Disney Wonder

Thanks for reverting my edit of the Disney Wonder's godmother (Tinker Bell). I was aboard the Disney Wonder (where it's spelled Tinkerbell) when I made the edit, but after doing some research, because of your reversion, I see that they have it spelled incorrectly on the ship.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Curtis Allgier, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kuna. 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.

Regarding your posting of fraudulent speedy delete tags on new articles

Greetings! I noticed that you posted a speedy delete tag on the article Temple of the Vampire, under the fraudulent pretense of criteria A7, a criteria that the article clearly does not meet. I then examined your user contributions and saw that you have done so with other articles as well. The placing of fraudulent speedy delete tags is a form of lying, and lying is a violation of Wikipedia's civility policy. Please refrain from placing fraudulent speedy delete tags on new articles in the future. Thank you. Best wishes! In Soviet Russia, babies eat YOU!! ( talk) 04:57, 22 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading File:Sheetheads.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi, I'm new here and want to contribute to Wikipedia. I'm a bit lost as well but I noticed you were part of "Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Paris".

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Link to cheese from list of French cheeses

What's wrong with a link to the wiki page on cheese from a page listing French cheeses? The french cheese list page doesn't explain what cheese is, the history, or how it's made, etc. Why did you revert my addition? I added the link because I ended up on the list of French cheeses somehow, and I couldn't find a link to cheese. There's nothing wrong with having a link, but in wiki rules, there shouldn't be multiple links to the same thing on the same page. Lkingscott ( talk) 09:30, 20 March 2017 (UTC) reply

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Link to cheese from list of French cheeses

What's wrong with a link to the wiki page on cheese from a page listing French cheeses? The french cheese list page doesn't explain what cheese is, the history, or how it's made, etc. Why did you revert my addition? I added the link because I ended up on the list of French cheeses somehow, and I couldn't find a link to cheese. There's nothing wrong with having a link, but in wiki rules, there shouldn't be multiple links to the same thing on the same page. Lkingscott ( talk) 09:30, 20 March 2017 (UTC) reply

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Your survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_0vJgmMFqeNFUX2d&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs ( talk) 21:00, 9 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Francis E. Dec

I've landed here at the end of a fruitless search for a copy of the now-deleted Wikipedia article on Francis E. Dec. Do you know if it is preserved anywhere, and if so, where can I find it?

Sand Cat

Hi Seduisant: would you have time and be interested to review the Sand cat page? I recently worked on this one, collated material that wasn't referenced previously and updated it. So I wonder whether it is now in a shape for uprating to B- or perhaps even A-class. -- BhagyaMani ( talk) 17:17, 13 December 2018 (UTC) reply

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
