Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Co-operative Bank, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Equity (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.

Hi,

I really don't want to edit war over this, so if you really feel that that I'm wrong, feel free to take it up on the talk page of the article. Basically, if it is an "Alliance of Christian people" it should be Christian People's Alliance. If it is an "Alliance of Christian peoples" it should be Christian Peoples' Alliance. There is an outline, albeit a fairly poor one, here.

All the best,

Thanks for uploading File:An Independence from Europe.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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 19:26, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article Julie Ward (politician) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hello, H2g2bob. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Anneliese Dodds, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Anneliese Dodds to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

A tag has been placed on Minuswelt Musikfabrik requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Epeefleche (talk) 03:56, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thanks for responding to my alteration on election candidates. I am relatively new as a contributor on Wikipedia

My source for the alterations made, came direct from Sid Cordle, who is finalising the list of candidates. The delay is due to unforeseen personal circumstances (Sid's, not mine). I am also monitoring the CPA web site, where alterations are being made to prepare for the 2015 General Election

The article Minuswelt Musikfabrik has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

NN label (unsourced in years, website blank)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Hi H2g2bob

In this edit in Feb 2015, you edited the page Ulster Mid (UK Parliament constituency). It had been a redirect to Mid Ulster (UK Parliament constituency) since its creation 9 years, but you turned into a substantive article, apparently by copy-pasting from the Mid-Ulster article.

This amounted to content forking, which is a Bad Thing. If you believed that the article would be better at the new title, the best step was to move it, or open a requested moves discussion.

I have just reverted the forking, by once again redirecting Ulster Mid (UK Parliament constituency) to Mid Ulster (UK Parliament constituency), in this edit. I have also merged across the info which had been added to the forked article but not the original, in these edits.

This has all been a bit time-consuming to unravel. Please in future could you move pages rather than forking the content?

So far as I can see, "Mid Ulster" is both the official title and the common name, and there are no naming conventions to override that. If you disagree, you can of course open a WP:RM discusion. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:12, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello H2g2bob,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Consumer enablement for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hey, fantastic app mate, really love it, but it seems that with the most recent Firefox update it has been deemed "unfit for use" by the browser and has been consigned as a "legacy addon" that cannot be re-enabled without an update.

Any chance of getting one through? I'd really love to use this app again, it was quick, smooth, reliable and very easy to use whenever I needed it, I've also been having a lot of problems with my replacements ...

Let me know if you release an update, it would be really good to know =] You can contact me at unplug@ghost182.33mail.com
