Hello, per your edit to Murder of Stephen Lawrence, i.e. does not have a comma after it in British English. Therefore, I've removed the comma that you added. Graham 87 04:28, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
I am sure your cutting of this article's explanation of how the Supreme Court replaced the Appellate Committee was well-intended -- you noted that this was not relevant as JS was not joining the Appellate Committee but the Supreme Court. However, if you continue in the article, you will see that later on there is a comparative discussion of the tiny handful of lawyers who went directly from the Bar to the Appellate Committee (as JS has to the committee's successor). For lay readers (like Yours truly), the relevance of a discussion of direct elevation to the Appellate Committee will not be obvious unless they are told that the Supreme Court is its successor.
Best wishes with your future edits. Nandt1 ( talk) 22:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited List of current members of the British Privy Council, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Department of the Environment ( 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.

Hello, I'm rather new to Wikipedia, so please excuse any breaches of etiquette. The original sentence in the article was not a run-on, but I did count nine prepositions, which is excessive and leads to reader confusion. And of course, there was the snafu at the end that I already mentioned. -- Gremlint ( talk) 06:09, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Re this edit: do you really want there to be no full stop between the end of the list and the start of the next sentence?
Really?
Cheers. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 04:18, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your welcome to Wikipedia. However, I have been anonymously editing articles on Wikipedia since 2005, and am not in need of instructions as to how to create an account, or what Wikipedia's policies are. I choose to post anonymously.
In regard to the single sentence added by myself to the Conservative Party of Canada: Abortion section, please note that it is both pertinent to the section and cited from a reputable source, and therefore meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability and relevance.
Thank you for your concern. Please do not merely revise any contribution you do not personally feel belongs on the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.87.37.146 ( talk) 00:15, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. It's great that you're creating these articles (we'll have to wait until they're sworn in for really useful info from the Qld Parliament website, of course), but don't forget to add some basic references, otherwise there's every chance they'll be pinged by the BLP patrol. I've just added Antony Green as a reference to the two you've already done. Frickeg ( talk) 01:14, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
I say go for it (changing the template, that is). They're all members from yesterday anyway; just leave out Bulimba, Mackay and Yeerongpilly (and maybe Thuringowa - Katter seems pretty sure he's won that one, so I'm not sure what's going on ... I haven't considered it in doubt in the stuff I've done so far) with maybe a note about there being seats still in doubt. I don't think anyone will get worked up about it; we've been through it previously for federal elections and things. Frickeg ( talk) 03:55, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Your changes to the members table are taking it well out of sync with the couple of thousand similar pages. I've restored the "Hon" titles (they're retained for life in Qld) and Douglas's previous service. Content to leave the rest for the time being but try to keep it at least moderately close. The sortname thing is an excellent thing though. Frickeg ( talk) 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
I have seen on several Australian pages where YOU have said some pretty awful and offensive things about my country. If you hate Australia thats fine, but I would like you to keep it to yourself. If you want to reply do so on my talk page.-- Collingwood26 ( talk) 01:35, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I was stalking your user page, as you know I follow elections. I noticed you have the 40th Quebec general election being held before January 7, 2013. Do you know something that I, or the other article editors, don't? As far as I know an election could be called any time in 2013. 117Avenue ( talk) 05:28, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Rrius. I recall that, some time ago, you explained some rules about capitalisation to me. There's a bit of a dispute going on right now at Talk:Royal standards of Canada over whether or not "standards" in that phrase should be capitalised. I'm of the mind that it shouldn't be (my reasoning given at the talk page). But, would you mind having a quick look and giving your opinion? Cheers. -- Ħ MIESIANIACAL 04:50, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi :D This is about you reverting my changes in the infobox on
Next German federal election.
Whether you like naming things like that or not, the official name of the election is "Election for the 18th German Federal Diet" and neither "Next German federal election" or "German Federal Election, <year>". If by Wikipedia guidelines the articles are named like that to be easily accessable for everyone, that's fine. But writing down how the election is called, rather than describing it (which is done by the introduction of an article), is what the name part in an infobox is for. For the name. :) --
