Hi. If you could read the guidelines on article naming conventions, referencing articles and categories, it will help avoid getting lots of unsightly improvement tags added to your articles.Deb (talk) 11:55, 25 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Apology

edit

My apologies for trying to help you by cleaning up the manual of style, and invisible characters etc. in Wilson George Leach. Since you went back and removed most of the fixes to text I made, I'll assume you don't want me editing your article. However WP:EUPHEMISM is pretty clear, Wikipedia uses the term "died" not "passed away". Don't be surprised if another editor comes along and tries to cleanup the same text I did, since the text does need to be cleaned up. Again, sorry. Cmr08 (talk) 21:50, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply


Hello Cmr08, I am so sorry, I was not aware of the policy as I am new to this process. I changed the page completely because referencing had not been added in previously, and did not see that particular edit. Thank you so much for the point it out. I will be sure to make that change.

User:RHaworth Please explain to me why you deleted the photo I placed on the Claude Auger page. I have permission from the Department of National Defence to use the photo! 14:48, 23 September 2015. CFHSPAO

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! I saw you created this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Joseph_Knight

Thsi is really good, well done. It is a bit short at the moment, do you know anything else that could go in it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrBauer24 (talkcontribs) 16:23, 4 May 2015 (UTC) MrBauer24 Thank you so much. Unfortunately, that is all that I have on Knight at the moment. If I locate any additional information I will add it asap. Thank you again.Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charles Joseph Knight, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages CMM and Order of Military Merit. 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.

DPL bot Thanks, I have altered Order of Military Merit to Order of Military Merit (Canada) in order to ensure that viewers go to the correct page.

Canadian Surgeon General category removal

edit

Why are you removing the categories from the Canadian Surgeon general articles? --Bamyers99 (talk) 21:08, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I have been rewriting the biographies with information that has been newly found, so the categories that were present no longer pertain to the information -- CFHSPAO
Unless you are changing who the article is about, the categories still pertain. See this edit for an example of the categories and other information that need to be retained when an article is updated: Robert Dupuis. --Bamyers99 (talk) 20:07, 25 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Ok, fair enough. I will ensure I do not delete them in the future.

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, CFHSPAO. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Robert Dupuis, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jmertel23 (talk) 14:04, 6 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
