Speedy deletion of Chop (Navy)

A tag has been placed on Chop (Navy) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Icewedge (talk) 01:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Chop (nautical)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Chop (nautical), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Your edits to Wootz steel and Lost-wax casting

Your recent edits to wootz steel could have all been done under one edit. Please do this in the future because it is frustrating and annoying to review 20 edits when they could have easily been done in one edit. Thanks. Wizard191 (talk) 18:58, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I assumed that numerous small edits were preferable, in order to document each change separately. I'll save all my edits in one pass in the future. Karl gregory jones (talk) 15:42, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When it comes to relatively simple and/or minor edits, such as spelling, wikilinks, and brief copy editing its perfectly OK to combine them all into one edit. Just put in the edit summary that you've "added wikilinks", "ce" (copy editing), "sp" (spelling correction), etc, or any combination of the aforementioned. Thanks! Wizard191 (talk) 17:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have done great edits on Lost-wax casting, but you have made numerous small edits there as well. Please make all of the intended edits first, and then save the page, this saves server space and possibly prevents annoyance (as seen above). But thanks for the good work, though! Greetings, --Satrughna (talk) 13:21, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Satrughna, I'm glad you like the edits. I get a lot of pleasure from cross-referencing information -- I'm kind of obsesssive about such things -- so I'm pleased to find that somebody noticed my efforts. And thanks for the heads-up about making edits in one pass, I didn't know that it saved server space. Karl gregory jones (talk) 15:42, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Polycaprolactone, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anaerobic. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:58, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

James William Lair

Hello,

A careful reading of the section that confused you would have shown that while Lair predicted the fall of Lima Site 85, Shackley's prediction of its fall burnished his (Shackley's) reputation. I have made a minor change to further clarify the distinction. Georgejdorner (talk) 16:48, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
