Hicks edits

Please read and participate in the discussion at Talk:Henry Hicks (geologist)#with regard to my reversion. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 16:54, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

@Micktherocktapper: please address the concerns raised by @Fourthords: on Henry Hicks (geologist), as you are continuing with the same editing habits that were raised as problematic nearly 3 month ago.--Kevmin § 17:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Micktherocktapper! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Henry Hicks (geologist) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. This is in addition to continuing the practices listed above. . — Fourthords | =Λ= | 17:29, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

You are an expert on everything, and just an officious and disruptive person who just wants to be like the Russian President? ... I am sure that YOU and others will know exactly what I mean? Go and complain against me and then show me something useful and informative that you have actually written yourself on Wikipedia ??? If you took your trousers down we would actually all hear you far better!!! XXX Micktherocktapper (talk) 13:51, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

One last try. According to this guideline, "[t]he purpose of an article's talk page (accessible via the talk or discussion tab) is to provide space for editors to discuss changes to its associated article". Please feel free to discuss the Henry Hicks article on its talk page; that is preferable to the sorts of edits described above. Thanks, — Fourthords | =Λ= | 19:06, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Angelina (trilobite), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tremadoc. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:13, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 10

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:53, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 4

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited John William Salter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Malvern.

Disambiguation link notification for April 27

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sir Philip Grey Egerton, 10th Baronet, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FRS.

Hey

Do you realize that you've been uploading all sorts of images to Commons with bad license data?

You're labeling all sorts of things as "own work", even when they're, for instance, paintings by people who've been dead for over a century, or the signatures of other people who've been (again) dead for over a century.

This could technically be considered a "lie". Please don't do that; it makes more work for other people to correct.

Most of these images are eligible to be on Commons, but the licensing information has to be properly provided. If you don't know how to do it properly, just ask. DS (talk) 22:46, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Warren Williams (Artist) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Warren Williams (Artist), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. noq (talk) 12:03, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Image of John William Salter

Hi!

I'm researching Salter and am intrigued about the source of the image you uploaded for his page. Where did you find it? Information on him is scarce and I haven't seen this photo anywhere else!

Thanks, Kit. 185.85.185.111 (talk) 04:01, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
