Goujon (automobile)

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Goujon (automobile), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Goujon. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 21:14, 11 August 2007 (UTC)Reply


Warning

edit

Dear Gscshoyru,

this is just to point out to you, that contrary to your warning delivered to me on 26 July 2007, I did NOT vandalise the Portugal page. In fact, I never had anything to do with it !

--Joe Gatt (talk) 00:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hm? When did I give you a warning? I don't see it in your history. I could have given it to the IP you're using though... which back on the 26th of July was used by someone else. Gscshoyru (talk) 15:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

You must be kidding me, Primefac ! The article ITSELF is a LIST of SOURCES, for crying out loud ! Joe Gatt (talk) 20:03, 17 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Joe Gatt, technically speaking your article contains a list of wikilinks, which do not count as sources but as circular references. Primefac (talk) 20:13, 17 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Primefac, it is a list of first-hand sources, namely films and novels! On practically each listed source a wikilink exists, so I have included the wikilinks as well. But one can progress beyond the wikilinks and read or view the first-hand sources directly!Joe Gatt (talk) 20:46, 17 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Christopher Columbus in fiction, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Columbus, The Voyage and Isabella. 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.

Request for help

edit

Hi fellow Wikipedians. I am trying to develop the category History of fiction, by adding to this category articles that have relevant lists of works of fiction, arranged in chronological order. I am requesting help, not only in the identification of suitable articles, but also in modifying existing articles to fit into the said category, typically by re-sorting the available lists in chronological order, or else by replacing the existing list structure with a spreadsheet structure, via class="wikitable sortable". Thank you in advance. Joe Gatt (talk) 14:59, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

You may want to ask at WT:WikiProject Lists. In fact, some discussion about the purpose, intended scope and methods of your project would definitely be helpful. The "main article", List of chronologies of works of fiction, is not an article at all and has no encyclopedic content; it should be deleted. Huon (talk) 00:13, 23 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Libraries in fiction

edit
 

The article Libraries in fiction has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

May not fit Wikipedia's notability guidelines

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.
