Edit summaries
Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary.  Grey Maiden   talk  05:57, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Power Rangers R.P.M.
Thank you for your contribution to Power Rangers: RPM! Unfortunately, it's not something we can include just yet. As PR fans, we know darn well that, generally, all Ranger colors will be brought to the US without fail (at most, extra Rangers might be added, but none will ever be unused unless they're Sentai movie-only). But WP:V doesn't allow information like that to be added to an article until it can be completely proved we're getting those colors here and that Disney won't change anything... which means waiting until the Jetix website goes up (probably around Nov/Dec sometime) or promos start airing (same). All we could list right now is the fact that a Red Ranger is confirmed, since an image of him was at the Toy Fair during summer. Arrowned (talk) 05:50, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, color correlations are not sourceable information, and should be thrown out as useless bits of trivia.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 06:30, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

When you find vandalism
When you find vandalism, go to the page history of the vandalised article and revert it to an earlier version, rather than just removing the text as you did at Elijah Wood. The anonymous editor who vandalised the article also removed legitimate text while adding the vandalism, which you didn't put back. I've cleaned it all up, but remember to revert vandalism in the future rather than just removing it. Graham 87 07:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Jedi Striker! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Lestat (musical), please cite a reliable source for your addition.

Biographies of living people
Please do not add content which gives undue weight to some statement about a living person, as you did at Anna Jay. On Wikipedia we take particular care over articles about living people.

New information, even if referenced, should be added only if noteworthy, relevant and documented in multiple reliable third-party sources. Wikipedia is not a newspaper and material should not be added if it is only gossip or has little longer-term importance, or if the only sourcing is tabloid journalism.

If challenged, the onus is on the editor who adds the content to justify its retention. Thank you. KyleJoan talk 04:07, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

This same info and reference was on Jungle Boy’s article, so I did not see any reason not to add it to Anna Jay’s. All wrestling couples have each other’s significant other’s listed on their articles. Jedi Striker (talk) 04:10, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi. I saw you added the summary for Jon Moxley vs. Bryan Danielson, and each sentence, you would say "[date] episode of Dynamite". You only need to add Dynamite on the first mention. Those others, it's understood that it's talking about the same show. The only time you would need to mention Dynamite again is if Rampage or a PPV was mentioned and we need to differentiate the shows. JDC808  ♫  05:21, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Lead
It seems there may be a misunderstanding of what a lead is. I've seen you do this on event articles as well, but you remove information from the lead because its "repeating" information that's already in the article. The lead is a summary of the article. Your argument that it's repeating information would mean we should have no lead at all because that's what the lead does: it summarizes (i.e., repeats) information from the article.

Statistically, most readers do not make it past the lead. Telling a reader who the current champion is but not telling them when and from whom they won the title (which would tell them how long they've been champion) makes no sense. Also, just because some articles do something one way does not mean every article has to (although I would counter that the articles you're referring to need updated).

Image Tagging for Image:Corposcindosis_thermal_small.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Corposcindosis_thermal_small.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as db-unksource.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Styles
Hi Michael, welcome to the wiki. I notice that you have added some prenomial styles to a few articles. Just so you are aware, this is a touchy subject around here, with many people outright opposed to their inclusion in the first line of the article, rather than mentioned later on. In anycase, the prenomial stylists seem to have prevailed for the moment, but there are still a few guidlines. First, the bolded part of the title should really only be the article title, or something that might reasonably be a redirect — so don't bold Honorable, or the postnomial initials, etc. Also, simple courtesy titles like professor, or Mr. are generally not included. Also, don't put wiki links within parts of the title that are bolded. So Sir Wombat Twitworth, not Sir Wombat Twitworth. Note that Sir is a bit of a special case, as it formally becomes part of the persons name, and so does tend to be bolded but not linked. Again, welcome! Fawcett5 16:46, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Titles
I've noticed you added the title 'Sir' to the 1st Duke of Wellington's article, which was reverted by the admin Proteus. Please note that a 'Duke' is higher in rank than a 'Knight' therefore the 'Sir' is no longer used in his title. 62.252.96.16 00:50, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Please also note that "Sir" does not always signify a knighthood--Pakington was a baronet, not a knight. Mackensen (talk) 20:59, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia style
I see that you have been modifying a number of articles to add prenomials and postnomials. You should probably check out the Manual of Style, which says:

