Hi, thanks for your edits. You're doing some great work tidying up post-nominals. It is, though, house style to put a comma between the end of somebody's name and the beginning of their post-nominal letters, eg General Sir Joe Bloggs, GCB, CBE, DSO... The comma just denotes the end of the name, and the post-noms should normally be part a subordinate clause, with another comma after them before the sentence continues. The shortcut to the relevant part of the style guide is " MOS:POSTNOM" in case you don't want to take my word for it. ;) If you think the guide is wrong, you can start a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biographies, and the consensus might (or might not, I honestly don't know) agree with you. Please don't remove any more commas between names and post-noms, but please do keep up your otherwise excellent work. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:03, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello OXONSchoolView, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. MilborneOne ( talk) 20:02, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
Hallo, WP:OVERLINK points out that names of "Major geographic features and locations ..." should not usually be linked, so I've reverted your change to Girls' Day School Trust. Pam D 00:56, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bloxham, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wigginton. 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.

OXONSchoolView ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
I appear to have been blocked by mistake, for something related to User:MariaJaydHicky, of whom I have no knowledge and have never encountered. It might be an IP overlap issue...
Decline reason:
Hello. There is no block on this account so you are likely being hit by an autoblock. In order to clear this block I need you to post the unblock template given to you in the block notification. Chillum 23:45, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Block message:
Block evasion: user:MariaJaydHicky
Accept reason: User is not MariaJaydHicky. Granting user IP block exemption. Diannaa ( talk) 18:26, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Thank you OXON. I am going to consult with the administrator who put the block on those IPs. @ Diannaa: I suspect this is collateral damage given the age of the account and the lack of block history. Do you think the range block should be set to anon only or do you think IP block exemption is better? If you think the range block has hit its target then let me know and I will take that into account. Chillum 18:09, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your quick response Diannaa. OXONSchoolView I hope you understand this was an unavoidable error caused by IP overlap and was not meant to hit you. I hope you continue to contribute to the project. Chillum 18:36, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
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. For the Election committee,
