Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Programmer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Code monkey (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.

Number style

I reverted your changes to Sturmey-Archer. If you read WP:MOSNUM you will see that units of measure should always be separated by a non-breaking space  . Any questions just ask. --Biker Biker (talk) 06:39, 24 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation pages

edit

Hello, CasualVisitor

I saw your edit in PCI disambiguation page and I am afraid I find it not compliant with our Disambiguation Manual of Style. You see, there are strict rules as to what must be included in disambiguation pages. Partial title matches, closely related articles and sub articles are not allowed. Each line must have no more than one link and auxiliary linking is also not allowed.

I am afraid I had to revert your edit. Please consider studying the manual of style before making other changes in disambiguation pages.

Best regards,

Hello, CasualVisitor
We do not like disruptive editing, policy violation and edit warring here. When someone contests your edit with a revert, consider dispute resolution instead of edit warring.

Hi.
It is okay to make mistakes and newcomers do make mistakes; and learn from it. But the sheer volume of mistakes that you have made surprises me. First, that page is not a list article at all. It is a disambiguation page. The guideline that concerns your edit and you should have read is WP:PTM. Anything else that you have studied was a mistake.
Best regards,
