  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Color (disambiguation), disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. * National varieties of English (see WP:ENGVAR) KylieTastic (talk) 18:58, 22 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
  2. Then click on "templates",
  3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details beside a magnifying glass followed by clicking said button,
  4. If the article is available in Pubmed Central, you have to add the pmc parameter manually -- click on "show additional fields" in the template and you will see the "pmc" field. Please add just the number and don't include "PMC".

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:15, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kurt Cobain, 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. DonIago (talk) 16:21, 8 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Sheffield Royal Infirmary

edit

Hi - Please can you familiarise yourself with our policies. You have now added three times that the senior staff included a matron. While most hospitals have a matron for you to make a statement that it had one without a reliable source is original research or synthesis (see WP:OR and WP:SYNTH). More importantly please read WP:3RR as you have made the same edit three times now. Dormskirk (talk) 22:43, 3 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

I have now found a source confirming that it had a matron at that time and have added it for you. Dormskirk (talk) 22:56, 3 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi - I already did add the source, that I found; inputted before the words 'and a Matron', the same source you say you found and re-added ~ https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/12733920-3c2d-4e5c-acaa-59d09b22c599 - Perhaps it was accidentally deleted while you were editing -

  • Please could you remember to let contributors complete their work first, rather than trying to edit writing at the same time as they are; it can cause unnecessary confusion and re-editing. Genuine corrections are valuable, but it's equally helpful to allow space for other contributions, and you may even find that the finished article doesn't need any correction.

Talk page guidelines

edit

Hi - Please read Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines: Never edit or move someone's comment to change its meaning, even on your own talk page. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 18:18, 14 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi - Please think about whether your actions are of genuine help to Wikipedia or, skewed by overriding need to control and a belief that you alone have knowledge, they could inadvertently result in the opposite.
Never attempt to edit other people's work while they are still writing it. Never remove a link from an article, message the writer to rebuke them for not including a link, then claim to have fixed 'their' error by reinstating the very same link which they had sourced and originally included, and which you had removed. Never be afraid to admit when you have made a mistake. Never be dishonest or patronising.
- 100yrs we'll all be dust; only our truth and Soul will be of any use to us.

These are the diffs of your edits at 19.26: [1], at 19.54 [2] and at 21.34 [3]. In each case the words "and a Matron" were not referenced. I would be happy to apologise if I made a mistake, and I often do, but the article history suggests I did not. By the way you need to read WP:NPA. Accusing me of "control freakery and arrogance" and describing me as "dishonest" are both personal attacks. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 20:05, 14 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Feet/metres

edit

Any reason for changing all the measurements at Mill Hill (Derbyshire) from metres/kilometres to feet/miles (and removing the convert templates)? See MOS:UNIT. Dave.Dunford (talk) 11:05, 13 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
There's both of the measurements; metric and imperial? - Not sure about a template; there was a measurement missing from the summary, installing that [so there were both] might've altered it?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sally Phillips, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zapped. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Plot length

edit

Hi, I'm @Spectrallights. I am leaving this message because I edited your additions to the plot of the film Wish You Were Here. Per MOS:FILMPLOT, plot summaries for films should be between 400 and 700 words. The plot you constructed totaled to 1,348 words, well over the recommended length. Many of the details were scene-by-scene breakdowns which are not necessary in plot summaries, which typically only summarize the main events. There were also issues with paragraph length. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Spectrallights (talk) 20:37, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Kurt Cobain, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. The correct form is "gay", not "Gay". If you don't believe me, see Gay. DonIago (talk) 01:47, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Non-minor edits

edit

  Hi Lux-Spiritus! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Risedemise (talk) 23:02, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