 * If possible, make the title the subject of the first sentence of the article (as opposed to putting it in the predicate). In any case, the title should appear as early as possible in the article — preferably in the first sentence.
 * The first time the title is mentioned in the article, put it in bold using three apostrophes. Here's an example: article title produces article title. You should not put links in the title.

Since "The Honourable", "PC", "MP", "BA", "CC", LLB" and so on, are not part of the article title, they should not be in bold. This is not my preference: this is part of the Wikipedia Manual of Style.

This is why so many of your previous edits have been modified. I hope that you will adhere more closely to the prefered guidelines in the future, now that you know. I hope this helps. Thanks, Ground Zero | t 21:32, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Also, according to Wikipedia style, words in sub-headings, other than the first word, are not capitalized unless they would be capitalized in an ordinary sentence, so: "External links", not "External Links". Following Wikipedia style helps maintain a visually consistent encyclopedia, and reduces the workload for other editors. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 21:45, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Order of Merit
No one is a "recipient" of the Order of Merit because it is an Order (rather self-evidently), not an award. You'd know this if you'd actually read about it. Your category is fundamentally wrong. Proteus (Talk) 17:50, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi. I'm responding to your request at third opinion.  Just as a guess, the Category renaming seems to have been handled improperly.  However, there doesn't seem to be any obvious place to go for help with the problem.  "Third opinion" doesn't get a lot of attention.  You might want to try the admin noticeboard, but I am neither an admin nor have a perfect understanding of procedure, so that may not be appropriate.  I'm leaving the Third Opinion request up.  Hope this gets sorted out.  Jkelly 04:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Parliament Biographies
Hi Micael,

Just a quick heads up that instead of adding the Political Biographies with:

 * Political Biography from the Library of Parliament

You can do it instead with the following convenient template:

Notice that the language inserted is now a little bit different, but there were some complaints about the fact that the information there is not really a biography, and it included only the persons federal political experience and not any colonial, provincial, or municipal experience. Please feel free to substitute the new template for the old language whereever you see it, just keep the ID numbers the same... Cheers, Fawcett5 17:35, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

categories and their sub-cats
Hello. just wanted to point out that the convention on wiki is to not include an article in a category where it is also in that category's sub-category. (for instance where Christopher Plummer is already catted under Category:Torontonians he need not and conventionally is not be catted under Category:People from Ontario). the idea is to keep both the length of individual cats from becoming too long and to keep the number of cats per article at a reasonable length. (my little wiki hobby is catting pages better, by the way). regards, -Mayumashu 04:05, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Allen Bristol Aylesworth
The category Category:Historical Members of the Canadian House of Commons is in the process of being replaced by smaller and more manageable subcategories. Could you please not readd it to the articles that I'm removing it from? Thanks. Bearcat 21:25, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Pembroke College, Oxford
As the College isn't one of its own former members, why have you added it to the former members Category? The Category page already has a link to the College's article. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 15:46, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You keep re-adding this, without bothering to respond to my question, and without even giving edit summaries. Given that it's incorrect, I can only keep removing it. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 08:49, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

 * You're quite right, they're wrong too. I've changed all of them; if you come across any others, please let me know. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 09:54, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

