've just noted your addition to Talk:European windstorm, which you appear to have inserted before the end. New topics should really be added to the end, which will automagically happen if you use the "Add topic" tab, rather than the "Edit" tab. It should also set the edit summary to something like: "(→More on Talk page protocol: new section)". I've moved that topic to the end (and added my 2p to it).
