Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Mary Queen of Scots, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 13:23, 20 July 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. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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.

Sidney Czira

Hi. Thank you for moving Sydney Criza to Sidney Czira (John Brennan). I was completely unaware of the article because of the misspelling, and assumed she didn't have one. I have taken the liberty of moving it to Sidney Czira, because brackets are only intended to be used for disambiguation. But I have created John Brennan (writer) as a redirect, and added her to the John Brennan disambiguation page. Regards, Scolaire (talk) 16:09, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

To clarify, John Brennan (writer) is not a separate article. Clicking on it or entering it into the search box will take you to the Sidney Czira article. She was widely known as "John Brennan", but by no means always. Entering "Sidney Gifford" in Google Books will show how frequently "Sidney Gifford" and "Sidney Czira" appears. Her memoirs were titled "The Years Flew By: The Recollections of Madame Sydney Czira". Scolaire (talk) 16:06, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Using the article talk page

To open a discussion on the article talk page, go to Proclamation of the Irish Republic and click the "Talk" tab on the top left. Alternatively, go directly to Talk:Proclamation of the Irish Republic by typing that in the Search box. On the talk page, click "New section", which is in the row of tabs to the right of the "Article" and "Talk" tabs, beside "Read" and "Edit". Then enter a heading into the "Subject/headline" box at the top, e.g. you can type "Text of the Proclamation". Then state your case. There is no "political" agenda there. If you make a case it will be listened to. Scolaire (talk) 15:57, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Pageturners, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to William Henry Gregory has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:56, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Use caution before checking "Minor edit" box - Dec. 2016

Adding links & editing full paragraphs to an article, as you did at Mathew Brady, is not considered a minor edit.

Many of your other recent "minor" edits (such as @ Ballybough) fall into this same category.

For clarification, please review the brief paragraph at WP:MINOR "When not to mark".

Hello Pageturners, In the Summary Execution section, I think you added the sentence (10 May 2016), "His brother Robert Macgregor Bowen Colthurst had been killed at Ypres in March 1915..." Other contributors' additions now present problems with the tense and sense of the sentence in its current location. The nub of the problem is that John Bowen Colthurst was only on the Western Front from 14 August-19 September 1914. Colthurst's superiors noted his 'eccentricity' in September 1914 but it had been noted previously. If I remember rightly, Colthurst had cited the death of his brother, Robert, as a partial justification to Lt Morgan for the executions he had just carried out at Portobello.

Hope this is helpful and thanks for your work on this section.CanK9 (talk) 04:25, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi CanK9 - I don't understand quite how John Bowen-Colthurst's dates of service in France are to do with his brother's death. As far as I've heard, JBC, always dangerously eccentric, became quite unhinged after his brother's death. He surely didn't have to be serving with his brother for this to be so? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. - Pagegurners