But there is a link on the page (though for some reason it was in slightly the wrong place; I've moved it), just as there is on most articles about Oxford Colleges. That's precisely what I was arguing — a link on the page rather than an incorrect category. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 09:39, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Senators
Michael, "Senator" is a job title. I do not believe that ex-Senators continue to use the title. In any event, Manual of Style (biographies) does not indicate that this sort of title should be in opening of the article. The US presidential articles, e.g., Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, do not have "President" before the names even though former presidents continue to use the title. Even George W. Bush does not have "president" even though he is still president. Regards, Ground Zero | t 17:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn
I notice that you added in the style The Most Noble to Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. Please do not add in styles. WP policy as and from August this year is that styles should never be used in articles. Instead a style box is used to define royal styles in the text. FearÉIREANN 01:21, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Sure Michael. Its in WP:MOSBIO. Right now it only applies to royalty. Previously a bitter edit war had erupted over whether to use styles in royal articles. (It was one of the worst edit wars in WP history and spread over large numbers of articles.) I proposed a compromise which to my amazement won 95% agreement from all sides. Basically how it works is that styles feature in articles (keeping the styles side happy) but not at the top (keeping the anti-styles people happy). Instead a styles template is added into each article listing the diplomatic style, alternative style and spoken style used. As a result styles have been deleted by all sides from all articles on royalty and the template installed. It is now an automatic formula that is used. Where styles appear in articles they are instantly deleted by whomever finds them, and replaced by the template (an infobox). You'll see the format in the above page, the Manual of Style (biographies). I hope that clarifies matters. FearÉIREANN 15:32, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Academic post-nominals
It's not Wikipedia practice. Go and look at a few articles and you'd see that quite clearly. And I don't really care what you think is advisable, it's not your own personal article. Proteus (Talk) 21:51, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Michael, it was me that removed the MP categories, sorry about that, I see they are for past and present members. Thanks for putting them back. Doesn't a person lose the title 'Honourable' however once they leave parliament? I'm pretty sure they do but can't find anything specifically stating the situation. -- Blorg 09:26, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Did some more research, I see she keeps it as a member of the Privy Council. I've included that info in the article. -- Blorg 09:57, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

academic degrees
I don't think it is usual to include academic degrees (e.g. Ph.D.) in the first line of a biographical article. I don't know what the policy is for honorary degrees, but it is certainly not conventional for academic degrees (see, e.g., Bill Frist, Rush D. Holt, Jr., Rashid Sunyaev, Linus Pauling...) I have removed your addition to the John Kenneth Galbraith article. –Joke 17:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Category:Stanley Cup Champions
Hello, I am wondering why you changed the category I created Category:Stanley Cup champions to Category:Stanley Cup Champions. I worked rather hard for a long to to add names to that category, and now I am not even credited in the history of the page. Please respond on my talk page. thanks. Michael Drew 01:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * This category was Category:Stanley Cup Champions, I renamed it to Category:Stanley Cup champions after processing a Speedy Category Rename Request. As there were several edits to the original category, I listed attributions for the original category, including yourself, on the new talk page.  All links to the category have been updated, so the work you did in categorizing the articles still exists.  As category pages can not be moved like other pages, it is not possible to merge the edit histories on them, this the reason I posted the attributions on the talk page.  In doing so I believe I've fufiled the GFDL attribution requirements.  If you think this is a licensing violation, please let me know ASAP.

