Disambiguation link notification for August 20
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Boyette, Florida, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Riverview, Florida (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

intentional link to disambiguation
[edit]Hi, I noticed some recent edits "fixed" links to disambiguation pages, for example by changing Woodbridge (disambiguation) to Woodbridge. However, WP:INTDABLINK describes why such intentional links to disambiguation pages should always have "(disambiguation)" in the link, even if that is a redirect. older ≠ wiser 18:27, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride 2014
[edit]Hi Moreau36. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:43, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Checking the list
[edit]Hello. I am WP:boldly culling the membership list of the Los Angeles Area Task Force. Some people don’t participate any more. Because you joined more than ten years ago, I am asking if you still want to be listed as a participant. I’ll be deleting those who say no or don’t answer, and then we can move merrily forward.

FIPS Codes
[edit]I see that upon updating the CDP related articles for Colorado, that the FIPS Codes were deleted. The FIPS Codes are different from the GNIS codes in which the United States Census issues FIPS Codes to each entity and the codes are standard in all place-related articles.In addition, not every place with an FIPS code has a GNIS code and vice versa. Cheers. --Moreau36--Discuss 09:55, 4 February 2021 (UTC).
- FIPS geographic codes are being phased out. Please see Federal Information Processing Standards#Withdrawal of geographic codes. I've left city and town FIPS codes intact for the time being. Yours aye, Buaidh talk contribs 02:52, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
