Disambiguation link notification for May 5
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited IBM Rochester, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bicentennial (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar 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) 09:18, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
DYK nomination of Aluphone
[edit]Hello! Your submission of Aluphone at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

DYK for Aluphone
[edit]On 17 May 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aluphone, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that metal cones, designed to protect the tops of wooden posts, inspired the creation of a new musical instrument called the Aluphone? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aluphone. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Aluphone), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Rollback granted
[edit]Hi Kewlgrapes. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! TonyBallioni (talk) 14:59, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