Capital letters
Hey Michael, I have been noticing alot of new hockey player pages you have been creating and that is great! However, many of your articles are using captial letters incorrectly. "He" and "His" don't need a captial "H" in the middle of a sentence. You've done this on Gerry Ehman, Bill Dineen (ice hockey), and Larry Hillman among others. Also, you have failed to use commas where needed. You can see some of the corrections I've made on Steve Black. I'm just trying to make Wikipedia a better place for everyone with articles that are clearly defined and readable. Please check punctuation and spelling before submitting the final page and feel free to check out the Manual of Style. But good work and good research on the articles you've written! Thanks! --Schmackity 15:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I like ice hockey but note  Category:Swedish ice hockey players  NOT People from Sweden Wiipedia is far more developed than this! and {sweden-bio-stub}Ernst Stavro Blofeld 21:42, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi yes I noticed this I knew wxactly what your message would say before I read it!!! I strongly suggest then to set up a category Swedish ice hockey managers then or something. Managers can cover people who run the teams and who manage talent spotting. I'll set it. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 21:54, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Walter "Gunzo" Humeniuk
Hey Michael Drew, found this info on Walter (sometimes Wally) and thought you could use it. Not sure why he was called "Gunzo". The first link is here with info in the about section. Also found this .pdf that has info and a award that is given out as the "Gunzo" award. It also says the "late" Walter Humeniuk, but I couldn't find a date for when he passed away. That .pdf is here, an the article is about three pages down. Also found out he was inducted into the Illinois Hockey Hall of Fame in a (long-loading) .pdf here Hope this helps! --Schmackity 14:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Butch Keeling
Hi, can you please change the name of the Keeling article back to Melville "Butch" Keeling? I am well aware that Melville was his real name but he was well known by the nickname Butch. I have spoken about him with his sister (who is still alive) and she confirms that. Also, if you look at his gravestone (a picture of it is accessible through the sixth reference link on the Keeling page) you will see that even there he is listed as Melville "Butch" Keeling. Thank you in advance for taking care of this.JonJax 21:42, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, I think it would be an adequate move. With Melville Keeling and Butch Keeling as redirects, have the article as Melville "Butch" Keeling.  DMighton 08:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Charles Sylvestre?
Hello Michael Drew. I am wondering why Father Charles Sylvestre would be listed with the article on Deaths in 2007. What is the criteria for adding people like him, i.e., people who did very bad things and went to jail (in this case sentenced to serve three years). I don't disagree with adding him to the Deaths article, but I just wonder why he qualifies. Perhaps in this case, you listed him with the Deaths just because of his notoriety. Here's part of my confusion: recently, a Death listing for Jennifer Strange, the lady who died last week of water poisoning as a result of a radio contest, was deleted and then re-added from the Deaths article; there was confusion whether she was considered a worthy listing. How do we know whether someone should be listed or not? Que-Can 17:59, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

2002 Stanley Cup Engravings
Hey Micheal Drew, first off I found info about Bill Tibbs from your last question. Here is his info on Hockey Database. Looks like he was a backup goalie to Sawchuck and maybe just called up for a game or two. Also found this: ''In the team-by-team sections, there is a one- or two-sentence explanation of every person whose name is on the Stanley Cup. The 2001-2002 Detroit Red Wings included Nancy Beard's name. She was a secretary in the team's offices.'' at the end of an article here about Nancy Beard.

As for your question about the engraving on the cup, I found this site with "Cup-winning rosters" but I think this might just be people on the ice when they won. I'm still looking for a picture of the 2001-02 Detroit Red Wings engraving on the cup as I'm sure there are more people than those listed on the site I gave you. Let me know if there are any other ways I can help! --Schmackity 15:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

