Band of Brothers edit-warring

You might want to follow the excellent advice you have been provided and utilize the article discussion page. I've thoughtfully initiated a section on the part you are edit-warring about, and my post offers insights into why you probably shouldn't be doing that. Not to sound rude, but if you revert again, i'm going to have to file a complaint with the relevant noticeboard. I will hopefully see you at the discussion page shortly. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 05:04, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

You might want to ease up on the condescending tone and snarky attitude and reply to my comment on the article discussion page then. Morhange (talk) 03:57, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, what in my above comment seemed snarky to you? Not that I didn't have cause to bring it - you did start edit-warring instead of talking about it, but I am curious what you found "condescending" and "snarky". - Jack Sebastian (talk) 14:28, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Sidney Leslie Goodwin

I left the following message on an IP talk page earlier today. That person made the same change: "It seems to me that you need to cite the more specific web page of http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-victim/sidney-leslie-goodwin.html. The general page that you referred to does not appear to contain enough information to support the change. Assuming you agree, please make the change (but not in all capital letters) and add this more specific citation. If you do not agree, let me know so we can consider it further." I ask that you make the same change to better support the edit or let me know if you do not agree that it should be made for more accuracy. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 02:05, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

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.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Nacho (footballer, born 1990)

Hello there, from Portugal,

i fail to see your reason for reverting me, and your edit summary was quite misleading with all due respect. I removed the 2011/12 LA LIGA honour because, if you check all available sources, he played ZERO games that season. The 100th official appearance he made for Real Madrid refers to the 2016/17 season (this one), not 2011/12 which was what i removed.

Discussion at Talk:Passengers of the RMS Titanic

I'd like to invite editors who participated in the deletion discussion to give their input at article talk. There was considerable interest in cleaning up this article in one way or another, but there have been few responses to my proposal to trim the passenger lists. Alternative proposals are certainly welcome as well; I'm hoping that we can build some sort of consensus for the scope and direction of the article moving forward. Thanks –dlthewave ☎ 21:55, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Irina Yusupova, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dagmar of Denmark (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:30, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Not notable, monarchy in Portugal abolished before WWI

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.
