Template:Vienne communes edit

Hi, I like the work you have done on this template. I have a tool just about ready that will generate all French department commune templates, and I'll incorporate your design into mine. Cheers, Kiwipete (talk) 03:13, 25 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Canton names edit

Hi there, again. I have recently reverted a couple of changes you made to Cantons of the Vienne department and Arrondissement of Châtellerault. My rationale is that proper foreign names should be left as they are unless there is a commonly accepted English equivalent, e.g. the commune with the French name Dunkerque redirects to the common English name Dunkirk. I'm happy to hear from you if there are alternative reasons for doing this kind of translation. Cheers, Kiwipete (talk) 02:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm not invested in it, do what you will. --Formerly the IP-Address 24.22.227.53 (talk) 02:30, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

thanks for the assistance edit

Thanks for the help changing {{FootnotesSmall}} to {{reflist}}.--Rockfang (talk) 23:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your replacement of this template with {{reflist}} is not correct in many instances. If you do further replacements, if {{FootnotesSmall}} was used in a way that left the references at 100%, it should be replaced with <references/>. Gimmetrow 11:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

May 2008 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to List of Star Wars creatures has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

Edits to Redirects edit

I've read this (Wikipedia:Redirect#Do not .22fix.22 links to redirects that are not broken now, and agree with some of the reasoning, so don't bother telling me about my recent redirect edits. I know, and will only do it again in special circumstances. --Formerly the IP-Address 24.22.227.53 (talk) 00:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: User:24.22.227.53 edit

Restored. It will probably stay undeleted until (if ever) there is another CSD U2 cleanout. Or, if you want it deleted sooner, just let me know. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:30, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

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.
