Disambiguation link notification for August 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Somerville College, Oxford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Carnegie Medal ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Somerville_College%2C_Oxford check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Somerville_College%2C_Oxford?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.)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. ''Welcome, sorry for giving you a templated message but I noticed you copy/pasted a number of Oxford alumni pages. This gives you some information to make you aware of the wiki process of moving pages. '' Aloneinthewild (talk) 20:10, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

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.

Choir of Somerville College, Oxford moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Choir of Somerville College, Oxford, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. signed,Rosguill talk 01:54, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, Aivin G., and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to have a contributor who is keen to improve coverage of women connected to the Oxford colleges. As you are a recent Wikipedian, you might be interested in our Ten Simple Rules. If you run into any difficulties or need assistance, please let me know. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:10, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Spacing
Hi there, I see you've been spending some time removing what you regard as excessive spacing, largely between sentences. You might find MOS:PUNCTSPACE useful, regarding "Software condenses two or more spaces to just one when rendering a page, so editors may use any spacing style they prefer (e.g., a single space or two spaces after a period/full stop". So the double space is valid here, though no more or less so than single spacing, and the end result as to what is displayed is identical. That should save you a bit of time.

Regarding spacing in other contexts, there is further advice throughout the WP:MOS. All the best. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:23, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Somerville College March 2019
Hello Aivin G., I have a question and a comment about Somerville.

The question, do you have a reference for "The library is the biggest college library of the University of Oxford" in Somerville College Library? I have looked at the reference http://www.some.ox.ac.uk/library-it/ but that just says it is "one of the largest undergraduate College libraries in the University".

The comment, I edited Somerville College, Oxford to say Somerville's net assets had the seventh highest total for an Oxford undergraduate college. As background I have added a section on Finances to Colleges of the University of Oxford, with a reference to a 2018 Guardian article. College accounts do not include all their main sites and heritage assets, so they do not give complete values for the colleges' wealth.TSventon (talk) 15:22, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, I did not find a reference for that online. There are just no other college libraries with more than 120,000 books and it is advertised in the library itself. Thanks for the comment, I didn't know about that. --Aivin G. (talk) 15:41, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I would suggest that saying Somerville has one of the largest undergraduate libraries would be more in line with the verifiability policy. Something advertised inside a college library is not published information, for example.
 * I added the note on finances because Wikipedia users are unlikely to be familiar with detailed accounting rules. Valuation of unique heritage objects is generally avoided because it would be expensive and inaccurate and of limited relevance if the assets are unlikely to be sold. Somerville has a note about this on page 28 of its 2018 accounts.TSventon (talk) 16:43, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I have just made some more corrections to the article, mainly capitalisation. Hopefully they are not controversial.TSventon (talk) 11:45, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Girton College
Hi, further to your edit about Girton in the Somerville article, I have edited the description in line with the claim on Girton's website "the College is distinctive for being Britain’s first residential college for women offering an education at degree level." There should be an article about women's higher education in Britain but, as there doesn't seem to be one, I have added establishment dates to the list in the UK section of Women's college and will try to add some narrative eventually.TSventon (talk) 11:56, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks very much! --Aivin G. (talk) 16:23, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Another Somerville query: the Darbishire section says "The coat of arms of Somerville and that of co-founder John Percival, first principal Madeleine Shaw-Lefevre and Helen Darbishire were carved by Edmund Ware inside the quadrangle. The archway leading to Hall was reconstructed in 1938." Are there four coats of arms or two? If so I think the "that" should read "those".TSventon (talk) 14:49, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * There are indeed four coat of arms so I’ve changed it, thanks!--Aivin G. (talk) 15:45, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I have now added a brief introduction to the UK section of Women's college, if you want to add anything, please do.TSventon (talk) 15:14, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