HHOF members
Hey, thanks for your help and cleanup of my recent HHOF member articles. I just created an article for Al Leader and was a bit frustrated trying to find information about his birth city in Manitoba. There seem to be articles here for everything down to the "village" level in Manitoba, but I can't find anything on Barnsley, Manitoba. Know anything about it? --Mus Musculus 15:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, I will try to remember to add articles to the New Articles section. This is the first WikiProject I've contributed to that has that feature, so I'm still getting used to it.  If I have a specialty, it is probably the history of fighting and enforcers in hockey.  I have read a lot about the subject.  Other than that, I just look up information on whatever I need and I am good at finding citations.  Mus musculus is the scientific name for a house mouse - it was more or less a random anonymous name choice. --Mus Musculus 20:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Hello. I'm not the contributor who recognize the concerns here, but an administrator investigating its listing at the copyright problems board. You should have been but were not advised at the time it was tagged. My investigation seems to confirm these concerns, as internet archives verify that their publication long predates ours and text is taken verbatim from that source. This material will need to be revised or removed unless permission can be verified through one of the processes above. I will leave the matter another few days in case you would like to work on a revision in the temporary space provided. In the meantime, I will watchlist your talk page in case you would like to discuss the situation. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:43, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:10, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Looking through your contributions subsequent to the investigation above, I have discovered another 43 articles that include enough material from external sources to represent a serious copyright concern. Rather than last all of them here, I will simply point you to today's copyright problems listing, here. They begin with my relisting of the article mentioned above and continue through to David McNab. I have also identified several articles where infringement has already been cleaned by other contributors and located several that I felt I could clean on the spot. Given the magnitude of this matter, I am going to invite assistance in addressing these articles from the related Wikiproject and also at the Administrator's Noticeboard. When you were questioned here about your duplication of material, you claimed that you had believed the material in public domain. This does not explain why you continued duplicating text from that and other sites after the situation was pointed out to you; as a single example, you created this article, copying from that site, mere weeks after the above exchange. As the template above advises, Wikipedia cannot utilize copyright text from other sources. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:19, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Honorifics
Hi, per Honorifics please don't add honorifics to the beginning of an article. Thanks  Phoe  talk  14:39, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi again, please note that there are also other categories for privy counsellors. Category:Members of the Privy Council of Great Britain is used before 1801, Category:Members of the Privy Council of England and Category:Members of the Privy Council of Scotland before 1707. There is even Category:Members of the Privy Council of Ireland, which members by the way have the postnominal PC (Ire). The crucial factor for the classification is the year of his/her invention. Regards  Phoe  talk  10:04, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Originally a person's membership to a privy council was intended only for the reign of the sovereign, who had made the appointment, however by convention it was rather for the person's lifetime (a following sovereign was considered to have declared a reappointment) and the actually end of a membership came only by resignation, expulsion or of course death.
 * The Acts of Union 1707 united the Privy Councils of England and Scotland and consequently their former members sat together in the new formed Privy Council of Great Britain. While with the Act of Union 1801 all members of the latter privy council became automatically members of the succeeding Privy Council of the United Kingdom (it was rather a change of the name, then of the institution itself), the Privy Council of Ireland however ceased not to exist and is today still extant.
 * If your question aims whether a person, who sat first in the Privy Council of Great Britain and afterwards in that of the United Kingdom, should also be sorted in both categories, then I would say no. For a better overview in the categories and to ensure a consistency with the lists at Wikipedia, I think we should only take the date of his/her appointment into account.
 * I hope I have expressed me not too intricately and this could give you an answer.  Phoe  talk  13:31, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Glenys Kinnock
Hello

I'm not sure why you've added the letters 'PC' after the name of Glenys Kinnock. She is not, as far as I am aware, a member of the Privy Council, and nor do I see any reason why she ought to become one. According to the Full List of Cabinet Members she is not a member of the Cabinet and will not attend Cabinet meetings. Technically, as the wife of a Baron, she is The Rt Hon The Baroness Kinnock (although she does not use her title), and she will now be elevated to the peerage in her own right (and presumably will use her new title). However, her style of Rt Hon is derived from her being a peeress, not from being a Privy Counsellor. Do you know something that I don't?

Best wishes, --Oxonian2006 (talk) 23:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Digby Jones, Baron Jones of Birmingham
I am similarly confused about Digby Jones, Baron Jones of Birmingham. The webpage Her Majesty's Government says that Her Majesty had signified her intention of conferring a peerage on Digby Jones, but he does not appear in the list of those whom she approved to be sworn of the Privy Council. I do not believe that he attended Cabinet, so again I can't see why he would have become a Privy Counsellor. Of course, I appreciate that anybody can be appointed a Privy Counsellor, but it seems unlikely that the honour would have been conferred on Digby Jones.--Oxonian2006 (talk) 23:18, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

More "Privy Counsellors"
Are you sure that Mervyn Davies, Baron Davies of Abersoch is a Privy Counsellor?

