Quick note edit

Currently the edits you are making via the visual editor are being marked as 'minor'. Edits should only be marked minor if they are minor corrections (spelling, punctuation etc) the reason for this is that quite a lot of editors have their watchlists set to ignore minor edits, so when significant content is added under a 'minor' tag, it gets missed. There should be a tickbox in the visual editor to turn it off. Regards, Only in death does duty end (talk) 15:02, 4 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for March 10 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mary Gillham, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mutton bird. 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.

  • You can probably ignore this. Normally we do not link to disambiguation pages (for the reason above - they exist to point to other articles) however in this case as there are a variety of Shearwaters that can be called 'Muttonbirds' there isnt a specific article to point to.

Actually scratch that, it can probably be piped to Short-tailed shearwater from context - its also the only shearwater I can see that explicitly mentions muttonbird and commercial harvesting. Only in death does duty end (talk) 11:06, 10 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Okay I have put it to short-tailed for the moment. That will stop the disambiguation BOT picking it up. Only in death does duty end (talk) 11:10, 10 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
