Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Teletext, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Subtitle (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Re: Sundarbans South Wildlife Sanctuary wikipedia article

edit

If you feel that they need to be merged, by all means go ahead. I had plans to expand the three small articles but have never got around to the task. My only request would be redirect the smaller articles, and not delete them. That would keep it easier to recreate when enough material to expand them is gathered. Also, the structure of mother article for Sunderbans is not too comfortable yet. See how you can accommodate the smaller articles. Another area concern is the existence of 4 different protected reserves in the Sunderbans - 1 in India and 3 in Bangladesh. While the Indian reserve has a large enough article (repeating much of the mother article), the Bangladeshi articles are pretty underdeveloped. I think all 4 articles need non-preferential treatment. While the size of the article is a development issue, the existence of the articles are more of a structural issue. My experience tells me that existence of an individual article prompts more article development than anything else. Aditya(talkcontribs) 06:34, 9 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Club Quarter(s)

edit

Looking at Club Quarters, I agree it does need a substantial rewrite. When writing this article, I was a fairly new editor and never had the time to go back to edit this appropriately. While I don't think the article deserves to be deleted, as it is a business along the lines of Marriott Hotels & Resorts, and it does need some substantial work. Thank you for being kind enough to bring it to my attention, but I currently have little time to give this article the attention it deserves. --Hourick (talk) 14:46, 9 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wikifiation drive for April.

edit

Greetings, Travers! As I was tallying the counts of the participants in the recent wikification drive, I noticed that you've listed yourself on the leaderboard as having wikified 11 articles; congratulations! However, it seems you did not log them under your own header on this page. The drive is closed now, but I wouldn't want you not to get the award your efforts would earn if registered in the drive, so I hope you can add in your section soon. Cheers! :) So a print encyclopedia, a strawberry shortcake, and a sycamore walk into a bar - wait, have you heard this one? (talk) 07:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
