Mrs Biggs
Hi 76jk, there were two duplicate articles on this series, so I merged them.

Since the other one (which already existed before yours was finally uploaded) was in standard Wikipedia format and title and yours wasn't, I deleted yours and redirected it to the correct one, merging the salient texts. The full text of your old article is now also on the Talk page of the other article in case anyone wants to view its format and content and/or cull it for more information.

I realize you spent a lot of time on your article; that was very helpful in the merger as a good deal of your language and information was kept in the lead. However, since the format and article title of Mrs Biggs is preferable, it was best to use that as the template and carry over some of the relevant information from your article to that one rather than the reverse. Also, the episode summaries on your article were way too long.

The person who uploaded your article, User:K7L, should have checked before doing so because Mrs Biggs already existed four days prior to that. Also, there was no need to add the parenthetical onto the title of the article, as Mrs Biggs conforms better to WP:MOS guidelines for article titles.

I'm letting you know all of this on your Talk page so you understand what happened. Also, I advise letting User:REVUpminster write the synopses for the final two episodes, since he is experienced in doing that and will keep them the proper length.

Anyway, thanks for your understanding, and better luck next time on creating a new article. Often new television shows will very quickly get an article written by experienced Wikipedia editors, so that's what happened here. I hope you are not too disappointed, and continue to learn and grow as you edit Wikipedia. Happy editing, and all the best! Softlavender (talk) 10:08, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Fast Freddie, The Widow and Me, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Always provide an edit summary
It is considered good practice to provide an edit summary for every edit, especially when reverting (undoing) the actions of other editors or deleting existing text; otherwise, people may question your motives for the edit.

Accurate summaries help other contributors understand the change. When a major edit or deletion doesn't have an edit summary, there are fewer reasons to assume good faith.

For further information about edit summaries, please visit Edit Summaries. Thank you. Softlavender (talk) 04:41, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