How about Gareth Thomas? You have added the style The Rt Hon, proper to a Privy Counsellor, and placed him in the PC category, yet I don't think he is a PC. See HM Government, where he is called 'Mr Gareth Thomas MP', not 'The Rt Hon Gareth Thomas MP'. Finally, Gareth Thomas MP.

You deleted all my messages
Dear Michael Drew

I hope you don't consider it very rude of me, but I am reverting your deletion of all my messages that I posted here yesterday. I was drawing your attention to the fact that you appear to have introduced a number of rather important errors into several articles. You have not responded to my observations and you have not made any amendements to the articles in question. You cannot simply go around Wikipedia making what appear to be mistakes and then try to deny that somebody has brought the fact to your attention. I was wondering whether you might have been able to draw my attention to sources of which I was ignorant which might have demonstrated that you had in fact been right to make the changes that you made. If there are no such sources I should like to arrive at a consensus before reverting your edits. I also thought it wise to bring these apparent errors to your attention as you appear to have been under the misapprehension that all members of HM Government in the UK are automatically appointed Privy Counsellors. Your approach to criticism is not constructive.--Oxonian2006 (talk) 12:26, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

British Queens Counsel
I am not sure why you have added the above category to an article that alreay had the category "Queen's Counsel 1597-1800", which should be a subcategory of the other.

The people announced on the dissolution honours list are not yet privy counsellors.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

Ted Opitz
Please don't add unsourced bullet-lists of honours and awards to MPs' articles. Any award or honour he's received that's worth mentioning in our article at all will have a proper reliable source out there for it (i.e. not just his own website), and any such section should be written in complete sentences and paragraphs rather than as bullet points. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 20:25, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Again: what you want to add requires real prose (i.e. full sentences arranged in full paragraphs) and real reliable sources (i.e. not his own website). An unsourced or badly-sourced list arranged in bullet points is simply not acceptable — if it's worth mentioning at all, then it's worth doing it properly. And, in fact, not all of the awards in question are notable enough to even be worth mentioning in the first place. Bearcat (talk) 00:27, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * No, the party's website is not a valid reliable source in lieu of his own, as it's not a media outlet that's independent of him. And neither is an article on nowpublic.com, which is a crowdsourced "anybody can post absolutely anything they want" sort of news site that isn't subject to the kind of editorial oversight necessary for a source to be considered reliable for our purposes. (And furthermore, Opitz figures directly in almost every single story that the writer of your link has ever posted to nowpublic at all, so from our neutral point of view perspective here, I have to work under the assumption that he or she was a campaign volunteer.)
 * An article in The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star or the Toronto Sun, or on the CBC News website, would be a valid source; a source published by anybody who has a vested interest in the way Opitz is presented to the voting public, such as his own campaign office or the party, is not. And I should point out, as well, that the fact that you most likely copied and pasted the list of awards directly from the nowpublic.com article (it was worded identically, right down to the inclusion of unnecessarily redundant verbs) means that you also need to familiarize yourself with our copyright policy; you can't copy and paste any text into Wikipedia directly from another site unless we have express written permission to use it.
 * And finally, some of the awards simply aren't notable enough to be worth mentioning here at all — and that's another reason why we can't source such things to the party website, because the party isn't working with the same standards of "the award has sufficient notability to merit mention here" as we do. They have a vested interest in presenting his credentials in the best possible light, while we have a responsibility not to pretend that somebody giving him a "thank you for helping to organize World Youth Day" certificate is actually important enough to be worth mentioning in an encyclopedia (though if you can properly source a sentence or two about what he actually did on behalf of World Youth Day, that is something that would be worth mentioning.)
 * And the simple fact is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We don't need a policy to dictate that our articles need to be written primarily in proper English prose — it's inherent in the fact that we're an encyclopedia. But if you really do need a policy to dictate this to you, then do feel free to peruse our Manual of Style at your leisure. Bearcat (talk) 06:28, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi - Please can you add an independent source to the degree from the University of Leeds in the article. This is an assessed article and a huge amount of work goes into getting an article assessed so please can you help. Otherwise all that happens is that assessors subsequently downgrade the article. Also please ensure you convert bare urls as required by WP:BAREURLS. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 17:44, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Freedom of the City recipients (military), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Royal Naval College. 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.

