Your question

My apologies my time online is limited at the moment. I hit a wrong key in my edit summary. The section to read is WP:COI. IF you have any further questions I can recommend that you try at the help desk if they don't have an answer I suspect that they will be able to direct you to a place that does.

Annia (gens)

The sentence, "a number of Annii during the Republic bore no cognomen" does not appear to need commas surrounding the phrase, "during the Republic." I admit a certain hesitancy with respect to the technical reasons for comma placement or the lack thereof, as I work chiefly by instinct and experience in this area. But I believe the applicable principle is that in this sentence, "during the Republic" is a restrictive clause that supplies essential detail to the preceding phrase, "a number of Annii." It is not a non-restrictive clause, and does not supply non-essential or parenthetical information to the sentence. I can see no reason why one would pause before and after the phrase. Having seen your work in other articles, I thought I would ask you to have another look. P Aculeius (talk) 13:40, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Policy page edit

FYI, I've removed your text and placed it on the talk page. It wasn't immediately apparent that this was suitable for the lead paragraphs, so I've placed it up for discussion. (Please don't take it as a rejection of your idea; however, note that policy pages are often edited carefully and with much review due to their core importance to the project.) Cheers. --Ckatz^chat_spy 06:58, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Your recently added comment

You recently added a comment at the wp:verifiabiity talk page under the "support" section for the proposal. It was not clear whether you intended this to be only a response to the previous comment or also a listing under support. Could you clarify? Thanks. North8000 (talk) 10:33, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Welcome

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Peter.loader has given you a WikiTrout! Trouts promote WikiFun and hopefully this one has made your day more fun. Spread the WikiFun by giving someone else a trout, especially when they are doing something silly. Happy slapping!

Spread the fun of trouts by adding {{subst:Troutalt}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message!

Peter Loader (talk) 12:10, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:List of Midsomer Murders episodes, is considered bad practice, even if you meant it well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Peter Loader (talk) 12:10, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

LOL. That was a mistake. I forgot I was reading a talk page until about 1 microsecond after pressing send. I did consider undoing the edit but as the stupidity would have remained in the history I didn't bother. PRL42 (talk) 12:27, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Mitt Romney's backside

These edits interject unnecessary and immature political opinion/criticism in an apolitical list. This no better than the old edits that called Stephen Hawking a "dirty lying cripple." There are better examples to portray the term that are more neutral and reliable. This is an op-ed commentary-- opinions aren't facts and the materials are not encyclopaedic. Regardless of political sentiment, the content borders on vandalism, and violates WP:NPOV and WP:SOAPBOX. Continue to add or re-add this violative material, and I will bring it to the attention of higher-ups for appropriate action.--ColonelHenry (talk) 13:11, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

787 delays

The fleet being grounded today isn't related to the delay of entry into service. The latter suffered delays, but did happen. Gronky (talk) 23:50, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Catherine Tate Show, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Matthew Horne (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Tristan Farnon (character) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Tristan Farnon (character), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. noq (talk) 14:16, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Tristan Farnon (character)

Hello, PRL42. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Tristan Farnon".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Proposed deletion of Beautiful Minds (TV programme)

The article Beautiful Minds (TV programme) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Appears to fail WP:NTV, tagged for notability since 2018

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.
