Hello, I'm FDW777. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Scottish National Party, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. FDW777 (talk) 12:40, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically File:1965 Jeremy Thorpe.jpg, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FDW777 (talk) 13:55, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Scotland, is considered bad practice, even if you meant 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. Mutt Lunker (talk) 20:29, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Red link categories

Hello, Finchley59,

Please do not add nonexistent, red link categories to article or category pages. They are only added when I will be creating the relevant page soon. See WP:REDNO for more information.

If you wish to propose a new category, you can do so at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects and categories or create it yourself as long as it fits into the existing Wikipedia category structure. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:12, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:List of MPs elected in the 1983 United Kingdom general election

A tag has been placed on Category:List of MPs elected in the 1983 United Kingdom general election requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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. Liz ^{Read!

List of MPs for constituencies in Scotland (February 1974–October 1974) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of MPs for constituencies in Scotland (February 1974–October 1974), is not suitable 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.

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.