Freedom of the CIty
You're doing great work on expanding the List of Freedom of the City recipients – I just want to point out that, as mentioned in the article lead, the list is only intended to include notable recipients (i.e. people with their own Wikipedia article). Also, general practice on Wikipedia is to exclude titles and post-nominals from people's names except when introducing an article subject, or in a few other specific circumstances. Thanks.

Minor edits
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content.

Advise
Please see: MOS:JOBTITLES, MOS:CAPS and MOS:DOCTOR. Generic stuff like 'city' need not be capitalised. Prime minister is a common noun and when not used as a title, should be minisculised. Honorary stuff like 'Right Honourable' should not be added with a person at every instance, with the only exception being the  and   in an infobox.

Proposed deletion of List of honorary citizens of Megève

Freedoms – RAF stations
Hi, thanks for your contributions to some of the RAF station pages. A list perhaps is not the best option for displaying such information when there aren't likely to be more than one or two freedoms granted to most stations.

Proposed deletion of List of honorary citizens of Taoyuan
Hello, Michael Drew

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username CaptainEek and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I’ve proposed an article that you started, List of honorary citizens of Taoyuan, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criterion. The particular issue can be located in the notice, that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to prevent the deletion:

 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit Edit the page]
 * 2) Remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) Click the  button.

But, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the raised issues. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

FRSA post nominal
Hi there, I noticed you're adding FRSA to Royal Society of Arts members where it appears according to Charles Allom the post nominal wasn't used before 1914. See Royal Society of Arts talk page section. In John Hick and other examples that I've seen, entries in the various period (Victorian) directories don't use FRSA but they do refer to the individual being a member of the Society of Arts.

no spaces before references
When adding references, please do not leave spaces between the copy and the reference mark. Also, do not supply WP:BAREURLS unless you cannot help it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:24, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It seems your most recent edit conflicted with mine. Stop adding bare URLs and that won't happen. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:43, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Per Citing sources and Manual of Style, please do not leave spaces between punctuation and the citation identifier, as you did here. Also, please note that the addition of content, even if just a date, should not be tagged as a minor edit. DrKay (talk) 07:39, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Please have the courtesy to use them. Anna (talk) 22:30, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm just noting that this concern is still relevant. See WP:ES for more information on edit summaries. Edits like this could use some explanation. This article title appears to have been changed from an appropriate one (List of...) to a more unclear one (Honors...), and with this edit to an unclear one using the wrong national variety of English (Honours...). It may help other editors to understand your rationales. Larry Hockett (Talk) 03:26, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Too many flags, too much bolding

Speedy deletion nomination of David Briggs (Lord Lieutenant)

A tag has been placed on David Briggs (Lord Lieutenant) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://cheshirelieutenancy.org.uk/the-lord-lieutenant-of-cheshire/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:38, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Royal Household Long and Faithful Service Medal

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. ''There are at least 4 editors leaving messages on this talk page asking you not to use bare urls, but you are continuing to do so.. I left you a message on the 9th April about bundling citations, but you have continued to ignore requests to bundle citations. There are at least 7 messages on your talk page asking you to add sources whenever material is added to wikipedia, but you are continuing to add material without sources. You have been asked at least three times at this talk page not to add spaces between references and punctuation, but you are continuing to do so.

You received a final warning on 20th April regarding your persistent addition of unsourced content and refusal to adhere to the Manual of Style. Since then, you have repeatedly added unsourced content, and added spaces or even breaks before bare citations. It is disruptive to continue with edits after being asked multiple times to stop. DrKay (talk) 10:28, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Immediately after coming off this block, you have added bare urls and added spaces before ref tags, thus completely ignoring all the warnings, and the block, and continuing the same behavior as before. You are therefore blocked again. DrKay (talk) 16:59, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
