Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Talk:Rachel Gordon, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you.  ʄlame  04:33, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

(My apologies for not seeing this sooner.)

I would like to know how my edit appeared not to be constructive, as it asked whether Rachel Gordon, the subject of the article, was also the Rachel Gordon credited with a different project. This seems of possible relevance to this Rachel Gordon article. Since I did not even make an edit to the article itself, but I merely posted the question on Rachel Gordon's talk page -- in the background -- I don't see why my simply raising the question should have been deleted. I would have found appropriate a reply like "this is a different Rachel Gordon, and there is no need to call attention to the work of this other person by the same name, as it is non-notable"; or, perhaps, "Yes, this is something that this Rachel Gordon did, but it is not worth mentioning in the main article."

I'm considering putting the question back onto the Discussion page. I welcome discussion about my doing so from the editor who deleted my post, or any one else, please.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Panjandrum. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Disambiguating to dictionary terms with other meanings isn't done on Wikipedia, because it'd give a huge number of articles a "but this could also mean" line at the top. WP:DISAMBIG is only concerned with "existing articles". McGeddon (talk) 08:32, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

We don't necessarily need a full article - we can also link to an article which includes that topic, which panjandrum is actually already doing by linking to Samuel Foote. I've added some thoughts at Talk:Panjandrum. --McGeddon (talk) 16:05, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Stub tags

Please take care not to add {{stub}} to an article like Katie Dippold which already has a specific stub tag. Please also note that all stub tags go at the end of the article, not the top - see WP:ORDER. Thanks. PamD 16:27, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
