Thank you

Hi White Arabian Filly, thank you for your welcome. You have some cool interests. I am familiar with southern appalachian agriculture (especially in southwestern VA) and am interested in the region's frontier history. I don't know if you saw my original page on John Gordon, Captain of the Spies, but it was heavily edited by someone else. I understand that for the sake of space it needs to be kept to the point, but I didn't quite understand the stylistic edits, i.e., my writing style exchanged for the editor's. In paper, essays, and books, stylistic edits are looked down upon. Is this normal? Thanks again. :) Max Woolley (talk) 04:08, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

On Wikipedia everything has to be written in neutral language and in sort of a scholarly manner. I guess the other edior didn't think you had it mastered yet, but don't worry. It doesn't take long to familiarize yourself with it and you can read some of the articles on the Wikipedia:Good articles list to see examples of the best work. And basically, if you write it on Wikipedia, somebody else can edit it. ☺ White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 16:32, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Great, thank you, one more question. As a registered user, I can create articles and not have to submit them first as drafts right? (keeping in mind, of course, that I should make my own drafts of the article first and not publish something with poor quality) Thanks Max Woolley (talk) 02:48, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes, that's entirely right. You can create them in userspace with the title "User:Max Woolley/Article title here" and work on them until they're in good condition, then move them to article space whenever they're ready. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 22:26, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Alright, thank you again! One last question. I've just moved another piece into the article space, but nobody has reviewed it yet, and it won't come up when googled --unlike my first article which was reviewed almost immediately and now comes up on google. Is there something I have to do to make sure the page is reviewed, and that it can be found on a search engine? (I had to change my name, by the way) Thanks, Trinitarian Creek (talk) 01:02, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

I don't think there's anything you can do to get it reviewed faster. It used to be that anybody who had had an account for more than a week could "patrol" new articles, but now it's a specific right granted only to people who care, and it can be a month before one gets reviewed. I don't think getting reviewed has anything to do with a page showing up in Google though. It normally takes anywhere from a couple of hours to a day for a new article to show up, and that seems to be entirely up to Google's software.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Grace Episcopal Church (Madison, New Jersey), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Divine Office and Episcopal Church. 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 2017

Hello, I'm Pjposullivan. I noticed that you made a change to an article, St Cuthbert's Church, Durham, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please read WP:NPOV.

October 2017

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Zion Episcopal Church (Talbotton, Georgia). I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Ok, thanks for the tip. I'll browse these pages. Thanks, -Trinitarian Creek
