If you'd like some help with editing or otherwise, you can sign up at the new users log, post a question at the Help Desk, or ask me on my talk page.

Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. It is a good idea to read the most recent entries at the bottom of the Talk page of an existing article before making major changes to it, to see if your proposed change has been discussed before. Before I make a major change to an article, I often make a proposal on the Talk page to see if anyone minds.

Again, welcome! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:00, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 13:46, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia requires all information added to it to be supported by a citation to a reliable source. If you wish to add your text again please add a citation in the form used for existing citations in the article. Tim riley (talk) 21:42, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Michela. Please see the Welcome message at the top of this page, which gives links to key information that will help you edit Wikipedia most effectively. I can see that one of the reasons that you have found it difficult to make your change on the Elgar page is because you keep using the word "renowned", which is discouraged on Wikipedia. For more information, click on this link: WP:PEACOCK. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:07, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, Michela. So sorry to have been a grouch before, but I hope and think you've forgiven me. Changing the subject, as a cello specialist what are your thoughts about the Britten Cello Symphony? I'm working on the main Britten article, and I am finding it hard to know what to say about his concertante works. – Tim riley (talk) 20:35, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Julian Lloyd Webber, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 22:10, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Andrew Lloyd Webber with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. Jim1138 (talk) 09:45, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That information should go on Julian Lloyd Webber's page. It is off topic for Andrew Lloyd Webber's page. It definitely does belong on the bottom. Please do not replace it. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 09:58, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the {{Andrew Lloyd Webber}} template. It is off-topic for Julian Lloyd Webber's page. Pages should be maintained per wp:policy and not to the whims of the article's topic.

Hello Cocolinmichela. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Julian Lloyd Webber. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Cocolinmichela. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cocolinmichela|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Jim1138 (talk) 10:18, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the previous section titled Julian Lloyd Webber, you will see that I removed the template and why I did so. Please remember to sign your edits on talk pages with four tildes "~~~~". Also, please note the request at the top of my talk page (User talk:Jim1138) regarding keeping conversations on one page. I started it on your page, so please keep it on your page. You can notify me using {{ping|Jim1138}} (leave out the "tlx|" part) (I suggest you read the documentation on {{ping}}). Thank you. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:32, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it just seems all so complicated to me, much easier to communicate by Facebook messenger, text or email! All this brackets on Wiki...I don't have time to learn how to use them! Thank you for removing the ALW Link from JLW's page. Regards, Michela Cocolinmichela

Thanks for uploading File:A Span of Time.jpeg. 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 12:48, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm Vexations. Cocolinmichela, thanks for creating Elke Gerns!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. If you are writing about your mother, please understand that you have a conflict of interest. You will probably find it very difficult to write a neutral, unbiased article. See WP:COI. Please also note that Facebook is not suitable as a source for Wikipedia, and that you need to demonstrate that Elke Gerns meets our notability criteria for creative professions WP:CREATIVE or the general notability guidelines WP:GNG.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Vexations (talk) 12:50, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Cocolinmichela, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! Vexations (talk) 12:51, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article Elke Gerns has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not seeing anything to indicate notability. At present all she is famous for is being on the Gustloff

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Gbawden (talk) 08:00, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The page is still under construction and I am not an expert on Wikipedia. I am finding it very difficult to add text (too many symbols!!) and the uploading of photographs on Wiki commons.. I thought Wikipedia was not just about notability but about spreading knowledge. Editors seem to be ready to pounce on people and take stuff down almost immediately instead of understanding that people are still trying to figure out how things work!! Considering a website instead. Cocolinmichela (talk) 08:10, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Julian Lloyd Webber, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:20, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The valid reasons are:

- Julian does not wish to have that information there - The information is not correct ( in 1969 Julian was still at college) - this continuous editing/restoring is causing unnecessary stress and waste of time

Julian has already contacted you directly, we kindly ask you once more to respect his wish! Please remove the names and dates of previous marriages, thank you.

Michela Cocolin

Please familiarise yourself with the way Wikipedia works. This is an encyclopedia that collates & publishes reliably sourced facts. It's not like a personal or professional web page. From WP:WELLKNOWN: if material "is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it." You may consult WP:BLPCOMPLAIN about possible further steps you can take, although you should read WP:COI first and take steps to disclose any conflicts: WP:DCOI.

As for 1969: from the interview in March 2012 in the Evening Standard: "His first wedding was at age 18 to journalist Celia Ballantyne. 'I was very young, but we had a good marriage,' he says." As I wrote above, all we do is publish reliably sourced facts. If a more authoritative source can be found, its information can be used. The Birmingham Post article that gives 1974 sounds more plausible, but is not more reliable or trustworthy than the ES, and that's why the article shows both sources and what they write. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:36, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can confirm that Julian and Celia married in 1974. Please do contact me should you need to confirm any information before editing the page in future. Regards, Michela Cocolin

That's not how Wikipedia works. From WP:RS: "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources". Please point to a source that's more authoritative than the ES, which apparently quotes Julian Lloyd Webber. I agree that that year doesn't seem right, but we can't just make things up. In the meantime, I reduced the visibility of "1969" in the article. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:33, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hope the link and the attached photographs help.

Regards, Michela

To be a little more clear - all we need is the publication data for those clippings (name of article, name of newspaper, date of publication). I'm pretty sure that uploading the clippings themselves is a copyright violation. DS (talk) 14:44, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Julian Lloyd Webber, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cello Concerto. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:08, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

A tag has been placed on The Singing Strad, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
