Userpage

Welcome/bienvenue. I noticed that you created the page Utilisateur:Philh-591. Unfortunately, the French word "Utilisateur" is not a valid namespace on English Wikipedia... "User" is the equivalent here. You may wish to copy any content you want to keep from Utilisateur:Philh-591 and paste it into User:Philh-591, your userpage. It's likely that the former page will be deleted. Thanks/merci. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:38, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Philh-591

Good start. Of course it needs more references. Happy editing!

@North8000: Thank you for the note. It's actually the book that is more significant and notable. It's an interesting historical view of the state of sail. I'd added the book as further reading at Sailing ship and Sail plan and as references at Davit and Preussen (ship) so readers can be aware of it. The book may warrant its own page, particularly in a few years when it drops out of copyright and its illustrations can be quoted more freely. Conveniently, the illustrator is on the same copyright schedule.

The book may be the only significant thing the 2nd. Baronet ever did, but as his page was a missing link between the 1st. and 3rd. Baronets (his father and son, both of whom seem to be more notable) it only seemed reasonable to put in at least a skimpy page to tie them all together and to the book. The baronetcy pages have next and previous sequencing links, so omitting the 2nd. Baronet makes for a red-linked gap.

Hmmm. I see I need to fix previous sequencing link on the 3rd. Baronet's page. I'd only fixed the 1st. Baronet's forward link. And I need to add the baronetcy sequencing to the 2nd. Baronet's page.

Cool. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 18:04, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Additions to dab pages

Hallo, Thanks for adding Henry Wood (scholar) to the Henry Wood (disambiguation) page, but please note:

"a" or "an" aren't used when listing people in dab pages
we don't say "wa/is ..." in the entries (except for the primary topic at the top), we just add name, dates in brackets, comma, description
we don't end each entry with a full stop

If in doubt, please follow the pattern of the existing entries. I've tweaked your scholar to fit the pattern (as laid down in MOS:DAB).

I also trimmed the note about the Primary Topic HW,at the top: readers won't be likely to land on the dab page wanting content about him, as the most likely route to the dab page is from the primary topic, his own article, so brevity seems a virtue here. PamD 14:14, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
