Query related to your recent edits. I understand you are monitoring a page I, as a new user, have started working on. I would like to request revision or deletion for two of my edits. I did not realize that I was not logged in (I had asked to be remembered), and I made small changes following up on your edits. In these two cases, the revision is now associated with a contributor number which is not me, and not anything related to my computer, so I don't understand why that number was put there. I would like the number removed and replaced by my contributor name, or a deletion of the two minimal edits. Is that possible? SCHSmem ( talk) 19:57, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should
sign your posts by typing four
tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --

I'm looking for guidance and assistance regarding what is presently under the heading of DeCow House and John DeCow. Present usage of the name is DeCew and I would expect that it is through that spelling, enquiries would come although (as is delineated in the respective articles) the name has been subject to various spellings. I put a note on the talk page of the respective articles on the 19th and seeing no response, brought it to a higher level for advice. What's the best approach to take in a situation such as this?

Hi, I'm glad you have become a wikieditor! You say you are trying to make things easier for youngsters. I'd like to suggest something that may make it easier for you as well. In addition to the "helpme" template (isn't it amazing how quickly that works?), you may find knowledgeable editors by going to a related project page. So, for DeCou House, you can look at its talkpage, Talk:DeCou House, and see at the top that it is within the remit of a couple of wikiprojects. I tend to start with the most specific one first, so I checked out Wikipedia:WikiProject Ontario before going to Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada. Both have active talkpages, where you can ask questions and perhaps find other editors with similar interests and concerns. Good luck, and if I can give any general encouragement, please let me know! I will keep this page on my watchlist for a week or so, so if you reply here within that time, I will see it. Or, of course, you can put a note on my talkpage. Again, welcome!

Regarding a user who has incorporated a topic into a biography page that has previously been speedily deleted as a stand-alone page, does this fall within the coverage of speedy deletion? If not, is there a section it falls afoul of? To whit, I'm referring to the "Corposcindosis" component of the Ace Baker page. A stand-alone page on the topic has been twice-before deleted, once in July 2005 and again in July 2009.

Hi. When you recently edited Benajah Mallory, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Battle of Fort Erie ( 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.

Your recent editing history at Rona Ambrose shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Lego Kontribs TalkM 02:38, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Natty, I'm currently reviewing this article at WP:FAC. What would you like to see us do with the lead?

Hello, I'd like to inform you I've revised your last edit to the article. Though Navy Island was retaken by the British, the Republic of Canada wasn't dismantled until after it's capture by the U.S. army in Buffalo, New York. I'd like to avoid going down the path of getting you blocked, because I know how it feels to be blocked for something you're unaware of.

You might want to unrevert your revert on this article. I changed it because I made a mistake by saying that the paper was published, instead of the correct status of the paper that it has been *accepted for publication*. But at this time we have no date for when that publication will occur. That's why I changed it to "accepted for publication". If there was "attitude" on my part it was in my stated reason for changing my original choice of words in the article, not the article itself. But for what it's worth, I stand by my statement that the error I made was miserable and I should have known it at the time. grifterlake ( talk) 22:50, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
