Beatrix Potter

Hello. I wanted you to know that I have reverted your edits to Beatrix Potter, both because her birthplace is already mentioned in the infobox and because internal redlinks should not be removed. Internal redlinks are deliberate, and are there to inspire editors to create the redlinked articles (see WP:REDLINK). Thomas.W (talk) 12:39, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits to WHSmith article:

Dear @Tcbently:

Many thanks for your recent contributions to Wikipedia, and especially WHSmith. However you left you edit summary box blank, meaning other editors/users "may question your motives for the edit", "because it may not be obvious what the purpose of the edit was". "It is considered good practice to provide a summary for every edit, especially when reverting (undoing) the actions of other editors or deleting existing text" - after investigation, your intended edit was indeed to delete existing text, but for the better of the article. This is admirable and bold. I am not saying your edit was incorrect, I am simply saying it was a good/positive edit, but you must remember to summarise your edits on wikipedia. Otherwise it is unclear of your edit for other users, which may even lead to your edit being wrongly reverted... then even possibly resulting in an edit war - but not with me, I don't believe in them. (Complying with; WP:FIES, WP:BB, WP:EW)

- If you have any questions/comments relating to the WHSmith article, please start a discussion on the WHSmith talk page.

- If you have any questions/comments relating to this post, please simply reply below, remembering to indent you line with ':' at the start of the line and pinging me so I receive the message with the code:

Anyway, nice speaking to you; see you around!

Disambiguation link notification for July 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Wrestling, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mick McManus. 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) 09:02, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
