Wikilinking
Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:
 * dates
 * years
 * commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
 * common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

This even applies for infoboxes.

Thanks and my best wishes.

Orphaned non-free image File:Helix (roller coaster) logo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Helix (roller coaster) logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:22, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Someone vandalized the article so that the logo was replaced with a non existing file. I've fixed it now. -abbedabbtalk 09:49, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Svenska nyheter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Swedish ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Svenska_nyheter check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Svenska_nyheter?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). 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.)
