The MOTD Barnstar | |
This award is given to you for helping out Motto of the day. Thanks to your effort, MOTD has brilliantly and successfully passed the most difficult period of the year. In fact, there are mottoes scheduled until the end of the summer. For this reason MOTD would like to express heartfelt thanks to you for your support. We appreciate your efforts in further helping the project! – delivered by Simply south on behalf of Wikipedia:Motto of the day 23:07, 22 July 2010 (UTC) |
WHAT?!? You are twelve too?!? I've always thought I've never seen anyone my age at WP before. I never bothered to look at your userpage... Good work at the MOTD! (though I still don't understand what you meant by 'suggestions', a few months back). Kayau Voting IS evil 00:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps cutting out copy-vio portions in the case of this clearly notable BLP is a better idea than putting a CSD tag. 203.88.8.1 ( talk) 12:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi, i just undid your edit because the template is better suited at Wikipedia:Motto_of_the_day/Motto_Shop/Templates. Before you add it there though, please note that you should replace your own motto with {{{1}}} and update your userpage. Be sure to update User:Belugaboy/Motto shop/New too.

Hello. I deleted this as an attack page. Started out as a lovely travelogue about Adelaide, right? Then it went on to say some very unpleasant things about the subject. Happy editing. Dloh cierekim 14:03, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello, first let me say thanks for your efforts—NPP is an endless and thankless task, but an essential one. That said, please have a little more consideration over maintenance taggings. Edits like this one aren't very helpful a mere 7 minutes after the creation. I don't know about you, but I can't write a featured article in 7 minutes! It's usually better to give the article a few hours to develop before tagging if it doesn't meet the speedy deletion criteria. :) Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:09, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located here. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:

Hi, about my page on Vincent Allard. I knew him personaly, he was, like I say, my second father. I still have some entomological works to place on this page. Please explain what I must do. I am not a writer, I am only an entomologist. Thanks. Jacqueshb ( talk) 18:08, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Taggings such as this, two minutes after an editor has indicated that he or she will be working on the article for 30 minutes, are disruptive to the building of this encyclopaedia. Please be more careful. Phil Bridger ( talk) 18:27, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi there WVRMad! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.
On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.
Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.
Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

Hello fellow motto contributor. Discussions arer still open on Wikipedia talk:Motto of the day/Nominations#Suggested changes and still require further input especially on ideas 10-17. Please could you voice your opinion as this is going to be closed in early November. Please help out or even make any new idea suggestions. Simply south ( talk) 15:12, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
There seems to be a strange cache problem with these icons that make some of them seem to be facing the wrong way. Add to that the fact that someone has decided that all the arrows should face the same way and there is a discussion over which way that should be, and you have a tangle. sorry about that. There may be more about it on the railway project page. Britmax ( talk) 15:59, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Damn your edit notice is large and annoying.
Regarding your adding the Bristol to Gloucester railway map to a lot of pages - I'm not sure this is useful. They're all linked to the line page anyway. The Bristol railway map is there to give an overview of how the station is in context of the region. If we follow your reasoning, a page like Bristol Temple Meads will end up without about 10 different maps on it, and that tends to break the transclusion limit. - mattbuck ( Talk) 12:57, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Re this and similar edits: on 1 July 1894 the GWR and Midland jointly purchased the Severn and Wye and Severn Bridge Railway, which retained its title; on 1 January 1923 the Midland of course became part of the LMS, but the S&W&SBR remained a railway company in its own right, albeit now jointly owned by the GWR & LMS. That this was the case is borne out by the Third Schedule of the Transport Act 1947, original page 147; (see the PDF linked after "Download Link" here; in Acrobat Reader it's page 151), where it states "The London Midland and Scottish and Great Western Railways Joint Committee (Severn and Wye and Severn Bridge Railway)". Therefore the S&W&SBR was both the pre-grouping and post-grouping railway of this station; it certainly didn't become solely GWR as you are implying. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 20:42, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I think you have the branch to the Template:London Necropolis Railway on the wrong side of the Template:South Western Main Line and pointing in the wrong direction. The funeral trains used to stop at Brookwood and then reverse onto the necropolis railway which was south of the main line. Check the OS map Scillystuff ( talk) 21:51, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
