Citing to a paper (your inquiry)

Try this: Good article, and Jimmy Wales is an unconventional maven.^[1]

Your edits to the Jimmy Wales article

I am not sure what you are trying to do. In any event, if you use the reference I gave you above, it should follow the first place where you want a citation. If you cite to it again, the protocol is to reuse the ref name and follow it with a / within the two <>. This would make it look like this: ^[1] You used something about "Indepdent11" or somethign like that, and it was referring back a citation that does not exist. So you get a reference error, which I am sure was unintentional. By doing this, we get the repeated use of the reference, as indicated below. Hope that helps. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 01:43, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Herbert Lom and hačeks on Kuchačevič

Hi.

Re this edit: This is not the way things are done around here. If you have evidence, produce it as a citation in the article or a discussion point on the talk page. We don't deal with secret information that's passed around behind the scenes. As for your bona fides, we always assume good faith, it's one of our rules. But just because you are genuine in your belief about something does not mean you are correct in your belief.

For now, I will be guided by the Czech article, and it has hačeks on both c's. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 06:03, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Irrelevant" comment

You should have edited the Rolling Stones topic better than to simply call my comment "irrelevant", I'd say the fact Rolling Stones were headlining Glastonbury were headlining at that moment was pretty irrelevant too, and you should have worded that better. Corabal (talk) 20:23, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The first comment was there when I looked at the page and I just amended. You can change the entry any way you like, of course.

November 2013

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen song), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- DonIago (talk) 13:27, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Royal Corps of Signals, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Second Gulf War. 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.

I picked someone who has an international reputation but you go ahead and police what you want to.

It's simply as the names listed are more globally known. Listing every attendee defeats the purpose of linking the category. Rusted AutoParts 17:14, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion. There are many more Alumni of BOVTS that are internationally known, and listed, in Wikipedia that you can link.

So? Linking every name defeats the purpose of linking the Category at the top. It's best to provide the names that stand out best as examples. Rusted AutoParts 12:00, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Heysford. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Michael Allen (air navigator), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 11:37, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do understand that - I have been on the site for many years. Which is why I have stated in each edit, why I am making the change. I am not promoting or publicising anything. Just updating the facts. Please advise what information you want so that I can show that these are facts.

Thank you. Heysford, Simon Allen. Heysford (talk) 11:40, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can only prove you are providing correct information by citing an reliable source, exactly like anyone else must. Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 11:44, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would that be quotes from his log books that I have? All the things I have updatd are in his published book. Thank You. Heysford (talk) 11:51, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could cite his book. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 13:17, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
