December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Peter St. Albans has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. -- IRP ☎ 02:01, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Mary Hyde

I have nominated Mary Hyde, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mary Hyde. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Ironholds (talk) 08:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

May I suggest you contribute to the AfD on this matter? All the copyediting in the world will not help if your article is deleted. Ironholds (talk) 11:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Mary Ann Black. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Chrisch^Talk 09:57, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Improving the article

Can you rewrite the opening paragraph to a couple of sentences that explains why she's notable? I can't figure out what she sued for? You have way to much information, and I'd be glad to help rewrite it, but I can't figure out what she's notable for, ie, what she sued for! --KP Botany (talk) 01:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Please preview

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to James O. Curtis (shipbuilder), it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. -- Brianhe (talk) 19:35, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

A tasty chocolate chip cookie for you for all that work on the Clipper ships template!

Your edits to Maud de Lacy, Countess of Lincoln

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Maud de Lacy, Countess of Lincoln a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Clitheroe Castle

Hi, I just noticed that some of the material from these changes to the above article is copyrighted. Specifically the sentence "The castle, formerly a possession of the de Lacy family of Pontefract, passed to the House of Lancaster in 1311, and thence to the Crown in 1399." came directly from this website. Wikipedia can't accept copyrighted material, and you can't copy and paste like that. Nev1 (talk) 18:43, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Peter Hibbs

Hi, thanks for your contributions to the draft article on Peter Hibbs. There is enough there now to warrant an article, so I have transferred it to Peter Hibbs. You can make further edits there. Thanks again and best wishes, WWGB (talk) 04:02, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kate DeAraugo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victoria (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
