Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working, as you did to William H. Orrick III. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. TJRC ( talk) 20:17, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mauricio Macri cabinet, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Francisco Cabrera. 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.

I am thinking up to five nominations were made for District Courts in Texas today, but probably will have to wait for the morning to find out what they were. I have nothing better to do in the morning tomorrow, so I will probably knock them all out then. I see you got Ms. Sweet up in W.D.N.Y. Thanks. Safiel ( talk) 06:04, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bruce H. Andrews, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.tbilisisilkroad.ge/en/speakers/welcome-panel/48-bruce-h-andrews.
It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to United States order of precedence may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as James Cole Jr.. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 13:56, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Just a note that I changed the hatnote on David C. Nye to other uses. I moved the old page that was at David Nye and created a disambiguation page, since there are now four different David Nye articles and none are a primary topic. Safiel ( talk) 03:42, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michael D. Wilson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kailua.

Hello Snickers2686, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Margaret Workman has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. 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. — Diannaa ( talk) 19:19, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Hey there Snickers2686 - I recently posted some cited information about U.S. Ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman on his article's talk page, with the hope that an editor might want to look it over/incorporate some it into the article. I do work for the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, which is why I do not wish to simply add the info to the article myself (we do want to honor Wikipedia's guidelines about conflict of interest/bias). Having noticed that you've edited his page in the past, I'm wondering if you'd be willing pop over there and give it a look? Even just a comment or some recommendations on how to proceed would be very helpful, as I am new to Wikipedia and know that there are sensitivities around credible editing. Thanks!

I've noticed that you've been changing {{ start date and age}} to {{ start date}} in company infoboxes with an edit summary "Years since formation not necessary". Although you're correct that it's not necessary, it's fairly commonplace and useful as most companies actually use the {{ start date and age}} parameter in their infoboxes (for example, see BAE Systems, a Featured Article, or other large, high-profile companies like Apple, Inc. or Microsoft). In fact, it's actually a standard part of Template:Infobox company for users to copy into articles. So, please stop changing it throughout all company articles that you come across without discussing it on their respective talk pages. Thanks! Jauerback dude?/ dude. 12:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

I am Weiwen Leung, a student at the University of Minnesota. I am currently conducting a study on how people on the LGBT+ Wikipedians group use and contribute to Wikipedia.
Would you be willing to answer a short 5 minute survey? If so, please email me at leung085@umn.edu. It would be helpful if you could include your Wikipedia username when emailing.

Thanks for fixing these up, [1] it is appreciated. I've been trying to figure out who the committee-members will be (i.e. their names), when January 2017 rolls around and the confirmation-hearings begin. Is it true that we simply don't know that info yet, and that the repub-controlled Senate will figure out who the committee-chairs are, and each major-party caucus will figure out what the committee-assignments are, in January? Or do we have preliminary information already, on who exactly is going to be assigned to what exact committee? No problem if you don't know these answers, or if you'd prefer to wait until January when the official committee-assignments are formally annouced, of course. 47.222.203.135 ( talk) 14:23, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
