I cannot find "Mark" anywhere. Could you show any evidence that the proper spelling of his name is Mark, not Marc? Kamdenek ( talk) 22:10, 13 February 2022 (UTC) Thanks...for your patience at the Bethany Dillon article. I have also asked Walter Görlitz to look in and advise. Perhaps the article needs to be moved to a new title. Feel free to talk with that editor.

নিবন্ধ তালিকায় নাম যোগHey there! Are you taking part in the Bengali Wikipedia Competition? I'm new here. It's recommended to add your name beside the preferred topic I want to translate by typing four tildes and my name on the topic list. But how to edit that? How to put my name there? I can't find the editing option for that. মালিহা আহসান ( talk) 11:04, 17 February 2022 (UTC)Maliha Ahsan Please do not abuse rollbackAs in the title, that was a clear abuse of the tool. Please do not use it for anything other than clear vandalism, which my edit to my own comment on the ref desk adding a wiki-link certainly was not. 85.16.43.210 ( talk) 19:17, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
For your work on the Birthday Committee
Your email message (Thursday 17th February 2022)Hello Captain Raju!, Many thanks for your message. I must confess, however, to being rather confused with regard to what It Is that I've done wrong!? Is It my replacement of the short but inaccurate statement regarding the BBC Television film "The Signalman"(1976), that's caused this situation? I assure you that both the script and the sounds In the film itself are exactly as I describe and are therefore proof of the validity of my description. Anyone can confirm this by simply viewing the relevant scenes In the film. I've provided a link where It can be viewed for free at 'dailymotion' [1] - there are many more and I use this only as an example. The only other possibility would be my "User page". When I created my account, and after entering my basic information, I was presented with a 'blank page' which I understood to be an area where a new member should present a short biography (introducing ourselves to the Wikipaedia community). Consequently, I gave a general overview of myself. To be frank, I can't remember exactly what I said because, as It was quickly removed (as you point out), there's no way I can reference It again. It would have been very helpful had you sent me a copy of the article......It's difficult to defend myself when left with no idea as to what It Is that I'm defending myself against!! I'd be very grateful, Captain Raju, If you'd kindly let me know exactly what the problem Is. In any event, I apologise sincerely whatever the issue may be. Please consider my age (58), my health (recovering from radical Radiotherapy for ENT cancer, and disabled with COPD and Arthritis), also would you kindly consider my genuine concern relating (In particular) to the accuracy of Wikipaedia entries; not only factual errors, but also missing words, mistakes In spelling, Grammar and abbreviation - the smallest written mistake can lead to an entry being misunderstood and misinterpreted - a simple and insignificant error can become most serious and profound! Here on Wikipaedia Is where, I hope, my Pedantic, though knowledgeable, nature will again become worthwhile! Science History, Ancient History and the development of middle to modern English are my major fields and which have been and remain my main areas of interest and research. Chemistry was a particular interest of mine which led to further qualification and resulted In my ultimate career......which sadly, I had to retire from, with great reluctance, due to ill health. In case I'm sounding arrogant or even narcissistic, I'd like to make something clear - In my personal opinion, I'm an aging old fool, hoping that I still maintain enough of my faculties to make practical, factual and valid contributions to 'Wikipaedia'. I'm sure that I can continue to make valuable additions. My apologies again, Captain, and I hope to hear from you soon - your explanation will help me to avoid making any similar mistakes In the future. I hope my contributions will be welcomed and I thank you again for contacting me. Thank you, Captain Raju!!!
