Moving / copying pages

Hello, I see that you recently created Red Devil (interurban - I presume you left of the bracket by mistake. You then created Red Devil (interurban). For future reference, you can move pages that have an incorrect title, by clicking on the "move" button at the top, next to "history". This then means that the old page "redirects" to the new one. This avoids having multiple copies of the same article. Regards,--BelovedFreak 23:10, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from High-speed rail. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 10:02, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

June 2011

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Bullet (interurban). Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. — Ignore the vandalism bit from me. Tim PF (talk) 21:01, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tornado climatology, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Spring and Front (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

July 2013

Hello, I'm Technopat. Your recent edit appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Technopat (talk) 08:23, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your note. Your edits at [1] introduce original research not supported by any of the existing references. I checked a further three reliable sources on internet and not a single one of them support your version. If you can provide such a source, I suggest you add it to the existing version - without deleting the existing information - with an explanation to the effect that "although some sources quote it as a Thursday". Regards, --Technopat (talk) 22:35, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your note. As I mentioned above, if you can provide a reliable and verifiable source for each of the details you wish to add, fine. However, for example, brandhistoriska.org makes no mention of the days of the week involved, only to July 19, 1759.

It’s unlikely that we will find a “definitive” source of Swedenberg’s “vision”, as they all seem to copy and/or embellish from the same unclear source. If they happen to coincide, it’s probably because the writer has read the same book as another colleague, but even then they differ to some extent. One that I checked the other day even stated that Gothenburg is 50 miles from Stockholm…

For Kant's version (which I think we should mention in the article as such, becuase I'd imagine that all the other sources use it), based on hearsay, albeit from what we can take to be a trusted friend: Saturday, 19th July 1759, 4pm. (White, William (1998) Life of Emanuel Swedenborg: Together with a Brief Synopsis of His Writings, Both Philosophical and Theological, pp. 136-137. Kessinger Publishing).

Wikipedia is not interested in the “Truth”, but in presenting information "based on reliable, published sources" and what we have to do is make “sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered”, presenting it in such a way as to show readers that there are differing versions (each of which must be duly referenced). Regards, --Technopat (talk) 11:47, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I fully agree with your statement “If Bergquist is right, Swedenborg could have got information about the fire without any "paranormal" abilities.” Kant was not a direct witness to the vision and wrote of the anecdote some years later. Both the time lapsed and the number of people relating the story would necessarily affect the accuracy, as indeed might any detail lost in translation and any carelessness/lack of attention to detail by any one of the people involved.

It had occurred to me that part of the apparent confusion could be due to the differences between the Gregorian calendar and Julian calendars, but I hadn’t bothered to check it out. However, as you point out, given that July 19 is a Thursday, then July 29 is a Sunday.

Thanks for pointing out that bit about the Scandinavian mile. I hadn’t noticed the similarity, but that pretty much explains that particular discrepancy. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 09:17, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Road Netweok Paradox

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Road Netweok Paradox. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Road Network Paradox. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Road Network Paradox – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Cahk (talk) 09:04, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
