Welcome
[edit]Welcome!
Hello, Hawkania, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, some of them have had to be reverted; specifically, the formatting changes to Pluto and the mention of the more recent dwarf planets. (The section you changed referred specifically to the three objects added to the DP category in 2006, as opposed to the current five.) Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}}
before the question. Again, welcome!

- Thanks for the question. While Makemake (and the newest DP, Haumea) are listed elsewhere in the article, the section you're changing is referring specifically to the 2006 event, when only Ceres, Pluto, and Eris were in the category. Hope this helps. --Ckatzchatspy 23:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. Yes, Haumea was just named a few days ago. It is (if I recall correctly) farther out than Pluto, but closer than Eris and Makemake. Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 23:21, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Repeated adding of material that has been removed and noted as vandalism is the hallmark behaviour of a vandal. I'm sorry that I got it wrong, but I suggest that you start using edit summaries to avoid the appearance of vandalism. Cheers. Prince of Canada t | c 23:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- That would be why I said 'sorry'. Prince of Canada t | c 00:16, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Hi there. 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. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name 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) 23:20, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit]The reason why Maria de Jesus is not listed is because we have chosen not to list any world's oldest persons on the deaths list. This is because the world oldest person changes frequently and if we were to list them then we would be listing a new one every few months. Also we are trying to save space on the article (it gets really long by the fall) so we are really careful with who we put on the deaths list. --Tocino 18:24, 7 January 2009
- In agreement, with Tocino. GoodDay (talk) 20:35, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- If De Jesus had broken Calment's longevity record, then I would've accepted her inclusion. GoodDay (talk) 23:33, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- I've only removed it once. Note: There's was no consensus to add her. GoodDay (talk) 23:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Why should De Jesus get mentioned & not previous Title Holders? Do we also, go over the YEAR articles & add deaths of the Tallest Person in the world Title Holders, The Shortest, The heaviest etc, etc? GoodDay (talk) 23:57, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Much better, thanks. GoodDay (talk) 00:54, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit]Why is the country not England? That's where the hospital is located. As the England wiki page says, it is "a country that is part of the United Kingdom". Fortibus (talk) 18:10, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
I live in the UK, it's not England. Hawkania (talk) 20:05, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
